2:15
[SPEAKER_04]: So welcome to another episode of Inside the Vault of Ashcast.
2:19
[SPEAKER_04]: The greatest money mindset showing a plan that today's guest is somebody who understands leadership, pressure, and what it means to carry the expectations of an entire community on your back from local government to national headlines.
2:33
[SPEAKER_04]: She became one of the most talked about political figures in the country, not because she played it safe, but because she moved with ambition, confidence, and vision.
2:43
[SPEAKER_04]: She was the mayor of Dalton, Illinois, a public service entrepreneur and leader who spent years navigating the intersection of politics, economics, community development and power, whether people agree with her or not, one thing is undeniable.
3:00
[SPEAKER_04]: Tiffany Henyard knows how to command attention and leave conversations and keep people talking today.
3:08
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to be on the headlines to talk about leadership, legacy, economic empowerment and what it really tastes to leave on the pressure in today's world.
3:17
[SPEAKER_04]: This conversation is about influence, resilience and the realities of public leadership when a spotlight never turns off.
3:24
[SPEAKER_04]: stay locked in until the end because this episode is going to challenge the way you think about power, perception, and purpose, ladies and gentlemen, the Tiffany, and y'all, I am doing good.
3:39
[SPEAKER_04]: I appreciate you.
3:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you so much.
3:40
[SPEAKER_04]: So I would jump right in, right?
3:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Because, um,
3:44
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, there's a lot going on, right?
3:46
[SPEAKER_04]: There is a dismantling of the voting voting rights.
3:52
[SPEAKER_04]: That's happening currently as we speak.
3:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't have, I don't know what's happening.
3:58
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know what's going on.
3:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Jerry Mandarin redistricting all of the other stuff.
4:03
[SPEAKER_04]: So I wouldn't talk about that.
4:04
[SPEAKER_04]: I know that you are currently running for commissioner.
4:09
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, in Fulton County in Atlanta, so when we're talking about talking about that, I think more importantly, I want to talk about how this politics affect our pockets, the bottom line of it, right?
4:23
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm going to be 100% honest, like, I know this exchange Trump took office, I want to say it probably started with Obama that once Obama took office,
4:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Maybe the second term, I mean, we sort of the Tea Party was kind of getting a little crazy with their antics and then Trump kind of inserted himself in there.
4:48
[SPEAKER_04]: I kind of felt like maybe the last 10 to 15 years politics have been a reality show.
4:57
[SPEAKER_04]: And because it's been a reality show, it's exhausting.
5:02
[SPEAKER_04]: And so it's hard to know who you're voting for, why you're voting for him, even from a perspective of, you know, as black people, always vote in Democrat.
5:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Should you vote Republican?
5:16
[SPEAKER_04]: Like there's a whole thing happening if it's the point where if you You know if you publicly like this, there's people who secretly vote Republican Yeah, because they know that if they if they if they if they but if they are lying with Republican values But they say that that that they're not voting Democrat that the community will well literally like hang them, right Correct, so there's a lot going on a lot going on
5:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, but uh, you know, before we start, those who don't know in your words, who is Tiffany Henyard?
5:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I am a mother.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
5:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I am a soulmate.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And I am an entrepreneur.
5:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
5:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And as always, I tell everybody keep God first because you got to stay prayed up, especially in this crew world.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And never, ever, ever give up because
6:04
[SPEAKER_01]: life happens but people will test your patients and you got to keep that on the control and that's the thing that people don't understand when you are in the public life, when you are the leader because the leader has to make a decision no matter who likes it, who disagrees, who agrees with it.
6:20
[SPEAKER_01]: it's up to you because it's your truth right at that moment.
6:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And guess what?
6:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You're going to have people hate you and people that love you.
6:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But the end of the day you had to make a decision because when you get sworn into office is your term.
6:33
[SPEAKER_01]: You got four years to complete that term or whatever your vision is and have to fulfill the people's wishes.
6:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever that is.
6:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's kind of what I am about as relates to just loving on the people, support and community, real big on community engagement.
6:49
[SPEAKER_01]: What people don't realize or understand about me is I am truly a lover and I love the people.
6:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I love being amongst community and community involvement and engagement, which we don't have a lot of in the Black and Brown community.
7:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's something that I was really, really big on.
7:05
[SPEAKER_01]: But it got, how can I say it?
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Drum a tie.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: In the media at scrutiny, when I really was loving on the people because to this day, they are still implementing the same things that I implemented back then, but yet they made bad articles about it, but they're still doing the same thing today.
7:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So obviously when that bad, it was just bad because I was the one with the vision.
7:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just want to point that out in being a woman in this political arena.
7:28
[SPEAKER_01]: It is a means worker as a relates to Paula Tricks, because it's what I call it, if they can treat you, they can beat you.
7:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But I just want people to realize that education ourselves.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You earn so much more if you educate yourself throughout the process because people just go to the doing a loud people all the time because they got to beat the person that they're talking about so there's to tell you all these things and then you make up this thing in your mind that they're bad before you get to know them.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Understand this go meet them at their on their platforms at their stores When they at the doors talk to a lot of people ignore that and every your opportunity to have that one-on-one conversation and get some realness from now Because you gotta have disarming disarming to tell you a lot about a person the energy to vibe everything and right in and Then you can make your own decision and do your research and what I mean by research We have some back in Illinois.
8:16
[SPEAKER_01]: That's called FOIA here.
8:18
[SPEAKER_01]: They call it records department Well, you can go and FOIA which is freedom of information back in Illinois
8:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And you can forget anything about that entity, whether it's the park board, library board, school board, the village, or the city, in the same thing here, but it's called records department.
8:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So you wanna know how to spend something, what did they buy, what conferences they went on?
8:37
[SPEAKER_01]: You can do that.
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: And that way you know, because it's public information.
8:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how you learn on your own without somebody telling you the truth or let them sell it the lies about somebody.
8:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
8:47
[SPEAKER_04]: It's difficult though now because we've now specifically in our community with Trump, we've now seen that there's a line drawn that if you are a Republican, then you don't love the community and you have to be a Democrat if you're black, you were a lifelong Democrat.
9:13
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, for one to 15 years, um, and so you're currently running as a republic and talking about like, like, like, like, why, why to switch from Democrat to Republican.
9:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So for those that do know my history, um, back in Illinois, they had a caucus and it was in 2022.
9:30
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it was 2022.
9:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I might mess it up the year, but when the caucus happened, it was for Thorntown,
9:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So I was the Supervisor, the largest township in the state of Illinois.
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I was over 190,000 residents.
9:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I was over 17 communities, including my own wives, the mayor, and they went and stole the election from me.
9:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They were so afraid that I was going to win the election that they held a caucus, with has not been done in what 30 years.
9:59
[SPEAKER_01]: The person before me that headed which was Frank Zooka rally, he held office for 30 years.
10:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It never been a woman.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: No one black,
10:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So, when now all this happened, the person that wanted the power, which is a guy, of course, won a maron or blackmail, and he wanted to be the most powerful person in the softland.
10:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He care about power and not people.
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I have a problem with.
10:21
[SPEAKER_01]: He don't do anything for the community.
10:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I get the calls to this day about man, Tiffany, we want you back.
10:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Come back, no, I'm not.
10:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I've started a new chapter here in Georgia, and that's where I'm going to lay my roots now, right?
10:32
[SPEAKER_01]: So, basically,
10:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, the caucus they had, uh, a building in home would, um, a caucus works like this.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You call, you, you basically say, I wait, let me back up.
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: You sign for the caucus because I had too signed to say we're going to have this caucus.
10:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it basically wipes out an election.
10:50
[SPEAKER_01]: But we don't have any election.
10:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So the voters cannot go to the polls and vote like they normally would.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: at the caucus, the people that can come and attend and vote for anybody that wants to run for office, whether you want to be the supervisor, the trustees, what else was it, trustees, the clerk, anybody like that, you have to live in Thorne Township.
11:12
[SPEAKER_01]: When I say people was at this event that did not live in Thorne Township, they was coming through the back door and they was allowed
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That was in Thorntownshire residents.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So the room was already packed.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So that tells you to set up right in in it So when everybody got to the caucus literally we was outside for hours the media covered it When I said it covered they didn't cover and show you the true for what happened outside when I say thousands of people came Thousands of people came to vote for 15 years.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I had buses.
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I had trucks.
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I had vents.
11:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You name it We was outside and it was so cold that day
11:50
[SPEAKER_01]: cold and they left us outside.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's start learning people in the building at six, 30, about fours.
11:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So just imagine that if it started seven to five and you got thousands of people outside, how are we gonna get in the building?
12:01
[SPEAKER_01]: We never made it in the building.
12:03
[SPEAKER_01]: It was fortunate that I was able to make it into the building but it was under bad pretense because somebody's daughter got taken inside the building.
12:11
[SPEAKER_01]: She was like about five and they kicked, they left the mother outside.
12:15
[SPEAKER_01]: She was banging on the door.
12:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So I asked them can they allow me to go a front to help her get her key, which it worked.
12:21
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
12:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I got her front.
12:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I got in the building.
12:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I able to get her key to her and that's how I got in the building.
12:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So they called the rope.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They called the meeting.
12:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It said, okay, we're going to have a meeting.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Do the meeting right now right now.
12:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They called the meeting in literally, uh, call for a motion.
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: They basically motion just their ticket.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody else.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: It was all the people.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't just me that was running.
12:44
[SPEAKER_01]: This how bad voter suppression was that day.
12:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I was running, several other people was running.
12:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And they only took a motion for their ticket, illegal.
12:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Now this is all illegal now.
12:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So they did that, they did a second, and then they called the row.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, nobody else was able to put their name in the hats to say they want to be the supervisor.
13:03
[SPEAKER_01]: They want to be a trustee or they want to be the Clark nutty, none of that happened.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So after all that was said and done, I had to therefore then run as a writing.
13:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So I couldn't be on the bat because the cockas are into a place.
13:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, we sued, we did all the above, right?
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And you don't have to gang up, that's why I sell everybody with politics.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: They kicked that out of court or they kicked the kid down the road and nothing came from it But the people were so mad they started after Davis.
13:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I held a press conference talking about this People can go research what happened at that and they wanted they vote to count We got us a day voting for me or anybody else that was out there They did not have the opportunity to do so.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: It was taken from them and that never happened in 30 years in the history of Thorntown
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what happened.
13:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So once they put that bad taste in my mouth, as it relates to a still-new election, I didn't want nothing else to do with the Democrat party of Illinois.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So after that, it was up here about it.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I kept fighting.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't give up.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't quit.
14:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I ran as the right in and all that.
14:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's the hardest thing to accomplish.
14:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Running as the right in.
14:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you know, we are lazy.
14:05
[SPEAKER_01]: When I say we mean the Black and Black community, they're not gonna write the name in it.
14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: They wanna push a buddy and go.
14:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So that did happen.
14:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I did not win a reelection.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And therefore, I moved here to Georgia a little time after that.
14:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
14:18
[SPEAKER_04]: And then and then talk a little bit about your thoughts still around us as black folks kind of just voting.
14:30
[SPEAKER_04]: one way.
14:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, is it okay that we all vote Democrat?
14:35
[SPEAKER_04]: Is it okay?
14:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Should we be vote in our interest?
14:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Should we vote?
14:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Because here's the thing, right?
14:43
[SPEAKER_04]: What I feel like, and you probably heard this before, is that because you're running as a Republican or you're currently a Republican or whatever,
14:54
[SPEAKER_04]: they automatically connect that with Trump that you are MAGA, you are part of that, is that a true statement?
15:03
[SPEAKER_01]: So I just want to like back up a little bit so people can understand the clarity of Democratic and Republican.
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: we are taught and that you probably can admit to this when we're young and our parents they teach us that we are Democrat we never ever learned about the other side which is the Republican side and therefore we go and we vote blindly and I can admit to that because we just vote because it's Democrat we don't do no research on the people that's running or anything
15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like time out for that because I've seen people within the Democrat party that shouldn't appear a politician elected in office in office because they align with the status quo.
15:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: But they don't deserve the position because they don't care about the people.
15:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They only about self.
15:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I have a problem with.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I've learned now by going to the other side is that Republican care about a lot of things that I care about, which the
16:03
[SPEAKER_01]: God is not in the schools no more.
16:05
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't talk about it.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't pray down to a lot of things and I don't like that But yet they want to demonize the Republican party But yet they're doing the exact thing that they're trying to say that don't because I've been on both sides, right?
16:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So now that I'm on the Republican side, I love the fact that they care about economic development
16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, economic development is really big, especially in South Fools, and we don't have that, and that's one reason why I'm running, because I like to develop things.
16:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I want the Black-A-Bround community to feel like, hmm, we have a voice, we have somebody that's gonna listen.
16:35
[SPEAKER_01]: She's going to bring, rest, sit there, rest, rest, rest, rest, rest, because it is.
16:39
[SPEAKER_01]: You can go, do carry out here in there, but you can't go, take your family to a Sunday dinner, for instance, where you're gonna go.
16:45
[SPEAKER_01]: You have the value of food and go home.
16:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't appreciate that.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Another big issue that they got is the animal control.
16:52
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a loose dog when I say a loose dog walking around that he didn't recruit two other dogs and they got a hold of a pack in a parking lot Yeah, so now you got people scared to get out that car to come into the stores and shop with us because you got a loose dog But get you got an animal control you did, but they're not picking up the animals
17:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, oh, is that just only a soft fortune, but they pick the items up and not fortune.
17:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's the issue I got.
17:15
[SPEAKER_01]: It's in the glat.
17:17
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the things that they say when there's majority black areas, they don't care.
17:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They don't want to fix it.
17:23
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to bring that sign concept that the Republicans have in the North fortune to the soft fortune.
17:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to build a hospital which they are currently doing.
17:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't get me wrong.
17:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the fact that they implemented that, but what I want people to pay attention to is, why do they only implement things with its time to my office?
17:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't have several years to do any of the things that they claim they was going to fix.
17:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But when it's time to get your vote, which is earned your vote, they want to now implement things like a police station.
17:50
[SPEAKER_01]: What a police station.
17:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I've never seen that in my life.
17:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, a city don't have a police station.
17:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm forcing does not have a police station.
17:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you know that?
17:57
[SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know that.
17:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even know that.
17:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
17:59
[SPEAKER_01]: We get called price about officers changing the parking lots and all kinds of things.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't even know that.
18:04
[SPEAKER_01]: These are wrestlers that come in the school and just tell us things.
18:06
[SPEAKER_01]: They have a police force, but no police stage.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
18:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
18:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That's correct.
18:09
[SPEAKER_04]: I was I was I was I was I was that that's that's safe thinking that I I did a report to work.
18:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I say, they do roll call outside.
18:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So I say, yeah, are kidding me, but it's kind of true because they just broke ground for a police station in South Fortin, the city of South Fortin, not the county.
18:27
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the city I'm speaking of.
18:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's another big issue.
18:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so many issues, the jail of Fortin jail.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Why haven't they done on about that all this time?
18:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You got all these complaints all these issues nobody has stepped in and done anything.
18:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do it take like I always say e-lections to make people want to go fix the things that's been broken over all these years?
18:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but that's why I mean about Paula tricks.
18:48
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why my podcast called Paula tricks with Tiffany and because they can trick you they can beat you
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Because all they're going to say is, oh, we're going to do this, so we're going to do that.
18:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not sure the world is just should have been doing that.
18:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Now you won't my vote.
18:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's why I said you want some different tracks on different rock with me.
19:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Tiffany ain't you?
19:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I'm going to do what they're not going to do, which is fix it.
19:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And be the people that's my son to feed the people, right?
19:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So you want to do stuff like that.
19:13
[SPEAKER_01]: But people don't want to want to change.
19:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They stare at the church.
19:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It shouldn't be because you Republican, you were Trump or you, mega.
19:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, I am real big on relationships.
19:23
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all present, no matter what people feel about it, got to say about it, he got four years.
19:27
[SPEAKER_01]: At the end of the day, my job is to be a vice for the community to go or reach across the aisle and then walk in that cross the aisle and say, hey, how can you help us?
19:36
[SPEAKER_01]: What resources can you bring back to solve for us?
19:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I care about, and that's what people should care about.
19:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the fact that they are making all these different changes now, because now it will make people really choose the character of a person, let alone just, you know, party alignment, because you read or you blew, it shouldn't be.
19:53
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
19:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Because think about it, if you want to run as the independent, it's so hard to do that.
19:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you have to go get double the signatures to get on the body, but if you pick a side, which is read or blew, you on the body.
20:05
[SPEAKER_01]: That don't make no sense, but if you're just a free thinking, you can pick a side.
20:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That make it so hard for you to be able to do that.
20:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like the fact that they are doing the redistricting.
20:14
[SPEAKER_01]: People who are scared of that because people want the power to control what they have, the Democrats have to control and so forth.
20:21
[SPEAKER_04]: But I'm hearing that the redistricting is disproportionately affecting the black community, that it's not allowing black people to vote or is making it harder for them to vote.
20:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, is that, no, not
20:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why I say that people should educate themselves.
20:42
[SPEAKER_01]: They get the facts all wrong.
20:44
[SPEAKER_01]: When they redistrict, don't get me wrong.
20:46
[SPEAKER_01]: It's always going to be like a seesaw up and down.
20:50
[SPEAKER_01]: OK, if the Republicans got the power now, then the Democrats get the power and vice versa.
20:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of how I go when they redistricting.
20:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you give them to the majority.
20:58
[SPEAKER_01]: But when you go, which the governor has it, going on June 17th, and they're going to do the redistricting of soft fortune.
21:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So the good thing about it is, and this is why I say it's good, because people would like to beat people up because of their opinion.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: It allows people to pick the person that's best for the position off of their credibility, not off of party, like that chair rate, it can't go because you read on bone casual public.
21:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Or I'm blue and you vote because I'm blue.
21:26
[SPEAKER_01]: No, you get to literally pick almost the independent status in the car itself, because now you're not going to have Democrat or Republican by that person, so if you were for office, come back.
21:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he changed it for a 2020-80 election.
21:38
[SPEAKER_01]: 28 you can no longer put Republican or Democrat by your night now people have to literally pick Ash because Ash is a good person in the community our reach or whatever you do and I I like that Yeah, I think that's how people should be elected.
21:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they should be elected because of what gain they win
21:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't believe in that.
21:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think you should look at if people really involve in community.
22:01
[SPEAKER_01]: That's who you rock with, because that means they're gonna take the job series.
22:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Then I'm gonna take it because it's a step-in-stone to something else.
22:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They're gonna take it because they really care about helping you build different things for seniors, helping you load your property taxes.
22:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the stuff that I represent.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the kind of things that I'll create it back in Illinois.
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the same thing I wanna create here in Seoul, Seoul.
22:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
22:21
[SPEAKER_04]: How do we educate our people on the economic effects of politics, right?
22:29
[SPEAKER_04]: Because what I've noticed is I think that majority of our political decisions are made emotionally.
22:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Like,
22:46
[SPEAKER_04]: And I'm saying us as a majority, I'm not saying all of us, but I'm saying us as a majority, vote based on, all right, these are the policies, this is what we should do, majority of it, whether it's national, whether it's local, it's emotional.
23:04
[SPEAKER_04]: It's like, how does this person make me feel?
23:07
[SPEAKER_04]: And based on how this person makes me feel, that's how I'm going to vote.
23:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Um, and to the point where I don't even think we're rational about it, like we don't even really care for real like like that one's a care, but we don't even really hear we don't even want to hear the rationale right.
23:27
[SPEAKER_04]: And so when it comes to like economic policy right like certain things that like let's say like commissioner like let's say right now Some might might be listening and you're and you're talking about these economic things that you want to do in South Fulton, but they might just only hear Republican get emotional and say not right like how do we
23:55
[SPEAKER_04]: help our community like actually engage in politics and how do we, especially with everything have been fast, so much information, so many distractions, like what is the key to that?
24:10
[SPEAKER_01]: The key is basically how conversations, whether it's weekly, monthly, but you've got to have conversations with the public, public got to come out.
24:18
[SPEAKER_01]: If they really want to learn some different or a no true, they got to go to the different forms, they got to go to the different events, just to learn because a lot of people move off a hearsay.
24:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That don't hold up in court, so how are you doing that when you're picking somebody that's supposed to run your country or your county?
24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You get what I'm saying.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: They got a got to want to learn.
24:38
[SPEAKER_01]: That's that's that's number one It's almost like school all over again.
24:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You know people I was school.
24:42
[SPEAKER_01]: You know those all feel yeah You know we don't want to stay focused on what we're trying to accomplish which is the education piece
24:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm real big on trying to educate the public.
24:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I had this segment called, let me educate you.
24:54
[SPEAKER_01]: People just get out of two, think I'm like, you can't educate me.
24:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And I ain't like that because me trying to tell you something that you probably missed or you did not know.
25:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Because a lot of people don't know.
25:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Like how the redistricting is.
25:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Like that's a good thing to me.
25:06
[SPEAKER_01]: But a lot of people think it's a bad thing because it's helping one side versus the other.
25:10
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's like certain things that we have to like, take a step back and say,
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good point, Tiffany.
25:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Regardless of red or blue, and I want to focus on that because the message is clear, I want to help the people.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't you want to help the people and you show the people that you will and to help them?
25:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that's what it is.
25:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You sacrifice your life for the betterment of what you're trying to create for a community.
25:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what people don't understand because you go off the lies instead of what the people before you are showing you they can do.
25:42
[SPEAKER_01]: People would do smear campaigns on you.
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I had the biggest on me, right?
25:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Biggest smear campaign in the state of Illinois.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: All for a power that's all people want.
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They get their still implementing the same exact things.
25:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And I repeated that for a reason because I want people to go back and look at that.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop judging off what you hear.
25:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Stop being part of high school.
26:01
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I heard this, girl, Kiki, that's what people do.
26:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And instead of going and in fact, check for yourself.
26:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I want people just to really turn on my education.
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: That's really key.
26:09
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
26:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
26:10
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
26:11
[SPEAKER_04]: What was the moment that you knew that you wanted to go into politics?
26:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, why?
26:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, was that something that, you know, growing up?
26:20
[SPEAKER_04]: You were like, all right, I'm gonna be a politician.
26:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, I won't wait to have it.
26:23
[SPEAKER_01]: No, uh, grown up, I was entrepreneur.
26:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I had a restaurant call, welcome to Good Barrier Home, what a good burger.
26:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, back then, what got me into politics is, I was the president of my block club party on my block.
26:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, residents basically was complaining about a tree.
26:40
[SPEAKER_01]: They needed to be cut down.
26:41
[SPEAKER_01]: The roots was getting into plumbing and the pipes, things like that.
26:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And I went to Avocado for it and a bore me.
26:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I went to that bore bead, oh my God, when I say it was all older people.
26:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So when I get there I'm looking like this the bar and then when I tell them about the issue They're like, oh, man, sit down in the the mere democracy flick me.
27:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like sit down We ain't doing nothing like I'm a kid.
27:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, oh, okay that bet so I go
27:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I go and I run for office, they kicked me off the bat at the first time, they did, they did, I had to learn again, and that's what I mean about learning, if I didn't go read and learn what I needed to do so next time I make the ballot, people would never know.
27:25
[SPEAKER_01]: But that's kind of how I got into politics and then from there I saw who was running our community and then one of the people that I thought was running Community it was older people and when I say older people because there's no no this to them I'm saying people that need it to retire People that should no longer hailed the position because I just I'm real big on passing the Potent because somebody else that I live on energy that can really keep up with today's technology The way things are going should take the throne.
27:52
[SPEAKER_01]: That's just how I feel about it
27:53
[SPEAKER_04]: When you became mayor, were you the first black mayor?
27:58
[SPEAKER_01]: That was the first black female, okay?
28:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Youngers mayor, yes, in here.
28:01
[SPEAKER_04]: How old were you when you became mayor?
28:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I was 36.
28:04
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, so, youngers, what was that transition like, were you, was that on the cars, like Natta Triumph politics, you're like, I wanna one day become mayor, like what made you wanna be mayor?
28:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, back then, I didn't see out of eye with the current mayor then, and the way he was moving and having the thing and he talked about corruption and when I said, you people need to investigate certain people.
28:31
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one.
28:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And basically, I was calling him out on the mess.
28:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And people really loved that I stood up for what was going on.
28:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So people stood with me.
28:40
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was the most popular trustee back then.
28:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's how I won by Lenslight in 2021.
28:49
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
28:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
28:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
28:51
[SPEAKER_04]: And fast forward, right?
28:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, obviously, you know, people can look up, but there was some some tension or things that happened that, you know, on your way out of your being, being mayor, you know, after that, why not, like, what keeps you still want to be in politics?
29:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, why not say, you know what?
29:17
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm trying to help the people, and the people don't want to help themselves.
29:23
[SPEAKER_04]: So you know what, like, you can easily, like, you know what, I'm going to just take care of me, am I, but just still advocate for the people.
29:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Why?
29:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Because when you're chosen, you must show up for the timing.
29:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And at that time, when I was going through different things, as mayor, God placed me in a bigger seat, and I was going through all the turmoil as mayor, right?
29:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And 2022, he made me the supervisor of the largest township in the state of Illinois.
29:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, he placed me over 190,000 residents in 17 different communities like I stated before, including my own while was mayor.
30:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's where majority of the power came from.
30:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Once I got that position, oh my God, when I take a tax, a tax, a tax, a tax, I got more attacks because people wanted to manipulate me, have me do things that they wanted to do and keep the gravy trying going.
30:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And I stopped a lot of that, and that's where all my conflicts came.
30:24
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a play, I won't play the politics.
30:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And therefore, um, that's why I'm currently not in the seat because everybody Gavin asked to remove me from the seat, uh, because I needed to play the boy's club game and I I wouldn't.
30:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I was still be there if I did play the game.
30:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but my heart is in service.
30:45
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
30:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And unfortunately, and I said unfortunately, because it's the toughest thing.
30:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It's political.
30:50
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
30:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, so the, the policies, it runs the world.
30:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't care.
30:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody said everything you
30:57
[SPEAKER_04]: Some people may argue though, and I would love to hear your thoughts about this.
31:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Some people may argue though that sometimes playing a game is how you could affect change the best, right?
31:11
[SPEAKER_04]: So meaning that I've seen people who have
31:18
[SPEAKER_04]: tried to who played the game just so that they could stay on the inside, so they could change policy from the inside, right?
31:28
[SPEAKER_04]: What's your thoughts on that?
31:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I'm not into playing the game that don't benefit the people.
31:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: It must benefit the people because at the end of the day, you could be on the inside and I give you example, a state reps, right?
31:43
[SPEAKER_01]: People go and they sponsor bills, just because they sponsor the bill, and it never got implemented, tell me how that helped you.
31:49
[SPEAKER_01]: But they go around and brag and write on literature, oh, I sponsor the bill.
31:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, we did it come along.
31:55
[SPEAKER_01]: to show me that.
31:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I mean about politics when my show's called politics is so many different ways they trick the people.
32:01
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, oh, my, my, my rap doing this and doing that.
32:04
[SPEAKER_01]: But A did nothing for the people because nothing can't sufficient.
32:08
[SPEAKER_01]: What did they bring to your community?
32:09
[SPEAKER_01]: What resources happen?
32:10
[SPEAKER_01]: How did they engage with with people with youth, especially?
32:14
[SPEAKER_01]: You got all these youth movements and all these things going on, but people not doing right.
32:18
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I just can't stand with.
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't.
32:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, um, you know, you know, winning commissioner in Fulton County and South Fulton County, um, and really continuing, you know, your your mission, uh, was just to to to galvanize and help the our community, what, um, how far are you looking to take it?
32:42
[SPEAKER_04]: Like what, like what, like what it, what is the, what is the plan and mission for, for
32:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh wow, I can't get y'all all the boats, but I am going to win a 14-county commissioner on May 19th that will be my best day because I will make it through again.
33:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I will win as a Republican of course and therefore I go on to the general election which will be in November.
33:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
33:09
[SPEAKER_01]: There.
33:10
[SPEAKER_01]: will be a uphill battle because it will come down to educate in the public and just showing them what could be Because if you want some different you have to change and you can't keep picking the city keep picking them Crack now try a republic try to see what she brings to the table on how things work out for you I just want
33:31
[SPEAKER_01]: to grow.
33:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I mean by growth, it could be political life, it could be business life because right now I have a store on own national.
33:42
[SPEAKER_01]: It's called The New Wave Clothing.
33:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It said 5-0-9-5-0 national.
33:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We are open from 4 to 9, Tuesday through Saturday, and basically when I win all the night, I'm going to do a big blowout sale, and that's going to happen on Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_01]: So as bad one, get one for you needs some shoes, fix.

34:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And then also T-shirts, we got jogging suits, things of that nature.

34:20
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, and I love that.
34:22
[SPEAKER_04]: And then, and then so after you make history, you know, you want to keep keep growing, keep getting bigger.
34:31
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you think is the future of?
34:36
[SPEAKER_04]: politics in America in general, right?
34:38
[SPEAKER_04]: Because we hear a lot of fear around Trump, right?
34:45
[SPEAKER_04]: A lot of fear around the war and Trump saying, hey, just vote me into office one more time.
34:52
[SPEAKER_04]: You never got to vote against.
34:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, what does that mean?
34:54
[SPEAKER_04]: I would change the law.
34:56
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you going to have to be off forever?
34:58
[SPEAKER_04]: Ever president, like, and then kind of just seeing again how
35:03
[SPEAKER_04]: divided we are as a country, you know, I wasn't around during the Civil War time, but that's what it almost feels like.
35:14
[SPEAKER_04]: It feels like this is how it felt prior to, you know, the North versus the South.
35:21
[SPEAKER_04]: It would be what do you feel like is the future of our country and politics, etc.
35:29
[SPEAKER_01]: That one tough.
35:30
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
35:31
[SPEAKER_01]: The reason why that's tough, the people got to wake up, if the people don't wake up and start voting and coming out, because they get you every opportunity possible to vote.
35:40
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
35:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Every opportunity.
35:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I give you an example.
35:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Vote ID.
35:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they should show IDs when they go vote when we drive a car.
35:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to buy certain things.
35:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to show our ID correct.
35:53
[SPEAKER_01]: So what's what's the difference when you go to vote?
35:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Why can't you show your ID?
35:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's like okay.
35:59
[SPEAKER_01]: If you all got this illegal stuff going on as relates to people just vote because they happen back in Illinois.
36:05
[SPEAKER_01]: They had the anti people vote people that won register vote.
36:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens.
36:08
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's what I mean by, I've been on both sides.
36:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they're saying it, and they only tripping because the Republicans are saying it, but when the Democrats were saying it, what was the difference?
36:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see what I'm saying, it's like a seasaw.
36:19
[SPEAKER_01]: They go back and forth between the parties.
36:21
[SPEAKER_01]: But they're all doing it.
36:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So if they're all doing it, why can't we just fix it?
36:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And do voter ID?
36:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Because that matters.
36:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And that would kill some of the noise in my opinion.
36:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's so many different things that we have to look forward to as the country moves.
36:38
[SPEAKER_01]: on this with self.
36:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Facts are facts.
36:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Appears are opinions.
36:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so many people that's low key Republicans, but they claim they Democrats.
36:47
[SPEAKER_01]: They go in there and vote.
36:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't do not.
36:50
[SPEAKER_01]: When I'm doing knocking, especially in softwoods, it's so many people like, oh, my God.
36:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes, I'm a vote for you all.
36:56
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, oh, really?
36:56
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd be so shocked because I just wasn't expecting the site because they claimed they Democrat, right, right.
37:01
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm running this today and I'm glad that people are waking up and they're looking at both sides.
37:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Because if I didn't look at both sides, I would still be a Democrat to this day.
37:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
37:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Because a lot of people think just because of the caucus that happened, that's part of it.
37:13
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've seen all kind of other things that I've done.
37:15
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I care about the most is like, I told you it's the policy.
37:19
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah.
37:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And I told you about faith, I'm gonna be a big on that because I gotta lead with that.
37:23
[SPEAKER_01]: If you don't lead with that, then you don't know what you would be.
37:27
[SPEAKER_04]: But how do you, it is a weird thing, right?
37:30
[SPEAKER_04]: This is why like, I'm an independent, I do my best to try to look at the vote for who has my best interest.
37:42
[SPEAKER_04]: My family's best interest in my heart.
37:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes it's difficult, right?
37:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes it's difficult to lean on any party to be honest with you, and because it almost feels like, yes, on the Republican side, there might be policies that are conservative, that align with my values, but then,
38:09
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, there are other things though that that go against that, right?
38:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Same thing on the other side as far as, you know, from a democrat perspective, there might be things that align, you know, with my values, but then there's stuff that totally go against it.
38:25
[SPEAKER_04]: And so knowing that this flaws on both sides and then knowing that we're not even
38:33
[SPEAKER_04]: trying to have a conversation when I've been trying to have a conversation like we are again drawing a lot in a sand like it makes it really really difficult right to even even now have a conversation like like and and as I said like politics to me felt like a reality show now right because
38:54
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, back in the day, nobody was that interested, like that's that into who you voted for, right?
39:03
[SPEAKER_04]: To a point where I've been in situations where I've heard that family has a Republican and one family has a Democrat, and it didn't matter as much.
39:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Like it wasn't like, like I've literally seen people align cursing you out.
39:19
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, if you are a Republican, you could die.
39:24
[SPEAKER_04]: passionate that involved is who you vote for that they're just saying like you are you you're the op you're on the other side and it's like even if they know you for a long time it's like it's like this weird weird space as well yeah no you're right and I don't I don't like it yeah it's it's hard it's the hardest conversation to have the political
39:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Will it change if we ever I don't think so because I've asked the question too, which is how is it that we can go to a bar All right, and we both into sports you like one team.
39:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I like the other talk Mess to each other all day long about who gonna win and who better and we can go out
39:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Drink eat and then go home and be cool the next day But we talk about politics.
40:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh you you enemy number one And we've never bring it back together because of our views it makes no sense Everybody got their opinion.
40:12
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why you go vote your opinion or what you feel who you feel gonna do the best shot
40:17
[SPEAKER_01]: and you move on.
40:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I want us to find a happy medium with it, but it's so impossible because somebody don't like somebody or if your president is too much of a character or this president is too much of a character, then now we got a pro.
40:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Well why don't you say that?
40:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Well why don't you do that?
40:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, we are on a local level.
40:35
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, for sure.
40:35
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, but you're arguing with them about something we would never touch.
40:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
40:39
[SPEAKER_01]: that's up there.
40:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We're down here.
40:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So right now, let's focus on what we can fix and what we can obtain.
40:44
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
40:44
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's helping each other with fixing software.
40:48
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
40:49
[SPEAKER_04]: What, what, what, what's your opinion on the people that say that black people,
40:57
[SPEAKER_04]: And total should like, you know, I think Steve A. Smith got some flag recently by saying like black people should like like vote as a block like we all should probably vote Everyone's Republican.
41:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Like what shit was it those on.
41:14
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, I love it.
41:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's on to something.
41:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree with him.
41:17
[SPEAKER_01]: we all should.
41:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Why not?
41:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I got stated before.
41:20
[SPEAKER_01]: If you want some different, you have to do some different.
41:22
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
41:22
[SPEAKER_01]: And we keep picking the same thing, why we think is that we're going to China's the definition of insanity.
41:26
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
41:27
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, we keep all vote in the same way and they can, oh, they're going to fix our street.
41:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're going to give us a jail.
41:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're going to give us a hospital.
41:33
[SPEAKER_01]: We keep thinking it's going to work.
41:35
[SPEAKER_01]: But the only time that give us breadcrumbs is when it's time to run for office.
41:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
41:39
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the only time if you watch or pay attention to any politician in their platform.
41:43
[SPEAKER_01]: It's because what they're going to do, why aren't you doing it?
41:46
[SPEAKER_01]: You're already in off.
41:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Why haven't you done anything with the four years that I've elected you to be in the sea?
41:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:51
[SPEAKER_01]: You've done nothing with it.
41:53
[SPEAKER_01]: But now you want me to get you another four years?
41:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Why would I?
41:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So why not switch and go Republican and see what happened?
41:59
[SPEAKER_01]: What do you have to lose?
42:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Nothing because you're in getting nothing now.
42:02
[SPEAKER_01]: So why not change?
42:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think the change starts with us.
42:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but we have to see here have a real conversation about what that looks like and who we gonna get the opportunity to and therefore a way if it don't work now you got another four years and then you can change it again You go back to what you was used to well, at least you would get something out of it this time around.
42:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
42:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so I love it for the same because take a lot of curves to say something like
42:25
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, not for sure, for sure, for sure.
42:26
[SPEAKER_04]: And again, like, I know me personally, and we talked about this behind the scenes, but I mean, personally, two things I don't like talking about is politics and religion, because
42:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Like people are fanatics too, you know, like I've, you know, like, I mean, I'll be, I grew up, I grew up a Christian, currently, you know, I'm a, I'm a, I'm a practice in Muslim.
42:54
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
42:56
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't.
42:58
[SPEAKER_04]: don't care enough about religion.
43:02
[SPEAKER_04]: Kim or God, right?
43:03
[SPEAKER_04]: If you believe in God or not, I don't care enough about religion to look at somebody who's a Christian and say, oh my God, you don't believe what I believe.
43:13
[SPEAKER_04]: So I didn't care about what you wore, or even when I was a Christian, it was like, oh my God, you're almost like, I don't care about that so much because I think that there's so much evil in the world that
43:25
[SPEAKER_04]: people believe in God should be against evil, like not against each other, correct?
43:30
[SPEAKER_04]: As both believe in God, right?
43:32
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a different vehicle if you will.
43:36
[SPEAKER_04]: But I also know that people are so like I've, I've watched like people be so like fanatic about
43:45
[SPEAKER_04]: politics and be so fanatic about religion and really just kind of like, again, draw a lot in the sand and so it's, I feel like it's hard to, to ever understand what's the right thing to do because the people who have the information are not relaying the information, they're
44:11
[SPEAKER_04]: emotional way, right?
44:12
[SPEAKER_04]: Like in a way that that's like emotional.
44:16
[SPEAKER_04]: When you when you think about some of the things that you're going to do as commissioner of South Fulton, talk to the people of South Fulton, right?
44:27
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, you know, why why should they vote for you?
44:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so the main reason why a lot of people should vote for me is because I stand on business as well as to change I stand on creating opportunities for the economic development and that we spoke about that a little earlier, such as the restaurants I care about sit down corridors on what you can actually going eat.
44:48
[SPEAKER_01]: not go carry your food.
44:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes we just want to sit down and eat, it didn't go because it's hot.
44:52
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about us sometimes when you get it right there in the next week, eat that happy to chicken.
44:55
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I'm saying?
44:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I care about building out things such as the jail and I care about the hospital because think about it.
45:02
[SPEAKER_01]: If you get shot or something will happen to you, why don't you have to go so far?
45:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Why I take 20, 30 minutes?
45:07
[SPEAKER_01]: You might bleed out, buddy, then what happens?
45:09
[SPEAKER_01]: now we got another problem but these are issues that's been ongoing that should have been fixed alone time ago so I'm only here to basically say hey I'm going to be that extra push to make sure it happens and you hold me accountable for it that's that's my vision and then I care about property taxes.
45:27
[SPEAKER_01]: a lot of people are getting taxed out of their homes and then you've got the seniors that can't afford things now that they keep raising rent up it's like what we're going to do about that and I care about I didn't know your minimum wage was so long oh my god how do they live a lot of expensive to live it how so all these things is what I am trying to fix
45:47
[SPEAKER_01]: here enforcing.
45:49
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm on the outside trying to fix it.
45:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So just imagine what I could do if I'm in the inside to fix it because I'm just a board member and that's what people don't understand.
45:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't run the show.
45:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not the chairman.
45:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not, I'm not, I'm not a day.
46:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just a person on the board with a voice, but I'm over my district, which is district five.
46:06
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I care about.
46:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And then people give me the opportunity to do it.
46:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my God, they're going to see.
46:15
[SPEAKER_04]: We
46:15
[SPEAKER_04]: Is there anything in this interview that I didn't ask you that you want to share or something that you're like, I wish you to ask me this question.
46:32
[SPEAKER_01]: What do I care about the most?
46:33
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
46:34
[SPEAKER_04]: What do you care about the most?
46:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I care about giving our people an opportunity to be heard, giving our people the opportunity to grow.
46:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Because a lot of times we're not in rooms, we're not at tables such as when it comes to economic development, it's given to companies and people that
46:56
[SPEAKER_01]: really just about the money and I'll get me wrong.
46:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I would say if it don't make money, don't make sense, right?
47:00
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a slogan.
47:01
[SPEAKER_01]: But I want our people to have them saying our opportunities.
47:05
[SPEAKER_01]: I want our schools to have the same resources as the people of North.
47:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Why don't we?
47:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Why do we keep passing kids because it's the no child left behind?
47:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I hear them, but I don't need a kid behind because they can't read.
47:23
[SPEAKER_01]: They need to learn how to read.
47:24
[SPEAKER_01]: You pass them just to say, go, go, now you're there problem.
47:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Why?
47:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Therefore, later on, it becomes a bigger problem.
47:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But if you would've nipped it in the book when it was small, whenever it became beat.
47:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm real big, I'm just uplifting us.
47:37
[SPEAKER_01]: because if we don't do it, who going to do it?
47:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to make the opportunity available for us.
47:43
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I keep saying that, because people like to take things and twist it, then you know, do everything else.
47:47
[SPEAKER_01]: The Black and Brown communities, that's what I'm speaking of.
47:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Because right now, we don't get those type of opportunities.
47:53
[SPEAKER_01]: And then I hate the ones that do get the opportunities and make it bad for the ones that really mean good back.
47:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like that.
48:00
[SPEAKER_01]: But I just want people to know, when you're doing something good, people are going to talk about you.
48:04
[SPEAKER_01]: When you're doing some bad, they're gonna talk about it.
48:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So it don't matter, you get damn it if you do, you're damn it if you don't, you have to run your race and do what God put in your heart to do.
48:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever that vision is and you have to live up to it.
48:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see.
48:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But just do what you feel is best at that time because it's your life, your narrative to tell the word.
48:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And right now, this is why my,
48:26
[SPEAKER_01]: story is called Project Phoenix and we are rising now throughout this campaign as relates to hey man y'all saw me at my ups my downs and now you're going to see me elevate and in this elevation because people like how you think you're going to win as we project it because it's all about talking to the people, it's all about educating them and making sure they understand what they're voting for and why they ain't doing that, why did it talk about now?
48:52
[SPEAKER_01]: because if they was going to do something great for the people, what they were to done it, back then, it shouldn't be now because it's election time.
48:59
[SPEAKER_01]: That means that's the trickery that I keep trying to point out to the people.
49:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't let them trick you this time.
49:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Pick, pick better.
49:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Won't better.
49:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you don't get what you need, then change it.
49:08
[SPEAKER_01]: But now you have the opportunity to make the change that you keep complaining about.
49:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you do live vote, do not complain.
49:13
[SPEAKER_01]: What you're complainin' for?
49:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I just feel you lose your right to the took a play if you don't vote.
49:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Because voting matters and a lot of people think they vote no matter.
49:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
49:20
[SPEAKER_01]: but it really does.
49:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes, like, it actually can be between two votes.
49:24
[SPEAKER_01]: And a person then go vote.
49:27
[SPEAKER_01]: And they lose the race because your friend then go vote for you or whatever.
49:30
[SPEAKER_01]: They felt they vote, then matter, it does matter.
49:32
[SPEAKER_04]: And I honestly think that that's what possibly happened.
49:37
[SPEAKER_04]: This last trip with, you know, with Kamala and Donald Trump.
49:42
[SPEAKER_04]: I think that there were a lot of people who
49:48
[SPEAKER_04]: looked at Kamala Harris and said, they're not voting, right?
49:52
[SPEAKER_04]: But they couldn't see themselves voting for Trump.
49:55
[SPEAKER_04]: And so they kind of like sat out and they, and they, and they, and they don't think they vote, they vote when count.
50:00
[SPEAKER_01]: they got a vote, and if you don't vote, nothing gonna change.
50:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we get mad about how the economy's going up, what's going on, but we didn't even implement a change for that.
50:09
[SPEAKER_01]: And then that's the other people with this too, which I don't like to tell them this, but even if you want to vote for a certain party that's on there, such as a state reps, surgery reps, you might not like skipping, but go for everybody else on the back.
50:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't just not vote for anybody, because you don't want to vote for a certain person.
50:25
[SPEAKER_01]: skip that segment and vote for the other people so at least they get the credit for your vote.
50:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
50:29
[SPEAKER_01]: But people have to learn, so just put the emotions aside and go off a fax.
50:34
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
50:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Fax matters the most.
50:36
[SPEAKER_01]: You're a long way with fax.
50:37
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
50:38
[SPEAKER_04]: No, I love it.
50:39
[SPEAKER_04]: I love it.
