- 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: What are the top three to five lessons you guys
- 1:03Speaker 3: learned while you were in Davos last week and how
- 1:04Speaker 3: do you think it will have an impact on the
- 1:07Speaker 3: economy this year?
- 1:09Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, Davos, Switzerland. UH, shout out to our
- 1:13Speaker 4: CLF family. Forbes dre Well, it was a lot of
- 1:18Speaker 4: AI talk, definitely heavy, heavy AI. That was like the
- 1:23Speaker 4: number one conversation everywhere throughout the course of the week,
- 1:27Speaker 4: not surprisingly, and uh a few takeaways, you know, set
- 1:32Speaker 4: it on a few panels and uh. One one kid
- 1:36Speaker 4: he just dropped out of Harvard and he started he
- 1:38Speaker 4: started a company for companionship, AI companionship, and he was
- 1:42Speaker 4: saying that, you know, everybody's not privy to the same
- 1:45Speaker 4: friend privilege. I forgot how you're worried it, but everybody
- 1:48Speaker 4: doesn't isn't. Everybody doesn't have friends pretty much. So his
- 1:51Speaker 4: company that he started is AI companionship company, where you'll
- 1:56Speaker 4: have friends, artificial intelligence friends, and you can talk to
- 1:59Speaker 4: them and you can share moments with them and just
- 2:03Speaker 4: everything that you would do with the actual human friend.
- 2:06Speaker 4: So I just thought that was different as far as
- 2:08Speaker 4: you know, moving into this, uh, to this world of
- 2:11Speaker 4: actually humans interacting with AI and not just a workforce situation,
- 2:18Speaker 4: but also from an emotional standpoint situations. Interesting, somebody else
- 2:22Speaker 4: was talking about everybody at some point is going to
- 2:25Speaker 4: have an artificial intelligence assistant AI assistant, which we've heard
- 2:30Speaker 4: that before, so that was interesting. So you know, I
- 2:33Speaker 4: just feel that AI obviously is taken over, has taken over.
- 2:40Speaker 4: It's only going to get bigger and bigger. And everybody
- 2:43Speaker 4: was talking about different forms of AI, from environmental AI
- 2:46Speaker 4: to companionship AI to business AI.
- 2:49Speaker 5: But AI was the leading takeaway for sure.
- 2:54Speaker 4: And we also got a privilege to hear a few
- 2:57Speaker 4: presidents from Africa, the president of Ghana and a president
- 3:00Speaker 4: of Rwanda Rwanda speak so that was interesting to hear
- 3:05Speaker 4: the perspective from the African So they were talking about
- 3:08Speaker 4: the entertainment industry and the creative industry in Africa because
- 3:13Speaker 4: Global Citizens is coming to Ghana this year, so they
- 3:17Speaker 4: were talking about that from that perspective. But once again,
- 3:19Speaker 4: everybody's talking about investing in Africa. Africa is the last frontier.
- 3:23Speaker 4: So yeah, it was Those.
- 3:26Speaker 5: Are a few takeaways.
- 3:28Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, I mean, it was prevalent. Everywhere you
- 3:31Speaker 6: walked around, there was an activation. AI was at the
- 3:34Speaker 6: front of it. But it was interesting to hear the
- 3:36Speaker 6: leading scientists in the space, and you had a lot
- 3:38Speaker 6: of people from m I T I mean, we sat
- 3:40Speaker 6: through I think twenty panels and We're just extremely interested
- 3:44Speaker 6: in what was happening. When you talk about AI, artificial
- 3:47Speaker 6: intelligence and AGI, which is artificial general intelligence, which means
- 3:51Speaker 6: you really don't need human prompting. It really starts to
- 3:54Speaker 6: it kind of goes into what you were saying with
- 3:56Speaker 6: the with the company SOULD was the name of the company,
- 3:58Speaker 6: where you have companionship and it doesn't really need human interaction,
- 4:01Speaker 6: it kind of starts to adapt for it. So and
- 4:04Speaker 6: the debate over that and whether it's going to be positive,
- 4:06Speaker 6: and you had some of the leading scientists saying, like
- 4:09Speaker 6: positive or not, it's going to be here, and you
- 4:11Speaker 6: had some people saying we should be kind of fearful
- 4:13Speaker 6: of it. So to hear some of the brightest minds
- 4:15Speaker 6: in the space kind of have that debate live in
- 4:18Speaker 6: front of us was incredible.
- 4:20Speaker 2: But also looking at the innovation.
- 4:21Speaker 6: All right, we went to the Saudi House and we
- 4:23Speaker 6: kind of put it up in our stories on Instagram. Yeah,
- 4:27Speaker 6: what known the city that's going to be in Saudi?
- 4:30Speaker 6: And to look at the innovation and to look at
- 4:33Speaker 6: the technology and to look at how fast it is happening.
- 4:38Speaker 6: Because sometimes you look at something and you think, all right,
- 4:41Speaker 6: that's going to be like fifty years from now, they'll
- 4:43Speaker 6: probably get this done. And when I looked at tap Shotty,
- 4:46Speaker 6: I was like, ye know, this has expected to be
- 4:49Speaker 6: done in twenty thirty.
- 4:50Speaker 5: I'm like, that's six years from now.
- 4:52Speaker 6: Yeah, Like, think about the conversation that we're having in
- 4:54Speaker 6: our community, and think about and if you get a chance,
- 4:57Speaker 6: go look up NOMS.
- 4:58Speaker 5: It actually has an Instagram page.
- 5:00Speaker 6: They're building seven to nine different civilizations in Saudi and
- 5:06Speaker 6: so the level of technology that's going to take the
- 5:09Speaker 6: level of opportunity and you know, just awareness of how
- 5:13Speaker 6: you can maximize land and resources is incredible.
- 5:18Speaker 5: So that was incredible.
- 5:19Speaker 6: And then I said this to Shatty personally, but in private,
- 5:23Speaker 6: I'm saying in public the power of integrity because we
- 5:27Speaker 6: were we had plenty of conversations, and you know, I
- 5:32Speaker 6: watched him, I watched him all the time, but I
- 5:34Speaker 6: watched him in the the realist of settings, and I
- 5:39Speaker 6: don't want you know, I would be honest, man, I
- 5:41Speaker 6: would be honest because he knocks me sometimes like yo,
- 5:45Speaker 6: you're just like the nice guy and like you're like
- 5:48Speaker 6: politically correct, and like he sometimes go anti that, but
- 5:53Speaker 6: sometimes it's needed. And one day we'll tell a story
- 5:56Speaker 6: on the actual conversation, but I watched him stand his
- 6:01Speaker 6: ground on his beliefs, and his integrity was at the
- 6:04Speaker 6: highest form and in that setting it only can be respected.
- 6:09Speaker 2: And I told.
- 6:10Speaker 6: Him after we finished the conversation, I gave him a fist,
- 6:12Speaker 6: but I'm like, yo, bro, I'm proud of you. That
- 6:15Speaker 6: was that was tough. So having integrity in all rooms,
- 6:18Speaker 6: no matter the financial amount of the people that you
- 6:21Speaker 6: have the conversations with, or or the political power that
- 6:26Speaker 6: those people have, is important. And so I wanted to
- 6:28Speaker 6: tell you publicly how proud of you I was, because
- 6:31Speaker 6: I did tell you probably, but that was dope having.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Integrity in Switzerland.
- 6:36Speaker 6: I'm not, yo, bro, I look because I I wasn't sure.
- 6:40Speaker 6: And then I was like, oh, he's going for it. Ah,
- 6:43Speaker 6: Yes he spoke for us and whatever. And I want
- 6:46Speaker 6: to be careful because I was when I say he
- 6:47Speaker 6: spoke for us, Yes he spoke for us, right or
- 6:50Speaker 6: in your lisia, what I'm saying he spoke for us,
- 6:52Speaker 6: I'm talking about our entire community. Just no that he
- 6:57Speaker 6: was speaking for us in these conversations, and so I
- 7:00Speaker 6: was proud of them in that moment.
- 7:01Speaker 5: So I just want to tell you that again, appreciate
- 7:02Speaker 5: you got.
- 7:02Speaker 3: Into the illuminati, and that's different.
- 7:11Speaker 6: Let me tell you something, you know what, Yeah, that
- 7:16Speaker 6: one last thing and somebody actually made me think. I
- 7:20Speaker 6: didn't think of this, but you know, we did see
- 7:22Speaker 6: Robert Smith, and we did see some some some people
- 7:24Speaker 6: in the world of tech and CEOs, and they was
- 7:27Speaker 6: saying to us like, this episode is brought to you
- 7:32Speaker 6: by P and C Bank. A lot of people think
- 7:34Speaker 6: podcasts about work are boring, and sure they definitely can be,
- 7:38Speaker 6: but understanding of professionals routine shows us how they achieved
- 7:42Speaker 6: their success little by little, day after day. It's like
- 7:46Speaker 6: banking with P and C Bank.
- 7:48Speaker 2: It might seem boring.
- 7:49Speaker 6: To safe plan and make calculated decisions with your bank,
- 7:52Speaker 6: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live
- 7:55Speaker 6: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank Brilliantly

- 10:11Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
- 10:16Speaker 1: border and families will.
- 10:18Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 10:21Speaker 5: You're here.
- 10:21Speaker 6: Everybody that's in doubles during that time period is there
- 10:24Speaker 6: for a reason. But think how respected and how far
- 10:28Speaker 6: you've come, and how much of the impact that you're having.
- 10:31Speaker 6: That you can walk up to the CEOs and they
- 10:33Speaker 6: recognize you for what you've done.
- 10:35Speaker 5: That's powerful.
- 10:36Speaker 6: And so when you know you can sit in in
- 10:39Speaker 6: a form and listen to Sam Altman who's changed the world, right,
- 10:43Speaker 6: like his technology has changed the well and open AI
- 10:46Speaker 6: and all the engineers that they've changed the world.
- 10:48Speaker 5: To see some of these political leaders.
- 10:50Speaker 6: That are respected and some that you know may not
- 10:53Speaker 6: be as respected. But to be in the same room
- 10:55Speaker 6: and have these conversations, it's like, look, I know sometimes
- 10:59Speaker 6: people get law us in the conversation of oh my gosh,
- 11:02Speaker 6: what are they doing there? Well, where they're representing you,
- 11:07Speaker 6: I don't want that to go. Where they're representing you
- 11:09Speaker 6: and listening to the conversations and we're trying to tell
- 11:12Speaker 6: y'all and try to give you the feedback of here's
- 11:14Speaker 6: what's headed. Let's figure out how we can play a
- 11:18Speaker 6: role in this, And so I don't want that to
- 11:19Speaker 6: get lost on people. So like, yes, we represent you,
- 11:23Speaker 6: and we do this because number one, we want to
- 11:25Speaker 6: find out the information and we want to know what
- 11:27Speaker 6: the world leaders in the world in politics and finance
- 11:30Speaker 6: and tech, what they're saying, what their ambitions are, what
- 11:33Speaker 6: their vision is, so we can figure out how we
- 11:35Speaker 6: as a community can be part of it.
- 11:38Speaker 5: For sure.
- 11:39Speaker 3: Literally after be in a room with market makers in
- 11:40Speaker 3: order to know what the market is going to do,
- 11:42Speaker 3: so I definitely want to commend you and Rashare whoever
- 11:45Speaker 3: you went off on.
- 11:47Speaker 4: No off, it's just you know, yeah, you know, I
- 11:52Speaker 4: think course correction. Somebody said that, you know, integrity is
- 11:55Speaker 4: what you do when people aren't looking. And you know,
- 11:58Speaker 4: it's not even for like, it's just you just got
- 12:01Speaker 4: to be who you are and stand on who you are,
- 12:03Speaker 4: like you know, it's some things. It's just you know,
- 12:06Speaker 4: no matter what who you're talking to, right is right
- 12:11Speaker 4: and wrong is wrong, and you got to you know,
- 12:13Speaker 4: what you believe in.
- 12:14Speaker 5: You can't compromise your beliefs.
- 12:17Speaker 4: And I think people ultimately respect that, you know, because
- 12:19Speaker 4: if you're if you're willing to just compromise to anybody
- 12:22Speaker 4: that you're speaking to, then you know, people people will
- 12:26Speaker 4: notice that and they'll kind of say, Okay, this guy
- 12:28Speaker 4: is kind of wishy washy. But you know, I just
- 12:30Speaker 4: feel like, you know, a lot of people might not
- 12:32Speaker 4: fully understand, you know, the importance of DeVos And it's
- 12:36Speaker 4: where the most powerful people in the world come every
- 12:38Speaker 4: year and they talk about a variety of different things,
- 12:40Speaker 4: and you know, I feel like it representation is the
- 12:46Speaker 4: only the.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Only option, like, you know, not being there, like not.
- 12:49Speaker 4: Being It's like conversation is still going to take place
- 12:51Speaker 4: whether whether whether we're there or not. So why would
- 12:55Speaker 4: you not want us there? I mean at the very least,
- 12:57Speaker 4: at least we will be able to have some level
- 12:59Speaker 4: of on what's going on and you know, talk to
- 13:01Speaker 4: people and here's what's happening, and that's only going to
- 13:04Speaker 4: benefit Yeah, yeah, for sure. And it's like you know,
- 13:10Speaker 4: people like you know, well, this is where illuminati meets Well,
- 13:13Speaker 4: there's always going to be negative forces. If that's the case.
- 13:17Speaker 4: It's like you know, you go to public school, right
- 13:19Speaker 4: and it's like people smoking weed in the bathroom. Now
- 13:22Speaker 4: you have a decision to make whether you're going to
- 13:24Speaker 4: partake in that or not. But that's where you come
- 13:27Speaker 4: in with integrity and just be who you are, so
- 13:29Speaker 4: you could be who you are in front of any
- 13:32Speaker 4: any level of influence that determines you know, who you
- 13:35Speaker 4: are as a person.
- 13:36Speaker 5: So I think a lot of times we don't.
- 13:38Speaker 4: I think that I think it comes back to just
- 13:39Speaker 4: not having a strong belief in ourselves and we think
- 13:42Speaker 4: we always just think that we're not deep down, it's
- 13:45Speaker 4: an inferiority complex and it's like, oh no, we shouldn't
- 13:49Speaker 4: be there because that's what well, it's like, all right,
- 13:51Speaker 4: well why not, That's exactly what you should be if
- 13:55Speaker 4: hypothetically speaking, this is where all of the world's powerful
- 13:58Speaker 4: people come and they make decisions and they duh, that's
- 14:02Speaker 4: exactly where you should be. But I think it's I
- 14:05Speaker 4: think what I noticed on internet is that it's a trend.
- 14:09Speaker 4: Even we're talking about Africa. When people it was like,
- 14:10Speaker 4: you know, the Africans, they don't they don't like African Americans,
- 14:13Speaker 4: stuff like that, or black people from America. People that
- 14:17Speaker 4: have never been to a place make commentary and they're
- 14:20Speaker 4: influencing people, and they've never been to a place. So
- 14:24Speaker 4: you have somebody that's never been somewhere that's adding commentary,
- 14:28Speaker 4: and then somebody that's listening to somebody that's never been somewhere,
- 14:31Speaker 4: and then now there. So it's like three degrees of separation,
- 14:33Speaker 4: but no degree of actual information.
- 14:36Speaker 5: So it's like it's very it's very high.
- 14:39Speaker 4: It's very hard to actually have a real informed decision
- 14:42Speaker 4: or a real informed opinion if you've never actually been
- 14:46Speaker 4: How can you how can you speak intelligently about something
- 14:48Speaker 4: if you if you have no first hand information on it,
- 14:50Speaker 4: it's difficult. So I just think that we just have
- 14:53Speaker 4: to be a little bit more educated and a little
- 14:54Speaker 4: bit more savvy. And it's like, yeah, I mean, we're
- 14:57Speaker 4: a financial company, so while while would we not be
- 15:01Speaker 4: where the financial heavyweights are at, it's like saying like
- 15:04Speaker 4: CNBC is not gonna be there, Wall Street Journal is
- 15:06Speaker 4: going to be We're not like endorsing an event. We're not,
- 15:09Speaker 4: you know, but we're gonna be there and run into
- 15:12Speaker 4: some some powerful people renting the Robert Smith two times
- 15:15Speaker 4: in a row.
- 15:15Speaker 5: What's the odds of that happening? Right?
- 15:18Speaker 4: You know, this is something that only happens in that
- 15:20Speaker 4: type of environment where you can literally just have an
- 15:23Speaker 4: imprompt to a meeting with the wealthiest black person in
- 15:26Speaker 4: American history. That's because you have to put yourself in
- 15:29Speaker 4: that in environments where those type of people are and
- 15:31Speaker 4: those types of conversations that have in place. So, you know,
- 15:34Speaker 4: I just think that it's important, and you know, I
- 15:36Speaker 4: think that we do a very good job of diversifying
- 15:38Speaker 4: our environments. Went from Ghana to Davos to HBCU to
- 15:44Speaker 4: NBA all start because everywhere everyone you gotta you gotta
- 15:47Speaker 4: be everywhere you gotta every you gotta talk to every
- 15:49Speaker 4: single person. And that's how business is done at the
- 15:51Speaker 4: highest level. And the last thing I'll say about this
- 15:54Speaker 4: is just the relationships is like going back to invest
- 15:56Speaker 4: fast again. And another thing went to the lead world,
- 16:00Speaker 4: went to the fourth party and saw will I am
- 16:03Speaker 4: give a concert? He saw gig shot to gigs and
- 16:07Speaker 4: show cool and dre So this idea that entertainment is
- 16:11Speaker 4: only you know, oh, you just misrepresenting business with uneducated
- 16:18Speaker 4: people and do events and you have entertainers and rappers.
- 16:21Speaker 4: Well we're at Davos and they have rappers entertaining people.
- 16:25Speaker 4: So entertainment, entertainment and the leisure part is actually where
- 16:29Speaker 4: a lot of business gets done. That's actually a major
- 16:32Speaker 4: part of it. As far as the psychology of it.
- 16:35Speaker 4: A lot of stuff happens at nighttime when it's over,
- 16:38Speaker 4: when people are drinking at the bar. So you know,
- 16:41Speaker 4: once again it's just a misinformed viewpoint that's not actually
- 16:45Speaker 4: doesn't really have any relevance because you know, at the
- 16:47Speaker 4: highest level of business, this is this is actually what's happening.
- 16:50Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
- 16:54Speaker 1: in Massachusetts an MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador
- 16:58Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
- 17:02Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
- 17:06Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
- 17:10Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States
- 17:13Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
- 17:18Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
- 17:22Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens.
