  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

• 1:00
  Speaker 3: I want to say something that we was having a
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: conversation at dinner yesterday and it's pretty insightful conversation that
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: we had. And you know, when I do these monologue things,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I don't do it every week because I'm not inspired.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I don't want to just talk for no reason, but
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: I do want to talk when I feel like it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: appropriate because we have a platform and it's important to
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: shed light on certain things. So you know, we've been
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: extremely blessed and fortunate to be going to a lot
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: of these different things. We go to the Grammys and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: super Bowl week were everywhere. We're literally everywhere. We like
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: going after the egart at this point, that hasn't been
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: anything that we're not at. But what's concerning to me
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: is like when you think of this word culture, right,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people define our culture for us,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: and we define our culture for ourselves as well. But
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the people that are always nine times out of ten
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: like really focused on celebrated, elevated. It's a small population
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: and they're musicians, they're athletes, and they're entertainers, comedians, different
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: things of that nature. And I don't want to be
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: divisive because rappers are important. Everybody knows how we feel
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: about jay Z and Nas and shot out to meet
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: mill Ran into him, good brother, two chains, good Brother.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Our poets voices are important, but it's lopsided and it's
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: like when people want to do things from other races
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: and they want to involve the culture, they're only involving rappers.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: So it's like, what does that say about what does
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that say about your thoughts on us that the only
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: value add that we can provide is to entertain you,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: because when their peers are around, they're not rappers, they're entrepreneurs,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: they're billionaires, they're titans and industries, they're hedge funds. But
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: then the counterparts for black people are only hip hop artists.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So but it's the same. But the level of respect
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: for the black entrepreneurs are not given on the white side,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: but it's also not given on the black side either.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Because when we champion and when we celebrate nine times
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: out of ten, how we treat the people that have
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: made historical moments in sports and entertainment is way different
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: from the people that have made historical moments in the
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: business world. And we also got to stop normalizing things
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: that are extremely almost impossible to do. So it's like
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: fous for instance, right, it's like, Okay, this whole thing
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: started with an iPhone. We get to a point where
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: we can have invest vests with fourteen thousand people and
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: sell our Royal alberhol and Madison Square Garden. And then
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: it's like, well, people might not be aware, Well they
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: should be aware. You should be aware, because that's like
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: it's negligence if you're not aware, because it's like, okay,
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: if you own a baseball team and you don't know
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that there's top prodigies in the Dominican Republic where you're
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: getting fired because there's really no excuse for the incompetence
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: of not knowing that. So to say, oh, yeah, that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: is cool, they have a pot like it's almost impossible
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to accomplish what we've been able to accomplish, and you're
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: trying to normalize it. But somebody makes a hit record
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and you're running after them like they're Superman. So we
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: can blame white people, and they do have a lot
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: to They do have a lot to explain why they
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: only want a champion hip hop music and why that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: the most most important part of the spectrum. But we
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: also got to look internally at ourselves as well, because
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: why we why do we only celebrate a small portion
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: of what we represent right? Why is that the most
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: important thing? Why are that? Why are those people considered
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: legends and we're considered social media personalities. So this is
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: something that's extremely important because how the world views us
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: is how we view ourselves and how other people are
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: viewing us. And I mean it's cool, And like I said,
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: I don't want to cause the vision because a lot
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: of these guys are our friends and they're important. But
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: at some point we got to just take a take
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a step.
• 5:47

  Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

  Speaker 1: were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

  Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

  Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: And say, okay, what's more important? Is it just to
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: celebrate people wearing weird clothes and doing funny dances? Because
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: when Robert Smith is not getting the same treatment that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: a white billionaires getting. Nobody knew who Don Peoples was
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: until he came on a platform, So even our billionaires
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: are not given the same respect. Because I see people
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: that'll that will they'll do things for other races that
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: are billionaires that they would never do for a black billionaire.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: So it at a certain point in time, the admiration
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: has to turn into two asking questions where it's like, nah,
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: it's not like okay, slutty Vegan, she's pinky is cool,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: like she's a cool entrepreneur. No, she's a she's a leader.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: She needs to be treated the same way that any
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: entertainer is treated or better because I don't care, like
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: Derry Falcon said, I don't care how good you are.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: At some point in time, your career is going to
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: be over. But if you're an entrepreneur, you really changing
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: the dynamic of your of your community. So stop treating
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the entrepreneur like, oh, it's just a cool person to
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: hang around with, or they're doing some cool things. Now
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: stop doing that. Treat the entrepreneur as somebody that is
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the most important person in the whole spectrum because often
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: moves without it, and if not, then we always going
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to be entertaining other people. It's like a circus. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: at some point you have to stop being entertained and
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: really look at things critically and say, okay, if this
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: is really for the culture. The culture is more than
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: sports and entertainment. The culture is media, The culture is entrepreneurship,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: the culture is activism, the cultures politics. These are all
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: important parts of the culture. So if you're trying to
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: uplift the culture, you got to uplift all the voices,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: not just the people that are on TV. It's extremely
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: important point. I just wanted to highlight that, And like
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I said, it's not a divisive thing because these people
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: are important and they've given us motivation, they've given us,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: they've given us inspiration sports and entertainment. But at some
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: point we have to balance the playing field a little bit.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's important for a number of reasons.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: But another thing is, like, for as far as people
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: are thinking we have gone in this space and trail blaze, right,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: if we're not being recognized in some of these spaces,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: what does that say for the everyday entrepreneur who's fighting
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: to get to that spot, right, Like it becomes a
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: place where it's like, yo, they have your recognise guys,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and look how much they've done. But it's important that
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: you said, because not only they're not being recognized, right,
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: our billionaires and our people who are successful in business.
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: They're not even being invited, right, It doesn't need to
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: become the cool thing to even have them there. And
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: you got to sit back and wonder, like, well, why
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: is this happening? Who's making the decision, so, who's sending
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: out these things, and who's creating the atmosphere to have
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: our entertainers there? Do they look like us?
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Shout out to Diddy, Shout out to people that have
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: actually amplified the voices of what we have going on.
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: Listen the entrepreneurial movement. Shout out to Diddy, Shout out
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: to Steve Harvey. There's a lot of people. I don't
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: want to seem like there's nobody said I hate that too.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I don't want to try that narrative out there like
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: all black people are against Like, no, that's not true.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: There's people that's actively helping move the ship forward. But
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: then there's some people that's not. And like I said,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: it might be that some people they're not aware, Well
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: you should be. You should be aware. What else you
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: have to do? Like you said, you got to do
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: more work? How much more can you do? Like that's
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: like saying, okay, look like there's a basketball player that's
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: averaging fifty points a game in college, and they're like, yo,
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: you gotta work.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: How much more can you do? And how much more
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: can you do? The bottom line was it was like, Yo,
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: even if we look at it in the business world, right,
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: even if that analogy of the person in the sports
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: world that's averaging fifthing, you got to do more. If
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the scouting team right, there's going to be like, you
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: might not be away.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: Let's say your schedule is so packed that you're working
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: on so many things that you're not aware there's got
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: to be a scouting team that's telling you this. And
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: if the scouting team's not telling you, then they need
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: to go right because it's too important for you to miss.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: You miss out on a generational thing or generational opportunity
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: that could affect your business for the long run. Absolutely,
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: So you've got to look at it like that, Yo.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: If they're not telling me, if they're not making me away,
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: then why are they around.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: My graduates from my school being forts bad? Drop bag
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: drop Mike Dropdroproft.
