I come from the school of Tupac. I'm around. You don't wanna what?
Questlove
I want to ask you a question real quick.
Tesla Figaro
Let's just keep it real. Straight shot with no chasers. I'm gonna get a little bit rough. We don't stand to hear who we. I'm here for those who really believe in the American process. All of us straight sh with your girl Tesla Figaro on the Black Effect Podcast Network. What's happening, everybody? Tesla Figaro, straight shot, no chase. The Black Effect podcast network on iHeartradio. I am here joined with Jade Harrell. Hello, Jade, how are you?
Jade Harrell
Hey. Hey. I'm here.
Tesla Figaro
We are here after the election.
Jade Harrell
I'm still alive. You know, ain't nothing after the election. After inauguration, rather.
Tesla Figaro
Yeah, I know y'all thought as soon as it was, you know, the election happened that I guess you're saying you wasn't going to make it. But no, we're still here. We're still alive. Like the ancestors have survived slavery. The ancestors have survived sharecropping. The ancestors have survived mass incarceration. General, you will be okay. You will be okay. But that does not mean. Does not mean that you do not have a responsibility to make sure you get involved. And we're going to get into that in a moment. I wanted to invite our family in our live audience in to listen to this. If you want to be a part of the show, the live straight shot, no chaser show, definitely send an invite and we are happy to take your call and see your thoughts on this week. But let's get to a. Jade, let's talk about, obviously, Trump was inaugurated this week. I want to kind of throw something out there because on social media, a lot of you were saying, oh, I can't believe, you know, that it was on Martin Luther King Day. Can't believe it was on Martin Luther King Day. They did it on purpose. It's a big conspiracy. I want to throw out a quick fact that it is always on January 20th. It just happened to fall on Martin Luther King Day. And it fell on Martin Luther King Day for Clinton as well during his inauguration. So wasn't some big conspiracy theory to put it on King Day. That's the way it's traditionally is. And it just happens. It's very few times that it actually falls on a Monday. I think last year, the last inauguration, President Biden, the 20th fell on a Wednesday. So it is always the 20th. And it just happened to fall on a Monday. So let's stop, you know, making up. We don't have to make up conspiracies, guys, because there's enough foolishness that's happening in real time. We have enough of I can't believe that's happening. Is this really true? Enough of that is happening and we don't even have to make it up, Jade. We really don't. We can really just deal with the facts. We don't have to come up with conspiracy theories. There's enough foolishness going on. So as we know, after the, immediately after the inauguration, a part of the inauguration program, which is what I was telling people about on my Instagram live, this was not your typical inauguration program. You had the, not even close. You had the inauguration, you had the parade. You had him stopping in the middle of the parade, if you will. I guess before, right before the parade, signing executive orders, making several speeches outside of his typical speech on the inauguration about policies that he was planning to implement. You had other folks that were getting up, you know, speaking as you see the Elon Musk, you know, those things that are trending. And then you had him going to the White House and furthering the conversation and also, you know, signing executive orders. So, Jay, before we get into some of these executive orders, I want to direct everybody's attention to my Instagram to look at a video I posted this week, just kind of explaining. And I'm going to explain that here today on why I am concerned of this new movement of I'm not, I'm tapping out, you know, I'm, I'm not going to pay attention. I'm not going to help Trump with the ratings. They going to fuck around and find out. I'm sitting back eating my popcorn and I get all of that. I get the frustration. I get the idea that you think you're helping that ratings somehow plays a role into the presidency because Trump is an entertainer. So I get that, Jade. But I just want to remind people you're not helping him be renewed for a season. This is not another season on Love and Hip Hop. If the ratings don't do well on Inauguration Day, somehow he won't be the president. This is the President of the United States. Over 200 executive orders. 200. 200 executive orders were put in place. And if I were to ask most of the people who have major platforms on Social media, if they knew of 10, if they could really explain 10 executive orders in detail, I'm not sure, Jade, everybody would know. Now, I know my Instagram family, some of them appreciated what I had to say, and some of them say, tesla, I got to take my breaks. I'm exhausted. I can only consume so much. Or I want to be able to catch the clips and watch it on, on, on the back end. Let me let you know one of the things that Trump did in case, because I know y'all not paying attention, because y'all think y'all sticking it to Trump by not paying attention. One of the things that we just found out, literally Trump invested, I think, was it 500 billion in AI? Yes, $500 billion in AI. He also. One of the other things that he reversed, Jade, was removing the protection, if you will, from the. The AI, making sure Joe Biden put a policy in place to basically make sure to keep AI safe, to have some type of rule or, you know, some. Some guidelines to not people just being able to do whatever the hell they want to do. I don't know if you've been seeing those videos that they use Denzel Washington's voice or somebody else's voice on these relationships.
Tisha Allen
Yeah.
Tesla Figaro
Have you seen those?
Jade Harrell
Yeah.
Tesla Figaro
Yeah. It's weird.
Jade Harrell
I mean, and it really looks weird.
Tesla Figaro
As it looks real, you know, and they. And they use these AI voices to make it seem like it's coming from. It's one that pops up all the time in my feed, 50 Cent, also Denzel Washington. And although the messages are great, they're not coming from these people. But there are people in our society, particularly mental illness, as y'all keep talking about. Mental health. Mental health, mental health. There are people that really struggle with mental illness guys that really believe that this is Denzel or 50 Cent, and. And those things can be manipulated. So when you guys are talking about, I'll just catch it on the clip, I'll just watch it later. I'll just see what they're circulating. I want to remind you that catching it on the clip may not be the clip.
Jade Harrell
Yes, this is true.
Tesla Figaro
It may not be the clip. So real time involvement is important because if LA was not paying attention in real time, Jade, how would they have known to evacuate the premises in real time? They wouldn't have never known. So paying attention, you're not sticking it to anybody. Oh. All he care about is ratings, all this or that. This man is the President. You need, if nothing else, be able to know what is happening so that you can try to protect yourself. And I know there is this thing out here, Jade, of it ain't nothing I can do about it. What can we do about it? Well, you can get involved in the local and state level. Right now, I believe there's over 22. I believe you can pull it up as I'm talking, Jay, because I know we looked at that information. I think 22 state attorneys who are now suing President Trump based upon the end birthright citizenship. So there are ways.
Jade Harrell
There are 22 states attorneys. Well, that includes at least 20 states, 20 states up to this point, and two cities that are suing for the birthright citizenship. So, yes, their state's attorneys are involved, but that just goes to show how important elected office is and having the right people in office to represent you and your interests.
Tesla Figaro
Yeah, specifically state attorney. Let's, let's talk about that while we're there. Why state attorney was so important. Marilyn Mosley, who was a former state attorney for Maryland, they begged and begged and begged on hands and knees to pardon her. And Joe Biden said, get somebody else to do it. So, again. And Marilyn Moser believes her position is because she was a state attorney that fought for social justice and the Freddie Gray matter and all of that, she believes she was targeted. So, again, state attorneys are important. Why are state attorneys important? Keith Ellison was a state attorney. The George Floyd matter, the shaving, the Derek Chauvin case. Had Keith Ellison not been the state attorney, he would have. I don't believe that that case would have been a conviction because he went outside of his hometown and brought in legal experts and attorneys and everybody else to actually prosecute that case. He brought in a special attorney to prosecute that case. So state attorneys are important. And this is why, guys, you have to pay attention to what's going on or it's going to be knocking at your doorstep whether you like it or not. Not watching Instagram is not going to make a difference of these policies. Changing. Going in the comments saying, what do y'all want from the store? And somebody else saying, this imaginary store that y'all keep going to. And somebody else, oh, give me some cookies. And as if this person really can get you something. I know y'all think it's clever.
Jade Harrell
Wait, can you explain that for me? I don't know if I've seen that.
Tesla Figaro
Oh, you haven't seen that, Jade?
Jade Harrell
No. Is this an Instagram thing? Because I'm not usually over there.
Tesla Figaro
Yeah, you love being in the Twitter world. Well, on Instagram, when somebody makes A post that they don't like or they're not interested in. Somebody go in the comments and say, anyway, what do y'all want from the store? You know, what do y'all. What do y'all. I'm going to 7 11. Do anybody want something? Or they'll say, I'm going to Starbucks. Do anybody want something? And then 150 people are coming under that. Give me back a latte grande, light on the whip. Give me this, give me that. They really think they sticking it to them when they do that. Number one, guys, if you are trying to prove a point to the poster of saying, why did you post that? Can I do it on my Joe Biden whisper? You are still engaging when you go ask what somebody want from the store. So if you're trying to prove a point of I'm going to show the poster that I don't like this content. You are still helping them by engaging on the post by asking, what do you want from this imaginary store? So, guys, we got to get out of this. I'm just going to go ahead and let's get out this silly shit and let's start really focusing on what is happening in this country. This. I'm going to get a passport. I'm going to get dual citizenship. Knock it off. You were here. You were born here. Your ancestors fight for you to be here. You need to figure out how to get involved on local and state level. I've been giving you tools and tips, every pod, every episode of what you can do to protect yourself. But if you just don't want to fight, just say that. But don't try to convince other people. Oh, I'm so exhausted. Oh, I got to protect my mental health. Oh, I did, so I did. The ancestors would never. Ain't nobody stringing you up by no trees. Ain't nobody telling you can't drink out no water fountain. Ain't nobody giving you no 150 lashes. Ain't nobody. You ain't went through nothing. And the ancestors went through.
Jade Harrell
Exactly.
Tesla Figaro
Went through nothing. The ancestors went through. So this exhaustion and this. I need to be in bubble wrap 24 hours a day, but you got all day to consume foolishness on Instagram. Comedy skits, relationship. 50, 50, who going to be 50? 50, who ain't going to be 50? 50, a reality show. You got time to do all of that, but somehow you don't have time to at least swipe one or two things that actually will affect your daily life? Knock it off. I'm not going for it. Jade, I don't want to hear it. Somebody in my comments. Well, Tess. And that's why you fighting for us. I guess that was supposed to make me feel good. No, you want me to do all the work is basically what you saying. And when you guys come in my comments with that. Oh, exactly. Pop the balloon. That's another. Y'all got time to watch. Pop the balloon. You got time to watch. And when people come in my comments and say, y'all, Y'all just need to take a break, a mental break. And then five people come under. That's right. Mental break. Mental break. They were waiting on you to give them the. For them to sit down. It's just like Thanksgiving when you go to somebody's house on Thanksgiving and you. You know how y'all do it. Y'all pretend to act like you fist to clean up. Come on, Jay. We know how they do it. Remember? You be like, oh, you need some help. And you waiting on them to say, oh, don't worry about it, Jay. Have a cj. Exactly. Exactly. You're like, oh, for real? You sure? But then you notice. You sit your ass down. I notice you ain't running nobody over to help clean up them to wash them dishes.
Jade Harrell
Okay.
Tesla Figaro
Cause you just waiting on. Oh, you're just waiting on your aunt to say, I got a girl. Don't worry about it. You sure you got it steady sitting down, crossing your legs. So a lot of y'all are just looking for excuses and confirmation to say, oh, Jay, don't worry about it. Take your mental health breaks. You need. It's exhausting. While you sleep, they up. While you not working, they working. While you not paying attention, they paying attention. If nothing else, you need to know what's literally going to affect you in real time. This man set up at the desk all day long and damn near all night signing executive orders as if.
Jade Harrell
As if it was an NBA draft.
Tesla Figaro
As is. If. As if it was an NBA draft.
Jade Harrell
The entire spectacle that was made of this. Usually presidents, they move the presidential inaugural parade from outside because of the weather conditions in D.C. to inside of the Capitol arena on the day of inauguration. On. And Trump had a table and some pins and executive orders right there. And as soon as the marching band. Marching bands finished marching, bless their hearts, he went over and started signing Mississippi Valley. Yeah. Shout out to Mississippi Valley. They definitely did their thing. They are a wonderful band. It was over a hundred of them. They did a wonderful job. And they. Right after they performed, Trump went right over and started signing Executive orders. And he made it known, he had his. His assistant or chief of staff read off each executive order that he was signing right there and exactly what that executive order was to do. And then went back to the Oval Office and signed more executive orders in the presence of a. Of the press. So he literally had a press conference. Teslin in the Oval Office after a long day of inaugural events and took questions from reporters, rapid fire questions as he signed more executive orders. So over 200 executive orders were signed on day one, within hours of President Trump being reinagurated. In addition to that, we learned today or this week that over, I think the number was 308 illegal immigrants. Or now the government is saying revert back to the language of illegal alien. That is per a directive from Trump. We can talk about that too.
Tesla Figaro
But now let me.
Jade Harrell
Were deported that day on.
Tesla Figaro
Okay, so before we get into the. Into the. And thank you, Jay, for that, shout out to Shonda comments in the building saying, you know, I pulled her card. She was definitely disengaged. Somebody else asked him, was the arena full. It don't matter if one person was in the arena. Did you hear what I said? I said 200 executive orders were signed, Jade. 200. So what are we talking about? Arenas. And then another thing, y'all talking about Instagram. I'm just gonna just lay a bunch of stuff out. Oh, y'all. Now, now, now everybody. Oh, man, they. They. Okay, let me also give you another myth that they got y'all on a hysteria about if you already were following the president or the vice president, you're still following the president and the vice president on Instagram and Twitter, just so you know.
Jade Harrell
Hey, got you. Yeah. People are saying that they mysteriously woke up.
Tesla Figaro
Yeah. And maybe they. Maybe they did. I don't know. Maybe they did. But. But I did. But I do want you to know maybe there is some mysterious thing going on in the background. Maybe they did. But I do want you to know that if you're following the office, somebody say the office. The president of the United States, no matter who's in that office, you're still following the office. Just so we're clear, if you follow the vice president, you're still following. If you're following the president, you're still following. Now maybe they did go in and play some games. I get. I guess. But can I give you some breaking news, Jade, or why even. Why are we even talking? Who gives a damn? They are not doing policy based on who I see. Again, so many, so much people Put so much stock into this damn social media that they actually think following means something. I saw a post today. Oh, they done did this. Y'all buckle up. Oh, y'all, it's getting real now. It got real yesterday with the 200 executive orders. Instagram didn't make it. You following somebody on Twitter and Instagram didn't make it more real than what it was. It's already getting real. You already was supposed to buckle up. You already fucked around and found out. Even if you didn't fuck around, you found. You found out yesterday. If you did not find out, it means because you weren't paying attention. And the clips and the news articles, just so you guys don't know, they only put took a fraction of those. And y'all can miss me with this. I went to the website and looked it up. First of all, me and Jade know you lying because me and Jay was watching it in real time all day, and they were putting it up in real time throughout the day and throughout the evening. So don't come lying to the teacher and say, well, I looked at it earlier. How you look at it, Jade, when we was looking at it all through.
Jade Harrell
The night, all night long, into the morning, and then all of the.
Tesla Figaro
Do you think now do you think? I believe they was looking at it all through the night. Some people, Tesla, don't get on. Don't jump on my cake, girl. You better leave that dog ate my homework foolishness at home. I ain't buying it. Jade, you didn't go back and look at no website and read through it and do all of that. You just did not like me convicting you. And you don't want to keep it real like Shonda and say, you know what? I was disengaged. But now I got to get back in the game. Just keep it real. Like Shonda. Don't sit here and play no games me about no how you went and looked it up later and all that. You couldn't look it up later because it wasn't. It wasn't all the way completed. And they're still uploading right now as we speak.
Jade Harrell
That's right.
Tesla Figaro
And all the clips that y'all allegedly watched, it was only a few of those, Jade. The top ones. It wasn't every single executive, Every single executive order, every single action.
Jade Harrell
This is correct.

Jade Harrell
This is a 24 hour initiative in terms of keeping up with everything that's happening, especially with this new administration. So even when you think you've consumed some information, it's never enough information because things are breaking and new things are happening all the time.
Tesla Figaro
Literally all the time. And I get it. I'm not asking people, Jade, to watch all the time. I'm not watching. I'm not expecting you to all of a sudden say, hey, I want to be the chief political correspondent for my home and I'm going to. I'm not asking you to do that, Jay. What I'm saying is I want this PR campaign of disengagement to stop. And it's coming from a lot of, from people that have bigger platforms. To me, I want the PR campaign of. Well, I'm just, hey, this is what they voted for. We know this is what they voted for, Jay. They wanted this. You're not showing anybody any. They wanted this. Including the Hispanics. Saw some videos today. Did the Hispanics know he at the border? Yes. The legal Hispanics that voted for the illegal Hispanics, they wanted this. Guys, I broke all this down to you on, on social media yeah, but they gonna be hurt too. Right, but our community is going to be hurt first. Not as far as immigration is concerned. But you know what I'm talking about? I'm talking about any of these policies. When America is sick, we get a cold. I don't know why you guys think that somehow because you did not vote for Trump, you don't support Trump, that you're going to be exempt from the same laws. If the tariffs raise up the cost of goods, you too, Jay, will have to pay for the cost of goods. It's going to be you in the line at the grocery store and the person in front of you, hey, did you vote for Trump? Oh, okay. Your total is fuck around and find out. Oh, Jay, your total is this. No, everybody has the same total. So you are going to find out. Even if you fucked around.
Jade Harrell
Yeah. Even if you messed around, didn't vote for Trump, and you work for the government, the federal government, you will have to report to work in person, whether you like it or not.
Tesla Figaro
There's just somebody. Let me give some distinction on that because my friend, it works for federal government. I know he feel away, but he wants everybody to know that the policy also said that it is up to the office discretion, meaning actual department discretion, and it doesn't apply to contractors, a lot of contractors who work for the federal government. So there is some gray area in that. But the point is, Jade, gray areas. I just wanted so you guys understand, gray areas might be gray now, but they can become crystal clear black and white as we move forward.
Jade Harrell
Absolutely.
Tesla Figaro
I'm saying, let me give you a real time example. Remember when smoking, you could smoke anywhere, any restaurant, any whatever. Remember how I went from smoking in the restaurant to. Then it went from, you can smoke outside. Then it went from, you can't smoke but 25ft in front of the location where the restaurant, hospital, whatever. Then it went to no smoking at all on the whole block. So, and I'm being facetious when I say that, but no smoking at all, anywhere. These laws, they put these things out to test the water, to go up, to go a little bit further, to push a little bit further. So although now you're able to say, oh, well, that really don't apply to me because this or this or that, it will be moving towards you, to apply to you. So if you are doing nothing to stop it now, like contacting your state attorney, because remember, Republicans love state laws. Remember, everything's about state laws. So getting involved with your state rep, not Congress, your state rep, your state Senator, not your US Senator, not your US Congress, but your state senator, your state rep, your mayors and your commissioners. You literally can create your own America in your city. It's very, very important, Jade, that people understand this. Federal law, for the most part, trumps everything. But not really, Jade, not in all. I'll give you an example, real time example, federal law, minimum wage, what I think is 725, you know, the minimum wage. But there's been. Some cities think Orlando did it at one point, but some cities that say, because we pull this so we can, we consume so much information. Some cities that say the minimum wage for the city of Orlando or the city of Atlanta will be $15 an hour, meaning their government employee, they can't tell you what private employers to do, but they can. They can set the mandate for their city. And what typically happens with that is if the. If the city of Atlanta employs 100,000 people for the city and they say that the minimum wage is $15 an hour, private businesses tend to. Tend to, not guarantee, tend to follow that in order to remain competitive.
Jade Harrell
Absolutely.
Tesla Figaro
Remain competitive.
Jade Harrell
Yes. And the federal minimum wage, as you cited as of 2024, is $7.25 per hour.
Tesla Figaro
So I hope, I hope people are finding these little tidbits are helpful, Jade, because a lot of people, they are hopeless. I don't know what to do. What do I do next? Please make sure you always stay tapped into the podcast. It's so much information. Stay tapped into my Instagram Live. I go live all of the time, sometimes three, four times a day, where I'm constantly trying to give you information, because these are the kind of things that I want you to know where to find your hope, but I also want you to find your faith, your works, your hope, all of that. It's not about just sitting back, being hopeful. This is why I relocated to Atlanta, so I can be in a. I want to be in a city that is like South Fulton, 96% black, with my black mayor, with my black network, with my black podcast, network, with my black self, so I can push black issues because that's what's comfortable to me. I'm not saying everybody need to relocate to Atlanta is not what I'm saying. I'm sure Atlanta people tell you to stay where you are because they're full. But my point is getting involved in your local, you know, your local area does. Does make a difference. Getting involved, having access to your mayor. The Director of Constituent services popped in on my live earlier today. Those things make a difference. Those Things make a difference. And so with that said, I do want to mention we. I am excited about the Tesla Figueroa town hall tour that is coming up. The first one will be March 30th in Atlanta at my brother Killer Mike's restaurant, Bankhead Seafood. The town hall, yeah, it's gonna be lit. The town hall will include, you know, I got to galvanize people around having a good time. That's just what it is. So the town hall will have some type of special performance, whether that's a comedian or a band or something, just to enjoy. Give you some free shots because this is straight shot, no chaser, you know, have some conversation, really organize. Who in this city is ready to get busy and come back to my training or the push the line training. So I can train you on these things, on being candidates, organizers and operatives. Because, Jade, I'm not going to sit back and say everybody else, what they doing? What they doing? No, as you know, Jade, I've been trying to get pushed the line back out here. We did a couple years ago in Atlanta, and I've been trying to figure out a way to get it back on the road. And this is the way we can do it by mixing it in with some type of social something so people can gather and we can break bread together and know who we are and then bring those same folks back and get our training going. So I'm very excited about that. Two dates are already locked in Atlanta and then Houston. So I'm very excited about that. So before we close the show, before we close the show, explain to the people the de a couple of these things. We don't have much time, but I just want to explain. I want you to explain just a couple of things on the DEI programs. Because, guys, one thing that you guys keep talking about, there's a misconception of this. It only help white people. Somebody said that in my comments early. Oh, this is not about just hiring people on affirmative action, guys. DEI programs funded many, many, many, many j black businesses and organizations, and it made other organizations force their hand because they damn sure didn't want to do it. Like you saw with Walmart. With Walmart saying we no longer have to adhere to diversity, which means we no longer have to adhere to black vendors who say they want a piece of the pie.
Jade Harrell
Absolutely.
Tesla Figaro
So I don't know where people are getting this information with this. This is about, I don't know, maybe y'all hearing that and some of these little fake political commentators that be out there running their Damn mouth.
Jade Harrell
That's exactly what it is.
Tesla Figaro
Okay, well, that's the thing.
Jade Harrell
Speculating on social media. So there. But again, when you receive your information third hand, as opposed to going to the source or doing the research for yourself and or watching the news, then it's easy to get mixed up. So President Trump has issued, well, he signed executive executive order ending all DEI programs. So let's just be clear of what DEI stands for. These are all diversity, equity and inclusion programs within the federal government. So these orders rescind a range of previous initiatives that were designed to promote diversity across federal agencies and to also mandate the like funding, like the. To stop the funding for all of those programs.
Tesla Figaro
Okay, now let me tap in here because I want to make sure that people understand this. Remember just a moment ago I said when a city decides to change their minimum wage, most private businesses follow.
Jade Harrell
Yeah.
Tesla Figaro
You got to follow this very closely. Although this is saying federal DEI programs. Jay, do you remember when Walmart made the announcement that they're no longer following DEI programs? Remember? Yes, it was about a couple of months ago. A few others. I just remember Walmart really sticking out. Walmart is not a federal program. It's not a federal agency, if you will, but Walmart by them having diversity and equity programs. This is why I want y'all to know, understand this. When these companies say, we want federal tax breaks or federal resources or grants or any type of benefit for hiring under diversity, equity and inclusion, which by the way, it's not just about race, it's about those are disabled, Many, many things follow under this, guys. So when they say, yeah, when they say, oh, we don't have to worry about getting that tax credit anymore. We don't have to worry about getting that grant anymore. Or it may not even be for tax credit or grant, it may just be because they just want to be a good steward and make sure they align themselves with what everybody else is doing in order to remain competitive. If any of you ever remember if you go to a job and they'll say, you know, we participate in diversity and equity and you know, how you always, at the end, you know, mark off if you're black, woman, veteran, disabled, all of that because they want to show, hey, we, we are, we, we take pride in, you know, hiring everybody from across the board, we also want to, it's always voluntary for you to fill it out. I always tell people to fill it out because they want to be able to basically have a good report card, that they're doing the right thing, that they're hiring the right people. That same report, report card goes guys to when they also are trying to get contracts, you know, when they want to go to the city of Orlando and get a contract to provide all of the food service, all of that a part of those bids. I know I had a contract at Orlando, the city of Orlando. I was a staff, a staffing firm, City of Orlando for three years at the Amway Center. A part of that is being able to say, well, how do you partner with other diversity, other diverse groups? Is it just you, Spirion, getting all the money or do you share some of that with a black owned firm or a woman owned firm or diversity from whatever you want to call it. But for people who are just talking and saying that only help white people, they literally don't know what they're talking about. They just don't know what they're talking about.
Jade Harrell
It's really sad because at the end of those forms, you know, when you even apply for a job, it would say, we are an equal opportunity employer. And so those numbers and metrics that you're talking about will go to prove, you know, how many applicants or people they hire that fall within that bracket or you know, that benefit from these DEI programs so that companies and the government can provide equal opportunities for housing, equal opportunities for employment, et cetera in different programs.
Tesla Figaro
And let me give another real time example because receipts are important real time examples. So you can know I'm not just pulling this up at my ass. Because most of the people you're listening to on a lot of these YouTube have never did this type of work. So they really, truly don't know what they're talking about. Real time example. The Ally Group, my staffing firm, we got some people say you should just get it based on merit. I did get the contract based on merit. J Donna be clear. I went and partnered with Spirion, who was the third largest staffing firm in the world because I had already worked for the first and the fifth largest staffing firm in the world, Adenko and Robert Half. So I had the experience to get the contract. I got the contract before I got certified as a minority owned business, as a woman owned business, as a veteran owned business. I got the contract, let me say it again, based upon marriage. But I later applied for those certifications with the state of Florida and the city of Orlando because I knew that it would keep me more competitive because it made Spirion look good to know that they could check those boxes. I am not a white woman. Now you may say, well, Tesla, that just benefited you. Let's go deeper into the word. Because I was the boss, I was able to hire people that otherwise would not have been hired. In fact, Spirion once asked me, hey, can you just show us all your applications? And everybody. And I said, no, we're not going to do that. You know why I didn't do that, Jade? I was hiring people on probation. I was hiring people with criminal backgrounds. I was hiring people who lived in shelters. I didn't want these people in our business.
Jade Harrell
Excellent.
Tesla Figaro
Because I knew that if they hire. I knew that if Theo Johnson, who always talks about this story publicly, if he had applied to work at the city of Orlando, they never wouldn't have hired Theo Johnson because of his background. I wanted to give Theo Johnson an opportunity, and because I was the boss, I got to do that. And because of those DEI programs that y'all say don't benefit nobody, you literally don't know what you're talking about. I was able to hire 150 people around the clock, 300 on my payroll, 150 people working every night from every background. And a lot of those people were people that Spherion would have never hired.
Jade Harrell
Wow.
Tesla Figaro
And, and, and to go further, so you guys can have real receipts. If you go Google, Tesla, Figaro, assist the bench, you'll see the real article, the real news story at that time. When I challenged the NBA for being when they had their lockout in 2011 and I went to the city of Orlando and said, we got to figure out a way to still employ, to give these people the lease, a meal or vouchers, to not to be able to pay their bills. How are they going to do that? And I remember making the choice. This is why when I be hearing people talk about they got the choice, they didn't have no choice. I don't blame them. I don't want to be here in the Jade because I've had to make some tough choices too. And I remember the NBA when we had the NBA All Star. I remember this so well. This is how bad Spen wanted to know. Because they knew I had people with felons working for me. They knew that. But we worked so flawlessly, they could never get us on anything on our quality. But they knew it and they tried it when it was time to work for the NBA, because the NBA want to run everybody through vetting for the All Star. They want everybody. We. They want everybody's background. They want to know who working for you, not working for you. I remember that very clearly. They're like Tesla. We know you normally don't tell us who's working for you. You know, they knew my employees, but I just didn't share their employee information. They said, but if you want to do the NBA all star contract, then we need to know all your employees. Nice try, Robbie. Nice try, Robbie. That was his name. Not happening. What I did was I went and got a side deal with the NBA myself.
Jade Harrell
Love it.
Tesla Figaro
Got a side deal with the NBA myself. The NBA tried it. They tried to pay less than what they. They just left Houston. No, y'all pay huge. Because, guys, if you end up in these business room, they don't know what they talking about. But you know, I'm giving y'all real time is I'm not bragging about telling you how it works. The NBA tried it. They said, well, because at the time, minimum wage was 725, just like it is now. This is 2011, guys. They said, well, we're going to pay your staff 725. I said, well, why would you do that when you pay Houston $10 an hour? Well, that was Houston. Houston. No, but you're going to pay because it was Houston. You pay them what you paid in Houston. Just because it's 725 here don't mean they can't make an extra $3. So I went and negotiated a deal directly with the NBA. The NBA, by the way, the reason why. You know why I'm pretty sure I got that contract. DEI programs wanting to make sure that the NBA was partnering with minority firms. And because I was certified, I didn't want to go with my regular contract with Spirion. I went and got a deal directly with the NBA to do the. We did the events that were not in the arena. So we did. Magic Johnson had a dinner. Several other little events that was going on outside of that that did not require the security clearance. Okay, so those are the things that these non employers who just be talking and feeding y'all information don't know if they're talking about. I'm not saying that to Boss Jade. I'm saying there is information that you guys just need to know that you need to know. And if you are not tapped in and if you're just sitting back and eating popcorn and watching, these are the things that are that. That you need to know so that you can know how to navigate policy in your city.

Tesla Figaro
Tell us quickly about the end Birthright.
Jade Harrell
Citizenship Birthright citizenship According to the Trump administration, President Trump signed an executive order that terminated birthright citizenship which altered a constitutional provision since the 14th amendment of ratification in 1868. So this change that he made targets approximately 1.3 million US born adults living with undocumented immigrant parents. And we got those numbers from the Pew Research Center. So basically the birthright citizenship says that this executive order, they're ending the H1B visas and just saying that if your children, if you are undocumented and you have children in the United States, your child is no longer automatically a US Citizen.
Tesla Figaro
Now I want to do this, I want to give this quickly on behalf of the good S.I.S. attorney Ebony K. Williams Holding Court podcast. This is very important guys, because right now, the way it's written, right now, the wood Trump is saying right now it's about Jamal and your Paul. But attorneys and jurists, people that actually study the law, they are concerned about this because they know that this is A slippery slope. Now, I'm not telling you. You gotta be concerned. Don't sit up and tell me. Well, Tesla, you must be advocating for the immigrant. I'm giving you the information. Do what it is, what you will. The 14th Amendment, that also made the descendants of slaves actual citizens because they said you're not citizens. This is what attorneys who study the law are concerned about. When you look at how this can possibly be a slippery slope and change, remember how a moment ago when I talked about those gray areas that eventually become black and white? So attorneys and people who are concerned about this, who are not just talking about first generation, second generation immigrants, there are people who are concerned about this being rolled back all the way to anybody that comes from ancestors who were not born in this country. So right now you like, oh, I'm cool. My mama and my daddy was born here. My grandparents were born here. My great great grandparents. I can go back to my lineage 100 years. I just want you to know where the legal community is standing on this. The legal community is saying they're keeping an eye on this because of the possibility of it becoming something more than what it is. So I just want to give you all that information. Do with it what you will.
Jade Harrell
Yes, this is correct. And just really quickly, I want to clarify something. So the order denies citizenship to children who are born in the US if they have parents on temporary visas, such as tourist visas, student visas, or H1B work visas, or if one parent is a non US citizen. This does not state that they're going to end the H1B work visas. However, that is a conversation that we probably need to follow up on when we have more information because there is discourse politically about ending H1B visas for work, for workers who are coming from abroad, or whether those will be limited in the future.
Tesla Figaro
So I wanted to give that just on behalf of my good girlfriend because she was. You know, we were talking about that today. Keep an eye on that. We also. What the name of the new. The re. The re. Affirmation of the binary. Gender recognition. What is the actual name of that jade? Because I know I sent it to.
Jade Harrell
You earlier among so many other things. So many other things pulled up. But it's just, it's.
Tesla Figaro
The name of. It is very interesting because it's talking about basically women. Let's.
Jade Harrell
While you're looking it up, it's defending women from gender ideology, extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.
Tesla Figaro
Say that again. So you said it very fast. The name of the actual executive Order.
Jade Harrell
Is defending women from gender ideology, extremism and restoring biological truth to the federal government.
Tesla Figaro
Very interesting title. So this thing, this particular executive order is saying there'll be no more of this. You know how you get emails of him, he, you know, cisgender. All of that, again, according to the federal government doesn't mean that in your workplace, in your workplace that there still will not be recognition of different genders. If people want to have all gender bathrooms in their workplace, in the club, in the restaurant, they still have the right to do it. This is about federal and federal documents like passports, visas, government IDs, all of that. So we're just government IDs. So we're going to see how that again, remember we talked about state. Remember we talk about state rights. So I'm going to, we're going to pay attention to see how that works. Your state, your state decides you live in the state of Georgia. How that's going to fall on your driver's license. So again, we're talking about federal, we're talking about state. This is a lot of information, guys, to consume. We can't go through it all in one night. That's why when somebody telling me I paid attention, I saw it all. You couldn't have possibly saw it all because it is literally too much to consume. Literally. I hope you guys stay tapped in to the Black Effect podcast network. I drop content every Thursday. Please share it. If you have been following me for years and you still saying please tells me you need a show that tell me you really don't follow me because I literally have had a podcast on the Black Pit podcast network on iHeart. You can get it anywhere that you subscribe to your podcast content like clockwork every Thursday. I do not miss. I'm going into my fifth year with Black Effect. Over 250 episodes. Jade. I have given information only on politics in our community. Never moving outside of that. You guys know if you follow me, I throw in some relationship talk. You know, I have some fun. But I only talk about one thing. I'm not all over the place. So at least have me in your podcast follow list just to look at the title. Just click and follow and subscribe. You already told me y'all need breaks and mental health and rest and all that. I get it. But at least if nothing else, click follow guys, so you can look at the title and be able to say, okay, is this something that I need to know about? Because the people that are working against you, just so you know, they listen to AM radio Turn on your AM station. You know, y'all say don't nobody listen to the radio. Well, they actually do. They actually do. All of the AM talk radio stations are conservative. All of them. I don't want to say all because I want to do absolute. But the majority of them, Jade, are conservative. They listen on their commute in. After that, they listen to their podcast in their earphones. They, they're not scrolling and looking at videos and comedy and all of that. They listen in their ear. Then after that they go home and they watch Fox News for the rest of the evening. Then between all of that, they go to Truth Social because. Because Trump didn't wait on Twitter to give Ms. His. Remember how he got off Twitter? They put him off to Elon Musk. Got it. Twitter. Trump said, I'll go start my own Twitter. So they're getting their information from Trump Social all day. Now Facebook has said, you know what, let everybody say what they want to say. No more fact checking. Elon bought Twitter. Don't worry about it. We'll call an X and let everybody say what they want to say. So they are in a 24 hour digital discipline of consuming, consuming, consuming, consuming. Ain't nobody saying they exhausted. Ain't nobody saying they need a mental break. Ain't nobody saying this. Too much information. And that is exactly why right now Trump has the House and the Senate and the presidency who he could have pushed a lot of stuff through Congress. No, he said, I'm going to do it. Day one, executive orders, and y'all ain't got to like it. But he's doing exactly what he told his base he was gonna do. So if you wanna know how to get your elected officials to do exactly what the hell you tell them to do, I suggest you get involved in the process. Thank you so much, Jade, for being, for tapping in with me again. Straight Shot no Chaser. Guys, subscribe wherever you get your podcast on iHeartRadio, the Black Event Podcast Network.
