Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm Tamika D. Mallory and the ship Boy my Son
in general.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We are your host of TMI.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Tamika and my Son's Information, Truth, Motivation and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Inspiration, New Energy.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So what's going on TMI. We are here on the
ground in Michigan. Tamika is not available right now because
she's knocking doors, literally knocking doors. Today is election day,
so by the time you hear we will already have
had probably no you know, the results of this election.
(00:36):
It's been a very very tedious, very exhilarating, very energetic,
you know, going out into these streets and feeling energy
that there could be really be the first female black
woman president in history, and then it could be a
change and just the shift and just the energy in America.
(01:00):
You know. I've been very vocal about who it is
that I support, you know, and I've been vocal about
why I support that individual, and hopefully by the time
you hear this, you know, the prayers of many those
who really actually believe in democracy will have been heard.
(01:20):
So we've been going, like I said, we've been on
a gto B tour, get out to I mean GOTV tour,
get out to vote tour for the last couple of
weeks just going to different states, mainly the swing states
where we know that the vote can shift, you know,
the in different years, you know, Republicans controlled certain states,
(01:44):
or they won by the skin of their teeth, or
they took states that used to be you know, more
liberal and democratic. So those are the swing states that
we've been hitting, mainly North Carolina, Philadelphia in Michigan, those
are the main three states, and Atlanta as well. So
(02:05):
we've been on this g O TV tour that we've done.
We met up with a lot of different artists, you know,
we met up with a lot of different influencers, you know,
and it just seems like everyone is ready for a change. No.
Shout out to Michael Vick, Shout out to Beanie Siegal,
Shout out to Icewear Vessel. No, just a lot, just
(02:30):
a whole lot of people that was on the tour
freeway you know, who else? Could I tell you who
was there that you would know? Shout out to Black Sam,
you know, he was also on the tour. Shout out
to Woody my man came from Power and it's just
(02:53):
it's just we we had very in depth conversations. Black
male conversations. You know that took place because you know,
there's there's been this whole narrative that black men aren't
supporting Kamala Harris and that's just not true. So we
have conversations, but there is there are a certain demographic
who feel left behind, but the majority of us definitely
(03:16):
support her. You know, she wanted to make to that clip,
but we wanted to sit down with those who don't,
or those who are on the fence, or those who
had serious grievouses, or those who had misinformation and was
and believed certain things, you know, and we and we
got to the bottom in the route of a lot
of you know, the negative energy that we were hearing
(03:41):
in those regards. So, you know, shout out to everybody
who participated in those conversations. Shout out to my brother
Marvin Bean and the voter elves. Shout out to Pastor McBride,
you know, the partners who were on the ground with
us on the g TV work that we did. You know,
we wouldn't have these panel discussions and we went to
knock on doors just to make sure people were register.
(04:03):
These were pretty much non partisan events where nobody was
telling you who to vote for how to vote. Just
wanted to make sure that you were registered to vote,
and just wanted to make sure that if you were
registered to vote, then you knew how to go about voting.
Do you know where your early voting sites are? What
do you know that if your your voter's registration is
(04:27):
up to date? Those are a lot of things that
they use for voter disenfranchisement. Right you show up to
the polls and they tell you that your registration has expired,
or they didn't know you was living somewhere. They thought
they couldn't fight you with an address. You know, It's
just certain things. So we wanted to make sure that
everybody knew their status, they knew that they were up
(04:48):
to date, and we knocked on these doors. A lot
of people were invigorated to see us, happy that we
were coming and knocking on the doors. Then there was
a lot of people who were scared, you know, like
we gotta win, you know. And I see a level
of seriousness, Like I know, every time it's voting time,
(05:08):
there's a level of energy and sometimes it's serious. Sometimes
people say you vote to die. Had We've had all
type of campaigns and I'm not taking anything from any
of it, because they all are important. You know, when
people try to tell you that it's not important that
you vote for the president of the United States, it's
just mind bothering to me. You know, I'm not shooting
(05:30):
at anybody individual. I just don't understand the mind state
that you wouldn't have a say in the person who
has the strongest office in the land, who's able to,
you know, dictate policy, who's able to push policy, who's
able to influence policy, you know, who's able to just
pretty much guide the direction of where our country goes.
(05:52):
And if you live in this country and you don't
want to have a say on how the country is
being guided, you know, what are the morals of that individual?
If you're not looking and saying to yourself, damn, is
this person a good person? Is this person a strong person?
Is this somebody who believes in the rights all of us?
You know? Is this person gonna enact laws that are
(06:16):
going to be detrimental to me in my community? Like,
if we're not having those conversations, then what conversations are
we really having? And if we're not involved in the
process of actually voting, I don't see how we plan
to make any real change because the people will get
into these offices and as you go in the down
by ballot that you have to, they're gonna be senate racis,
(06:38):
they're gonna be congressional racist. And these things are key
for the president, right because if he doesn't have well,
she doesn't have the support needed when she wants to
dictate and pass a lot of these laws. If she
doesn't have the support needed because we don't have the
(06:59):
House of the Senate, then it's pretty much what they
call Laine Duck and Rubbert, you know, Robert stamping somebody.
You know, they're gonna do everything they can to undermine
what I leave. I believe she's strong enough. I believe
she's dealt with adversity her whole life. I believe nothing
on none of this is new to her. I believe
(07:20):
every time that I watch her that she has to
overcome and you know, be looked down upon and have
to be you know, prove herself all the time. And
I think this is just another example of the resilience
of black women. Yes, black women. Black women are resilient.
I tell people all the time. I've never seen a
(07:42):
more resilient person than my grandmother than my mother. Right.
So when we talk about leadership and they say women
shouldn't be lead, I heard I heard somebody that I
don't really want a name to give them that level
of energy talking about you know, she was she's traditional
and a woman don't supposed to sit in these seas
to the woman not supposed to be in charge of
(08:05):
this and that, and she know her place, And it
was just kind of disheartened because I believe a woman's
place is wherever she wants it to be. I believe
she should have autonomy. I should believe she should have
the opportunity to lead. I believe that she has the
ability to lead. You know, I believe that a woman
(08:26):
understand what it is that they can and can't do.
You know, we're talking about the physical aspect of certain things.
I believe a woman should understand that men it is
for security and safety and protection, and they should be
in those positions to make sure that they protect you. Right,
but not against your own will you know Trump talking
about that we're going to protect the woman whether they
(08:46):
like it or not, you can't tell that's what does
that even mean? How do you protect somebody that doesn't
want you to protect. That's imposing your will upon someone
like who in hell is going to authorize somebody to
protect them even though they don't want to be protected.
Who says that that's a good ideology, that's a good strategy.
(09:10):
You know, that's something when you when you're having a
conversation with a kid, your child, right, I said, I
say that all the time that like the first five
years of a child's life, they trying to kill theirself
and you got to stop them from trying to kill yourself.
So that ideology makes sense when you're talking to a
kid or about your child, about you know, somebody that
(09:31):
a young person that you're taken care of, it makes
sense that you're gonna protect them despite themselves. But that's
not for the grown adult women, educated women. You know,
a brilliant woman, a strong, resilient woman, a woman's who's
proven that they have the ability, the mentality and the
fortitude to lead. That's not a conversation you have for
(09:53):
those type of individuals. So you know, we we actually do.
Like she said, it's time to turn the page. I
am energetic. I am very hopeful. I feel like an
energy that's gonna shift. I feel that the world rejects
this notion of division. They don't want a president who
(10:18):
is for some of the people, who feels like he
has to take away the rights of people. You know,
he has to the fame people, disrespect people, he has
to target people. I don't think. I don't think that's
what America is. I think, yes, we've been built on racism,
and America is a racist country. But I believe that
(10:39):
we are growing more united. I believe that the old
white supremacists are dying out. And that's what that's what
Donald Trump represents to me. The old white supremacists with
the white supremacists my state. They remember when new slavery,
Remember when black people had to stay in their place,
and wasn't all these immigrants and in Latinos here who
don't speak to English that they want so they don't
(11:01):
think they belong here, and they're not patriotic all the bullshit.
Those white men are dying out. And this is white
supremacy's last dance. So when we would white supremacies ass today,
it's going to charge a new way forward. We're going
to see the beloved at some point, the beloved community
(11:21):
because we're breaking that all the batteries, right, because if
you after you break down all the batteries, it's nothing
else to constrain you. It's nothing else but freedom after
we break down all the the barriers. And no, and no,
Kamala Harris is not going to save black people. She
ain't supposed toble. She's going to do it save the
soul and just the energy and the democracy of America. Right,
(11:42):
that's what That's what America has always stood for. A
democracy that you have an opinion, and you have a view,
and your view is just as value as somebody else's.
And just because it differs from someone else, just because
your lifestyle, your mentality, the peap proachs and you love
whatever differs from somebody else's doesn't make you less valuable. Right,
And nobody should be able to hinder your personal preference.
(12:06):
Nobody should be able to do that. People should be
responsible for themselves, whether they like what you do or not.
It doesn't give them the ability. It doesn't give them
the right to impede upon your happiness, to impede upon
your satisfaction, to impede upon the way that you want
to live your life. That's within the laws, right, that's
(12:28):
within the boundaries of laws of integrity and honor.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Right, the as long.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
As you're not violating someone else's rights, people shouldn't be
able to tell you how you live. No, And I
think that's what's that state in this election, you know,
and anybody who doesn't see that, I'm confused. You know,
people say, oh, Donald Trump was in over the floor
or he ain't doing none of this stuff. You ain't
did he puts Supreme Court justices that pretty much roll
(12:55):
back civil rights. He constantly he executed more people than anybody.
Like when you look at the overall message that Donald
Trump has said, it's my way in the highway. And
that's not how you rule for the people by the people, right.
(13:15):
You can't. You can't completely impose your will on the
whole country. Right. And the thing is, if somebody thinks
that right, the person that thinks like that is dangerous.
So you can't give that person access to power. You
just can't. You know. It's really like when you talk
(13:39):
about the Avengers, you know, and you see what they
was fighting against. There was one man who decided that
there's too many people in the world and he needed
to get the five stones so that he can go
cut the population and people can live comfortably and they
can live happened, But there's no way that they was
(14:02):
going to do it with all these people. So he
felt it was his destiny to save the world by
getting rid of people that he deemed weren't valuable enough,
you know. And and that's that's pretty much the mind
state that we have here. You know, you have a
(14:22):
dictator who decides, you know what, these immigrants you we're
not from here. They don't deserve to be here. They're
not really human. They come here the violators, the rapists
and kill us all of the negative things, you know,
Puerto Rico. You know, Haiti's a shipthold all type of
everything he could think of to the mean anything that's
(14:42):
non white, you know. And that's that's just not presidential
to me. It's not strong. It's not somebody who deserves
the highest highest title of this life. So, like I said,
we were on the campaign trail, and while we were
out there, we talked too many people. You know what
we're gonna do right now, I'm gonna bring you to
(15:05):
an interview that pretty much Tamika, did you know with
our brother killer Mike along this campaign trail, and he
took us through Atlanta, and he showed us the thriving
economy in Atlanta, and he took us to his restaurant,
and he took us to a place where he supports
(15:26):
these young youths. You're gonna hear about everything that happened.
But Tamika has this interview, and I want you to
tune into this interview real quick. Tell me what you think.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well for the last side, how y'all going this time?
Welcome to the West Side.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You and our brother killer Mike with hey, listen, let
them know about Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Please, Avanta, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Is this an amazing place of opportunity for everyone, especially
African America. Where we're standing right now is past be
known as the West Side. The bluff is over there,
Rollo's from there, Able Maybel Thomas, one of my greatest
politicians in there.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But this strip is where everybody's from.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Me t I shot and old young droke, all of
us up it down here and lots of black vinness,
whether it was black business like you Ball, black business
like the Caato family, a black business likes Russell Fountly.
This is where opportunity abound. I'm from the Calli Heights,
Damnsville section. Right here, we're on the back head the
north Side Drive. But this is where you come. This
is where you open disneys, This where you recycle the
(16:29):
black dollar. This is where black political power. When the
district of Yering name is right now is an amazing
city council person. So when you come to Atlanta, don't
just go to Buckhead and don't just go to the suburbs.
Friend your ass to the westside and get some food.
If we had time, I take everybody to the blue
plane right now. Can I ask a question?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So so many people come to me and they say,
you know, kill a mic.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
We don't really know.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Where he stands.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Pol Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And I hear you saying that I gotta talk to everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah. And after I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Talk there going to and I And after being out
here with you and seeing all the stuff that you own,
I get that a full And you a Paul Kids.
So you a board member and a big financial donor
to or at least you bring a lot of resources
into Paul Kids. And therefore you every election and every election.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Official pressure on everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
What I have to seeing all the things that you're
doing you anti, it's not with us, but y'all are
buying up stuff everywhere. Why don't you talk about your
political position and why it's important for you to be
working with everybody, or at least putting pressure on everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That helps people get it.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
My political position is I grew up in an all
black world. This all the way to pulling industrial was
all black mouse a child, So all my heroes and
villains looked like me. The Democrats looked like me.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
They were black. The Republicans looked like me. They were black.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
They have arguments, but at the end of the day,
if it was to feed the homeless campaign, they were
right there next to each other, feeding the homies right
now to.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Hope Lil Williams doing it, and then.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
When they in the campaign, that's right there together. So
first and foremost, I'm a black man. I'm fighting on
behalf of this black community. I want to see the
black dollar circulating. I want to see black business ownership
and black opportunity to abound. So you say you don't
know my political side, which you really said is oh man,
he's not on my side, or I think he's out
on my side. I don't know what your side is
because I don't live in your city, but I know
(18:23):
in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
If George has been number one in business the.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Last ten years, then part of that has to do
with two Republican governments.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Make the deal and Kim.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It ain't that I want a kids, ask and love everybody,
and everybody's gonna be okay. You have some goddamn resources
that I get on my side of death. Now listen
to me, man, when our state didn't close during COVID,
I wasn't the one celebrating the women and men who
working on this court during celebrating because they.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Death and it was over. I'm not talking about yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
So I'm just saying complex as politics can be, it
really is as simple to me.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's who benefits this side of time trail. So now
what did your ass out and vote?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's it?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And demand something today after you vote because you didn't
you didn't think to have an agenda before that. But
I'll tell you what I like about Cobbler's agenda. She added, marijuana.
Marijuana is not broken over the Georgia in recreation. When
it breaks open recreationally, I'm bugging our government, tagging on,
hey man, how do we get in on it. I
want people who look like us because we spent the
(19:25):
last fifty years of prohibsion, actually since nineteen thirty seven,
long that we spent, we made the brown work getting
arrested out.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
The governor Kimp absolutely people think that in his friend.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, I can be anybody's free, but being your friend
on stock the stack, I got to ask you for.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Something because you have an office, your.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Office, your office hood forty million dollars roughly something.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
In trade schools.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
If it wouldn't have been for the progressive candidate Benson
Fort who ran and lost for mayor, that money wouldn't
have made it here because he pitched it. He fished
and raise hell about it doing Nathan deal. When we
come back around in my relationship with governed the Kimp,
I'm saying, hey, man trades and he in the high school.
We need to think about trades. We need to give
me fier in trades. When it came time for him
to do the whole scholarship bill, he didn't only give
it the academic scholarship.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
He gave it the trades.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Doing well now saw him with debate with Mike calls
that or Mike then calls that, but I know I
was saying that every step of the way gang enhancement
bill he signed. I was bidful against that bill, but
he gave me audiences. He gave me audience with him
and his administration. He still signed the bill. I let
him know I didn't agree with it, and I say, well, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
A pivot right to the prosecutors.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I'm supporting Fanny Lewis, Finnie Williams in this case. Part
of my supporter hers continued upon me, saying.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Look, I'm gonna support you. We need to get you
back and office.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
The witness said, I don't want to see raptors persecuted
for what the lyrics, and I don't want to see
gang enhancement hiding for every kid that had no other
friend group. He wasn't good at sports, he didn't join
the boy scouts who had decided.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Maybe be a prip board of blood.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You know, he is as much a victim as a
thirteen year old girl who gets trying to go coak
to seduce another thirteen year old room in the prostitution.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And if we don't give boys that same grace and discretion, we're.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Gonna be locking up our boys in the next thirty
forty years while women are just out here with no one.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Mary Vond and Builder, what.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Do you think about them saying that black men are
not gonna show up?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I think that's bullshit.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
So the black men we've been with today has showing up,
So you just gotta call bullshit now that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
The thing know is they deserve something.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
They deserve strong reunions, they deserve better paying jobs.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They deserve people opportunities in marijuana.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
They deserve to know that once I finished with my
probation to Kennedy, that I can get reregistered to both
of you has a big detailer. They deserve these things
and I'm here to make sure it happens.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
After now laughing, You just want to know because you know,
I'm all about community empowerment, but I'm now forty four
years old and I'm also about how we gonna live.
It's a guy money, that's money, money, money, money, So
I want to know tell us about what you own,
and you're not tell us everything you own?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Why I just I've ended up this why bus decision
I made with my wife.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You can her grandmama ran to look a house, so
she learned how to do book earl and me and
yeah yeah, Sha me, me and t I invested in.
We bought a fifty old just one of his restaurants.
We bought a fifty old restaurant down the street from
a woman named Is telling Hard She's eighty five years old.
Have the longest standing restaurant on bank Head Highway. And
(22:14):
I bought it with we some rappers and eggs. No, boy,
we bought it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We didn't know what to do and what Shade and
Crystal Peterson.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Doug Peterson, like Doug who wants to track me to
me them what they've been able to do over the
last four years.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Is fight tooth and Neil getting a restaurant opened, to.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Get us license and get the right contractors in there,
to get the visit homes that we know we deserve.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And they're the tiple of Spare.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Much like Michael Jordan's mother, march is ass then so
you're gonna get these Jordans. We ain't gonna wait for
adetas do the right thing. They marched in, They went
and got the loans. They wouldn't got the constructors before
they hired. We had an all black instructed team. We
have the two brothers on We had two amazing black
women in the tiple sphere, and they've done it. So
my business endeavors on this hours. I did what I
saw don't boys do when I was live, I mean
when they were alive. The guys that I looked up to,
(22:55):
like bast Steve Jones, guys like Tony Bevan's, guys like
slip Money, they bought all along here, they fought all
along here.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
And you've learned by example what's good business.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Before I ever owned one of these skyscrapers, I should
own a rental hat. And that's what I learned from
my heroes I looked up to, both legitimate and illegitimate.
So all me and T I doing dope man business.
That's what you're supposed to do. You supposed to buy
the neighborhood that you live in. You're supposed to refurbish
the housing till one hundred and forty three affordable housing
units down the street by wife and our own apartment
building right down the street, who're about turn into twenty units.
(23:27):
That's why they're by myself, no demon or no course yet,
but just doing what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's being best parking kids that why do that you're
doing all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Because so many kids suffer from lack of confidence. If
my sneakers are dirty, if I don't smell clean, if
I'm not confident about my hair or haircut, I'm not
gonna be confident to know that.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I'm confident in school.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
What LaToya Latania's doing is absolutely, absolutely amazing because she
gives kids the confidence. She gives them a quiet, safe
place to do their work. She gives them a pantry
to come pick up stuff from question whether that's hygiene items,
whether that's items.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Foods, and stuff they need. She's doing what Jesus would.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Have been, tracking count right up and down.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
And that was at.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
First story.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
How do you smell?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's one and I'm not asking for I'm asking you
about when.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
You want to see if you listen to my song
Something for Junkies off the Grammy Award winning album Michael
Shopping for Junkies, The second verse tells you and I said,
you know, I walk up straight trap with great count
and my money. Had a quick convo with my auntie
the junkie. She said, Baby, I said, baby, you've been
going too hard, like for you like sixty baby, but
you've been looking eighty, she said, She Michael, I've been
(24:49):
smoking since eighty the photo shooters back when they still
call the free basis. She closed the eyes, fantasized by
bellter Tine. When she was beautiful, fine and still snorting lines.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
She told me.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Stories the glory the I'm saying, Susane Atlanta, not like
rich black black Klama Klamba Boozie ah man. If I
wouldn't have been a little dope boy thinking I had
made some money because I had made ten thousand dollars
and my auntie hadn't got a chance to sit out
and tell me nigga, I used to suck out, nigga,
D'll buy y'all dope for so you ain't nobody special
(25:19):
and the only reason we fuck.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
With you is because you treat us like She said
that to me. I understood and want no glory.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I understood that I was just doing something that I
thought was cool and made it easier to survive because
I put it when he got a bullshit job at
six Flag, I didn't want to do that. I understood
in that moment that me recognizing her humanity, what's the
most valuable thing I could do? So what I'm doing
in my my elder statesmanship is recognizing that humanity, recognizing
the sins I've made of a child, and correcting those
(25:48):
sins by now coming back and with dope and investing
in those people. I hire people that have just gotten
out of jail. I hire people that are recovering from addiction.
We use those community of people to strength and want
a nothing to make sure that each everybody to keep
their head up in the game, even if it seems
like we lose it. And like I say, man, not
only did we bring a restaurant back, we brought thirty
and forty jobs that with it.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
And that's what we continue.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Money have you lost with the pride?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I lost it. I've lost lots of money in your business.
You don't take no losses and win.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
How much money would you say, if somebody got ten
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Can they get into onto I don't know. This is
what I know.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I know if you got ten grand that you should
save someone. You should put something away from the vestedge.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But you got grand that you got you you probably
shouldn't blow it at the buzz.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
You probably should put your ten grand into some pipe
of real estate. Vent your stock.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So if you want to buy, say a piece of
property for one hundred thousand bucks, you know ten grand
baking cham per cent of that, get somebody else with
ten grand, y'all got twenty percent. Y'all get a rental home,
get a duplex or something to stay on one side,
fix it up, rnt out the other side. Start very
simple and small and don't put your job job and say.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
That was the biggest special And listen, you're making me
want to cry on text thread. We shouldn't have special moment.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm get and I love you and appreciate you, and
you're a leader. I appreciate I know you do. But
what I saw, I know it. He heard us a lot.
So we're coming back and you're gonna be up.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
And ultimately what people needed the opportunity South Fulton County.
So over here on the west side, this is this
is movie we called the Wan. He's he's running for
post three. He's one of the people we're going to
be voting for because he's one of us. Now he's
from boring Home housing project. That's what setan NOI from
one of the most Torrian's housing projects. South Fullerton now
(27:46):
looks like going home Houston. But now it's flipp because
now what they've done and they gentrified the West Side,
they're pushing poor people out. And before I'm gonna tell you,
before you said it's a black thing, it's a black city.
They did the white folks first over in Cambrigetown, like
ninety six. They pushed the white homes out of Clayton County.
Stop martybus is coming.
Speaker 1 (28:01):
What
I'm Tamika D. Mallory and the ship Boy my Son
in general.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
We are your host of TMI.
Speaker 1 (00:05):
Tamika and my Son's Information, Truth, Motivation and.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Inspiration, New Energy.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
So what's going on TMI. We are here on the
ground in Michigan. Tamika is not available right now because
she's knocking doors, literally knocking doors. Today is election day,
so by the time you hear we will already have
had probably no you know, the results of this election.
(00:36):
It's been a very very tedious, very exhilarating, very energetic,
you know, going out into these streets and feeling energy
that there could be really be the first female black
woman president in history, and then it could be a
change and just the shift and just the energy in America.
(01:00):
You know. I've been very vocal about who it is
that I support, you know, and I've been vocal about
why I support that individual, and hopefully by the time
you hear this, you know, the prayers of many those
who really actually believe in democracy will have been heard.
(01:20):
So we've been going, like I said, we've been on
a gto B tour, get out to I mean GOTV tour,
get out to vote tour for the last couple of
weeks just going to different states, mainly the swing states
where we know that the vote can shift, you know,
the in different years, you know, Republicans controlled certain states,
(01:44):
or they won by the skin of their teeth, or
they took states that used to be you know, more
liberal and democratic. So those are the swing states that
we've been hitting, mainly North Carolina, Philadelphia in Michigan, those
are the main three states, and Atlanta as well. So
(02:05):
we've been on this g O TV tour that we've done.
We met up with a lot of different artists, you know,
we met up with a lot of different influencers, you know,
and it just seems like everyone is ready for a change. No.
Shout out to Michael Vick, Shout out to Beanie Siegal,
Shout out to Icewear Vessel. No, just a lot, just
(02:30):
a whole lot of people that was on the tour
freeway you know, who else? Could I tell you who
was there that you would know? Shout out to Black Sam,
you know, he was also on the tour. Shout out
to Woody my man came from Power and it's just
(02:53):
it's just we we had very in depth conversations. Black
male conversations. You know that took place because you know,
there's there's been this whole narrative that black men aren't
supporting Kamala Harris and that's just not true. So we
have conversations, but there is there are a certain demographic
who feel left behind, but the majority of us definitely
(03:16):
support her. You know, she wanted to make to that clip,
but we wanted to sit down with those who don't,
or those who are on the fence, or those who
had serious grievouses, or those who had misinformation and was
and believed certain things, you know, and we and we
got to the bottom in the route of a lot
of you know, the negative energy that we were hearing
(03:41):
in those regards. So, you know, shout out to everybody
who participated in those conversations. Shout out to my brother
Marvin Bean and the voter elves. Shout out to Pastor McBride,
you know, the partners who were on the ground with
us on the g TV work that we did. You know,
we wouldn't have these panel discussions and we went to
knock on doors just to make sure people were register.
(04:03):
These were pretty much non partisan events where nobody was
telling you who to vote for how to vote. Just
wanted to make sure that you were registered to vote,
and just wanted to make sure that if you were
registered to vote, then you knew how to go about voting.
Do you know where your early voting sites are? What
do you know that if your your voter's registration is
(04:27):
up to date? Those are a lot of things that
they use for voter disenfranchisement. Right you show up to
the polls and they tell you that your registration has expired,
or they didn't know you was living somewhere. They thought
they couldn't fight you with an address. You know, It's
just certain things. So we wanted to make sure that
everybody knew their status, they knew that they were up
(04:48):
to date, and we knocked on these doors. A lot
of people were invigorated to see us, happy that we
were coming and knocking on the doors. Then there was
a lot of people who were scared, you know, like
we gotta win, you know. And I see a level
of seriousness, Like I know, every time it's voting time,
(05:08):
there's a level of energy and sometimes it's serious. Sometimes
people say you vote to die. Had We've had all
type of campaigns and I'm not taking anything from any
of it, because they all are important. You know, when
people try to tell you that it's not important that
you vote for the president of the United States, it's
just mind bothering to me. You know, I'm not shooting
(05:30):
at anybody individual. I just don't understand the mind state
that you wouldn't have a say in the person who
has the strongest office in the land, who's able to,
you know, dictate policy, who's able to push policy, who's
able to influence policy, you know, who's able to just
pretty much guide the direction of where our country goes.
(05:52):
And if you live in this country and you don't
want to have a say on how the country is
being guided, you know, what are the morals of that individual?
If you're not looking and saying to yourself, damn, is
this person a good person? Is this person a strong person?
Is this somebody who believes in the rights all of us?
You know? Is this person gonna enact laws that are
(06:16):
going to be detrimental to me in my community? Like,
if we're not having those conversations, then what conversations are
we really having? And if we're not involved in the
process of actually voting, I don't see how we plan
to make any real change because the people will get
into these offices and as you go in the down
by ballot that you have to, they're gonna be senate racis,
(06:38):
they're gonna be congressional racist. And these things are key
for the president, right because if he doesn't have well,
she doesn't have the support needed when she wants to
dictate and pass a lot of these laws. If she
doesn't have the support needed because we don't have the
(06:59):
House of the Senate, then it's pretty much what they
call Laine Duck and Rubbert, you know, Robert stamping somebody.
You know, they're gonna do everything they can to undermine
what I leave. I believe she's strong enough. I believe
she's dealt with adversity her whole life. I believe nothing
on none of this is new to her. I believe
(07:20):
every time that I watch her that she has to
overcome and you know, be looked down upon and have
to be you know, prove herself all the time. And
I think this is just another example of the resilience
of black women. Yes, black women. Black women are resilient.
I tell people all the time. I've never seen a
(07:42):
more resilient person than my grandmother than my mother. Right.
So when we talk about leadership and they say women
shouldn't be lead, I heard I heard somebody that I
don't really want a name to give them that level
of energy talking about you know, she was she's traditional
and a woman don't supposed to sit in these seas
to the woman not supposed to be in charge of
(08:05):
this and that, and she know her place, And it
was just kind of disheartened because I believe a woman's
place is wherever she wants it to be. I believe
she should have autonomy. I should believe she should have
the opportunity to lead. I believe that she has the
ability to lead. You know, I believe that a woman
(08:26):
understand what it is that they can and can't do.
You know, we're talking about the physical aspect of certain things.
I believe a woman should understand that men it is
for security and safety and protection, and they should be
in those positions to make sure that they protect you. Right,
but not against your own will you know Trump talking
about that we're going to protect the woman whether they
(08:46):
like it or not, you can't tell that's what does
that even mean? How do you protect somebody that doesn't
want you to protect. That's imposing your will upon someone
like who in hell is going to authorize somebody to
protect them even though they don't want to be protected.
Who says that that's a good ideology, that's a good strategy.
(09:10):
You know, that's something when you when you're having a
conversation with a kid, your child, right, I said, I
say that all the time that like the first five
years of a child's life, they trying to kill theirself
and you got to stop them from trying to kill yourself.
So that ideology makes sense when you're talking to a
kid or about your child, about you know, somebody that
(09:31):
a young person that you're taken care of, it makes
sense that you're gonna protect them despite themselves. But that's
not for the grown adult women, educated women. You know,
a brilliant woman, a strong, resilient woman, a woman's who's
proven that they have the ability, the mentality and the
fortitude to lead. That's not a conversation you have for
(09:53):
those type of individuals. So you know, we we actually do.
Like she said, it's time to turn the page. I
am energetic. I am very hopeful. I feel like an
energy that's gonna shift. I feel that the world rejects
this notion of division. They don't want a president who
(10:18):
is for some of the people, who feels like he
has to take away the rights of people. You know,
he has to the fame people, disrespect people, he has
to target people. I don't think. I don't think that's
what America is. I think, yes, we've been built on racism,
and America is a racist country. But I believe that
(10:39):
we are growing more united. I believe that the old
white supremacists are dying out. And that's what that's what
Donald Trump represents to me. The old white supremacists with
the white supremacists my state. They remember when new slavery,
Remember when black people had to stay in their place,
and wasn't all these immigrants and in Latinos here who
don't speak to English that they want so they don't
(11:01):
think they belong here, and they're not patriotic all the bullshit.
Those white men are dying out. And this is white
supremacy's last dance. So when we would white supremacies ass today,
it's going to charge a new way forward. We're going
to see the beloved at some point, the beloved community
(11:21):
because we're breaking that all the batteries, right, because if
you after you break down all the batteries, it's nothing
else to constrain you. It's nothing else but freedom after
we break down all the the barriers. And no, and no,
Kamala Harris is not going to save black people. She
ain't supposed toble. She's going to do it save the
soul and just the energy and the democracy of America. Right,
(11:42):
that's what That's what America has always stood for. A
democracy that you have an opinion, and you have a view,
and your view is just as value as somebody else's.
And just because it differs from someone else, just because
your lifestyle, your mentality, the peap proachs and you love
whatever differs from somebody else's doesn't make you less valuable. Right,
And nobody should be able to hinder your personal preference.
(12:06):
Nobody should be able to do that. People should be
responsible for themselves, whether they like what you do or not.
It doesn't give them the ability. It doesn't give them
the right to impede upon your happiness, to impede upon
your satisfaction, to impede upon the way that you want
to live your life. That's within the laws, right, that's
(12:28):
within the boundaries of laws of integrity and honor.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Right, the as long.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
As you're not violating someone else's rights, people shouldn't be
able to tell you how you live. No, And I
think that's what's that state in this election, you know,
and anybody who doesn't see that, I'm confused. You know,
people say, oh, Donald Trump was in over the floor
or he ain't doing none of this stuff. You ain't
did he puts Supreme Court justices that pretty much roll
(12:55):
back civil rights. He constantly he executed more people than anybody.
Like when you look at the overall message that Donald
Trump has said, it's my way in the highway. And
that's not how you rule for the people by the people, right.
(13:15):
You can't. You can't completely impose your will on the
whole country. Right. And the thing is, if somebody thinks
that right, the person that thinks like that is dangerous.
So you can't give that person access to power. You
just can't. You know. It's really like when you talk
(13:39):
about the Avengers, you know, and you see what they
was fighting against. There was one man who decided that
there's too many people in the world and he needed
to get the five stones so that he can go
cut the population and people can live comfortably and they
can live happened, But there's no way that they was
(14:02):
going to do it with all these people. So he
felt it was his destiny to save the world by
getting rid of people that he deemed weren't valuable enough,
you know. And and that's that's pretty much the mind
state that we have here. You know, you have a
(14:22):
dictator who decides, you know what, these immigrants you we're
not from here. They don't deserve to be here. They're
not really human. They come here the violators, the rapists
and kill us all of the negative things, you know,
Puerto Rico. You know, Haiti's a shipthold all type of
everything he could think of to the mean anything that's
(14:42):
non white, you know. And that's that's just not presidential
to me. It's not strong. It's not somebody who deserves
the highest highest title of this life. So, like I said,
we were on the campaign trail, and while we were
out there, we talked too many people. You know what
we're gonna do right now, I'm gonna bring you to
(15:05):
an interview that pretty much Tamika, did you know with
our brother killer Mike along this campaign trail, and he
took us through Atlanta, and he showed us the thriving
economy in Atlanta, and he took us to his restaurant,
and he took us to a place where he supports
(15:26):
these young youths. You're gonna hear about everything that happened.
But Tamika has this interview, and I want you to
tune into this interview real quick. Tell me what you think.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well for the last side, how y'all going this time?
Welcome to the West Side.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You and our brother killer Mike with hey, listen, let
them know about Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Please, Avanta, Georgia.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Is this an amazing place of opportunity for everyone, especially
African America. Where we're standing right now is past be
known as the West Side. The bluff is over there,
Rollo's from there, Able Maybel Thomas, one of my greatest
politicians in there.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
But this strip is where everybody's from.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Me t I shot and old young droke, all of
us up it down here and lots of black vinness,
whether it was black business like you Ball, black business
like the Caato family, a black business likes Russell Fountly.
This is where opportunity abound. I'm from the Calli Heights,
Damnsville section. Right here, we're on the back head the
north Side Drive. But this is where you come. This
is where you open disneys, This where you recycle the
(16:29):
black dollar. This is where black political power. When the
district of Yering name is right now is an amazing
city council person. So when you come to Atlanta, don't
just go to Buckhead and don't just go to the suburbs.
Friend your ass to the westside and get some food.
If we had time, I take everybody to the blue
plane right now. Can I ask a question?
Speaker 2 (16:47):
So so many people come to me and they say,
you know, kill a mic.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
We don't really know.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Where he stands.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Pol Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
And I hear you saying that I gotta talk to everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yeah. And after I'm gonna.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Talk there going to and I And after being out
here with you and seeing all the stuff that you own,
I get that a full And you a Paul Kids.
So you a board member and a big financial donor
to or at least you bring a lot of resources
into Paul Kids. And therefore you every election and every election.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Official pressure on everybody.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
What I have to seeing all the things that you're
doing you anti, it's not with us, but y'all are
buying up stuff everywhere. Why don't you talk about your
political position and why it's important for you to be
working with everybody, or at least putting pressure on everybody.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
That helps people get it.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
My political position is I grew up in an all
black world. This all the way to pulling industrial was
all black mouse a child, So all my heroes and
villains looked like me. The Democrats looked like me.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
They were black. The Republicans looked like me. They were black.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
They have arguments, but at the end of the day,
if it was to feed the homeless campaign, they were
right there next to each other, feeding the homies right
now to.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Hope Lil Williams doing it, and then.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
When they in the campaign, that's right there together. So
first and foremost, I'm a black man. I'm fighting on
behalf of this black community. I want to see the
black dollar circulating. I want to see black business ownership
and black opportunity to abound. So you say you don't
know my political side, which you really said is oh man,
he's not on my side, or I think he's out
on my side. I don't know what your side is
because I don't live in your city, but I know
(18:23):
in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
If George has been number one in business the.
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Last ten years, then part of that has to do
with two Republican governments.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Make the deal and Kim.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
It ain't that I want a kids, ask and love everybody,
and everybody's gonna be okay. You have some goddamn resources
that I get on my side of death. Now listen
to me, man, when our state didn't close during COVID,
I wasn't the one celebrating the women and men who
working on this court during celebrating because they.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
Death and it was over. I'm not talking about yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
So I'm just saying complex as politics can be, it
really is as simple to me.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
It's who benefits this side of time trail. So now
what did your ass out and vote?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That's it?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And demand something today after you vote because you didn't
you didn't think to have an agenda before that. But
I'll tell you what I like about Cobbler's agenda. She added, marijuana.
Marijuana is not broken over the Georgia in recreation. When
it breaks open recreationally, I'm bugging our government, tagging on,
hey man, how do we get in on it. I
want people who look like us because we spent the
(19:25):
last fifty years of prohibsion, actually since nineteen thirty seven,
long that we spent, we made the brown work getting
arrested out.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
The governor Kimp absolutely people think that in his friend.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Yeah, I can be anybody's free, but being your friend
on stock the stack, I got to ask you for.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Something because you have an office, your.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
Office, your office hood forty million dollars roughly something.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
In trade schools.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
If it wouldn't have been for the progressive candidate Benson
Fort who ran and lost for mayor, that money wouldn't
have made it here because he pitched it. He fished
and raise hell about it doing Nathan deal. When we
come back around in my relationship with governed the Kimp,
I'm saying, hey, man trades and he in the high school.
We need to think about trades. We need to give
me fier in trades. When it came time for him
to do the whole scholarship bill, he didn't only give
it the academic scholarship.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
He gave it the trades.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Doing well now saw him with debate with Mike calls
that or Mike then calls that, but I know I
was saying that every step of the way gang enhancement
bill he signed. I was bidful against that bill, but
he gave me audiences. He gave me audience with him
and his administration. He still signed the bill. I let
him know I didn't agree with it, and I say, well, I'm.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
A pivot right to the prosecutors.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
I'm supporting Fanny Lewis, Finnie Williams in this case. Part
of my supporter hers continued upon me, saying.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Look, I'm gonna support you. We need to get you
back and office.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
The witness said, I don't want to see raptors persecuted
for what the lyrics, and I don't want to see
gang enhancement hiding for every kid that had no other
friend group. He wasn't good at sports, he didn't join
the boy scouts who had decided.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Maybe be a prip board of blood.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
You know, he is as much a victim as a
thirteen year old girl who gets trying to go coak
to seduce another thirteen year old room in the prostitution.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
And if we don't give boys that same grace and discretion, we're.
Speaker 4 (20:56):
Gonna be locking up our boys in the next thirty
forty years while women are just out here with no one.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Mary Vond and Builder, what.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Do you think about them saying that black men are
not gonna show up?
Speaker 3 (21:03):
I think that's bullshit.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
So the black men we've been with today has showing up,
So you just gotta call bullshit now that.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
The thing know is they deserve something.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
They deserve strong reunions, they deserve better paying jobs.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
They deserve people opportunities in marijuana.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
They deserve to know that once I finished with my
probation to Kennedy, that I can get reregistered to both
of you has a big detailer. They deserve these things
and I'm here to make sure it happens.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
After now laughing, You just want to know because you know,
I'm all about community empowerment, but I'm now forty four
years old and I'm also about how we gonna live.
It's a guy money, that's money, money, money, money, So
I want to know tell us about what you own,
and you're not tell us everything you own?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Why I just I've ended up this why bus decision
I made with my wife.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
You can her grandmama ran to look a house, so
she learned how to do book earl and me and
yeah yeah, Sha me, me and t I invested in.
We bought a fifty old just one of his restaurants.
We bought a fifty old restaurant down the street from
a woman named Is telling Hard She's eighty five years old.
Have the longest standing restaurant on bank Head Highway. And
(22:14):
I bought it with we some rappers and eggs. No, boy,
we bought it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We didn't know what to do and what Shade and
Crystal Peterson.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Doug Peterson, like Doug who wants to track me to
me them what they've been able to do over the
last four years.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Is fight tooth and Neil getting a restaurant opened, to.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Get us license and get the right contractors in there,
to get the visit homes that we know we deserve.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
And they're the tiple of Spare.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Much like Michael Jordan's mother, march is ass then so
you're gonna get these Jordans. We ain't gonna wait for
adetas do the right thing. They marched in, They went
and got the loans. They wouldn't got the constructors before
they hired. We had an all black instructed team. We
have the two brothers on We had two amazing black
women in the tiple sphere, and they've done it. So
my business endeavors on this hours. I did what I
saw don't boys do when I was live, I mean
when they were alive. The guys that I looked up to,
(22:55):
like bast Steve Jones, guys like Tony Bevan's, guys like
slip Money, they bought all along here, they fought all
along here.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
And you've learned by example what's good business.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
Before I ever owned one of these skyscrapers, I should
own a rental hat. And that's what I learned from
my heroes I looked up to, both legitimate and illegitimate.
So all me and T I doing dope man business.
That's what you're supposed to do. You supposed to buy
the neighborhood that you live in. You're supposed to refurbish
the housing till one hundred and forty three affordable housing
units down the street by wife and our own apartment
building right down the street, who're about turn into twenty units.
(23:27):
That's why they're by myself, no demon or no course yet,
but just doing what you're supposed to do.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
That's being best parking kids that why do that you're
doing all this other stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
Because so many kids suffer from lack of confidence. If
my sneakers are dirty, if I don't smell clean, if
I'm not confident about my hair or haircut, I'm not
gonna be confident to know that.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
I'm confident in school.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
What LaToya Latania's doing is absolutely, absolutely amazing because she
gives kids the confidence. She gives them a quiet, safe
place to do their work. She gives them a pantry
to come pick up stuff from question whether that's hygiene items,
whether that's items.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Foods, and stuff they need. She's doing what Jesus would.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Have been, tracking count right up and down.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
And that was at.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
First story.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
How do you smell?
Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's one and I'm not asking for I'm asking you
about when.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
You want to see if you listen to my song
Something for Junkies off the Grammy Award winning album Michael
Shopping for Junkies, The second verse tells you and I said,
you know, I walk up straight trap with great count
and my money. Had a quick convo with my auntie
the junkie. She said, Baby, I said, baby, you've been
going too hard, like for you like sixty baby, but
you've been looking eighty, she said, She Michael, I've been
(24:49):
smoking since eighty the photo shooters back when they still
call the free basis. She closed the eyes, fantasized by
bellter Tine. When she was beautiful, fine and still snorting lines.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
She told me.
Speaker 4 (24:59):
Stories the glory the I'm saying, Susane Atlanta, not like
rich black black Klama Klamba Boozie ah man. If I
wouldn't have been a little dope boy thinking I had
made some money because I had made ten thousand dollars
and my auntie hadn't got a chance to sit out
and tell me nigga, I used to suck out, nigga,
D'll buy y'all dope for so you ain't nobody special
(25:19):
and the only reason we fuck.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
With you is because you treat us like She said
that to me. I understood and want no glory.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
I understood that I was just doing something that I
thought was cool and made it easier to survive because
I put it when he got a bullshit job at
six Flag, I didn't want to do that. I understood
in that moment that me recognizing her humanity, what's the
most valuable thing I could do? So what I'm doing
in my my elder statesmanship is recognizing that humanity, recognizing
the sins I've made of a child, and correcting those
(25:48):
sins by now coming back and with dope and investing
in those people. I hire people that have just gotten
out of jail. I hire people that are recovering from addiction.
We use those community of people to strength and want
a nothing to make sure that each everybody to keep
their head up in the game, even if it seems
like we lose it. And like I say, man, not
only did we bring a restaurant back, we brought thirty
and forty jobs that with it.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
And that's what we continue.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Money have you lost with the pride?
Speaker 3 (26:10):
I lost it. I've lost lots of money in your business.
You don't take no losses and win.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
How much money would you say, if somebody got ten
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Can they get into onto I don't know. This is
what I know.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I know if you got ten grand that you should
save someone. You should put something away from the vestedge.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
But you got grand that you got you you probably
shouldn't blow it at the buzz.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
You probably should put your ten grand into some pipe
of real estate. Vent your stock.
Speaker 4 (26:33):
So if you want to buy, say a piece of
property for one hundred thousand bucks, you know ten grand
baking cham per cent of that, get somebody else with
ten grand, y'all got twenty percent. Y'all get a rental home,
get a duplex or something to stay on one side,
fix it up, rnt out the other side. Start very
simple and small and don't put your job job and say.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
That was the biggest special And listen, you're making me
want to cry on text thread. We shouldn't have special moment.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
I'm get and I love you and appreciate you, and
you're a leader. I appreciate I know you do. But
what I saw, I know it. He heard us a lot.
So we're coming back and you're gonna be up.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
And ultimately what people needed the opportunity South Fulton County.
So over here on the west side, this is this
is movie we called the Wan. He's he's running for
post three. He's one of the people we're going to
be voting for because he's one of us. Now he's
from boring Home housing project. That's what setan NOI from
one of the most Torrian's housing projects. South Fullerton now
(27:46):
looks like going home Houston. But now it's flipp because
now what they've done and they gentrified the West Side,
they're pushing poor people out. And before I'm gonna tell you,
before you said it's a black thing, it's a black city.
They did the white folks first over in Cambrigetown, like
ninety six. They pushed the white homes out of Clayton County.
Stop martybus is coming.
