1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:04,639 The reason I stopped hating white people was because I was saying these things and 2 00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:06,759 white people wore a Graham'm like, well, why do you agree with that? 3 00:00:06,839 --> 00:00:15,080 You're not supposed to be agree with that. Welcome to another deep dive 4 00:00:15,199 --> 00:00:18,559 edition of the Chicks on the Right podcast. We have a very special guest 5 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,359 with us today and that is King Randall, who is a marine vet who 6 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:28,079 saw a need for change in his own community of Albany, Georgia, and 7 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,719 he decided to set up a school for troubled youth all on your own, 8 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,280 which is absolutely extraordinary and for people who might be new to your story, 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,759 if you wouldn't mind just kind of giving us a walkthrough of the timeline of 10 00:00:41,759 --> 00:00:45,320 what got you started and where things are today. Sure well, my name 11 00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,759 is King Randall again. I'm the founder of the Axle Boys program and the 12 00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:53,280 Life Preparatory School. The program started out of my house back in twenty nineteen. 13 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,520 I started teaching kids how to work on cars, work on houses such 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,880 as changing oil and changing breaks, ceiling sheet rock, you name it, 15 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,640 even growing their own food, cooking. We did a plethora of these things 16 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,560 while I was growing up myself. I was nineteen when I started it. 17 00:01:10,239 --> 00:01:12,000 So I started, you know, working with these kids, and during a 18 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,439 couple of summer camps that I was doing with them, I realized that the 19 00:01:15,439 --> 00:01:19,599 students didn't know how to read. That was a huge issue for me reading 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,439 and writing, and I was just like, well, this is probably why 21 00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:26,079 you guys are getting in trouble and things like that, because you guys can't 22 00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:27,920 read and write. I would probably be getting in trouble at schools. I 23 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,760 can't do my work because I can't read and write. So I understand. 24 00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:34,680 But at that time, I told those students I was going to start a 25 00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:36,480 school one day. I didn't know how I was gonna do it, or 26 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,359 we're in I was gonna do it, but we're gonna make something happen. 27 00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,319 So at that time, you know, twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, I 28 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:48,719 started a book club for kids in twenty twenty. As soon as I started 29 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,959 that, a couple weeks in everything shut down as far as COVID, so 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,519 I wasn't able to do the book club. And I had parents, you 31 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,959 know, still asking could I do something for the kids, and I was 32 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,280 just like, I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing. I had 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,920 my own so at the time, my wife at the time, you know, 34 00:02:02,959 --> 00:02:06,879 I'm just like, okay, yeah, I don't know I'm supposed to 35 00:02:06,879 --> 00:02:08,439 do anything. I don't know what's going on with the COVID situation, and 36 00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:12,400 you know, everybody's kind of up in the air what's happening. So but 37 00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:14,199 I did tell the parents, you know, at that time, that I 38 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,319 could do something if the kids were to come live in my house. So 39 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,439 I got about three bunk beds. I put them in my living room. 40 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,360 We made it happen. So I got six six set, no it was 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:28,479 seven kids. Actually got seven of them at my house for the entire summers 42 00:02:28,479 --> 00:02:30,639 without twenty We went to farms, we worked, We traveled all over the 43 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,400 country. That's when we discovered, like COVID was just like nothing, to 44 00:02:35,479 --> 00:02:38,039 be honest, right, Like, yeah, we were traveling everywhere. We 45 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,599 traveled all over the country for twenty bucks a ticket. We were in Chicago, 46 00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,719 we were in Cincinnati, we were in Miami. Like me and the 47 00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:49,840 students were traveling, we were learning, we were doing stuff, you know, 48 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,639 and these kids there's this was the first time ever traveling on the airplane, 49 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,599 you know, I mean it was great. We had a great time. 50 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,000 We were working on a farm every day and everything was normal for us. 51 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,879 We lived a normal lit We were out fixing people's houses and fixing on 52 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,280 cards and painting. That's what we were doing while COVID was happening, and 53 00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:09,240 we took advantage of that because while everybody's at home not working, they're just 54 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,680 looking at everything that's broken in their house. So of course they're just you 55 00:03:13,719 --> 00:03:15,159 know, asking people to come fix stuff, and that's what we were there 56 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:22,840 to do. After that, we went viral on social media once on Twitter, 57 00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:24,919 and then we got invited to the White House to see President Trump. 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,719 We went there, we met him, had a great time there, and 59 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:36,360 then we left. Twenty twenty one was when I first, you know, 60 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:40,759 started reaching out to our local school system about opening up a school and purchasing 61 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:46,120 one of their older buildings they had up for demolition. We tried to purchase 62 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,919 that from them, you know, probably through a nine month ten month process 63 00:03:49,919 --> 00:03:53,360 of trying to buy the school from them. That deal felled through because we 64 00:03:53,400 --> 00:04:00,080 got a contract back from them stating that the purchase sell agreement should contain usage 65 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,240 restriction that we could not operate a private or a charter school out of there. 66 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,479 Unless they taught the core curriculum, and I you know, told them 67 00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:13,000 that we were not going to do that, and that blew up. We 68 00:04:13,039 --> 00:04:15,120 went on Fox about it, et cetera. It was a bit messy. 69 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,399 It was very, very messy, and we battled through that. We ended 70 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:25,959 up purchasing three smaller buildings, one of which I'm in now, and then 71 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 we ended up purchasing our bigger school building, which is forty one thousand square 72 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,959 feet that we are not currently in at this moment. We opened the school 73 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:39,160 back in twenty twenty two. Once we got into the school building, we 74 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,560 had a whole bunch of fire marshals and inspectors harassing us all the time, 75 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,639 coming to knock on the doors, trying to come look inside the school, 76 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:54,959 et cetera. But what they did originally was they befriended me originally as if 77 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,199 they were trying to help. So they were like, okay, you know, 78 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,839 these are some things that you guys could do to help you guys get 79 00:05:00,879 --> 00:05:02,000 in order. So it was like, you know, let me come look 80 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,399 at this and that. So they come in looking at stuff and you know, 81 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:06,519 okay, you can do this and that you can try and do this 82 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,600 and that you know, so we can help you guys like that. And 83 00:05:09,639 --> 00:05:12,240 then then one day he was like, hey, I'm gonna, you know, 84 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:13,920 bring some me and some of the guys out. I was just gonna 85 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,079 see what we can help you guys with. And he brought like fifteen marshals 86 00:05:17,079 --> 00:05:23,360 ins gall a briefcase, cameras and everything, and and he was like, 87 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:25,360 okay, well we're gonna go get together and we're gonna see what we can 88 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:26,959 do the help, you know, and stuff like that. The next day 89 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,439 we get a letter from Sure you know what I'm saying, we can't be 90 00:05:29,519 --> 00:05:34,720 in the building. Oh my god, in the world. Ye yep, 91 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:40,199 So that's what happened. So we had to leave the facility, and they 92 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,720 came after a storm happened too. We had a storm that did some damages 93 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,560 to the facility. But the building is not inoperable at all. But of 94 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,439 course, when they're trying to nit pick at you, they're gonna find a 95 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,720 little single thing because but for the most part, even all of our homes 96 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,399 are not up the cold. Being for real, you know, if you 97 00:05:55,439 --> 00:05:57,920 want to find something not up the cold, they're going to find it. 98 00:05:58,639 --> 00:06:00,759 So that's why they have all those smallel the rules you know, and laws 99 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,079 because just in case they need to shut you down. Okay, oh well 100 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:08,120 this piece of plastic isn't over this piece of plastic, So time to go. 101 00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:10,560 You know, you guys got to go. But did you guys do 102 00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,439 a lot of the work yourself on the actual school. So you guys did 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,360 most of it yourself. Reminds we did, we did. I raised money 104 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,920 the summer of twenty twenty two. I stayed on top of the roof of 105 00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:27,360 the school raising money before the school, and we had so many volunteers come 106 00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,639 come in from all over the country to come and help us with the school. 107 00:06:30,519 --> 00:06:33,279 So we did, but we did really good with it. So we 108 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,920 ended up having to leave there. And the amount of repairs and stuff that 109 00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,360 they want us to do, I mean we're looking at like one two million 110 00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:45,360 dollars worth of stuff. Yes, it's it's and the building is older, 111 00:06:45,439 --> 00:06:47,120 like I actually went to pre k in this building, so it's older. 112 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:53,560 So when where we are where we live, like once you get a permit 113 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,720 to be in a building, they never come inspect you ever again. So 114 00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:01,639 the previous owners were an old church, so they were always there and nobody 115 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,959 ever came to inspect them again. So of course now that we're in there, 116 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000 we have to get everything up to twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four 117 00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:15,759 standards back from nineteen you know, whenever when they had it. Yeah, 118 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,360 so, but it was a lot. But anyway, we're we have a 119 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:23,480 plan to you know, get that money raised this summer. But yeah, 120 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:26,399 back to the timeline. We opened that up twenty twenty two, we ended 121 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,680 up having to leave there, and so right now we're working. We're doing 122 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,079 school all our out of our office building. So we've been doing that since 123 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:38,759 last twenty twenty two December, I think. So we're we're here, but 124 00:07:38,879 --> 00:07:42,600 we have a plan this summer to raise the money to get into our school 125 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,480 building. I have a crazy fundraiser idea that I'll be doing. I'll actually 126 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,279 be walking from my hometown all the way to Atlanta, Georgia. This will 127 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:54,160 be about a two hundred mile walk. It was gonna take me about ten 128 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,279 or eleven days to complete this this venture. I haven't released any details about 129 00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,839 it yet, but it's it's in the works already. We'll have a route 130 00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:05,000 planned out, We'll have it where people can come meet me at different stops. 131 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,439 I'll be making and we're gonna try and you know, make a big 132 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:11,800 fundraiser out of it, try to get the odds of the nation, you 133 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,040 know, on what we're trying to do, because I haven't seen a fund 134 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,439 raiser thing like that in a very very long time. So I wonder if 135 00:08:16,399 --> 00:08:20,360 you like people walking with you, like Forrest Gump, they're gonna rit like 136 00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:26,839 following you on your big walk. Were playing that for the last leg of 137 00:08:26,879 --> 00:08:30,120 the walk, not during the walk itself because we will be on a highway. 138 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,399 It was just safety purposes. We'll have like a truck, two trucks 139 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:35,240 and you know, safety measures and everything. But I don't want to, 140 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,960 you know, cause anybody else to get hurt. I mean, we may 141 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,399 like let a couple of news crews or something like that, just depend on 142 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440 what it is, case by case, but definitely not like Jim Pop. 143 00:08:43,519 --> 00:08:46,960 But Jim Pop will be able to join the last leg of the walk in 144 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,600 Atlanta. I'll be walking to the Battery, their truest part, so that'll 145 00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:56,279 be fun. And then we'll have our fundraiser at gala two days later on 146 00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,759 my birthday July twenty six, so that'll be huge. But yeah, I 147 00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,799 haven't released any info about that, but I can't wait to share more about 148 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,399 it. Yeah, you know a lot of people are in debt right now 149 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:13,519 because of this craptacular economy and anomics. It is, I know. But 150 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,519 see, this is the thing. I think a lot of people are like 151 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,720 embarrassed to say that they are in debt, but they shouldn't be, because 152 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,480 there's a way out of it.

So how how 167 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:24,240 many students are there? We have six students right now in the school. 168 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:30,440 We started out with about nine kids. We didn't open up enrollment for like 169 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,200 a huge number in the beginning, just to kind of get our feet wet, 170 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,919 just just got to see what it, you know, what it was 171 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,399 like. And it was definitely challenging even with just nine students. I mean 172 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,720 it was it was hard. Uh so, just trying to figure out how 173 00:10:41,759 --> 00:10:43,960 things go. But now that we kind of got an idea and more staff, 174 00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:46,799 you know, hopefully, you know, once we raise money and get 175 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:52,039 back in our bigger building, we'll be able to take newer kids. This 176 00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:58,559 time. I'm actually going to drop the age groups down to third grade. 177 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,960 So I'm excited to do that. I was doing sixth grade, but as 178 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,679 I've been working for the past couple of years. I've just been noticing that 179 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,840 so much time I've spent with older teenagers, you know, these these smaller 180 00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:13,240 kids are the ones who are really gonna need it, and they will actually 181 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:18,720 grasp spit because it's hard trying to tell a teenager who's already you know, 182 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,759 worldly or out in the world or having sex or smoking or whatever to stop 183 00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:26,240 doing these things, right versus a kid who has not even started, who 184 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:31,440 still has good grades, who still being himself. I can hone his character 185 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,600 early and he it'll benefit him more than working with you know, sixteen seventeen 186 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,000 year olds. And I'm as got to a point now right right, I've 187 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,159 got to a point exactly, And I got to a point now where you 188 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,879 know, I've been dismissing you know, students because I spent you know, 189 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,480 years I've been I've been thinking about it the other day, like I've been 190 00:11:48,519 --> 00:11:52,559 spent years like just bussing at kids, you know, who don't want to 191 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,679 be there, or trying to force them to do the things or whatever like 192 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,080 that because their mom wants them to come, and trying to rehab them and 193 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:03,679 all that versus it's it's taking time away from those children who actually did you 194 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,200 know, want to be there and did want to learn, and they kind 195 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:11,039 of get frustrated because the other kids won't act right, et cetera. So 196 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,399 they just end up, you know, maybe not liking it or whatever. 197 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,720 Because I had one kid, you know, he was like, I love 198 00:12:16,759 --> 00:12:18,399 it. He's like, I love the exports proper, he said. It's 199 00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:20,600 just some of the older kids are bad. You know. You would say, 200 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:24,720 you know, but those are the kids who don't want to be there. 201 00:12:24,759 --> 00:12:26,320 And so I got to a point, I'm like, listen, mon, 202 00:12:26,399 --> 00:12:28,960 need to ask you your son, if he does not want to be 203 00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:31,759 here, don't bring him back. You know. I'm like, it's gonna 204 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,200 benefit the other kids more, especially with it being free, and we spend 205 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,399 a lot of our money, you know, just getting taking them on field 206 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,279 trips or whatever. I don't want to be you know, spending this money, 207 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,159 you know, on these kids or whatever like that, and they're not 208 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,759 wanting to do it. You know, they're not wanting to be better. 209 00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:50,039 They're not wanting the discipline, they're not wanting to become a better person. 210 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,799 I can only help those who want to help themselves, and a lot of 211 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,000 those, you know, younger kids do want to help themselves and they want 212 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,840 to be better, They want something. Do you think that that like just 213 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,519 when it comes to regulations, and like when I say government, but I 214 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:07,440 mean obviously they're governmental bodies that come in and they try to basically like shut 215 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,120 you down because they don't want Why do you think they want to do that? 216 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,759 Because you're helping people? Like why are you think? Why do you 217 00:13:11,759 --> 00:13:15,799 think they want to come in and shut you down? So a lot of 218 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,879 it is because I'm younger, you know, some a lot of the people 219 00:13:18,919 --> 00:13:22,480 here in my hometown, you know, have said, you know, what 220 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,240 they were going to do for so many years, and have you know, 221 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:31,080 hinted that little plans here and there are do piecemeal stuff like giving away things, 222 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:35,159 giving turkeys and Christmas trees, but no actual, you know, substantial 223 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,919 work that's going to reform minds. And I came at you know, eighteen 224 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,559 nineteen years old, and I said, exactly what I was going to do, 225 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:46,559 and we're doing it, and we're doing it in a fast fashion. 226 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,320 And so of course, you know, with all the little cliques, the 227 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,519 superintendent, the pastors, et cetera, they're not big fans of mine because 228 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,320 I'm not scared to say what I you know, want, and I don't 229 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,840 need their backing. A lot of another issue you know here in our hometown 230 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:03,039 is everybody has to you know, you have to shake hands with all those 231 00:14:03,039 --> 00:14:07,559 guys in order to be a leader or to you know, have any funding. 232 00:14:07,639 --> 00:14:09,840 But I've never needed their funding. I've always been able to raise our 233 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,240 own money. I've never needed to shake their hands. I've never had to 234 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,399 kiss their ring. You know, I've been you know, marching to my 235 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,759 own beat. So they'll try to alienate me a little bit or try to 236 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:22,639 tell other nonprofits not to work with me or whatever like that. But you 237 00:14:22,639 --> 00:14:26,360 know, we've been making our own way through that anyways, because some of 238 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:31,159 these people have been meeting me and our programs themselves and have been forming their 239 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,360 own opinions about you know, who we are and what we do. So 240 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,679 it's definitely a little challenge of being I guess, a little popular, I 241 00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,240 guess. But at the end of the day, you know, we we 242 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,320 we fight those ballots and we keep moving. You know, I know we 243 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,639 both have been tired this week, but you look good girl, all right 244 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:56,399 back at and it is all because of jen Ucel.

Well, when you're starting to get more and more active 260 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,039 on Twitter on social media, and I've seen you get into some fights recently, 261 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,039 and so wanted to talk a little bit about the one because you would 262 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,120 put out. We actually, during our show, we'll play, you know, 263 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,639 tiktoks and videos of cultural interest that we find. One of the ones 264 00:16:19,679 --> 00:16:25,600 that we spotlet I guess a week or so ago, was of a cop 265 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:30,519 pulling over a kid for speeding, and this kid was so belligerent, and 266 00:16:30,559 --> 00:16:33,000 he turned out to be like nineteen years old, and he was like calling 267 00:16:33,039 --> 00:16:34,879 his parents. Anyway, it was a whole thing, and we ended up 268 00:16:34,879 --> 00:16:41,320 talking about how so many of the traffic stops that get out of control and 269 00:16:41,399 --> 00:16:45,159 crazy could be prevented if kids would just show respect. And I saw that 270 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:51,200 you did a video where you were teaching a kid how to actually get through 271 00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:55,120 a traffic stop with a cop and how to behave with that cop, which 272 00:16:55,159 --> 00:17:00,639 you were absolutely right about. So what was the pushback and why did people 273 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:04,319 react so negatively to that? They were saying and I was teaching them how 274 00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:08,920 to be slaves and I tell them their rights and all that, and I'm 275 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,480 just like, dude, like we're trying to get home. I'm like, 276 00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:15,599 we're trying to get home to our kids. You know, and if I 277 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,839 have any rights, you know, we're gonna fight that in court. I'm 278 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,000 not about to fight it on the side of the road. I don't have 279 00:17:21,039 --> 00:17:23,920 a reason to unless I have a reason too. We're talking about a routine 280 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,759 traffic stop. You got pulled over because your break lights out, you were 281 00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:30,920 speeding, right whatever, you know. I'm like, there's nothing to fight 282 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,400 with that, you know, just take your ticket in and keep it moving. 283 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,079 If you feel like you were you were right, then again, go 284 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,559 fight it in court. But we're not fighting on the side of the road, 285 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,200 you know. And I was telling them, you know how many tickets 286 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,880 I've gotten out of, And you know, I told people all the time, 287 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,599 I've never had a bad experience with police ever. Like I get pulled 288 00:17:45,599 --> 00:17:48,160 over all the time. I am a speeder, Like I've been pulled over 289 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,319 thirty forty times. Yeah, yeah, I'm a spear. But I'm gotten 290 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,960 out of so many tickets just because when they turn off when I know I'm 291 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,160 speeding and I see a cop, I pull all before they even turn the 292 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,799 lights on. I'm already on the side of the road because I already know 293 00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:06,880 you're coming to get me. You know, if you weren't. Then they 294 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:08,119 passed by, but I go ahead and pull over. But they don't even 295 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,200 got to turn the lights on. But by the time they pull them out, 296 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,440 I'm already pulled off, you know, like I'm on the side of 297 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,119 the road, you know, And I always have everything ready, you know, 298 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,759 And they don't have to get your registration anymore. They just pull that 299 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,839 up, you know, be your license plate. So I have my you 300 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,880 know, driver's license already ready in my hand. He hands in the steering 301 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,720 wheel, all the windows down. If it's nighttime, I turn the lights 302 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,519 on or whatever. He comes into the car already in a good mood because 303 00:18:30,519 --> 00:18:33,279 he ain't got to do the flashlight and all that goodness or whatever like that 304 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,359 lights of registration. Know, I pulled you over. Yes, I was 305 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,000 speeding. I just wasn't paying attention. Okay, boom, all right, 306 00:18:41,079 --> 00:18:44,079 So go back to his car. Either he gives a ticket, he still 307 00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:45,920 gives a ticket whatever, you know, or he doesn't. He like, 308 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,160 you know, Joe, I appreciate you for pulling over, and you know, 309 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,400 you know, being polite. You have you a good day to slow 310 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,279 down or something like that. And I got out and told me the tickets 311 00:18:52,279 --> 00:18:56,000 simply doing that and being polite, even the two I got pulled over twice 312 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,440 and my license was suspended and I didn't know it. But because I was 313 00:19:00,519 --> 00:19:03,200 so polite, I didn't go to jail. You know. He was just 314 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,839 like, look, call somebody, come pick you up. You know, 315 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,920 I'm not gonna take you jail or nothing like that. And I really didn't 316 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,960 know it. I think it was like when you do a super speeder, 317 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,039 you have to pay a separate fee, and so I didn't know about this 318 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,079 separate fee and they didn't send it in the mail. Well they said they 319 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:19,799 send it to mail. I never got it, but they'll suspend their license 320 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,599 until you pay that super speed or fee or whatever. So but yeah, 321 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720 so I didn't pay it. I didn't know my license was suspended. But 322 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,480 they're like, hey, you got anybody to drive for you. I'm like, 323 00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:29,839 what you mean, they're like, all your license going. I'm like, 324 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,319 oh, it's not I didn't know. Okay, well I'll call somebody. 325 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,200 But that's that's that's that's what you're supposed to go to jail. But 326 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:40,079 if I were to been being belligerent going crazy, yeah my god, no, 327 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,279 it's mid blah blah blah, we're all going to jail, firsus going 328 00:19:42,319 --> 00:19:45,839 home to see my kids, you know. So it's just very important to 329 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,839 you know, be polite. And this is just not even with police, 330 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,519 just in general with people. Because you don't know who you're meeting, you 331 00:19:51,559 --> 00:19:53,599 know, and who you're interacting with, it's very important to you know, 332 00:19:53,759 --> 00:19:56,039 to be polite. You know, give the proper greeting. The other day, 333 00:19:56,079 --> 00:19:59,519 shake hands, look people in the eye, you know, all those 334 00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,240 things are. But they were saying that I was teaching them how to be 335 00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:06,920 sleighs and they still gonna get killed.

I think that I tell my daughter, who 339 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,400 is white, the same thing. I'm like, listen, you just be 340 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,480 you need to be nice, and you need to pull over, and you 341 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,839 need to be respectful and shut your mouth.

I have I have a question So who was your mentor who made 359 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,519 you so awesome? Like it is it just because you're genetically awesome or or 360 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:47,119 did you have mentors and people along the way that helped you become so Like 361 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,599 I mean, cause you're you're changing people's lives. So where did you have 362 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,559 people that that inspired you to do that? Or it was just something? 363 00:21:53,839 --> 00:21:59,759 Was that just intrinsic? I was raising a full family. I had my 364 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,359 dad, my mom, my granddad. Uh the deacon that stayed in the 365 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,799 house behind us, the truck driver across the street, the guy down the 366 00:22:07,799 --> 00:22:10,359 street, him and his son. I mean, we had a whole little 367 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,680 village in our little neighborhood. So when we learned how to do everything from 368 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,759 welding, paying cars, fixing cars, fixing on the house, cutting hair, 369 00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:25,000 laying bricks, taking care of animals, growing our own food. We 370 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,960 did everything. We literally did everything in our neighborhood. Where'd you grow? 371 00:22:29,599 --> 00:22:32,759 Where did you grow? I grew up here at All Benny, Georgia on 372 00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:34,240 the east, the east side of town. They call it the dark side, 373 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,720 but I grew up here. Uh yeah, I grew up here in 374 00:22:37,759 --> 00:22:41,920 All Benny, Georgia. And you know, we weren't poor, but we 375 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,160 weren't rich either, but I mean, you know, we had I had 376 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,640 a decent light, my mom. You know, I never like wanted for 377 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,160 anything or nothing like that. But we were never poor, eating out of 378 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,119 the trash can, none of that crazy stuff. But we were you know, 379 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,519 we did fine. And my stepdad, you know, he did a 380 00:22:55,559 --> 00:22:59,119 great raising with me as well as my granddad and my uncles. You know, 381 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,480 these guys still, you know, helped me to this day. You 382 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,880 know, I still call them for stuff and everything. And it's important for 383 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,200 you know, young men to have multiple male figures. It's not just their 384 00:23:07,279 --> 00:23:11,640 dad, like for me. You like, my son has a full schedule. 385 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,079 He has his baseball coach, he has his private baseball coach, he 386 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,039 has his boxing coach, he has a gymnastics coach, like all these different 387 00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:19,839 people that will be pouring, you know, into them because I don't know 388 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,720 everything, but as a father, I'm supposed to make sure he's surrounded with 389 00:23:22,799 --> 00:23:26,079 good men. I love it. Yeah, that way he grows up to 390 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:30,640 be a better, you know, young man. So it's important to have 391 00:23:30,759 --> 00:23:34,279 multiple mentors and mental multiple men because they all got something different, they all 392 00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:37,599 do something different, they all have different wisdom and if they put it all 393 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,480 into one person, you know, it makes a great man. And so 394 00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:45,559 since that's what I have, I'm giving it to my son in multiple different 395 00:23:45,599 --> 00:23:48,640 fashions. And I love the way that you talk on your website about how 396 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,079 you want to make men and so and that's such a such an important thing. 397 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:59,279 But yet you get so much criticism even for just the people that fought 398 00:23:59,279 --> 00:24:03,799 like the fact that we are supporters of yours or followers of yours. I 399 00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:08,119 see you getting criticism simply because we are white, and so you have a 400 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,599 following that is made up of white people, and you get criticized for that, 401 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,039 which is crazy. And then there was I loved a comment that you 402 00:24:17,079 --> 00:24:21,720 made to someone who I guess looked at your LinkedIn profile and saw that you 403 00:24:21,839 --> 00:24:26,039 had work experience as a forklift driver and that your next job was the founder 404 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:30,359 of the school. And the guy this person asked, how do you go 405 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,799 from a forklift driver to owning a school? And your response was I just 406 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,279 did it, Like you, what are you even looking for? And I 407 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,279 was like, I love that you just do it. And I drove aft 408 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:47,880 in the Marines like that was my my mos and supplied I drove a forklift, 409 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:52,160 and then I left there and I went to drive at Miller Brewery here 410 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,920 in our hometown, and I lived there, and I told, you know, 411 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,920 my wife at the time, you know, I told her I was 412 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:03,480 I wanted to start something working with kids, and that's what I told her 413 00:25:03,519 --> 00:25:04,559 I wanted to do. I'll never forget how I lost my job. I 414 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:10,079 was at work. I left Milling Brewery and I went to this other warehouse 415 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:11,720 job that was paying a bit more. I was there maybe about a month, 416 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,400 but I was working a graveyard shift, so I was working from eleven 417 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,319 to seven at night, and it was annoying. It was stressful, and 418 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,759 I was just tired. I would sleep all day and still be sleepy at 419 00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:23,519 work. But one day, you know, me and all the guys, 420 00:25:23,559 --> 00:25:26,200 we would all like take turns, want to sleep in the bathroom, like 421 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:30,000 when we didn't have anything to do. And so this one particular day, 422 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,680 I was sleeping, but they they said they came and tried to wake me 423 00:25:32,799 --> 00:25:34,559 up and tried to do all this, and it was knocking on the door 424 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,119 and I was sleeping. I'm like, I literally used to sleep with the 425 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,599 walkie talkie on my shoulder. Like, come on, dude, Like but 426 00:25:41,599 --> 00:25:45,000 anyway, so they said I was sleeping too hard that day and whatever, 427 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:47,519 and so they let me go the next day. But after that, I 428 00:25:47,599 --> 00:25:48,319 was just like, look, I'm like, I want to start something for 429 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,319 kids. I had been wanting to start something for kids, and that's what 430 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,880 I did. I started working with kids. Immediately into fund the program. 431 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,240 I was cutting hair, fixing cars. I became the neighborhood handyman. I 432 00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,880 did everything. I would leave someone where changing somebody's starter on their car, 433 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,839 and then go cut somebody's hair right after that, and then go paint somebody's 434 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,119 you know, living room after that. You know, like I was. 435 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,920 That's what I was doing. But I did it to fund the program. 436 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,319 That's how I did my first little field trips and all that stuff with the 437 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,640 kids. That's that's that was my dream, my goal of my vision. 438 00:26:17,079 --> 00:26:19,480 I mean I worked for it, like I really had to work. So 439 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,279 that was that was it. Man. And having white followers, I mean 440 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,559 I have like rainbow following. I got people that followed me from literally so 441 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,680 many different sides. I got people in the Nation of Islam to see pack 442 00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:37,240 and the Republicans and the Democrat like I mean, I have so many followers 443 00:26:37,279 --> 00:26:41,359 that love the work that I do, you know. So I'm just like, 444 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,880 but if white people are agreeing in masks, They're like, well, 445 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,440 there's no way that white people are agreeing with what you're saying. I'm like, 446 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440 because if white people agree, it must be wrong. I'm like, 447 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,839 you do know, white people can have a positive thought, They can have, 448 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,480 you know, a positive outlook on something. You know. Yeah, 449 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,440 I'm just like, I'm like, okay, we should start our own schools. 450 00:27:00,519 --> 00:27:03,359 Yes, And then white people say yeah, They're like, oh well 451 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:04,880 no, I'm like, but you just said we shouldn't started our own schools. 452 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,079 The white people will agree, so no, I'm like, well, 453 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,200 what are you talking about? Like this is what they sound like. I'm 454 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,480 like, okay, well we shouldn't open our school, should hold school our 455 00:27:14,519 --> 00:27:15,440 kids, yes, and white people like we're agreed. King, I'm like, 456 00:27:15,519 --> 00:27:18,519 no, well you must be wrong because the white people with it. 457 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,119 I'm just like, I'm saying the same points y'all favorite pro black people say 458 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,279 all the time. But because I don't add I hate white people, at 459 00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:30,559 the end, I lose my black cart, you know, Like that's that's 460 00:27:30,599 --> 00:27:33,720 the problem. And I've never changed. Like nothing I said. I have 461 00:27:33,799 --> 00:27:37,839 been saying the same thing since I was nineteen, even when I was the 462 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,039 pro black guy who hated white people and all that stuff, Like I literally 463 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,440 have been saying the same thing still. Or because one the reason I stopped 464 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,720 hating white people was because I was saying these things and white people will agree. 465 00:27:49,799 --> 00:27:52,359 I'm like, well, why do you agree with that? You're not 466 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,960 supposed to be agree with that. White people was like, yes, no, 467 00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,599 this is right, this is right. Even though I had forget I 468 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,119 was doing these field trips. I used to do field trips only for black 469 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,200 kids. I used to put on the fly. I'm like, on black 470 00:28:04,279 --> 00:28:07,599 children, you know, field trips or whatever like that. But I would 471 00:28:07,599 --> 00:28:10,640 have this white guy He's like, look, I don't even care if he's 472 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,359 just doing it for black kids. He's like, I'm gonna donate because I 473 00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,240 see you're trying to change them into better young men. So even if it's 474 00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,880 just for black kids, exactly what But that that was the first thing to 475 00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,759 flip. I'm like, why would he donate? You know, and all 476 00:28:22,759 --> 00:28:25,359 white people supposed to be racist, Like, why are you donating to a 477 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,519 black call? That makes no sense to me or whatever. But that's where 478 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:32,279 I started flipping, and I began having conversations with the guy, and I'm 479 00:28:32,319 --> 00:28:37,440 like, we're not really in disagreement. Yeah, but that's what I was 480 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,880 taught, you know, like watching Facebook and Twitter and all that. So 481 00:28:41,079 --> 00:28:45,279 then I started opening my mind up. And then we getting them invite from 482 00:28:45,279 --> 00:28:49,160 President Trump. I'm like, why is the racist white man inviting these black 483 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:55,559 children to come to these so but that's where it happened, Yeah, the 484 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,960 racist white man exactly. Yeah, that's where it happened. And ever since 485 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,680 and then you know, we like literally kind of just flip our script on 486 00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:07,359 the race thing, and now it's just regular teaching, you know, and 487 00:29:07,359 --> 00:29:11,559 we've I've never changed anything I was teaching it. I was just only taking 488 00:29:11,599 --> 00:29:15,680 black kids, you know, even though I rarely get like white children or 489 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,359 Hispanic children because we live in a seventy seven percent African American town, you 490 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,039 know. But we've had like one or two white kids and they do fine, 491 00:29:22,039 --> 00:29:25,160 they do fantastic, you know, in the program, but all in 492 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:26,440 all, they have to interact with these kids. Eventually, you know, 493 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,920 they're not going to always be you know, around black people and things like 494 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,519 that. So they have to learn to interact because everybody acts different. White 495 00:29:33,519 --> 00:29:37,799 people do act different from black people. Sometimes Hispanic people too, like they 496 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,279 all we all have different like ways we maneuver, et cetera. So you 497 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,039 have to learn how to interact with other people. It's it's very important because 498 00:29:45,079 --> 00:29:47,799 you're not going to be, you know, in this bubble, and that's 499 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,519 essentially what you're doing, you know, only keeping them with all the black 500 00:29:49,519 --> 00:29:52,400 stuff and all the blackness, and that's it's putting them in a bubble and 501 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,480 they won't know how to interact with other cultures. Even from me teaching them 502 00:29:56,559 --> 00:29:59,960 wearing suits, they're like, oh, well, that's a white man thing, 503 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,200 you know what the suits are for white people to like you better. 504 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,359 I'm like no, I'm like, it is the garment of the American culture. 505 00:30:07,559 --> 00:30:08,960 So if I were to go to Japan, what would I be teaching 506 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000 them to wear the garment of that culture so that you're respected where you're going. 507 00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:17,359 If we go to Dubai or whatever, we're gonna wear the garment of 508 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,559 the Dubai culture, Like that's where we are. You know. If I'm 509 00:30:19,599 --> 00:30:23,039 going to my neighborhood, I'm gonna wear the garment of my culture. It's 510 00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:27,200 like you're wearing a military uniform, the garment of the culture. You know 511 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,799 what I say, that's where you are. You have to wear a garment 512 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,680 of your culture where you at. So just like when I tell them, 513 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,079 I said, even the way you dress, if you were going to your 514 00:30:36,079 --> 00:30:38,039 neighborhood, you wouldn't go dressed like you're going to a job interview. You're 515 00:30:38,039 --> 00:30:41,160 gonna wear the garment, oh the culture you're going to. You're going to 516 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:44,640 your neighborhood. You're not going to dress like you're going to a job. 517 00:30:45,559 --> 00:30:48,400 So or the vice versa. I'm not going to dress like I'm going to 518 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,319 my neighborhood when I'm going to a job. And if you I have to 519 00:30:49,319 --> 00:30:53,160 wear the garment of the culture I'm going to. It's not a race thing. 520 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,119 It's not because it's white people. Know, we live in America, 521 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,920 so we wear suits. That's what we do over here, know, like 522 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,720 like it's it's my goodness, you know, but that's that's where we are. 523 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,759 Well, you're changing lives, you're doing amazing work in your own community, 524 00:31:07,759 --> 00:31:11,279 and that of course trickles everywhere. And it's it's such an inspiration to 525 00:31:11,319 --> 00:31:15,519 see you actually decide I'm seeing trouble in my own community, I'm gonna do 526 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,319 something about it. But we know that that takes money, and we know 527 00:31:18,359 --> 00:31:22,000 that you're heavily uh you know, you're reliant on donations, So how can 528 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:27,240 people support your mission? Absolutely, you can go to the xperboys dot org. 529 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:32,119 That's th h E x f O R B O y s dot org. 530 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:36,160 And you can go to our website. We don't just take monetary donations. 531 00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,359 We have our Amazon whist lists for people to send us actual items that 532 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,759 we need. People people kill our Amazon whistlests. I'm picking up packages like 533 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:47,920 every day. That's awesome. Yeah, so people always kill the Amazon whist 534 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,400 list. But also we have waste for people to donate money. Also, 535 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,640 we also got a big cooin. People donate a cryptocurrency all the time. 536 00:31:55,759 --> 00:32:00,000 Okay, so that's been a huge help because bitcoin has been surging right now, 537 00:32:00,319 --> 00:32:05,119 So some of those donations people sitting back like maybe you know, two 538 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,319 hundred dollars, you know previously, it's up to like seven hundred dollars now 539 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:10,039 because you know, bitcoin grows, you know, so that's a smart way 540 00:32:10,319 --> 00:32:15,119 to give also, But yeah, that's that's how we that's how we make 541 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:19,160 it happen. People donate and we make everything happen, you know from our 542 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,039 doors. We haven't got any government grants. We will be trying to get 543 00:32:22,359 --> 00:32:25,519 some grants soon with a grant writer, but for the past four or five 544 00:32:25,599 --> 00:32:30,759 years, we haven't got any grants, no, no government funding, none 545 00:32:30,759 --> 00:32:32,599 of that stuff. It's all just people like you guys you know, who 546 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,279 promote us and share what we're doing all the time.
