0:00
Speaker 1: Wake that ass up in the morning the breakfast Club.
0:05
Speaker 2: Morning, everybody is j n V Charlamagne de goud. We
0:08
Speaker 2: are to breakfast Club. We got a special guest joining
0:10
Speaker 2: us today, one gentleman. He's running for Stockton City Council
0:13
Speaker 2: District six. He's a friend to the room. You know him,
0:16
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. Jason Lee any other brother is a
0:20
Speaker 2: CEO and owner of Enhance Health. Matt Hermy, Good morning,
0:24
Speaker 2: good morning, good morning. So, uh let's start off with you, Matt.
0:27
Speaker 2: What is Enhanced Health?
0:29
Speaker 3: So enhance SEUTH today is the largest ACA provider in
0:33
Speaker 3: the United States today. Primarily most people don't know that
0:36
Speaker 3: you can get affordable health insurance for free. Around the
0:39
Speaker 3: COVID era, the government put in place a what do
0:43
Speaker 3: you call a low income subsidy. So what we do
0:46
Speaker 3: is we help the underserved and unprivileged population get health insurance. So,
0:52
Speaker 3: for example, this past year, we got about a little
0:55
Speaker 3: bit more than a million policies out to people who
0:58
Speaker 3: never even knew that they can get average for free,
1:01
Speaker 3: nor did they ever have health insurance. So not only
1:04
Speaker 3: do we do that, but we educate these consumers on
1:07
Speaker 3: how to access health care. So a lot of people
1:09
Speaker 3: just run to the emergency room, they run to urgent care.
1:13
Speaker 3: They don't even know that they can get a primary
1:16
Speaker 3: care physician. So not only do we help them get coverage,
1:20
Speaker 3: but then we pair them up with the doctor and
1:22
Speaker 3: really help people get healthy.
1:24
Speaker 2: Now, now, how do people do that? I know a
1:25
Speaker 2: lot of people that actually have to go to emergency
1:27
Speaker 2: room or urgent care when something happens because they don't
1:29
Speaker 2: have a primary physician. So what's the process of gaining
1:33
Speaker 2: a primary physician and for free? So there's no copays
1:36
Speaker 2: in nothing.
1:37
Speaker 3: Depends on your state, depends on the policy and from
1:40
Speaker 3: the policy that you have. But usually yes, usually you
1:44
Speaker 3: will find policies with no copay, but the premium that
1:46
Speaker 3: you usually pay is usually expensive in the prior years,
1:50
Speaker 3: but that would be free to the individual.
1:52
Speaker 4: How how long you've been in the healthcare field and
1:54
Speaker 4: I've been at you into it.
1:55
Speaker 3: I've been doing about healthcare for about fifteen plus years.
1:58
Speaker 3: Always been passionate and and helping people. Always thought health
2:03
Speaker 3: insurance is important. And when found out that we can
2:06
Speaker 3: give coverage now the individuals for free, it really sparked
2:10
Speaker 3: an interest for me to really help people. You have
2:12
Speaker 3: people out there that are our single mothers that are pregnant,
2:15
Speaker 3: you know, diabetes, mental health, special needs kids that need
2:19
Speaker 3: coverage more than anybody, and to not realize that you
2:22
Speaker 3: can't get it, the government is doing a poor job
2:24
Speaker 3: letting people know that this is here to help people.
2:27
Speaker 3: And that's really what my message is is to really
2:30
Speaker 3: spread that amongst the communities. And that's why we partnered
2:33
Speaker 3: with individuals like Jason Lee and some other celebrities and
2:36
Speaker 3: influencers to really help use their platform to spread the message.
2:41
Speaker 5: Before we get into the collaboration, you and Jason got
2:44
Speaker 5: why should somebody choose Enhance Health over other healthcare program?
2:48
Speaker 3: Sure, so in hand self is not competing with any carrier.
2:53
Speaker 3: So what we do basically is we are a brokerage
2:56
Speaker 3: if you want to call it, where we have access
2:58
Speaker 3: to every care you're within the exchange. The exchange is
3:02
Speaker 3: where you go to get coverage. So based on your demographics,
3:05
Speaker 3: your zip code, what medications you may take, well actually
3:09
Speaker 3: give you the information of what's going to be the
3:11
Speaker 3: best policy for that individual. So we're not we don't
3:16
Speaker 3: just say hey, we're going to put you here because
3:17
Speaker 3: we make more money. We place individuals where they should
3:20
Speaker 3: go based on what they need.
3:21
Speaker 2: How difficult is it, you know, as far as age
3:24
Speaker 2: is concerned or pre you know, preconditions like whether it's
3:28
Speaker 2: somebody has CANCEL or HIV or you know they are
3:33
Speaker 2: smoke or one of those things. How difficult is it
3:35
Speaker 2: to place people in places where they can actually get
3:37
Speaker 2: the care that they need.
3:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's a great question. So in prior years,
3:40
Speaker 3: you would go through something called underwriting. Underwriting is where
3:43
Speaker 3: they would turn you down. And ACA they made it
3:47
Speaker 3: so anybody with press and conditions can get approved guaranteed issue.
3:50
Speaker 3: So it's just like anybody if you had no condition
3:53
Speaker 3: or you had a condition, anybody can easily sign up.
3:56
Speaker 4: How did this partnership come together, Jason?
3:58
Speaker 1: So I met Matt, you know, at the Floyd Mayweather
4:01
Speaker 1: Fighter who's one of the sponsors. And then eventually when
4:04
Speaker 1: we had the Hollywood Impact Awards and we were looking
4:07
Speaker 1: for partners that would be able to integrate into the event,
4:10
Speaker 1: understanding that it's about how people that have influence use
4:14
Speaker 1: their platforms to move the culture. We had lunch and
4:16
Speaker 1: when he told me about Enhance and all that he's
4:18
Speaker 1: doing to help our community specifically, he integrated into our
4:23
Speaker 1: award show, came up on stage with Tiffany and I
4:25
Speaker 1: talked about Enhance and what he's doing for our communities.
4:27
Speaker 1: We immediately met after that. And you know my background
4:30
Speaker 1: before entertainment, I spent eleven years with the Labor Union,
4:32
Speaker 1: working with Kaiser Permanente, and I remember when we were
4:35
Speaker 1: going through that process of developing the Thrive campaign. It
4:38
Speaker 1: was really about educating, specifically people of color who look
4:41
Speaker 1: like us, who only go to the doctor when they're dying,
4:44
Speaker 1: that preventative care was important instead of managed care. So
4:47
Speaker 1: how do we prevent diabetes or colon cancer instead of
4:51
Speaker 1: managing it when you get it? And so, as you know,
4:54
Speaker 1: I've been like heavily involved in my process. I lost
4:56
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty two pounds because of you and
4:58
Speaker 1: our relationship. I started being open at therapy and I'm
5:01
Speaker 1: actively participating in it. I feel the change, I see
5:04
Speaker 1: people see the change. And then I recently got my
5:07
Speaker 1: colonoscopy after I found out my dad had found polyps,
5:10
Speaker 1: and they found polyps when they did mine, and so
5:13
Speaker 1: I had three and one of them was I guess
5:18
Speaker 1: I don't know the speak cancers. Yes, And so now
5:20
Speaker 1: I got to go back in three years to get
5:22
Speaker 1: it checked again, and so that kind of scared me.
5:24
Speaker 1: But you know, as you get older and then you
5:26
Speaker 1: get more involved in your process of really wanting to
5:28
Speaker 1: live longer and have a more healthier life experience, you
5:32
Speaker 1: understand that there's a lot of us that may not
5:34
Speaker 1: have the benefits or privileges that some of us where
5:39
Speaker 1: we are in our careers may have. And those are
5:40
Speaker 1: the people, my family members, my friends, people in the
5:42
Speaker 1: hood that I want to make sure they have access.
5:44
Speaker 1: So we sat down and I said, you know what,
5:46
Speaker 1: we need to create a partnership where we can get
5:48
Speaker 1: to the culture where we can where we can do
5:50
Speaker 1: it in a way that the government is unable to
5:52
Speaker 1: do it. So why don't we create a partnership. And
5:54
Speaker 1: that's where we establish healthcare Unlocked. And so we have
5:56
Speaker 1: Hollywood Unlocked, and then we have enhanced health And I said,
5:59
Speaker 1: our tech and is going to be making health care cool,
6:01
Speaker 1: because we should want the young twenty year olds who
6:05
Speaker 1: have health insurance or twenty one year olds or whatever
6:07
Speaker 1: who have health insurance to understand that participating in your
6:10
Speaker 1: health care process isn't when it's too late or when
6:13
Speaker 1: it's almost too late. I had pre diabetes, inflammation, sleep appnea.
6:18
Speaker 1: I was three hundred and twenty three pounds and I
6:20
Speaker 1: was literally on the pathway to a heart attack, and
6:23
Speaker 1: I just didn't want to die. So I took aggressive
6:26
Speaker 1: measures to get healthy. And now we've been able to
6:29
Speaker 1: create a partnership where we can get access for folks
6:33
Speaker 1: who may not have had it before.
6:35
Speaker 2: And not only that, I think a lot of kids
6:37
Speaker 2: when they graduate college, I think the age is twenty
6:39
Speaker 2: two or twenty three when COBRA ends, and COBRA is
6:42
Speaker 2: when you're under your parents' policy and it ends and
6:45
Speaker 2: you have to get your own. And most people don't
6:46
Speaker 2: know how. If they don't have a job, they can't
6:48
Speaker 2: get out. So this could be a perfect way for
6:50
Speaker 2: them to definitely check it out. So I was going
6:52
Speaker 2: to ask you, besides that, is this part of the
6:54
Speaker 2: reason why you're running for a Stockla City Council District
6:56
Speaker 2: six to help people in the neighborhood with things like
7:00
Speaker 2: healthcare jobs. I've seen you want to pick it line
7:02
Speaker 2: the other day. Is that part of the reason why
7:04
Speaker 2: you're doing it?
7:04
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean, you know those folks shout out to
7:06
Speaker 1: OP three, the union that was striking and stocked and
7:09
Speaker 1: striking against the city. Part of that is there in
7:10
Speaker 1: the process of negotiating their benefits with the city. Healthcare
7:14
Speaker 1: in the world of the workforce is a benefit and
7:17
Speaker 1: those benefits are always at stake because those become one
7:20
Speaker 1: of the most significant line items and employer budgets. So
7:24
Speaker 1: that is part of it. But it's also you know,
7:26
Speaker 1: at my kickoff on December eleventh, we're going to have
7:29
Speaker 1: a table there to educate people on healthcare and LOCKED
7:31
Speaker 1: and how to get access. We have a phone number
7:34
Speaker 1: they can call, and we've also taken this partnership beyond
7:37
Speaker 1: just the way. We actually have a whole department at
7:39
Speaker 1: in hands health of agents who are helping to sign
7:42
Speaker 1: people up and helping to navigate through the process. So yeah,
7:45
Speaker 1: this will be a part of my campaign because healthcare
7:47
Speaker 1: is important and my district definitely needs to have access
7:50
Speaker 1: to it.
7:51
Speaker 5: We talked about this earlier, Jason like at the top
7:53
Speaker 5: of the show, Well, this is an interview, so shut up,
7:55
Speaker 5: Charlotte Mane. But do you think you're you're going to
7:58
Speaker 5: be taken serious because of the Hollywood and Locked background,
8:02
Speaker 5: because people associate Jason Lee with mess and messages even
8:06
Speaker 5: though you know I've known you long enough to see
8:08
Speaker 5: the growth, to see the evolution.
8:09
Speaker 4: Do you think others will?
8:11
Speaker 1: You know, we live in a different time right now,
8:13
Speaker 1: where the world took Trump serious even after he said
8:16
Speaker 1: grab them by the vagina, and we've seen that in
8:19
Speaker 1: most cases, cancel culture applies to the culture more than
8:22
Speaker 1: it applies to people that don't look like us. And
8:23
Speaker 1: if a person can fast track his way to the
8:26
Speaker 1: highest office in the country and become the most powerful
8:28
Speaker 1: person in the world, I think anything's possible when it
8:31
Speaker 1: comes to me. I think that the reason why I
8:33
Speaker 1: wanted to come here and love coming here, the reason
8:35
Speaker 1: why I did Simone Sanders show. The reason why I'm
8:38
Speaker 1: allowing black storytellers to interview me is because we're not
8:40
Speaker 1: a mono list, and we're not the sum of one
8:42
Speaker 1: experience or one job. I worked in education, I worked
8:45
Speaker 1: in probation, I worked in healthcare, I worked in community organizing,
8:48
Speaker 1: and so I'm pretty much just showing people another layer
8:51
Speaker 1: to me and now having gone through therapy and understanding
8:54
Speaker 1: the power of my platform, which is why I did
8:56
Speaker 1: the partnership with Hanson Matt the reason why I decided
8:58
Speaker 1: to step into game and to you know, become an
9:01
Speaker 1: elected official because I don't want to say politician, and
9:04
Speaker 1: because I'm not accepting money from you know, the developers
9:08
Speaker 1: in the city or meeting with groups that don't plan
9:10
Speaker 1: for economic development on the south side. If they don't
9:13
Speaker 1: believe that the black and brown kids in South Stockton
9:16
Speaker 1: deserve the same life experience as those on the other side,
9:19
Speaker 1: then they're not for me. You know, I'm in the
9:21
Speaker 1: business of people. Do I think that people are going
9:23
Speaker 1: to come up with mess Yeah? I already got one
9:25
Speaker 1: person that email me and said, I heard you own
9:27
Speaker 1: You own only fans and are only fans model? I'm like, well,
9:30
Speaker 1: only fans is worth eighteen billion dollars and if I
9:32
Speaker 1: was an owner and a model, probably wouldn't be running
9:35
Speaker 1: for public office. But I'm expecting it. But you know,
9:38
Speaker 1: if they know my job, they know that I've pulled
9:40
Speaker 1: up every receipt I can find, and I'm ready for
9:42
Speaker 1: it and I look forward to it. And what would
9:43
Speaker 1: you say to people as sales?
9:44
Speaker 4: Okay, we a match receipt, your seat for receipt? Baby.
9:47
Speaker 1: I mean the person I'm running against right now, I
9:50
Speaker 1: understand yesterday they fought an ethics complaining against her because
9:53
Speaker 1: she uses the city resources for her job. She's a
9:55
Speaker 1: mental health professional. She's literally going to be absent from
9:59
Speaker 1: one of the biggest vote in the city today when
10:01
Speaker 1: we're turning out hundreds of people because they're voting about
10:04
Speaker 1: a warehouse initiative that's going to cause an extreme amount
10:07
Speaker 1: of you know, environmental issues that she has refused to
10:10
Speaker 1: meet with the people about, hasn't showed up, had no
10:12
Speaker 1: town hall, and she's not even gonna be present during
10:14
Speaker 1: the meeting today. So she's one of those people that
10:16
Speaker 1: doesn't she cares more about her position in politics over
10:19
Speaker 1: the people. I've just gone back and now given a
10:22
Speaker 1: bigger platform, a bigger voice, and also outside resources where
10:26
Speaker 1: they're more focused on you know, local district attorney holding
10:29
Speaker 1: them accountable. I'm talking about, Hey, we got the DJ,
10:32
Speaker 1: we got other ways of doing that. I have to
10:34
Speaker 1: give a certain shout out to Brando. He's one of
10:36
Speaker 1: the city council members up there. When I went back
10:38
Speaker 1: to do my nonprofit, he said, why should we support
10:43
Speaker 1: your nonprofit to help these kids who are dying every
10:46
Speaker 1: day and have no opportunity. When you're friends with Floyd Mayweather,
10:49
Speaker 1: and Rihanna, why don't you just ask them for help?
10:51
Speaker 1: And although I am talking to Floyd and Rihanna about
10:53
Speaker 1: help and everybody else, I know, I just felt like
10:56
Speaker 1: that was a loser response to like a crisis that's
11:00
Speaker 1: ripple in the community. And so when I went did
11:02
Speaker 1: my research on him, I found out he allegedly robbed
11:04
Speaker 1: his grandmother. These are the type of people who are
11:07
Speaker 1: leading in the city right now. So you know, all
11:09
Speaker 1: my stuff is out there and I'm the most transparent person.
11:12
Speaker 1: I'm excited about this whole experience.
11:14
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, you know, what do you
11:16
Speaker 2: say to people that say, well, is he taking this serious? Meaning?
11:19
Speaker 2: You know, we always see politicians run, and usually sometimes
11:22
Speaker 2: they run for the right reason to be in office,
11:24
Speaker 2: and sometimes they run to for their side job just
11:27
Speaker 2: just get the recognition. What do you say to people
11:29
Speaker 2: that say, Jason Lee has so many goddamn jobs. He
11:32
Speaker 2: has a show on Revolt.
11:34
Speaker 1: Two months ago.
11:35
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, no, thank you for that. Yes, yes, it's podcast.
11:41
Speaker 2: He has Hollywood Unlocked. He has all these shows that
11:43
Speaker 2: he's doing. He's doing hosting, he's traveling around the world.
11:47
Speaker 2: When we have time to concentrate on Stockton, California.
11:50
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm taking this serious one. I went and got
11:52
Speaker 1: me a home in the city. I made sure to
11:54
Speaker 1: create that as my place of my domicile where I live.
11:57
Speaker 1: I actually moved in and I'm excited to be back
12:00
Speaker 1: in the community. My show is, my job does require
12:03
Speaker 1: me to travel. I think all my global traveling, I'm
12:05
Speaker 1: getting out as soon as I can, because you know,
12:08
Speaker 1: when I win in the primary March fifth, then I
12:10
Speaker 1: have until January first to start. But you know, I
12:14
Speaker 1: have a full staff of people who manage my company.
12:16
Speaker 1: So I have two days that I film and the
12:18
Speaker 1: rest of the time, I'm committed to my nonprofit, Hollywood Cares.
12:21
Speaker 1: I'm committed to health Care and Locked. I'm committed to
12:24
Speaker 1: doing the work there in the city.
12:25
Speaker 4: And are you gonna have to give all that up
12:27
Speaker 4: if you win?
12:27
Speaker 1: No? Absolutely not. No. I just we did have an
12:30
Speaker 1: executive meeting recently where I'm leaning on my staff and
12:33
Speaker 1: like the leadership to really own all of the parts
12:37
Speaker 1: of my business. So Rob Smith, who's my CEO, is
12:39
Speaker 1: in Miami every week all week, you know, leaning on
12:43
Speaker 1: our partners there and enhanced to lead health Care and Locked. Yeah,
12:46
Speaker 1: I think it's a valid question. But I'm welcoming all
12:48
Speaker 1: the questions. I'm welcoming welcoming all the suspicion because what
12:53
Speaker 1: I learned for sure is that we have given up
12:57
Speaker 1: in this political game right now because the right right,
13:00
Speaker 1: the left is too left. It's like we're in the
13:02
Speaker 1: middle of this ping pong match. And so I am
13:04
Speaker 1: glad that people are questioning the process. But I'm also
13:06
Speaker 1: excited at watching how more civically engaged my community is.
13:11
Speaker 1: There's more black and brown people. I mean, one person
13:13
Speaker 1: yesterday drove all the way to the airport to get
13:15
Speaker 1: keys to a property so they can go and put
13:17
Speaker 1: my signs in. I mean, that's how supportive the community
13:19
Speaker 1: is an active in this campaign. So yeah, I welcome
13:22
Speaker 1: all the criticism. We're gonna still win, though.
13:24
Speaker 5: Matt, what are some common mistakes people run into when
13:26
Speaker 5: they're choosing their healthcare programs?
13:29
Speaker 3: You know, most people are going on that do know
13:32
Speaker 3: about insurance because you see the little ads on TV.
13:34
Speaker 3: Healthcare dot Gov's very confusing. You know, you could sit
13:39
Speaker 3: there and spend forty five minutes and I would say
13:41
Speaker 3: most people go to the top writer of your screen
13:43
Speaker 3: to hit the X button. You know, and they're out
13:46
Speaker 3: not choosing the right policy, not making sure that there's
13:49
Speaker 3: coverage for doctors in your area. Just really got to
13:53
Speaker 3: pay attention to what's wrong. You know, what symptoms you have,
13:56
Speaker 3: what medications to be able to pick the right policy
13:59
Speaker 3: for yourself. And that's why we're able to do this
14:02
Speaker 3: in about a twelve to fifteen minute window and somebody
14:05
Speaker 3: calls in and we're able to pick the right policy
14:07
Speaker 3: for you. I would say picking the wrong policy is
14:09
Speaker 3: probably the biggest mistake.
14:10
Speaker 2: And when you're talking health coverage, does your health coverage
14:13
Speaker 2: include eyes in dental?
14:15
Speaker 3: It just depends on you know which carrier it is
14:18
Speaker 3: and what policy. I mean, we work with so many
14:20
Speaker 3: different carriers, every carrier that's offered within the country we
14:23
Speaker 3: have on our platform.
14:24
Speaker 1: And honest, what about Medicaid redetermination because that's a big
14:27
Speaker 1: conversation as well.
14:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you have you have twelve fifteen million people
14:31
Speaker 3: just got kicked off of Medicaid throughout the entire year,
14:33
Speaker 3: and it's happening throughout the year. Most people that had
14:36
Speaker 3: Medicaid didn't even realize that they lost their Medicaid. So
14:39
Speaker 3: it's another another problem. We're currently in the White House
14:42
Speaker 3: and also leaning in on the States on fixing that
14:46
Speaker 3: problem for the country as just a massive issue.
14:50
Speaker 5: Right now, what do you say to people who say
14:51
Speaker 5: they can't afford healthcare?
14:53
Speaker 2: It's free?
14:54
Speaker 3: You know, it's free.
14:55
Speaker 4: Hey, I believe that shut up is free and people
14:58
Speaker 4: don't know that.
14:58
Speaker 5: That's why that's why partner with folks like Hollywood unlocked
15:01
Speaker 5: is good because you can able to find it well.
15:03
Speaker 1: And the other thing that's crazy when you talk about
15:04
Speaker 1: were in the White House. So you know, I remember
15:07
Speaker 1: when I started my when we were at the first
15:09
Speaker 1: Christmas party for the President, and I remember we came
15:11
Speaker 1: back here and Charlemagne was like, Okay, you know, when
15:14
Speaker 1: you get over there and you make those people mad
15:16
Speaker 1: or whatever you don't you know, agree with them, is
15:18
Speaker 1: going to get tricky. You know. The one thing I
15:20
Speaker 1: will say, you're right. The second part I will say
15:23
Speaker 1: is that getting in there and learning the different departments
15:25
Speaker 1: and how the government works and how the government's broken.
15:28
Speaker 1: You know, we did go to the Vice President's house
15:30
Speaker 1: for the fiftieth anniversary of Hip Hop, but then we
15:32
Speaker 1: set up a meeting with cms and hhs who regulate
15:36
Speaker 1: and oversee all the health care in our country. And
15:38
Speaker 1: to see like there's this thing that's available, this healthcare,
15:42
Speaker 1: access to healthcare, free healthcare in our country. And these
15:46
Speaker 1: people have access to the people who are responsible for
15:49
Speaker 1: getting the word out, but there's certain things they can
15:51
Speaker 1: or cannot do in educating people in partnership with us.
15:54
Speaker 1: It has been a really tricky thing. So we're trying
15:56
Speaker 1: to figure out how to truly partner with them. And
15:58
Speaker 1: I've said to the Vice President's team, this is my
16:00
Speaker 1: number one priority right now because I do understand the
16:03
Speaker 1: power of my platform. If I can use it to
16:05
Speaker 1: promote blue Face and Krashan all day, I could also
16:08
Speaker 1: use it to promote getting people healthy, especially people who
16:11
Speaker 1: look like us. So, you know, there's a lot of
16:12
Speaker 1: yellow tape, but I'm confident that, you know, the folks
16:15
Speaker 1: over at the White House are going to figure out
16:17
Speaker 1: how to cut through that so we can get to
16:18
Speaker 1: the people.
16:18
Speaker 5: How come people don't know healthcare is free because you
16:20
Speaker 5: always hear about it. You know, people just want an
16:22
Speaker 5: affordable health health care plan that everybody always says.
16:25
Speaker 4: They want it affordable. But how come people don't know
16:26
Speaker 4: it's actually free.
16:27
Speaker 3: Well, it's up to the government to put that message
16:29
Speaker 3: out there. And how is the government advertising that health
16:32
Speaker 3: insurance is free and they're really not. That's really what
16:35
Speaker 3: the what the problem is. You know, you have to
16:37
Speaker 3: let the people know what's going on for the people
16:39
Speaker 3: to know that it's there. You know that you have
16:41
Speaker 3: the option to.
16:42
Speaker 1: Do so well. And another thing too, like one of
16:44
Speaker 1: the things we said to them on the call with
16:45
Speaker 1: CMS is, you know, on the same day that Cardi
16:48
Speaker 1: b has told me she's going to jump in the
16:51
Speaker 1: campaign and support it and do this for free, just
16:53
Speaker 1: to use her platform to educate people, especially that New
16:56
Speaker 1: York is right around the corner to being one of
16:59
Speaker 1: the states that you are helping to make sure the
17:02
Speaker 1: people of New York can get signed up. I said,
17:04
Speaker 1: it is the same day she just put the administration
17:06
Speaker 1: on blast for defunding education and funding a war. And
17:09
Speaker 1: so you all can't get to the but you can't
17:11
Speaker 1: pay the people that we have relationships within the culture
17:14
Speaker 1: to push your program. But we're partnering with people to
17:16
Speaker 1: help them push an initiative that is your thing. So
17:19
Speaker 1: how is it that you can't figure it out? And
17:20
Speaker 1: I keep trying to explain to these people that you
17:23
Speaker 1: have to listen to us and That's the one criticism
17:25
Speaker 1: that I have of this administration I really believe in specifically,
17:29
Speaker 1: it has to have to land this plane at Kamala's
17:31
Speaker 1: front door because her team has failed to take an
17:34
Speaker 1: opportunity to connect with culture drivers, culture disruptors, to be
17:38
Speaker 1: creative and how we reach the people. If the breakfast club,
17:41
Speaker 1: Hollywood on log shade rooms, ball alers, neighborhood talk about
17:43
Speaker 1: all those platforms are the vein of what everybody's helling
17:46
Speaker 1: out online. How do you not make it a priority
17:49
Speaker 1: before election day or the election process to tap into us.
17:53
Speaker 1: The other thing, I'll say, the DNC and d Triple C.
17:55
Speaker 1: You have the reason what one point three billion dollars
17:58
Speaker 1: in this administration's campaign. So you need to tell me
18:01
Speaker 1: that in every state around the country where the lack
18:03
Speaker 1: of access to medicaid or healthcare or voter whatever voter,
18:07
Speaker 1: the ability to protect the vote is at a top priority.
18:11
Speaker 1: You're spending less than one percent of advertising with black
18:14
Speaker 1: owned media. That's crazy, that's insane. But when you show up,
18:18
Speaker 1: you know when they say we did it, Joe, it's
18:20
Speaker 1: the black vote. The Simone Sanders and the Kamala Harris
18:23
Speaker 1: who put their faces out there to drive us to
18:26
Speaker 1: the pole or to drive us to the election of
18:28
Speaker 1: the ballot box. But then after that, then what nothing matters?
18:32
Speaker 1: You know. So when you wonder why people are excited
18:36
Speaker 1: about Trump, it's because he's out there being disruptive for
18:40
Speaker 1: his interest, and I feel like they need to be
18:42
Speaker 1: a little bit more creative and disruptive in ours.
18:44
Speaker 4: Is shoved it for his interest, is shoved off for
18:45
Speaker 4: his people.
18:46
Speaker 1: Yep.
18:46
Speaker 2: You know, we appreciate you guys for joining us. Tell
18:49
Speaker 2: them how they can get in touch with you and
18:51
