00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.839
Hi, everyone, Welcome back to another episode of Motivation Zone.
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:06.400
It is your host here, Monica Mayz. Super excited to
3
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.560
be here with you guys, and we're going to dive
4
00:00:08.599 --> 00:00:12.000
into the topic of economic differences. And man, I have
5
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.560
so much I want to say about this topic because
6
00:00:15.599 --> 00:00:18.359
I know that it's an im important one and it
7
00:00:18.440 --> 00:00:21.960
is one that we are currently missing just hitting a
8
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.760
bypass button every time we want to dive into the
9
00:00:24.760 --> 00:00:27.800
discussion of politics. And this is something that we really
10
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:31.480
need to be paying attention to as we're moving forward
11
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:37.240
in America and discussing American economy. So let me talk
12
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:40.359
about first what I've been seeing in the headlines, and
13
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.880
that is hip hop artist rapper however you want to
14
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:47.240
label her, Nicki Minaj is catching all the smoke from
15
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.359
her fans for supporting Trump. She recently spoke at one
16
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:54.359
of Trump's events here in twenty twenty six, and that
17
00:00:54.479 --> 00:00:59.280
event was the Treasury Department Summit. When I was researching
18
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.799
why she was at this event and what the event
19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:05.159
was about and what Trump was promoting, I said, you know,
20
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:09.120
I think it's really terrible that what this event was
21
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:12.400
really about is not in the forefront of the headlines.
22
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.400
It is really disgusting to me how the media is
23
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.640
promoting the opposition against Trump instead of really helping Americans
24
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:26.319
see some of the things he's really striving to do.
25
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:29.359
And I do feel like this A lot of us
26
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.959
are getting annoyed by this, but I think that we
27
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.120
should keep our cool and eventually time is going to
28
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.319
tell what's really going on around us and who's really
29
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.000
doing is support and what. When I was reading up
30
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.120
on what this event was about and the fact that
31
00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:47.480
Trump is promoting what he calls Trump accounts, I was like,
32
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:50.120
what is a Trump account? It's a dog on shame
33
00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:54.200
that I don't see this being promoted in my timeline.
34
00:01:54.280 --> 00:01:58.040
And it's always drama and this person is not supporting Trump,
35
00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:00.640
or this person is saying this, or this person is
36
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:04.359
getting bas forward supporting Trump. It is terrible. And so
37
00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.560
when I read up on this, I say, you know what,
38
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.240
I have to share this in my next podcast. And
39
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.759
it is right on time that I came across this
40
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:17.560
information because it goes right in line with our economic
41
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:21.240
differences and it speaks on something I have desired to
42
00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:25.000
see happening in America for a very long time. So
43
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:30.599
Trump accounts right now Trump is considering the children. At
44
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.360
the Department of Treasury summit, he wanted to speak on
45
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.240
the Trump Accounts and let Americans know what he had
46
00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:43.120
in store for newborns who are born between January the first,
47
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:47.680
twenty twenty five up to December of twenty twenty eight.
48
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:51.039
So this is going to be something that exists throughout
49
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:55.840
the duration of his administration. So the Trump Accounts is
50
00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.080
something that they're going to invest in as the government
51
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:03.120
put in, putting in one thousand dollars for each child
52
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:07.080
born between that timeframe of twenty twenty five and twenty
53
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:11.319
twenty eight. And what they're leaving this account, it's a
54
00:03:11.439 --> 00:03:15.360
savings account for the children. And what's going to happen
55
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:18.400
is once those children get older, they can either use
56
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:21.599
that money to invest in school, they can purchase their
57
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:25.199
first home, or they can start a business. And what
58
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.840
I have loved about this idea since reading and researching
59
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.479
on it is the fact that they're giving the children
60
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.039
an option as to what they want to use the
61
00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:37.879
money for. So that is an awesome thing. When I
62
00:03:38.199 --> 00:03:41.639
research and I'm hearing about it, I'm saying, Wow, to
63
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.400
give them an opportunity to choose what it is they
64
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.159
really want to do is amazing me personally. I had
65
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.120
this conversation with my husband a long time ago. This
66
00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:54.199
was when we were first friends, and we were always
67
00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:57.719
talking about the economy and whether we were going to
68
00:03:57.759 --> 00:03:59.520
go to college and all of these things, just getting
69
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:01.759
to know each other, feeling each other out. And one
70
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:06.319
thing I told him was, I don't see myself investing
71
00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.360
in a college degree. This is really how I felt
72
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:14.039
about it. I believe that education is very important. Of course,
73
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.000
we need to always be learning, that is my thoughts
74
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.199
on it. But the amount of money we have and
75
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.160
to pay to learn is insane to me. And I
76
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.160
was thinking to myself, if I'm gonna be investing thirty
77
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.360
forty fifty thousand dollars and going into that much debt
78
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:33.720
for something, let it be something that I can use
79
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:38.079
long term. You know. That's tangible to me. And investing
80
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.759
in real estate is a big one. If someone is
81
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:43.920
smart enough to take thousands of dollars and begin to
82
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:46.319
invest in that, that they're going to instantly be get
83
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:52.600
a return off of doing that, because your property value
84
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.040
goes up in time depending on the course where you're
85
00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:58.000
purchasing and all of that. So I'm thinking to myself,
86
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.160
why would I put myself in that much debt for that?
87
00:05:01.800 --> 00:05:04.360
And of course I've always believed in going into debt
88
00:05:04.399 --> 00:05:08.720
for a business. Now, mind you, once again, education is important,
89
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:11.759
and there are certain industries where it is mandatory. You
90
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.040
can't go operating on people and giving people law advice
91
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.879
and all these things without having the knowledge of these
92
00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:22.319
particular skills and industries. So the education is always important.
93
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.000
But do we need to be paying as much as
94
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.800
we are for those educations is the million dollar question.
95
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.199
But with that being said, Trump doing this is amazing.
96
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.600
This is a conversation that I've had for so very
97
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.319
long coming up. I always thought it was weird for
98
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.800
parents to only be saving up for a kid to
99
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.240
go to college. I'm like, why not go ahead and
100
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.879
put that kid in their first home, in their first car,
101
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:51.319
you know, all of these things. Why not do that first?
102
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:54.600
And then let's talk about education and all these things.
103
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.600
Let's talk about you know, businesses and all that, But
104
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:01.000
first let's have a place that we can get started with.
105
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:03.560
You know what I mean. It just it made sense
106
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.839
to me, is that everybody's path and even moving forward,
107
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.959
is not going to be everybody's path. But I'm hoping
108
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:15.360
that parents take advantage of what's happening and what Trump
109
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.079
is putting out here in the forefront. I hope they
110
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:21.439
take advantage of it. And it's saying here that parents
111
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:26.399
or guardians, employers they can also invest in these same accounts,
112
00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:29.319
and it looks like it's up to about five thousand
113
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:32.560
dollars annually. But I'm trying to find out if that's
114
00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:36.000
per person investing or how that works, because I can't
115
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.800
really see them saying total only five thousand can be
116
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:42.839
invested in the savings account. I would feel like that's
117
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.000
really putting a major cap on that. But hopefully parents
118
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.079
will take advantage of it. But no, this is something
119
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:51.920
that people really don't want to talk about. And the
120
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:54.680
thing about it is many other countries are doing this
121
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.759
very thing. They're looking out for the economy of their
122
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.079
locals and that that is what we're supposed to be doing.
123
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:05.759
But this is not at the forefront. Nicki minaj Is
124
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:10.079
And when I first dived into this topic, I was
125
00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.920
going to say, you know what I want to tell
126
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:16.399
Trump if I was, you know, someone advising him, I
127
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:20.240
would say, leave these celebrities on the back end and
128
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:24.199
begin to talk and deal more with the people who
129
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.160
are working class Americans, who are in basic industries, who
130
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:34.279
are in corporations where the people are benefiting from those corporations,
131
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.560
and really start to hear the things that they need
132
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.560
and what they've benefited from so far, and let's use
133
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.600
them and bring them to the forefront. And personally, I
134
00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:48.680
still feel that way. I do feel like celebrities and
135
00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:51.759
entertainers need to be more on the back end of
136
00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:55.759
these political campaigns. And I was going to say shenanigans,
137
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.439
because that's what it is sometimes, but I really feel
138
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.160
like they need to be on a back burner and
139
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.120
we need to be looking at the everyday Americans. We also,
140
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:08.639
I want to hear more from the people who actually
141
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:15.480
have organizations in America who has helped Americans thrive, find homes,
142
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.079
find jobs, start businesses. These are the people we don't
143
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.079
hear a lot from. They're on the ground, they're doing
144
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:25.079
a lot of the groundwork, but no one's going out
145
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:28.160
and really interviewing them. And I'm not going to say
146
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:31.800
to make them famous, not at all, but to at
147
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.639
least hear what they've been seeing, what they have aided
148
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.440
in and allowed them to speak for the people because
149
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.159
they have helped so many people. Does that make sense?
150
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:47.440
So this is my thoughts as I'm doing this research,
151
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.480
and I did think that this was absolutely amazing hearing
152
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.399
about these accounts for these babies and the fact that
153
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:57.759
they will have something as they're getting older that is amazing.
154
00:08:57.919 --> 00:09:04.159
And if the political parties and administrations do not begin
155
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:09.039
putting this out here, if Trump's administration fails to push
156
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:12.519
this at the forefront as much as possible, then people
157
00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:17.159
aren't gonna know because unfortunately, our media outlets and those
158
00:09:17.200 --> 00:09:22.000
who are talking politics refuse to really let the people
159
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:24.200
know what's going on around them. And it is so
160
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.360
dog one sad. And so I'm gonna play you guys
161
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.679
something really quick here. I want you guys to hear,
162
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:34.879
and this is my thoughts on the economic differences. I
163
00:09:34.919 --> 00:09:36.679
want you guys to know that this is how I
164
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.960
really feel about it. I'm gonna plug it right here,
165
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:41.159
let you listen to it real quick, and I'm gonna
166
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.960
come back with the rest of my thoughts. When we
167
00:09:45.039 --> 00:09:48.840
talk about politics, immigration, or the government, we act like
168
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:53.039
everyone is having the same experience. We're not the working
169
00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:57.600
class experiences the government through taxes, bills, and inflation. Every
170
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:02.440
paycheck gets hit, every price increase hurts. A snap recipient
171
00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:07.399
experiences the government as support. The concern isn't taxes, it's
172
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:11.480
whether the help stays or disappears. These two groups can
173
00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:15.080
care about the same country and still feel very differently
174
00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:20.480
about the system. A local entrepreneur experiences policy as survival,
175
00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:25.639
one city, one economy, one chance to stay open. A
176
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:31.799
global entrepreneur or corporation experiences policy as strategy. Border moves,
177
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:36.360
money moves. Risks are spread out. They are not dealing
178
00:10:36.480 --> 00:10:41.360
with the same pressures. A student in America often speaks
179
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:45.000
from beliefs and hopes. Someone raising a family speaks from
180
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:50.639
responsibilities and stress. None of these perspectives are fake. They're
181
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:55.200
shaped by class. So when people say why can't we
182
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.399
just agree, it's because we're arguing from different realities. Don't
183
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:03.960
need everyone to think the same. We need to start
184
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:07.440
looking at where we are, recognize where we are not,
185
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:11.480
and understand where we want to go and start making
186
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:16.320
decisions accordingly. Okay, so you guys heard that. Those are
187
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:20.240
my thoughts on economic differences and why we are finding
188
00:11:20.279 --> 00:11:24.720
it so hard to get along and really come to agreements,
189
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.440
And I really feel like this we have come to
190
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:30.519
a place right now where a lot of people don't
191
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.159
want to hear the experiences of everyone else. We're kind
192
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:38.200
of in a society right now where the individual experience
193
00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.519
is the only experience that matters, and I feel like
194
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:44.879
that is the worst way to view things. And this
195
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:48.840
even boils all the way down to household experiences. Parents
196
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.159
need to be listening to the children, to the teens.
197
00:11:51.919 --> 00:11:54.799
The children need to understand some of what the parents
198
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.960
our experiences. And I've heard a lot of parents say, oh, well,
199
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:02.279
I'll shelter my kids from hearing the things or shield them,
200
00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:04.600
should I say, from hearing the things that I go through,
201
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:06.000
because I don't want to stress them out? And da
202
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:10.039
da da da. But some honesty, a little bit of showing,
203
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:14.080
show and tell of what is really going on around
204
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:17.519
them can be very beneficial because then I see, on
205
00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:21.480
the other end, what ends up happening with those parents
206
00:12:21.480 --> 00:12:24.960
who are shielding the child from the actual reality of
207
00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:29.519
certain information, experiences and all these things that's happening around them,
208
00:12:29.960 --> 00:12:32.480
is they begin to regret it later, going you don't
209
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.000
know what I've been through, you don't know what I've
210
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:38.080
experienced it. You have no respect, and I've done this, this,
211
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.679
this for you, And then that teenager or now adult
212
00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:44.360
is looking at that parent like, how am I supposed
213
00:12:44.360 --> 00:12:48.120
to sympathize with you and feel any of these ways?
214
00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.559
When you never told me anything. I see this happening
215
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.480
way too much. And when I tell you, guys, it
216
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.559
is a hot mess, it really is. And so our
217
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:03.960
experiences are really important to discuss across the board when
218
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:06.919
it comes down to our economic differences. And I do
219
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:11.840
believe overall, when it comes down to Trump's support and
220
00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:16.360
those who voted for him, including myself, I have spoken
221
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.240
from the working class perspective and I have spoken from
222
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.840
the local business perspective, and I've had both of those
223
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:29.600
my entire life. I've worked my entire life. I have
224
00:13:29.840 --> 00:13:33.679
thrived to have a business since I started my first job.
225
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.039
I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur. I knew
226
00:13:36.120 --> 00:13:39.320
I wanted to work for myself, and so the decisions
227
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:44.360
being made for taxes especially, I have always felt, let
228
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:47.840
me make sure I vote for the individual who's speaking
229
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:51.799
forward towards where I want to be, you know. And
230
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.879
so when I cast my first vote for a president,
231
00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:57.159
I was working at Chuck E. Cheese. That was my
232
00:13:57.200 --> 00:14:00.399
first job and I started there at sixteen years old
233
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:08.519
worked there until eighteen, and that was when I cast
234
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.559
my first vote. That was my first eye opening that
235
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.159
I'm not voting based on where I currently am. I'm
236
00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:17.960
going to vote for someone based on where I want
237
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.759
to go. And at the time, Bush was running against Carrie,
238
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.679
and I could not stand John Carry. I don't know
239
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:28.279
where he is today. I hope that you know he's
240
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.919
doing well somewhere, but I could not give him my vote,
241
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.679
and he was doing something very similar to what I'm saying.
242
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:41.440
I really do despise when it comes down to the
243
00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.799
presidential campaigns and you know, all the political campaigns and
244
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.720
things like that, when they use celebrities, because Carrie's was
245
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:52.919
bringing on every rapper, every entertainer he can think of
246
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.960
to speak and I'm like, these people are saying absolutely nothing.
247
00:14:57.279 --> 00:14:59.639
Then they may dance, they may sing, they may rap.
248
00:15:00.039 --> 00:15:03.000
I'm like, and then this is supposed to persuade me
249
00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:08.120
to vote for you. Not happening because they're not speaking forward,
250
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.919
they're not speaking towards what we really want. And the
251
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:16.200
situation here with the economy in America is we can't
252
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.600
base the economy on today. It can't be only based
253
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:25.159
on today. That's what makes the Trump accounts so amazing
254
00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:29.759
is because he's moving forward with thinking about the children
255
00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:32.679
as they get older. And when it comes down to
256
00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:36.919
any good budget, any good management of funding or money
257
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:39.879
or anything, that is going to be someone who is
258
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:45.799
considering the future. They're considering three years, five years, ten years, fifteen,
259
00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:51.120
even years ahead. And in a economy where you're just
260
00:15:51.159 --> 00:15:55.080
speaking of a country and a mass group of people
261
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.480
who have the benefit, we have to start thinking ahead
262
00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:01.279
of that. And so when I cast my first vote,
263
00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:04.519
I wasn't thinking, oh, you know, I work at Chuggy
264
00:16:04.600 --> 00:16:07.840
Gee's and I'm going to vote for a president based on,
265
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.159
you know, my paycheck today. And the TAXI said, hey, no,
266
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:13.720
I'm going to vote for the person who's talking about
267
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.480
where they want to take my taxes a few years
268
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.960
from now, where they want to support entrepreneurs a few
269
00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:23.000
years from now. I'm going to vote for that person.
270
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.279
And that's what I did. And then fast forward here
271
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:32.200
I am years later, forty years old from eighteen. Okay,
272
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:35.279
so I've lived I can tell you this. I've chased
273
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:42.279
many businesses since then, I have ran successful businesses and
274
00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:46.960
really worked with a lot of awesome people since then,
275
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.679
and I can honestly say it is something I'm absolutely
276
00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:55.080
thrilled about because I can remember my eighteen year old
277
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.279
self wanting to do that. And when you launch a business,
278
00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.840
even when you get that first client, it is the
279
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:07.720
most amazing feeling, Honestly, it really is. And so to
280
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.559
get that, to say I want something that's my own
281
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:14.079
and I want to work for myself, that's a perspective
282
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.240
I've always had in my mind. So when I voted
283
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.400
for Trump this go round, it was very very similar.
284
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.279
Where does he want to take the economy years ahead?
285
00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:29.960
What can the American people benefit from that? Right? Where
286
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.240
will immigration be then? Because believe it or not, you guys,
287
00:17:34.400 --> 00:17:38.400
we still need to protect jobs for Americans regardless. And
288
00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:42.680
the whole analogy, and the word on the street is
289
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.759
that Americans don't want to work, we're lazy, we don't
290
00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.960
want to do anything. That is so not true. It
291
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.680
is not. And so now we're competing against AI, Now
292
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:56.319
we're competing against immigration, and there has to be something
293
00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:00.200
in that, in the center of that that counters all
294
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:04.079
of that, because if Americans aren't working, and then if
295
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.839
immigrants are working and sending their money back yelsewhere, and
296
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:11.559
if technology is taken over jobs, then where is funding
297
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.640
going to come in to support any Americans who actually
298
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:18.960
need the support where? And then we're talking about the
299
00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:24.799
snap benefit receivers and the people who are receiving government assistance.
300
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:27.960
And the thing about that is it is very hard
301
00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:32.160
to understand how people pockets are getting hit when you're
302
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:36.559
constantly receiving something from the government instead of them taking
303
00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:40.480
something from you. That is a real thing. These are
304
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:46.119
where our economic differences come in big time, and that
305
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.960
is the major thing that we're not taking the time
306
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:53.079
to listen to. So I believe this is just my
307
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.160
personal opinion. When it comes down to benefits that is
308
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:01.119
given from the government, they do need to be regularly
309
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.680
how do you say it checked? There needs to be
310
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:10.039
a due process for it. There needs to be constant
311
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:13.119
proof that a person needs to remain on that assistance
312
00:19:13.480 --> 00:19:17.359
so that way the funding is not continually going out
313
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:20.160
to people who don't need it. There needs to be
314
00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:24.960
an evaluation, quarterly, annually, I don't know what, depending on
315
00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:29.319
the nature of the assistance. Right. So I have always
316
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.400
believed in assistance being needed because people do go through things,
317
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:35.920
and I don't feel like that's something that needs to
318
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:40.400
come to a complete stop. But man, I guess people
319
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.960
would be upset if they're constantly receiving assistance money. Their
320
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:48.400
rent is constantly being paid and no one has checked
321
00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.759
up on it in a while, and you don't have
322
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:53.319
to prove that you no longer need it, and you're
323
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:57.119
out here hustling and getting your money and getting things
324
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.319
paid for you. That is a beautiful position. I wish.
325
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.920
I wish somebody would come pay up stuff for me
326
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:06.000
for quite some time and I can use my money
327
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.160
for wherever I want. I wish, but that's not an
328
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.319
experience I've ever had personally, But I get why that's
329
00:20:14.440 --> 00:20:17.599
very frustrating to the people who have had that experience.
330
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:22.640
So with that being said, we are experiencing a lot
331
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.839
of differences in our economy based on where we are,
332
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.720
based on the class that we are in. And trust me, yes,
333
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:34.079
there's still a separation with that. And going back to
334
00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.480
what I was saying in the beginning about Nicki Minaj
335
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.079
and celebrities, I noticed that these celebrities are having a
336
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:43.519
completely different experience than the working class, they get a
337
00:20:43.519 --> 00:20:45.839
lot of access just based on who they are. They
338
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.799
don't have to work for many things. Once they become famous,
339
00:20:50.559 --> 00:20:55.200
that invite is constantly extended to them and they're able
340
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.519
to come and go. And that's evil traveling abroad. Same thing.
341
00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.400
If for everyday working class American needs to leave the
342
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.119
country and come and go and do whatever they that
343
00:21:05.160 --> 00:21:08.119
we need to do, there is probably a little bit
344
00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:11.720
more of a process than a celebrity who's invited into
345
00:21:11.720 --> 00:21:14.200
that country, you see what I'm saying, who may be
346
00:21:14.279 --> 00:21:17.119
able to stay a little bit longer because of who
347
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.920
they are and all of these things. There is a difference,
348
00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:24.160
and that brings me to the global entrepreneur versus the
349
00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:28.920
local entrepreneur. I am reaching for a huge goal to
350
00:21:29.039 --> 00:21:32.319
understand both sides of that. I would love to do
351
00:21:32.359 --> 00:21:35.400
some business abroad myself, and that is something I've been
352
00:21:35.480 --> 00:21:39.480
researching since traveling abroad this year. As I told you
353
00:21:39.480 --> 00:21:43.799
guys in my twenty twenty five yearly recap, that is
354
00:21:43.839 --> 00:21:46.599
something that I'm looking to do. And when it comes
355
00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:50.920
down to being a global entrepreneur, they think a lot
356
00:21:50.960 --> 00:21:55.680
differently than the local entrepreneur who is only considering what's
357
00:21:55.759 --> 00:21:59.759
going on in that direct vicinity of their business, was
358
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:02.119
going going on in that city, that county, that state.
359
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:06.759
But a global entrepreneur has to consider many, many things,
360
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:10.319
including their relationship with whatever countries they're doing business with,
361
00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:16.240
and that's when the conversation of terrors and importing and
362
00:22:16.319 --> 00:22:20.319
exporting and all those things become very vital to those businesses.
363
00:22:20.799 --> 00:22:24.000
And so me sitting back and listening to the arguments,
364
00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:27.920
I can clearly understand why some of these things can
365
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:31.640
be very trivial and complicated when it comes down to
366
00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:35.279
making the best decisions that can be beneficial across the
367
00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:40.599
board for everyone. And that is something that I don't
368
00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.079
know if you guys have ever been people pleasers and
369
00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:46.079
you try to please everyone around you, that is very difficult.
370
00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:49.599
So we have to start making I believe this is
371
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:52.559
just in my opinion. We need to start making the
372
00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.119
healthier decisions for the country first and then we start
373
00:22:56.200 --> 00:23:01.200
working our way out words. That's my thoughts. It has
374
00:23:01.279 --> 00:23:03.839
to be what does our economy look like, What is
375
00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.440
our job structures looking like, what are the government assistants
376
00:23:07.480 --> 00:23:10.599
and supports looking like? What is the health system looking like?
377
00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.440
We need to get all of that intact, and once
378
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:16.720
we do, we can start moving outward as well. Now,
379
00:23:16.720 --> 00:23:20.759
of course, in between this, we still have imported goods
380
00:23:20.799 --> 00:23:23.480
and different things like that that's going on that needs
381
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:26.440
to be managed. But can that be managed at a
382
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.240
And this is something Trump has been saying from the beginning,
383
00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:33.480
with an equal exchange, which is fair. So if you're
384
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:37.079
asking thirty percent for me, can you put thirty percent
385
00:23:37.079 --> 00:23:40.880
on the table as well? I feel like that is
386
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:45.400
a fair question right now, until we get everything in
387
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.519
order that we need to make sure our economy is thriving.
388
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.039
That is really an eye opener for me, and I
389
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:57.640
want to take more time to really hear what different
390
00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:00.720
people are experiencing like me personally, I'm not a parent.
391
00:24:02.240 --> 00:24:04.920
I can't imagine being out here trying to buy food
392
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.759
and feed bigger families and all of these things. You know,
393
00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:10.680
shout out to you guys, because wow, there's a lot
394
00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:13.759
going on when it comes down to where your money's going.
395
00:24:14.359 --> 00:24:17.720
And so the next thing too, and this is something
396
00:24:17.759 --> 00:24:22.440
I'll do in a completely another different podcast, But another
397
00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:27.799
thing is what are individual households and families doing to
398
00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:32.319
secure your futures? And going back to the Trump accounts,
399
00:24:32.519 --> 00:24:36.599
it is amazing that we now have an administration who
400
00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:41.920
is thinking about the children long term. So each individual
401
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.400
household needs to be doing the same and sad thing.
402
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:47.759
Whether or whether or not the government is involved or not,
403
00:24:48.480 --> 00:24:51.680
it doesn't matter. We need to be making sure our
404
00:24:51.759 --> 00:24:54.680
homes are in order and that the economy of our
405
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:59.240
families and the economy of our households are together. We
406
00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:02.599
need to do that. That is important, and so I
407
00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:06.480
would encourage you guys to start educating yourselves on what
408
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:09.839
investments you can make, what savings accounts you can start
409
00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:13.759
for your children, and these different things, and put things
410
00:25:13.799 --> 00:25:17.599
aside for them. Start buying things early for them that
411
00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.079
you can keep up and manage until they're old enough
412
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:25.039
to manage themselves. Maybe once a team reaches fourteen years old,
413
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.559
start going ahead and looking into real estate for that
414
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:30.680
fourteen year old, maybe buying a piece of land, because
415
00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:35.119
land is a lot more affordable than something with a
416
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:39.799
foundation or home or whatever on it. So just investing
417
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:43.640
in land alone could be very, very beneficial. Then you
418
00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:45.920
start to build a house on top of that. End. Look,
419
00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:47.960
and if they can't build a house right away, they
420
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:51.279
can pitch a tent. Okay, I'm just saying I would
421
00:25:51.279 --> 00:25:55.799
have loved to. I guess you can say, graduate high school,
422
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.440
start my first job, and boom, my parents have invested
423
00:25:59.440 --> 00:26:01.799
in some type of land for me. I would have
424
00:26:01.839 --> 00:26:04.319
so much fun with that. I really would have, you know,
425
00:26:04.400 --> 00:26:07.599
So I think about these things and I would encourage
426
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:10.759
you guys to do that, and even those of you
427
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:14.079
who are single or you don't currently have a family,
428
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:18.400
it's still important that you make sure that your economy,
429
00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:21.440
what you're investing in, and that your money is working
430
00:26:21.480 --> 00:26:25.079
for you. We have to be more than food and
431
00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:32.279
clothing and taxes. I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I'm
432
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:34.720
over here working in my mind and paying taxes. It's
433
00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:39.920
just like it's a lot, you know. So each individual person,
434
00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:43.759
each family unit, make sure that you're looking out for
435
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.480
your wealth and building your wealth a little bit at
436
00:26:47.480 --> 00:26:51.759
a time, making proper investments or just saving. Just saving
437
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:55.839
can take you a long way as well. Honestly, these
438
00:26:55.880 --> 00:27:00.200
are great things to consider as you're moving forward in
439
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.079
this way. When we do have government shut downs and
440
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:08.079
economic crashes, and these times will not be the last times,
441
00:27:08.680 --> 00:27:12.359
then you make sure that you're in the best position possible.
442
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:17.319
And that's my thoughts. So, yes, we do have economic differences,
443
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:21.680
and we are in different spaces, and we have people
444
00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:25.759
who are speaking on politics who are in different positions,
445
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:31.160
more privileged positions than others. And we need to rightfully
446
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:35.599
hear what's being said and divide that and know who's
447
00:27:35.599 --> 00:27:40.839
saying what from what intentions. That's the important thing. There's
448
00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:43.480
a lot of intentions being thrown around, and we need
449
00:27:43.559 --> 00:27:46.759
to know who has the best ones. And I'm voting
450
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:49.880
for the ones who have the best intentions for America
451
00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.680
across the board. And honestly, I know a lot of
452
00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:56.359
people who may be listening in who are Trump haters,
453
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:00.480
bashers whatever. I know Trump really cares about this country.
454
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:04.200
This man has built businesses within this country, hired people,
455
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:08.440
paid for employees, and I mean he's moved a lot
456
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:12.079
of money through the United States. And he's been talking
457
00:28:12.119 --> 00:28:16.160
about terriffs and having the proper relationships with different countries
458
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.200
and all that for years and years and years before
459
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.960
he became president. So shout out to President Trump for
460
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.920
keeping the same energy all these years later, and I
461
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.920
would encourage all of us to do that. Let's all
462
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:33.279
keep the same energy, what we believe in, what we're learning,
463
00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.799
let's apply it, and I believe that Trump really is
464
00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:39.680
moving with America in mind, and then I shall stay
465
00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:42.960
tuned on all of that. So you guys chime off.
466
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.079
If you are on a platform where you can leave
467
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:47.680
a comment, leave me a comment. Let me know your
468
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.880
thought on our economic differences. Where do you stand. Are
469
00:28:50.920 --> 00:28:54.480
you someone who receives any type of benefits from the government.
470
00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.039
Are you a working class American? Are you a global
471
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.880
business or a local business, whatever the case, maybe let
472
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:04.000
me know your thoughts. And remember to keep your thoughts
473
00:29:04.119 --> 00:29:07.079
classy and professional, because that's all we do over here.
474
00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:11.039
And I will chat with you guys another time. Chat
475
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:11.319
soon
