- 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: Also, I think it's important to talk about how to
- 1:03Speaker 3: fill fully. What is having a black business really mean?
- 1:07Speaker 3: And even black businesses that sell and it's like, you know,
- 1:12Speaker 3: a lot of times when black businesses sell there's a
- 1:15Speaker 3: tremendous push on social media to call them and sell
- 1:18Speaker 3: out or to you know, and you actually are hurting
- 1:21Speaker 3: the valuations of companies, and your negative comments are costing
- 1:26Speaker 3: people hundreds of millions of dollars because the company is like, Okay, well,
- 1:30Speaker 3: now if I buy a black business, I'm gonna have
- 1:32Speaker 3: to deal with pushback that I don't have to deal
- 1:33Speaker 3: with if I buy a white business. So just that
- 1:36Speaker 3: the evaluation might be five hundred million, but I'm only
- 1:38Speaker 3: paying three hundred million. But what you don't understand, what
- 1:40Speaker 3: you guys are feeling to understand, is that liquidation events
- 1:43Speaker 3: usually are the only time where you can actually get
- 1:45Speaker 3: a large sum of money. Even if you have one
- 1:47Speaker 3: hundred million dollar business, you might be running on thin
- 1:49Speaker 3: margins and you're not really you're not really making that
- 1:51Speaker 3: much money. And if you now, if you get three
- 1:54Speaker 3: hundred million dollars, now you can actually affect change because
- 1:56Speaker 3: it's been it's been actually proven that black people usually
- 1:59Speaker 3: spend money with black people. So now the entrepreneur that
- 2:02Speaker 3: just sold their business for three hundred million dollars is
- 2:05Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna circulate black to the black economy. Somehow
- 2:08Speaker 3: because you'll probably start a new business, right your fund angel,
- 2:13Speaker 3: she's gonna invest in other businesses, she's going to hire
- 2:18Speaker 3: black people. This is going to triculate, and it's going
- 2:21Speaker 3: to be actually more beneficial than if she would have
- 2:24Speaker 3: kept the business, because now she might be only making
- 2:26Speaker 3: a million dollars a year. Right now she gets three
- 2:28Speaker 3: hundred million. We need we need more uber uber rich
- 2:31Speaker 3: black people. We don't have enough outside of sports entertainment.
- 2:34Speaker 3: So it's like a lot of people that's uneducated on
- 2:37Speaker 3: social media with negative comments. You don't you don't realize
- 2:41Speaker 3: how dangerous you are because you actually do have power
- 2:44Speaker 3: because you control social equity. So your your one comment
- 2:49Speaker 3: leads to a domino effect of a thousand comments, and
- 2:53Speaker 3: that that leads to a variety of things that happen
- 2:57Speaker 3: outside of the realm of your understanding. And you're not
- 3:00Speaker 3: able to understand what you're doing, but you're actually having
- 3:03Speaker 3: a very negative effect on black businesses and black economy period.
- 3:07Speaker 3: And just from a negative standpoint of just negative comments,
- 3:09Speaker 3: you know, it's like you just got to be very
- 3:12Speaker 3: careful of using words like oh, sellout, or you did this,
- 3:17Speaker 3: or I'm not supporting anymore. No, it's just it's something
- 3:21Speaker 3: that I think, you know, you just got to be
- 3:22Speaker 3: extremely careful of because without knowing it, you're you're actually
- 3:28Speaker 3: part of the problem.
- 3:28Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're I mean, you're a customer base.
- 3:30Speaker 2: Right.
- 3:31Speaker 5: So if said company is saying that they're going to
- 3:32Speaker 5: buy this company for five hundred million dollars, right, they're
- 3:36Speaker 5: looking at it like, well, if I buy it for
- 3:38Speaker 5: five hundred million and twenty percent of your customer base
- 3:41Speaker 5: as they're long and longer supporting you because I'm buying it,
- 3:44Speaker 5: then the evaluation comes down. So we got to be
- 3:47Speaker 5: mindful of the positions that we're in, right that we
- 3:49Speaker 5: should be feeling like, hey, this is an accomplishment. Yes,
- 3:54Speaker 5: they can now pour it back. They've now reached a
- 3:56Speaker 5: certain level. They can create new funds, they can give
- 3:59Speaker 5: new opportunities other people, rather than saying all the product
- 4:01Speaker 5: is gonna change because you sold it to this company now.
- 4:04Speaker 3: And but people don't realize that most businesses don't even
- 4:06Speaker 3: make it to the second generation.
- 4:08Speaker 4: So what what would you rather have? Would you rather
- 4:10Speaker 4: have it?
- 4:10Speaker 3: Would you rather have a black entrepreneur that starts a
- 4:12Speaker 3: business that sells it for four hundred million dollars, And
- 4:15Speaker 3: like I said, the odds are they'll probably start another business,
- 4:17Speaker 3: or it's gonna they're gonna circulate this money somehow, Or
- 4:21Speaker 3: would you rather them have a business that is successful
- 4:25Speaker 3: that runs into the ground and becomes Jet magazine, because
- 4:29Speaker 3: you're not gonna You're not gonna be able to bail
- 4:30Speaker 3: them out when they when when they're bankrupt, when there's
- 4:34Speaker 3: no longer support, when it's when when people are saying
- 4:36Speaker 3: that they're cordy, now when they become fooble, right, and
- 4:40Speaker 3: now they're saying that, no, they're just cordy, and we
- 4:42Speaker 3: don't we don't want to wear their designs anymore. Now,
- 4:46Speaker 3: where's the where's the support for them?
- 4:49Speaker 4: Right?
- 4:49Speaker 3: Where's the where's the outcry of damn, we should have
- 4:52Speaker 3: supported this company. You're not gonna raise a fund to
- 4:55Speaker 3: give them four hundred million dollars. And that's not it's
- 4:57Speaker 3: not beneficial when they go bankrupt. Nobody's been a it's
- 5:00Speaker 3: in that situation. Nobody benefits when the company gets run
- 5:03Speaker 3: running too the ground. Nobody benefits when the founder dies
- 5:06Speaker 3: and then the kid takes it over and has no
- 5:08Speaker 3: idea what he's doing, and then in five years, it's
- 5:10Speaker 3: going to be going. But that's the life cycle of business.
- 5:13Speaker 3: Business have has a life cite just like just like
- 5:16Speaker 3: people have life cycles. Very few businesses last three hundred years,
- 5:19Speaker 3: five hundred years. Of course, that's very to it, but
- 5:22Speaker 3: it's not. It's not common. It's not it's not common.
- 5:25Speaker 3: So it's like sometimes you got to take a motion
- 5:28Speaker 3: out of it and really think from a from a
- 5:30Speaker 3: rational standpoint.
- 5:32Speaker 4: What are you What are you getting in business for?
- 5:34Speaker 3: You're getting in business to change people lives, to have
- 5:36Speaker 3: a product, but to ultimately make money money, that's the
- 5:40Speaker 3: whole point of it. Yeah, should the founders that get
- 5:44Speaker 3: these large liquidation events, should they be obligated to give
- 5:47Speaker 3: a percentage to the community through investing or reinvesting back
- 5:51Speaker 3: into the company in the same fashion that we have like.
- 5:57Speaker 4: Other entities do.

- 8:48Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
- 8:51Speaker 3: Do you think there should be no obligation towards that,
- 8:53Speaker 3: because sometimes when these events happen, people feel as if, well,
- 8:56Speaker 3: that's great for them, But like, what do I get
- 8:58Speaker 3: out of it?
- 8:59Speaker 4: Nothing? Get you get? You get nothing out of it?
- 9:01Speaker 4: What did you what do you support? The product you
- 9:02Speaker 4: get from buying Nike for one hundred years? This is
- 9:04Speaker 4: the thing.
- 9:04Speaker 3: And get what a reading I said something and he
- 9:06Speaker 3: was like, oh, I never heard a white kid saying
- 9:08Speaker 3: like the first thing he wants to do is buy
- 9:10Speaker 3: his mom house. I never heard a white person ever
- 9:13Speaker 3: get asked what did you do for your community?
- 9:15Speaker 4: Nothing? Did nothing for white community, right.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Like we we put so much pressure, But that's because
- 9:22Speaker 3: the system inherently does for that community, though do for Look,
- 9:27Speaker 3: it's not anybody's responsibility to change the trajectory of a
- 9:33Speaker 3: billion people's lives.
- 9:34Speaker 4: It's gonna happen by accident. That's that's why.
- 9:38Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to get you to say, Like,
- 9:39Speaker 3: if a black person gets rich, it's gonna benefit black
- 9:42Speaker 3: people by accident. Now, whatever they want to do on
- 9:45Speaker 3: top of that is great, but nobody should be held
- 9:48Speaker 3: to this, to this standard of well what did you well.
- 9:51Speaker 4: What did you do? What did you do? Like you
- 9:55Speaker 4: know what I'm saying, Like people asking all the time, like, well,
- 9:57Speaker 4: what did you do for your community? What did you
- 10:00Speaker 4: do for your community?
- 10:01Speaker 2: What are you currently?
- 10:01Speaker 4: You've been there for thirty years? Well I'm not a millionaire. Okay,
- 10:04Speaker 4: you could coach a basketball team.
- 10:06Speaker 3: You can get the money if you have.
- 10:08Speaker 4: You could clean up.
- 10:09Speaker 3: You could just have a cleanup project on Saturday and
- 10:12Speaker 3: just clean up the park.
- 10:13Speaker 4: That doesn't cost anything. You can have a mentorship program.
- 10:18Speaker 4: What did you do?
- 10:19Speaker 3: So? I think that black people have a problem with
- 10:21Speaker 3: a savior. We have a savior problem. There's no savior.
- 10:25Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you. A white savior is
- 10:28Speaker 3: not coming to save us, but a black saver is
- 10:31Speaker 3: not coming to save us either. Nobody's coming to save us.
- 10:35Speaker 3: It's a collective. It's a collective. Once you work as
- 10:38Speaker 3: a collective, then you understand that every person in society
- 10:41Speaker 3: has a responsibility. Every person society has a responsibility. Some
- 10:44Speaker 3: people's responsibilities are bigger than others. But if we look
- 10:47Speaker 3: at it from that collective standpoint, you never see it.
- 10:50Speaker 3: I've never seen a Chinese person ever say like this
- 10:53Speaker 3: is my savior. A Japanese they understand, they understand collectiveness,
- 10:56Speaker 3: and that comes from from the communist standpoint, but they
- 10:59Speaker 3: also they just understand it.
- 11:00Speaker 4: But it's a collective. Do you do your part.
- 11:03Speaker 3: I do my part, and if we all do our part,
- 11:06Speaker 3: then that's how we're gonna rise. As opposed to Michael
- 11:08Speaker 3: Jordan writing a check for fifty billion dollars, where's.
- 11:12Speaker 4: That gonna go? We've seen that happen. Mark Zuckerberg gave
- 11:14Speaker 4: New Jersey one hundred million dollars. What happened.
- 11:19Speaker 3: Charity is not the way. Charity is not A charity
- 11:22Speaker 3: is not a blueprint for success. It's not sustainable. We've
- 11:25Speaker 3: seen this in Africa. How much money has been poured
- 11:27Speaker 3: into Africa. It's not sustainable charity. But we gotta get
- 11:33Speaker 3: out of this mindset of looking for charity. Do for yourself,
- 11:37Speaker 3: help yourself, help your family, everybody help each other. Then
- 11:42Speaker 3: that's that's how everybody's gonna rise together looking for somebody.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Nobody owes you anything, Nobody in life owes you anything.
- 11:49Speaker 3: And I'll be honest with you nine times. At today're
- 11:51Speaker 3: not gonna do anything for you anyway. So you're looking
- 11:54Speaker 3: for somebody to magically sprinkle something that's going to change
- 11:57Speaker 3: your life. So waste the time, so waste the energy.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Not at all.
- 12:02Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not gonna happen.
- 12:03Speaker 3: And then sometimes even if you do do that, it's
- 12:06Speaker 3: not appreciated or title mckickson or betrayal after you give.
- 12:10Speaker 4: Happens, or you didn't or you didn't do enough. O.
- 12:15Speaker 3: Hey, if I gave you something and you switched up
- 12:20Speaker 3: on me, can I get my money back please?
- 12:25Speaker 4: One time?
- 12:31Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 12:33Speaker 4: But what do I know? Rashon? Last question? What do
- 12:37Speaker 4: you say to the people to set you change?
- 12:39Speaker 3: After you went to Divos and you got your reptilian card,
- 12:42Speaker 3: li'sten on a spicy note.
- 12:45Speaker 4: Now we got to look about the other things too, Yes,
- 12:48Speaker 4: shout out to the reptilians out there. The car the
- 12:55Speaker 4: card is presdent. No, that's funny.
- 12:58Speaker 3: You always gott to think bigger than your I never
- 13:00Speaker 3: I never thought of myself even when I was local.
- 13:04Speaker 3: I never thought of myself as a local person. Like
- 13:06Speaker 3: you know, I always thought bigger. So you know, there's
- 13:09Speaker 3: always gonna be negative people in this world. But I
- 13:12Speaker 3: feel like the world is Is is such a big place.
- 13:16Speaker 3: You gotta travel, You gotta do business, you gotta learn culture,
- 13:19Speaker 3: you gotta you know, you gotta do everything like you gotta.
- 13:21Speaker 3: You gotta be in Asia, you gotta be in Africa,
- 13:24Speaker 3: you gotta be in Central America. You gotta talk to billionaires,
- 13:27Speaker 3: you gotta talk to gang members. You gotta talk to
- 13:30Speaker 3: everybody to get a full perspective of life.
- 13:35Speaker 2: Yep.
- 13:37Speaker 4: But I will say this, if you hang around enough
- 13:41Speaker 4: billionaires one day, come on in there. Yeah, no, you gotta.
- 13:46Speaker 4: You gotta just by mistakeout to Neil Davis.
