• 0:00
  Speaker 1: As far as I believe, there's like thirteen black billionaires
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: in America, you're one of them. It's almost an impossible
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: a feat to accomplish.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, wait, there's no claps for that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: That should be standing to your faith. It's a black billionaire, Kennedy,
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: that's crazy. You know where he's from.
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: Yo.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we can never we can never normalize being a
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: billionaire everyday thing.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: By the way, we know almost all of them. Yeah.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Also true, that's fall. We'll have another one tomorrow.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Vanessa's only Yeah, I want to I want to be
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: careful with that.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Y'all.
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: When they talk about us having money and y'all look
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: at us, it's it's truly an illusion of inclusion.
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: We'll talk.
• 1:03
  Speaker 6: I can't play a part of the illusion of inclusion.
• 1:06
  Speaker 6: So you're looking hair at me like I'm totally included. No,
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: I'm fighting for the same thing I was fighting for
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: when I got into the game.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: But it's at another level. And so and so it's
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: very important to understand. This is the truth.
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: Out of all the billionaires in the world, the world
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: got almost nine billion people in it, there's only sixteen
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: black billionaires. So that's the illusion. So every time. You know, yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: it feels good for one of us to get in,
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: two to get in, But we gotta stop taking the crumbs.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: It's time for way more of us out of a.
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Nine billion, I want two billion to be billionaires.
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: I don't want nothing less for myself or my people.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's why I was gonna ask you, as far as
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: being such in red space, does who do you talk to? Like?
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I know, obviously is you and Jay a few other people,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But what very few people can relate to the challenges,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to the struggles, to the financial different coals, these different
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: things in that nature that happened at that level. Somebody
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: said something that was very interesting to us.
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: One time.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: We were talking about a person that's extremely successful and
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: his former friend, and they like, well, you never think
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: about the winner's perspectives. Everybody always sympathizes with the loser,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But what about the winner? What about things that he
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: has to go through? The trauma that he has? So
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: what is that for you? Knowing that you're one of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: twelve people in America? Like who do you talk to?
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: How's that social circle? How is it being in that environment?
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: What are some of the challenges, Like how does that
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: actually look for you.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, it's definitely lonely. It's not a lot of
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: people to talk to. I mean I talked to Jay
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: or some other friends, but is I mean, when I
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: look at it, I just know the truth that it's
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: not enough wealth being spread around, you know. And so
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: I'm at this point and that's what energizes me. I
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: don't really look at it, you know, as far as like, Okay,
• 3:16
  Speaker 6: I'm a billionaire. I'm more like, you know, my people
• 3:19
  Speaker 6: are not doing good. Yes, I I'm blessed to be
• 3:22
  Speaker 6: a billionaire, but at the same time, you know, if
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: my people aren't doing good, then I can't be settled.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Because we met, We saw to Nas and he was saying, like,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, he's been doing a lot of venture capital
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: investing and he's been killing it. And I'm paraphrasing, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: he was like, the higher up he moves, the more
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: discouraged he gets. Yeah, because he's into different circles now
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and he's aware of information and he's realizing that how
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: much money is out there and how little money we
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: have where he didn't really fully understand that before. So
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting paradigm, right, the higher up you move,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the more discourage you get because you're seeing it from
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: a different pursuit, Like you're seeing it from the mountain
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: as opposed to seeing it from the street.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So just sitting here, this is thirty years of
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: experience of seeing that things at a level that you know,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: most people haven't seen it at.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And so it's important that I tell people the truth.
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: That's why I say, like the time is now, no
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: one is coming to save us, because I'm at that
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: mountain and I'm seeing the oppression that's still at that level,
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: and because they put us in the media like we're
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: doing so good, y'all don't feel that that level of
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: the stoppage of creating wealth. So when it gets when
• 4:38
  Speaker 6: it gets up to that point and we talk about
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: generational wealth, we're fighting just to get like normal wealth.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: But we're so so caught up in like okay, a
• 4:48
  Speaker 6: billionaire or this or that, that we're not understanding that
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: once you get to that level, there's even more there's even.
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: More obstacles that are ahead of you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: How to say my experience in that is I want

• 6:59
  Speaker 7: Member a FDIC, an illegal alien from Guatemala charged with
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: raping a child in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: from Al Salvador accused of murdering a Texas man of
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: Venezuelan charged with filming and selling child pornography in Michigan.
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: These are just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: because of President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom,
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump,
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: attempted illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded,
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested.
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: If you are here illegally, your next you will be
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported.
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: You will never return. But if you register using our
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: CBP home app and leave now, you could be allowed
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: to return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: America's laws, Border and families will be.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Prett sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: I decided like six weeks before the marathon. Yeah, I
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: was crazy. You usually gotta train eight months. I only
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: ran like ten days before, you know, I was partying
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: the days before. And on the tenth mile, I hit
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: a wall and I felt like I was literally gonna die,
• 8:26
  Speaker 6: and I wanted to stop. I hit that level, I
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: hit that ceiling in business, but I had to keep going.
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: So I'm in pain, I'm struggling, but I had to
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: keep going. And that's kind of a metaphor, you know,
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: for my life and for everybody who is in here
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: that's on the road of being an entrepreneur. It's a marathon,
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: not a sprint. You're gonna hit these obstacles, and there's
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: different levels, there's different miles, there's different levels of intensity,
• 9:00
  Speaker 6: and so I was able to make it and finish
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: the marathon, and I was able to kind of take
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: that with me and apply it to business. And so
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: you know, at this point, you know, in the position
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: that I'm in, I had to really look at like,
• 9:21
  Speaker 6: what does you know the next half of my life
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: look like? And I had to really really really look
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: at what I wanted to do and make sure that
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: I finished this marathon the right way because because me
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: just completing the race, that ain't what I want to do.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: I want to win the race. I want to win
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: the race. I want us to win the race.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: It's interesting.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: So it's thirty years of business for yeah, it's fifty
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: years of hip hop. When we met, you looked at
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: us and you said, I love y'all brothers, because what
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: y'all been able to do, we've never been able to
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: do in hip hop.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: And that's make it cool to be educated.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So what I wonder when you look at the landscape
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: from your perspective right because you are at a different level,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: do you feel encouraged about this movement of financial power,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: financial literacy, financial education that you're seeing.
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: I mean, I love what you guys are doing. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 6: love what you guys are doing. The beauty about everybody
• 10:25
  Speaker 6: here is they took that step. Everybody here, y'all took
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: that step. Y'all took accountability to come here and learn
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: give yourselves around them.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Applause.
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: Nobody's hiding the knowledge, just not like no secret conspiracy
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: that they're hiding the knowledge. You have to make a
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: decision that you want to be financially literate. You have
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: to make that decision. And so you know, seeing you
• 10:54
  Speaker 6: guys be successful, being able to support y'all and seeing
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: so many come out, people come out and changing the
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: narrative to the importance of being financially literate, it's something
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: that I gotta honestly say, you guys are responsible for
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: You guys are responsible for that shift.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: So I applaud you on that. Thank you. I want.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: I want to can I circle back to something not
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: because I want to make sure I give you the
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: true answer. So he's talking about levels, and I kind
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: of just got it right now. Even though the levels
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: in the marathon it goes together, but there's a level
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: that you get to and you're successful, and you get
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: to the point of being successful and as a black person.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: There's this thing that kicks in, there's this jealousy that
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: kicks in, there's this fear that kicks in. Then they
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: start to burn things down. Then they start to take
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: the money out the Freedom Bank. Then they go back
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: on the forty acres of the mule. Then we don't
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: deserve our worth. So even Hole Jay, none of us
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: are immune to it. He had to sue Bacardi to
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: get his worth, like they make us at the next level.
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: You think that you've overcome everything, Oh, I finally made it,
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: and then there's a whole another army up there that
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: is there to try to push you down the hill.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: And that's why from being.
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: At the mountaintop, I could come back down and tell
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: y'all the only way out of this is if we
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: can unify and combine our forces.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Because what's waiting for you up there, Yo, that's that's all.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: That's pretty insightful. That's actually ill. That's like a metaphor
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of like you seeing the opposition on on the side,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: and you like, we'reporting back look letting you know what's happening,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Like you can't see it, but I'm actually seeing it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: So to the ground troops we gotta you know what
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I'm saying, like this is actually crazy. That's that's pretty
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: dope that you said that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 13:21
  Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 13:25
