00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Because we definitely came to talk

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
That's the business that's the business

24
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
That's the content creation that's talk

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Again

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Picking up from last week's conversation

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
It was basically

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
A situation of just basically speaking

29
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
On different ways especially for Blacks

30
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Black people to be heard

31
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
To

32
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
I mean there's a lot of lanes for us to get into

33
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
But one of those lanes a lot of us

34
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Do not choose to get into one is due to

35
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
As I say government roles especially

36
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Seats and

37
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
Seats in the council and all that stuff like that

38
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I mean it's a lot of us it's a lot of things

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
That we can do to help

40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Because a lot of us have the

41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Knowledge especially

42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
As I call it

43
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
The hood mentality

44
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
I hate to say it that way but the hood mentality

45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Especially those that are coming out of the hood

46
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Can help

47
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
A lot

48
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
A whole lot

49
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Fix a lot of the problems that

50
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
We miss out on

51
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Some miss out on that they

52
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Don't know about it because they didn't live through it

53
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
They didn't go through they don't understand

54
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
They didn't understand that struggle so that struggle has to be

55
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
You know can be spoken

56
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Up on and at least something

57
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Give some advice to help it

58
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Fix it as I always say what's the use

59
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Of talking about something if you can't come up with a solution

60
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
You know if you

61
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Ain't gonna speak on it and speak on it with knowledge

62
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And power like I mean how can we

63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Fix it you know so

64
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
One of the people I was speaking on last week

65
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Was Harvey B. Gantt him being the

66
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000

I gave you the first black male now

72
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Let me give you the first black female

73
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Mayor

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

Her name is V. Liles

76
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000

88
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
For four years now here's

89
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000

00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000

102
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Mentality for Statesville city council

Look it up

111
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
I know one of the

112
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
City council

113
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000

Very interested in Miss Watson

116
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
I really want to talk to you

117
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Talk about some issues you know

118
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Like your boy

119
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
That we met through your cousin

120
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
I can't remember his name

121
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
But how he said he used to go

122
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Down and talk and get in front

123
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Of the council boards

124
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And you know speak to it speak to it

125
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
You'll be one of those people sitting up there in one of them

126
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Seats you get what I'm saying

127
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
That would be dope bro

128
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
The way you feel

129
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
And those people that come in

130
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Like you you can hear them

131
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And you can really push it

132
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
That's what I need too

133
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Because I think I got that mentality

134
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
You know I got that voice like

135
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
You say you talk you speak up

136
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
You're not like a

137
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
You're not putting yourself

138
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
You're not doing this for no

139
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
Reason it really affects you

140
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It helps you learn

141
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
It helps you be in front of cameras

142
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
It helps you be in the spotlight

143
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
It helps you do all of that stuff

144
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
That wouldn't be the strain

145
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
The strain would be pushing the agendas

146
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
That need to be pushed

147
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Let me keep reading

148
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
That

149
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Yeah

150
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Councilwoman for four years

151
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Since then she's led the city through

152
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Times both trying and

153
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Triumphant

154
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
That includes strengthening the city's connection

155
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
With the corporate community

156
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
To create more jobs

157
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Helping coordinate citywide response

158
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
To the coronavirus

159
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And most recently

160
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Signing a proclamation

161
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
Declaring racism a public health

162
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Crisis

163
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
Look at that

164
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
See what I'm saying

165
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
The city of Charlotte needs it

166
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
The city of Statesville needs it

167
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Concord needs it

168
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Lake Norman needs it

169
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
All of these

170
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
So when is all this going to affect

171
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
All of this

172
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
What she's done

173
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Is it in effect now?

174
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
All of this stuff

175
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Is solid

176
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Because she dealt with a lot

177
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Situation when the coronavirus came

178
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
And the city

179
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
So how does

180
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Her law affect it?

181
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Which means a public health crisis

182
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
A public health crisis

183
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Because

184
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
I'm saying what does it help

185
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
What does it do actually

186
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
But what I feel especially with the

187
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Case of

188
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
How black people

189
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Can't get certain

190
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Health

191
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Coverages

192
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Things remember Trump took away

193
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Obamacare

194
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
All that stuff went out the window

195
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
That's what she

196
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
That part right there where a lot of

197
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Black folk who don't have insurance

198
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
But see look

199
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
This is the thing I know you're reading

200
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
But I never had an issue with

201
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Black people getting help

202
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Black people getting help

203
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
My issue was

204
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Certain

205
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
Blacks got left out

206
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Middle class I say

207
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
You're making too much

208
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
You don't have kids

209
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
The kids don't live with you

210
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
You know what I'm saying

211
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
You work so it's like

212
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
We don't deserve help either even though

213
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
We're barely making it and we're working

214
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
You get what I'm saying so I wanted

215
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Some laws that would help those

216
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
Like me and I'm in that category

217
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
Like you know people that

218
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Need help too but work also

219
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Get up and make a living and go out and get it

220
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Let me tell you what I think Trump is

221
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
The biggest problem this is the biggest

222
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Thing

223
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
This is the hardest thing

224
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
We get left out man

225
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I'm going to say you feel that

226
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
There's this thing of like

227
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
They're left out but I don't think it is the case

228
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
I'm going to tell you why

229
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
They feel that the average

230
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
They go off of the case

231
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Of the average

232
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Living situation right

233
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
So the average

234
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
The average individual

235
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Is only going to make somewhere

236
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Along the lines of about 30

237
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
To about $50,000 a year right

238
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
So

239
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
Depends on where you at right

240
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
The average person

241
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Really can live

242
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Off of $35,000

243
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
A year

244
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Can I cut in? Yeah

245
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
So if a person

246
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
You just said a person can do that

247
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
So they will make laws

248
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
For example for people that don't make that

249
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Are you know qualified

250
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
For these assistance

251
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Might handicap people

252
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
That can do it

253
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Not to go out there and actually do it

254
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
You know what I'm saying

255
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So they like I'm not going to get a job so I can get this

256
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
Assistance I'm going to have all these kids

257
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And I work so I can get this

258
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Assistance so I qualify

259
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Whatever you just below the guidelines

260
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So you can qualify

261
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
So that's where it's hurting

262
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
You get what I'm saying it's hurting

263
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
You kind of like the system is kind of like being

264
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
Used in because I don't think

265
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
They look at it like that

266
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
The city councils

267
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
They just look at it like helping people

268
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
But in the same breath

269
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
You could be hurting people

270
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Hurt them with their work ethic

271
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Hurt them with their integrity

272
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Hurt them with oh I can actually get up and get a job

273
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
But I'm not going to do it I'm just going to

274
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Rely on handouts

275
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You know what I'm saying

276
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
So that's why I like what about

277
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
The people that's actually out here trying

278
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Maybe they need to focus more on them

279
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
People that's very

280
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Has integrity that gets up

281
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
And go to work and trying

282
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
To be something in life

283
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Trying to become something trying to

284
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
Be better you know what I'm saying

285
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
That's what I was saying

286
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
And that's again

287
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
The opinion that you feel on that

288
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
That's totally fun

289
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
And I could argue that see

290
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
That's totally fun

291
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
For me I feel

292
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
That

293
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
But I get what you saying I feel

294
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
That those who need help

295
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
Genuinely go out to help

296
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
There are some

297
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Who really genuinely need it

298
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
But then yeah there are some

299
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Who ride the system

300
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
And I'm going to get to this

301
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
Is this right

302
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
Because I see you speak on this a lot

303
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
It's okay for somebody

304
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
To ride the system let me tell you why

305
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Because they won't go nowhere

306
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Say it again

307
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
You won't go anywhere

308
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
If you want to do better

309
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
You can do better

310
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
It's up to the individual

311
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Even if a

312
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Person chooses to go have 8 kids

313
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
But think about

314
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
The people they're hurting though

315
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
By doing this like

316
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
The households the families they are

317
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Affecting see that's

318
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
We don't look at it like that when one

319
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
Person does something

320
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
That can affect a lot of people we don't think about

321
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
How it affects the child's father

322
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Or the mother or the kids

323
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Or yeah the first thing the kids

324
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
We don't think about that

325
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
We think about this individual

326
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
That irresponsibly went out

327
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And had these kids and can't take care

328
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Of them and we want to get them

329
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Help we're thinking about them but what about

330
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The other people that's affected by their

331
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Decision making

332
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
I get what you're saying

333
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I'm going to say it

334
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
One more time it's totally

335
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Fine for people to live

336
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
That way if the government

337
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Sees that it's okay for them to live that way

338
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Guess what we're going to have

339
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
To deal with

340
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I mean I got you

341
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I get you

342
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
I get what you're saying though

343
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
You're speaking your point

344
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
I hear your point that people

345
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Of the middle class need help too

346
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
People that are

347
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
I'm including you too

348
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
I hear you

349
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
I'm including you too

350
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
In the case of

351
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
The reason why I say that

352
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
One is due to

353
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The way that they created the laws

354
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The reason why I say they created certain laws

355
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Her law is totally different meaning

356
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
They showing

357
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
She's showing compassion for the whole situation

358
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
Of black people and the black housing

359
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
Everybody is affected by this

360
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
From highest to the lowest

361
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And I love that

362
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
That we're looked at a certain way

363
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
To

364
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
We're not getting certain helps that we need

365
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
Due to us being

366
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
That's what I like

367
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
Due to the coronavirus

368
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
A lot of black people died

369
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
Just because they couldn't afford it

370
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
I know I had

371
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
Corona relief

372
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
You could be out of work

373
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
I caught covid was out two weeks

374
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
I got paid

375
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
It was a thing under corona specifically

376
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
Because it was a situation that was needed

377
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
It was actually needed

378
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
It was a nationwide

379
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Worldwide

380
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And that was a huge situation

381
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
So they had to pay it attention

382
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
They had to give it a certain

383
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Because I could have lost a lot of money around that time

384
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Everybody was bad off

385
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
I got paid, thank god

386
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Everybody was in a bad situation

387
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Because you think about it

388
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Even if you couldn't work

389
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Your job got shut down

390
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
There was a lot of that happening in

391
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
The world, the world closed out

392
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
And they couldn't do

393
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
No work at all

394
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
But then, like I said

395
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Those situations where we can

396
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Change those things though

397
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
We had those seats

398
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
We can go sit in these seats

399
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
We can speak our piece

400
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
If it happens, it happens

401
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
If it doesn't, it doesn't

402
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
But at the end of the day, you got to know

403
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
You got a chance to say it and speak it

404
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Corona made the people lazy

405
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
I'm more than help

406
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I know I got a little lazy

407
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
But I still got my behind up and went to work

408
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It took me a while

409
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
To get back into the groove

410
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Because I was so used to

411
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We had time to think

412
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
We had time to actually

413
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Collect our thoughts

414
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
And really face our issues

415
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Around that time too

416
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Because when you're moving

417
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
You kind of forget

418
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Life and what you're dealing with

419
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I know that's all topic

420
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Oh, it's not all topic

421
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
You're speaking good

422
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
The good thing about all of this man

423
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
Is that

424
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
The city

425
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
The cities and surrounding cities

426
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Of Charlotte

427
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Have suffered

428
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
A great deal

429
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
And a great huge

430
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
In many ways

431
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Just due to a lot of the people

432
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
That are considerably at the bottom

433
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
Not speaking up

434
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
And doing things to make

435
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
A better situation

436
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yes, a lot of the problems are

437
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
In the lower class

438
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
In the lower class, excuse me

439
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
In the lower class

440
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Due to the case of

441
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
Money is a problem

442
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
To me

443
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
That's a

444
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Crisis that a lot of people

445
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Go through from middle class

446
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Down

447
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
To money

448
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
In one situation

449
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
I've heard people be like

450
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Well, you know man

451
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
As a black man

452
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Or as a black woman

453
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
We struggle for this and we struggle for that

454
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Think about it like this

455
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
If you have that

456
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Struggle, take that

457
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
Struggle, make sure it's unique though

458
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
Make sure it's a struggle

459
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
That nobody, make sure it's

460
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
Something that somebody is dealing with

461
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
A whole lot of people aren't dealing with it

462
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And take it to the city

463
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
And give it to them

464
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
So you don't think Trump was trying to help the black race?

465
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
I don't know

466
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I'm going to be honest with you

467
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
I'm not talking about no other thing but money

468
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
I'm thinking he was

469
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
Trying to help everybody

470
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
To me

471
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
It wasn't like he was just looking out for his race

472
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
To me

473
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Some may feel like he was

474
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Can I say this?

475
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Trump was hanging around

476
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Bobby Browns, Mike Tyson

477
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
Mike Tyson is even on public record

478
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
Saying

479
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Donald was a real one

480
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Why is it

481
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office?

482
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Because

483
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office

484
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
So, to me

485
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
I don't think it's really

486
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
A thing of

487
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
You get what I'm saying?

488
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
I'm going to tell you what I think

489
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
It's a thing of status

490
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
To people who are on his level

491
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
And who make him look good

492
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
You got to think about

493
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
Trump Towers

494
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
And Mike

495
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Fighting

496
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Was

497
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
Both of them making money out of this

498
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
Did he was hanging with them?

499
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
All kinds of people

500
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
If you got the money

501
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
To me it's a thing of status

502
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
If you have money

503
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
To put all of these

504
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Out of jail

505
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I have the black people out of jail

506
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And probably majority of them he knew

507
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Ran on the streets with

508
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I ain't see

509
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Obama

510
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Doing none of that

511
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
I'm just being real

512
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
I'm saying

513
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
We can't sit here and say

514
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
He hasn't done some things

515
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
To help

516
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
Not just the white community

517
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
He does what he can

518
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
For a certain amount of people

519
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Again

520
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
I still see he

521
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
If it's a thing of he wants to help

522
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Everybody

523
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
Even the lower class

524
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
There are certain parts of the lower class

525
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
That he did overlook

526
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Go back to

527
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
What we were talking about

528
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Like

529
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
Maybe he's seen

530
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
You see

531
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
You see how

532
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Your mindset can be

533
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
With a mindset like mine

534
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
But I would never go into it like that

535
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaking from existence

536
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
Me being middle class

537
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Like I say me getting up

538
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Blue collar working everyday

539
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Seeing somebody that's not working

540
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I'm trying personally knowing somebody

541
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
That just don't want to work

542
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Seeing them get

543
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
All this assistance and help

544
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
When I get in a position

545
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
You know what I'm saying

546
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
I might take some of that anger

547
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
That I had towards that person

548
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
And some of that might be used on some of my decision making

549
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Like you know

550
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
I seen people cheat the system

551
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
I seen people

552
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
You know what I'm saying

553
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
Like he did about the border thing

554
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Like a lot of people that was coming from

555
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Over the border

556
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
A lot of crimes was happening

557
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
When they started allowing it

558
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Which came out to be true

559
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
It's a lot of things

560
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
That he was doing that made sense

561
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
And I think a lot of that happens

562
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
When you experience it

563
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
And he was a president

564
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Before a president he was a person

565
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
He was out there with these people

566
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
The criminals, the thugs, the good people

567
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So he was

568
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
You can't say he wasn't in that

569
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
He was around that

570
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Obama wasn't

571
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
I can't say he was around

572
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
This or that

573
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
I'm going to tell you what the biggest problem is

574
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
With what you just said

575
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
What?

576
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Look at the color of the skins here

577
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
Right?

578
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
A lot of people

579
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Didn't want a

580
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
Black man in that seat

581
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
That started off with that

582
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
It's a different story

583
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
A lot of people wanted Trump in that seat

584
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
But they didn't want

585
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Obama in that seat

586
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Obama had to go a different

587
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Angle than Trump

588
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Trump has a total

589
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
Different acceptance

590
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
People of acceptance

591
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Than Obama's people of acceptance

592
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
He got a wider people to pick from

593
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
That's going to help him

594
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
I can go get anybody out

595
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Out of jail

596
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
That's prison? That's easy

597
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
What if it was Obama vs. Hillary?

598
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Let's switch the role

599
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
You think Obama would've won?

600
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Obama vs. Hillary?

601
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,000
That makes you think

602
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Obama

603
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Because

604
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat

605
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
People didn't want a woman in that seat

606
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
You get why I'm saying

607
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
I can take it so many ways

608
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
That's the situation you're giving

609
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Like you just spoke on it

610
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Trump is going to be

611
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Giving a lot more leeway

612
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Because of who he is

613
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
I think he ran at the right time

614
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
He didn't want a woman

615
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It ain't race involved

616
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
It was woman vs. man

617
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Who do we prefer more

618
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
In the seat?

619
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
To me

620
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
I'm going to be honest with you

621
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
This is the part I don't like about Trump

622
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
Trump is not honest

623
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
He's not honest?

624
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
That's the only thing that hurts him

625
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
What president

626
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
You know that's completely honest

627
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
It's not a thing of saying

628
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
I know

629
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
Let's speak on Trump

630
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
Before we speak on any other situation

631
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Anything with politics

632
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Is always going to be questionable

633
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
It don't matter who you speak

634
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
We ain't even talking about presidents

635
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
We talking about people above presidency

636
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And below presidency

637
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
It's a political thing

638
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
You're going to have to deal with people

639
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It's going to be an untrustworthy situation

640
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
But I'm just giving you in the case of saying

641
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
If you're going to speak on something

642
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
Especially being in their presidency

643
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
How people felt like

644
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
Biden was forgiving

645
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Loans, student loans

646
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
And a lot of people still

647
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Dealing and struggling with student loans

648
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
So that

649
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
So I could

650
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
Call him out in the situation too

651
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
But to me

652
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
I'm going to say it like this

653
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
You have to help everybody

654
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
No matter what

655
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
To me I feel like

656
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Trump has a lane to

657
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
To

658
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
People who money

659
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
If you got money

660
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
You on Trump's page

661
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
Trump don't like somebody that

662
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
Or if you trying to make some money

663
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
If you trying to make some money

664
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
If you want to learn something

665
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
If you want opportunity

666
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
He going to give you this opportunity

667
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
I feel

668
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
What you do with it is up to you

669
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That's what kind of president he is

670
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
On the character of the person

671
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
That's why I think a lot of people

672
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
Don't like that kind of government

673
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
They don't want somebody to just be like

674
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
I'm not going to give you

675
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Free food

676
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
But I am going to give you this

677
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Here's the opportunity

678
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
You sign up for this and you do this

679
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
And you will get that

680
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
People don't want to work for it

681
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
That's the thing

682
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The democrats will just hand it to you

683
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
They will just give it to you

684
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Okay I'm going to give you this

685
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
But you have to do this

686
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
This step right here

687
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
You have to show you want it

688
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
A little bit

689
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
And then I give it to you

690
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
I'm going to have to defer

691
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Republicans have given more money

692
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Republicans have given more money

693
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
To Americans

694
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Than the democrats

695
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
I'm talking about the lower class

696
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Or the middle class

697
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
Look how much Trump gave it to you

698
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
That's what you want right

699
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Somebody to look out for everybody

700
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
You just said

701
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
That democrats just give away

702
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
To the lower class

703
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
To the lower class

704
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
They look out for the lower class

705
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
They look more out for the lower class

706
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
And like you say you supposed to look out for everybody

707
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
But people are left out

708
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
So in the case of that

709
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
Like you just said

710
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
That's the point of what I'm saying

711
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
So if you got somebody like Trump in office

712
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
You cannot take away

713
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Things that people need

714
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
People needed health insurance

715
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
He screwed a lot of people

716
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
He screwed a lot of people

717
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation

718
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
With the way he switched up the whole situation

719
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Of how healthcare went

720
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
Which is why people like

721
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I was speaking on

722
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Vilaos takes the situation

723
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
And there's a situation where there is

724
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
It's like a racial turn

725
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
On certain situations

726
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
When it came to

727
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
The situation of COVID right

728
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
The reason why

729
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
It's like

730
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It's like Trump knew that people were

731
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Going to need

732
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
This vaccine shot

733
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
He started taking away

734
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
All these health situations

735
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Where people could get healthcare

736
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
And simple healthcare

737
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
And put this roadblock up and then all of a sudden

738
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Coronavirus shows up

739
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
Then all these people die

740
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Look how many people died

741
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Due to Coronavirus

742
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
Listen

743
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
I ain't signing with nobody man

744
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
But listen though

745
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Listen though

746
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
I see his

747
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
I see what he's trying to do

748
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
I see what he's trying to do

749
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
He's trying to get people

750
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
To not be so

751
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Reluctant on the system

752
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
People to be so dependent on the system

753
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
And the government

754
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
To get that

755
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
That's what we need

756
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I'm talking

757
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
I'm speaking from a man that

758
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
That goes out and have to get it

759
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
The government ain't gave me ish

760
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
Like you know what I'm saying

761
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
Stimulus check I will give him that

762
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
He gave me the stimulus check and that was the biggest blessing

763
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
A lot of people asleep on that

764
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
But that helped me a lot because

765
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Bruh that stimulus money

766
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Started me out in my savings account

767
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
To be honest like before that

768
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
I started saving like that for real

769
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
That 300

770
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
Something whatever

771
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
Motivated me to stack up

772
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
And ever since that's my turning point bro

773
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
When my account really hit

774
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Started being effective is when I got that

775
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
Stimulus check and after that my mind set

776
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Changed because when you see that in your account

777
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
It motivates you even more

778
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Now I'm going to stack this up I'm going to save this

779
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
I'm not going to touch it

780
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
I'm putting like 200 out my check

781
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Every check into my savings

782
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
A lot of people asleep on it

783
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
That helped a lot

784
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
That stimulus helped a lot

785
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
You know what I'm saying

786
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
He's done some good things now

787
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
I ain't sitting here promoting nobody

788
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
But I'm just saying we talking about government

789
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
And that kind of was a touchy subject

790
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Because a lot of people would

791
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Just say he's racist like come on man

792
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
He was around black folks

793
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
All the time like how do we know

794
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
He's racist or not

795
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
That's always

796
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Going to be the case though

797
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Black folk could be racist against his own kind

798
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Or white could be racist

799
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Again if you're going to be

800
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
All out about it be all out about it

801
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Don't give traits

802
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
And then not go all

803
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Away with it you know that's the only thing

804
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
Of course being in that seat he has to

805
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
There's a certain line of respect that he

806
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Has to show so again

807
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
We won't ever know I'm not going to see him pointed out

808
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
To say that he's racist or not

809
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
But there are a lot of

810
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
People who are like him

811
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
That show tendencies

812
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
And you know

813
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
It's a lot to take in

814
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
In the US now

815
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
And especially like I said

816
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
The reason why I talk about these people is Charlotte

817
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
You know V. Lous is the one

818
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
We basically went into today

819
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
You know like with her

820
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
You get in, you get in these seats

821
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Get a seat

822
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Go in

823
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Go in with a mentality

824
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
Go help us out

825
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Help everybody like you said I like that

826
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Help everybody

827
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
Help us out

828
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
I never said it was a problem

829
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Helping everybody bro

830
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I was saying how

831
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Like people like me and you will feel

832
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
You see how we feel left out when

833
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Democrats look out for lower class

834
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
People or people that don't work or try to work

835
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Right you see how that feel

836
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
They're not looking out for everybody

837
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
And they said what she did look she looked out

838
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
For everybody

839
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
That's why I'm arguing and saying

840
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
I have an issue I will bring this up

841
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
Look out for everybody

842
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
You know what I'm saying I wouldn't have a problem

843
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
You wouldn't hear me complaining if everything

844
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Applied to everybody

845
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Don't just make it applicable for one person

846
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Like why we all can't have

847
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Why it gotta be all these qualifications

848
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
For government housing

849
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
You know what I'm saying

850
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Like everybody can't have

851
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Need help getting a place

852
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
Somewhere like

853
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Why it gotta be all these stipulations

854
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
You know what I'm saying like make it

855
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
For the people

856
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
That's all I'm saying

857
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
That's all I'm saying bro

858
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
It's a wide range of things

859
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
To do

860
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
That we have to

861
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
Need to take action

862
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
To fix

863
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
It's ugly now

864
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
That's the only thing

865
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
That's the only thing that concerns me

866
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
That's why I want to talk about

867
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
People of the past and people who

868
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
Do things and sit in seats

869
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
That

870
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
That

871
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Especially in our city

872
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Trying to help everybody

873
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
I would love to talk to V. Liles if that was the case

874
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
I would love to talk to Harvey Gantt

875
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
You see what she brought up

876
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
To rub shoulders and

877
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Mindsets and

878
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
Hear what

879
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
People think about

880
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
What people they've heard

881
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
What they came up with

882
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
How did they grow up?

883
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
What did you have when you grew up?

884
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
What things did you see that were wrong then?

885
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
It's your mindset like my mindset

886
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
How you feel about this situation

887
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
How do you see it now?

888
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Does it make sense to you now?

889
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
How much have things changed since you were young?

890
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
What do you think

891
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Is going to be in the next 10 years?

892
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Those are the only kind of people I think

893
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
That we need to bring on this show

894
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
It's got to be people

895
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
That's done some things

896
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
It can't just be

897
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
No disrespect

898
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
But it's got to be somebody

899
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
That's attainable

900
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And reachable

901
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
It can work

902
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
At Workable Budget

903
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
We come up with that together

904
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
I'm willing to do that

905
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
We need those kind of people

906
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
On here to speak

907
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
And educate it

908
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
They lived it

909
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And they can actually tell us

910
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
Which is why I talk

911
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Very openly

912
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Trying to get into these topics

913
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Because

914
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
We need to know where we're going

915
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
All we know where we're going

916
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Is that we have to know where we came from

917
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
What the situation was

918
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
And I think that

919
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Plays a lot on our history

920
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Finding it

921
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
We got to dig it up

922
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
We got to be lazy

923
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
And just trying to go out the lane

924
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Of just being given the same old boring topics

925
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
That everybody always talk about

926
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
What's the use of talking to all these rappers

927
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
What's the use of talking to all these

928
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
High dollar celebs

929
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
What are we going to gain from it?

930
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
They're not giving us gain

931
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
They just got out this episode

932
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
My concerns of the world

933
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
And how I think it's effective

934
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And not effective

935
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
You got to CQ the

936
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Business

937
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
What you call it

938
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Political Q

939
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
You know what I'm saying?

940
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
Political Q

941
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
It's a lot to learn

942
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
Still so much to learn

943
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
So many changes that can be done and made

944
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
The city is getting bigger and bigger

945
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
The cities around us are getting bigger and bigger

946
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
A lot of these cities are going to touch in a minute

947
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
That's a good thing

948
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Especially North Carolina

949
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Especially once you hit

950
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Once you hit

951
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
The location

952
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
South Carolina is a nice spot

953
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000
That's the middle of it

954
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Anything within an hour

955
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Charlotte, you're doing pretty good

956
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
Either way you go

957
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
If you're going 85 South, 85 North

958
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
77 South, 75 North

959
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Anything within an hour

960
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
That right there, I think all of this stuff

961
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
Is eventually going to sink in

962
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
And we're all going to get it

963
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
And when I talk about location

964
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
I know this is all topic

965
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
You have people coming from all over

966
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
To those spots

967
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
And a lot of people

968
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
Might be business savvy

969
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
Business minded

970
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Like money

971
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
They only have money that they can

972
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Invest into these places

973
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Buildings and stuff like that

974
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
When you think about little old Statesville

975
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
Where I'm from, like you say, that's on the outer

976
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
So nobody is really

977
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Moving to Statesville

978
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Somebody that could

979
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Impactfully influence the

980
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
City in a positive way

981
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
So that's what I feel

982
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
Is wrong with my city

983
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
It's too far out

984
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
And nobody is thinking about

985
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Let me make Statesville home

986
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
I haven't heard nobody say that

987
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
No disrespect

988
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
And then you have the same

989
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
People with the same mentality

990
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Where is the growth going to come?

991
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
It's a city that's dying

992
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
People are dying, people are hungry

993
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Starving, you know what I'm saying

994
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,000
Hopeless mentally

995
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Feel like there's no hope

996
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Giving up because they don't have

997
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
No hope from

998
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
A person or

999
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
A job or

1000
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Buildings or just things to do

1001
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
All this affects it

1002
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
So

1003
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
That's another

1004
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Opportunity

1005
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Of things

1006
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
To

1007
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Think about too

1008
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
In the future

1009
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
And this is me

1010
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,000
There's a fit for everybody

1011
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
You can't say nobody would move

1012
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
To this area because there are people

1013
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
Living there

1014
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
So even like I said, when I moved to Norah

1015
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Keel, nobody was moving to Norah Keel

1016
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
That wasn't a cool thing to do

1017
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They're like, why are you moving out of Charlotte?

1018
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Because I want to

1019
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
To me, I mean you can live in Statesville

1020
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
To Charlotte to come to work

1021
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
That ain't far

1022
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
I know people driving from Columbia, South Carolina

1023
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
To Charlotte every single day

1024
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
Back and forth, every day

1025
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
So I can get a house in Charlotte

1026
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
South Carolina and

1027
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Drive to Charlotte

1028
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000
It's not a problem to get a job in Charlotte

1029
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
I did it, I lived in Rock Hill

1030
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,000
And drove to Charlotte every evening

1031
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
To go to work

1032
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Every evening

1033
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
From 2011 all the way up to

1034
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
2021

1035
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Yeah

1036
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
2021

1037
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
And you know what, my mom always say

1038
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000
Like, the job

1039
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Get you a job that's close to

1040
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
That's why my mom said it was always like that

1041
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Get a job that's in your city

1042
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
And you know

1043
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,000
That's a lot of miles on your car

1044
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,000
That's a lot of miles

1045
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Quote on quote

1046
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
That's a lot of miles on your car

1047
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
But now I think about it, the best jobs are probably

1048
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
A couple miles away from you

1049
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000
You know what I'm saying, 30 minutes

1050
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,000
20, some of the best jobs

1051
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
I've had have been me hitting

1052
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
That I-10, by-10

1053
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
You know what I'm saying

1054
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Those are some of the best jobs

1055
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Come on down

1056
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's plenty jobs

1057
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,000
It's plenty jobs to

1058
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Put in

1059
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
The faces of people

1060
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,000
You just gotta go to them sometimes

1061
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
There's nothing wrong going to the money, you gotta drive to the money

1062
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
You gotta put miles on your car

1063
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
You gotta put miles on your car

1064
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000
A car can go down on you in 100 miles

1065
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
A car can go down on you in 500,000 miles

1066
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,000
It doesn't switch the situation

1067
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,000
A car is going to be a car

1068
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,000
It's man-made, you don't know when it's going to hit the desk

1069
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,000
It's material

1070
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,000
It's man-made

1071
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
It's objection is to what?

1072
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Get you where you need to go

1073
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,000
That's another topic

1074
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,000
That's a whole other topic

1075
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
That's a whole other topic

1076
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
Right there

1077
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
But again, Charlotte

1078
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Let's shout out V. Liles

1079
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
V. Liles is the truth

1080
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Our first black female

1081
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
I'm glad you read that

1082
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
If you didn't get last week

1083
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
I did

1084
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
To choose to talk about Harvey B. Gantt

1085
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
The first black man

1086
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
That's the first black mayor

1087
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
Of Charlotte, North Carolina

1088
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So again

1089
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,000
We are definitely here

1090
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
We've been here

1091
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
We've been working within the city

1092
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,000
For years

1093
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,000
And we're finally getting those chances to get those seats

1094
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,000
So shout out to them

1095
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,000
For giving us the opportunity to do this type of stuff

1096
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
Like I said

1097
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,000
Giving opportunities for other people to say

1098
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Hey, I'm going to do that

1099
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
I want to get into the city and try to make a difference

1100
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Again, I need to get my boy Gary in here though

1101
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Gary, I need to get you in here

1102
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
If nothing else

1103
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,000
I can come to you

1104
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,000
Or whatever it is bro

1105
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Sit down and have a conversation about

1106
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Things that can help improve the city

1107
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,000
That a lot of people don't know

1108
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And again, I'm seeing you being the mayor one of these days too bro

1109
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
So stay tuned

1110
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
I'm hitting up my mayor right now

1111
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
So I did

1112
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Stay tuned

1113
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Continue

1114
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:34,000
