Transcript

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, please give a big welcome to your plexic founder, can this all end? Hello Hey Hey, guys. Man, it's so nice to be back on stage, in a room with people. All this COVID 19 craziness. Look at this, right? This is awesome, guys. So awesome. So much I want to say here, but I'm gonna speak later. I just want to get the show started, and basically give you guys a background. Hey, Bryson, hey, Bryson.

Bryson has a song called, I feel like Candace Owens. Be sure to download that at some point. It's a great song. Oh, crr, right? Um, this is amazing. First off, it's just amazing to be in the room with everybody after everybody being separated. Just so not natural for humanity, to go through that, and to be separate. I want to tell you guys just a little bit about the Blexit story, why I started this 501 C3, not for profit, where my heart was, and why I think this is the most significant thing that is happening in America right now.

And to all of you guys who have volunteered, we're now in 20 plus states, these people put their heart into this. And people laughed and thought it would never happen. You know, we start with the We Got Love video. We created this. I have an amazing creative team, because I just never remembered growing up America feeling the way that it feels right now or looking the way that it looked right now. I don't remember this black community that the media is showing us, this angry, bitter, looting, rioting, upset.

That's not what the black community was when I was growing up. Um, I grew up watching The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the Jeffersons, the Winslows family matters, all of these shows that were about family togetherness, about having issues with solving them at the dinner table by the end of the day. Um, and that, if there was an American spirit at that time, I swear the '90s was the golden decade. I have very fond memories of the '90s.

And suddenly, we've seen a dramatic shift. And suddenly, everything is racialized, right? And suddenly, it's black versus white, and we are not allowed to be in the room together like we are right now, because all of you white people are racist, and all of you black people are oppressed. And there's this horrible, horrible fracturing of Americanism that's happening in the process. We're forgetting what it means to be an American.

Um... So we started the Blexit Organization, Blexit. I'm sure you figure it out by now stands for the Black Exit, encouraging minorities to exit from this progressive narrative, to realize that we value the same things in life, this country. We value faith. We value family, but most importantly, we value freedom. We We value the ability for us to make our free decision to come here today, right? To decide to be with one another, not to have a government, tell us where we can go, what we can do, and who we can speak to.

That's what this country was founded upon. So tonight, you're going to hear from an amazing cast of speakers, people that I look up to that have mentored me, and you're going to see what I view to be the black story in America. We're going to go through three phases, the first is the concept of liberation, which was, I guess, this idea that after slavery, black people had been freed, and yet something happened in the 1960s with Lyndon Baines Johnson, and the proliferation of the welfare state, and everything changed, and suddenly, Black America arrived suddenly into the wilderness, which is where we are today, right, where we see a desolate community.

a hopeless community, and it's a community, that the government has stripped everything away from. You know, when the government decides it's gonna be your God, it's gonna be your family. And last of all, we will not leave you on a sad note, we're going to take you to the promised land, which is where I believe we are going. So, ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, thank you guys so much for coming. It's gonna be a wonderful show with the most impactful speakers.

I will be out later. Uh, but just... Oh, by the way, I'm pregnant, huh? Just want to throw that out there for fun. Six months, very exciting stuff. People keep asking me what it is. It's a patriot. It's a patriot. So, ladies and gentlemen, enjoy the show. We have so much to show you, and we'll get started. Thanks so much. I'll be back later.
