- 0:11Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 0:15Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 0:19Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
- 0:23Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 0:28Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 0:31Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
- 0:35Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
- 0:39Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
- 0:43Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
- 0:46Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 0:55Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
- 0:57Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Who runs campaigns. They are largely white consultants. They control
- 1:07Speaker 3: the money, they control the narrative. So what we're talking
- 1:11Speaker 3: about this battle the black folks are having the same battle.
- 1:14Speaker 3: The black posters. The black consultants have an exact same battle.
- 1:19Speaker 3: So you have so let me tell how the money
- 1:22Speaker 3: game works. The white consultants will go, yeah, we ain't
- 1:25Speaker 3: gonna put money in ground game. You're gonna put the
- 1:27Speaker 3: money in TV. Well, hell, you can buy all the TV,
- 1:31Speaker 3: but the ground ain't need people to come out. Why
- 1:33Speaker 3: do they say that because the white media consultant gets
- 1:36Speaker 3: paid the percentage of the TV buys.
- 1:41Speaker 4: They don't get paid for the ground game the money.
- 1:45Speaker 3: So here's a deal and a white consultant, they lose
- 1:48Speaker 3: a listen, all right, they gonna run another campaign.
- 1:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 3: So when you hear me demanding black consultants, black posters,
- 1:59Speaker 3: black strategist, that's also saying I wanted what the money is. See,
- 2:05Speaker 3: that's the thing. It's understanding. It's it's just just the system.
- 2:09Speaker 3: How this whole system works. And so when you understand,
- 2:12Speaker 3: that's gonna like, Oh, I see the game y'all playing.
- 2:14Speaker 3: Oh so y'all want to come to me. I got
- 2:17Speaker 3: a phone call today, Bro, it's the same thing. Hey man,
- 2:21Speaker 3: we reached out. You didn't cover this event. No, I said,
- 2:26Speaker 3: y'all value my eyeballs to bring your show talent on,
- 2:33Speaker 3: but your advertising folk never call so you I'm valuable,
- 2:38Speaker 3: my artist is valuable, but not for your advertising money.
- 2:42Speaker 3: So guess what, Rollin ain't covering your damn event? No
- 2:46Speaker 3: sorry Stars, sorry, Netflix, sorry Hulu, sorry Prime Video, sorry
- 2:53Speaker 3: own sartain HBO Showtime. If y'all ain't spending advertising money
- 3:00Speaker 3: not putting the celebrities on, because again, you value my
- 3:05Speaker 3: eyeballs but not enough to pay me. So we have
- 3:10Speaker 3: to now understand that black people are fighting the battles
- 3:13Speaker 3: on the inside with the consultants, and we gotta be
- 3:16Speaker 3: willing to say, uh, I'm look, I'm gonna tell y'all
- 3:19Speaker 3: straight up, this is twenty twenty. Biden campaign called me brother,
- 3:24Speaker 3: told my advertising people, he said, you know, I can
- 3:27Speaker 3: give twenty thousand dollars to five black newspapers.
- 3:30Speaker 4: And they happy. I said, well, hell, I ain't them.
- 3:34Speaker 4: They can't. They can't. I'm telling y'all straight up, I'm
- 3:37Speaker 4: telling you.
- 3:37Speaker 3: They came back to me and they was like they
- 3:39Speaker 3: were looking to my ad got it, said all right,
- 3:41Speaker 3: we got one hundred. We went Nope. They came back
- 3:45Speaker 3: and they said, all right, fine we got two hundred. Nope,
- 3:51Speaker 3: all right, three hundred is the final number. Now that's
- 3:54Speaker 3: for advertising. I didn't respond for two weeks. They said, bro,
- 4:00Speaker 3: this is the final So I told my guy accepted.
- 4:03Speaker 3: Then I blasted them on the show.
- 4:07Speaker 4: They called men, what you're doing? I said, motherfucker. I
- 4:11Speaker 4: asked for two million. That's it. That's it.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Y'all thought I was gonna be happy.
- 4:21Speaker 5: Yeah, three hundred thousand crumb, That's what I'm saying. So
- 4:24Speaker 5: it's like, take the crumb. Because in the past it
- 4:27Speaker 5: was like, hey, we'll pass this on to and I
- 4:29Speaker 5: know you sent the article Senator Jet Senate to Ebony
- 4:32Speaker 5: Senate to essence.
- 4:33Speaker 6: Those publiclations don't mean the same to this generation.
- 4:36Speaker 5: So that's why I feel like, are they aware of
- 4:38Speaker 5: the way to get to the audience?
- 4:40Speaker 4: Well, he's it because they died.
- 4:42Speaker 3: And one of the reasons that they have they have
- 4:44Speaker 3: fallen is because they didn't get the advertising money. My
- 4:47Speaker 3: boy time Brian will break it down. He ran, he
- 4:49Speaker 3: ran the advertising of Ebony. Ebony was getting twenty thousand
- 4:53Speaker 3: dollars for a full page and when I was getting
- 4:55Speaker 3: two undred.
- 4:56Speaker 4: Thousands, Ebony was this wire. No, I'm telling you.
- 5:00Speaker 3: Read Brett Pulley's book The Billion Dollar Bet the unauthorized
- 5:04Speaker 3: biograph for Bob Johnson and Beet. In the book, Brett
- 5:07Speaker 3: Pulley writes, when Viacom bought Beet, they discovered that BET
- 5:12Speaker 3: was getting fifteen hundred dollars for a thirty second for
- 5:15Speaker 3: an AD and the same ad MTV was getting for
- 5:19Speaker 3: eight thousand.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Let me blow y'all away. So do the math.
- 5:22Speaker 3: Fifteen hundred and eight thousand. That's a sixty five hundred
- 5:26Speaker 3: dollars difference. Now, imagine if Bob Johnson and Sheila Johnson
- 5:31Speaker 3: had been getting fair market value from day one. That
- 5:35Speaker 3: means that BET sold for two point four billion plus
- 5:39Speaker 3: four hundred million dollars in debt as two point eight billion.
- 5:42Speaker 3: If they had been getting fair market value, BET could
- 5:45Speaker 3: have actually been worth six billion dollars, and Bob and
- 5:51Speaker 3: Sheila could have sold a third of BEET for two
- 5:55Speaker 3: point eight billion dollars and still owned it if they
- 5:59Speaker 3: had been fair market value. So what we as black
- 6:02Speaker 3: folks have to do? And this is how I view voting.
- 6:05Speaker 3: You need my vote, You got to do something. I
- 6:09Speaker 3: want to know who you're spending with. Man, there was
- 6:13Speaker 3: a black media thing last year that you had Senate
- 6:15Speaker 3: in July. I sat there, Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Amy Klobashard,
- 6:20Speaker 3: Senator Warnot, Senator Booker by twenty of them, everybody asking
- 6:24Speaker 3: regular questions.
- 6:25Speaker 4: I came there with money questions.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Person pulled me aside another journalist's role, and that was
- 6:30Speaker 3: that wasn't this is not the right venue? I said,
- 6:33Speaker 3: excuse me. You are an employee of your company. I
- 6:38Speaker 3: am a founder.
- 6:39Speaker 4: Do you you don't ask the questions I ask?
- 6:43Speaker 3: I said, if they gonna talk about economics and black businesses,
- 6:47Speaker 3: well I'm gonna bring up black on media company. And
- 6:49Speaker 3: I sat there and told Senator Chuck Schumer, I said,
- 6:52Speaker 3: was there an increase in spending with black on media
- 6:55Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two midterm elections? Pat twenty twenty, They
- 6:58Speaker 3: claimed it was. I said, I want to either data.
- 7:00Speaker 3: I'm still waiting. I asked them and told them I
- 7:03Speaker 3: have three. I said, I want a Senate hearing on
- 7:06Speaker 3: white ad agency discriminating against black on media companies. See
- 7:11Speaker 3: this again, we have to understand power. Guess what you
- 7:16Speaker 3: need our votes. So when I'm saying who you're paying,
- 7:20Speaker 3: who you're cutting money with the body cap twenty twenty twenty,
- 7:24Speaker 3: I remember the press release a historic investment was two
- 7:28Speaker 3: hundred and eighty million dollar ad buy six million they
- 7:31Speaker 3: said went to black media. First of all, when you
- 7:34Speaker 3: hear the phrase black media, step back and go stop
- 7:37Speaker 3: black targeted.
- 7:38Speaker 4: Or black owned.
- 7:40Speaker 3: When I opened the press release, I looked at who
- 7:43Speaker 3: do they mentioned. I saw I Heeart Radio, Black Information Network,
- 7:48Speaker 3: I saw Urban One, I saw Blavity, Then I saw Complex.
- 7:52Speaker 4: Here's the people didn't understand. People don't understand.
- 7:56Speaker 3: In the digital space, Complex so called has the largest
- 8:00Speaker 3: black footprint.
- 8:02Speaker 4: Y'all ain't hearing me? Complex who owns Complex? Busfeed?
- 8:07Speaker 3: So Complex is pulling black money to target black people,
- 8:12Speaker 3: and that's going to Complex, and that's funding BuzzFeed investors.
- 8:16Speaker 4: They ain't going to black own.
- 8:18Speaker 3: When money comes to rolling through Black Star Network, it's
- 8:21Speaker 3: going to my black producer, black booker, black director, black videographers,
- 8:27Speaker 3: black engineers. That's whe the money going to. It's going
- 8:29Speaker 3: to black people. See, this is how we have to
- 8:33Speaker 3: understand how we use our power. So I've made it clear,
- 8:36Speaker 3: don't come to me small And I made a clip
- 8:38Speaker 3: to the Biden campaign, But in fact, Joe said yesterday's
- 8:40Speaker 3: price and today's price, don't come to me in twenty
- 8:43Speaker 3: twenty four, thinking you're gonna pay three hundred. My artist
- 8:48Speaker 3: has gotten larger. We're bigger, so no small money not
- 8:53Speaker 3: gonna happen. This is what I'm saying. So the person
- 8:56Speaker 3: who's going rolling, I ain't you guess what when you
- 9:00Speaker 3: say I'm bringing ten or twenty of my friends and
- 9:02Speaker 3: we coming to this skitty council meeting, and I want
- 9:04Speaker 3: to meet with you counseling and so on and so,

- 9:13Speaker 3: I want to see step up police protection, but they
- 9:15Speaker 3: protect people in our community. I want to see our
- 9:17Speaker 3: parks refurbished, y'all. I lived this when I was seven, eight, nine, ten, twelve.
- 9:23Speaker 3: I testified for the Houston City Council when they were
- 9:26Speaker 3: gonna cut the pool hours. I testified when I was fifteen.
- 9:30Speaker 3: So what I'm telling y'all ain't all. I'm just a
- 9:33Speaker 3: degree brother just spouting. I lived it because I saw
- 9:37Speaker 3: my mama and my daddy high school graduates give a

- 23:23Speaker 3: know all we got is seventy five hundred for the wedding.
- 23:26Speaker 3: Why you didn't bring your ass in here and tell

- 23:33Speaker 3: and you want everything.
- 23:34Speaker 4: In the world and come to twenty five thousand dollars.
- 23:36Speaker 3: So when companies come to me, they now, now we
- 23:39Speaker 3: ain't doing all that.
- 23:40Speaker 4: What's your budget? What's your budget? And what do you
- 23:44Speaker 4: want to do?
- 23:45Speaker 3: A one week, one day, one week a month, three months,
- 23:50Speaker 3: six month, twelve month deal?
- 23:51Speaker 4: What do you want to do?
- 23:52Speaker 3: Cause I'm not about to waste my time putting the
- 23:55Speaker 3: whole proposal together. That's five seven hundred thousand, and they go, oh,
- 23:59Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Roland, all we have is fifty. Now you
- 24:02Speaker 3: gonna tell me fifty up front, so I know I'm
- 24:04Speaker 3: not wasting my damn time. I know somebody might be saying, damn, bro,
- 24:07Speaker 3: you real hardcore, but I washed that because you know
- 24:10Speaker 3: what the downstream was with my grandmother, she couldn't pay
- 24:12Speaker 3: my daddy what he was worth to cook.
- 24:14Speaker 4: He was the chef.
- 24:16Speaker 3: She couldn't pay us the worth when it comes to
- 24:18Speaker 3: setting stuff up. Brother, I got fifty dollars my granted
- 24:22Speaker 3: when you're ten years old. Shit, fifty dollars a lot,
- 24:25Speaker 3: do you understand? Then my brother would go to my
- 24:27Speaker 3: grandmother's house Monday through Friday preparing for the Saturday wedding.
- 24:30Speaker 3: And then we were up at six o'clock in the
- 24:31Speaker 3: morning going to my grandmother's house to pack the van.
- 24:34Speaker 3: And then we would get in that van and go
- 24:36Speaker 3: to the church and set the church up and set
- 24:38Speaker 3: the reception up, and then the people would be there
- 24:40Speaker 3: till eight and nine o'clock. And then we would then
- 24:42Speaker 3: come back home and sit here and unload that stuff,
- 24:45Speaker 3: and then on Monday come right back and wash those dishes,
- 24:48Speaker 3: get everything for the next.
- 24:49Speaker 4: Dog on wedding. That was cause I made fifty dollars.
- 24:52Speaker 3: But if my grandmother was charging them right, my grandmother
- 24:54Speaker 3: could have paid me two fifty. And that's why my
- 24:57Speaker 3: deal of the day is, you ain't playing me small. No,
- 25:00Speaker 3: you're not playing me small because I can't pay my videographer.
- 25:03Speaker 4: I can't pay my producer. I can't pay my rent,

- 25:17Speaker 4: just why I roll away.
- 25:18Speaker 2: I roll bro, that's just you, or for a premium.

- 26:11Speaker 3: everybody watching it on the stand. Company coming to you
- 26:14Speaker 3: and they go, we got two hundred and fifty thousand
- 26:16Speaker 3: for you in advertising. Then they go, but we need
- 26:19Speaker 3: you to get twelve million impressions. You ain't getting two
- 26:23Speaker 3: million impressions. Now the networks, if they don't hit the number,
- 26:28Speaker 3: they go, oh, we do some make goods, but see
- 26:30Speaker 3: they want to hit us from make goods. So you
- 26:33Speaker 3: thought you're gonna get two fifty, but then you only
- 26:35Speaker 3: gonna do two million impressions, so they gonna pay you
- 26:37Speaker 3: on the two million impressions. So you thought you were
- 26:39Speaker 3: getting two fifty. Now you only getting fifteen. So you
- 26:43Speaker 3: were budgeting at two fifty. So when they come in
- 26:46Speaker 3: with that, I tell them, no, Na, we ain't doing that.
- 26:48Speaker 3: I said, I know that game. See game recognized game.
- 26:52Speaker 3: And when you recognize the game, and when you sit

- 27:44Speaker 3: They wanted me to say, of the two hundred thousand
- 27:46Speaker 3: dollars proposal, seventy five thousand is for the ads.

- 28:08Speaker 3: value if I went a la carte. It's really five
- 28:12Speaker 3: hundred thousand, but if you commit to the three fifty,
- 28:17Speaker 3: I'll give you all of this. I mean, it's it's
- 28:20Speaker 3: called look business, do two for one three for one.
