Speaker: When I hold up in my hand
Speaker: Thanks for tuning in to another episode of ZZZ Mafia presents Z House Podcast with our special guest, Dr. Katron, Janice, and Phillip.
Speaker: I hope you guys are ready for this.
Speaker: Thank you so very much for the time.
Speaker: This is great.
Speaker: This is great.
Speaker: Definitely.
Speaker: Yeah, and I'm really so happy to have you guys for real.
Speaker: I was having some issues setting this up today, but I mean, we got everything together now, and I'm happy that everything's good.
Speaker: So if you guys want to get into this, we can go ahead and hop in.
Speaker: I was going to say, where are you guys from?
Speaker: I was born in Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker: Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker: Right outside of D.C.
Speaker: So I'm a Beltway brat.
Speaker: Beltway brat.
Speaker: I've never heard that term.
Speaker: What's a Beltway brat?
Speaker: A Beltway that runs the road that runs around Washington.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: I was born just a mile from that.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: I mean, grew up a mile from that, born in Arlington.
Speaker: Arlington, Texas?
Speaker: Arlington, Virginia.
Speaker: Oh, sorry.
Speaker: Oh, my goodness.
Speaker: Well, okay, so then how did you get to Missouri?
Speaker: Could we know that?
Speaker: Lots of steps.
Speaker: I went to college in Indiana.
Speaker: I've worked in Haiti as a nurse for 30 years.
Speaker: My husband and I worked in Naples, Florida, pastored a church there for six years, and then decided to retire in Mansfield, Missouri.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: That's how I got here.
Speaker: All right.
Speaker: You got something you want to question?
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So I saw that you have a degree in nursing and science, a bachelor in science.
Speaker: What I was going to ask is, so with your experience in nursing, how would your experience contribute to your duty as a governor?
Speaker: Oh, that's a good question.
Speaker: First of all, nurses care.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: That's a primary factor of nurses, is that they care.
Speaker: And another thing is nurses problem solve them.
Speaker: and they figure out what's keeping a patient from getting healthy, what's keeping them from getting well.
Speaker: Sometimes it's age that they cannot return to where they were when they were 20, of course not, but how can you make today a better day for that person?
Speaker: You work with their families, you work with a medical team, and you create a plan for that particular problem that you identified.
Speaker: And then you put that plan into practice.
Speaker: And then from there,
Speaker: you watch and see what kind of progress they make.
Speaker: Do they go forward?
Speaker: Do they go backward?
Speaker: If they go backward, then you have to go back and redo another plan all over again.
Speaker: And you tailor it to that person and you work individually with them.
Speaker: So in Missouri, it's the same thing.
Speaker: Or in a state, on a state level, it's the same thing.
Speaker: You identify a problem and you work with the team to develop a plan.
Speaker: Politicians, they just kind of leave it there.
Speaker: I'm not a politician.
Speaker: I will never be a politician.
Speaker: I'm a nurse.
Speaker: I'm a citizen, and I'm working for people.
Speaker: And so politicians, they leave it there.
Speaker: They don't go back and evaluate.
Speaker: They don't go back and look.
Speaker: Is this good?
Speaker: Is this making a difference the way you want it to?
Speaker: Go back and re-evaluate the problem, and you look at your outcome.
Speaker: Am I getting there, or am I not getting there?
Speaker: And if I'm getting there, then you're going to keep on doing the same thing or improve on it.
Speaker: If you're not getting there, then you go back and read
Speaker: reevaluate it and do another plan.
Speaker: That's what's missing.
Speaker: And administration, I've done a lot.
Speaker: I'm working.
Speaker: The last 12 years, I developed a four-year RN, registered nurse.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Bachelor of Science curriculum.
Speaker: I developed a university in Haiti.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So I work in administration every day.
Speaker: I work with budgets every day.
Speaker: I work with my students every day.
Speaker: Yeah, you wouldn't be too far away from being able to look at an issue on something and know exactly where to go to try and solve it.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: And if I can't solve it, I will find who can.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You go, yeah.
Speaker: Outsource until you find who you're looking for for the right thing.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: I think that was a really perfect answer.
Speaker: I like the answer that you came with.
Speaker: So, oh, let me see if I, okay.
Speaker: Seeing as your three kids are adopted, what are the major, what major issues, if any, would you wish to amend regarding Missouri's foster care system?
Speaker: Well, that's a good question, too.
Speaker: I think the foster care system in Missouri is broken.
Speaker: Definitely.
Speaker: The reason I think it's broken is because I think families are broken.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And the reason I think families are broken, you just got to go back to where did the problem start?
Speaker: Where did it start?
Speaker: And the worst things of society called the ills, the ills of society always trickle downward.
Speaker: Because gravity is always gonna pull down.
Speaker: You're never gonna improve somebody by pulling them down.
Speaker: You never will, yeah.
Speaker: And so the people that are the most vulnerable are our children and the elderly.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I would agree with you on that.
Speaker: I would agree completely.
Speaker: So people that are the children, they're at the brunt of other people's decisions.
Speaker: And if other people are making wrong decisions and wrong choices for them... Then you're the one stuck with that.
Speaker: Then that child is going to have to grow up with that.
Speaker: So go back to the family.
Speaker: Where is the family broken?
Speaker: And that's the place to fix it.
Speaker: Would you say that the family's broken now, though, because of the fact that...
Speaker: a lot of fathers and mother homes aren't the same way as they were back then.
Speaker: Like, you know, you go back 50 years ago, you know, it was a woman would stick it out with you through anything and a man would stick it out with you through anything.
Speaker: And nowadays, and you know, it's about communication and then also figuring out stuff.
Speaker: You know, it's not just, you know, it's not going to be perfect your first time, but I think a lot of people now want perfect right off the flip.
Speaker: It's the empowerment movement.
Speaker: I'm sorry, I got to say this new empowerment movement that young men and women are on,
Speaker: It's got it.
Speaker: It's yeah, it's a power trip.
Speaker: It's a distorted reality.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: You know, men and women, both you're wanting a unicorn.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: That guy doesn't exist.
Speaker: Name one person that, you know, that came exactly tailor made to what you want.
Speaker: That's not going to happen.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And that's another thing, too.
Speaker: You have to be able to bend for people and no one wants to be willing to.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: A lot of the thing is like when you're so when you're so wrapped up in the idea that you're the person who's like,
Speaker: I'm, I'm, it's me, me, me, I, I. You hear these like terms a lot with people who are kind of stuck in this mindset of selfishness.
Speaker: So they will use that a lot as me, me, me, I, I, I to like, they don't know how to say we are this, you know, you have to be able, you have to be able to know when you're right and you have to be able to know when you're wrong.
Speaker: And then you have to be able to move forward from that situation.
Speaker: That's true.
Speaker: But back to the foster system, it's a broken system because people are broken.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Families are broken.
Speaker: And what is it that's making, that's breaking families?
Speaker: There's all kinds of things that are coming at.
Speaker: There's all kinds of factors that affect the health of a family.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And there, but the statistics are so strong that a child that has both mom and dad investing in that child is going to be the, the,
Speaker: percentage of that child growing up as a healthy adult is astronomically more than it is in a single family home.
Speaker: Or if grandma and grandpa are raising them.
Speaker: Grandma and grandpa already raised their kids.
Speaker: That is another thing that happens a lot nowadays is that they're too young to realize.
Speaker: So they go and they have a baby and they're not even ready in their head.
Speaker: Like in their heads, they don't even have it.
Speaker: Like no one has a perception of what you're going to have.
Speaker: They don't come with the manual.
Speaker: They don't come with...
Speaker: There's no instructions.
Speaker: And that's another thing too is that people, a lot of the times you'll find yourself in a back and forth battle with people about stuff like that because I think a lot of the times guys and girls don't know how to talk anymore.
Speaker: That's the real problem is that in a relationship sense.
Speaker: But also just in general, I feel like a lot of people have like, you have your way, who you are, and people are just like that.
Speaker: I think it's something that you have to decipher as an adult as you're going through life.
Speaker: But becoming comfortable with yourself as an adult.
Speaker: Becoming an adult.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It's not – it's your past being a child.
Speaker: Don't act like one.
Speaker: You're an adult now.
Speaker: So we have to start adulting.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And kids –
Speaker: are hesitant to do that, and maybe because they don't have the tools.
Speaker: Or I see here, I've taught community health nursing at Missouri State,
Speaker: sad, sad, sad things out there with families and families that are not healthy.
Speaker: And you have both mom and dad in prison, both of them doing drugs.
Speaker: You have grandma at home and she's doing drugs.
Speaker: She's cooking meth.
Speaker: And how are you going to have healthy kids?
Speaker: So we have to go back to identify what the problems are.
Speaker: Once we identify what the problems are, we can start working on those problems and
Speaker: And I would say that it's not just even like a specific thing.
Speaker: I think it's addiction in general.
Speaker: I think it's addiction in general because a lot of the people who are going through things, a lot of it comes down to you can't beat this mental thing that you have with whatever it is.
Speaker: And it takes a big, strong person to be able to overcome something like that, whether it be meth, coke, weed.
Speaker: I mean, I don't really consider weed.
Speaker: but weed and alcohol, you know, you have to be able, like everything has its limits and you have to, if you're not adult enough to be able to like learn how to like ration or, you know, and like I said, it's probably best you just don't do drugs, but I'm saying if you are, I mean, most people, they don't know when to stop.
Speaker: And then it gets to a point where they're either broke and don't have nothing and they want that or they have it and they're in a weird position.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But all kinds of the evils and the ills and the bad things in society are going to trickle down to those that are most vulnerable and the most vulnerable are these kids.
Speaker: But foster care, children are being put in unhealthy situations.
Speaker: Children are being put into compromising situations with foster care parents.
Speaker: And that's not healthy for them.
Speaker: So the best thing is if that child can stay at home, but many times home is not safe.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And that's another thing that the foster care system is safe either.
Speaker: It's not.
Speaker: It definitely isn't.
Speaker: Well, that's the thing.
Speaker: The people are most, I wanted to say like the people that are your,
Speaker: the people within the state, they get such a huge caseload of so many kids that it's like they don't even have the ability to even keep up with it.
Speaker: It's not humanly possible.
Speaker: It doesn't matter who you are.
Speaker: I don't care if you were Usain Bolt with the pin.
Speaker: You're not going to be able to, you know, you have to be able to,
Speaker: you know, that's another thing.
Speaker: They just don't have enough people wanting to go into that field, you know?
Speaker: I can personally say that, um, the reason I asked that is I'm, I was one of those kids in the foster care system and stuff like that.
Speaker: And I came from a home of addicts and everything.
Speaker: And my father was in prison for attempted murder.
Speaker: And, um,
Speaker: My grandparents took me in a year later.
Speaker: But, yes, I feel like what you're saying is definitely correct, that with the foster care system, they will throw you in any home and everything.
Speaker: Sure.
Speaker: You're just a placeholder.
Speaker: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker: Just finding a place, and then you can check the box.
Speaker: Yeah, and you never know who you're going to.
Speaker: That's not good enough for children.
Speaker: That's a child.
Speaker: That's a life.
Speaker: That's a person.
Speaker: That's a future.
Speaker: And to just check a box and say, well, we have them in a home where we have placed that child in.
Speaker: Oh, that makes me really upset.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It makes me sick to my stomach because, and then they get placed the, the systems that they have in place to get foster kids.
Speaker: It's also a money scheme.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: In my opinion.
Speaker: So these, these, there's people who will get, there's people who will purposely go get, you know,
Speaker: 20, 25 kids, right?
Speaker: Hey, yeah, I don't care what they're doing.
Speaker: It's trafficking.
Speaker: It's trafficking.
Speaker: It is.
Speaker: The government perpetuates it.
Speaker: And what do you think is happening down there at the border?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's one thing people need to pay attention to.
Speaker: What do you think is happening at the border when you've got all of these undocumented people that are pouring over them?
Speaker: border.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And the government whisks these kids off and you know what I mean?
Speaker: So that's something that contributes to the problem.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And so, you know, I'm going to yield back to my mom to answer the question, but you know, it's a problem that I believe really started back in the 80s.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Coupled with the CIA's crack epidemic and their whole let's try something new.
Speaker: And it just took the inner city somewhere else.
Speaker: They kind of did the same thing with reservations and everything, but not with drugs.
Speaker: That part.
Speaker: They would have some of their government people come up to their doors and be like, hey, do you not want your kid?
Speaker: We'll take him.
Speaker: And it would happen sometimes.
Speaker: That happened to my birth mother and everything because my grandmother was on her deathbed and everything, and she had no other choice.
Speaker: And then years later, I got through.
Speaker: She was given no other choice.
Speaker: She didn't know that.
Speaker: And she was a woman and a young mother.
Speaker: No, that is so wrong.
Speaker: We're going to do a lot more for them as well.
Speaker: That is so wrong.
Speaker: That's amazing.
Speaker: That's one thing that I've noticed.
Speaker: One thing I've noticed that a lot of the candidates haven't talked about is what exactly is the candidate for governor going to do for the Native Americans here in this state?
Speaker: Because, you know, Jay Ashcroft hasn't brought that up.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Neither has Kehoe, you know, Igle.
Speaker: No one has a real agenda for the Native Americans.
Speaker: And it really... And that's another thing, too, is I never understood that...
Speaker: And other states like they were able I mean, I know this is gonna sound kind of you know They had like in Oklahoma.
Speaker: You're allowed to do casinos in Kansas You're allowed to do casinos, but only in Missouri.
Speaker: You can only do casinos on water I just thought I just always have thought my head I said here isn't this all the land of this is all the land of the natives Let's be honest.
Speaker: This is this this here took it from if people don't know the history go back and just read president Zachary Taylor president
Speaker: Polk, you know, with his whole move west.
Speaker: What was the sacrifice that had to happen for that to happen?
Speaker: And so in my head, the way I'm thinking is, okay, I'm not going to start this whole campaign of, oh,
Speaker: let's make drastic changes, but we can increase the, some of the aid that the state provides for them.
Speaker: We can also increase the, better the education for the, in the Native American tribes.
Speaker: There are some tribes that aren't really given
Speaker: the proper uh in my opinion representation yeah no i honestly feel like there's a lot more yeah there's a lot more and bia is too um it's way too government regulated yeah and so again again you have people that i am huge on valuing the value of a person i just you can't put enough you can't put enough value on a life that's why i didn't that's okay i can tell from you guys that you guys are real people
Speaker: That's why I didn't understand when I was like... I was looking at the Facebook stuff and different things like that.
Speaker: And I'm like... I just didn't understand where people were trying to laugh, react, or do this or do that.
Speaker: Or they were trying to say stuff.
Speaker: And I'm like...
Speaker: you guys are mad that's what it is they're mad because you guys are actually good people and you guys are trying to do something for the state of missouri but it's just like you got everything comes with uh succession in time so it's like exactly and i think also also like it doesn't help when people just hate to hate anyways if they think that you if you have anything going on in your life you'll notice that people aren't that aren't doing anything with theirs are going to be the ones who are going to try and knock you down the most because they want to
Speaker: you know if they can't be on your level they'd rather have you on their level it's always gravity pulls down it's always there's always those you know it kind of like in this for missouri i feel like donald trump and i've got my own hillary clinton that i gotta deal with you know right yeah you know she's a nasty woman she's a nasty nasty woman yeah
Speaker: That's, uh, that's hilarious.
Speaker: Um, I was gonna, I was gonna ask you what's your guys' uh, what's your guys' like agenda on, um, the prison systems.
Speaker: Go ahead.
Speaker: Go ahead.
Speaker: You can go on this one.
Speaker: I'll talk about the prison system.
Speaker: You can't talk about the prison system without talking about the judicial system.
Speaker: You talk about the judicial system.
Speaker: Again, where does the problem start?
Speaker: It's broken.
Speaker: It is broken.
Speaker: So where do you fix it?
Speaker: And I think you go right back to the family.
Speaker: But the prison system, it's full of
Speaker: It's owned by private corporations.
Speaker: The prisons are private families.
Speaker: It's private money.
Speaker: And the more heads you have, the more people you have in that system, the more money you have.
Speaker: And so why do you think parole doesn't work?
Speaker: It's not supposed to work.
Speaker: Because then they go back into the system again, and there's that much.
Speaker: Yeah, they're making money for sure.
Speaker: And that's why they call it a revolving door.
Speaker: A lot of the people who are committing crime, they keep committing crime because they, yeah.
Speaker: Instead of rehabilitation, which is what we really need in Missouri or any really all the way throughout the state.
Speaker: But rehab doesn't work.
Speaker: What are the incentives?
Speaker: I'm saying the, so first off your, your first incentive, I feel like would be like, you would have to have, you would have to make the decision yourself to want to get sober.
Speaker: It's within first, but we don't have anything in line.
Speaker: We don't have anything.
Speaker: We have prison houses.
Speaker: So if you get out of jail, we have somewhere you can go and hang out at.
Speaker: As long as you have a job, you're good.
Speaker: And they don't care what you do all day long.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: So who's valuing who?
Speaker: It's just about the money.
Speaker: It's just about the money.
Speaker: Sure it is.
Speaker: Of course it is.
Speaker: And if that person feels like, you know what, I'm worth something.
Speaker: I'm better than this.
Speaker: But who's telling them that?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Who's telling them?
Speaker: Who's saying, you know what, you matter.
Speaker: I care about you.
Speaker: And I do.
Speaker: The state doesn't care.
Speaker: They just see you as a convicted felon.
Speaker: Yeah, your money.
Speaker: As a matter of fact, I actually, I did some looking into stuff myself.
Speaker: And actually, your social security number is actually, it's connected to the bank system.
Speaker: And so you're actually, like with your FDICs and your EINDs and stuff like that for business numbers and all that, you're all just, you're a business transaction.
Speaker: We're all a business transaction.
Speaker: That's where your net worth is valued at.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's what you are.
Speaker: That's crazy.
Speaker: So the whole system becomes a giant prosecutor.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: You have a giant prosecutor and you have no defense.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: And so...
Speaker: These people that find themselves, or these citizens, or these individuals, or these lives, that find themselves, they made the wrong choice, they made the wrong decision, they took the wrong road, or they listened to the wrong voices,
Speaker: And now they're paying the price.
Speaker: Yeah, they're all paying.
Speaker: They're paying the price.
Speaker: And again, it goes right back to the problem.
Speaker: We're not addressing problems.
Speaker: Yeah, no, no, no.
Speaker: Nobody's addressing problems.
Speaker: Why would you want to?
Speaker: Because why would you want to address problems?
Speaker: Because that's going to eliminate the problem.
Speaker: And if you eliminate the problem, then you eliminate that money back.
Speaker: Yeah, you're right.
Speaker: Why would you do that?
Speaker: Well, that's why they keep it going.
Speaker: That's not good enough for me.
Speaker: Yeah, they just want to keep the money in their pocket, just keep that money sliding into their pocket and everything.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: If I could say, I will say there's one thing that Missouri's only female candidate for governor did bring up on the ride up here, and I'll let Mom elaborate on it.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You know, one of the things that she said is there's no reason why someone that has sat, that is currently,
Speaker: sitting in the judicial system on a marijuana charge from 1970.
Speaker: Weed's legal in Missouri now.
Speaker: Let's go ahead and let your uncle out or let's let your dad out.
Speaker: Let's expunge his record.
Speaker: Let's clean him up.
Speaker: And there's no reason for him to be sitting there and just wallowing away on something that's not, you know.
Speaker: Well, and that's another thing, too, is like there's a lot of people who, okay, they were younger.
Speaker: They went and did crazy stuff.
Speaker: They were a part of this.
Speaker: They were a part of this.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And, you know, it's 10 years later now since they've even committed a crime.
Speaker: Let's move on.
Speaker: and change the tire and move on yeah well a lot of them are you know they're stuck some of them get stuck in uh certain careers or certain uh paths or you know even the section eight part of it or you know there's different elements to everything but i think a lot of it is some of them are just kind of caught in the hooks of the system in that sense well it's the system the system that's keeping that's keeping people from advancing anywhere and so
Speaker: I look at why.
Speaker: Why is the system doing that?
Speaker: Why are they doing, because, right here.
Speaker: Because somebody or some, the system is making money off them.
Speaker: I don't care.
Speaker: I don't care if Jefferson City hates me.
Speaker: I don't care.
Speaker: And that's what I was curious about, is how do you guys feel about going there and actually being face-to-face with people who, you know,
Speaker: Could I somewhat answer this?
Speaker: Jeff City is nothing more than a club.
Speaker: Let's just call a spade a spade.
Speaker: It's nothing more than a club.
Speaker: It's a close-knit partnership of a whole bunch of moneyed folks that if you take 10 of them in one room, they could buy this entire state and put a down deposit on Arkansas.
Speaker: But does that club truly...
Speaker: truly care about your vote, or does that club only pop their heads out of their fancy cars and their fancy club pack-a-derm meetings only on election time?
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Where's Ashcroft?
Speaker: And that's what I was going to say to you guys.
Speaker: If I'm going to be completely honest, a lot of it comes down to like, I didn't even like, I don't know a lot about politics.
Speaker: I know Republican, I know Democrat, I know, you know, liberal, communist, that sort of like the terminology.
Speaker: You don't actually, I don't actually pay attention to any of it because inside of my head, like they're operating at like a level up here, which is like,
Speaker: I'm at a different level and I'm over here in my head.
Speaker: You see what I'm saying?
Speaker: And so, and I'm like, I mean, they're operating at a higher level than us for sure because they have taxes and they're government people.
Speaker: It's politics in a sense, but.
Speaker: But it's all, the political structure operates the same way like the prison system because it's all one person or a person.
Speaker: A group of people.
Speaker: A little conglomerate, right?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And, you know, we as Americans are quick to point our finger at Russia and we'll say, oh, look at Russia.
Speaker: Look at that archaic system.
Speaker: We do the same thing here.
Speaker: We have an oligarchy here.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: The only difference with us in Russia is they tell you.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: But I want to go back to what you said, because you said there's a level that is up here and then there's everybody else.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And you're in the everybody else camp.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But I feel like in my head, I mean, with the way that I'm doing stuff and like we have so many more projects, like what you guys are seeing here, this is just the this is just a base of just little like this little compared to like the big stuff to come.
Speaker: Like I'm going to have a venue out of Joplin like before I before you know it.
Speaker: And then, like, we're about to drop a brand new Screamo album through Datora.
Speaker: That's our death metal project.
Speaker: Yeah, our death metal project we're working on.
Speaker: And then we got Nowhere Avenue, which is like a Mumford & Son slash kind of indie vibe.
Speaker: And then I'm doing— Your next governor, your 59th governor will come to your shows.
Speaker: You're going to let me come?
Speaker: The lieutenant governor and next governor will come to your shows.
Speaker: Yes, yes, we would definitely want you guys to come and rock out with us.
Speaker: Yeah, I was going to say.
Speaker: But why don't people understand how government works?
Speaker: How come people aren't working together?
Speaker: Because you have this little club over here that's making all the decisions, and you have all the rest of the population in Missouri that's supposed to follow along behind them.
Speaker: Uh-uh.
Speaker: That's not right.
Speaker: You want to be able to fight for every single Missouri and every single Missouri.
Speaker: Not a specific time.
Speaker: Missouri doesn't matter.
Speaker: Every single one.
Speaker: And we all know what the problems are.
Speaker: Everybody knows what the problems are.
Speaker: How can we keep rehashing the same problems?
Speaker: In nursing, I'd lose my job if you didn't do something to make somebody feel better.
Speaker: How come we're going over the same problems, the same issues, the same things, the same things, the same questions, over and over and over?
Speaker: We all know what the problems are.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And that's another thing I was wondering is, is like, you know, what do you do in that situation when you guys do actually like, that's an, I just want to, I wanted to ask you guys how you guys are going to handle that face to face when you guys actually get to, you know, Jefferson city, when you guys are actually in the building and you guys are the people, what are you, what's the, Oh, we ain't going to play with NAB buddy.
Speaker: I'm going to keep it a buck 10,000.
Speaker: This goes for St.
Speaker: Louis, Kansas city.
Speaker: We're tired of the inactivity.
Speaker: There's been 17 hours, 17 hours of,
Speaker: of work up there and 16 of it.
Speaker: 17 hours of debate wasted in a filibuster.
Speaker: One caucus, Freedom Caucus, filibustering, doing nothing but wasting time.
Speaker: So you want to answer your question?
Speaker: What is it going to be like as soon as we get in there?
Speaker: See, the lieutenant governor's job as president of the Senate
Speaker: What we've got right now is Mike Kehoe.
Speaker: And he wants to be the governor, but he can't seem to get anything done in the Senate.
Speaker: So wake up, Missouri.
Speaker: You're looking at, you're seeing this guy that can't seem to smile.
Speaker: Trek around the state.
Speaker: Oh, yeah, he can't, you know, Mike Kehoe don't smile at anybody.
Speaker: He doesn't smile at anybody.
Speaker: He barely, I felt like.
Speaker: Anyways, so you've got that guy trying to convince you that he wants to be the next governor.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: He's a used car salesman, and he acts like it.
Speaker: He can't control the Senate.
Speaker: He can't control the Senate.
Speaker: They were given 17 hours to debate, and they filibustered for 16.
Speaker: And you want to be the governor?
Speaker: They filibustered for 16 hours.
Speaker: 16 hours.
Speaker: So just wasted taxpayers' money.
Speaker: Wasted time.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Missourians' money.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That could have went to schools.
Speaker: That could have went to roads.
Speaker: Talk to them.
Speaker: Talk to them.
Speaker: The guy that wants to be the governor is the one who's president of the Senate.
Speaker: So where is he going?
Speaker: Where was his gavel?
Speaker: Yeah, and that's another thing too, is a lot of them can't put their foot down because it is about money.
Speaker: So if, okay, so if I got five people right, and they're all digging a million dollars towards me, if those two of those five go, hey, we want this to happen, that's gonna probably happen because they gave you the money for it.
Speaker: They already gave you money.
Speaker: You're in their pocket.
Speaker: You just follow the dollar in just about everything.
Speaker: But what am I gonna do to problem solve?
Speaker: Okay, I've got ideas.
Speaker: but maybe my ideas aren't going to work.
Speaker: And I'm not proud enough to say, maybe that was a stupid idea.
Speaker: But you know what?
Speaker: You put people around you.
Speaker: One of the things that Governor Parson has done, he visits every county every year, 114 counties in Missouri.
Speaker: He goes to all 114 every year.
Speaker: That's a great thing.
Speaker: But you're visiting small businesses or you're visiting somebody's farm, family hobby farm, whatever.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: That's not in, that's not.
Speaker: And all that is is appearances.
Speaker: It's appearances.
Speaker: That's just so that people, you stay relevant.
Speaker: It's like photo shoots.
Speaker: You know what I want to do?
Speaker: And I'm saying this from my heart.
Speaker: We all know what problems are, but people aren't stupid.
Speaker: Missourians are not stupid.
Speaker: They're good people.
Speaker: I've been here for going on 16 years.
Speaker: They actually care about.
Speaker: They care about their families and their state and their.
Speaker: I do, I care about Missouri.
Speaker: I will sit at people's kitchen tables and just give me a cup of coffee, that's all I want.
Speaker: But you sit down with somebody.
Speaker: I don't want to eat a meal, just let me sit at your kitchen table.
Speaker: And I'll say.
Speaker: She's not Biden, she's not gonna go to a black family with chicken.
Speaker: Did you see what he did?
Speaker: No, I did not see what he did.
Speaker: But I would say, we know what the problems are.
Speaker: What would you do to solve this?
Speaker: How would you solve this?
Speaker: And me personally, I mean, if I was going to tell you from my point of view, I mean, as just a Missouri citizen, I feel like
Speaker: okay, it's like a giant horse and it's already way too big to be defeated.
Speaker: You get what I'm saying?
Speaker: And I'm not saying that in a sense that- That's saying you're too small of a man to- No, no, no, no, no.
Speaker: I'm not saying, I'm not scared of- It's not- I'm not scared of what they can do.
Speaker: I'm saying that when you have so many people that are so well off and they have so many different connections with different, when you're tied in with so many different communities within Missouri,
Speaker: You don't have to do anything.
Speaker: Those people have already got to know you.
Speaker: You get what I'm saying?
Speaker: And that's really the reason why I got you guys here today because I really wanted to get to know you guys.
Speaker: I really wanted to know what's your guys' intentions.
Speaker: What's the intentions for Dr. Janice and Dr. Phillip?
Speaker: I want to know.
Speaker: Let's start solving problems.
Speaker: Solve the problems.
Speaker: Let's start solving problems.
Speaker: Let's stop creating problems.
Speaker: Let's start wasting.
Speaker: Stop beating around the bush.
Speaker: Everybody knows I-70 needs to be widened.
Speaker: Widen the thing.
Speaker: Our roads are trash.
Speaker: Yeah, we actually, I think we're number three.
Speaker: We're number three worst roads in the United States.
Speaker: We're number three worst roads.
Speaker: Our transportation system is better under the Democrats and that shouldn't happen.
Speaker: So we can do better as, you know, we've got a, right now the Republican Party
Speaker: has absolute control of the General Assembly.
Speaker: But they're wasting it.
Speaker: Is it Republicans?
Speaker: Okay, so your party has control of everything right now.
Speaker: Yeah, and they're wasting it.
Speaker: They can't get anything done.
Speaker: But they're the ones that want to be the governor.
Speaker: Right, they're the ones, yeah.
Speaker: There are three guys in there that are currently up in Jeff City right now.
Speaker: This is something that I want all of Missouri voters to really think about when you're weighing it between my mom
Speaker: Dr. Janice Catrone and Jay Ashcroft, Mike Kehoe and Bill Igle.
Speaker: Senator Bill Igle is a current incumbent senator, but can't do anything.
Speaker: And he's the ringleader of the Freedom Caucus, the caucus that's wasting your taxpayer dollars.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: He wants to be governor.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Then you've got Jay Ashcroft, current secretary of state.
Speaker: What have you done for us?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You want to be governor.
Speaker: And I think that would be awesome to have the first female governor, to be honest.
Speaker: You guys are going against three swamp members.
Speaker: Moms care.
Speaker: Those three members.
Speaker: Isn't also the first black lieutenant governor?
Speaker: Yeah, I'll be the first governor.
Speaker: So, yeah, we'll have the first female governor and we have the first black lieutenant governor.
Speaker: Yeah, try to make history.
Speaker: And they're going to make history.
Speaker: This is my message to St.
Speaker: Louis and Kansas City.
Speaker: It's our turn.
Speaker: You don't have to worry about, oh, well, we have policies that are going to help us.
Speaker: You don't have to worry about if Dr. Janice Catrone is going to help the inner city.
Speaker: She went to Haiti.
Speaker: She went to Haiti and helped them.
Speaker: St.
Speaker: Louis, Kansas City, you guys are on good hands.
Speaker: I can promise you Jay Ashcroft could care less.
Speaker: He hardly even shakes people of color's hands.
Speaker: If you can't keep a promise, don't make it.
Speaker: Don't even make it.
Speaker: Because all you're doing, don't even make it.
Speaker: You know, that just minimizes somebody.
Speaker: It gives false hope.
Speaker: I would never go into a patient's room and give them false hope.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I would never do that.
Speaker: Why would I do that on a campaign trail or whatever this is supposed to be?
Speaker: No, no, you're meeting people across the state and they're wanting to know how are you gonna make it better?
Speaker: You know how we're gonna make it better?
Speaker: We're gonna make it better.
Speaker: We're gonna make it better.
Speaker: You know why?
Speaker: Because to me, there isn't such a thing as a little person.
Speaker: I've heard so many people say, don't forget the little people.
Speaker: Don't forget us.
Speaker: Don't forget the little people.
Speaker: Sometimes I feel like that.
Speaker: There's no such thing as little people.
Speaker: You gotta remember everyone.
Speaker: There's no such thing as little people.
Speaker: Every single person is important.
Speaker: I feel like it's easy to get yourself in that mindset, though, when you're like, when you go, you know, after you get out of high school, most people don't have very many friends.
Speaker: Most people just go home and they, you know, either they find a girl or they're by themselves for the rest of their life.
Speaker: You know, until they have kids or whatever else happens.
Speaker: But I just...
Speaker: I feel like a lot of people, you get in that mindset of being so like, I'm so singled out and I'm so tiny because I'm by myself.
Speaker: But I do understand what you guys are saying to make people feel big and that you guys are important.
Speaker: The Missourians are important.
Speaker: When's the last time somebody says to our students in school, you matter?
Speaker: How many times do they hear it at home?
Speaker: How did you hear that?
Speaker: You matter.
Speaker: You're important.
Speaker: I tell my students that I teach.
Speaker: I tell my students that all the time.
Speaker: You have no idea how valuable you really are.
Speaker: And you know what?
Speaker: This is what I see.
Speaker: Yeah, because they don't hear that.
Speaker: They don't hear that.
Speaker: A lot of people also don't know how important they are.
Speaker: They have no idea.
Speaker: They don't even know the willpower that they have behind them.
Speaker: I think that they think, you know, once you get to a certain point, you just break, you just give up.
Speaker: But if those people could, if those people could get up the next day and keep pushing, I promise those will be the strongest people that ever walk this.
Speaker: That's what nurses do.
Speaker: That's what nurses do.
Speaker: They keep working with people.
Speaker: Even if that person is going to lose the fight to life.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You can at least lose the fight with dignity.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And, and to have people around you who, you know, actually care.
Speaker: It's a, that's a thing by itself just to have somebody around who cares just to have somebody say, Hey, like you said, you matter or, you know, you're doing the right things.
Speaker: You make me happy.
Speaker: You know, you're an awesome person.
Speaker: I am not a politician.
Speaker: I will never be a politician.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And that's what I was wondering too.
Speaker: I was like, you guys are going into a very politician game and, and,
Speaker: That's what another reason why I was talking with Philip, you know, by ourselves, we were kind of having a combo and I was like, you know, I'm like, you guys are not like the average politicians.
Speaker: You guys are not even politicians at all, really.
Speaker: And so I'm like, I, but I feel like that's, that's kind of what Missouri needs in a, in a real, in a real sense.
Speaker: We need people who are actually real people from our state.
Speaker: I don't want, uh, I'm tired of having people who, like I said, their pockets are filled up with other people's money and that's the people whispering in their ear to tell them what we need to hear.
Speaker: And so, I know for a fact, I know, I've been known about you guys.
Speaker: You guys are, you guys are, I know that you guys are good.
Speaker: I know that you guys are good.
Speaker: So that's another thing that I think about inside of my head.
Speaker: I'm like, I don't, like, that's not something that I even like would even question.
Speaker: That's not even something like I would question to be like, oh, they're taking money from other people or they want money out of other people's pockets or, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: We're actually the lowest, MEC shows that we are one of the lowest ones on the reporting.
Speaker: and the reason why is because we're not going out there like donald trump said you know mr president appreciate you but we don't want all their money yeah and it's not about the donors and special interest groups because what happens is that when the donors and special interest groups come in they'll say oh dr janice here's some money for the campaign we're not going to get bought by them yeah then that's exactly what they want they want to they want to buy yeah they want to be able to buy ideas that's really what you are you're yeah
Speaker: And a lot of the people that are in our, you know, in the Senate for Missouri, all in the House, everybody like that, all these people are bot people.
Speaker: Look at the average age.
Speaker: It's a weird thing, and I've noticed it, and it's like this for every state.
Speaker: It's not just Missouri.
Speaker: But how much is being accomplished?
Speaker: Nothing.
Speaker: How much is that?
Speaker: They're worried about, you know, how's my yacht doing?
Speaker: How's my yacht doing in, you know, Bahamas?
Speaker: And, you know, how's my house in West Virginia and my house in Ohio?
Speaker: Here's a question for Missourians, okay?
Speaker: When you look at my mom, look at your next, your first female candidate, that's someone that you can call at any time.
Speaker: Now, when you go and look up the other candidates, Jay Ascroft, he's the current Secretary of State of the State of Missouri.
Speaker: Can you call him right now?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: So he's out campaigning right now, trying to convince everyone that he cares, but you can't reach him right now.
Speaker: So what's to say that you're going to care about us then when we know right now you're lying because your campaign director wrote a speech that told you to lie to everybody and convince everyone that you're the right pick for governor.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Right?
Speaker: So it doesn't work like that.
Speaker: Well, and it should be the vote.
Speaker: It should be the people's vote.
Speaker: Why can't we reach him?
Speaker: We should be the ones.
Speaker: Ashcroft turned down a feat in Missouri.
Speaker: I don't even like the guy.
Speaker: Go ahead.
Speaker: If this is of the people, by the people, for the people, where are the people?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Who is it of buying for?
Speaker: For themselves.
Speaker: That's wrong.
Speaker: It's kind of crazy.
Speaker: We asked Ashcroft.
Speaker: if you wanted to participate in feed missouri to feed missouri right just to try and try and get more people get more candidates and everyone involved yeah he said no he said no he said no i don't want to get involved in assisting missouri i was like i was actually gonna ask yeah i was actually uh actually gonna ask um about feed missouri what is that if you could uh elaborate more on that yeah so
Speaker: I have to give the credit to where the credit's due.
Speaker: It was her brilliant thinking.
Speaker: And she, my mom said, you know.
Speaker: Don't want people to go to bed hungry.
Speaker: We're not exactly, I've been doing this all my life.
Speaker: I did that so many times, you know, from 15 to probably 20, 21, you know, there were, I went through rough times where, you know, I didn't have a place to sleep.
Speaker: I'd be sleeping up, we have a park on 26th and it has a McDonald's in front of it.
Speaker: I slept at that thing for three months.
Speaker: I slept in the park because I just didn't have anything.
Speaker: I didn't have, I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker: I had like my mom and different people that coming through and helping, trying to help me out to, you know, but I mean,
Speaker: You know, you don't have anything to eat.
Speaker: You don't even have a warm place to sleep.
Speaker: Feed Missouri's whole idea is to collect non-perishable goods, collect clothes, clothing for moms, diapers, wipes, just all that.
Speaker: to be able to help on both sides.
Speaker: And that's another thing I was wondering is- All free, just come on in, pick it up.
Speaker: Awesome.
Speaker: It's all free, just come and get it and go.
Speaker: Because that's something that the state needs help.
Speaker: And you've got someone, you've got an actual mission.
Speaker: You don't have a politician, you have a missionary.
Speaker: A mom.
Speaker: A mom that cares about you.
Speaker: Awesome.
Speaker: So you kind of have Kay Ivey here in Missouri.
Speaker: If you guys know who Kay Ivey is of Alabama.
Speaker: Yeah, I like- Great governor of Alabama.
Speaker: It makes me wonder why he wouldn't be a part of that if he really cared about Mr. Thank you.
Speaker: That was the question that, you know, I asked my campaign director.
Speaker: I said, would you mind giving him a call?
Speaker: Because he's got a good connection.
Speaker: He's like, yeah, let's see what could happen.
Speaker: You know, some might say, well, he's running for governor, your mom's running for governor, why would you go to Jay?
Speaker: Well, the reason why I asked him was because perhaps he might want to.
Speaker: Collaborate, collaborate, collaborate.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: In an election time, it's not that serious if you're really running for election for governor.
Speaker: Care about the people.
Speaker: Work across the aisle.
Speaker: Who cares if the other person's running against you?
Speaker: Sure you care.
Speaker: You have to work together anyway.
Speaker: You're trying to work together anyway, right?
Speaker: And I don't care if they're donkeys or elephants.
Speaker: It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker: He'd rather go out and just go say something and rehearse than to go do something.
Speaker: I thought we were in the show me state.
Speaker: Right, show me something.
Speaker: This is a show-me-state, right?
Speaker: Yeah, show me something.
Speaker: So why can't any of the candidates show anyway?
Speaker: So you guys are going to actually write bills?
Speaker: You guys are going to actually be head front to that sort of stuff?
Speaker: The lieutenant governor is over the Senate.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I'm going to grab that by the horns.
Speaker: So he'll take these bills after they're voted on, bring them to me for signature, and then they're signed into law.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: So that'll be a pretty cool little thing that you guys can do there where, I mean, you kind of eliminate the governor being like, you know, against you in a sense, if you were the lieutenant governor.
Speaker: I don't think that that happens, but- Well, we'll get stuff done that way.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You get things done.
Speaker: There are dozens and over a hundred bills right now that are waiting for the governor to sign.
Speaker: Well, how come they can't- They're clemencies that are- How come they can't get to the governor's desk?
Speaker: What's stopping those bills?
Speaker: Well, there's a lieutenant governor, but they're held up in committee.
Speaker: That's his job.
Speaker: That's gonna be his job to get these things out of committee.
Speaker: Get him voted on and I'll sign him and then you move on to the next thing.
Speaker: Why are they stuck?
Speaker: I think, if I'm being honest with you, I think a lot of it comes down to like money.
Speaker: I think if I'm gonna be honest, I think a lot of it is the more time you- They won't get out of committee because- Is it kind of like a normal job when you work for the Senate and stuff?
Speaker: Do you just like, do you clock in?
Speaker: Do you clock out?
Speaker: No, no, you don't clock in and clock out.
Speaker: It's a salary?
Speaker: It's a salary.
Speaker: Okay, so that's what I was wondering.
Speaker: But who's paying your salary?
Speaker: The American people, yeah.
Speaker: It's just tax money.
Speaker: Shouldn't there be something to show for it?
Speaker: Yeah, there should be.
Speaker: But you know, I want to go back.
Speaker: I want to go to a point that there is, there's a number of years ago, somebody made a list of many
Speaker: Somebody made a list of a whole lot of professions a number of years ago, and what was the most trustworthy profession.
Speaker: And there is, there's politicians around there, there's pastors that are on there, there's small business owners, there's all kinds of professions, like over 50.
Speaker: And year after year after year, you know who comes out of the most trusted profession?
Speaker: Nurses.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: A nurse comes out.
Speaker: People talk to nurses all the time, and nurses are used to working with people, and they're used to listening.
Speaker: They're used to working with a team of people.
Speaker: That's why I think I can do well as a governor, because I'm used to working with people—all different kinds of people.
Speaker: But nursing has come out year after year as the most trusted profession.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And I think you have to be.
Speaker: You have to be.
Speaker: You have to be.
Speaker: In the year of 9-11, 2001, it was a tragic year.
Speaker: Yeah, yes.
Speaker: A whole year for this country.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: 9-11 was a terrible thing that happened.
Speaker: A lot of people that were lost, thousands of lives that were lost.
Speaker: And it was first responders that were the most trusted that year.
Speaker: But nursing was right underneath of it.
Speaker: And nursing has been right up there at the top.
Speaker: So...
Speaker: That's what I bring to the table.
Speaker: Is somebody that you can trust.
Speaker: Somebody's gonna listen to you.
Speaker: Somebody's gonna care.
Speaker: An actual person.
Speaker: A real person.
Speaker: This morning, I have coffee at a little place in our town, Mansfield.
Speaker: And this morning I sat and I talked with a young mother, 37 years old, and she told me her story, tears dripping, running down her face.
Speaker: And pretty soon here comes a friend that I've known for a couple of years.
Speaker: She's junior in high school, 16 year old junior in high school.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: She comes in, hug her, talk to her, listen to her.
Speaker: Then there's a 22 year old girl that comes in.
Speaker: Good friend of mine too.
Speaker: You know, so I have this 16 year old, this 22 year old, this 37 year old and all of them relate to me.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And I'm older than all three of them, but I listened to them and I care about them.
Speaker: And they know that, and I know that.
Speaker: That's how you get to be done.
Speaker: Right, to actually have, like I said, real people.
Speaker: Real people.
Speaker: They're real people.
Speaker: Yeah, real people.
Speaker: They're real people, and they have victories, and they have... Well, and that's another thing, too, is I don't ever even think in my whole life that I would ever be able to get the future governor or governor or lieutenant governor or future lieutenant governor.
Speaker: I don't think, you know, inside of my head when I envisioned starting this podcast... Why not?
Speaker: Well, because inside of my head, I'm like, I just feel like, why would they talk to me?
Speaker: Like, why?
Speaker: Like, in my head, I'm like, they would go talk to, they would rather talk to a radio show host over the phone than have a face.
Speaker: Well, I know.
Speaker: And that's, that's another thing too, is it's like, I love that you guys, you guys came face to face.
Speaker: People can see your reaction.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Uh, yeah.
Speaker: I was going to say, it's just like, I noticed that a lot of them, it's like you would, you wouldn't, they wouldn't even give me the time of day.
Speaker: A real, a real politician, a real politician would never give a normal, regular citizen from Missouri the time of day.
Speaker: They never would.
Speaker: I'm not a politician.
Speaker: And I'm proud to say that.
Speaker: I am a nurse and Missouri will be my patient.
Speaker: Hey, that's what I like to hear.
Speaker: And, and Missouri will be my kids.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Or like my parents or my grandparents or people that you respect.
Speaker: You know, these folks that have raised their children and raised their grandchildren and they've worked hard all their lives, they have my respect.
Speaker: People that are going through some really hard times, they have my heart.
Speaker: And let's work together.
Speaker: I'm not naive enough to think that you can swoop in and solve all the problems.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: There are a lot of issues.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And a lot of choices that are wrong choices.
Speaker: And if you make your bed, you lay in it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And you make your wrong choice, but that doesn't mean you have to stay in it.
Speaker: And that's not the end of it either.
Speaker: That's another thing too is you don't have to stay in it.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: You don't have to.
Speaker: That's where the system wants to keep you.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Also, like I said, they keep it very single-minded.
Speaker: Another thing is, like I was telling you guys earlier, a lot of people think like me, me, me, I, I, I. And what's best for just me or what's going to help my situation instead of what could I do as a whole to make, like with the music stuff, like for an instance, I'll give you guys like for instance, like
Speaker: I'm doing like where we're doing shows like I'm about to set up an eight show lineup where we're gonna have eight shows and set out flyers and everything like that.
Speaker: And I like, and I started sitting and thinking about it and I'm like, we don't just do this music for like, we don't just do it just to make music.
Speaker: I do it because there's someone out there who's gonna hear my song and go,
Speaker: You know, I'm going through something today and that's what I needed to hear or that's the beat I needed to hear to help me, you know, get that energy I needed to pass that test or you know, that's you know that I'm working on like I'm working on actually like creating a vibe in that sense, but I was trying to just basically get out like
Speaker: It just comes down to like the people.
Speaker: I care about the people.
Speaker: I want people to be happy.
Speaker: I want people to come and to have a good time.
Speaker: And that was like for the music side of it, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: But I just, I want stuff to work out.
Speaker: And so I get where you guys are coming from with just wanting to help Missouri out and actually like...
Speaker: really be there for the people.
Speaker: It's not just, I'm going to go into an office, I'm going to get paid my salary and just chill for the year.
Speaker: No, and sometimes you will say, you know, you want people to be happy.
Speaker: Life isn't like that.
Speaker: Life isn't like that all the time.
Speaker: And it's hard.
Speaker: Life is hard.
Speaker: And sometimes there isn't enough to take home.
Speaker: And there are too many bills and there are too many...
Speaker: things that are going wrong and you need a new roof and you need this and you need that and the kids are crying and you're just completely overwhelmed.
Speaker: But is there anybody that can come along beside you and say, you know what, I care.
Speaker: I care and it matters.
Speaker: I went through a really hard time a year ago.
Speaker: I had lost my husband, his father, and life was just hard and you're by yourself and it's hard.
Speaker: But people came alongside me.
Speaker: and they couldn't bring him back he was he died he passed away they couldn't bring him back and i'm very sorry about that well thank you but they cared right they cared and because people cared you were able to get through it it keeps you going in a sense it keeps you going when you feel like you've lost everything yeah and and i don't pretend to i can't solve i have no magic wand right by no means yeah but you know what i i care about somebody
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And I can tell that you do.
Speaker: I can tell from the passion in your voice and your face.
Speaker: I can just tell that you guys actually, like I said, you guys are genuine in the sense that you guys really do want to change Missouri and you guys want to make this a better place.
Speaker: And I feel like, like I said, it's not money hungry stuff and it's not politician type stuff.
Speaker: It's not, they're real people trying to do real things to really help real Missourians.
Speaker: And so I like that.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know, the thing is a good state.
Speaker: You know, the thing I was wondering about is this is a question for Philip.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So we were getting into like the felony thing and I just wanted to go, I'm just trying to touch base with you real quick, just to, you know, let the people know that you're that way, what they're seeing, if they do see anything is not the case, you know?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And you know, I will start by saying I won't go too much into it, but the state has gotten to the bottom of it.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: And I think things are going to go the way that we're wanting.
Speaker: You know, I will just say this, though.
Speaker: This is part of one of the fixes that we want to make in this state because
Speaker: Many fathers are getting charges put on them with a vindictive child's mother, baby mom, that gets angry and decides to lie instead of be honest.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Now, as I said, the state has gotten to the bottom of it, but...
Speaker: Yeah, and you said before the actual election, it's going to be actually cleared off of case net, so it won't even be a real— You'll be taking care of that.
Speaker: But, you know, here's my thing.
Speaker: How many dads out there, how many fathers are out there that are right now,
Speaker: in a beef with your baby mom.
Speaker: Too many to count.
Speaker: Yeah, it's literally too... It's literally so... So here's my question for the listeners.
Speaker: The number is massive.
Speaker: I want to ask the listeners a question.
Speaker: This is for the men.
Speaker: Okay, women, if you guys are listening, you guys can feel a certain way, but just listen for a minute.
Speaker: For the men, if you... Here's a hypothetical situation.
Speaker: If you got called over to your child's mother's house and she asked you to pick up your child,
Speaker: And there was an absolute total mess in the house.
Speaker: And you left, filed a DFS report, because mind you, to the listeners, let's assume that you have filed for custody of your child.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You file a report.
Speaker: So when your child's mother pulls up, she sees the police snooping around.
Speaker: I'm giving you guys a situation, the exact situation that happened to me.
Speaker: So what does she do instead of being honest with them and say, hey, I told him to come up here.
Speaker: I told him to come and do this.
Speaker: Get my kid.
Speaker: He saw a mess.
Speaker: He didn't know what was going on.
Speaker: So he did what.
Speaker: any normal person would do.
Speaker: And that would be what you guys would do?
Speaker: Any baby daddy.
Speaker: Any literally baby daddy that you don't know, you're going to react.
Speaker: Even with the baby mama there with the baby, I've seen baby daddies literally walk, literally go from right inside to walking outside to calling the CPS.
Speaker: It's online.
Speaker: It's right there.
Speaker: So since I didn't know, what did she do?
Speaker: Now, women, if you guys are listening,
Speaker: If you can relate, just say, you know what?
Speaker: I can relate.
Speaker: If your baby daddy called CPS on you, you'd be upset.
Speaker: I'm not even going to sit here and knock her.
Speaker: I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, why'd you get mad?
Speaker: Of course.
Speaker: Any normal person would have got mad because now you've got the laws messing with you.
Speaker: Her mistake, and this is where the state figured it out, her mistake was...
Speaker: You lied on him.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You shouldn't have said he broke in and all that.
Speaker: Girl, you told him you don't get it.
Speaker: Yeah, and that's the part that I, you know, I was looking into it myself, and I started going through, and I was reading the description, and I was, and then I talked to you, and then I listened to another radio show that you did, and I just kind of like, inside of my head, I'm like,
Speaker: all right, if he did it or he was in trouble for it, wouldn't he be, like, wouldn't they have him locked up?
Speaker: Especially for the charges.
Speaker: The charges that they have against you sound fictitious.
Speaker: I've never seen you act in this manner.
Speaker: It's because she lied.
Speaker: What she did is she lied so much.
Speaker: Just a nasty woman, my baby mom.
Speaker: She lied so much, right?
Speaker: And she was coming with all this stuff.
Speaker: And the prosecutor's been doing this for years, right?
Speaker: He's not a idiot.
Speaker: And I was going to say also.
Speaker: He's sitting here going.
Speaker: They conceded.
Speaker: Yeah, I can.
Speaker: I mean, I wouldn't even... You sound vindictive.
Speaker: You don't... This doesn't sound real.
Speaker: They deal with that every single day.
Speaker: So they can catch a life.
Speaker: You know, I also wanted to get this point across too.
Speaker: Like, you know, I think a lot of the dads out there will get this for the sake of like, you're always going to have love for your baby mama.
Speaker: Because that's who has your baby.
Speaker: Like, you had a baby with them.
Speaker: You're going to love them.
Speaker: It's not the same type of love as when you first meet somebody or you're married or this type of love.
Speaker: It's a love that we're bonded by a kid.
Speaker: So that's how it is.
Speaker: It's how it is.
Speaker: So I feel like I get where she's coming from, but I also get where you're coming from.
Speaker: We're going to have some stiff ramifications for that.
Speaker: You can't lie on people.
Speaker: and yeah that's another thing too is that you cannot lie on the record especially when you're making a police report that's your that's you know the state's gonna the state's gonna get her well it's gonna reverse it's gonna reverse oh yeah and i can say right now with confidence on the show she's got it coming the states yeah they're talking with my attorneys it you cannot lie to a prosecutor right embellish a story to make so that to let someone else get in trouble the kid yes she did it yeah that's why she like she was her her hope
Speaker: her hope was i can say something outlandish and hopefully i can just put him under the under the jail well and the thing i didn't understand was is the other baby daddy was like trying to join in on like trying to bash you and i'm like isn't he facing a case too because i went and started looking up her other baby daddies and her and stuff too and i'm like how does that make any sense i'm like okay so okay it's just because you're friends with him at the time well just because you're friends with them this week you're friends with them this week so now it's okay you talk to him
Speaker: I just didn't get that.
Speaker: I just didn't get the concept.
Speaker: They asked the state, too.
Speaker: They said, we want you guys to pay attention.
Speaker: Have you guys looked into this?
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: The same baby dad that's her best friend now.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: She made a report on him and said that she found child pornography on his laptop.
Speaker: Oh my God.
Speaker: Child pornography.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: So that's a report.
Speaker: So my attorney's like, wait a minute.
Speaker: You're claiming this is the same girl.
Speaker: Claiming the same.
Speaker: But when she gets mad, this is what she does.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: She just finds new stuff to try and.
Speaker: She just say something and lie on you.
Speaker: And then just try to get you.
Speaker: Well, and the crazier part is that the police around, the police in our state are like that.
Speaker: That you made the report on.
Speaker: And I get where they're.
Speaker: It's okay for him to hold my daughter?
Speaker: Pay attention.
Speaker: Pay attention, state.
Speaker: Fixing the system, you have to.
Speaker: I think there is a huge problem with the... There is a problem.
Speaker: It feels like with the lying and stuff.
Speaker: If you lie to law enforcement, you should be arrested right on the spot.
Speaker: Oh, she's got it coming because you can't say those... You can't do that.
Speaker: Yeah, that's slander.
Speaker: Yeah, slander, all that.
Speaker: Yeah, as a matter of fact, you could turn around and you guys could sue... Yeah, defamation of character.
Speaker: Especially when you're fighting... There's a law in all-town county so big, they have no idea.
Speaker: They have lots of charges.
Speaker: You guys are fighting for also like such, you know, big roles for the state of Missouri.
Speaker: And so that's why I wanted to ask you.
Speaker: And, you know, I'd previously, you know, looked into my, you know, just to see myself.
Speaker: And I tried looking up on Dr. Janice, too.
Speaker: And I just, you know, I was getting more information about Phillip on certain things where I was like, I think that she's more –
Speaker: okay not saying older but i'm saying that you got like you're more mature in the sense that you have everything together you have every that you're trying to do it and philip is on his way to doing that he's in the middle you know there's a middle stage you don't know how to do stuff perfect the first time you're never going to know how to and so and so i understand it and it makes sense to me and that's why like i said i just was bringing up that i just wanted to try and get that this to close this my mom i i gotta say you know she did warn me on
Speaker: I'm sorry.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker: On the alleged victim.
Speaker: She told me, this girl seems like bad news.
Speaker: I told you.
Speaker: I told you.
Speaker: As a matter of fact, I met at an Airbnb with Philip to record some music.
Speaker: All you listeners, one of the hosts knows who we're talking about.
Speaker: Knows who we're talking about.
Speaker: So it's not just me talking.
Speaker: But moms love their kids, and they've got a six-men.
Speaker: She's a nasty, nasty woman.
Speaker: And that's the other thing about it is that...
Speaker: Yeah, and that's the other thing too is, you know, if I met at an Airbnb with you, like when you first were getting with her and I had heard things about her.
Speaker: Like I said, I don't know her personally.
Speaker: I don't know, I never hung out with her more than when I hung out with Phillip.
Speaker: at that Airbnb, but I do know that I, you know, I'd heard things about her.
Speaker: And so when I seen her there with Phillip, I was like, Hey man, like, I'm just letting you know, like, I've heard this is bad news.
Speaker: Like, just look out for yourself.
Speaker: Not like trying to diss on nobody and you can all, you know, no disrespect to nobody.
Speaker: I just was like,
Speaker: I would rather say something to somebody and save them a headache over some stuff that could happen, but I get how it goes when, you know, and also it's really easy to fall, you know, when you fall for overhead or for over heels for somebody is really easy to get yourself into a dumb predicament really fast.
Speaker: Just off being upset.
Speaker: Just off being upset.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Well, and the thing with her is it, you know, like the saying goes for the streets,
Speaker: It wasn't even head over heels.
Speaker: It was just, nah, you're for the streets.
Speaker: So I was just like, nah, I'm trying to do it.
Speaker: Right, right, right, right.
Speaker: No, no, no.
Speaker: I get you.
Speaker: What it boils down to is we want to fix this archaic system.
Speaker: It shouldn't have taken...
Speaker: And that's another thing, too, that I wanted to say to the people.
Speaker: That's a thing that I wanted to say to my viewers is, like, you know, look past the felonies.
Speaker: Look past the dumb stuff.
Speaker: Look, like, you get your – It's baby mama drama.
Speaker: You should be adult enough.
Speaker: I mean, if you're adult enough, you should be able to look at the situation and you can read through.
Speaker: It doesn't, you know, smart or dumb.
Speaker: You can still – People lie.
Speaker: They need to pay for what they do.
Speaker: Oh, she's going to pay for what she did.
Speaker: Here's the question that I ask the viewers, are you listeners and viewers.
Speaker: This isn't to call anyone out.
Speaker: This is just to call the facts.
Speaker: This is just facts.
Speaker: Donald Trump.
Speaker: Do you know how many felonies he's facing?
Speaker: I think 96.
Speaker: About 96, 93, something like that.
Speaker: Is it 96?
Speaker: It's 93.
Speaker: Something like that.
Speaker: He's the front runner, right?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So if we're willing to overlook his and we know that it's just junk from the left.
Speaker: why I'm asking Missouri to do the exact same thing with me.
Speaker: Because it's just junk from the left.
Speaker: This is literally one of the most bigoted, hateful women.
Speaker: I have one problem, is that's just her that's getting rejected.
Speaker: So Missouri, this has nothing to do with how I'm gonna govern the state.
Speaker: Right and that's another thing that I wanted to do That's what I was trying to do is like divert them and did you know let people let people know that you guys that it's not about It shouldn't matter about that.
Speaker: It should matter about how you're moving now and what you're trying to do now It doesn't matter about what happened in the past and I mean
Speaker: Like I said, the past does matter, but at the same time, like you got to be able to move forward.
Speaker: One of the most least reputable women.
Speaker: It comes.
Speaker: There's another issue.
Speaker: There's another issue.
Speaker: And you have a young black man.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Talk to him.
Speaker: And it's real easy to point a finger at a young black man.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And say, mm-mm.
Speaker: And especially someone who came here.
Speaker: You know, that's another thing that I know.
Speaker: You know, we're all, even us, we're all not from here.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Like, we're not.
Speaker: This is.
Speaker: And so that's why I don't get the bigoted hatefulness side of it for color or any of that.
Speaker: Because I love everyone for who you are inside.
Speaker: It's about.
Speaker: It shouldn't be that way.
Speaker: Just because you're black doesn't mean you're guilty.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Trump's not guilty, right?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: The Haitian people have a saying.
Speaker: I'm going to say this in Creole.
Speaker: If there's any Haitians that are listening, I'm going to say a Haitian proverb.
Speaker: And that is all blood runs red.
Speaker: And they know that all blood
Speaker: He runs red.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: It don't matter about the color.
Speaker: It's about, yeah.
Speaker: And I would tell my kids, this is my son.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: His brother is my son.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And do we look alike?
Speaker: You know, I didn't look like my mom.
Speaker: I didn't really look like my dad, but we have a cat that's had a whole slew of kittens.
Speaker: Yeah, and that's another thing I was going to ask you guys.
Speaker: When did you actually run a, like, when did you come across Phillip?
Speaker: 1998.
Speaker: 1998.
Speaker: That's the year I was born.
Speaker: It was three.
Speaker: a little over three years old, but I don't care what color my kids are.
Speaker: These are my kids.
Speaker: These are my kids.
Speaker: And I don't care how they come to you.
Speaker: It's love up here.
Speaker: Whether it comes to you through natural birth, whether it comes to you through adoption, whether it comes to you, I don't do- Randomly at your door?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You're a foster.
Speaker: Uh-uh.
Speaker: No, I don't do that.
Speaker: I don't do step.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I don't do that kind of stuff.
Speaker: Yeah, because you make someone feel less.
Speaker: Yeah, you don't do that.
Speaker: You're not a part of my system.
Speaker: You don't have a foster son, you have a son.
Speaker: That's your son, yeah.
Speaker: That is my son.
Speaker: That's my kid.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: With my baby, you change up many diapers, that child's yours.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But, you know, he was three and a half.
Speaker: Three and a half year olds are handfuls.
Speaker: They have a lot of energy and they have their own.
Speaker: Oh, this guy, this guy, I bet so.
Speaker: And they have their strong will.
Speaker: They're curious.
Speaker: They're inquisitive.
Speaker: They're supposed to be like that.
Speaker: And you're supposed to be the parent that guides them and keeps them safe and helps them grow up and becomes whatever they're supposed to become.
Speaker: Where's he at in the meantime?
Speaker: But that's what it's supposed to be like.
Speaker: That's what it's supposed to be like that.
Speaker: Did you pick him up on a mission trip in Haiti?
Speaker: No, we lived in Haiti.
Speaker: Oh, you lived in Haiti at the time.
Speaker: My husband and I lived there.
Speaker: I climbed into the back of the truck.
Speaker: You opened up the suitcase.
Speaker: Yeah, it was there.
Speaker: He was three and a half.
Speaker: His brother was six weeks old.
Speaker: And so we met this family on a Tuesday and brought the children home the following Monday.
Speaker: Went through the adoption process, but we lived in country, so we had the children with us right six days later.
Speaker: and then went through all the legal steps of satisfying two governments.
Speaker: Yeah, trying to get it to where he was.
Speaker: Bringing them here.
Speaker: So you're a full U.S. citizen?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Okay, awesome.
Speaker: He's been a full U.S. citizen.
Speaker: Since he was three?
Speaker: He got his citizenship when he was six.
Speaker: Six.
Speaker: They would have tried to get rid of me a long time ago.
Speaker: Send him home.
Speaker: he was six when he became his brother was two and a half oh okay and so is is that your real brother in haiti oh okay that's pretty cool i didn't even know that i didn't even know you had a brother for real that's awesome okay and do you have any kids yourself no no okay i do i have these well i'm yeah yeah well no i meant like biological and i mean yeah biological but you get what i'm saying that's my son
Speaker: Yes, okay, I understand.
Speaker: No, I just was, I was just, yeah, you do.
Speaker: You guys got the same nose.
Speaker: Same smile, too.
Speaker: That's beautiful.
Speaker: Yeah, I was gonna say, you guys do have good smiles, though.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: But, yeah, no, I just was,
Speaker: you know, I'm happy about this.
Speaker: Every person is valuable.
Speaker: And it doesn't matter that they're not blood.
Speaker: I mean, all blood runs red, so who cares?
Speaker: And that obviously lets me know right then and there that you care about, you would care about every Missourian once you get into that government position.
Speaker: It's not about just one specific person or pleasing these certain type of people.
Speaker: It's about pleasing everybody, whether you're Democratic, whether you're Republican, whether you're Black, whether you're White, whether you're
Speaker: disabled or whether you're tall skinny short or you know and i and so i that's that's true when when my husband and i lived in well i feel like that's an issue that i have like thinking about government i think that they look at us and they go like oh they're just they don't care yeah and they also know that we're and i feel like they also know that we're kind of oblivious to government stuff like the younger youth you know i would say 25 and below a lot of them haven't paid attention to uh we were just talking about that talking about education
Speaker: Is that one of your questions?
Speaker: Let me check, actually.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Talk to me about education.
Speaker: Whoa, that's a big one with me.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I can tell.
Speaker: I can tell.
Speaker: I homeschooled my kids.
Speaker: You know why I homeschooled them?
Speaker: You can tell I'm homeschooled.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I homeschooled them because I thought, I'm not going to trust them to a broken system.
Speaker: These are my children.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: This is my son.
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: No, and you were right for that because the school system is broken.
Speaker: I am not going to trust them to a system that's broken.
Speaker: I can do a better job myself.
Speaker: Well, and also if you think about it, you know, a lot of the teachers are getting, even if you're so passionate and you love the students, you love the job, you also have to be able to survive.
Speaker: You have to be able to live.
Speaker: You have to be able to pay your bills.
Speaker: You have to be able, and I've noticed a lot of, you know, even when I was in school, I felt bad for my teachers.
Speaker: Because I would be like, you don't have this, or you're not able to do this.
Speaker: In my head, I thought teachers were at this way higher level.
Speaker: I thought they were making half a million dollars a year.
Speaker: I thought they were, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: I thought they were King Kong for all I thought in my head.
Speaker: Something we're going to do is increase the pay for the teachers of Missouri.
Speaker: And another thing is we're going to increase the pay for the correctional officers.
Speaker: We've got to fix the pay scale here, but go ahead.
Speaker: I just wanted to say that.
Speaker: No, you're completely fine.
Speaker: I was just... When it comes to hot button issues like that, a lot of the times people want to avoid it.
Speaker: And it kind of sounds like to me... Well, you ignore it.
Speaker: So it's going to degenerate.
Speaker: It's going to get worse.
Speaker: Yeah, it sounds like you guys are going head on, though.
Speaker: It's going to get worse.
Speaker: To me...
Speaker: It sounds like you guys are going head on.
Speaker: Find the problem.
Speaker: Why are, why are.
Speaker: Right at the train.
Speaker: High school graduates so low in their ability to function in life.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Why, why have they not gained the skills that they're supposed to have in life?
Speaker: Because.
Speaker: Can I be honest with you though?
Speaker: I'd love for you to be honest.
Speaker: i think that it's the culture i think that it's the it's our movies it's our music it's the how we talk it's how we walk it's how we who we go around what we're trying to do the stuff that you're trying to be involved in um because every person's different but in the same token of saying that people are all doing the same things so um yeah and that's true and so that's why i'm like in my head i'm like you have to be able to
Speaker: be able to hit all those groups and be able to hit what's the actual topic.
Speaker: What's the issue?
Speaker: Cause I could have seven different groups of people and they could all be on different things or be doing different things.
Speaker: And so like, and that's the part about like the government system.
Speaker: Like why I feel like we're kind of a small in that sense is because a lot of, a lot of them don't, they don't look past, they look past the actual citizens themselves.
Speaker: And so that's wrong.
Speaker: Yeah, that's wrong because that's telling you that you don't matter.
Speaker: And again, the little, and I'm not saying you're a little, little people, but the average ordinary person, people, people will tell me, they'll say, well, when you get to Jefferson city, don't forget the little people.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And I said, you're not, we're all talking about, you're talking about babies.
Speaker: They're little, you're talking about toddlers.
Speaker: They're little, no us, but I don't see you as little.
Speaker: I see you the same as me.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You guys are still humans too.
Speaker: Still people.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You know, all blood runs red.
Speaker: I understand.
Speaker: I understand.
Speaker: But education.
Speaker: Education is what are the benchmarks?
Speaker: Where do you expect kids to be at the end of pre-K?
Speaker: Where are the benchmarks of where they should be at the end of kindergarten, at the end of first grade?
Speaker: And we're putting so much importance on kids making them feel good that it all becomes emotional.
Speaker: And so the kids don't have any idea who they are, what they are, where they are.
Speaker: They don't have any idea of that.
Speaker: And so they're trying to satisfy false dreams and false desires.
Speaker: In the meantime, education is put in the back.
Speaker: So what are we learning?
Speaker: What are we teaching kids about life?
Speaker: What are we teaching kids about how to function?
Speaker: How do you...
Speaker: How do you?
Speaker: Not a lot of anything.
Speaker: Unless you learn it at your house or you learn it at somewhere else around you.
Speaker: But most of the time, no.
Speaker: The school doesn't teach you.
Speaker: The school just teach you ABC one, two, three.
Speaker: They pass that.
Speaker: It's all just kind of whatever stuff.
Speaker: It's all.
Speaker: I mean, I'm not trying to say that school is not important and that college isn't important and that doing that education thing isn't important.
Speaker: But I mean, like in my head, I felt like school wasn't even for me.
Speaker: I feel like the kind of I feel like I'm the kind of person where I'm kind of like Einstein, where like,
Speaker: I would be bored.
Speaker: I would be bored of the place.
Speaker: I'm not getting no intellectual value from this place at all.
Speaker: Okay, then where do you need to be challenged and why weren't you?
Speaker: Okay, I would say that in the sense that they didn't.
Speaker: Okay, so like, let's take it for instance, like China.
Speaker: They, at a young age, they grab the kids and they say, okay, what do you want to be?
Speaker: And then in their school systems, they teach you that one thing.
Speaker: They don't teach you, they're not going to teach you, you know, M times square equals WC plus or whatever, you know?
Speaker: they're teach you the exact, like, okay, so like, let's say when I was, you know, eight years old and they would have asked me, hey, what do you want to be?
Speaker: I would have, you know, hey, I want to be a mechanic.
Speaker: Then they would have immediately put me into that field with people who are doing that.
Speaker: So at a very young age, you would already be adapted to how to, I know how the whole thing works from front to end.
Speaker: I can take apart it, anything, all of them.
Speaker: And so that's what I feel like
Speaker: our school system is meant to waste your time.
Speaker: And I'm not, I'm saying the actual public school system is meant to give your parents a break to go to work or if they're section eight, to stay at home.
Speaker: And it also gives the opportunity for, they get lunch, they get,
Speaker: you know what i'm saying you get the opportunity to visit with your friends it gives them social so i mean it's not that it's all bad but at the same time of saying that like i feel like it's just a waste of your time i feel like it's a way for oh okay so and that's another thing too i hate that jobs do that like oh if you have a high school diploma then we'll hire you well i could do the job better i could do the job better than 50 of these people that have a high school diploma and what they stuck out four more years than me or you know two more years than me but
Speaker: So that means that they're way more qualified than me?
Speaker: No, no, no, that's a general.
Speaker: That's a general.
Speaker: Anyone can go get, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: The same question applies to, you know, like the other network.
Speaker: They asked, what are your qualifications for being governor and lieutenant governor?
Speaker: I don't think you need qualifications for that.
Speaker: The only qualification I think you need is to be headstrong.
Speaker: To genuinely care about the state.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: That's your qualification.
Speaker: People are quick to say, oh, but did you go to here?
Speaker: But what are they doing?
Speaker: They're classifying and they're putting you into this caste system and they're essentially saying, oh, well, you're not a Jeff City elite club member.
Speaker: So you're not really qualified.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: That's not what that question is.
Speaker: I get what you're.
Speaker: OK, so when I heard that, that's what I thought in my head.
Speaker: I thought he was trying to basically belittle you.
Speaker: OK, so what's the.
Speaker: Have you read for this?
Speaker: They're not doing anything right now.
Speaker: There are three people running for governor against my mom that have a track record that's trash.
Speaker: I know, but I hate the fact that they.
Speaker: So what is the track record?
Speaker: No.
Speaker: It doesn't seem to me that it's the track record.
Speaker: It seems to me, do you have an ability to problem solve?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Can you administrate and can you problem solve?
Speaker: Yes, yeah.
Speaker: And that's common sense.
Speaker: I have an acrostic.
Speaker: It's called clear sight.
Speaker: Clear sight, okay.
Speaker: See where you're going.
Speaker: And the first one is the C, C-L-E-A-R, clear, common sense.
Speaker: That's right at the top.
Speaker: Common sense is.
Speaker: It's probably one of the most important things for being a human.
Speaker: If you do not have common sense, a lot of people, you'll find yourself in a lot of messes.
Speaker: The L is for livelihood.
Speaker: We spend an awful lot of our time
Speaker: wherever it is that we work.
Speaker: Are you happy where you work?
Speaker: Are you qualified where you work?
Speaker: Are you able to make ends meet from where you work?
Speaker: Your livelihood.
Speaker: E is education.
Speaker: A is agriculture.
Speaker: This is an agricultural state.
Speaker: I care about that.
Speaker: are our resources, what are including human, what are our resources here in Missouri?
Speaker: And, and what are we doing to increase the value of our resources, including people?
Speaker: Well, and that's why.
Speaker: SIGHT safety and security.
Speaker: I back the blue.
Speaker: I care about our veterans and I don't think illegals should be taken over the state.
Speaker: He came from someplace else.
Speaker: Well, I did too.
Speaker: But he came in legally.
Speaker: I sat with a girl this morning, this 37-year-old girl.
Speaker: She's from Honduras.
Speaker: And she said, we worked so hard to get here.
Speaker: And she said, it hurts when I see people come right in and get all the privileges.
Speaker: It took my husband and I 10 years to work for.
Speaker: To get the paperwork correct and actually be legal.
Speaker: But they did it.
Speaker: They did it.
Speaker: But it's hard for them.
Speaker: But safety and security.
Speaker: And then you have the drugs that come across the border.
Speaker: You have child trafficking.
Speaker: You have porno.
Speaker: All kinds of stuff that other countries are making money off of.
Speaker: that affects our citizens here.
Speaker: S-I-G-H-T, I is infrastructure.
Speaker: G, government is way too big.
Speaker: It's way too big.
Speaker: H is healthcare.
Speaker: And T is taxes.
Speaker: So those things I will hit, and I'm not going to make false promises, and I'm not going to say that I have the answers to everything.
Speaker: But I think collectively we can figure it out.
Speaker: We can figure things out.
Speaker: People are not stupid.
Speaker: I like it.
Speaker: I like that.
Speaker: That's what I want to do.
Speaker: And I feel like the biggest issue right now with you running for governor is that the other three are white males and that they have money.
Speaker: Just like I said, people whispering in their ears.
Speaker: and i feel like that's why like because when i went to go look you up because i looked up philip and there i had no issues like he popped up right on the ranks and that and i was like i started looking up janice and i'm like well what's going on here like i'm like how come and then i started looking into it and i'm like oh it's because they got these like random three white dudes as running as the top runners when it should be like i mean it should be everybody who's a candidate should be on that list in my opinion and then
Speaker: At the same time of that, like if your target group isn't huge, then you won't be on that list.
Speaker: And I'm like, well, that's just baloney, though.
Speaker: That's not right.
Speaker: But here's what it is, though.
Speaker: People need to know who you are.
Speaker: If you're going to do something good for Missouri.
Speaker: That's why I need you.
Speaker: Yeah, I know.
Speaker: Hey, that's why I need you.
Speaker: This is what I want the listeners to remember and think about for a minute.
Speaker: Because I want everybody to ponder on this for a minute.
Speaker: There are about six million people in this state.
Speaker: About six million.
Speaker: Why is it...
Speaker: that only about 550 to 600,000 people vote.
Speaker: Now I'll tell you, those people are the older electorate.
Speaker: As much as we love and need you, you're the wisdom of the state and we need to learn from you.
Speaker: But this is for our young people.
Speaker: You are allowing a certain electorate age to decide your future and then you're complaining about it when they're not doing anything.
Speaker: And that's why we stay strapped up.
Speaker: There's your voter identification.
Speaker: With the voter's card.
Speaker: I'm 25 from Missouri and I'm voting.
Speaker: I'm making sure.
Speaker: I'm trying to make a difference in ours.
Speaker: If you're not going to put a dot, then don't dot it.
Speaker: There's two voting cards, guys.
Speaker: All the listeners, go get your voting cards.
Speaker: We are the ones, we are the deciding factor this voting cycle.
Speaker: Are we going to allow- And that's the scary part with the whole Biden and Trump thing.
Speaker: The whole folks that don't care about you, they don't care.
Speaker: Yeah, they don't.
Speaker: Or are you going to- Not here personally in Missouri.
Speaker: Try something different.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Well, and that's why I was thinking about the Trump and the Biden thing.
Speaker: And I was like, I've always thought since Biden got into office that that was a setup.
Speaker: There's people that are running this, man.
Speaker: There's people who are going, hey, you walk here.
Speaker: You're going to say this.
Speaker: says what are my marching orders he says it on TV how does this guy literally like a marionette puppet literally and when he calls the vice president from the democratic party
Speaker: That's something wrong.
Speaker: He's being pulled strings from the Democratic Party.
Speaker: Like, how are you going to tell me that you did a speech and then you're going to sleep?
Speaker: Like, I've seen four different videos of this man literally just going straight to sleep while talking.
Speaker: You're standing up on a stage.
Speaker: There are six places to get off.
Speaker: He's tired, man.
Speaker: Get that guy out of the office.
Speaker: He's tired.
Speaker: Get him out of the office.
Speaker: I want Trump.
Speaker: I want Trump back.
Speaker: And the only reason I say this is because he's just like y'all.
Speaker: And the fact that he's self-made.
Speaker: He has his own stuff.
Speaker: He's doing his own stuff.
Speaker: He's been doing his own stuff.
Speaker: He's been paying his own bills.
Speaker: He's been making it happen by himself.
Speaker: And you guys are the same exact way.
Speaker: Donald Trump and I, I love the man.
Speaker: I'm telling you, Mr. President, I love you.
Speaker: I love you.
Speaker: And big shout out to Dan Scavino.
Speaker: Dan, I know you're watching this.
Speaker: Love you, Dan.
Speaker: Me and Donald, we are, I would say, you know E. Jean Carroll?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Channing's my E. Jean Carroll.
Speaker: The only difference is I'm not going to have to pay $80 million.
Speaker: She might end up having to pay us once we're all done.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: The bottom line is we're just normal folks that decided we want to make a difference.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: I'm going to make this happen.
Speaker: And they decided, you know what?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Who cares?
Speaker: And this is why I need all of you listeners.
Speaker: Go get your voter identification card.
Speaker: Because the same way that they thought they could just put this innocent black man under the bus.
Speaker: They do the same thing to you.
Speaker: I'm your retribution this election.
Speaker: I am your voice.
Speaker: I was also going to say you also know that they're not going to do to me what I'm not going to let them do it.
Speaker: And I'm not going to let them do the same thing to you.
Speaker: And if she becomes the governor, I can promise you what you have an uncle, you have a grandpa, you have a cousin, you have your brother that needs to get out.
Speaker: You will have a governor.
Speaker: that will get him out.
Speaker: You got a lieutenant governor that's going to listen to you.
Speaker: Actually find the problem.
Speaker: And that's the thing about it is I feel like a lot of people, a lot of the politicians don't know the actual problems.
Speaker: It's just paperwork to them.
Speaker: And they don't actually, they never go footing on the ground.
Speaker: You never see these people in East St.
Speaker: Louis.
Speaker: I've never seen a politician in East St.
Speaker: Louis.
Speaker: So, I mean, you never see, and you've never been to the prospects in Kansas City, and I never seen no politician walking around there handing out chicken, trying to hang out with people, and, you know, pizza, nothing.
Speaker: I ain't seen a politician care about it.
Speaker: Well, Kehoe, he did a, he went to Carl's Jr., I believe it was, or Hardee's.
Speaker: Hardee's, it was Hardee's.
Speaker: It was Hardee's, and he did a breakfast.
Speaker: He did it one time.
Speaker: One time.
Speaker: One time.
Speaker: With a Hardee shirt on.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: You took a picture, and then that's it.
Speaker: So it's like... And it's out of Hardee's, too, so they're paying for the food.
Speaker: It's not like I went to the homeless community, brought it out of my own pocket.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: Mike, you didn't do anything special.
Speaker: You took a nice picture.
Speaker: That apron was a little tight on you, Mike.
Speaker: Go one size up.
Speaker: Next time, pick it a little bit looser at the apron if you're going to do it.
Speaker: But...
Speaker: Take care of the people you want to be their governor.
Speaker: It's all about, they get the idea.
Speaker: And I even had representatives tell me too.
Speaker: They said, why are you wanting to run for lieutenant governor?
Speaker: Don't you want to pay your dues first?
Speaker: As much as that might make sense to the listeners,
Speaker: That should tell you all their mindset.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Well, you haven't paid your dues.
Speaker: You haven't been in the house.
Speaker: And you haven't passed our stuff.
Speaker: You have to be in the house in the Senate, and then we'll allow you to run for the people.
Speaker: And I said, wait a minute.
Speaker: Isn't this about of the people, by the people, for the people?
Speaker: Yeah, it's supposed to be.
Speaker: Isn't this supposed to be a popular vote?
Speaker: So if that's the case, I got you guys beat because you can't sing.
Speaker: You look terrible, and your little poll ratings are so low, you shouldn't even be up here on the stage.
Speaker: But that's how Missouri is designed.
Speaker: It's designed where it's this little club.
Speaker: And then they say, have you been in the club long enough?
Speaker: There are 50 little clubs.
Speaker: Oh, you can be in the big club.
Speaker: That's wrong.
Speaker: Right, right, right, right.
Speaker: Look at every single one except for Greitens.
Speaker: You remember Eric Greitens?
Speaker: I don't know who Aaron Greitens is.
Speaker: I think I'm not going to know.
Speaker: Before Parson?
Speaker: He was the governor before Parson.
Speaker: Came in from left field.
Speaker: And that lets you know how good he was of a governor.
Speaker: Well, think about it.
Speaker: I wasn't there.
Speaker: Think about it for a minute, though, what they did.
Speaker: I've been to Missouri.
Speaker: I see you about what they did to him, though.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: What happened?
Speaker: He came in from left field and he wasn't accepted because he was an elitist.
Speaker: Now, all of a sudden, Eric Greitens touched someone.
Speaker: oh he did or he didn't he didn't it was false accusation all of a sudden yeah all of a sudden he touched somebody and then he was that's all the rage nowadays they gave him an ultimatum well i was gonna say that for anybody who's doing really anything in life you know if you um you do something crazy man get people talking
Speaker: They're gonna blow you up.
Speaker: It doesn't matter what you're is whether it's negative positive or neutral if you're doing something that's yeah, all but they're bad press or good press It's all press and it's and it all matters.
Speaker: I got one piece of I mean shoot if there's one thing that's out right now.
Speaker: That's why I've got
Speaker: eight interviews lined up right everybody wants to talk about one thing and i'm saying well wait we shouldn't no let's talk about the actual issues that's not like let's uh let's get away from the the you know the dumb stuff or you know the simple stuff the stuff that's going to clear itself up anyways um and let's actually get to the real topics and that's missouri and that's the you know what i'm saying that's how i felt when i'm dealing with rosie o'donnell of springfield missouri
Speaker: Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker: But that's the Facebook talking points.
Speaker: That's the X. That's where people are.
Speaker: They believe anything.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: It takes a little more work to dig in and find out.
Speaker: Well, and that's why I wanted you guys live here today.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: I wanted you guys live here today so I could...
Speaker: So I could actually see real faces, get your guys' actual intention.
Speaker: Like I said, I think a lot of people just did.
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: I was trying to say that a lot of the political views for you, it wasn't showing anything online for your political views.
Speaker: And so that's what we were trying to get into because we were like, I just didn't understand.
Speaker: It was like a biography in a sense to me.
Speaker: When I read the thing that I seen, it was like a biography about Dr. Janice.
Speaker: And I was like,
Speaker: I wasn't correlating to me because I was like, how does that how is that gonna like I just don't understand how a nurse was gonna do something for Missouri.
Speaker: You get what I'm saying at such a high level.
Speaker: But after talking with you now, I can see that you you have a lot more thought process behind it than just, hey, I'm a nurse and I'm going to go in for governor.
Speaker: You see what I'm saying?
Speaker: Because off first glance, like I said, it wasn't giving me any political views about how you actually felt about stuff.
Speaker: And then, like I said, it wasn't like,
Speaker: enough people hadn't probably clicked into your profile or something.
Speaker: Something's going on there to where, like, it wasn't showing you on the main page, and I want to get that like that.
Speaker: And it's being built, too.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And that's another thing, too.
Speaker: It takes time.
Speaker: It takes time.
Speaker: If you're... Yeah, be patient.
Speaker: Be patient, because, you know, as the months go along, you guys will notice that your guys' names will get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
Speaker: And, I mean, whether that's, you know, through podcasts, interviews, radio interviews, whatever, you know, I mean, eventually...
Speaker: You guys will catch Missourians' eyes in the fact that you guys are actually trying to do something that's going to help us.
Speaker: That's what we want to do.
Speaker: I've been going, we, but... And you guys showed up in person, so... Yeah, this is so great.
Speaker: Your real life.
Speaker: Your real life here.
Speaker: I've gone to a number of Lincoln Reagan dinners, but you only get a certain demographic.
Speaker: And that's not...
Speaker: that's not representative of that county.
Speaker: You know, you might have 100 people or a couple hundred people, but yet you have a whole slew of people that live in the county and just very few of them come.
Speaker: And that's not to say that they're not important.
Speaker: But I want to figure out a way.
Speaker: to reach more of the county than people that maybe they can't pay 50 bucks to come out to a dinner.
Speaker: Right, right, right.
Speaker: It's not about that, yeah.
Speaker: And if you're really wanting to be a part of it, you should be able to be a part of it and it not be about money.
Speaker: And not be about your social status.
Speaker: That's right, and you have to p ay a certain amount
Speaker: I feel like you should be able to be a homeless man with one ripped off sleeve and a pant leg sleeve.
Speaker: And if you, and if you're really passionate, I think you should, you have a, you have a point, you know what I'm saying?
Speaker: So if, if you're actually passionate about it and it's within you, it doesn't matter how you come for appearance or how, you know, you know,
Speaker: Not everybody has everything together every day.
Speaker: So I understand how it goes, but I just, like I said, I like where you guys are going with like what you guys are trying to do as far as through the GOP and with the Republicans.
Speaker: Putting Missouri back on track.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I believe in the state.
Speaker: I believe in the people of the state.
Speaker: I believe in the power of the people of the state.
Speaker: and they get sidelined and it's a train that's derailed.
Speaker: And the train is a people.
Speaker: And how do you take somebody to get that back on track again?
Speaker: And that's work.
Speaker: But I'm willing to do that.
Speaker: I've worked hard all my life.
Speaker: Yeah, that was one of our questions too, is like, you know, with everything that you've got going on, because aren't you a dean in Haiti?
Speaker: Yes, I am.
Speaker: Yeah, and so that's what we were like wondering.
Speaker: I was like, how is she going to be able to juggle between Haiti and Missouri?
Speaker: Because I have a great faculty that are there.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And I've worked with them over the years.
Speaker: So you have a team.
Speaker: You have a team.
Speaker: Oh, I have a wonderful team.
Speaker: I have an administrator.
Speaker: You have people who actually care who are with you, for you.
Speaker: That's awesome.
Speaker: They're Haitians.
Speaker: Oh, okay.
Speaker: They're Haitians.
Speaker: And I've trained them how, just because you're a nurse doesn't mean you're a professor.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: So you work with people and you teach them how to teach.
Speaker: And you teach them how to assess learning, how to write a good test, how to evaluate students, how to tell if they are, if a sophomore is at the place they should be as a sophomore nursing student.
Speaker: When they are ready to graduate, have they mastered the skills?
Speaker: Do they have the ability to problem solve with patients?
Speaker: And they're not going to have it like me.
Speaker: I've been a nurse for a long time now.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You understand it.
Speaker: I had to start someplace.
Speaker: And you have a- Nobody does it perfect.
Speaker: And your goal is you want to pass the RN exam.
Speaker: You want to pass the government exam that you can become a registered nurse.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: in haiti the average nursing school has a 69 pass rate that's pretty low that is really low average nursing school in haiti has 69 my school is 92.3 that's oh that's good numbers that's a number one in the country yeah it's the number one in the country because i have a solid have a great faculty there well not right there just proves that you you can already manage something that's right you're managing something at a high level too and it's not just it's started at the bottom
Speaker: bottom and built it from scratch started from the bottom now we're here yeah i like that i like that great song by dredge so it's it's the same it's the same thing yeah just on a bigger scale
Speaker: That was perfect.
Speaker: That was perfect.
Speaker: How can I do that?
Speaker: Because I don't do it by myself.
Speaker: We work together.
Speaker: So you got a whole team.
Speaker: That's what I was concerned with.
Speaker: I was like, are you going to be able to focus directly on Missouri on certain things when you might have something pressing in Haiti?
Speaker: And that's the part where I was like, well, I want to ask her that because it's something that the people should know.
Speaker: People should know if we're going to have somebody come through, have them be in this way or that way.
Speaker: But I can do
Speaker: Missouri because I know how to do that.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Because I've done that.
Speaker: And how long have you guys been in Missouri, if you don't mind me asking?
Speaker: July will be 16 years.
Speaker: July will be 16 years.
Speaker: That's a long time.
Speaker: That's a long time.
Speaker: All I can say is this, is that I think you guys have a lot of great things and stuff like that.
Speaker: And all the questions that I've had, you guys have pretty much knocked it out of the ballpark and left me almost speechless and everything.
Speaker: And...
Speaker: I can personally say that I will be voting for you guys, for sure, 100%, because everything that you guys have said are the things that I actually care about, the foster care system, prison, school system, many things like that, and those are things that need to be fixed and need to be changed, and I believe in you guys.
Speaker: I believe in you guys very much, and I will be voting for you guys 100%.
Speaker: But you know what?
Speaker: It's something else.
Speaker: I do not take that vote lightly.
Speaker: I do not, but you have been involved in the foster system.
Speaker: You've been involved in a broken education system.
Speaker: You know about the prison system.
Speaker: You're exactly the person to sit down with, already knows the problems.
Speaker: You're exactly the person to sit down with.
Speaker: Yeah, we're the ones who deal with the problems every day.
Speaker: At those kitchen tables that say, how do you think we can fix this?
Speaker: And you've got the voice to do it with what you're doing right here.
Speaker: You've got that, I just didn't say the voice, you have the avenue.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: To do it.
Speaker: So, well, I appreciate you guys saying that.
Speaker: It's great.
Speaker: Because it makes me feel better about like what I'm doing because when I got all this stuff together and I started, you know, putting together the Z House Mafia and like, what are we going to do as far as like for all of our other groups and other stuff we had going on?
Speaker: And I was like, you have to be able to keep pushing.
Speaker: And you have to realize that there's, you know, at the end of the tunnel, there is light.
Speaker: And so right now it might seem like the tunnel's falling on you and, you know, you're trapped and everything, you know, every your world's caving in.
Speaker: If you can hang on, breathe, you know, if you got to walk it off, if you got to talk to somebody, if you got it, if you know, you need a therapist, you need, you know, if you need something.
Speaker: you know, closed mouths don't get fed.
Speaker: And so, and so that's why I'm like, that's why I'm doing what I'm doing.
Speaker: Cause I'm, I'm making it to where people can be able to open up their mouth to be able to let people know who they are and what they got going on.
Speaker: You know,
Speaker: I mean, I hate to say politicians because you guys aren't politicians, but that wasn't my intention when I actually started this podcast.
Speaker: It wasn't.
Speaker: Our intention was to do music review and interviews in general.
Speaker: So like I said, it was just a very great thing to me when Philip reached out and was like, hey, I like what you guys are doing up there.
Speaker: I like how it's going together.
Speaker: I like how you guys got like you guys are actually doing something.
Speaker: And that made me feel good because I was like, you are.
Speaker: A lot of people in my, like, even in my city, Joplin specifically, will say, hey, I'm doing this, man.
Speaker: Link up with me.
Speaker: We'll get this going.
Speaker: And then you get over there, and it's not set up at all.
Speaker: It's not an actual setup at all.
Speaker: Like, I mean, not trying to be disrespectful to none of my, you know, Joplin's.
Speaker: This is lit.
Speaker: But I'm just like, I actually went and put the time in and the money in.
Speaker: And that's...
Speaker: That doesn't respect you.
Speaker: That doesn't respect you.
Speaker: Or your time.
Speaker: Yeah, and that's another thing too is that a lot of the people think it's a game if you don't already have something to show for it.
Speaker: So like when I was first starting out, it was kind of,
Speaker: It kind of sucked because all I had was my music.
Speaker: All I had was what I was creating on my mic and what I was putting out.
Speaker: And then I started to realize, I started to tone back.
Speaker: I'm like, there's so many different aspects I could be hitting.
Speaker: It's not just about one thing.
Speaker: One thing is not what's gonna get us to the top or one thing's not gonna be the thing that never in life never happens.
Speaker: Not even your most famous rap stars put out one song and go famous because of it.
Speaker: They go through four or five albums.
Speaker: You probably didn't hear them, but I promise you go through about a good amount of time before you- Hundreds and hundreds of hours.
Speaker: Yeah, you try this over and over again until you get it perfect.
Speaker: And so that's why, like I said, when you guys got ahold of me and wanted to do this, I was just very, very joyed because I was like, it's just a different angle.
Speaker: It's just an angle.
Speaker: And I got Charlie CB Business for episode four and he's a crip out of Tulsa.
Speaker: And then I think we're going to try and get a cop for episode five.
Speaker: So like go from like a crip to a cop and get both their perspectives.
Speaker: I don't know about that yet.
Speaker: But then like I said, I got y'all for the very beginning.
Speaker: And I definitely want to have y'all back when you guys win.
Speaker: Definitely.
Speaker: When you guys win.
Speaker: I was thinking about, you know, that would be lit.
Speaker: Like once I grabbed the nomination, we should talk about doing something.
Speaker: Bring you to Jeff City.
Speaker: Yeah, I mean, hey, I mean, honestly, I would load all this equipment up and we could do a podcast up there.
Speaker: That would be it.
Speaker: Where you guys could literally get right off from, you know, winning.
Speaker: Listen, Lieutenant Governor, other than presiding over the Senate, he's kind of like open and conducive.
Speaker: Because one of the things I want to do with my spare time,
Speaker: I just think the people.
Speaker: I think people in general.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Holly Rader is not going to go into Eastside St.
Speaker: Louis.
Speaker: Neither is Lincoln Howell.
Speaker: He's not going to go into St.
Speaker: Louis.
Speaker: So Kansas City.
Speaker: Not in the dangerous parts.
Speaker: They're not going to go into the dangerous parts.
Speaker: Holly Rader is not going to even go into it.
Speaker: She'll go and meet up with maybe the mayor for about 10 minutes, if that.
Speaker: Are you guys going to do something about the murder rate?
Speaker: Are you guys going to be able to try and put your hand in on something in the murder rate for St.
Speaker: Louis?
Speaker: Because I noticed that we're like, what are we, number one ranking right now?
Speaker: Or are we number two?
Speaker: Well, even Springfield.
Speaker: Springfield is very dangerous.
Speaker: Violent.
Speaker: Violent.
Speaker: And it's crazy.
Speaker: It's downtown.
Speaker: It's crazy.
Speaker: It's downtown.
Speaker: It's like, what is your government people in your city?
Speaker: I'm going downtown to have a Feed Missouri initiative pretty soon, so this ought to be interesting.
Speaker: yeah no i mean the people downtown are nice and i think people in the outskirts of every i feel like most of the people that you meet in missouri whether they're from missouri or not missouri as long as you've been in missouri for more than a year i promise that person's probably gonna be pretty chill and they're gonna they're gonna want to just you know they're gonna want to get to know you a lot of the people here are real people it's not like like i said not trying to diss anybody from other cities or states but like
Speaker: I met, you know, people from California who lived out there for a long time and like their mindset will even be different from someone who like lived in New York or, you know, Brooklyn or Houston or Dallas or, you know, if you go up and you go to Chicago or, you know, and I've talked to people from all those cities and I've noticed that even from all those cities and all those states,
Speaker: the people here actually do like I can run into a random person and you will get hospitality.
Speaker: You will get, you will get genuine care from someone who does not know you.
Speaker: And that's, I mean, in other States, I just, I've never got that type of compassion before.
Speaker: And I mean, don't get me wrong.
Speaker: You guys like, I lived in Texas for over five years and I mean, the people down there were nice too, you know, and it's, and it's just different styles, but Missouri,
Speaker: Missouri is a good state and I'm not from here but I like it here.
Speaker: I don't think bro and I would have the same type of hospitality that you and my mom would have.
Speaker: But definitely I agree Missouri is a very overall hospitable state.
Speaker: Yeah I'm saying you can in a general
Speaker: It's gotten on the wrong track.
Speaker: Oh, yeah.
Speaker: It's gotten on the wrong track, and you have to look at the leaders.
Speaker: That's in a politic way, and I feel like we've gotten the wrong track.
Speaker: You have to look at the leaders, but I think Missouri is salvageable.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I'm not so sure about some of our other states, but I think Missouri is salvageable, and it's worth it to work hard.
Speaker: Mm-hmm.
Speaker: that's i want to tell you my listeners you know um i feel like you know you gotta um you guys can see it you guys can see that they're real people you guys can see that they you know they they've discussed all their issues they've told you you know the hot button topics the things that are gonna you know the things that matter the things that don't matter
Speaker: And to let everybody, you know, all my listeners know you guys all matter and that they think that you matter.
Speaker: You know, Phillip Catrone and Janice Catrone care about you and they care about what you guys are trying to do in this state.
Speaker: And they want to, I think they want to see us succeed, guys.
Speaker: That's just my honest opinion.
Speaker: And I don't want people to get worried about maybe, well, it's a mom and son team, you know.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Look at Jay Ashcroft.
Speaker: Just so you guys know, his father was the former governor.
Speaker: He's wanting to be the governor because his dad was.
Speaker: So if you're going to vote for Jay Ashcroft, you're going to vote for a family team anyways.
Speaker: Vote for a family team that actually cares about you versus one that just wants to be the John Casey Adams of Missouri.
Speaker: Just money, money, money.
Speaker: And it's like another thing.
Speaker: When you look at Bush and everything, his father was president, and then he became president.
Speaker: So what's the difference?
Speaker: What's the problem?
Speaker: What's Ashcroft's real motive to be governor?
Speaker: Are you wanting to be governor because your dad was?
Speaker: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker: Really what it was.
Speaker: So if that's the case, leave us alone and pick the family that actually has a vested interest.
Speaker: If you're going to pick a family, pick this one.
Speaker: I would definitely say go out and vote.
Speaker: And without any baggage.
Speaker: Without baggage.
Speaker: I don't have any baggage.
Speaker: What did John Ashcroft pass when he was governor?
Speaker: Young folks, don't, don't, don't.
Speaker: and then and that's another thing too is is they give you false hopes so uh like politicians i've noticed this with i mean i've sat down with other politicians you guys aren't politicians but i in my head i keep thinking politician because you guys are what you guys are going for but um i've talked to other politicians you know i've talked to mike parsons i've talked to different ones and it's weird like they kind of like seem very like they're in a they're in this bubble of their own thing
Speaker: So, like, you can't, it's like a handshake, and then they're, like, it's, they're not actually getting to know the real person.
Speaker: Well, they give the worst handshakes ever.
Speaker: But a nurse isn't going to give a false hope.
Speaker: Limp-rested and everything.
Speaker: Yeah, kind of like a dead fish.
Speaker: Go shake Jay Astro's hand.
Speaker: I did that one time.
Speaker: Jay, how are you?
Speaker: A nurse is not going to give a false hope.
Speaker: I won't give a false hope.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: I won't do that to any of my patients or their families.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And you won't do that to Missouri.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No.
Speaker: That's a lie.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: That's a lie.
Speaker: How can I look you in the eye and say, one of them, Igle, he said he didn't think there should be any taxes in Missouri.
Speaker: No taxes.
Speaker: That makes no sense.
Speaker: That's a great thing.
Speaker: And he called out a number of states that didn't have taxes such as Florida.
Speaker: But that's fine.
Speaker: Florida has Disney World.
Speaker: Florida has a lot of tourism.
Speaker: Florida has beaches.
Speaker: Venues.
Speaker: All around.
Speaker: Everything that you ever wanted.
Speaker: And there's a lot of money that's coming into Florida that can be tapped.
Speaker: Lots of...
Speaker: funds that can be tapped.
Speaker: Missouri doesn't have, we don't have beaches here.
Speaker: Like we're not on the coast.
Speaker: No, you're completely right though.
Speaker: We don't have.
Speaker: Actually, a matter of fact, if you noticed, if you've noticed, they've actually a lot of the businesses around here since COVID to now,
Speaker: have died off.
Speaker: If you're a local business owner, I've noticed that a lot of them are dying off.
Speaker: They're either selling their business or they're shutting it down.
Speaker: And that's sad.
Speaker: That's a family business.
Speaker: Where was the state?
Speaker: Yeah, they've probably been there for 30 years, 45 years.
Speaker: That's wrong.
Speaker: Kehoe launched a stupid program called Buy Missouri program.
Speaker: Okay, that's fine, but what did you do with it?
Speaker: Was it just a program to look good?
Speaker: Did you actually do it?
Speaker: Because if your Buy Missouri program really meant anything, it would actually make a difference.
Speaker: Where's the results?
Speaker: Where's the results?
Speaker: They can't show you none either.
Speaker: That's just facts.
Speaker: That's why you have to be evaluating the problems.
Speaker: You identify the problem, you create a plan, you put the plan into, it's called the nursing process.
Speaker: Nurses will know this.
Speaker: You put the plan into action,
Speaker: and then you go back and you evaluate it right that's missing we're not even looking at evaluate is it working that's it yeah it's not working it's just costing more and more and more and more money and that's another thing my i'm i'm getting married in may i'm getting married on may 4th oh really yes that is awesome and my fiancee
Speaker: grew up on a hog farm in Northern Iowa.
Speaker: His father had 2,500 head hogs.
Speaker: That's where pork belongs.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: It doesn't belong in budgets.
Speaker: Yeah, no, you're right.
Speaker: It doesn't belong in budgets.
Speaker: State roasted them out.
Speaker: His father would sell a hog at 150 pounds.
Speaker: And he said growing up, his dad, he was the superintendent of schools.
Speaker: And he said his dad could eye any hog and tell if it was four or five pounds under or that much over.
Speaker: And he knew exactly what 150 pounds would look like.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And that's when he sold them.
Speaker: I go down to Zanz and eye hogs too.
Speaker: And that's where pork belongs.
Speaker: And why is it in budgets?
Speaker: That's just wrong.
Speaker: So you get out of budgets and you focus on what you need to focus on.
Speaker: And the funds will be there if you stop it.
Speaker: Yeah, and that's a lot of the things if you notice like some of the bills they put into act that you know In small writing it actually has the way it's supposed to be 8% 10% 24% is goes right back into their money.
Speaker: Yeah, no, and it's not and is that right?
Speaker: No, not when not when you got teachers who are teaching a classroom of 20 plus students a day and they're not even being able to you know some of I literally remember two of my teachers telling me in high school
Speaker: Tonight, I'm not going to have anything for dinner tonight because I like the check that I got.
Speaker: She actually spent her money to get.
Speaker: I was in a special ed class because of my behavior and the teacher that ran that she actually had put all of her money into the kids.
Speaker: And she was going to go hungry that night.
Speaker: And I remember thinking to myself, I'm going to try to do something.
Speaker: Try to do something.
Speaker: And I never did.
Speaker: Because I was a kid.
Speaker: I didn't have a car.
Speaker: You are now.
Speaker: Yeah, I haven't.
Speaker: You are now.
Speaker: Yeah, I know I have an opportunity now.
Speaker: But it's a real thing that I think about, though.
Speaker: I think back to the moments like that where my teacher was keeping it real with me when she's supposed to be the teacher.
Speaker: She's not supposed to have it.
Speaker: In my head, your teacher shouldn't have any issues.
Speaker: Your teacher should be completely good to where they're there for education.
Speaker: They're there to teach your kid how to.
Speaker: But then they show up, and a lot of them are just, you know, the money's not right, or the time's not right, or they don't have the patience.
Speaker: And so then you have a whole school system of broken teachers.
Speaker: You have the teachers.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And also the other part that I don't like about the school system is that they're trying to make factory workers.
Speaker: The guy who actually invented schools, his whole purpose of making schools from the very beginning was...
Speaker: to make workers of America.
Speaker: That was his whole point of making a first through 12th grade system was that by the time that you hit 12th grade, you're, and if you, you know, you complete, that's why the high school diploma is such a big, important deal is because it shows that you're able to stick it out.
Speaker: And, but in my head,
Speaker: It's like I said, I just see, I seen through it at a very young age at 16, you know, 17, I was already running and I was like, I don't got like, what's the purpose?
Speaker: What's the purpose?
Speaker: And then I really like, and I wish I would have graduated.
Speaker: You know, I disappointed my mom when I didn't graduate.
Speaker: I disappointed my family when I didn't graduate.
Speaker: But at the same time of saying that, like,
Speaker: it that's not the only thing that matters and but like i said i just feel like a lot of that comes down to it's a system that was set up a long long time ago it's like uh we don't use fridges from 1950s no more do we we don't use tvs from 1950s yeah we don't use you know what i'm saying you don't use you don't use the tv from 1950 no more we upgraded you have a you have a 65 inch lcd in your living room now you know if that was the case then how come we don't you know drive a model t and
Speaker: I still got rabbit ears in my trap door.
Speaker: What you mean?
Speaker: Yeah, I just.
Speaker: Shout out to Kansas City.
Speaker: I already know you got them rabbit ears over there.
Speaker: We love you too.
Speaker: Yeah, I just wanted, you know, at a higher level, you have to be able to notice where it's this thing works and that thing doesn't.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: You know, so I just.
Speaker: And what works for one person.
Speaker: Might not work for another person.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And that's another thing about the school system is that they set it up to where you're supposed to, like I said, it's, it was set up so that they could factory your kids, factory your kids to be a certain, that's why, I mean, if you meet homeschooled kids, they will be like weirdly genuine in a way that like,
Speaker: You would never- We're joked.
Speaker: People laugh at home school kids.
Speaker: They go, oh, you must be homeschooled.
Speaker: Yeah, we're smarter.
Speaker: Yeah, I was about to say, we're smarter than us.
Speaker: The only part that, you know, and that's, like I said, I just don't think that, I don't think that that's what the school system should be there for.
Speaker: I don't think it's to make factory workers.
Speaker: I don't think that the school system should be there to make a guy who can press a button and stand there for 12 hours.
Speaker: sit there on a line you know this is the reason why i realized it i realized it at 16 17 years old and i left i remember i was walking up the stairs into the joplin high school and i got up about halfway up the stairs and i went why am i doing this it was like early early in the morning i was tired didn't want to really be there but i was like i remember walking i got like halfway up the stairs and i had a i just bought my ford taurus i had a white ford taurus i remember i got halfway up the stairs and i went
Speaker: nah, I'm going to go home.
Speaker: I think I'm going to go work on my music.
Speaker: I'm going to do something different today.
Speaker: I don't want to do this.
Speaker: And I remember walking down the stairs.
Speaker: I went and got in my car and drove off.
Speaker: And I never went back.
Speaker: I went back like two years later to try and go back to high school because I was like, I started thinking about it.
Speaker: And I'm like, well, I could use a high school diploma.
Speaker: And then I was like,
Speaker: Now that I'm 25 and I've went through those experiences to now and I still don't have a high school diploma, in my opinion, I don't think a high school diploma matters unless you're trying to get a job where that's going to be the case.
Speaker: There's lots of jobs out there where all you have to do is just go.
Speaker: Yeah, there's a lot of jobs out there that you can go get.
Speaker: And that's another thing, too, is the youth nowadays is I want to play on my phone.
Speaker: I don't want to go outside.
Speaker: You know, a lot of, you know, this is sad.
Speaker: That's sad to me because when I was a kid, you know, we didn't have the option of a cell phone.
Speaker: It was go play with the rock.
Speaker: Go outside for real.
Speaker: Hey, go play tag.
Speaker: Find a football.
Speaker: Try and do something.
Speaker: Kids today have very little imagination.
Speaker: And children are...
Speaker: naturally imaginative.
Speaker: It should be.
Speaker: They're supposed to be the dreamers.
Speaker: They're supposed to be the dreamers.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: Their natural curiosity kicks in.
Speaker: And it does when they're crawling.
Speaker: But when that's replaced by this and there's constant infeeding into that brain, it's not going to develop.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And that's, you don't learn anything either.
Speaker: No, I don't learn right from wrongs.
Speaker: You don't learn.
Speaker: You're good.
Speaker: Oh, sorry.
Speaker: I was going to say our founding fathers, they had dreams and they made it happen.
Speaker: You know, like they didn't just, you know, wake up one day and just said, oh, okay, whatever.
Speaker: No, they actually woke up and said, I want to change.
Speaker: I want to change this.
Speaker: I want to make, you know, this country greater and better because the place I was at wasn't that good and everything.
Speaker: And that's what it was, you know?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: it's true yeah and also and like you like you guys said you guys have already pointed out you know it's a broken system it's a broken system and like i really do feel confident in y'all like like i said even being in front of y'all right now i can tell that you guys are like very uh you guys are confident and that makes me feel confident that you guys are actually going to be the ones to you know make something change in uh on a higher level not just like i said at our level like what because you matter
Speaker: yeah and yeah and that's another thing our vote does matter our our voice does matter and also like now more than ever because now i got my own platform now i got my own stuff like i don't there's no middleman there's no talking i do what i want when i want to do it and we're gonna start running it like that and that's how i'm gonna that's how i continued to live for the past two years i'm if i want something i'm driving towards it and i'm gonna get it and it don't matter what it is and so um
Speaker: And look how proud you are of yourself when you do that.
Speaker: Yeah, I know.
Speaker: I do, I do.
Speaker: That's a great feeling of accomplishment.
Speaker: I know, it does feel good, though, because like I said.
Speaker: It feels good.
Speaker: Especially when you go back, you know, a year and a half ago, two years ago, I was, for six to eight months, I was, you know, on, I was on drugs and I was doing not too well.
Speaker: I was living in Section 8 housing.
Speaker: with a female that I'd ran into and I was getting to the same sort of situations where, I mean, she had a, she already had, um, a baby daddy with two babies and he was gone, like, uh, passed away.
Speaker: And so I was, you know, trying to take on that role of being that, you know, that dad, but I, I was also so broken myself.
Speaker: You can't help, you can't help nobody if you, if you can't help yourself.
Speaker: And so I'm like, I'm, I was,
Speaker: I was broken and I was on meth and I was at my lowest.
Speaker: I was at my lowest and I went, you know what?
Speaker: This is all stupid.
Speaker: This is all, what am I doing?
Speaker: I remember.
Speaker: And I remember my stepbrother, he showed up and he's like, bro, why don't you just come out here?
Speaker: We'll get you sober and we'll get things right.
Speaker: Hey, the...
Speaker: best decision i ever made in my life was leaving that night and going out to that trailer and i stayed there for two weeks got sober off meth and i haven't touched it since and so i wow that's amazing yeah yeah i just i realized that it's the people that you surround yourself with it's kind of like uh you know rice if you uh you get a bag of rice and you cuss into one bag and then you get another bag of rice and you say good things to the rice
Speaker: you will notice it's a real thing.
Speaker: The rice will stay, the rice that you say, hey, I love you, you're a good rice, blah, blah, blah, will stay fresh and clean and white.
Speaker: The rice that you're cussing into or that you're saying bad things to will start to mold.
Speaker: And that right there proves to you that your words have vibrations that can affect the whole world around you.
Speaker: And so that's why I gave you that example because I just- Interesting, the rice.
Speaker: It's a real thing.
Speaker: You can get a jar.
Speaker: I mean, if you want to, my viewers at home, you can literally go get two jars, get white rice, and like I said, cuss into one and talk good into the other.
Speaker: Because this is what my cousin does for her kids.
Speaker: It's teaching them that it's a thing.
Speaker: It's a lesson.
Speaker: It's a tool.
Speaker: She's using this for her kids.
Speaker: She'll let them come home from school and they get five minutes to, they can say whatever they want to the bad bull and they can say whatever they want to the good bull.
Speaker: And this is showing them that their words can impact how they move in life.
Speaker: Like, you know, you're, if your power, if you're positive and you're, if you're positive and you're also like, you know, yourself, a lot of people would know you, you will, you will be able to push through your push, persevere through any of it.
Speaker: It doesn't matter where you're at, whether you're at the lowest point, the scumbags at the bottom of the earth, or whether you're at the very top with, you know, the Kings it's, it's about, um, just knowing that you got the stature, you have,
Speaker: I have the pride.
Speaker: I know who I am.
Speaker: It doesn't matter.
Speaker: No amount of money, no amount of property, no amount of this or that can stop what I have inside.
Speaker: It's my heart.
Speaker: It's my brain.
Speaker: My mom and dad gave it to me, but it's the most powerful things that I was ever blessed with.
Speaker: And yeah, you're right.
Speaker: And that's what I was trying to say for all the Missourians and stuff.
Speaker: You know, it's a lot of...
Speaker: these people actually care these people actually care janice and philip care and um go out and i just want to say that and i and i also want to say you know because i know that there's going to be people who are hating um and i'm just gonna say this keep hating
Speaker: And we love you.
Speaker: We love you.
Speaker: Just keep hating.
Speaker: We love you guys, too.
Speaker: We love you guys, too.
Speaker: Yeah, we love it.
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: Tune in.
Speaker: Tune in all the haters.
Speaker: I love you guys.
Speaker: You know what?
Speaker: Because that's how I feel.
Speaker: But, okay, so are you guys, is there anything that y'all want to talk about?
Speaker: Is there anything that y'all have on your mind that you want to say?
Speaker: I'm good.
Speaker: I'm pretty good.
Speaker: I just want to say thank you so very much.
Speaker: Yeah, you guys can say a bye outro, you know?
Speaker: I really, really appreciate it.
Speaker: And I'll just say this, you know,
Speaker: We're at the cusp of making a massive change in our state.
Speaker: We have no incumbents in office.
Speaker: It's all new folks.
Speaker: We're going to have a new governor.
Speaker: We're going to have a new lieutenant governor.
Speaker: Janice Cattrone and Phillip Cattrone.
Speaker: That's who the governor and lieutenant governor are going to be.
Speaker: We have a chance, guys, to decide for ourselves how we want our lives to be and not surrender our voice and our vote to a demographic of people that could care less about.
Speaker: how you feel the day after the election.
Speaker: The day after they didn't talk to you before, they won't talk to you.
Speaker: Talk to you after.
Speaker: Yep.
Speaker: They just make appearances.
Speaker: Let's go make a real change.
Speaker: When we get in, we're going to pass a stimulus check only for Missourians.
Speaker: Only for Missourians.
Speaker: There will be a stimmy because the state has the money.
Speaker: There's no reason to be spending money.
Speaker: hundreds of thousands of dollars well you know that you know what they're spending the money on right i mean i could tell you guys they're they're spending the the money on uh new rolls royces mansions um personal escort yeah yeah all of it cocaine cocaine i noticed a lot of the politicians up there in jeff city are
Speaker: My mom actually works for the state of Missouri.
Speaker: She's a job coordinator.
Speaker: So she goes around from... She tries to get people jobs.
Speaker: She literally goes from... She goes all around Missouri.
Speaker: She works for the state of Missouri as, like I said, but she's like the head.
Speaker: But she basically... She goes to these places, sets up events, tries to get people to get jobs in this city.
Speaker: She'll go to the next city and they do the same thing.
Speaker: But...
Speaker: She cares about Missouri.
Speaker: And I know that once she watches this interview, she's going to probably, you know, she'll want to put something behind it just because she I know that she'll she wants real people, too.
Speaker: I know that she she goes to she goes to Chambers of Commerce meeting.
Speaker: She goes to all that stuff.
Speaker: She's at your city hall meeting.
Speaker: She's my mom.
Speaker: My mom was very smart and she's very.
Speaker: uh intelligent in the way that she moves and so i know that she like i said she knows a lot all about all of them she's been in all the court houses she knows all the court people she knows all the people you know she she knows people from the top to the bottom and uh so that's what makes me feel better to know that i'm in front of people who are going to actually make a difference for missouri because like i said for someone like my mom who has you know for probably
Speaker: 25 30 years now she's been busting her ass for missouri she's been trying to do something yes yeah she's she's seen guys get out of prison have to stay at a halfway house have no job and no one will hire them because their their charge is too big they can't you know what i'm saying and then she's the one that's got to coordinate you know getting them a bike to be able to get to work making sure that they got you know clothes on their back you know right
Speaker: she would do all that sort of stuff like when she first started before she got to the position that she's at now.
Speaker: Like now she's kind of like a traveling, she sets up job events.
Speaker: Yeah, yeah.
Speaker: But she sees where the system is broken and she sees how you can keep that person
Speaker: from making good decisions because the system's geared that way.
Speaker: And so they re-offend and they never, they never get it on top of that.
Speaker: Well, and that's why she would try to like, as soon as they got out of prison, she would be like the first ones there to say, hey, are you actually wanting to get your life together?
Speaker: I know that you've been sitting down for five plus years.
Speaker: or whatever, you know, and she's, she's able to go, Hey, you know, it's not over just cause, just cause you got this or this or this does not mean that you're a bad person.
Speaker: And it doesn't mean that they're not going to say no to you.
Speaker: It's about being your true self and knowing right from wrong and then being able to move forward and be able to do the right things moving forward.
Speaker: And so I, you know, I don't know.
Speaker: She's got a big heart.
Speaker: And so she gave it to me.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Thank you.
Speaker: Thank you for having us.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I appreciate you guys.

Speaker: President Trump, I want to say, Mr. President, we need you back in the White House more than ever.
Speaker: I understand that you're sitting here and you could have lived a great life, but you decided to look at Missouri, look at the United States, and you said, I care about America.
Speaker: And for that, we thank you.
Speaker: And we also want to look at this and say, Mr. President,
Speaker: We stand behind you my mom and I both running for office.
Speaker: We both endorse you But we we look at when you get in you know, we're going to do the best we can not only as Republicans but as Americans this isn't even a Republican and Democrat thing at this point now my worker reading to
Speaker: so quickly.
Speaker: Right.

Speaker: We need to have a party of America.

Speaker: Right.
Speaker: If we have a party of America, then we're going to have an America actually truly
Speaker: That's an actual America.
Speaker: Care about each other.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: And then we'll have a, then we'll, then we'll.
Speaker: We could possibly lose the selfishness of everybody around us.
Speaker: That's right.
Speaker: You know, we don't need a, we don't need a walking room as the president.
Speaker: We need someone that knows what's going on.
Speaker: Not a robot.
Speaker: I don't want a robot.
Speaker: Big issue.
Speaker: Hard issue.
Speaker: Mr. President, if you're looking for a vice president, I think I found your running mate just saying.
Speaker: I promise you, if you ever have to worry about certifying an election, you don't have a Tim Scott over here, okay?
Speaker: You don't have a Tim Scott.
Speaker: They don't know how feisty I can be.
Speaker: You've got someone here.
Speaker: They don't know how feisty I can be.
Speaker: I could tell that, I mean, you're a fighter.
Speaker: I am a fighter.
Speaker: I can tell you've been a lot of places and you've done a lot of things and you've made a lot of things happen.
Speaker: I personally think my mom would make a great vice president.
Speaker: I think, to be honest with you, I think you'd make a great president.
Speaker: I think.
Speaker: The first female president.
Speaker: I mean, I feel like that's my real honest opinion.
Speaker: That is if you went and dumped your own money behind yourself and you guys went and campaign pushed right for you to be a president, I guarantee money you could be our first female president.
Speaker: That's my honest opinion.
Speaker: Listeners, let's see if we can't just see if you like what my mom had to say.
Speaker: If you like it.
Speaker: Vote for her to be the next governor of the state of Missouri.
Speaker: If you really like what she had to say and think she can do a better job up in Washington, hey, tag President Trump at real Donald Trump on X.
Speaker: And go say, hey, Mr. President, I think we've got your female candidate for vice president.
Speaker: You know, I've been seeing all these things online that say he needs to pick a black candidate or a female candidate or something like that.
Speaker: The president has the idea that he needs to pick the person that cares about the country.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: That's the reason why we have a...
Speaker: Well, and that's also the other thing about it is the other guy's just as important.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: Whoever you're going with is also just as important.
Speaker: And I personally believe, take mom equation out.
Speaker: The president needs a vice president that is going to care about the country.
Speaker: Someone that's also not on the inside.
Speaker: I get there's all the news wants to speculate about the cool part is that you've already been caring for people.
Speaker: You've already been caring for people.
Speaker: This is what she does here anyways.
Speaker: President Trump, this is what she does for a living.
Speaker: Yeah, from Haiti to here.
Speaker: So Haiti to here.
Speaker: She was born to be vice president.
Speaker: See, that's what I'm saying.
Speaker: And that's.
Speaker: That's why I personally am endorsing.
Speaker: I will say, as your next 49th lieutenant governor, I'm endorsing my mother for governor of this state, and someday I'll endorse her to be the president of this state.
Speaker: Because the same values that she's taught me, that's what she's going to do on this state.
Speaker: And I can promise you one big thing.
Speaker: You will be taken care of.
Speaker: You will have a candidate that will care for you.
Speaker: I will fight.
Speaker: Not just care for you once every four years like these other guys.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Don't do that.
Speaker: And also, like I said, just someone who's not so involved in what they got, like their agendas, their mass agendas up there in the pocket, like the pocket picketing that goes on basically where it's,
Speaker: you know i i shove money in your pocket you say what i want you to say and i just like that i know that you guys got your own and i know it's kind of like the donald trump situation it's like he's got his own so i know why wouldn't he do something that's going to benefit well just i was saying is you my agenda is outside the walls of here
Speaker: Awesome.
Speaker: Everybody.
Speaker: Everybody in our state.
Speaker: I get you.
Speaker: That's awesome.
