  1. 0:00having um the real conversations. And so
  2. 0:02now
  3. 0:04that we are on the road to uh making
  4. 0:08things happen um let's move from history
  5. 0:13to power
  6. 0:15and because the banner conversation is
  7. 0:17really about one thing and that's who
  8. 0:19controls the story. So, this is about
  9. 0:23Katanji Brown Jackson, and what she's
  10. 0:26saying is that the Supreme Court risk uh
  11. 0:29being political after the quote unquote
  12. 0:31voting rights decision, which I
  13. 0:33personally don't think is a voting
  14. 0:34rights decision. So, let me make
  15. 0:36something clear. When people hear
  16. 0:38redistricting, they zone out. That's
  17. 0:39because America has a beautiful way of
  18. 0:41making uh theft of power sound like
  19. 0:43paperwork. Redistricting sounds boring.
  20. 0:46Gerrymandering sounds technical. Voting
  21. 0:48rights sounds like something your civics
  22. 0:50teacher said before lunch. And there's
  23. 0:52so much more to that. So, let me make
  24. 0:54this extremely simple. If I can redraw
  25. 0:57the map, I can decide how much your vote
  26. 0:59matters. That's the hustle. That's the
  27. 1:02trick. But the part they don't like to
  28. 1:04explain is why everybody's yelling vote,
  29. 1:06vote, vote. And listen, I still believe
  30. 1:08voting matters. When I'm done here, I'm
  31. 1:10I'm going to the laundry mat because my
  32. 1:11daughter needs to wash some things, but
  33. 1:12I'm also going to go vote. But I believe
  34. 1:14grown people should understand the
  35. 1:16machinery behind the vote. Because if
  36. 1:17you tell people to vote, then the
  37. 1:19districts get carved up like
  38. 1:20Thanksgiving turkey because people want
  39. 1:22to have political incentives, then we
  40. 1:24need to talk about that. Now, I'm going
  41. 1:26to say the part that makes both sides
  42. 1:27very uncomfortable. Republicans
  43. 1:30gerrymander the hell out of the map.
  44. 1:33Democrats gerrymander the hell out of
  45. 1:34the map. Both parties draw maps to
  46. 1:36protect their own power. So, we need to
  47. 1:38stop acting like this is a one side one
  48. 1:40side discovered sin Tuesday when this is
  49. 1:43a deeper issue. And a question for black
  50. 1:45people is are these districts being
  51. 1:47drawn to collect black uh to protect
  52. 1:48black political power or are they being
  53. 1:50drawn to protect party power while the
  54. 1:54um while other voters are using it and
  55. 1:57other parties are using it for
  56. 1:58decorations. That's not the same thing.
  57. 2:00And I know some folks don't want to hear
  58. 2:01that. They want to hear that every
  59. 2:03voting rights conversation is reduced to
  60. 2:05Republicans bad, Democrats saviors. Nah,
  61. 2:09sorry. That's childish. Nope. That's not
  62. 2:13analysis. Nope. That's basically a
  63. 2:16political coloring book. That's the
  64. 2:17logic you're coming at this with. What
  65. 2:19black people need to ask is, does this
  66. 2:21map increase our leverage? Is this map
  67. 2:23beneficial, or does it just put somebody
  68. 2:26that we vote for 92% of the time in
  69. 2:29power so that they can make more money?
  70. 2:30or does it give us actual bargaining
  71. 2:32power? Does it create another safe seat
  72. 2:35for somebody who comes around once
  73. 2:37election season starts rolling, eats a
  74. 2:39piece of fried catfish with the white
  75. 2:41wonderbread, you know, misquot MLK and
  76. 2:44then disappears until the next campaign
  77. 2:46cycle because personally, and this is me
  78. 2:49speaking personally, I'm a little tired
  79. 2:51of symbolic representation with no
  80. 2:53return on investment. And yes,
  81. 2:55representation absolutely matters. But
  82. 2:57representation without results is a
  83. 3:00framed picture in a burning house. So
  84. 3:03the question is not simply is there a
  85. 3:06black district? The question is, does
  86. 3:08that district produce power for black
  87. 3:11people?
  88. 3:13Period. Point blank. And um I see um I
  89. 3:19see what what I'm seeing right now is
  90. 3:22there seems to be somebody in the chat
  91. 3:23that has something to say. Uh Mary
  92. 3:26Bridges 9243.
  93. 3:29Um let's start the clock on this this
  94. 3:32stiff wig heer.
  95. 3:34Let's start the clock.
  96. 3:36Bring your punk ass on up here since you
  97. 3:38want to be disrespectful. Bring your
  98. 3:40tired um Men's Warehouse Lane Bryant
  99. 3:44jacketw wearing ass up here.
  100. 3:47Come on.
  101. 3:49Come on.
  102. 3:51The show The show's until 12. You have
  103. 3:53exactly three minutes. You got three
  104. 3:55minutes to bring your ass up here. But
  105. 3:57you won't because you going to tell
  106. 3:59somebody um shut up.
  107. 4:04Burn.
  108. 4:06Why? Why ain't y'all Why ain't y'all Why
  109. 4:07ain't y'all coming up here? So, who who
  110. 4:10you uh who are you talking to?
  111. 4:13My 80-year-old mother don't talk to me
  112. 4:15like that. My children know better than
  113. 4:17talk to me like that. My wife don't talk
  114. 4:19to me like that. So, who the hell is you
  115. 4:22looking like a third place runner up in
  116. 4:24an Aunt Esther lookalike contest if you
  117. 4:26don't bring your narrow tired ass up
  118. 4:28here?
  119. 4:30The link is right there.
  120. 4:33Come on, Cletus.
  121. 4:38Come on. Come on to the front of the
  122. 4:41congregation. Since I need to shut up,
  123. 4:43why don't you come up here and shut me
  124. 4:44up?
  125. 4:46No, don't put her in timeout yet. She
  126. 4:47still got another two minutes, but she
  127. 4:48won't come.
  128. 4:51She won't come because that's what y'all
  129. 4:53do. Y'all y'all talk
  130. 4:56from a showotional perspective. Why
  131. 4:58don't you go over to Roland Martin's
  132. 4:59channel so you can get all the butter
  133. 5:01biscuits you need?
  134. 5:04And I I think so too. But I'mma get back
  135. 5:06to what I was saying. If by
  136. 5:1011:18 she ain't up here, boot her ass
  137. 5:12out, mods. Do we have safer
  138. 5:15neighborhoods? Do we have stronger
  139. 5:16infrastructure? Do we have better health
  140. 5:18care, more ownership, or are we just
  141. 5:20clapping because somebody who looks like
  142. 5:22us got elected and did absolutely
  143. 5:25nothing but take professional photos in
  144. 5:28a navy blue suit? That's the question.
  145. 5:31We've got to start maturing politically
  146. 5:33because voting is not the end of
  147. 5:35citizenship. Voting is the receipt. So
  148. 5:38if you have a receipt,
  149. 5:41you have to ask to you have the right to
  150. 5:43ask for what it brought. And that's why
  151. 5:44this matters. So when the Supreme Court
  152. 5:46makes decisions around maps and
  153. 5:48districts and voting rights, they're not
  154. 5:49just making legal decisions. They are
  155. 5:52shaping the battlefield.
  156. 5:54And black people need to stop walking on
  157. 5:56the battlefields with vibes, slogans,
  158. 5:59and uh master Timberland level remix of
  159. 6:02we shall overcome. We need to stop with
  160. 6:05the party loyalty. We need strategy. We
  161. 6:07need demands. We need accountability. We
  162. 6:10need to understand the rules before we
  163. 6:13start going around celebrating playing
  164. 6:15the game because power don't care
  165. 6:17whether or not you participated. Power
  166. 6:19cares whether you can negotiate. And so
  167. 6:21the question I want to ask today is very
  168. 6:23very simple. Are black voters being
  169. 6:26empowered or are we being managed?
  170. 6:29Because if every election cycle ends
  171. 6:31with somebody telling us this is the
  172. 6:33most important election of our lifetime.
  173. 6:35It's so critical but nothing has changed
  174. 6:37in our lifetime then somebody is selling
  175. 6:39us fear wholesale and delivering
  176. 6:41progress retail and I'm done buying it.
  177. 6:44So yeah, pay attention to the Supreme
  178. 6:46Court, pay attention to redistricting,
  179. 6:48pay attention to voting rights, but do
  180. 6:51not just ask, "Well, which party
  181. 6:52benefits?" Ask, "Do black people
  182. 6:55benefit?" Because if we're not asking
  183. 6:57that question,
  184. 6:59we're not doing politics.
  185. 7:02We're doing group therapy with campaign
  186. 7:04slogans.
  187. 7:08So, are voting rights conversations
  188. 7:10really about power, or are they mostly
  189. 7:11about party control? Let's talk about
  190. 7:13it. Um, let's see here.
  191. 7:25I'm trying to check out the comments
  192. 7:26here. Make sure I didn't miss any super
  193. 7:28chats. Teezy said, "I smell bot." Yeah.
  194. 7:32Did y'all boot her ass up out of here?
  195. 7:33Cuz obviously she ain't about that life.
  196. 7:35But I'm really curious as to know what
  197. 7:37y'all think about that. Uh, Art says,
  198. 7:39"Eft them parties. It's time for our
  199. 7:41own. That's how we get them tangibles.
  200. 7:43Dave, I I'm going to tell you this. And
  201. 7:45here's I I partially disagree with that.
  202. 7:48And I'm going to tell you why.
  203. 7:54A third party don't do anything.
  204. 7:57Having a third party that says they're
  205. 7:59about black people is like having a
  206. 8:01Congressional Black Caucus. you are
  207. 8:02inviting an opportunity for tethers to
  208. 8:05come on here and bust it up
  209. 8:08and not really take into account
  210. 8:11what we need.
  211. 8:15And and that to me is very very
  212. 8:16dangerous. It's very very irresponsible.
  213. 8:20I don't like it.
  214. 8:24And I'm trying to figure out at what
  215. 8:26point do we really start going for the
  216. 8:29bad
  217. 8:33real rap?
  218. 8:36That's just where I am with it. Um, let
  219. 8:38me know if you guys have any uh uh oh,
  220. 8:41true am says, what up? Trueer says, um,
  221. 8:44do black people fear being independent?
  222. 8:47I think we should we should definitely
  223. 8:48have like so for example um there has
  224. 8:52been a tea party there has been MAGA
  225. 8:56right those are sections of a greater
  226. 9:00political party or you know a party that
  227. 9:02tends to lean one way or the other I
  228. 9:04think that's the stance we need to take
  229. 9:05I think foundational black Americans
  230. 9:07specifically should focus on you know in
  231. 9:11independent growth but back the
  232. 9:13candidates who fit the real black agenda
  233. 9:16And I don't just mean my book. I mean
  234. 9:18the actual real black agenda, whatever
  235. 9:20that is. And so,
  236. 9:23you know, that's where I am with it,
  237. 9:26you know. So, that's that. And yeah,
  238. 9:28Black Wall Street is cool, but we need
  239. 9:30to go beyond that because I'm tired of
  240. 9:31that being used as a buzzword and I'm
  241. 9:33seeing it on t-shirts and that really
  242. 9:34starts to bother me, which again is a
  243. 9:38whole another kettle of fish,
  244. 9:40you know. And I want to talk about
  245. 9:43something that I think um is extremely
  246. 9:48important. And so this one is more about
  247. 9:53the thing that nobody likes to talk
  248. 9:55about. The thing that I I want to have a
  249. 9:57real conversation about right now is
  250. 10:02let's talk about black economics.
  251. 10:06We got to talk about black economics.
  252. 10:08It's extremely important. Okay? Because
  253. 10:11what's happening in the black economy in
  254. 10:142026
  255. 10:16is the numbers that do not care about
  256. 10:18your feelings, do not care about your
  257. 10:20political affiliations, do not care
  258. 10:21whether or not you think Kamla washes
  259. 10:23her greens in the bathtub. None of that
  260. 10:25matters. What does matter is what we
  261. 10:28need to talk about and that's the whole
  262. 10:32economic play. So let's talk about this
  263. 10:34money because every time America says
  264. 10:37the economy is doing fine, black America
  265. 10:38need to ask one question.
  266. 10:41Fine for who? Uh because the national
  267. 10:43numbers and the black numbers are
  268. 10:45usually two different movies. Right?
  269. 10:47America will say unemployment is low.
  270. 10:49Then you look at black unemployment and
  271. 10:52then [clears throat] you start to
  272. 10:52realize we are watching the director's
  273. 10:54cut with super extra struggle on top.
  274. 10:57And that matters because economics is
  275. 10:59not abstracts. Economics is rent.
  276. 11:01Economics is groceries. Economics is car
  277. 11:04notes. Economics is whether somebody can
  278. 11:05afford uh to take care of their kids and
  279. 11:07still sleep at night.
  280. 11:10Economics is whether or not your
  281. 11:12business has customers with money or
  282. 11:13customers with stress and a wish list.
  283. 11:16And here's the part that entrepreneurs
  284. 11:18need to understand, right? Because I
  285. 11:20mean I am an entrepreneur. Your audience
  286. 11:22does not buy from your imagination. They
  287. 11:24buy from their reality.
  288. 11:27So, if you're a coach, a consultant, a
  289. 11:29creator, a speaker, an author, or a
  290. 11:31business owner, you can't build your
  291. 11:33offer around fake prosperity. You have
  292. 11:36to understand the pressure that people
  293. 11:37are under because a lot of people are
  294. 11:39not lazy, they're exhausted.
  295. 11:43Teasy says, "Dave, you might as well do
  296. 11:46a sit down read along with a real black
  297. 11:48agenda at this point, bro.
  298. 11:51I'll do that for I'll do that for
  299. 11:53members or I'll do that for uh you know
  300. 11:56whoever contributes and matter of fact I
  301. 11:57will do a reading and breakdown point by
  302. 12:00point live this Sunday uninterrupted of
  303. 12:04the real black agenda from beginning to
  304. 12:06end and I will answer any questions if
  305. 12:08we get the uh 4K camera the 4K camera
  306. 12:11goal is $500. So, if we get people to
  307. 12:14donate up to $500 via Cash App this
  308. 12:18Sunday, you will be invited to a private
  309. 12:21reading of the Real Black Agenda. You
  310. 12:24can ask any question. So, dollar sign
  311. 12:26the business bully. Y'all go ahead and
  312. 12:28let's make that happen. All right. So,
  313. 12:30no, I like that. I like that comment,
  314. 12:31TZ. That's what's up. But yeah, folks
  315. 12:33are are working. They're hustling.
  316. 12:35They're they're they're they're trying.
  317. 12:37They're being financially jumped by
  318. 12:39inflation and debt, stagnant wages,
  319. 12:41rising rent, a job market that keeps
  320. 12:43pretending opportunity is evenly
  321. 12:45distributed when it is not. And that's
  322. 12:47where them fake gurus get dangerous. I'm
  323. 12:49talking to you, Cheyenne Bryant. I'm
  324. 12:50talking to you, Michael Eric Dyson. I'm
  325. 12:52talking to you, uh, Mark Lamont Shill,
  326. 12:54because they'll tell people, "You're
  327. 12:56broke because of your mindset. Stormmy
  328. 12:57Wellington got to do 20 years of, uh,
  329. 12:59probation from the FTC, from scamming
  330. 13:02y'all, and y'all told me I was
  331. 13:03everything but a hater." No, no, no, no.
  332. 13:05You're not broke because of your
  333. 13:06mindset. Sometimes people are broke cuz
  334. 13:09the economy is treating them like a
  335. 13:10piñata, beating them until they bust.
  336. 13:14Mindset matters, don't get me wrong, but
  337. 13:16mindset does not lower the rent. Mindset
  338. 13:18does not reduce interest rates. Mindset
  339. 13:21doesn't stop making the groceries act
  340. 13:22like they got a record deal. So, we need
  341. 13:25to be honest. Yes, personal
  342. 13:27responsibility matters. Yes, discipline,
  343. 13:30of course, it matters. Yes, skill
  344. 13:32building matters. I push that. Yes,
  345. 13:34entrepreneurship matters. I'm an
  346. 13:35entrepreneur. But we can't pretend that
  347. 13:37structural economics don't exist. That
  348. 13:39is some childish is that is unserious.
  349. 13:42And that's how people start selling
  350. 13:44motivation to people who need math.
  351. 13:47And that's why I tell entrepreneurs,
  352. 13:49your business has to solve a real
  353. 13:51problem. Not a cute problem, not a
  354. 13:54vision board brunch, not a motivational
  355. 13:56poster problem, a real problem. People
  356. 13:59are stressed. People need income. People
  357. 14:02need systems. People need clarity.
  358. 14:04People need to make better decisions.
  359. 14:07People need to stop wasting money on
  360. 14:09things that make them feel productive
  361. 14:11while keeping them broke.
  362. 14:15And let me say this directly. If you
  363. 14:17cannot explain what your business does
  364. 14:19and how it helps people survive, grow,
  365. 14:21earn, save, build, or become more
  366. 14:22powerful, you're just going to continue
  367. 14:24to struggle.
  368. 14:28Oh yeah. Let's see here. Oh, I don't
  369. 14:32understand how these trolls are getting
  370. 14:33in. Juicefree says, "You're broke." By
  371. 14:34the way, that's yo, u apostrophe re e.
  372. 14:39Okay, see that? You are. You're is a
  373. 14:43combination of you and r. Your is a
  374. 14:47possessive, but of course, you fell
  375. 14:48asleep in English class because your
  376. 14:50name is Juicefree. Anyway, um you you're
  377. 14:52broke because you're financially
  378. 14:53irresponsible. Look at your wall. Uh
  379. 14:55dumbass. That was a gift. Um that cost
  380. 14:58me $3 on Etsy. That was that
  381. 15:00Stormbreaker uh was a gift. Um, so were
  382. 15:04these posters. So again, what the [ __ ]
  383. 15:06are you talking about? By the way, my
  384. 15:07house is paid for.
  385. 15:10Who's your landlord, [ __ ]
  386. 15:15And everything on this wall is at least
  387. 15:16five to six years old. So again, mind
  388. 15:20your [ __ ] business, shut the [ __ ] up,
  389. 15:24or come up here and talk your [ __ ]
  390. 15:27Juice Free is about to get booted and
  391. 15:29banned if Juice Free don't bring their
  392. 15:31narrow ass up here. But I I got a funny
  393. 15:33suspicion that Juice Free is either a
  394. 15:35bot or a troll or both.
  395. 15:44Yep. Art says, "I believe in taking care
  396. 15:47of the people and they will take care of
  397. 15:49you." That's it.
  398. 15:51I don't know how you missed it, Teezy.
  399. 15:54Cool. Again, clock started, you raggedy
  400. 15:56[ __ ] Bring your ass up here. You have
  401. 16:01Looks like uh 2 minutes and
  402. 16:0537 seconds.
  403. 16:09So again,
  404. 16:12back to the program.
  405. 16:18In this country, vague inspiration ain't
  406. 16:20enough.
  407. 16:21People do not need another six-f
  408. 16:23figureure mindset webinar from somebody
  409. 16:24whose biggest asset is a ring light and
  410. 16:26audacity. On my next album, I got a song
  411. 16:28called Auntie Got a Ring Light. They
  412. 16:29need receipts. They need structure. They
  413. 16:31need a path. And that's why black
  414. 16:32entrepreneurship matters. Not because
  415. 16:35everybody should just quit their job
  416. 16:36tomorrow and start selling digital
  417. 16:39planners cuz that in and of itself just
  418. 16:41how about no. All right. We got enough
  419. 16:43Canva millionaires with unpaid light
  420. 16:45bills. Real rad. What up, April Showers?
  421. 16:48Black entrepreneurship matters because
  422. 16:50ownership gives us options.
  423. 16:52Ownership gives us leverage. Ownership
  424. 16:54gives us the ability to build asset
  425. 16:56instead of just begging for access. But
  426. 16:59entrepreneurship without education is
  427. 17:01expensive confusion. And that's why I
  428. 17:02coach the way I coach. Uh because I'm
  429. 17:05not interested in telling people fairy
  430. 17:07tales. I'm not interested in blowing
  431. 17:08smoke up your ass and telling you it's
  432. 17:10baby powder. I'm interested in helping
  433. 17:12people build businesses that can
  434. 17:13withstand reality because reality is
  435. 17:15undefeated. You can ignore reality. You
  436. 17:17can post through reality. You can put a
  437. 17:19quote over a picture of a Bentley you
  438. 17:21rented for 90 minutes, but reality will
  439. 17:24still show up with invoices. So here's
  440. 17:26the economic truth.
  441. 17:28If black unemployment is higher, black
  442. 17:31wealth is lower. If black households are
  443. 17:33under more pressure, if black businesses
  444. 17:36are underfunded,
  445. 17:38then our strategies got to be sharper.
  446. 17:41We can't afford sloppy business. We
  447. 17:43can't afford emotional spending. We
  448. 17:46can't afford fake mentorship. We can't
  449. 17:49afford to confuse popularity with
  450. 17:51profitability.
  451. 17:53And we definitely cannot afford to keep
  452. 17:54celebrating people who look successful
  453. 17:57but can't explain how the business
  454. 17:59actually works. And uh Juice Free just
  455. 18:01got banned. Uh because in this economy
  456. 18:04being broke is already hard enough.
  457. 18:05Being broke and delusional is a
  458. 18:07subscription plan for disaster that you
  459. 18:08should never sign up for. So my message
  460. 18:10is stop asking if the economy is good.
  461. 18:12Ask if your household is strong. Ask if
  462. 18:14your business is useful. Ask if your
  463. 18:16skills are valuable. Ask if your offer
  464. 18:19actually solves a real problem. Because
  465. 18:21if your money don't have a mission,
  466. 18:23national headlines ain't going to pay
  467. 18:24your bills. Strategy does. So my
  468. 18:27question is, are people struggling
  469. 18:30because the economy is bad, because they
  470. 18:32lack strategy, or because both things
  471. 18:34are true at the same time? I I really
  472. 18:36want to hear your opinions on this. And
  473. 18:39um Hell yeah,
  474. 18:41that's how that goes. Yeah. No, we
  475. 18:43didn't got the juice up out of here.
  476. 18:44Ain't nobody playing with you.
  477. 18:47Yeah. They always want they always want
  478. 18:50um me to tell them a pretty ass lie.
  479. 18:53Unfortunately, I I don't really do that.
  480. 18:57It's just a thing for me.
  481. 19:00It's just not something I'm a big fan
  482. 19:01of. Um let's see here. Southern Lady
  483. 19:04Brown said, "Both things are true at the
  484. 19:05same time with the economy and our
  485. 19:07behaviors." That is a fact.
  486. 19:11Let's see here. Those are rugged
  487. 19:12individualism concepts they do not
  488. 19:14understand. That's also a fact. Um, make
  489. 19:18sure you guys check out
  490. 19:19mycreditscrub.comday.
  491. 19:21Want to make sure that y'all go there,
  492. 19:22especially if you're trying to um, get
  493. 19:24your credit right. Um, yeah. By the way,
  494. 19:27um, that's where I that's where I am
  495. 19:28with that. I also, um, want to talk
  496. 19:32about
  497. 19:35AI because I hear a lot of people
  498. 19:37bitching and moaning about AI.
  499. 19:40And for me,
  500. 19:43it's uh extremely important that we had
  501. 19:45a conversation about um AI and what that
  502. 19:49looks like because y'all keep talking
  503. 19:51about um how can I put it? Everything's
  504. 19:55coming and take. They're only taking low
  505. 19:56skill jobs and that bar of what is a
  506. 20:00low-skilled job is changing every single
  507. 20:03day.
  508. 20:04And I want us to really have that
  509. 20:06conversation because a lot of times
  510. 20:08we're not look looking at what is going
  511. 20:12on. We're looking at what we think uh
  512. 20:15makes sense. So let's let's go ahead and
  513. 20:16get into the conversation about AI
  514. 20:18because every week there's a new AI
  515. 20:20tool, there's a new update, there's uh a
  516. 20:23new platform, and we're not really
  517. 20:26having um the real conversation. So, you
  518. 20:31know, let's let's talk about it. Now
  519. 20:33again, old school is not a marketing
  520. 20:35system. Old school is what people say
  521. 20:37when they're uncomfortable uh learning
  522. 20:39things that could obviously help them be
  523. 20:42better. And an anthropic wants people to
  524. 20:45adopt Claude. You know what I'm saying?
  525. 20:47And and to me, that's extremely
  526. 20:49extremely extremely important, right?
  527. 20:52This stuff ain't just for tech bros.
  528. 20:53It's not just for coders. It's not just
  529. 20:55people in hoodies saying things like
  530. 20:57disruptive ecosystems while drinking
  531. 20:59mushroom coffee. uh small business
  532. 21:01owners, coaches, consultants, creators,
  533. 21:04um service providers, uh local
  534. 21:07businesses,
  535. 21:09everybody.
  536. 21:13Everybody.
  537. 21:18Somebody said the chat demands that you
  538. 21:19bring Juice Free back. I demanded that
  539. 21:21Juice Free come up here and because he
  540. 21:23didn't, he's banned and now you are.
  541. 21:25That's how that works,
  542. 21:29you know. So anyway, AI can give a
  543. 21:33serious entrepreneur some speed, and
  544. 21:35speed matters. AI can help you write
  545. 21:37faster, plan faster, uh research faster,
  546. 21:41organize faster. Like it really is a
  547. 21:44cheat code. It lets you create systems
  548. 21:46faster, you can follow up faster,
  549. 21:48everything.
  550. 21:51Um crazy.
  551. 21:53And um I'm I'm really about that life.
  552. 21:57Let me see. Art just says something. It
  553. 21:59says, "Uh, Dave, you don't watch some
  554. 22:02ordinary gamers. He will plug you in and
  555. 22:04let you know AI is not as hot as you
  556. 22:06make it out to be." Um, I never said it
  557. 22:08was hot. That's not what I said.
  558. 22:11And again,
  559. 22:13we understand that everything has a
  560. 22:16backhand to it. Let Let me cook. Let me
  561. 22:18cook. Still called Dave Anderson Morning
  562. 22:20News. Let me cook. Because while you're
  563. 22:22thinking about content, somebody else is
  564. 22:24using AI to turn one show into 10 clips,
  565. 22:26five emails, three carousels, a sales
  566. 22:28page, a follow-up sequence before lunch.
  567. 22:30That's not cheating. That's using the
  568. 22:32tools available in an area you actually
  569. 22:34live in. A hammer is technology. When I
  570. 22:37uh studied um
  571. 22:40anthropology, they would talk about um
  572. 22:43stone tool technology. I said, "What's
  573. 22:45stone tool techn? What is what is you
  574. 22:47talking about?" Oh, they would take a
  575. 22:48rock and they break it up another rock
  576. 22:49and then they'd have a tool to cut and a
  577. 22:51tool to hammer and then they would take,
  578. 22:54you know, the the fur from a bore and
  579. 22:56then wrap it around and that was the
  580. 22:58technology of the day. So, a hammer's
  581. 23:00technology, a calculator is technology.
  582. 23:03Email is technology. The internet is
  583. 23:05technology. AI is just the next tool.
  584. 23:08Our problem is not AI. I'm sick of y'all
  585. 23:10being so damn scared. Sound like a bunch
  586. 23:12of a melanated caveman. The problem is
  587. 23:15that too many people want new results
  588. 23:17with old ass habits. And that does not
  589. 23:19work today.
  590. 23:21Now,
  591. 23:22this is where I need all of you,
  592. 23:24especially our our small business
  593. 23:25owners, to hear me. AI won't replace you
  594. 23:28if you have judgment. AI will not
  595. 23:29replace you if you have taste. AI will
  596. 23:31not replace you if you have expertise.
  597. 23:33AI will not replace you if you have a
  598. 23:35real point of view. But AI will
  599. 23:37absolutely expose you if all you had was
  600. 23:40generic content, recycled advice, and
  601. 23:42vibes. AI can do generic all day. AI can
  602. 23:47write top five tips to grow your
  603. 23:49business while you blink. So, your
  604. 23:52advantage can't be generic information.
  605. 23:55Your advantage has to be wisdom, right?
  606. 23:58Your advantage has to be your story.
  607. 24:01Your advantage has to be uh your
  608. 24:03experience. Your advantage got to be
  609. 24:06your uh ability to connect the dots, see
  610. 24:08patterns, tell truth, apply knowledge in
  611. 24:11ways that actually help people. That's
  612. 24:14why I ain't afraid of AI because AI can
  613. 24:16assist the work, but I hate to say this
  614. 24:19respectfully,
  615. 24:20it can't be Dave Anderson. It can't
  616. 24:23replace lived experience. It can't
  617. 24:26replace uh reading two books a day. It
  618. 24:30can't replace getting your teeth kicked
  619. 24:32in by business and still building. You
  620. 24:33can't replace losing absolutely
  621. 24:35everything, washing your nuts in the gas
  622. 24:37station sink and still come up with the
  623. 24:38humor, the wisdom, the conviction, the
  624. 24:40time, the discernment, the smarts, the
  625. 24:43musical ability, the humor, the timing,
  626. 24:45all of that. It It can help me move
  627. 24:46faster. That's the point. You got to use
  628. 24:49AI like staff. Use AI like support. Use
  629. 24:51AI like a thinking partner. Use AI like
  630. 24:54a production assistant. Use AI like the
  631. 24:56intern. You do not have to teach how to
  632. 24:58use a Google calendar, right? But don't
  633. 25:01use AI as a substitute for having
  634. 25:03something to say. That's where it gets
  635. 25:05dangerous. Because if you have nothing
  636. 25:06to say, AI will just help you say a
  637. 25:09whole lot of nothing faster with better
  638. 25:11punctuation. And now you're just
  639. 25:14efficiently useless. And that's not the
  640. 25:16goal. The goal is leverage. The goal is
  641. 25:18systems. The goal is speed. The goal is
  642. 25:21consistency. The goal is stop doing
  643. 25:23everything manually like you're
  644. 25:25suffering. Like, you know, just like
  645. 25:28Unilad, one at a time. Some of y'all are
  646. 25:30not busy. Some of y'all have shitty
  647. 25:32systems. Sorry, there's a difference.
  648. 25:34Busy means demand is high. Poorly
  649. 25:36systematized means you're doing
  650. 25:38repeatable tasks by hand because
  651. 25:39somewhere in your spirit you think
  652. 25:41burnout proves how committed you are,
  653. 25:43how much nose you put on that
  654. 25:44grindstone. It don't. Burnout proves you
  655. 25:47need a better process. AI can help with
  656. 25:49that. So my challenge to every
  657. 25:52entrepreneur listening is before the end
  658. 25:53of the week, pick one thing in your
  659. 25:55business that's repetitive, that's slow,
  660. 25:57that's annoying, or that's inconsistent.
  661. 26:00Content planning, uh, email followup,
  662. 26:04uh, onboarding clients, podcast
  663. 26:06descriptions, lead magnet outlines,
  664. 26:08sales scripts, sales, uh, customer
  665. 26:12service replies, meeting notes, whatever
  666. 26:13it is. I don't really care. Use AI to
  667. 26:15build a system around it, right? Not
  668. 26:17just a cute prompt, a system. Because
  669. 26:21people who win with AI are not the
  670. 26:23people who are playing with it. They are
  671. 26:26the people who are integrating it,
  672. 26:28right?
  673. 26:31[snorts] And the people who ignore it
  674. 26:32are going to be the people who ignore
  675. 26:34the internet. At first, they sounded
  676. 26:35principled. No, I don't need that thing.
  677. 26:38I've got my phone book at the top of my
  678. 26:40refrigerator. Then they sounded behind.
  679. 26:42Then they sounded unemployed.
  680. 26:45Don't be that person.
  681. 26:47My question is, are you using AI in your
  682. 26:50business right now or are you still
  683. 26:52watching everybody else lab you? Let's
  684. 26:54add let's have a conversation. Aar Malik
  685. 26:57says, "I'm a truck driver. I think they
  686. 26:59are both are true at the same time." I
  687. 27:01agree. TZ said, "I promise I'll be
  688. 27:03trying to tell people the same [ __ ] they
  689. 27:04don't be hearing." Bro, they don't hear
  690. 27:05me. I tell people all the time, "Nobody
  691. 27:07listens to me." And I know y'all may
  692. 27:08say, "Oh, you got all these subscribers.
  693. 27:11You just got here six, seven weeks ago."
  694. 27:14You know, we started the show March
  695. 27:1525th. So, our two-month anniversary is
  696. 27:17coming up on Memorial Day, which is
  697. 27:20crazy growth, and I'm grateful and I'm
  698. 27:22thankful. You know what I'm saying? But
  699. 27:24some of this is crazy. Let's see here.
  700. 27:26Uh, Art said, "Remember AI was sued by a
  701. 27:29man in the Asia region because AI mainly
  702. 27:31used his pop art because it was the most
  703. 27:33popular at the time and it was
  704. 27:34everywhere. Now it looks like Uncanny
  705. 27:35Valley clay dolls." I'm with you. Again,
  706. 27:39those are individual
  707. 27:42experiences. I'm not talking about
  708. 27:44individual experiences.
  709. 27:47I'm talking about overall how most
  710. 27:49people use it. It's supposed to be a
  711. 27:51tool. Like it's like if people get a
  712. 27:54good pair of sneakers, is that going to
  713. 27:57turn you into LeBron James? If you had
  714. 27:59the same type of golf clubs Tiger Woods
  715. 28:02use, is that going to mean you going to
  716. 28:03win the Masters?
  717. 28:05No. It's not about the tool. It's about
  718. 28:08the craftsman who uses the tool. What
  719. 28:10happens is too many of us are letting
  720. 28:12the tool use us.
  721. 28:17Trueer, you know where to come to,
  722. 28:19homie.
  723. 28:21You know where to come to. Stop playing
  724. 28:22with me. So, what we not going to do is
  725. 28:27play that game
  726. 28:30cuz I need y'all to know what time it
  727. 28:31is.
  728. 28:41Uh, Senica the Wiser says, "The American
  729. 28:43Empire turns into the critique of empire
  730. 28:45into its ultimate luxury export. It
  731. 28:48proves the most sophisticated empires
  732. 28:49don't suppress the stories of rebellion.
  733. 28:51They own the copyright to them." Okay.
  734. 28:55I hate you so much, Tezy. Nobody likes
  735. 28:56you. Get out of here. Thank you.
  736. 28:58Somebody boot Tezy out of here. I'm
  737. 28:59kidding. I'm kidding. I'm just kidding.
  738. 29:01Do not do not boot my mods. Jesus. I
  739. 29:03don't need mod on M crime, you know.
  740. 29:06Holl at your boy, man. Like matter of
  741. 29:07fact, Chuma, shoot me a DM, homie. You
  742. 29:10already know.
  743. 29:12Let's get it popping. Um, Art says,
  744. 29:15"It's not it's not Dave, it's overall
  745. 29:18when it's doing BS all over the place.
  746. 29:20Uh, we have a problem in our PD with AI
  747. 29:23now because it wants to be minority
  748. 29:25report and do 100% false positives on
  749. 29:27people that look alike." Yeah, that
  750. 29:29happens to me. So, I did tough mutter.
  751. 29:31And if you don't know what tough mutter
  752. 29:32is, matter of fact, I'm pretty sure I
  753. 29:33can show you. Hold on.
  754. 29:44So, I'mma show y'all what this is. So,
  755. 29:45when I when when I um and again, I'm
  756. 29:50just showing this to you so that you
  757. 29:52guys can get a feel of um
  758. 29:57what this looks like. So when I lost my
  759. 30:00first 150 pounds, a buddy of mine who
  760. 30:03had been on his weight loss journey a
  761. 30:05lot longer than I had was like, "Oh, you
  762. 30:06got to do tough mutter once you drop 150
  763. 30:08pounds." I said, "Bet.
  764. 30:10>> This is it."
  765. 30:11>> Memories and the story, the banter. I
  766. 30:13mean, why wouldn't you want to do
  767. 30:13something like this?
  768. 30:19>> My god. Like,
  769. 30:20>> and no, there's not a whole lot of black
  770. 30:22people there, but let's keep going.
  771. 30:23>> Tougher is the [music] best I'm going to
  772. 30:25say in the UK for sure. like the best
  773. 30:28organization, the safest obstacles. Like
  774. 30:30you are in such safe hands to do the
  775. 30:33crazy stuff that we do on court. It's so
  776. 30:35big [singing] you cannot imagine it
  777. 30:37until you're here. And that's why you
  778. 30:38have to come [music] try.
  779. 30:41Everyone helps you on the way around. So
  780. 30:43even if you're on your own, like
  781. 30:44there'll be glass or other girls that
  782. 30:46will just give you a pull up. [music] I
  783. 30:47don't think it matters if you do it on
  784. 30:48your own or attempt to be honest.
  785. 30:51>> Yeah, it's just a great thing to do.
  786. 30:53Everyone loves it. Good team bonding,
  787. 30:55amazing money. Brilliant.
  788. 31:00>> [music]
  789. 31:04>> What would you say to people that are
  790. 31:05too scared to try these if they're
  791. 31:06watching this video thinking I can never
  792. 31:07do that?
  793. 31:08>> No, anybody can do it. I've got some
  794. 31:10guys that haven't trained at all. They
  795. 31:11haven't trained at all. And this is lots
  796. 31:13of fun. It's not about how fast you can
  797. 31:15do it. Is about team.
  798. 31:17>> And I'm going tell y'all if y'all
  799. 31:19looking at this like, "Hell no, it could
  800. 31:21never have been me." Um Yeah. No. Um, I
  801. 31:25said the same thing until I did it,
  802. 31:29you know.
  803. 31:36Okay, I'm so confused. Hold on one
  804. 31:38second. Um,
  805. 31:44shoot. Ompic ain't never been a friend
  806. 31:47of mine. Uh, so I can't speak to that. I
  807. 31:50I I did it the oldfashioned way. Hard
  808. 31:52work.
  809. 31:55No, my name is Dave. You call me Dave or
  810. 31:58Mr. Anderson,
  811. 32:00but not No, I don't I don't No, I don't
  812. 32:03do pet names from strangers on the
  813. 32:05internet. That's some weirdo stuff. But
  814. 32:06the point of it was
  815. 32:08when we got pictures back,
  816. 32:12they got me confused with another uh
  817. 32:17another black guy who happened to be
  818. 32:18running the course.
  819. 32:20And my whole thing is when I tell you it
  820. 32:23was it was so physically challenging
  821. 32:25that I really wanted to have something
  822. 32:26there, you know, and for me
  823. 32:31I um I pushed myself, but now that I'm,
  824. 32:34you know, 360 lbs lighter, I really want
  825. 32:37to see what I can do on the tough mutter
  826. 32:38course. If anybody
  827. 32:41I if anybody in the damn nation wants to
  828. 32:44put together a tough mutter team, I'm
  829. 32:46probably going to go to the one in
  830. 32:48Philly. So, um, and we'll do it. Um,
  831. 32:50we're talking a year from now. So, if
  832. 32:53y'all want to do it, like, let's let's
  833. 32:55let's talk about it cuz I told y'all we
  834. 32:56going to be on some Damn Nation fitness
  835. 32:58type stuff. Uh, Iceman with the $10
  836. 33:00super chat says, "AI is open access now,
  837. 33:03but that's to encourage adoption. These
  838. 33:05LLMs aren't going to be free forever.
  839. 33:07And if you don't get these skills now
  840. 33:09and level up, you'll be shut out. Fourth
  841. 33:11industrial revolution is here."
  842. 33:14Absolutely. Yo, when I tell you it was
  843. 33:15the most fun I had, it was the most fun
  844. 33:18I had. The one thing that I will do is
  845. 33:20I'm going to have somebody I don't know
  846. 33:21if it's going to be my wife or somebody
  847. 33:23on my team um come with the come with
  848. 33:26the video camera because trying to get
  849. 33:28the pictures was horrible. They had me
  850. 33:30confused with other people and it was
  851. 33:33the best time ever. Pooky and Ray Ray
  852. 33:35said they're in. So, we got so far um
  853. 33:38Albi Chill says interested. DB Smooth
  854. 33:42says interested. Pooky and Ray Rat show
  855. 33:44says interested. We might have to start
  856. 33:45a tough mutter team.
  857. 33:48Y'all gotta come up here. Me ain't
  858. 33:49talking about European activities. Mang
  859. 33:51gone. It's a great time. It's an
  860. 33:54absolute great time. And at the end they
  861. 33:57give you a shot of liquor and a beer. Uh
  862. 34:00I can't do the beer, but I definitely
  863. 34:01can do the shot of liquor and it's worth
  864. 34:03it. Uh the only thing that's a little
  865. 34:04weird is um you know like the shower is
  866. 34:08public. There's a lot of stuff that you
  867. 34:10know I didn't know the first time that I
  868. 34:11know now. like it makes a whole lot more
  869. 34:13sense to get a hotel close to the
  870. 34:14course. One, two, um, make sure you got
  871. 34:18a good change of clothes,
  872. 34:20you know. Um, but it it Oh, God. Yo.
  873. 34:25Oh, you got to get a go. I got to get a
  874. 34:27GoPro. I'm with that. I'm with that.
  875. 34:29Mikey D in the building. You think
  876. 34:31YouTube member? He says, "I'm with it."
  877. 34:33TC said he on it.
  878. 34:56Yeah, I I I don't know what that is. So,
  879. 34:58you'll have to break it down to me
  880. 34:59because when I looked, I couldn't find
  881. 35:00nothing. So, I don't know what to tell
  882. 35:02you. All I'm saying is uh Yeah. No,
  883. 35:06let's see here. Uh new comments. Yeah,
  884. 35:09definitely fasting that day. No, you
  885. 35:11can't. No, this is Did No, you don't eat
  886. 35:13nothing.
  887. 35:16Nah, FU2 said I would be, but I'm off
  888. 35:18for two back surgery. Said, uh, Mike
  889. 35:21says, "I've done a few Spartan races.
  890. 35:22Love them. Even more fun with a team."
  891. 35:24That's what I'm saying, man. We're at
  892. 35:26So, um, Yep. No. Um, Spartan Race and
  893. 35:29Tough Matter I think are put on by the
  894. 35:30same people, you know. But yeah, this is
  895. 35:32definitely They have one in Philly and
  896. 35:34that's the one I'm going to do because
  897. 35:35it's closer, but it's not actually in
  898. 35:36Philly. It's like way out in the suburbs
  899. 35:38and whatnot. But it's definitely a good
  900. 35:40time. afterwards. Um, I usually go
  901. 35:43there's a place called Founding Farmers.
  902. 35:45If they're still having the same place,
  903. 35:46then it's cool. You know what I'm
  904. 35:47saying? But yeah, I think that would be
  905. 35:49cool, man. If we had a damn team. We had
  906. 35:51a damn team. Let's Let's find out where
  907. 35:53uh Tough Mutter 2027 is going to be.
  908. 35:55Hold on. Let's Let's get this figured
  909. 35:57out now.
  910. 36:08Let's see.
  911. 36:14Yeah.
  912. 36:16Yeah. Cuz Philly is literally in like
  913. 36:20two days. Um,
  914. 36:25you know, and I I want to make sure
  915. 36:27we're trans, so it hasn't put it up yet.
  916. 36:29Um, there is one in Atlanta, April of
  917. 36:312027, but I want I want to do Philly,
  918. 36:34which will be um
  919. 36:37which will be May of 2027. and then
  920. 36:39we'll figure out the dates and whatnot.
  921. 36:41But I am uh I'm extremely excited. I
  922. 36:44think it's something that you know we
  923. 36:45all need to really start putting in and
  924. 36:47training for and you know getting up on
  925. 36:50because it it I'm telling you it is fun.
  926. 36:53It is a whole lot of fun. And then
  927. 36:55Iceman said 2027 is enough time to get
  928. 36:58my cardio and and beastly and deal with
  929. 37:00these nagging injuries. I'll be down for
  930. 37:01that. Yeah. Next year. Next year that
  931. 37:03gives you cuz I don't want to hear
  932. 37:05nothing. I don't want to hear nothing
  933. 37:06about what aches and what hurts. I'm
  934. 37:07going to need y'all to go ahead and take
  935. 37:09out, get your blood work, see your
  936. 37:10doctor, all that type of stuff. But I'm
  937. 37:12I'm definitely training for it again
  938. 37:14because I trained hard the last time.
  939. 37:16But this time,
  940. 37:25>> wow, Tough Mut's got a really big
  941. 37:27reputation, so it's definitely got good
  942. 37:29bragging rights to say that we've
  943. 37:31completed Tough Mut together.
  944. 37:34>> Amazing.
  945. 37:38Oh yeah. Don't think you're not getting
  946. 37:39muddy. Please don't think you you not
  947. 37:42getting muddy. Like if you like me and
  948. 37:44you got locks, prepare for your locks to
  949. 37:46be dirty. I'm I'm just letting you know
  950. 37:48that off off rip.
  951. 37:52You know what I'm saying? But yeah, no,
  952. 37:53you you will you will get dirty.
  953. 37:56What up, Southern Lady Brown? You gonna
  954. 37:58pull up on us? Like we got we got to
  955. 38:00team we got to team this thing up. I I
  956. 38:02really think Tough Mutter would be dope
  957. 38:03for us. I really do. That that is how I
  958. 38:06feel. I think it's um
  959. 38:09going to be extremely fun and I think
  960. 38:11it's going to be um
  961. 38:15you know better than what we can
  962. 38:17imagine, you know, and I think that that
  963. 38:19that is uh
  964. 38:22you know, I think that's where that's
  965. 38:24where we get into um you know, really uh
  966. 38:29really making it happen. I don't I don't
  967. 38:31know about y'all.
  968. 38:34But um you know, I think it I think it'd
  969. 38:37be dope personally, you know, but that's
  970. 38:41just me being me. I'm curious as to what
  971. 38:44you know what y'all think.
  972. 38:46Art said and y'all injuries are going to
  973. 38:49uh are going to all come back on the
  974. 38:50first course if you don't sit down
  975. 38:52somewhere. Yeah. No, you definitely
  976. 38:53going to need a sit. Ice man said, "No,
  977. 38:56these lock these locks are going to stay
  978. 38:57luxurious." Yeah. No, you definitely
  979. 38:59need a swim cap. Y'all need to make sure
  980. 39:00that thing happens. It's crazy. Tezy
  981. 39:03said mud. We ain't tripping about no
  982. 39:05mud. I'm light-kinned, but I'm ugly
  983. 39:07though. Go home, bro.
  984. 39:10No, we definitely going to uh
  985. 39:13uh definitely going to have uh you know,
  986. 39:15your locks tied up. But no, I'm I'm so
  987. 39:18excited about this. I really am. I think
  988. 39:20if you know, we're doing activities
  989. 39:22together, we're staying healthy
  990. 39:23together, we're training for something,
  991. 39:25you know, we all tapped in, I think more
  992. 39:26people are going to want to, you know,
  993. 39:28have fun and and be involved. And to me,
  994. 39:30that's uh extremely important. It is
  995. 39:31Malcolm X day. So, um definitely
  996. 39:34thrilled about that,
  997. 39:36you know. So, I'm um I'm definitely
  998. 39:40curious. Also, shout out to everybody
  999. 39:41who has uh made a donation to the um 4K
  1000. 39:46camera fund because I'm trying to get
  1001. 39:48this wrapped up today. We're looking for
  1002. 39:50uh we're looking to get at least 500 to
  1003. 39:54make that happen. So, if you haven't uh
  1004. 39:56if you haven't contributed yet, feel
  1005. 39:58free to. is at the top of the screen
  1006. 40:00scrolling up in that bad boy. So
  1007. 40:02hopefully um we can make that happen
  1008. 40:05because I definitely want to give you a
  1009. 40:06better quality show because that to me
  1010. 40:08is extremely important. But um
  1011. 40:12yeah, let's uh let's let's let's have a
  1012. 40:16conversation. So, what we need and and
  1013. 40:20this is the one I'm I'm super super
  1014. 40:23excited about
  1015. 40:25is finding out how hiphop
  1016. 40:28is making things fun in the classroom.
  1017. 40:32We're moving the needle. Of course, show
  1018. 40:34music is available every Yeah, buddy.
  1019. 40:40And so,
  1020. 40:43I want to make sure that we get this pop
  1021. 40:44in here. So, this is an article uh from
  1022. 40:49the New York Post. New Bronx High School
  1023. 40:51of Hip Hop will use music as a vehicle
  1024. 40:54for uh for learning for public school
  1025. 40:56kids, which I think is completely dope.
  1026. 41:00And get this damn thing off my screen. I
  1027. 41:03hate it when they put these damn things
  1028. 41:04up on my screen. So,
  1029. 41:07there it
  1030. 41:09I'm not judging, but I'm judging.
  1031. 41:14I'm judging just a little bit. I ain't
  1032. 41:15gonna hold you just just a teeny tiny
  1033. 41:17little bit. Um, and this is why. Let me
  1034. 41:21let me go ahead and show y'all this.
  1035. 41:23Yeah, right here. Uhhuh. Here we go.
  1036. 41:26Let's get this down here.
  1037. 41:29All right. Yep. That's what's up. That's
  1038. 41:32what's up. Oh, F2 said, "I went to high
  1039. 41:35school. The principal of that school."
  1040. 41:36That's dope. I'm here for it. Here for
  1041. 41:38it. So, um, for me, hip-hop isn't just
  1042. 41:43music. It's language. It's math. Uh,
  1043. 41:45it's poetry, it's timing, it's
  1044. 41:47production, it's engineering, it's
  1045. 41:50design. Uh, hip-hop is entrepreneurship,
  1046. 41:52hip-hop is history. Uh, hip-hop is
  1047. 41:55politics. Show music available
  1048. 41:56absolutely everywhere. Make sure you get
  1049. 41:58yourself a bundle. Hip-hop is
  1050. 41:59technology. It's, uh, it's branding.
  1051. 42:03Um, it's all of these things. And so,
  1052. 42:05when we have this conversation, I want
  1053. 42:07to make sure we're having this
  1054. 42:08conversation from a real place and make
  1055. 42:11sure that it uh that it makes sense. So
  1056. 42:14y'all make sure that y'all peep game on
  1057. 42:16this because this in and of itself is
  1058. 42:19crazy. So if a child is enjoying the
  1059. 42:21process, that doesn't mean that there's
  1060. 42:22something wrong. That means that you're
  1061. 42:23finding a way to reach the kids. And so
  1062. 42:26I'm really here for it. But hip-hop
  1063. 42:27still has to be uh rigorous and it's got
  1064. 42:30to teach all of the basics. And that to
  1065. 42:32me is extremely
  1066. 42:35extremely important.
  1067. 42:38And so I'm definitely uh thrilled about
  1068. 42:41that. this can't be everybody make a
  1069. 42:42beat and let's call it education. We not
  1070. 42:44on that. That that to me is crazy, you
  1071. 42:46know. Um,
  1072. 42:49you know, but I'm I'm of the mind that
  1073. 42:52if it's done correctly, a hip-hop
  1074. 42:53curriculum can be powerful because it
  1075. 42:56gives teachers an entry point, a way to
  1076. 42:58reach young people and to study
  1077. 43:00everything. So if you want to study
  1078. 43:01poetry, you study rhyme schemes, you
  1079. 43:03study metaphor, you study internal
  1080. 43:04rhyme, you study cadence, you study
  1081. 43:06storytelling. You want to teach math,
  1082. 43:08study rhythm, bars, sequencing,
  1083. 43:10sampling, publishing splits, royalties,
  1084. 43:13contracts, percentages, right? If you
  1085. 43:15want to teach history, study the Bronx,
  1086. 43:16redlinining, policy, uh, poverty,
  1087. 43:19policing, migration, black party,
  1088. 43:21Jamaican sound system, culture, civil
  1089. 43:23rights, black power, urban policy. You
  1090. 43:25want to teach business, you study
  1091. 43:26ownership and masters, licensing,
  1092. 43:28branding, touring, merchandising, media
  1093. 43:30platforms. If you want to teach
  1094. 43:31technology, you study audio engineering,
  1095. 43:34production, software, streaming
  1096. 43:35platform. So, I'm extremely excited to
  1097. 43:37find out how they're going to do this
  1098. 43:39from a digital distribution and content
  1099. 43:40creation place. And I feel like if you
  1100. 43:43do it right, there's an entire industry
  1101. 43:45and university around hiphop if you stop
  1102. 43:47treating it like noise and start
  1103. 43:49treating it like education. And let's
  1104. 43:50keep it a buck. The traditional
  1105. 43:52education system is failing way too many
  1106. 43:54kids because teachers don't effing care.
  1107. 43:57I'm sorry I said what I said. More
  1108. 43:59teachers care deeply, but the system's
  1109. 44:01outdated. It's rigid. It's underfunded.
  1110. 44:04It's overested. And the test figure out
  1111. 44:07how much money that goes into the
  1112. 44:09pockets of the teachers union and not
  1113. 44:11into the teachers. And when the students
  1114. 44:12check out, adults blame the children.
  1115. 44:14No, you just suck at teaching.
  1116. 44:17Maybe the children aren't broken. Maybe
  1117. 44:19you just suck. Maybe you're just boring.
  1118. 44:21Maybe the curriculum doesn't speak to
  1119. 44:22their reality. Maybe we keep asking
  1120. 44:24creative kids to stop sitting still
  1121. 44:26inside of a system that's built for
  1122. 44:28industrial obedience. And then we wonder
  1123. 44:31why they rebel. Not every child's
  1124. 44:33disengaged because they're lazy. Some
  1125. 44:35are disengaged because you absolutely
  1126. 44:37suck and nobody has bothered to show why
  1127. 44:40the information matters. Hip-hop can
  1128. 44:42bridge that gap. Hip-hop can make the
  1129. 44:44lesson feel alive. I think that's
  1130. 44:45extremely important. And let's not
  1131. 44:47forget something. Hip hop has created
  1132. 44:48billion-dollar industries. I'm talking
  1133. 44:50about fashion, music, film, art, sports
  1134. 44:55marketing, podcasting, advertising,
  1135. 44:58language, dance, like technology,
  1136. 45:03touring,
  1137. 45:04merchandising, uh influencer culture,
  1138. 45:07brand strategy. So listen, listen,
  1139. 45:11listen. I think it's extremely
  1140. 45:12important. So when we need to respect
  1141. 45:15the culture, especially academically,
  1142. 45:16people act like we're sneaking
  1143. 45:17contraband into the classroom. That's
  1144. 45:19not what this is. I think that this
  1145. 45:21could literally
  1146. 45:23change everything because the culture
  1147. 45:24has already educated the world. Now we
  1148. 45:26need to educate our children through
  1149. 45:27that same culture without exploiting it.
  1150. 45:29So that means knowledge of self, that
  1151. 45:31means ownership, that means discipline,
  1152. 45:32that means critical thinking. Uh that
  1153. 45:35means understanding what it means that
  1154. 45:38talent is not enough because talent
  1155. 45:39without business knowledge becomes
  1156. 45:41somebody else's revenue stream. I'm
  1157. 45:42talking to you, Leo Cohen, Jimmy Ian,
  1158. 45:44Scooter Braun, so on and so forth. And
  1159. 45:46that's one of the great tragedies of
  1160. 45:47black creativity. We create the sound,
  1161. 45:49we create the style, we create the
  1162. 45:50language, we create the movement, we
  1163. 45:52create the hustle, but somebody else
  1164. 45:54creates the paperwork. And paperwork
  1165. 45:56will always win, no matter how creative
  1166. 45:58or how talented you are. So, if a
  1167. 46:00hip-hop high school can teach these kids
  1168. 46:02ownership, I'm listening. If it can
  1169. 46:04teach them culture and contracts, I'm
  1170. 46:06listening. If it can teach them
  1171. 46:08creativity and accounting, I'm
  1172. 46:09listening. If it can teach them beats
  1173. 46:10and business, I'm definitely listening.
  1174. 46:13Because the future does not just belong
  1175. 46:15to the children who can memorize the
  1176. 46:17most facts. It belongs to the children
  1177. 46:19that can think and create, communicate,
  1178. 46:21adapt, and still make sure they get the
  1179. 46:23check. Because hiphop at its best
  1180. 46:25teaches all of that. So, I ain't mad at
  1181. 46:28a hip-hop high school. I ain't mad at it
  1182. 46:31at all. I just mad that it took this
  1183. 46:32long to realize that the uh that this is
  1184. 46:35obvious. America got mocked because of
  1185. 46:37one of America's greatest exports and
  1186. 46:40they used to call it noise now it's a
  1187. 46:41global language. So the same kids that
  1188. 46:43ignored uh they ignored have built the
  1189. 46:45soundtrack to the world. That's it. So
  1190. 46:49I'm definitely not mad at it. The
  1191. 46:51problem is that y'all only think adults
  1192. 46:54come around when it's uh or genius is in
  1193. 46:57the form of you know violin recital.
  1194. 47:00Right? If you send your child to a
  1195. 47:02hip-hop high school, if it's taught by
  1196. 47:04real academics and business and
  1197. 47:06technology and ownership, I'm all for
  1198. 47:08it.
  1199. 47:10Um, [clears throat]
  1200. 47:13oh, I know you lying,
  1201. 47:15boy. They will always sneak through. And
  1202. 47:16that's why I said I'm a little I'm a
  1203. 47:19little in I'm a little e about this. And
  1204. 47:22this is why I'm a little e about this
  1205. 47:24cuz my guy does not look like a
  1206. 47:26foundational black American. He doesn't.
  1207. 47:29He looks a little uh M Lin Manuel
  1208. 47:32Mirandaesque.
  1209. 47:34Jason Reyes. Uh oh.
  1210. 47:38Yeah.
  1211. 47:39Yeah. Look at this guy. Mhm. Yeah.
  1212. 47:44Born and raised Bronxite Reyes.
  1213. 47:48Again,
  1214. 47:50they will take everything over if you
  1215. 47:53let them. Again, I I I need to see if
  1216. 47:56there's some foundational black
  1217. 47:57Americans involved in this. I'm I'm just
  1218. 48:00really curious.
  1219. 48:02But again, like I said, I I still think,
  1220. 48:05you know, even Michael Eric Dyson, who I
  1221. 48:06have diametrically opposed uh views on
  1222. 48:09with a lot of stuff, I think he uh was
  1223. 48:12definitely trying to um bridge the gra
  1224. 48:16bridge the gap and make some things um
  1225. 48:19you know, better for folks. So, I'm
  1226. 48:21definitely not there. Um,
  1227. 48:24he's Puerto Rican. Okay. He has a black
  1228. 48:27brother. That does not make him a
  1229. 48:28foundational black American. It makes
  1230. 48:29him Puerto Rican. Um,
  1231. 48:33Johnny says, "Did you hear Dr. Umar
  1232. 48:35talking about hip hop being around for
  1233. 48:3650 plus years and done nothing for the
  1234. 48:38black community?" Oh, he means like
  1235. 48:40himself who's been around for 50 plus
  1236. 48:42years and hasn't done anything for the
  1237. 48:43black community. Cool.
  1238. 48:48I mean, it's the same way John Lakeamano
  1239. 48:50said, um, you know, Puerto Ricans built
  1240. 48:52this country
  1241. 48:54and last I checked, he was Colombian,
  1242. 48:56but again,
  1243. 48:58yep, they just talked to Hispanics and
  1244. 49:00white people. This could be a trick bag,
  1245. 49:02people. We We're going to reserve
  1246. 49:03judgment cuz we don't know. We don't
  1247. 49:07know.
  1248. 49:08We don't know what's happening, but we
  1249. 49:11going to get it figured out
  1250. 49:14because um to me,
  1251. 49:17that's important.
  1252. 49:20I feel like it's extremely important for
  1253. 49:22us to uh make sure we got everything the
  1254. 49:25way that it needs to be because again,
  1255. 49:29that's how we get there. That's how we
  1256. 49:31get there, having those real hard, harsh
  1257. 49:34conversations,
  1258. 49:35you know. So, I um definitely appreciate
  1259. 49:38your support. Thank you to everybody who
  1260. 49:40has super chatted today. Thank you for
  1261. 49:43everybody who has come through. I hope
