Happy Founders Day to the men of alpha alpha seven men came together making a commitment to embody The Motto first of all Servants of all we shall transcend all Greg were you surprised by that video Greg I couldn’t stop laughing man you know what it was Roland I saw brother
West Moore give his thing today on the Frat but Joe Biden just cracks me up man no but you know he you you know he’s actually done a video for every D9 Founders Day no question hey look Joe B know what side his bread is buted on man
It just cracks me up to hear why I mean but but but I’m tell you this here I don’t recall Obama doing greetings for every fist day well I’m so I so I hey I give it to Biden staff no I I I definitely give it see that that’s
Called good Staffing that’s called that’s see I I love I love all the people sitting there oh uh he out here this what cracks me up I I I I’m going to get to Conor Steven horse for a minute but but this what cracks me up these people going oh see that’s right
Here begging for the vote see this this is where I’m now confused so if we get ignored we pissed right but then if somebody does something like this the other folk go oh uh now you sitting here begging that that’s actually smart politics smart politics is that’s what you do um when you
Are you know again looking out for a group Republicans uh do that for evangelicals they do it for other groups so I it just kills me when you get people who out there it’s sort like damn if you do damn if you don’t no question and and yeah and Obama you know the
Obamas are outliers first of all I doubt that Barack Obama was invited to a smoker or anything else when he was in undergraded ocidental or even when he crossed the continent and as far as Michelle Obama go is it apocryphal have y’all heard the same story I heard that
Uh once it was clear that she could only join once a did she just turned down all the offers like in other words I did I could maybe I could be an honor member of all of them so clearly y’all don’t know how this works we’re all together
It’s the divine nine but let you got a pick so maybe the Obama but you’re absolutely right that’s smart politics and we know as you know better than all of us just how filthy the White House is with members of alpha 5 Alpha and the Divine n so they weren’t going to let
Him make no mistakes brother no question absolutely absolutely you know Larry you know you know you know on that point this is one of the reasons why you have diverse staffs this is one of the what people don’t realize what people don’t realize presidents Governors Mayors County Commissioners State reps
State senators when you go to a Wars programs what do you open up you will see a letter there from elected official when you go you’ll see video videos that this happens for all groups and so we should we should want elected officials especially those that depend on our votes uh honoring our
Organizations absolutely and listen he wouldn’t get elected without the D9 his vp’s a me member of the D9 so it’s it’s it will be a fumble if the White House didn’t and I know thega scii had their found this day a few weeks ago and I saw
The video and you’re right ring he’s done deals for everyone it is smart politics because as we well aware we can call about Dr King and brother Marshall Etc in terms of alpha the impact Alpha men have had on this country the boys Etc but it it will be unconscious not to
Honor particularly obviously the first but honor all D9 organizations in terms of giving them a shout out on Founders days it takes a few few minutes to film each video but it’s really important because listen in election next year he’s going to leave every single vote of
Every d n member not only that we talked about all our work for voter registration and Alam men always in the front line and getting people registered to vote undergraduate and graduate chapters so he’s gonna need every single vote next year so it’s critically important that he gave a shout out like
I said to the first and the finest of course I just can’t stand the folk who whine Mustafa or who say oh he pandering first of all Let Me Be Real Clear Politics is pandering you literally go to people begging them for their vote it ain’t no different to somebody
Outside the store going you got any spare change you got any change that’s what politicians do it’s true it is what they do but you know we need to also uh view this from a different direction because I’ve been in the seats of prepping senior officials for the creation of videos and
Engagement with uh other organizations so when you have uh whether it’s a president or vice president or an administrator uh of an agency uh yes you’re shooting that video for a few moments but they’re also finally beginning to have some education around uh the creativity and uh actually all
The amazingness that is associated with us that they may not have known and then they will also swing back around when you’re on the road with them and they’ll say or ask questions uh about an organization and the leaders inside of that so when he hears names like Dr King
Or Thor Good Marshall or a number of others and they’re starting to make some decisions about who’s going to get invited to something or where resources need to go or who has the expertise in that space they will think about alpha alpha um so there’s a number of benefits
That come from having those individuals both in that moment and then in additional times afterwards uh absolutely absolutely uh uh speaking of that um Mustafa you’re there uh in Dubai uh vice president kamla Harris uh was was was there uh as well uh tell folks what is happening
There uh that uh the attention of the world uh is on that region well cop 28 is happening here in Dubai uh it’s an incredibly important set of conversations that are going on uh countries uh all across our planet are making decisions about the sets of Investments and actions that they’ll do
To address the climate crisis and for our folks it’s incredibly important to be a part of this and to pay attention to what’s going on because our communities get hit first and worse whether it’s from floods or hurricanes uh these heat waves that actually disproportionately kill black folks at
Twice the rate of white folks so when people are talking about uh how resources are going to be developed where resources are going to go and how we’re going to break our addiction to fossil fuels there is a direct public health impact that’s happening but there’s also an economic uh impact uh
For our f folks uh we know many of our folks work Outdoors so when we have these extreme weather events it makes it difficult uh for us to be able to work it makes kids uh more difficult for them to be able to make it to school but there’s also literally billions upon
Billions of dollars for economic opportunities and we need to be positioning ourselves to make sure that we’re getting our fair share so one we get to protect our communities and we can also help to address the wealth Gap by getting engaged in this new clean economy
