Speaker 3 (01:53):
So this is now. They said they nice to finally

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Marcella's shut out to Chris in the building, some of
our regulars, you guys been asking for it. You've been
saying visual. I need to see my ADHD. I need
to see what you like. I need to see what
your lifted got on. I need to see what's what's what?
So out of your girl them finally decided, you know,

(02:16):
to go ahead and get our YouTube show popping.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, let's get straight to it.

Speaker 5 (02:21):
We're gonna talk about some stuff that that I've been
talking about already on my page that I wanted to,
you know, kind of get some feedback on or give
you my feedback on it, if you will, and kind
of expound on it here. So first things first, farmer
Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is preparing for a governor race.

(02:43):
Preparing for a governor race in Georgia. Now, let's last,
let's ask Marcella's let's put him on the spot. Born
and raised, does she have a chance? I would say,
come on, Marcella's keep this shit real.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
The Pauls and.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
I had to be a little bit, you know, dramatically, y'all,
I'm gonna say no, I don't think she have a chance.
Stacy Averys didn't have a chance. I don't think she.
I know people are saying her looks, you know, they
were trying to use that to say that, you know,
she looked more like the candidate that you know people

(03:25):
probably will want or whatever.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
But I don't see her having a chance. I know,
I see some people say she.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Don't have the look because she got braids and all
of that kind of stuff.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
Well, you know they were saying because they were trying
to say Stacey Abrams was on the heavy side and
and uh keish Land's Bottles is more on the slim side,
and all that type of stuff they still trying to
use that day.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Did you say that, Marcella's No.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
They've been talking about it all over Facebook, all over Instagram.
I've been watching, So I don't think. I think, I don't.
I just don't think that they elect a black a
black woman as a governor.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Is we haven't had one as a governor period in
the United States. We've had I think it's over forty
four women that have been elected. Not one has been
a black woman, which is why. So, this is what
I want to ask y'all in the comments, why did
y'all think if y'all didn't think they would they would
elect a black woman governor? What made y'all think they
was gonna give elect a black woman president. That's what

(04:28):
I'm confused, Because what y'all thought, because other states was
gonna be able to make up the difference. You still
have to win those South State. If you did not
think that they won't give a woman and y'all say, well,
that's because it's Georgia. No, there's never been a black
woman elected, never as governor. Governor runs the money for
the state. They are the basically the CEO for the state.

(04:48):
If they won't even allow a black woman elect a
black woman to be governor, what made y'all think that
Harris I'm just trying to figure out the logic be president.
And remember Harris was not elected. She was selected by
Joe Biden. Joe Biden was at the top of the ticket,
so people were voting for Joe Biden.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
She did not win the Democrat nominee nomination. The fair
and square square away was actually having to go through,
you know, on primary different states. So I just don't thought.
I just I'm just confused on why y'all thought they would.
And y'all so sure that that Keisha couldn't get it.
What made y'all think that Kamala was gonna get it?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Well, I think the.

Speaker 6 (05:28):
Rich girl brands. She signed it up. She said, we
were hanging on to hoping prayers.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Oh yeah, let's keep real.

Speaker 5 (05:36):
Let me see what comedy is we were hanging on,
so basically delusional. Right, let me see what she getting
cause she said, Okay, they were tolding on the holts
and prayers. Yeah, solutional, So somebody typing the comics delusion.
Let's let's name it for what it is. Non holtsing
prayers is bottom line delusion.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Just keep it real. Let's just keep it real.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
Delusion, energy, energy, the lulu.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
That's the bottom line.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Hey, I respect that, because dude, to help me, y'all
believe because again, yeah, exactly, they barely didn't like like
they said, they barely allow the black men. We've had
three black men but no black women, so it won't happen. Right,
That's just the bottom line, guys. So so we move
on from that store. I guess it ain't too much time.
And she did say that she set it out an

(06:28):
official announcement, just so we're clear.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
They did not say.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
She said she told a news station that she was running,
but the official announcement has not been sent out, so
we'll just wait and see. You know, Now, a couple
of things I want to point out because there's a
couple of things that you can benefit from running and
just kind of run through it. By the way, guys,
for those of you that want to enroll in the
Push the Line training, I have set a date.

Speaker 3 (06:56):
It's going to be June fourteenth. I believe that's a Saturday. Yeah,
June fourteenth. Somebody put June fourteenth in the comments. Also
click hit the like button.

Speaker 5 (07:08):
June fourteenth will be the first of five total five
total sessions.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
Each one is two hours. You get a completion certificate
if that matters to you get a completion certificate.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
At each one or if you do all five. This
is what we did in twenty twenty two. Marcello's was
a part of it. It is the Push the Line
nonpartisan training. I'm going to do a virtual. It's just
too costly. It takes too much to get going to
different cities and doing it. So we're gonna do a virtual.
I said I wan't gonna do a virtual before, but
Marcello's I gotta do a virtual. People are asking for

(07:45):
the information. We don't want to keep, you know, stalling
people out. I'm going to give the information that they need.
So if you want to possibly run for office, if
you think, oh no.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
I may want to run, but before I run, I
want to know what's real.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
If you want to work on a campaign that's called
a campaign operative, or if you just want to be
an organizer, meaning you just want to know how to
organize better, how to galvanize your community.

Speaker 3 (08:07):
This training and Marcelli's can testify. This training is the
bomb dot com.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
Yeah, each one will be two hours. It is in
a way that anybody can understand it and run with it.
It's very affordable.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's twenty five an hour, so a total of fifty
bucks for a two hours interactive with me in a
private train and that's not on YouTube, on a private
server that's just for training that we can ask questions.

Speaker 5 (08:32):
I can pull you up. You can be a part
of the class. Quizz a homework like a real program.
You complete all five of them. You completed the whole
push line training. But the first one will be June fourteenth.
I want about sixty days to market. I'm going to
the Breakfast Club next week, have some other national media
that I'm setting up to do it to make sure
that we have a really, really good class of folks

(08:55):
that can actually go through this training. Put a five
in a chat if that sounds good for you. So
with that said, one of the things you can do
when you're running for office is.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
You may not know, you may believe you don't have
a chance in hell.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
This might be a get out the vote strategy g
OTV get out the vote, which that means is you're
running a no chance in hell campaign, but you're doing
it to raise money to hopefully benefit other Democrats, benefit
the party to get out the vote. A lot of
y's say, well, that's a waste of money. Think about
it as a PR campaign. Think about money that she'll

(09:32):
be able to pull that if somebody that's running under
her will not be able to pull. And again, put
a forward in the chat if y'all just love getting
this game this information. Put a forward in the chat
because commentators be commentating on this, but they just be talking.
I'm giving y'all the operative, you know, all of the game.
Put a forward in the chat if you like this information.
So when you do get out the vote, think about

(09:53):
it as a PR campaign. So that means she don't
have a chance in hell. But let's say Marcella's wanted
to run, and he wanted to run city commissioner. He
doesn't have the national cachet, He may not have the contacts,
he may not have the resource to run well. If
she runs and raises money, what that does is it
allows people to maybe go for the polls to her,
but go for Marcellus and so a lot of times

(10:14):
they'll combine, Like on the strategies I tell y'all on
the shack combining merging resource from everybody told you what
your business, you should be combining resources. If you do
a Starbucks sales books, and I mean Starbucks sells coffee,
and Barns and Nobles sales books.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
They combined, so the merging, think about a merger.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
If she's running for office, it might bring out an
extra five, ten, fifteen, twenty, thirty thousand in a county
for a candidate that may not otherwise have the exposure
because what she'll be doing is buying literature and getting
people to come to the polls, and more than likely
that voter will vote Democrat down ballot. So for those say, oh,
it's just a waste some money, I don't know why

(10:55):
she's doing it or why they just did it in
Florida knowing that they probably didn't have a chance in hell.
Many of you on the comments, because I saw you
on the comments sad.

Speaker 3 (11:03):
It's just a waste of time. It's just a waste
of time.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
No, you can't win down the long road if you're
not penetrating, you know, every time you have a chance
to run. So think about, just think about they're dropping
a twenty million dollar billboard or twenty million dollar commercial
or twenty million dollar averageizing campaign. I would love for
them to put that money in local races. I'm with
you on that, But I do want you to understand

(11:26):
why they do those those hard races is because it
does benefit other candidates.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
For example, in California, very liberal state, very liberal, but
they have Republicans who have been running every two years
and guess what a lot of those seats they have
flipped Republican. Same thing in New York. So you cannot
It's over time. It's just like a den.

Speaker 5 (11:47):
If you get enough dents in the car, if you
get enough hell damage on your roof, at some point
you'll total the roof out.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
It will no longer be worth what it is.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Still may be a roof still maybe on top, you know,
maybe a roof with those little patches. Over time, the
water comes through and it falls down. Does that make
sense to you. I'm saying that because I got a
repair roof, y'all, and I'm taking one of my rent houses.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
Hey, if it's just a matter of just as long
as the as long as.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
It ain't raining on nobody's head, as long as it's
not a you know, no damage, and it's just the
looks of it, the top of the roof. You want
me to pay you twenty thousand dollars just because it
looked better, No, I can't do it. Also, aluminum roofing products,
that's another thing that went up in the terra. If
somebody in the comments put the terraces are coming, the
terraces are coming, the terras are coming. I know you're
gonna say it don't make a difference, but it actually

(12:33):
does make a difference.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Roofing went up.

Speaker 5 (12:35):
Roofing stuff went up twenty to twenty five percent, twenty
to twenty five percent. So I can't afford unless you know,
obviously I'm not gonna have a rain on the tendon's
head or you know, things like that. But if it's
just an esthetic, it's just an aesthetic, you know, situation,
then no.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
I don't have pay for it.

Speaker 5 (12:53):
But over time, those those small things become holes and
the rain comes through until it collapses.

Speaker 3 (13:00):
That's how you have to think about when they're putting
a lot of money on the ground on these on
these races that you think don't have a chance in hell.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:08):
Oh, you appreciate that information that game. And again that's
the type of stuff guys, that you will be getting
in the training. I give you the background, wide works,
how it works, and so forth.

Speaker 3 (13:23):
Next story I want to talk.

Speaker 5 (13:24):
About is you guys saw the anti Trump protesters gather
in Washington and US cities. Y'all tell me what y'all
think about that, because I'll put it online and black
people say, get somebody else to.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Do it, or get somebody else.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Put a two in the chat if you get somebody
else to do it, and put a three if you
were standing if you were standing out there with your
little sign and stop dictatorship now two people, get somebody,
get somebody else to do it. Three if you were
standing out there in the heat with your fellow white
brothers and sisters.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
All right.

Speaker 6 (14:00):
I know when I was doing over each yesterday, they
were shutting the highways down. It was so much traffic
because they was out on the highway and they thought
I was blowingsappointing. I was blowing the horn saying, get
your ass out of the way. That's I ain't give
a damn about what they were talking about.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
And it was a it was a whole lot going
on in Atlanta yesterday because that had four or four
weekend going on. The concert was going on Friday night. Uh,
then you had this going on.

Speaker 5 (14:26):
So and then you know, y'all love talking about Atlanta
traffic so bad, so bad, you know, you know, y'ah
something Can I take a pause? You know what I'm
about to bring up? I got that a ward the
other day. They love, you know, with something else, y'all,
y'all something else in Atlanta, y'all loved showing up. Well,
you know, the traffic bad. Bearing all was driving through
the same traffic. Why is it that when me and

(14:47):
you go to the same place, we both got to
be there at seven now, But for some reason the
traffic is the traffic bad for Marcella's but it ain't
bad for me, explaining we all we all had to
drive through the same traffic.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Paul, you didn't leave it enough time.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Concept of time, saying, oh, it only take thirty minutes.
So you didn't anticipate the car wreck. You didn't anticipate
or slow down. You didn't anticipate.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
That's why if it takes if it takes you thirty
minutes to get somewhere, you should be leaving in an hour.

Speaker 5 (15:17):
If it take an hour, you should be leaving an
hour and a half. Give yourself a thirty minute bump.
So I'm letting y'all know now that I'm y'all new
resident in Atlanta. That old girl, you know, the traffic bad,
I don't want to hear it. We start on time.
It's apt today we about three minutes behind somebody that
comes like we must be on CPT time.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
No cept time. Two hours to three of minutes.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Ain't cept time, especially in Atlanta, is about an hour
and a half.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
It best so.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
That hour and a half at bag you know. The
traffic bad. Child the child, The traffic ain't that bad.
But anyway, it don't be bad on your white job.
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
You know, I test pleasure to organize our trips, that's right,
that's right. I don't.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
That's why I don't go out with girlfriends. I don't
do no girl, we gonna meet up.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
None of that. Oh no, girl, you can get there.
I'm not doing none of that. What you got on?

Speaker 1 (16:09):
Girl?

Speaker 3 (16:10):
What you wearing? Issue?

Speaker 2 (16:10):
This you that?

Speaker 3 (16:11):
I'm leaving none of it? Okay, girl, I g right
back with time. Girl, drive on your own. I see you,
I see. I don't. I don't.

Speaker 5 (16:16):
I don't like waiting on nobody. I don't travel with nobody.
I don't like none of that. When I'm ready to move,
I'm ready to move. I don't want to hear about myself.
You gotta go check this.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
This that allatis for at all? Like at all.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
My mother was very stern on a concept of time.
So I ain't got the time for it. But anyway,
Uh but attorney, what's the name Atlanta na a CP?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
What's that? No over your Atlanta na a CP? Hold on,
let me look it up. He said he was out there, attorney.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
Let me see because he said, he said, yeah, we
we was after were doing our said duty.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
Uh yeah, Gerald griggs a turn of grigs.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Oh okay, okay.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
When he was out there and everybody said, well, get somebody,
I said, oh, you're the only black person I know
that was out there.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Everybody else said, get somebody, else do it.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
Now, I want you guys to know that I am
absolutely with y'all when y'all say let the white people
do it.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
And you know I believe in protests. I get y'all.
What I don't want you to get confused is to
understand that black people have been affected regardless of who
they voted for. This is hurting everybody.

Speaker 5 (17:37):
So I know when y'all in the comments saying they
getting what they deserve, that's what they don't forget. A
lot of our cousins are also going to experience the
consequences of this administration. I'm not saying that to say
you need to be out there protesting. What I'm saying
is I want you to use this as an opportunity

(17:57):
to build our community up. I want you to use
this opportunity as a chance to build our community up,
which means, just like I was talking about last week, FAM,
you lost sixteen million in funding support an HBCU. If
you can, if it's not FAM, you If FAM you

(18:19):
lost it, you know somebody else lost it.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
If that doesn't move you, cool.

Speaker 5 (18:23):
If it's a church that also applies for grants, I
know many of y'all say, well, the church don't pay
no taxes. They don't need to be done fined. I
ain't talking to you. If you got a church that
you like, that you support, that's doing different programs, then
set aside twenty five dollars for the church. If it's
an NAACP, if it's an urban league, if it's a
football a youth football team, if it's an after school program,

(18:47):
if it's anything anything at all that you support that
you know has lost funding or don't even you ain't
eve got to worry about knowing they lost fund and
everybody lost fund, and just consider everybody lost fund and
they already underfunded. What I'm asking is and that third
thing that we talk about when I talk about save,
when I talk about STACK, I want to talk about secure,

(19:08):
secure the permit to a But the second thing I
talk about was secure. Secure our nonprofits, secure our community organizations.
Secure your favorite podcast person like me all, if I'm
believing in y'all top five?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
Well, what do you mean? Tells? How can we secure you?
Follow the show, clicklight, come on to YouTube, subscribe on
the Actual Black Effect podcast Network. Follow the show. If
you see a.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
Post, even if you don't like it, just like it
like I have to fight through the noise. You guys
already know what you see what algorithms they push out
on Instagram, which is what most of the time comedy, bullshit.

Speaker 1 (19:47):
Drama, yep.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
So in order to get some real stuff out, you know,
some real every now and then, because I like to
be entertained to click light rock with your girl.

Speaker 5 (19:56):
Don't hurt too, just two minutes a click light, don't
nowhere anybody gonna think you are simple, you weak. So
those are the kind of things that you can do
that I don't want you to forget because three hundred
thousand black people this month alone will be laid off, guys,
so we cannot forget that.

And then let's do it with thing.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Guys.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
There's not a lot of us, so we have to
be louder than everybody else. We have to work harder
than everybody else. We have to push through the bullshit
more than everybody else. This type of work is not
our guys. Trust me, it's not easy. I try to
quit on a daily basis. Literally, Yep. Just today I
was like, man, y'all got this. I'll be just like y'all,

(21:03):
trust me.

Speaker 3 (21:13):
Final story I want to talk about, guys.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
I saw I got a lot of traction on my
Instagram and it's behind a paywall. The article is uh
and you can google Google the story, the title and
another page to come up to show you the non paywall,
which I'm glad they did this. So I just want
to kind of give you some background this it says

(21:37):
for years. A National Park Service website introduced the Underground
Railroad with a large photograph of its most famous conductor,
Harriet Tubman. The Underground Railroad. The resistance to enslavement through
escape and flight through the end of Civil War refers
to the efforts of enslaved African Americans to gain their
freedom by escaping bondage toughness photo is now gone. In

(22:00):
its place are images of postal service stamps that highlight
somebody in the comments put highlights black white cooperation. They
literally the post the they have hair tubman, and they
got any thing black white corroborate cooperation in the secret network,
and that and that feature tupman among abolishes of both races.

(22:26):
In other words, we only gonna tell the story. We
show the white folks next tour that was helping her. Right,
they just insist on guys like they insist on like
we just can't have no story.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
They must, they must. They remember myself tending this other day.
They must include them and everything. It says. The introductory
sentence is gone now.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
It has been replaced by a line that makes no
mention of slavery, and that describes the underground Railroad as
one of the most significant expressions of the American civil
rights movement. It said the effort bridged the devise of races,
of both races. Do y'all hear that they said that

(23:04):
the underground Railroad was a bridge to bring white folks
and black folks together, not that black people were escaping slavery, right, y'all?
This is something else, and this is on the National
Park Service website.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
You're gonna look at it yourself.

Speaker 5 (23:22):
This was from the executive order from Donald Trump directing
the Smithsonian Institution to eliminate the divisive narratives even though
it's the truth. The divisive narratives steered fears that the
President aimed to whitewash the stories the nation tells about itself.
So they literally said, we don't want to hear no

(23:44):
more divisive, even though slavery was divisive as hell. We
don't want you to tell the story. Don't y'all find
that alarming? Y'all put a five in the chat.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
That is alarming. So not only are they saying take.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Take the history after thing now, they even said what
little history y'all got left? Just make it up as
you go. Yep, just make it up as you go.
It also said some were edited edited to remove references
of slavery. On other pages, statements on the historical struggle
of black Americans for their rights were cut or softened,

(24:24):
as we're references to present day echoes of racial division.
The posts compare web pages of late March to early
versions preserved online by the Internet Archives way Back Machine.
So In other words, the reporter went back and looked
at what it was and what it is now and
doing a comparison. This is why, guys, what Christy Williams
is doing with Black History Saturdays is critically important. Shout

(24:48):
out to Christy, who also was one of my trainees
will push the line and became a trainer, and she's
taken all that she's learned, and obviously not just from me,
but just Christie working in this space for so long
and now for her for the third year, she's been
funded by National Geographic to actually teach Black History Saturdays.

(25:09):
I'm so proud of her in Oklahoma. She's a descendant
of a Tulsa race massacre in Oklahoma. In every county
in Oklahoma boats conservative. So she was not sitting back
saying well, if only Tesslim did this, if only this
person did that. As long as that she took it
up on herself and started teaching Black History Saturdays. And
now we are going to be working mean to me,

(25:31):
working with her to make it even louder. I featured
her on Revolt a couple of weeks ago. So proud
because people giving her donations follow her page. She's like Teslam.
I've never had this much support. You know, it's a
lot of her because she hasn't been a national story.
Whoopy Goldberg mentioned it on the view but didn't realize
didn't mention Christy's name. So I'm gonna work to try

(25:53):
to get her more media exposure. And then through the
training that I'm doing, we're gonna have her also be
do Black History Saturdays virtual, do Black Heads Saturday Virtual.
And this is gonna be a good one, guys, for
your whole family, you know, to sit around the computer,
and I'm gonna work with her on some dates that
she's going to pick. As I roll out this training initiative,

(26:16):
she will be one of the trainers. Put a five
in the chat if that sounds good. This is where
you know, quick little hour, you know, have your kids
sit around, say hey, you know interactive you guys can
ask questions. We have to figure out how to expand it.
You know, we can't get her to go to every
single city. We can't get you know, hopefully people will
contact her and learn how to recreate the program, you.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Know, in their town. But in the meantime, I'm trying
to use all my resources as I'm bringing people attention,
you know, over to my training that we will bring
it to hers and guys, we have to charge something
because she needs to raise money. So but it'll be
something like twenty five bucks and very nominal you know fee.
But people got to get paid, software got to get
paid for her business.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
You know, she's still running. Just because it's a nonprofit,
don't mean that you still don't have bills to pay.
So I want to help her in her fundraising efforts
with that to keep the program going. She does offer
it free if you are in Oklahoma and you can attend,
you know, on Saturdays, but virtually I want to do
it as a way to fundraise, you know, to help

(27:18):
her keep her program going, because what we don't want
to do is depend on national geographic But amen, in
the chatter, you believe that what we don't want to
do is have to depend on national geographic and what
happens is not saying it's gonna happen in this case,
but what I've seen, when we depend one hundred percent
on their funding, they get to decide how long the

(27:38):
program stays open and how long and how long the
program closes. So we want to make sure that she
has other funding sources besides just the National geographic.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
I'm gonna keep it real with y'all.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
One reason why I'm doing YouTube and not that I
don't think Revolts had a great relationship with me for
the last six years. Chase a great relationship with me
for the last six years. But I have to have
something that also where I can reach my people that's
not connected to anybody at all, and YouTube is one
way to do that, so you guys can interact with

(28:13):
me that's not connected, you know, to any organization. So
that way, if I still need to keep, you know,
keep this going, regardless.

Speaker 3 (28:21):
Of you know who. And by the way, I'm not
an employee of either one. I'm a contractor.

Speaker 5 (28:24):
But if I got to keep this going, then I
still got access to you guys. They shove me off
on Instagram. I got another way that I got access,
not on Facebook. I'm not active on Facebook anymore. But
I said, I really can't stand being on Twitter. So
I said, let me at least get my YouTube going,
because y'all know y'all love visuals. Let me at least
get do better with my YouTube so that way I
can have some way of reaching you guys, you know

(28:48):
as we move forward. Other than that, guys, thank you
so much for joining. I'm gonna close after show officially.
I'm gonna close after show officially.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Thank you so much, guys for listening to the straight
Shoting No Chaser Pop cast.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Yes, I am on fan base, but it's fast fan base.
They do, they support what we're doing. Me and Isaac
always go through that over and over.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
Oh, but I'm on fan base.

Speaker 5 (29:08):
I'm asking on fan base, but my people are not
on fan base, so I can't be on a platform.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Where nobody hears me.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
And Isaac and I go through it all the time,
and I need Isaac to it is Isaac on Teslin figureot.
It's a mutual, you know. Y'all love asking me about
fan base. Y'all, go ask Isaac when is he supporting me?
Because he didn't show up at the town hall, Diddie
Marcellas did not.

Speaker 6 (29:30):
Yeah, I was at the door.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
I always sees Isaac. Y'all.

Speaker 5 (29:38):
Love by y'all, y'all, twenty four hour, y'all, twenty four
hour marketers for fan base. I want to show me
some love. Hey, we got Chris and Building, who was Okay?
I want to see if it worked.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Who was at the town hall that we did?

Speaker 5 (29:54):
How are you, Chris, I'm doing good?

Speaker 3 (29:58):
All right? All right? What are your closing thoughts tonight?

Speaker 7 (30:03):
Oh oh I thought this was the test.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
But anyway, well, I want to thank you Aginning. You
passed all the tests.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
You drove six hundred miles to come to the town hall.
I guess I'll ask you to tell the people about
the town hall what you found.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Because we had a mix of things.

Speaker 5 (30:25):
We had comedy, we had community, we had some some
little bit of speeches. I was very pleased let the
people know because you like, let's take the show on
the road.

Speaker 7 (30:35):
Oh yeah, first, I'm now with you about going on
the road.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
Now, I'm right there.

Speaker 7 (30:42):
But as far as the town hall, we had a
oh man, it was amazing Testlaen had extremely I'm not
from Georgia, so I don't know all the important people
other than like killing Mike and your girl, your comedian,
Uh yeah, yeah right. And I was able to finally

(31:07):
meet Marcellus.

Speaker 3 (31:08):
I don't know if he remembers me marking up to him.

Speaker 5 (31:13):
Marcella said he was working like a dog. He's been
talking about it every day, like a dog. Working, Like
do you were standing up?

Speaker 3 (31:23):
I went over to Marsels. I was like, she's working,
you man from talk about that all night. I was
working my dog. I was. I had to go away
and give my boy a hug.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Yeah he's organized though. This stuff is real.

Speaker 3 (31:44):
I him that sixty gunna attitude is damn.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
You know what I'm saying, Well, yeah, you you the
one that told him me, because he's been talking about
every day.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
I was up and swear, I said, Marcel's I got it.
You were swear. I was swimming like dog. We're not dog.
Hu everybody like a dog. We all like a dog,
big dogs. We don't big doggies for myself all night.
Don't worry man, I'm a marine, and I was. I
was scared of that sixty gunner.

Speaker 5 (32:15):
You know what I'm saying, No Marine, I know you
lying you No Marine.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
They the baddest or the baddest look to the marine.

Speaker 5 (32:24):
Man, I'm to the marine. I want to be marine
so bad. But the Marines got the best dress. I
couldn't the best dress uniform, so no salute.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
I didn't know that, oh y'all, Oh yeah, oh yeah,
and it's all made sense. Oh yeah, y'all civilians. That's why.

Speaker 5 (32:42):
Oh yeah, you're talking about the Marines. Baby, they walk
rounds of dB Oh yeah, she definitely. Now it all
made sense. Now Okay, I didn't know that it's all
made sense.

Speaker 7 (32:52):
Oh yeah, So get back to that, you know, talk
about the I mean we had it was so much
like fan, You're such a personable person, Tesla, and that's
what makes this so genuine.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
As the person that.

Speaker 7 (33:12):
You or who you are and what you bring, what
you bringing to the table for us. We're so overdue
for this. I mean, I've been I kind to calculate it.
It's like probably almost six years now that I've started
out following you, and you have grown and you've brought
such I mean, I told you in one of my

(33:35):
comments that I'm like I do is rotate my tithes
and change my all and I'm I'm there, you know,
from there, and I drive back down to to Atlanta,
what you know, trying to drive as far as I
can wherever you are, to to feel that family attitude

(33:56):
because he's it's like something that we really need in
out commune.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
And the fact that you're teaching us how to.

Speaker 7 (34:07):
Become a candidate, how to become an organized how and
you may be somewhat attended one of your online seminars
where you were teaching us all the different uh mechanisms
of how to become involved in politics and how to
how important you embedded, how much, how the importance of

(34:32):
getting into local.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
Politics not national politics.

Speaker 7 (34:36):
And how it how it grows when you get your
candidate into your local uh uh school, you know, the
school board, the even the pta, the small and let
them grow. They have more power they don't, you know,
then as you grow up, going up higher. So that's

(35:01):
that's what it really I think that really got to
a lot of have gotten to a lot of people,
but I truly learned that.

Speaker 3 (35:11):
And you've made us think about.

Speaker 7 (35:14):
What our positions really would be. Are you really a candidate?
Are you an organizer? And that you know, I'm having
a brain fire right now. But there's you know, there's
take it time. There's just so many positions that you
and you don't necessarily have to be a candidate. You
could be a backstage you could be backstage to push,

(35:37):
to push somebody and to help them get to where
you want them to be. It's just so much information
that you are giving to us that we needed.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
To learn long ago, but I don't.

Speaker 7 (35:53):
This I think is probably the most perfect time for
us to learn. It's so important for us to start
getting together, and you bring that to the table, and
I want to you know, just you are that person
and that like you've often said that this is this

(36:16):
is what you were born to be, and I totally
totally agree with that. And I appreciate you giving me
the opportunity to speak always. I am genuine to try
to help in any way that I can.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
I'm retired now, so I can I can help a
little bit. I appreciate It's so inspiring, guys, Like even
seeing you in the comments and seeing and you know,
just for those who watch in real time, you know
Marcella's was he just started out with somebody in my comments.

Speaker 5 (36:53):
You know, we didn't know. I just saw him all
the time, and I was like, hey, let me bring
this guy up and let me be a part of it.
That's why I were doing this Sunday show guys, so
I can bring you on so we can talk and
we can commune and we can get information. I want
to make myself as accessible as possible to you guys,
for your questions. I love Instagram, Chris, but I'm trying
to get everybody to, you know, come over here so

(37:14):
I can have more interaction. And I'm being honest. I
want a place where I can find you guys, that
I control, you know, that nobody can turn off. I've
had done a lot, done Breakfast Club, done Revolt a
few times, have done.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
With one of the Black News Channel. I do a
lot of different I've done a lot to build up
everybody else's stuff, and so I really got to start
where I can reach you guys, because you are right
right now. It is critically important that we have space
to be able to talk. And I'll just give you
this story. The award I got on Friday. I was
nominated by.

Speaker 5 (37:47):
Somebody Paul and the lady who's one of the chair
people of the organization and Marcello's was there. Chair people
of one of the organizations. Was my first train in
twenty ten. And I know she didn't remember because she trained,
you know, hundreds of people every year. But I told
the story, and I'll just tell you guys this and

(38:09):
where why you feel me? Literally feel me. You know
I'm not bullshiting. You can feel it, you know, in
twenty ten, I was doing talk radio in Orlando and
I met my co host at a restaurant, Don Miller,
for lunch. She was having Brown with having lunch with
Congress from mcquadine Brown at the time. And she said,

(38:29):
I hear you debating all the time, you know, on
the air, going back and forth because Don's are conserved,
and we would go back and forth.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
And she said, you need to go to training.

Speaker 5 (38:37):
And at that time, this was twenty ten, I was
still I wasn't earning anybody else working at T Mobile
at the time, trying to start my business at the
Ally Group. I was going through a divorce Jadas and
then she was three, I guess four. At the time,
I was living in Orlando. My ex husband had moved
to Atlanta his job relocated him. So I was in

(38:59):
Orlando by myself and she said you need to go
to training. Now, this training you had to be sent
by somebody elected. They only the Congression black Caukus, which
is why you don't see me over the rock and
went because I saw you coming. They were like, oh,
you need to go work to DNC. No, we're gonna
keep it just like this because the way and they
still have it. You have to be sent by a

(39:21):
congress person or somebody with a title. She sent me
and we went. We did a five day mock training,
meaning that you pretended like you were a candidate. They
made me be a conservative candidate, knowing I was gonna
lose in a room for demcrasts. But point is, I
walked in I'll never forget Christ and has holes in
my shoes because I was really struggling. You know, I
wouldn't had any money coming in. I believe that I

(39:42):
could start my staff in business. Elijah Cummins represented Elijah Cummins.
He was the greeter of the first speech, and rest
in peace to him. If you ever heard his story,
he talks about how he had a stuttering problem and
how he never believed that he was supposed to be
in Congress. And I cried like a baby the whole
time because I knew that I did. It was just

(40:03):
a happenstance for me to be there. After that, I
attended many trainings the White House Project, Go Run lead
Ruthless Yell School, Yell Yell Law School, Campaign for Women Chris.

Speaker 3 (40:18):
I attended every training you can think.

Speaker 5 (40:22):
Of under the book. I mean in the book, but
I never felt I belonged. I never felt that they
were talking to people like me. I never felt that
they were given the real deal, like for real, for real,
what you're gonna have to deal with. All of them
were very the cookie cutter, the same, you know, they
were all, you know, hey, come in and get your
friends and family to donate.

Speaker 3 (40:42):
Then after that knock on door, you know, none of
it was the real, the real.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
I ran for like six months, five months in Orlando,
got off the ballot, so I'd never seen I worked
on campaigns, I never seen the training that really just
told like for real, for real, you.

Speaker 7 (40:54):
Know, say they can't take the real though thelan they
can't take the real yeah, you know, I mean, you
tell it like it is, and.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
They don't like it. They can take they can't. They
can't take that. They don't like that. It's bad, but
they don't like it in that face, and it's bad.

Speaker 7 (41:10):
What makes it even more meaning for you to do
what you're doing, because that's what we need. And I'll
be honest with you, it took me a long time
to take up the courage to even push this button
and come on here and talk to you. About it
because I'm like, I don't want to be Marcellus, but anyway,

(41:31):
but you know, but you know, you give me the
strength you have given me. It's taken me a while,
but you have given me the strength to step up, okay,
and I hope that that you also have given many
others like me the strength to step up.

Speaker 3 (41:51):
And and I mean.

Speaker 7 (41:53):
I'm originally from Birmingham, Alabama, and I was I'm a
child of the civil rights I'm a product of the
civil rights movement, and I have PTSD right now because
of all the things that I saw at four years
old that I am, I am reach it's like it's
being rechgurgitated, and I'm so pissed off about, you know,

(42:16):
the things that are going that I'm reliving that history
and I'm you know, and to see people and I'm
retired and I and I see the repetitiveness of all
of this stuff that's.

Speaker 3 (42:31):
Going on right now, and I want to help.

Speaker 7 (42:34):
Take action because I think I have something to bring
to the table. So so I want to help others
be able to step forward because I you know, I'll
say I had a little stage.

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Fright, but you allowed me.

Speaker 7 (42:51):
You gave me the strength to step out and it's
like all you got to do is just push.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
The button, yeah and it'll flow yep.

Speaker 7 (43:00):
And then and coming to the town Hall was one
of the you know, I was able to touch and
feel and see all of this, all of this, all
of this blackness, you know, and and it really Jenner,
it really uh. It has energized me and felt a
bit hopeful again.

Speaker 5 (43:20):
Yes, yes, oh thank you. And that's a lot coming
from Marine, y'all because he don't know nothing about afraid
of nothing. You're sharing that, Chris, because the interaction of
touching people, you know, just being in space does make
a difference.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
And I want to do more. And we got to
raise the money and we got to get because God,
and be honest when you think about you know, we
did have to charge for tickets because the comedians got paid,
got paid. He no mare said a word for a dog.
He got paid. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (43:50):
I'm just telling y'all like what it is, so y'all
can know that even the money, even the money we
put into where it goes. You know, the DJ got paid.
The shots that everybody got, whoever got the free shot
that got paid. I had the open tab.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
The comedian got paid, security got paid, you know.

Speaker 5 (44:05):
So I also try to show it that we can
create our own echosystem, you know of stuff, you know.
And then I had to put my own couple of
thousand in especially at the after Park because Marcel's then
set up there and ate up.

Speaker 3 (44:16):
Some dollars for school.

Speaker 5 (44:19):
They showed me and Chris we went and I'm gonna
say it, I'm gonna probably talk about this a few
more times.

Speaker 3 (44:24):
Went to the uh myself up to a Wings. They
got bottles.

Speaker 5 (44:29):
They popped big bottle. I sent up and said, y'all
to Bill for twelve hndre dollars. They were like, ooh,
that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (44:35):
Did twenty dollar in it? A fifty dollars? Then the
ad didn't put nothing on it. They said big dog
got it.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
So but for real, I try to host people and
try to cause you know, Serena came in, George Floyd's
cousin flew in from Houston. You don't say you want
to host people, you know, all Josephs side, they didn't
chip in.

Speaker 3 (44:52):
No, Chris thought just keep rid of.

Speaker 5 (44:54):
But these events costs, you know, so I want to
do it again, and y'all saw I'm marketed it for
ninety days. I couldn't depend on, you know, kill a
Mike Center out a couple of times, but I told
them don't worry about keep sending it out because I
don't want every time somebody do something at Bankhead they think,
you know, you're supposed to promote, you know what I mean?
So just you guys made that happen by sharing it.

(45:14):
I went live every day. If y'all remember, put a
five and chatter. If y'all remember I was live every day.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
Hey, y'all, just share it, even if you don't live
in Atlanta, just share it. Just shareff just share. You
don't know. Surprise Chris, because people came from Virginia, d C, Houston, Dallas, California, Yeah, California,
New Jersey. I was like, wow, that always floors me.
So guys, we want to do it again.

Speaker 5 (45:37):
I am gonna try to partner with somebody, but I
gotta be very careful Chris on who I partner with,
because what happens, you know, they'll try to kind of
like trade, yeah, that's right, and then looking at me
crazy and you over there with something, you know. So
I got a partner with a group that can help
get people in the room so that it's not all
on me. But also by doing the virtual training, you know,

(46:02):
using those funds to raise money, I can then take
that and do something in you know, once a quarter,
so that it's not all on me. I got a
dollar going to college in August, and I got an
announcement I'm gonna make to you guys next week. So
it really is just me, y'all. I'm a divorce say,
ain't no cap I'm not rich. I don't have no
men dollar book deal I do. Okay, I'm not rich.
I ain't got it, straight up, I don't have it.

(46:24):
Are you gonna find me a ross dress for less?

Speaker 3 (46:26):
You're gonna find me a fact? Like that's all good?

Speaker 5 (46:29):
Yeah, Hey, like rich friends, but I'm not rich, and
I don't ask them for shit, you know. I try
to just you know, do what I can and just
try to sell fun. And even now that I'm asking
for cash affs, now like I have to do it, guys.
I haven't did it for seventeen years. Seventeen years. I've
always done it on my own. But now I'm never

(46:49):
gonna grow to the things that we need.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Keeping Marsellas on the payroll, keeping Jade on the payroll.
I need to hire somebody to do more online. You know,
digital we won't grow. I don't need a bunch of people.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
You know.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
I'm not trying to be a take over the world.
But well, I'll never grow if I don't at least
be willing to accept the help. It's just very hard
for me because that's just something I've never done. So
you guys feel me up.

Speaker 3 (47:14):
You know.

Speaker 5 (47:15):
When I see you online, when you always in the comments,
you always showing.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Love, that really does a support.

Speaker 5 (47:21):
So Chris, we are gonna do it again, needs another
one before the end of the year, because even myself,
that energy of touching people and hugging on folks and
you know, putting a face with the name like oh
you such and such in the comments. People really need
a tribe in this moment. They need instruction. They need
to know what do we do next? They need tips.

(47:43):
It's not all doomsday. We need to encourage each other.
We need to laugh, We need to hug on each other.
Like all of that is so important. So I do
hear you, and I do appreciate you stopping by and
stopping by.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
You know, for the show tonight. I really appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Look like I got love you in the comments. I'm
gonna bring you up and then we're gonna close out
the show. Now, this is support supporter. Supporter that guys
if you remember me on the Breakfast Club and he
would call in and say he want to speak to
his wife.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
This is him, and DJ would say, does she know
y'all married? Like, yeah, she know, but and I don't
never stop with me though. Hey, if he.

Speaker 5 (48:18):
Running off somebody, then you, I guess you need to
be ran off. What's happening on there?

Speaker 1 (48:21):
How you that's my wife?

Speaker 3 (48:24):
I chiz.

Speaker 7 (48:27):
Real, let me let me get out the chat, and
I'm appreciate you allowing me to come on.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
I'm gonna I'm gonna let you let your boy have this.
You're on the next stage here, and uh, thank you
and see you in the future.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
Okay, that's a little Chris. We hopefully see you next week.
We're gonna be doing this every Sunday. Give us some
clothes and thoughts and I'm gonna get y'all out of here.

Speaker 4 (48:47):
But Tess, I just want to say this that you
are appreciated. What you do is appreciate it. You know
I don't need to be on a payroll. I'm unofficially
officially on a payroll. Let me put this out here early.
I know this might be somebody's first time, but if
you got smoke with Taz and keep it respectfully, I'm outside.

(49:07):
Look you heard. Look man, this this this the wife this.
I respect her on a different level, Taz. I'm proud
of you.

Speaker 1 (49:15):
Do what you do.

Speaker 4 (49:16):
You know I'm a single fall but I was mad.
I missed the last pull up. I will not mix
another one. I love you, my cellars. Keep holding my
wife down.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
Man.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
I respect you, King, Thank y'all.

Speaker 4 (49:27):
Y'all appreciate I'm gonna send you when your birthday be,
I'm gonna send you something you heard.

Speaker 1 (49:31):
I got you because I love you and I love
what you do.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
I appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (49:37):
Hold me down on all things, instram me sharing everything,
Breakfast club, all of that.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
When I got off the Baverst Club, he was calling
up there.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
They wouln't put him on out and say, baby, don't
worry about it and this is all good. Don't don't
start because they put him on the air a lot.
But he was feeling away and it was just because
I don't.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
I don't like to.

Speaker 5 (49:58):
There was never no bead, never no issue never you know.
I'll tell you guys now, it's never no issue, no whatever.

Speaker 3 (50:03):
I just am not one to.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
Like I just said it all last week, which I
preach somebody needs to say something, you know. But I
just move a little bit different when it comes to
you know, my relationship, my contractual relationships.

Speaker 3 (50:18):
But there was never an issue. There's never no beef,
never know whatever. But I'll tell you this.

Speaker 5 (50:22):
Doing the front page news forty fifty hours a week
was taking a lot of time because even though you
just see fifteen minutes, a lot of words, Marcelles can
tell you goes into producing that because I produce it myself,
my own clips, my own my own copy, the writing,
and then also presenting it.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
So do a lot.

Speaker 3 (50:45):
Oh it's a hell of a lot, you know.

Speaker 1 (50:47):
I can imagine. You know, I did radio.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
I did radio for fifteen years, so you know, I
know what goes into it. That's why I respect you
so much. And the fact that you still have your
energy to do what you do with boots on the ground.
It's just tellus I adore you know. My mother was
a black panther so I endure you.

Speaker 1 (51:04):
I put it.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
I'll put you on that level because I adore what
you do. If I had some rose pedals, I throw
them at your feet. I love you. Just keep doing
what you do whenever, let me know what I can
do the support whatever makes sense.

Speaker 3 (51:16):
When you said your mother was, I noticed that. Guy's
about me and ladies. I noticed that that.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
In order, and I'm just saying this in general, pivoting
to the relationship talk here a second, in order, because
I think some men just see, oh, you're just creating content.

Speaker 3 (51:34):
No, this ain't content. This is about change.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
So in order for a man to really valid, to
understand the value of what I do or what you do,
he has to have some this or this is good,
some connection that he can Because I noticed that about men,
I'll say, well, my mother was like you, or my
sister with a black panther, or my mother's in the
struct they have to have something.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
And I'm just speaking for me to understand what I'm doing.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
In other words, if you are a and I'll just
use any profession, if you're a bank teller and you
feel like you know a bank teller, that that's a
steeply whatever it is, and he's never had any ideal
what that is and doesn't have any He just sees
it as a job.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
And what I noticed with.

Speaker 5 (52:17):
Men with me is if they don't have a high
regard of what I'm doing, if there was never anything,
do you know they are a lot doing for your sister?

Speaker 1 (52:26):
Doing it for him?

Speaker 5 (52:27):
Or everybody didn't like they mama, Everybody didn't like they sister,
everybody did you know what I mean? That might be
trauma when they were talking about the election. Do it
to your parents, do it for your mama. You don't
know everybody wrong. Tupac said it best when he said,
I'll never forget I. I was a crack baby, he
said it, but he loved his mother. But there was
still conflict and trauma and all of that that he
had to work that he had to work through. So
I appreciate you saying that because I have these conversations

(52:50):
offline all the time that if a man doesn't have
a high regard for what I do, then he can't
appreciate who I am, meaning he does no, he doesn't
get the full He just ow she just doing videos,
or she's making content, or she's just being seen online
or she did. There has to be something that that
that man can connect so that he can know. No,

(53:12):
you ain't just with now it makes sense. You're not
just rob on me because you think I'm attractive or
think that I mean not damn that too in my
own Oh.

Speaker 1 (53:18):
Yes, not too.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
That's such a plus though, you know. But it's it's
your own ideology. It's it's your whole ideology, the way
your outlook. I'm telling my mother used to have something
on the refrigerator and it was, you know, quote from
Malcolm X. You know, my first book report I had
to do was on on my first badwa school book
report was on Marcus Dorothy and Malcolm Max was on

(53:41):
our refrigerator and said you could stand for something or
fall for anything. And I used to, you know what,
as a young boy, you walk by refrigerator. You know,
it really didn't hit me till I got older. I
was like, man, you can stand. And then when I
hear that, I see your face. Now you can stand
for something or fall for anything. And like I said,
your whole idea. I give you a walk the way

(54:01):
you carry yourself, queen, I'm you know, I hold you
down like the Breakfast Club shut me down for a
minute because I like, y'all my wife. You know what,
I gotta pull up. But I'm Sharlie so so, but
you know this is my family too. Let me say this.
I love the breakfast Club. Shout to shot of Man,
shout out to DJ Envy to the whole team, because

(54:23):
they do give me a platform. But I missed my wizzy.
I miss my wife. It's nothing like going up there
shout with my wife out every day. But you know,
I hold you down in my heart and I'm like
I said, I don't care what I have to do.
I'm pulling up as a single farre. I have just
told my son, like, yo, we going to an atl
because my gun ATL.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
So we gotta pull up.

Speaker 4 (54:44):
So Queen, I'm riding with you and I got don't
think I got some people with boosts on the ground
out there watching out for you.

Speaker 1 (54:50):
So you fully covered. Just know that, y'd you know
it's real. I love you, baby.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Oh this is what support looked like. Got me, blesh it.
This is what support looks like.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
I'll be on the REPASTUF next week actually, so I'm
going up there to talk about some things and you
know the error next week, but no, I appreciate you,
I really do for real, even virtual support, it matters,
you know when we say protect our black women, protect up.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
This would have looked like, Yo, this would have looked.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Like if he ain't rocking with you like this, then
he really ain't rocking with you. And that may not
be his person they may not have the same personality,
but there should be something he should.

Speaker 3 (55:24):
Be sticking his chest.

Speaker 5 (55:25):
I need you stick your chest out about me, like
I need you to really feel this way about me,
and he got and women we go through we a
lot of time we don't know what it looked like
because even me, I don't know what it looks like.

Speaker 3 (55:35):
Are we confused? O, Well maybe it should look like
this or not look like that.

Speaker 5 (55:38):
And we try to program and condition our mind to
not get this type of love because a lot of men,
when they show love like this, all you simp and
are you this so you that? No, this is what
masculinity actually looks like, the ability show love not asking
nothing from it. Just I appreciate you, I'm with you,
I'm outside if need be, what's happening? I love it

(56:00):
and I appreciate you. I do, I really really do.
And he really was calling up the guys. I'm talking him.
I said, stop money, because they gonna they're not gonna
let you call up there in.

Speaker 1 (56:08):
The mor if you ain't, if you ain't pulling me off.

Speaker 4 (56:11):
You know, I was outside like yo' y'all, be yo,
I got pull up. I mean, like y'all, y'all you know,
like but you heard, but it is. But it's real
like that, because I do know y'all need all protection,
you queens, especially you women like Jasmine, like me and
my morees and just talk about you, Jazmine, like y'all.

(56:32):
Whole the whole makeup of y'all is what I see.
My mother went through. She was in the same chapter
as as a feenie in a Bronx. A fenie was
originally didn't let me let me put it apark was originally.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
From holler from the Bronx. My moms and I'm served
in the same chapter.

Speaker 4 (56:48):
And you don't know my mother was telling me show
me scars on her knees or she is rushing us
out because the fans was born in the buildings, just
serving us breakfast. You heard so, So that's why we
pay yo. Mama and my love goes deeper than deep.
Just let me know when you're at the breakfast club.
You need me bad, you need some essence, purity.

Speaker 1 (57:08):
Yeah, your heart.

Speaker 2 (57:10):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (57:11):

he ain't gonna miss it. Just a huge support and

(57:33):
I appreciate it because one thing you guys can help.
And I'm just telling the men in full transparency. I
think a lot of people think, well tells the no
you get supported. Well, I'm not gonna say nothing because
you hear it all the time. We really don't, guys,
We really don't, and sometimes you do and it's not
really that real real, you know what I mean? So please, guys.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
I need you not from no blow my head up
type stuff. It ain't I ain't on that type time.
I'm telling you I actually need y'all for real.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
Like there are days, many, many days Marcelles will tell
you y'all done had many on my sailors. No, y'all
got it, Marcelf No, the Lord ain't through. I don't
be saying that love it because I want you to
be like, No, tanz No, it ain't on that. I
just honestly really struggle a lot with what else can
I do?

Speaker 3 (58:13):
What more am I doing? Enough? Can I this so
that you saw it? If you had your mother and
y'all saw it? So this is not easy word guys,
So please don't feel like you simp in.

Speaker 5 (58:21):

because baby, I love you. I absolutely love you, not
just in my words, in my actions. I hope you
see it in my actions. I'm not conforming, I'm not folding.
