Because my girl, Gigi, she 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.960 has a club Vanity, and she was saying that Luke 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.000 was there a couple of months ago. And he made 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:13.800 the girls do things they've never done before. They had 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.280 what was it? What happened Luke? I can't say that 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:20.280 on the Rhea it was a eating train. There you go. 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.959 You didn't have to use it. It was a It 0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:29.240 was a train bunch of girls like the caterpillar, like 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:32.120 they all eat each other out walking. Well, you have 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:34.920 a caboose and then you have you know the beginning 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.040 of the train, and then the train just goes around 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.760 the clube. Oh you had a real train? Yeah, oh, okay, 0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.520 make sense. It's like a congoline the beginning. How did 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.960 Uncle Luke get started, especially with all this raded ar 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:48.840 stuff because you was raded You gotta read the book 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.400 a Luke, because let me tell you something. I read 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:52.360 the whole book. Okay, it was fascinating. I read it 0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:55.680 all in two days. And it really gives a whole 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.240 history of Luke, what he was like when he was younger, 0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:01.800 his family background, talks about growing up in Miami, going 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.760 to Liberty City, the politics of Miami, because you know, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:07.000 we go to Miami all the time, but we don't 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.320 know the history of Miami. So this book really breaks 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:13.040 it down. So it all started, would no I didn't well, 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:18.160 you know, we all came the Uncle Luke business start. Well, 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.480 I mean basically just like she said. I mean, in 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:22.640 the book, I talk about, you know, the beginning of 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.520 Miami because just like you said, a lot of people 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.400 come down there, but they don't know the history. They 0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:29.679 don't know Miami was forty percent African Americans. They don't 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:34.480 know Miami was built on the backs of of the Bahamians, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:37.080 you know, and what you see right now ain't what 0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:40.440 it was before. You know, we couldn't go to Miami Beach. 0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.880 We would have to be off the beach at six o'clock, 0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.440 you know, in this little area call over Town. You know, 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:47.400 you would perform on the beach, but then you have 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.400 to stay there. So I kind of bringing in full 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.400 full full of you know how you know, I was 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:58.360 taught by my uncle and by my dad, and you 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.239 know what I became of after that, you know, as 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.600 far as going through all the politics of things that 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.120 had to go through going to the Supreme Court, you know, 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:08.519 uh and just like everybody else, you know, I started 0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:10.760 out of you know, as a DJ. You know, I 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.320 was interning at the radio station in Miami. And from that, 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.240 you know, I learned the business that way, you know, 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.680 brought down a little group, Two Live Crew, and before 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:21.680 you know it, you know, had to change what they 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:23.280 did because a lot of people that I talked about 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:24.560 in the book, a lot of people don't know Two 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.880 Live Crew probably was the first conscious rap group. You know, 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:32.520 on one side of it, yeah, it was one side 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.639 of his guy damned euriv Lot. And then the other 0:03:34.639 --> 0:03:38.200 side of it was Chris uh and and Uri wanted 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.560 to do conscious music. And then he, you know, once 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.760 I said, hey, look man, let's do this this booty 0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:44.960 shaking music with a little bit of dolo mighty in it, 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.920 mister mix was uh put it together? He was like, Nah, 0:03:48.920 --> 0:03:51.080 I ain't with it. You know he was, you know, 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.320 he's actually from Both of the guys are from Brooklyn. 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:57.960 People don't really know that, you know, uh that, Yeah, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.640 these guys are from here. And that basically how the 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:03.360 group started. And before you know it, you know, I 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.160 started going to jail and became the first person, you know, 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:09.040 hip hop artists to go to the Supreme Court. First 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.360 you were pulling your record off the shelves and record 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:15.200 stores and arresting owners of record shops for selling your record. Yeah, 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:18.960 because a federal judge, Gonzalez he uh, you know, deemed 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.440 my album I've seen and said the album was I've seen, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.720 and before you know it, you know, they started taking 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.000 the records off the shelf and uh. And then at 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:28.720 that point I was like, okay, well I don't feel 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:31.080 like that's right. So I went around the corner, did 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.680 a show at this club named for and Toura and 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.560 actually got arrested, so you know, for the charge. The 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:41.440 charge was performing that I've seen lyrics in the song. 0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.200 You do know, nowadays the stuff you used to wrap 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.799 about then wouldn't even be offensive at all to nobody 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.760 thanks to him going to the the Supreme Court. Yeah, and see, 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.640 that's the whole thing in this book, you know, because 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.080 I feel like, you know, really, I mean, keep you 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.280 one hundred. I feel like, you know, I'm the d 0:04:56.480 --> 0:05:00.000 danger feel of the music industry. You know, nobody never 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.520 I told my story, no no respect at all. I mean, 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:04.800 nobody never told a story that you know. I am 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:06.800 the person who created a hipop in the South. There 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:11.240 was no hippopta. Yes, I signed an mc shot D 0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.160 and I talked about it in the book as well, 0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:15.320 you know, and and all the different things. You know 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:18.240 that sticker you see on that. I created that parental advisory, 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:22.200 you know, because some people you know, called up and say, look, 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:24.800 the kids are getting the dirty version of it. You 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:28.479 know what you like, the Jesus of offensive material laid 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.840 on the cross. I laid on the cross and got crucified, 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.159 and nobody want to give me no credit. So I 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:36.559 basically said, look, you know it's time to do this book. 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.560 You know, I need to sect the record straight. I 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.640 need to let people understand this Miami, that they're going 0:05:41.680 --> 0:05:45.560 to this beautiful place. You know, how they displaced African Americans, 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.719 how they did people. You know, I need people to 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:49.800 know the history of the South. I need people to 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:54.080 know the history you know of Luke Records, Two Live Crew, Pitbull, Trick, 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.000 Daddy Acetown, all those all those groups that you know 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.680 we we created within that. Somebody was on a Luke record. 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.520 Yeah yeah, he did uh with lil Ze Man Liz 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:12.280 the Lollipop So you knocking the boots? Yeah that was 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.040 Carred Yeah yeah, yeah, No, I mean I got him 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.920 fresh out of jail, but he couldn't sign to you, right, yeah, 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.359 he wasn't signed to me. Well, no, I didn't sign 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.720 him up because that at that time, I was going 0:06:22.720 --> 0:06:25.359 through the Chapter eleven bankruptcy, so I didn't want to 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.400 make him property out of the state because he would 0:06:27.400 --> 0:06:30.360 have then signed to somebody else. You know, I would 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.000 have probably lost him. So I kind of saved his career. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.120 I tell you, though, I think you're the only selling 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.920 artists that got respect everywhere. I remember, not in New York. 0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.880 First came to sell out the total crazy when he 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:42.960 came to the Tunnel, But that took a long time 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.279 because before that, you talk about coming to New York 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.240 and other artists like run DMC and Public Enemy not 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:50.960 even wanting you guys to perform or open up for them. Yeah. 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.960 I talked about that in the book. I mean, because 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.560 it was like we were the guys, you know, you know, 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.640 and I and I talked about, you know, when we 0:06:58.680 --> 0:07:01.039 would go to New Music and all, you know, and 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:03.279 the guy Hank Shock, he was like, Yo, this music 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.320 is not gonna do nothing. And then I hopped up 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.039 and said, look, no, you know, this music, you know, 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:10.880 the South is gonna be forced to reckon with, you know, 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.760 at the end of the day, because you know, other 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.920 Southern artists are gonna take our lead and do certain things. 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.480 So you know, you know, I just try and give 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.680 everybody a good history lesson, you know. And I think 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.880 anybody in hirepop, especially any Southern artists, they need to 0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.200 read this book, you know. And even talking about beefs. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.240 You know, you you got beefs going on right now, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.120 which is rady G. They need to learn about how 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.160 real beef went on. You know, when we had to 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.680 deal with h you know, the fight with UH with 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.400 Snoop Dogg and Dre and all that and everything. So 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.520 how did that happen? How did you end up having 0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.920 beef with Doctor? Well it made the record to you know, 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:52.240 you know, thet yeah, all that. So then I was like, okay, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:56.400 all right, I just came out the blue. We it 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.120 was this sugar night thing going on. Well, he was 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.240 beating up. He was touching up everybody, and I was like, no, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.040 you ain't guy in Miami. Well no, he was touching 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.520 up everybody everywhere. Yeah, and then it was like, yo, 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.600 you're gonna touch Luke up. No, you ain't touching me 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.720 a boss, because yeah, I rap about this booty shaking music, 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.800 but I did live that life, you know, And I 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.080 talked about in the book that ain't somebody ain't proud of, 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.480 you know.

They're just telling them stories about 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.600 other people who they they looked up to, you know 0:08:29.640 --> 0:08:31.880 what I'm saying. So you know when they said that, 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.000 then before you know it, and now you know in 0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.400 the book we talked about those jacking the rapper, a 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.040 big fight, you know, the big gut fence and all that. 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.439 You know, those are things that went on, you know, 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:43.559 and right now to Dave, Me and Snoop and everybody 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.560 were cool.

What about French Montana 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:43.880 because I heard when he sampled your record, you didn't 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:45.760 like that too much and there was a problem with that. Yeah, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:48.120 I had. I had a little issue with that because 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.080 I felt like, you know, how to due respect if 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.600 you're gonna put that much of my voice in a 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.920 song with me still living, you know I'm not dead, right, 0:09:56.160 --> 0:10:01.040 you know you should you should call me up and like, hey, look, 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.320 but the way they kind of did it was kind of, 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.880 you know, kind of interesting because at that period of time, 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080 I did a column in my in my in the 0:10:10.120 --> 0:10:13.560 newspaper that I that I do columns with about all 0:10:13.600 --> 0:10:16.280 these rappers living in Miami, you know, the little ways 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:18.280 and all those guys of the world, that they need 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.440 to start giving back to the community. I'll be involved 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.360 in the community. So it was a little bit of 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.960 beef with that. It's like, you enjoy our beaches, you 0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:27.120 enjoy our women, you enjoy our clubs, and I'll get 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:28.920 back to the community. Yeah, if you're gonna live here, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.920 you know what, you need to do things in the community. 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:34.000 And so they didn't tell me that the song. They 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.160 asked me to come do this video like it was 0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.319 like Memorial Day weekend. They didn't They didn't tell me 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.240 about the song. They didn't tell me who's in the song. 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.319 But then I saw online that it was this Luke 0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:47.760 and Rick Ross and French Montell a new song, and 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.280 I was like, what is this? So, you know, I 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.240 kind of got a little bit of upset about it 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:54.360 and say, hey, look man, you know y'all got to 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.200 have more respect for people. You know, I don't know 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.880 what's going on this new this new hip hop business, 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:01.199 but in the old business, if you was gonna sample 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.840 somebody music all at him and that much. You know, 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:07.920 if you sample it, that's cool. But then you know, 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.680 let me know, let me hear the song or song, 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.679 let me endorse it at least record You know what 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:18.920 I got. Yeah, I didn't get a check after I 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:24.199 had a conversation with Okay you talk about yeah, that's yeah, 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.640 you know the right thing. Yeah, you know, well you 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:28.600 could have sued him if he didn't. I mean, well, 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.680 I was ready to sue the hybody, right, But you 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.080 talk about getting endor, you know, calling people. I've been saying, 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:36.240 I want to use your record interesting storing the book 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.040 Bruce Springsteen when you did band in the USA, Yeah, 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.920 I talk about that. I mean because back then, when 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.600 I was going through that, unfortunately people don't know nobody 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.200 in the here pop industry. You had my back, guys 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.440 like Salt and Pepper, you know, you name it, Kid 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:59.960 play the girls, he said, guys like that. You got boy, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.560 you got really be on your toes up in Him'll 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:06.319 know them, girl, the girls they're my friends. They're good now. 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.440 But you know they all came out against us. You know, 0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.120 oh man, this is the worst thing in the world. 0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:15.640 They need to stop it. I know right, I know, 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:17.760 you think it a ton to the time Uncle Luke 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.920 had naked Willow. He was the first, even the first 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:22.840 person to do and sometimes when your first person to 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.760 do something, it is different for people and hard for 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:29.079 them to embrace it. Yeah, they didn't understand, you know 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.840 what I'm saying, And so everybody I would I just 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:35.360 knew everybody was gonna cut in my defense to Russell Simmons, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.920 everybody in the world, but everybody basically was like kill them, 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:41.280 kill them off, you know, get rid of them. And 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.520 it kind of blew my mind at that time. But then, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.520 like I said, you know, the first person that stopped 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.280 to me, that came to me was Bruce Springsteen and 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:51.920 I talked about in the book. You know, he is 0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.040 a you know, old white guy, you know, and I'm 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.959 thinking about doing this song banned in the USA, which 0:12:57.080 --> 0:12:58.959 is born in the USA, and he was like, nah, 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.160 I'm with you. You know, I understand the struggle, and 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:04.480 so you know, I ended up doing that song with 0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.920 his blessings and having a French conversation for Free. Did 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:10.079 you get Bruce? Did you get Bruce from Free? Did 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.160 you put them on some of them lout girls? No? 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.040 We need to Bruce. You know, Bruce. Bruce probably was 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.800 on them viagraphis back then. I couldn't do that to Bruce. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.160 Come on, man, what you want me to do the 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:23.120 Bruce I'm going to corrupt Bruce springsteend. Yes, all American 0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.800 white boy, absolutely, I can't do that.

So it's all about empowering even the 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:12.520 girls in those situations, because a lot of girls, you know, 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.600 they don't want to be there, they just gotta be there. 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.800 Probably management, that's what it's all about, man. Exactly. You 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.840 got to have probably many stop saying that word so 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:26.280 we don't have to keep editing. He keeps to the 0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:28.080 club and you see an old thing that you had 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.800 and they come back. Man, nobody ground my better be 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:32.720 in the club right now, man. And they don't look 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:34.320 and they don't look as good as they used to. 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.840 Why did I ever do that? No? No, actually, let 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:41.800 me tell you, hey, I wouldn't see I would see 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.280 them in the grocery store every now and then. Damn, 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:48.080 you don't look too good right now. Yeah, but not 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.000 necessarily trip, I didn't. I didn't get down with the strippers. 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.960 I bet your Facebook in books in box popping, yeah 0:16:53.960 --> 0:17:01.600 it is, yeah, yeah, you already making pictures of the 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:08.399 old people. What is that? Remember me, Wayne, because you 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:10.080 said that you was mad that Wayne, and it wasn't 0:17:10.080 --> 0:17:12.119 giving back. Did y'all ever speak? They said, y'all done it, 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.000 blowing up cars and all kinds of stuff. Man. Oh 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:17.040 he got a little serious. Uh. But now we didn't 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:19.840 really really speak, you know. Uh. I talked to some 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:21.639 of the guys, you know, with them, because some of 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:23.760 the dudes that hang out with them are guys who 0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.920 are kind of was raised up with. But now I 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:30.160 just we we It was like, yeah, these dudes ain't 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:32.080 gonna be here too long, they're gonna clear anyway. So 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:37.960 you know, no, I didn't. I didn't feel dispect that 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:40.760 at all. It was just me telling them, look, I 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.400 don't care whether you and New Orleans or wherever you are. 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.160 I mean, that's the problem with a lot of hip 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.359 hop artists right now today. They don't feel like they 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.800 gotta be involved, you know, in the political process in 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:53.200 the community and all that. I mean we all did that. 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.119 I mean you had rocked the vote, wrapped the vote. 0:17:55.280 --> 0:18:00.760 We all got involved, whether it was Cube or Russell Simmons, anybody. 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.160 These guys don't do that nine days and that they 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:04.879 need to do that. They don't know the power that 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:07.800 they have because all these young people from eighteen to 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.639 twenty five, they have a voter registration card because they 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.360 got in and they voted on Obama. So just the 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.639 meal fact that you just go and saying, look, you know, uh, 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.040 we're gonna vote you out. You need to give the 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:23.480 schools better education, they'll they'll. You just don't know. The 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:27.400 politicians crap on themselves. I mean I do it every day, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.639 you know, because you know, we have block of voters 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.199 down there that we put guys in you know, like 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.440 one of the kids I talked about in the book, 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:38.880 one of the kids came up my program, Keyon Hardeman, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:42.600 you know he was.
