41
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.680
moment of silence for them shortly, and you just asked

42
00:02:50.680 --> 00:02:53.280
that you give them peace that passes all the understanding.

43
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:56.719
That's all I could say. Folks that are being admitted

00:02:56.759 --> 00:03:00.240

45
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.560

47
00:03:07.159 --> 00:03:08.439
that the Bible has.

48
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:11.159
To be told, it has to roll itself out.

49
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:15.240
It's gonna hurt, it's gonna bewildered people, it's gonna confuse people.

50
00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:18.280
But Lord have your way. You know that you're the

00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:21.120
author and the finisher of the faith. You're the beginning

00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:22.759

Well.

66
00:03:51.360 --> 00:03:54.000
I pray that everybody's well.

67
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:57.000
I pray that your Labor day was well, that for

68
00:03:57.080 --> 00:04:00.280
those who could take off that day. That you're always

69
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:02.000
need to be doing self reflection.

70
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:03.840
You always need to be.

71
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.520
Doing some sort of self reflection, looking at where you

72
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.080
are now, looking at where you want to be, and not.

73
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.879
So much reflecting on yesterday.

74
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:16.279
You don't want to get caught looking back for too long,

75
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.519
because then you'll be reminded of yesterday and where there

76
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.959
was no progress, where there was pain, where there was hurt.

77
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:27.120
You got to look forward now. You got to look

78
00:04:27.160 --> 00:04:30.319
forward now. And I pray that the days of blaming

79
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:33.680
people it's over. We need to come together as a nation.

80
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:39.399
We need to come together as neighborhoods, community. It's just

81
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.639
time out for the ridiculous stuff that's not going to

82
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.360
get you anywhere. It's time out for talking about age,

83
00:04:46.439 --> 00:04:50.399
old history and things like that. Where there was no progress.

84
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.399
We need to look at our world today. Where are

85
00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:55.839
we today? Where do we need to be?

86
00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:58.959
Amen? Where do we need to be? And we need

87
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.759
to be reflecting on that. Amen.

88
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.600
Hey, missy, don't stall. Keep pushing to you exactly. Amen, Misty,

89
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.560
you got to keep walking forward. It is painful, and

90
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.560
sometimes your body is racked with pain, your head is hurting,

91
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.079
your you're like, you know, your bills are not making

92
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:19.079
ends meet, and you're working all these jobs and you're

93
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.920
not happy and they but you've got to get up

94
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:23.000
and make it another day.

95
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:25.279
If you're able to see the sun.

96
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:28.279
Rise on the eighth and you're able to see the

97
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:33.399
sun go down today, you need to be able to

98
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:38.680
keep moving. There is hope, There is hope despite what's

99
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:41.199
going on in the world. And I know that's a

100
00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.240
bitter pill to swallow, but we have to keep moving.

101
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:48.240
We have to keep going. And because over that horizon,

102
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:52.519
over that rainbow, God's rainbow, there is hope. There are

103
00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:55.560
more choices, there's opportunities, and you got to hear them

104
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:56.160
in a stage of.

105
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:58.399
Thank you, very true, amen, thank you, in a stagia.

106
00:05:58.560 --> 00:05:59.560
You got to keep moving.

107
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:02.720
I've ran into some people just that, and I can

108
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.040
look at them and I can tell that they're about

109
00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.000
to give up, They're about to give up, and I

110
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:11.680
know it's close. I know it's close. I can only imagine.

111
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.360
I can remember days. But I don't stay back there.

112
00:06:14.800 --> 00:06:17.439
I don't keep running that as a film projector in

113
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:18.519
my mind of where.

114
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:21.040
Things used to be, how things used to be, I

115
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.439
don't do that. I build on the Those are.

116
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.240
Stairsteps for me to go on, to encourage me to

117
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.360
be better, to be a better person. I don't know

118
00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:33.399
how many times I've spoke to people this week is

119
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.360
last week about being just a get to your best

120
00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:41.040
you find out who your best you is, And yeah,

121
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:44.079
that means you have to change. That means that you

122
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:48.399
have to go get more education, get certifications, whatever.

123
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.600
It is just just I mean, you've got enough.

124
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:55.160
We've got enough tools on between.

125
00:06:54.879 --> 00:06:58.680
Social media, Google AI all that to get you know,

126
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:02.759
to better yourself. You want to learn something, make it research,

127
00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:05.720
go about doing it, go about doing it.

128
00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:08.519
I had to talk to several people, especially last week,

129
00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:12.720
about encouraging them. Go get a kid, a teenage bible,

130
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.160
Go get a one year Bible, you know, because you've

131
00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:20.079
got to know this word because what's here, what's unfolding

132
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.680
every day. If you don't have scripture to encourage you,

133
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.240
there's no medication that's gonna do it. There's no group

134
00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:28.920
of friends. You're losing your friends.

135
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:31.800
People are not keeping in touch with you.

136
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:35.079
You got to let relationships go because it's a heavy load.

137
00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.759
You gotta keep moving. You gotta be encouraged.

138
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:41.360
And we're gonna talk about tonight's We're gonna talk about

139
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:46.079
tonight's you know, a topic on international literacy, and God's

140
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:46.680
gonna take it.

141
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:48.639
A couple of ways. But we'll get to that in

142
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:49.040
a minute.

143
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.160
But I just I did feel this heaviness yesterday and

144
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.120
as I was thinking about the show, and I did

145
00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:58.279
think about it, but I lost time today for some reason.

146
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.439
But you know, it's just God said, tell.

147
00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:04.800
My people, you gotta trust me. Tell my people I

148
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.360
have not given up on them. This has to roll out,

149
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.439
it has to happen. I don't know if you've ever

150
00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:13.800
been in calall where he just took an exam, right,

151
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.199
and all of a sudden, a lot of the students

152
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:19.040
didn't do well on the test. So the teacher's like, well,

153
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.240
I'm gonna have to you know, we're gonna have to do.

154
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.000
I'll have to.

155
00:08:23.920 --> 00:08:26.399
Shift the grade a little bit because most of you

156
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:27.399
all didn't pass.

157
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:31.120
And you're sitting there like what that was easy? And

158
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:32.320
some of you did pass.

159
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.039
So then all of a sudden, we all got to

160
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.120
take the hit for it for those who didn't pack.

161
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.120
And now you got to shift the grade, which makes

162
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:40.600
my score lower. I'd get a B. I get an

163
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:41.960
eighty nine, you know.

164
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.759
But now he's got to recalibrate the grades and my grade,

165
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.600
my number comes there because we got He didn't like

166
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:51.720
the fact that everybody faked Moost. The majority of the

167
00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:55.000
class exam went to the library on Saturday. Okay, Mickey,

168
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:57.120
they have programs people could enjoy.

169
00:08:57.279 --> 00:08:57.759
Thank you.

170
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:00.799
And we talked about the library last year when we were,

171
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:04.120
you know, celebrating Library Month and everything Book Week and

172
00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.639
all that kind of stuff, and yes, I know here.

173
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:10.960
You know, go for information. You need to be informed.

174
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:15.080
You need not to be scared of information. You need

175
00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.200
not to be scared of knowledge. The first two three

176
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.200
chapters of the Book of Psalms or Proverbs talk about

177
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:25.000
and you're getting get understanding and get knowledge. And you're

178
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:28.120
getting knowledge, get understanding. You have some people who are

179
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:30.960
real BookSmart, but you can't have a conversation with them.

180
00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:33.879
You don't know what they say what And they're all

181
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:36.720
up here and you're like, no, that wasn't the situation.

182
00:09:37.279 --> 00:09:40.799
You know, you need to come down here, need to

183
00:09:40.840 --> 00:09:45.440
come down here, get grounded. Who are you? What's your next?

184
00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.480
And we've been talking about this for years. What is

185
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.480
your next? And don't be afraid to ask God. It

186
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:54.600
may not come, it may not look like what you want.

187
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:58.000
He may say, I'm going to enlarge your territory. Years ago,

188
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.759
the Jabaz prayer was gonna enlarge your territory.

189
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.759
Everybody, Oh, I'm gonna get I'm gonna get land.

190
00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.159
I'm gonna get my God said, well, I didn't really

191
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:09.519
specify how I'm gonna enlarge it. But you're thinking you're

192
00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.759
gonna get land. You're thinking you're gonna get a marriage

193
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:14.919
and have a whole bunch of money. You're thinking that

194
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:16.159
you're gonna have a bunch of kids.

195
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.960
You're thinking. God said, I, no, I really let me.

196
00:10:20.080 --> 00:10:21.120
Let me check my record.

197
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.399
You know, and I have to tell somebody you know today,

198
00:10:24.480 --> 00:10:26.320
don't don't tell God how to bless.

199
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:26.519
You.

200
00:10:26.879 --> 00:10:29.120
Don't tell God how to bless you get your feelings

201
00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:32.399
hurt God. If you for me, you know you're gonna

202
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.840
you're gonna make sure I get this. I get this

203
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:38.200
this job interview, I get this job. If you ain't

204
00:10:38.200 --> 00:10:41.080
gossipd well, I really don't think I need you over there.

205
00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:44.360
I really don't think that's for you because it's only

206
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.200
a six month program. It's only a six month job.

207
00:10:47.879 --> 00:10:51.240
I didn't create you to just be on a temporary basis.

208
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.759
I do have something for you. It's gonna be one

209
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:57.000
thousand dollars less, and you're not gonna even have an office.

210
00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.360
You're gonna be right there in the lobby with everybody else.

211
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.960
But this is what I have for you because of

212
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.200
the lives that you have to reach. So please, as

213
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.240
you're praying.

214
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:11.519
Put out what you want you need from God, you

215
00:11:11.559 --> 00:11:14.399
could ask him. I was just sharing today. That's one

216
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:15.679
of the most precious things.

217
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.919
I had to learn the hard way because I wasn't

218
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:20.039
you know, I didn't have bad things, but you know,

219
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.840
you get yourself in a situation, financial buying and whatever,

220
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:24.679
and all of a sudden, I got to go to

221
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.679
God and I got to ask God. I can't get

222
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:29.879
out of this. I can't work another job. I don't

223
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:31.720
know what else to do. All my gold is in

224
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:34.159
the pawn shop. I don't know what else to do.

225
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:36.639
I hate to come to you.

226
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:38.360
He's like, why do you hate to come to me?

227
00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.000
That's what I'm here for.

228
00:11:40.120 --> 00:11:43.600
To relieve you of the burden, to show you what

229
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:46.879
I have for you. Before your mother's womb knew you

230
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:49.639
were coming. I've got all of this for you, but

231
00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:53.799
you don't ask me for it. He thrives on that period. No,

232
00:11:53.960 --> 00:11:58.360
but he thrives on his children coming to him and

233
00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:02.200
reaching out to him and crying out to him, travailing

234
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.240
out to him. I can't do this without your Lord,

235
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.000
I can't do this without you.

236
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.480
And guess what, I.

237
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.039
Don't want to do it without you because you've already

238
00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:13.679
paid the way. I can't even see it as a parent.

239
00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.919
You know, I talked to my kids, I trained my kids.

240
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.799
I know some of the bumps in the road that

241
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:21.120
they're gonna encounter, I know them. But there are times

242
00:12:21.159 --> 00:12:24.080
I have to be silent and sit there and hold

243
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.120
myself and rock myself and say God, please be with

244
00:12:28.240 --> 00:12:31.879
me as my babies go through, Please help me. You know,

245
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.279
when they're going off to college, even though we're right

246
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.759
here be Liensia, you see, they don't. They don't want

247
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.519
to hear from the parents unless you have to pay

248
00:12:40.519 --> 00:12:44.279
out a pocket. They separate us at orientation. Parents, you

249
00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.519
go there, students, you're over here, and I'm like, well,

250
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:48.399
I need to hear what you're telling them.

251
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.639
Now. We got you here.

252
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.039
And if you're if you're paying, you know, if you're

253
00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:54.559
gonna do students Stafford loans, you can sit here. But

254
00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.679
if not, you have a nice saying wait a minute,

255
00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.919
I drove all the way out here. I need to say.

256
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.679
No, I'm not gonna we can't together. I'm not going anywhere.

257
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:04.120
So I go and buy me something to eat and

258
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.960
then my baby going through stuff and all this kind

259
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.320
of stuff.

260
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:11.720
And a political person uh wrote on her Facebook.

261
00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.879
Oh uc F and Valencia are the lowest paid schools.

262
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.519
I said, huh. I had to lean in on that one.

263
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:21.519
Excuse me, I said, uh no, I have an active

264
00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.120
student there and they're messing up her faster for not

265
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.559
giving her her student aid money. So I don't know,

266
00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:30.320
well how they Well, I spoke with the so I

267
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.399
don't even know who the person is. I guess either President,

268
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:34.399
I don't know who. I spoke with him at breakfast,

269
00:13:34.440 --> 00:13:36.399
and that's what he told me. I said, well, that's

270
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:41.120
what that's your reality, but mine, our realness is totally different.

271
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:42.679
You don't play with folks money.

272
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:42.879
Now.

273
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.159
The kids already, the students already got pressure, they got

274
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:49.200
to understand. And the teachers and professor's over there. I

275
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:51.679
don't know what trip they're on, but everybody's going through.

276
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:56.440
I was listening looking at social or chain chat, and

277
00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:59.840
and and and my my fellow colleagues are they're they're

278
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:02.039
offering out there. They don't know what to do for

279
00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.120
their patients or their clients. They're not getting paid adequately.

280
00:14:06.600 --> 00:14:09.240
They got families, they got the feed. They don't know

281
00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.799
what to do, and I'm looking at them like and

282
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:15.080
nobody's offering relief. People like, well you got you got

283
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:17.759
to keep trying. No, can we pray? Do you have

284
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.159
a praying circle? Do you have somebody that can go

285
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:22.559
in and do prayer with you? And I you know,

286
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:25.120
I'm disregarded. Oh wait, this is not that type of platform.

287
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:28.600
Oh okay, I'm right now. But yet you want my membership,

288
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.600
but you're exiting out my god, but I'm supposed to

289
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:34.039
pay you to be a member. Had a conversation with

290
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:36.200
a young lady Blend. I know, I shocked the heck

291
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.519
out of her, and she's like, well, we understand your

292
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:40.840
membership is due now and we'd just like to see

293
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:42.039
how we can help you do it. I said, well,

294
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.600
already got it in prayer, I said, before I talk

295
00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.799
about me being a minister, before I talk about me

296
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.039
being a chaplain, I talk about me being a social worker.

297
00:14:50.360 --> 00:14:52.879
I am proud to be a social worker. But you

298
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.159
all have done a great disservice to me.

299
00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.799
Your mind, your landscape is you know, your portraits are

300
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:03.480
on a different wavelength. You're concerned about gender issues and stuff.

301
00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:06.480
You're concerned about my a person of faith, so I

302
00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:09.519
was supposed to still pay you to reject me, to

303
00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:10.679
treat me indifferently.

304
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:12.480
I said, no, I got it up in prayer.

305
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.600
I'll wait to see what he says, but I don't

306
00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:17.000
think he's gonna have me pay a two hundred dollars membership.

307
00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:20.360
And you're not meeting my needs. And I'm good with that.

308
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.960
I'm fine. I'm not angry, I'm not mad.

309
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:26.320
But when you're the president over in an organization, even

310
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:29.240
when you're the president of a country, you're the governor

311
00:15:29.320 --> 00:15:32.639
of a city, you're over people, whether you like us

312
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:35.279
or not. You have to listen to their points. You

313
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.759
got to listen to their concerns. When I was a

314
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.080
PTA president, I was thinking about that for for over

315
00:15:40.120 --> 00:15:44.759
fifteen years, twenty years living in Orlando. I didn't necessarily

316
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.919
like the principles. I didn't like the assistant principal. Some

317
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.519
of the parents got on my nerves. But when we

318
00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:52.720
had a meeting, I had to hear, what are your concerns.

319
00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:56.000
My teachers came to the meeting, what are your concerns.

320
00:15:56.039 --> 00:15:57.879
I don't have to like you.

321
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.440
You voted me in to do a job and that's

322
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.519
how I look at our elective officials. I voted for you,

323
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.000
So you need to listen to me. You don't have

324
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.159
to like what I'm gonna say, and we don't have

325
00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:09.240
to have lunch.

326
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:11.600
But you need to listen. And now you know we're

327
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:16.480
celebrating it. Boy. Sorry guys, International Literacy Day? What does

328
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.720
that mean? You need to be literate.

329
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.360
You need to understand community. You need to understand culture.

330
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.200
You need to and culture is not so much diversity ethnicity.

331
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.679
I'm talking about culture. How I raise my children versus

332
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.039
how my sister raised her kid. That's culture. That's family culture.

333
00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:36.080
You have to understand that we're different people. You can't

334
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.320
put us all in one you know, one bag. I

335
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:43.279
do things differently from everybody else, based on my experiences,

336
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.840
based on my prayer life, based on the Holy Spirit

337
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:50.519
guiding me, based on my trauma, based on my being

338
00:16:50.559 --> 00:16:54.200
a therapist, and listening to other folks issues and mistakes

339
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:55.960
and progress.

340
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:57.759
But let me let's go to literacy.

341
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.919
You don't want to say anything before I move into

342
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:07.319
talking about international literacy?

343
00:17:08.680 --> 00:17:10.319
Come on that, come on, say something. I know you

344
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:11.000
got to say.

345
00:17:10.799 --> 00:17:13.559
Something about literacy or just just what you were.

346
00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.759
Talking about in general what we were talking about in

347
00:17:15.759 --> 00:17:17.839
general first, and then we're gonna hop into We're gonna

348
00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:19.079
go into literacy real deep.

349
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.640
I mean, I think you you you pretty much hit

350
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:26.119
it on the head tonight. So yeah, people are in

351
00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:29.880
a different place right now. So when we move into

352
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:33.279
the literacy, I think, you know, talking more, you know,

353
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:38.519
learning about culture and educating yourself. You know, it looks

354
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.960
differently to different people. You know, culture is everywhere, culture

355
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:44.759
in the workplace, culture and the community culture at home.

356
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.200
You know, just like we were talking about with families.

357
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.480
Everything has different values and beliefs and maybe understanding. And

358
00:17:51.559 --> 00:17:56.079
I think if we learn more about each other's culture

359
00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:58.440
to find out what you know, what's working and one

360
00:17:58.519 --> 00:18:01.599
you can share values and you might find out that

361
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:04.519
you have more in common than not. And I think

362
00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.599
that's what's wrong. That's what's wrong with us as a

363
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:10.519
country right now. Everyone is afraid based on what they're

364
00:18:10.559 --> 00:18:13.559
hearing and where they're hearing things from, which is making

365
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:16.359
them afraid? And and I you know, sometimes I want

366
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:19.440
to task look at your Facebook pages, you know, see

367
00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.000
check out your Facebook pages or the platforms that you

368
00:18:23.079 --> 00:18:26.920
have TikTok or Instagram or whatever. And see if there's

369
00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:31.440
any diversity in your followers or people that you are following.

370
00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.880
And if you're following people that just look like you

371
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:36.359
and have your same beliefs, how are you learning and growing?

372
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:38.119
And so I'll wait too.

373
00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:41.720
So well, that's the age old thing, you know. You

374
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:43.720
you got to fan out. I mean, depending on what

375
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:47.000
you're doing. I'm sure in your workspace. I mean there

376
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:50.319
are situations where they're you know, your colleagues may look

377
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:51.119
just like you.

378
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:52.640
But they're not you.

379
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.000
You're not you know, you have different beliefs, you have

380
00:18:56.039 --> 00:18:58.640
different things that worked for you, You have different traumas,

381
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:02.400
you have different experiences, you have different mishaps.

382
00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:04.880
You have different successes too, you know.

383
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:11.039
So anyway, International Literacy Day is the United Nations. United

384
00:19:11.160 --> 00:19:15.279
Nations is responsible for this recognition and it falls on

385
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.559
September eighth to raise people's awareness of and concern for

386
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:22.680
literacy issues in the world. International Literacy Day highlights the

387
00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.720
importance of literacy in areas such as health and education.

388
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:28.640
They couldn't get off of that.

389
00:19:28.759 --> 00:19:32.599
It's all about health and education, understanding and because the

390
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:36.799
medical world just keeps rolling out different things you just

391
00:19:36.880 --> 00:19:40.599
don't know. And the food industry. You know, now you

392
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.960
shouldn't be eating or drinking soy. You know, no, you

393
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:47.359
can have two eggs a day now, you know. It's

394
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:50.519
just it's you know, you're getting all this information based

395
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.039
on maybe one or two folks having a reaction to stuff.

396
00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.240
Then all of a sudden, the world wants to change

397
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.359
everything now like no, find out what works for you.

398
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:03.880
I thought it was interesting they they promote the day

399
00:20:04.079 --> 00:20:08.799
to underline the significance of literacy for healthy societies, with

400
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.319
a strong emphasis on epidemics and communicable diseases.

401
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:14.720
Such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria.

402
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:18.480
Well the United States, we don't suffer from malaria, but

403
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.519
that's their third health issue when they talk about adult literacy.

404
00:20:23.599 --> 00:20:26.000
So I thought something. I mean and just literacy as

405
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:28.279
a whole. But I thought this was interesting.

406
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:34.880
The let me get them the uh where did it go? Okay?

407
00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:38.039
United States? Hang on, guys, let me get that. I

408
00:20:38.039 --> 00:20:43.160
don't know why. Uh oh, the devil is crazy? United States?

409
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.880
No not justice?

410
00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:45.599
Mmm.

411
00:20:46.160 --> 00:20:48.880
Well, anyway, I thought it was interesting.

412
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:56.559
That the United States and immigration folks had a whole different,

413
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:03.920
uh view of what they expect for Okay, when when

414
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:08.720
folks are trying to get their their citizenship, and they

415
00:21:08.839 --> 00:21:12.839
stress the fact that it's in their on their Facebook page.

416
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.079
They stress the fact that we need you to understand.

417
00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.720
We're not just giving you the freedom here the benefits.

418
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.279
You've got to come in and promise that you will

419
00:21:24.400 --> 00:21:26.440
learn the culture of America.

420
00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.839
You will learn the language, and you'll be able to

421
00:21:28.880 --> 00:21:30.519
speak it fluently.

422
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:34.319
And you will abide by the laws and expectations before

423
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:35.359
you take this oath.

424
00:21:35.640 --> 00:21:37.359
And I thought that was interesting.

425
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.160
And I'm sorry it's the devil because I had it

426
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:43.720
all pulled up and everything, and then all of a sudden,

427
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.400
I can't find it on my face and I followed.

428
00:21:46.119 --> 00:21:49.720
Them, so, but yeah, I read that. I read it twice.

429
00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:52.599
I was like, wait a minute, what Wow, this is

430
00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.039
what they expect folks to be able to.

431
00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:57.599
You come in it. You know this, You need to

432
00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:01.880
This is what we expect of you. And and and.

433
00:22:01.400 --> 00:22:04.880
Rightfully, so, you need to understand the language, You need

434
00:22:04.920 --> 00:22:08.759
to understand community, you need to understand our definitions.

435
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:11.759
That food pyramid has flipped so much it may as

436
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:12.519
well be a ball.

437
00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:15.480
Yeah, thank you, mickey. Yeah, because you don't know what

438
00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:16.319
what can we eat today?

439
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:17.000
That's all you know.

440
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.400
I'm just can you tell me what we can eat today?

441
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:23.319
And I won't break out in anything, you know, But

442
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:26.920
you're right. And then again, we're listening to people, and

443
00:22:26.960 --> 00:22:29.079
we're listening. You know, we were taught, we were raised,

444
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:32.000
and listen to our elders, those who are in position,

445
00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:35.680
those who are educated, those are who's supposed to, you know,

446
00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.200
know this stuff, and make not so much make us

447
00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:40.759
feel better, but at least be able to communicate to

448
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.319
us what's what's important and what's not. But like I said,

449
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.759
I mean, I went to have an exam done, a

450
00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:52.759
test done to make sure the blood's flowing in my body.

451
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.839
And the technician was so nice, and I said, yeah,

452
00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:01.119
they And we've got to talking about how medical expectations

453
00:23:01.119 --> 00:23:04.359
have changed over the years because of technology. I said, yeah,

454
00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:07.200
Look at CPR. I was a trainer for the Red

455
00:23:07.240 --> 00:23:10.519
Cross CPR. You had to do ten chess compressions and

456
00:23:10.559 --> 00:23:13.559
two you know, two breaths and you had to count

457
00:23:13.559 --> 00:23:14.359
it out and everything.

458
00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:17.000
Well that's changed now. And she said, now you take

459
00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:17.440
the test.

460
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:20.240
You take it four times a year, and it takes

461
00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:21.839
you about fifteen minutes because.

462
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:22.279
Now they got it.

463
00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:25.880
The chess cavity on the wall and you're pushing on it,

464
00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:28.559
and they can tell you if you're doing correct chess compressions.

465
00:23:28.759 --> 00:23:31.759
I said, what happened to the little fellow that we

466
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:34.240
had to get on the floor and almost break his

467
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:38.480
rib his plastic ribs. No, we don't have that anymore,

468
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:40.640
I said, Oh my god, but it's been eons of

469
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:43.279
years and that I did that, and then I even

470
00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:44.359
needed a CPR card.

471
00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.400
Now I'll just tell you I can't help you choking.

472
00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:47.039
I can't help you.

473
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:49.160
I'll call down one one and I can pray for you,

474
00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:52.119
but I ain't touching you because I am not certified.

475
00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:57.119
But you know it's you need to be. You want

476
00:23:57.160 --> 00:24:00.519
to be well informed. You need to know what's going on.

477
00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:02.519
And that's why on some of my pages I put

478
00:24:02.559 --> 00:24:05.039
out there some of these folks who are talking about

479
00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:08.920
inside information, so you'll know where stuff is coming from.

480
00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:11.599
Some people like to just stay in a hole. They

481
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:12.559
don't want to learn anything.

482
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:14.759
They don't want to learn about technology, they don't want

483
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:16.839
to learn how to use a computer. They get the

484
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.200
phones because that's the only way people can communicate with them,

485
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:22.039
but they get they all upset about it. I don't

486
00:24:22.240 --> 00:24:24.119
I don't know how to use this phone. I don't

487
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:27.039
know where these things are of it, And I'm like, oh, lord, person,

488
00:24:27.359 --> 00:24:28.839
you gotta you know, we got to be able to

489
00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.599
reach you, We got to be able to talk to you.

490
00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:33.720
So it's okay, it's not a threat. Knowledge is not

491
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.720
a threat. Do they aldways not work anywhere anymore? And

492
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.039
a station I don't even know, I still say that,

493
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:44.680
I'm I'm what's that? What's the saying? I'm old school?

494
00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:47.160
And I really mean that. I'm old school on a

495
00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:50.480
lot of things. I'm very much aware of modern technology.

496
00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:54.119
I keep myself informed. I took a survey today for

497
00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:57.200
you you dot gov, and I've been taking surveys with

498
00:24:57.240 --> 00:24:59.920
them for years and and it was about you know,

499
00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:01.960
so how do you how do you keep it formed?

500
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:05.079
And how often do you do it? Do you do

501
00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:07.039
it on your phone? Do you do it on your computer?

502
00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:11.720
What social media platforms do you use? Yeah, and somebody

503
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:13.400
go ahead trade for here.

504
00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:16.799
No, it's interesting you said that because one of the

505
00:25:16.839 --> 00:25:20.279
things is is now now they're moving towards AI, and

506
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.400
so now you can't don't know what I mean. Some

507
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.200
stuff are okay, all right, that's AI. But sometimes some

508
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.039
stuff you just really don't know what to believe. You know,

509
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.960
there are a lot of people scamming folks left and right,

510
00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:38.200
you know, doing If people spend half the time that

511
00:25:38.240 --> 00:25:41.599
they're trying to get over or scam and if they

512
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.799
use their brains for good, we would be in a

513
00:25:44.839 --> 00:25:49.680
lot better place. But too busy trying to hack stuff. Yeah,

514
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:52.640
and it's scary. So I think people are scared to touch.

515
00:25:52.880 --> 00:25:56.640
Take the CPR with the older way, it's not working anymore.

516
00:25:57.240 --> 00:26:01.720
CPR has changed, so the compressions I think are they're quicker,

517
00:26:02.039 --> 00:26:05.519
they're more rapid, and it's more of them to to breath,

518
00:26:05.640 --> 00:26:08.960
so you don't it's not like it is.

519
00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:10.200
It's not like it used to be.

520
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.960
And I think it's I want to say, it's thirty

521
00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:14.559
fast compressions in one breath.

522
00:26:14.920 --> 00:26:16.400
Uh, and then that's repetitive.

523
00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:20.519
So yeah, it has changed since I remember taking it

524
00:26:20.559 --> 00:26:24.119
as well, but we still use it's not the whole, yes,

525
00:26:24.279 --> 00:26:26.440
it's the little chess thing. And then I think we

526
00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:30.079
do the child CPR that that's different. I don't know

527
00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:32.720
we did that growing up or years ago. But I

528
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.920
remember the adults Annie and hitting you know upside wherever

529
00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:45.279
you hit them, Okay.

530
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.559
You know, Yeah, it was a lot of a lot of.

531
00:26:43.519 --> 00:26:45.440
Little stuff that you had to kind of Okay, this

532
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:47.519
feels weird, but I know I got to do it.

533
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.559
So but it's it's it depends on where you get

534
00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:54.400
your your information. And I say that, you know, it's

535
00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:57.880
it's funny, we're talking about literacy. But if you ask

536
00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:01.640
a group of people that watched this particular platform, you

537
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:03.960
get that answer. If you watch people that watch that

538
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.480
particular platform, you get the other answer. And oddly enough,

539
00:27:08.559 --> 00:27:11.920
if you watch what the reporting on, one of them

540
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.960
leans closer to the truth than the other one. The

541
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:16.240
other one is I don't know what they leading forwards

542
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.880
and a lot I'm not trying to be funny, but

543
00:27:19.359 --> 00:27:20.680
I said, well, what are people watching?

544
00:27:20.759 --> 00:27:21.279
Do they do?

545
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:23.319
They not know? And a lot of times they don't

546
00:27:23.400 --> 00:27:27.440
know because they don't really want to know, because I

547
00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:28.160
want to see what.

548
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:33.480
Other people are saying. Whether I like the news station

549
00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:34.039
or not.

550
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.079
You need to know what people are watching because that's

551
00:27:37.160 --> 00:27:41.599
what makes people afraid when people here. Okay, so if

552
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:43.920
you've never then I say that I'm jumping all over

553
00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:44.279
the place.

554
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.839
But say that when you're on the Facebook.

555
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:50.680
If I have people on my Facebook, page that look

556
00:27:50.839 --> 00:27:57.720
like me, different nationalities, racist, religions, beliefs, you know, all genders.

557
00:27:57.799 --> 00:28:02.279
You know, that's what my Facebook circle looks like.

558
00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:06.000
And so I find myself trying to learn and understand

559
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:08.920
why people do or their beliefs.

560
00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:09.559
Because I want to understand.

561
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:11.039
I don't want to be a literature I don't want

562
00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.039
to be afraid walking around of a group of people

563
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:17.759
that that is scary. But if I understand it, you know,

564
00:28:18.759 --> 00:28:21.319
that's you. You know, if this is your belief, this

565
00:28:21.400 --> 00:28:24.599
is your belief. At the end of the day, God's

566
00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:27.319
gonna judge us all. And so I don't have time

567
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:30.680
to sit there and judge other people by their beliefs,

568
00:28:30.720 --> 00:28:34.079
particularly now I might not agree with it, but I.

569
00:28:34.000 --> 00:28:34.880
Still want to know.

570
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.400
I don't want to be ill informed and be afraid

571
00:28:37.559 --> 00:28:41.519
of people that don't believe in what I believe in. Now,

572
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.759
you know, it's crazy as crazy, as crazy as crazy.

573
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:46.440
And I'm not talking about mental health phrase, I'm just

574
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:50.039
talking about crazy crazy, Like where did you get that

575
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:50.799
thought from?

576
00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:51.359
You know?

577
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:58.200
So I think we need to know more about cultures, races, religions,

578
00:28:58.480 --> 00:28:59.480
and whatever.

579
00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:00.079
Else there needs to know.

580
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.119
And like I said, I think we will find out

581
00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:05.000
we have more in common than good. If all of

582
00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.119
us walked around with a black hood on our face

583
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:09.799
and couldn't see anything and just had conversations with people.

584
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:11.240
I wish we could do that.

585
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.519
Just make the room dark, you can't see anything, distort

586
00:29:14.559 --> 00:29:17.920
the voices, and just have a conversation about something, have

587
00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:21.640
a topic of conversation about something, and whenever the lights

588
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.079
are turned on and the voices, he said, wow, I

589
00:29:24.119 --> 00:29:27.039
was having a conversation with you. I didn't realize that. Yeah,

590
00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:30.680
because you're too busy trying to look at something that

591
00:29:30.720 --> 00:29:34.079
you think you're seeing and determine this is the just

592
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.799
because they look or saying certain things, this is definitely

593
00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.759
or act a certain way, I'm sorry, or beliefs, so

594
00:29:40.960 --> 00:29:43.680
you know that. That's my passion. I just wish we

595
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:49.000
knew more history. I think people need to know read history,

596
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:52.039
you know, read it, read about it, read the read.

597
00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.000
Good the bad, and yeah.

598
00:29:53.920 --> 00:29:56.240
Read the good the bad, and you might not like it,

599
00:29:56.599 --> 00:29:59.920
but you'll learn something. But don't just try to erase

600
00:30:00.039 --> 00:30:01.160
and say it didn't happen.

601
00:30:02.039 --> 00:30:08.119
So one best topic of AI. Our professors now want

602
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.000
us to use it more than ever. And I was

603
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:13.680
confused when I've seen it on my syllabus like use

604
00:30:13.720 --> 00:30:15.920
AI and stuff like don't be afraid to use it,

605
00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.160
and I'm like, okay, we're not using our actual knowledge

606
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.759
on certain topics anymore. And I actually would use, like

607
00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:26.640
for one of my math classes or whatever, I used

608
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:28.720
AI to check my answer because usually I just do

609
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:31.839
it by myself without any cheating or anything like that.

610
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:33.160
And AI was wrong.

611
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:36.720
And it's crazy that a lot of people rely on

612
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.880
and although you know it's they're still working to develop

613
00:30:39.920 --> 00:30:41.319
it and make it better than ever.

614
00:30:41.240 --> 00:30:43.640
And stuff like that. But although she.

615
00:30:43.720 --> 00:30:46.000
Was speaking on old ways as far as CPR and

616
00:30:46.039 --> 00:30:47.880
stuff like that, I feel like the old ways is

617
00:30:47.920 --> 00:30:50.200
just much better than the new ways because even when

618
00:30:50.240 --> 00:30:52.640
I'm writing my notes, a lot of my classmates they

619
00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:56.039
use like online apps to like write it on their

620
00:30:56.079 --> 00:30:59.200
iPads and stuff. I need pen and paper to do

621
00:30:59.240 --> 00:31:01.359
stuff because it's like like I'm not gonna I can't

622
00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:01.799
stay at the.

623
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:03.240
Screen all day and everything like that.

624
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:06.599
And literally, as a whole, I just feel like, you know,

625
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:08.680
these are the knowledge and skills that are needed to

626
00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:12.559
make informed decisions and to secure better future, just being

627
00:31:12.599 --> 00:31:14.039
knowledgeable overall.

628
00:31:14.480 --> 00:31:17.640
So yeah, that's a good.

629
00:31:18.400 --> 00:31:23.119
Ooh oh, I got I got something. Oh no, no, no,

630
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:24.960
I was listening to mistake and when she was.

631
00:31:24.880 --> 00:31:28.480
Saying using the computers, Ms. Gray, do you remember the

632
00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:32.680
times of Cyclopedia? That's all we had. There was nothing

633
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:34.039
else and the cyclope And.

634
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.039
If it wasn't that, where else am I supposed to

635
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:37.039
find this information?

636
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:40.240
You know exactly just late at night. You can't get

637
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.079
to the library.

638
00:31:41.319 --> 00:31:43.319
You know, that's real weak.

639
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:45.880
That's what we had out and it was a reference

640
00:31:45.920 --> 00:31:47.839
book and you couldn't take it out of the library.

641
00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:50.640
You had to sit in there and go through those pages.

642
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:53.000
You can't know what you high like nothing, and you

643
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:54.920
had to sit down there and write your notes and

644
00:31:54.960 --> 00:31:57.839
copy it word for word, you copy it paragraphs or

645
00:32:00.599 --> 00:32:05.440
man your parents born, but they first set up Encyclopedia.

646
00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:07.359
So I'm like, oh my god.

647
00:32:07.680 --> 00:32:11.359
Yeah, yeah, it was, it was. It was. It was

648
00:32:11.359 --> 00:32:14.400
not that was different. But I appreciate it.

649
00:32:14.440 --> 00:32:16.680
And I never understood what the library to do it

650
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:19.480
decimal system. I know my sister did, and I know

651
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:21.720
it was there, but I never truly understand it. But

652
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.240
I remember having to go to the library to the

653
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:27.079
car five picked the car and try to find that

654
00:32:27.119 --> 00:32:31.720
particular book. It was different, and I think now older

655
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.240
ways are better because you don't do cursive anymore. I

656
00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:38.720
learned cursive in third grade. We started learning cursive in

657
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.759
third grade. And my thing is the other thing is

658
00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:47.200
okay older ways. Oh I had my thought. I lost it,

659
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:51.960
but I think getting away, we didn't have miss grave.

660
00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:54.839
Remember our toys didn't talk unless we made it talk.

661
00:32:54.880 --> 00:32:56.240
We didn't have battery put.

662
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:58.480
In the back up. We had to move the mouth

663
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:01.640
or backt like we were behind. I make a walk

664
00:33:01.680 --> 00:33:04.039
in aff walk exactly.

665
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:07.799
So we had to use creative stuff and and and

666
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.880
the calculator. I think we start. We didn't use a

667
00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:14.559
calculator till later, but I still didn't trust it, like addition,

668
00:33:14.920 --> 00:33:15.880
you know stuff.

669
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:19.599
I know you need the calculator with but that general.

670
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:22.039
Math, yeah, long math, you know, we we had to

671
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:24.920
learn that. And right now short because if you asked

672
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.359
me to do a shortcut, I couldn't tell you to

673
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.759
do it. I still have to write it out because

674
00:33:28.759 --> 00:33:30.880
I need to know how I got the answer. So

675
00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:34.440
that's a that's a different way of things, you know. Yeah,

676
00:33:34.759 --> 00:33:35.680
oh we crossed this.

677
00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:39.920
I said, what are you doing? That's the new math?

678
00:33:40.359 --> 00:33:44.240
I said, how do you do that. I couldn't have boxes,

679
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:45.880
I said, are the box is going?

680
00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:51.640
They are so though, because I have my tutor students.

681
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.519
And my student was like, you know, I'm annoy it

682
00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:56.839
with my classes and I'm like why she's in elementary

683
00:33:57.119 --> 00:33:59.839
and she was like, that's cursive and now we're learning.

684
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.039
I don't know how to write that. You know it's easy.

685
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:05.920
I said, I did it in school, so you can

686
00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.200
do it.

687
00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:14.039
So taught yourself. Yeah, how are you writing cursor? We

688
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.960
can't understand what you're saying in the cursing.

689
00:34:16.280 --> 00:34:18.639
And I'm like, man, I couldn't wait to learn cursor.

690
00:34:19.320 --> 00:34:21.800
I couldn't. I was dropping. We were writing that is

691
00:34:21.840 --> 00:34:24.679
the circle stuff. Before I learned how to learn it

692
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:28.880
just was Yeah, it's an art. I wish. I wish

693
00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:31.039
people would still just pick up.

694
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:34.239
It's always good because you're gonna have to sign your checks.

695
00:34:34.400 --> 00:34:36.360
It's a you know, I know that we're moving away

696
00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:38.119
from doing that, but there is a time where you

697
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:40.440
might have to sign a check and you need to

698
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:43.760
have something that's different than nobody else can duplicate.

699
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:50.039
You know. It's people just understand. In the take free

700
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.840
book section of the Hey Ky, you should have just

701
00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:56.920
taken on because they're ancient.

702
00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:00.719
Now those are antiques you could have got, so you

703
00:35:00.760 --> 00:35:04.760
could have gone, man, it should have taken over. Yeah,

704
00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:08.599
I mean those it's just it's just amazing how far

705
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:12.199
were coming. We appreciate technology, We appreciate it. You know,

706
00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:17.280
God created those scientists and those creativity people, those IT people.

707
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:20.519
He created them to have that interest in learning more.

708
00:35:21.000 --> 00:35:24.880
But it gets perverted, it gets it gets you make

709
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:27.800
it dark now because I mean, now you got people

710
00:35:27.840 --> 00:35:31.119
who totally depending, who are totally addicted to AI. Now

711
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:34.119
you've got people making relationships out of AI robots and

712
00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:36.639
all that kind of stuff and don't want to there's

713
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.000
a group now, there's a whole group of them now

714
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:41.840
that just this is my boyfriend and he's a robot.

715
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.280
And I'm like, okay, and I'm not touching.

716
00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:44.679
I'm glad.

717
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:48.280
I'm retiring from therapy. I'm three months going on now.

718
00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:51.440
Nobody has called me for that, Thank you Jesus, because

719
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:53.639
I will not deal with that. I don't wouldn't even

720
00:35:53.679 --> 00:35:56.679
know how to deal with somebody coming in who's addicted

721
00:35:56.719 --> 00:35:59.880
to their robot, who's addicted to their computer, who's addicted

722
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:02.719
to a I you know, and and and and just

723
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:06.760
like with everything is to enhance, it's to make you

724
00:36:06.840 --> 00:36:09.159
get better and to be better. But it's not for

725
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:12.559
you to idolize it. It's not that hey, okay, yes,

726
00:36:12.599 --> 00:36:14.840
the cyclopedia. We need School House Rock.

727
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:20.000
Yes, really, I love school. I love school. Grandma's not

728
00:36:20.039 --> 00:36:21.519
your grammars your grammar.

729
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:23.239
Yes, yes, yeah.

730
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.480
And we need street back were not with perverted people,

731
00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:29.159
but we need Sesame Street bag, you know, and you

732
00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:31.360
tell me how to get how to get to Sesame Street.

733
00:36:31.559 --> 00:36:32.559
That's a whole different.

734
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:35.559
It was and it was engaging. It wasn't something that

735
00:36:35.679 --> 00:36:39.000
was being thrown at the kids. And okay, you entertain

736
00:36:39.079 --> 00:36:42.920
It wasn't entertainment. It was creativity time. You're gonna learn this.

737
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:46.360
You're gonna learn how to how Oscar the grouching and

738
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:49.519
and Ernie and all those folks got along and you know,

739
00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:52.000
community and how everybody was different.

740
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:54.639
You learn things you know you just didn't. It wasn't

741
00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:58.159
just thrown at people. And I think that this technology

742
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:02.199
now has taken away the creativity piece in the sense

743
00:37:03.000 --> 00:37:05.280
that you're not allowing me to sit and say, now,

744
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.719
how can I use this? How can I use this?

745
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:12.000
And and and why is it like that.

746
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:14.840
And I'm sure you all have been on Microsoft, I

747
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:18.800
mean on social on Facebook, and you see Microsoft made

748
00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.119
a big announcement of about a week ago.

749
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:25.199
We've been we found matter. We've been working with it

750
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:28.519
for over a year. So we can control it. These

751
00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:29.400
are their words.

752
00:37:29.960 --> 00:37:32.639
Now we can control it, and we're gonna place it

753
00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:35.000
on a chip and we're gonna put in a computer

754
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:39.800
and it's going to out Max are supercomputers that are

755
00:37:39.800 --> 00:37:43.079
in different countries. Now, they tell me the supercomputers are

756
00:37:43.159 --> 00:37:45.920
as long as what fifty school forty to fifty school

757
00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:49.000
buses lined up, And I do know that there's one

758
00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:53.159
in Australia that's the super Compute. So they found something.

759
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.280
They don't open up a wormhole somewhere. And then now

760
00:37:56.320 --> 00:37:58.920
you're talking and I said this the other person to

761
00:37:58.960 --> 00:38:01.159
a person the other day. I said, you've opened up

762
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:04.760
a hole somewhere. You reached in there and you got something,

763
00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:07.159
but you've forgotten to close the whole back. Now we

764
00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:09.920
got people walking around here saying they singing aliens and stuff.

765
00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:13.639
And you know, I've watched enough Star Trek, I'm watching

766
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:16.920
up Galaxy stuff. I know you open up a hole,

767
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.360
you don't close it something coming through. That's all I'm

768
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.719
gonna say. That's all I'm going to say. But now

769
00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:24.400
you're gonna take this matter, whatever this is, whatever this

770
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.920
gunk is, now you can control it. Those are their words.

771
00:38:28.960 --> 00:38:32.960
This is Microsoft. I even know Microsoft is still around making.

772
00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.159
I know it's associated with Gates and all those boys.

773
00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:41.360
But as no one watched the movie Terminator or goodness.

774
00:38:40.639 --> 00:38:43.039
Thank you, thank you, I just I.

775
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:47.760
Just binge watched dark Fate Terminator yesterday. I'm sitting there

776
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:50.559
like whoa, and it gets good every time because you know,

777
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:51.320
I just loved it.

778
00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:53.559
But yeah, and even though.

779
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:56.440
You're gonna make these robots, I robot, You're absolutely right,

780
00:38:56.840 --> 00:38:59.880
what do they do? They eventually want turn on each other.

781
00:39:00.039 --> 00:39:02.519
They'll turn on you, and they're gonna turn on each other.

782
00:39:02.800 --> 00:39:05.039
So if you don't want to believe that, fine, but

783
00:39:05.159 --> 00:39:07.239
now you're gonna every household is gonna be able to

784
00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:09.480
have a robot.

785
00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:12.880
I don't want to see a robot ms kay in.

786
00:39:12.880 --> 00:39:19.719
Your industry, shampool and hair. Perhaps the people here you're

787
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:22.159
not doing that. I can't see that.

788
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:27.480
I can't see a robot, uh sitting across from somebody

789
00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:31.239
and counseling them. But their creators just said, no, they

790
00:39:31.239 --> 00:39:34.119
can outthink humans. Okay, well you're gonna be the first's

791
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:34.679
go turn on.

792
00:39:35.039 --> 00:39:37.840
Thank you. Look at Godzilla and and and King Kong.

793
00:39:37.960 --> 00:39:39.079
Okay watch those movies.

794
00:39:39.079 --> 00:39:42.800
Now watch those movies, and you make a mechanical Godzilla.

795
00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:45.440
Oh okay, whether they do it came after the creator.

796
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:49.440
So you need to be informed. Don't be afraid of knowledge.

797
00:39:49.639 --> 00:39:52.440
You need to peek your head in on this AI stuff.

798
00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:54.920
Peek your head in just to see what.

799
00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:56.639
It's talking about. Now you can.

800
00:39:56.719 --> 00:39:58.559
I can look at some of the stuff that's generated

801
00:39:59.000 --> 00:40:01.719
text whether eat and I look at it and it's

802
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:03.679
not it's not looking right. It don't look like a

803
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.639
normal human being wrote it. So I immediately deleted. I

804
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:11.440
immediately deleted. And now you know in Facebook to me

805
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:13.239
is not catching these thieves.

806
00:40:13.239 --> 00:40:15.840
Who are they'll offer a situation.

807
00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:18.599
My daughter, I was looking at something how to become

808
00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:22.400
an AI consultant. That's the newest one now, So I

809
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.079
was gonna just go and pop my head and see

810
00:40:24.079 --> 00:40:26.119
what they're talking about. And my baby said to me,

811
00:40:27.639 --> 00:40:29.000
how did they present that to you?

812
00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:30.840
Even her brother.

813
00:40:30.639 --> 00:40:33.280
Said, well, yeah, what what is that all about? How

814
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:35.639
you go on zoom to do it?

815
00:40:35.719 --> 00:40:36.559
Did they you know?

816
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:40.199
And I'm like, okay, if these two starts questioning it,

817
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:40.880
I'm out.

818
00:40:41.239 --> 00:40:42.719
And thank god I couldn't make the meeting.

819
00:40:42.920 --> 00:40:47.280
I deleted everything I followed, unsubscribed everything it was on Facebook.

820
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:47.519
Though.

821
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.000
Can you imagine a robot twisting a pear rock, you

822
00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:58.239
know in the station, Okay, take it and mixing up

823
00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:01.199
the perm stuff that they canna put it on your

824
00:41:01.199 --> 00:41:02.360
head with what the spatula?

825
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:05.559
It's crazy.

826
00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:11.239
A lot of jobs on indeed, as far as AI stuff,

827
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:16.400
so like different AI technicians and stuff like that, Like

828
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.320
it's like a lot of them. I seen and I

829
00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:22.039
was like, wow, everything's like going AI based where people

830
00:41:22.079 --> 00:41:24.880
want you to work with AI or it's like a

831
00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.400
it's similar to like counseling AAR or like helping it

832
00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:31.360
develop more. It was like one of the Yeah, they

833
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:35.519
want input and it's crazy human it's crazy.

834
00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:38.920
Yeah, it's a sad day that we're headed. But how

835
00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:41.880
is it gonna eradicate homelessness? A bunch of robots gonna

836
00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:45.599
pick a bill houses for the homeless. They're gonna go

837
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.079
and sit and quilt and make quilts and make you know,

838
00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:50.760
and where's my quilting group.

839
00:41:50.800 --> 00:41:54.599
Where's my cruche group out there? Y'all buy some robots

840
00:41:54.639 --> 00:41:59.559
and thenigna do your child. I think that y'all got to.

841
00:41:59.559 --> 00:42:03.119
Get all out up in the little you know, between

842
00:42:03.159 --> 00:42:04.840
this stuff. I mean, you know, and I know we're

843
00:42:04.920 --> 00:42:07.960
laughing about it, but this is a serious hour. This

844
00:42:08.079 --> 00:42:11.800
is a serious hour. And we've got enemies out there,

845
00:42:12.440 --> 00:42:16.960
you know, and everything. Oh no, oh no, yeah, but

846
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:19.599
our kids. I watched kids and the little boy was

847
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.559
upset because the mother wouldn't let him see her phone.

848
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:23.519
He couldn't.

849
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:25.719
The kids are bringing in their little iPads so they

850
00:42:25.719 --> 00:42:29.000
could keep calm and keep quiet. No, I didn't have

851
00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:31.480
a toy. I didn't bring a toy out outside of

852
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.280
my house. I didn't put a toy in my mother's

853
00:42:34.320 --> 00:42:36.719
car when we were going to the store, going to

854
00:42:36.800 --> 00:42:41.480
visit people. No, we were engaged. The kids went outside

855
00:42:41.480 --> 00:42:43.599
and played with each other. I went in their rooms

856
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.280
and played. No, we didn't sit down and want and

857
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:49.000
we watched some TV. But it was all cartoons. It

858
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:52.320
was all you know, and we're laughing and everything else. No,

859
00:42:53.079 --> 00:42:55.000
I watch parents now. I love the people.

860
00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:55.679
Watch now.

861
00:42:56.039 --> 00:42:58.119
And I'll stop and just I'll stop right in the

862
00:42:58.159 --> 00:42:59.519
middle of the store and said, now I'm going to

863
00:42:59.559 --> 00:43:01.440
see how this is this.

864
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:03.559
Going to pan out. People are angry.

865
00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:07.559
Couples are walking together and they're angry, and you can

866
00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:08.360
tell they don't.

867
00:43:08.239 --> 00:43:11.400
Want to get that. Get that. I'm like, y'all came

868
00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:15.360
out the house like this and you don't hear that.

869
00:43:15.400 --> 00:43:19.480
We are looking at y'all you don't care. So you

870
00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:22.920
still need to be informed. You still need to be literate.

871
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.119
You still need to gain understanding and knowledge. You still

872
00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:30.280
need to do that to survive, to live, to be

873
00:43:30.360 --> 00:43:33.039
a monkst to move around me. I just found the

874
00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:38.440
definition or their mission statements the US Citizenship and Immigration Services.

875
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:41.000
We must ensure all aliens.

876
00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:44.639
Applying for citizenship understand the rights and privileges of becoming

877
00:43:44.639 --> 00:43:50.039
a US citizen, adequately understand the English language, and ultimately

878
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:54.239
demonstrate an attachment to the Constitution of the United States.

879
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:57.079
So before you take that, everyone walking around with their

880
00:43:57.079 --> 00:43:58.239
face and their self, Oh.

881
00:43:58.079 --> 00:43:59.880
My god, do you know how many people I had this?

882
00:44:00.440 --> 00:44:02.239
Tell look up, look up, look up, you're about to

883
00:44:02.280 --> 00:44:06.280
hit me all ages. A lady I watched that public.

884
00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:09.599
She walked from her car on the phone talking to somebody,

885
00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:14.199
walked into the store, grabbed her basket, still talking to somebody.

886
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:18.239
I'll have a brother in Germany if I can't I

887
00:44:18.400 --> 00:44:20.719
And I know that's gonna be an hour call because

888
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.719
he's calling me on his landline.

889
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.239
From his landline, I'm not gonna I'm about to go

890
00:44:25.280 --> 00:44:26.760
in the store. I'm not gonna get on the phone

891
00:44:26.760 --> 00:44:29.559
with him. He knows, Okay. I quickly let it go

892
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:31.079
to voicemail. He knows.

893
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:33.800
And guess what, He'll call me back later to make

894
00:44:33.840 --> 00:44:37.360
sure I'm home. This lady walked around in publics today,

895
00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:39.079
still on the phone.

896
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.199
I'm like, that is that what we come to? Now?

897
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:46.199
Everybody carries their phone. Women, they have their handbags, they

898
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.719
have their maternity bag, the baby bag, and they still

899
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:50.800
carry the phone.

900
00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:52.679
What are you doing?

901
00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:55.719
And people are driving even though it's against the law

902
00:44:55.920 --> 00:44:58.119
to driving. People don't driving. And I can tell when

903
00:44:58.159 --> 00:45:01.440
they're arguing, they're upset. They're doing this on the road.

904
00:45:01.639 --> 00:45:04.199
They're not paying attention. One lady was coming up behind

905
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.800
me and she's looking over this way. In the Cars

906
00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:09.079
Fail movie, I'm like, I'm trying to move out the way.

907
00:45:09.360 --> 00:45:12.920
What you're doing, Go hit me, Go hit somebody else.

908
00:45:13.280 --> 00:45:19.280
Go inconvenience somebody else. Thank you, lak I saw yeahs.

909
00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:23.800
You gotta just open yourself up to your surroundings. Okay,

910
00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:26.079
what am I doing here? How am I you know?

911
00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:29.079
Okay? Why am I here? And looking at my time? Okay?

912
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:31.440
How much time I have here? And oh we are

913
00:45:31.559 --> 00:45:34.800
