  Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this because I feel like
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: there's a lesson in every story, and there's something that
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you can take from every story and learn from every story.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: And sometimes what we think is reality isn't reality. And
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: it's important for people to know the truth. And it's
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: important for people to learn from other people's experiences because
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: it could potentially happen to you. So a few years ago,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we had a former president, Donald Trump, and it was
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: very controversial when you took a picture with him, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you got a lot of backlash, a lot of hate,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: all conds of negative energy.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: But when we met you, you explained to us the story.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And when you explain to us the story, it was
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: so crazy because it just goes to show you how
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: something can be changed and the narrative can be painted
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and people just run with half of what they see
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: and they don't even understand it.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Can you explain that infamous moment?
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Well, first of all, if I listened to my wife,
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: it wouldn't have been no infamous moment.
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: First lesson, that's the first lesson.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Lesson number one.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: That's number one. But here's what happened. Before he got
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: I had sworn in. He had appointed Ben Carson to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: the head of HUD, and HUD is housing in urban Development.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: It's the only black on the cabinet.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: So I said, let me go up there and meet
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Ben Carson. So when I got to Trump Towers, I
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: went in, sat down to meet with him, and he said,
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: why are you here. I said, I want to meet
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Ben Carson because I have an idea. He got Ben
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Carson on the phone, being Ben Carson talked right away.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I told him the idea I had. I wanted to
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: take some of these schools that they had destroyed and
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: shut down in black neighborhoods, and I wanted to take
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: them and turn them into what I call Vision centers,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: where we would create financial literacy after school programs, you know,
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: and get these young cats off the streets so they
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: have something to do, and then give the parents some
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: financial literacy. He fell in love with the idea. I
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: leave the building. I'm on the elevator. Donald Trump say
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: I'll ride down with you. I said, I beat damn.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: So he gets on the elevator. He riding down with him. Now,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: before I got on elevator, I told the reporters I'll
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: be back over and tell you why I'm here. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: walk up to the reporters. He walks in front of me.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: He the president, to be right, So he walks.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: In front of me. Now I'm standing there. First word
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: out his mouth.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Was we gonna repeal and replace Obamacare.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: I didn't say shit about that. I didn't mention none
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: of that. Then, oh, what you're talking about? Man?
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying. I'm sitting here going I'll
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: beat damn. And all I heard was my wife going,
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: don't go up there yet. So when he left, I
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: stood up and told the reporters what the deal was.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: By the time I got to my car, because this happen,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: and on my sixtieth birthday was that weekend, my wife
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: had a nice trip for me. All I had to
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: do was go get on that damn boat, like she said,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: That's all my ass had to do. But oh, knew
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna go up here for black people before.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: I got in the car. I couldn't believe it. I
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: couldn't believe it.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Man. I was a coon, I was a jigaboot, I
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: was a spook. I was an Uncle Tom. And that
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: shit hurt me to the core because all I do
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: when I wake up is walk out the door as
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: a black man, to represent the black culture, to be
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: something that some young person can look at.
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: And go, yeah, I do it that way.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: My whole hustling grind has been for black people.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: And so it kind of hurt me.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: And so his.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Fast forward turns out the Vision Centers was the only
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: initiative Ben Carson had his entire run. They changed the
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: name of it from Vision Centers to Vision Centers. You
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: can go online look them up. They opened up three
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of them, all the ideas I had given them, they
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: enabled it. Then they asked me to come take a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: picture with being Carson in front of the schools, and
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: I said na, because y'all had ate my ass up
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: so bad before. Y'all ain't getting no more pictures of me.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: My family got attacked and all this here.
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: But that was a.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: Hurtful moment for me because I went up there to
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: get housing and benefit for black people and then they
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: turned on me like that, you know, But I always
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: know how to hang in there. You know. It's kind
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: of like, I know it's a lot of hip hop
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: casts in here, but old school music still registers very
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: deep in my I'm an R and B guy. So
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: there's a song that Temptations had out, and I had
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: to sing it to myself. I know you won't leave me,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: but I refuse to let you go. If I have
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: to beg and plead for your.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: Sympathy, I don't mind, because you mean that much to me.
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: So I just hung in there with black people.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I just stayed in that with y'all's asked because I
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: knew eventually y'all was gonna have to get all right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Well, some of y'all didn't. But it's cool though, But.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I want to ask you about that because when you
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: reach levels of success, especially now, you're gonna get some
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: level of hate online. You're gonna get some level of
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: hate on YouTube, You're gonna get critics, and it has
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: it has an effect on your on your psyche.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So how would you how would you coach people through?
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: What advice would you give to the young people that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: haven't experienced that yet. But they might be in sports,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: they might be in music, they might be entrepreneur, they
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: might be online at some point when that comes, what
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: do you do to just keep going?
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: It's interesting because I was talking to Walker Flocker backstage
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: and he came up to me and said, hey, man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: you don't know what you mean to me. I've never
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: met the brother before and he was saying, you don't
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: know what you mean to me.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: He said, Man, I follow you. I listened to you. Man.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: He said, man, you changed from just a comedian to
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: a real man, and you made me start looking at
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: some things I want to do. And then we shook hands.
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: He was fitting to walk away and he turned around.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: He said, you know what else I like about you? Man?
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: You ain't vengeful. You're not vengeful. And that kind of
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: stuck with me, so I said, how you mean? He said, man,
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: you could come back at so many people. But I
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: don't never see you going out to attack people because
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: I learned a long time ago from a minister. He said,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: stay on the wall. When they throwing rocks at you,
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: stay on wall. If you come down off the wall
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: to address haters and small people see they eye level
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: with you.
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: Now. Now they can.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: Throw the rocks and they hurt. But if you just
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: stay on the wall, what can they do.
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: And you gotta.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Understand some young people about haters. Haters are not decision makers,
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: power brokers, or shakers and movers. They have no determining
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: factor on your life, where you headed, or what God
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: planned for you.
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: Stop giving haters power.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Stop it.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Don't even talk to they ass I don't give it. Look, man,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: I'm sixty five. I don't give a damn what you
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: say about me.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: You ain't.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: You're not stopping nothing. Look what God has for you,
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: it is yours. All God's plans for you, his purpose.
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: If you just open up yourself to them, he gonna
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: make all of them come true. But if you stop
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: and keep addressing haters, you will never be open to
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: your purpose and your mission in life.
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: So my directive is to stay on the wall.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: When they attacked me for whatever, I stay on the
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: wall because they do it all the time, man, especially people.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: I thought I was cool with other celebrities.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: You know, they got little stuff to say, But then
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: I look at their career and they.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Have time to say little stuff. They have time. See.
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: Let me tell you something, man, People is busy. They
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: ain't got time.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Denzel ain't got time talk about me, Magic.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Johnson ain't got time talking about Tyler Perry.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Ain't got time talk about me because they building their empire. Man,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: let me tell you something, man. One time I was
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: sitting to respond to something on the blog. Tyler Perry
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: called me and said, hey, man, what you getting ready
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: to do. I said, I'm going on CNN with Anderson

  Speaker 4: Cooper and I'm straighten this whole thing out in them blogs.

• 10:06
  Speaker 4: your mouth, it's a press conference. You got to know
