Speaker 3: sentence in Yuma, Arizona prison steaming from a cannabis conviction.

00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 3: Alisha has made it her mission to have her father

72
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: release from prison. A natural entrepreneur, she is the founder

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: of Life Changer, as a company she created when she

74
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: realized that other families like hers needed professional assistants. In

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 3: addition to her dispensary work, she plans to launch Life

76

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: guys were coming back on the show with us. And

84
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 3: I mean, how crazy of a story to have your

85
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: dad locked up in prison right now, Alicia, I mean,

86
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 3: that's gotta be tough to deal with.

87
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 4: How are you handling that? How are you trying to

88
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 4: get him out day.

89
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 5: By day, step by step, you know, having wonderful people

90
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: and organizations such as Last Prisoner Project helping support the

91
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 5: cause or push for change. You know, it's it's really

92
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 5: hard to deal with. It's surreal that I'm selling cannabis

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: and it's a billion dollar industry, but my father and

94
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 5: many others are still in prison for then for the

95
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 5: same plant.

96
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: What do we I mean? Yeah, what you know?

97
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: That's such a shame, right and listen, and I'm going

98
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: to ask you know, other questions real quick and if

99
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: if you don't mind, and you could just say pass.

100
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: But you know, I think that the assumption is is

101
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: that you know, he he must have been a career criminal.

102
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: And buyers on every must have. Yeah, there's a third offense.

103
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: And I think sometimes people you know, and whether your

104
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 2: mother hears or not, it doesn't matter because that the

105
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 2: one that got him for those those that time is

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: one that's no longer.

107
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 4: You get a twelve year sentence for cannabis, for cannabis.

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 2: Right, so and so, so, I guess the question would be,

109
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: you know, I think the people you know did he

110
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: get caught with guns?

111
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: Drugs? And is he a career criminal? And and and

112
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: and is it is? It?

113
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 6: Is?

114
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 4: It is cannabis the thing that tipped it over the edge?

115
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 4: Or is you know?

116
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: And I think that people ask that question, and I

117
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: think they, you know, Fairship.

118
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 5: Let him know, right, No, No, it's it's in some

119
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,799
Speaker 5: ways like unbelievable. Right, this man's a ten year veteran,

120
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: he's a father, a grandfather, a husband of over thirty years.

121
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 5: Did he have any priors? No, this case it just snowballs,

122
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 5: and it'll it just shows and highlights the great divide. Right,

123
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 5: They'll they'll put as many charges on you as they can.

124
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: If you darify back, it can only get worse. He

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 5: filed a putittion for Melicia's prosecution. Whereas you know, he

126
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 5: was with some boys. They were attempting to buy some cannabis.

127
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 5: Turns out to be the police. Should he have been there?

128
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 7: Not?

129
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 5: Only shouldn't have? Should they have been trying to buy cannabis? No,

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: they shouldn't have. But does it does it equate to this?

131
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 4: Because hes twelve years in prison?

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: I'm the first teary eyed, I mean shit, yeah, it

133
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: gives me furious.

134
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 4: Actually I don't get Terry. I get mad. Actually I

135
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 4: don't Charlotte. I don't get sad.

136
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: I get emotions because you haven't eaten in four days,

137
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: so you're probably will emotional.

138
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: He's been juicing for four days. Don't mind him. He

139
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 4: might have a breakdown on the show.

140
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 3: Literally probably, I mean I literally hear that, and I

141
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: just go, you know what, because I was so curious

142
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 3: to see what at least I was gonna say, because

143
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 3: you know, maybe she would.

144
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 4: We didn't know, we were preavy. Yeah, I know, I

145
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 4: love her.

146
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,040
Speaker 2: I want I want people to realize, like you know,

147
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 2: this is something that is a major problem, you know,

148
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: for us to be out here being able to have

149
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: stores over and you know, and be able to sell

150
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 2: cannabis nationally internationally wherever, and still have people in prison.

151
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: That's why the Last Prisoner's Project is so important. You

152
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 4: know what other what other?

153
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: So what are some of the steps that you guys

154
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: are taking to you know, try and obviously get your

155
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: props out and and what else is going on?

156
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: Well, we're definitely fighting and pushing on all hands right now.

157
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 5: He has a post conviction relief petition in it's going

158
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 5: through the process. We're waiting on a response from the prosecutor.

159
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 5: We also have a clemency package in Last Prisoner Project

160
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 5: has been so helpful and support us in that process,

161
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: gaining support, getting petition letters sent to the governor. I

162
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 5: would just continue to make noise. I'll never stop fighting

163
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: for him and anyone else in the situation. You know,

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 5: our story is hard and it's harsh, but coming through

165
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 5: this as unbelievable as it is, there's stories even worse

166
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 5: than ours, which prompted me to form Life Changer's Lawful.

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 5: You know, we had over a dozen paid attorneys that

168
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 5: literally did nothing, made it worse if anything, and it

169
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 5: just really opened our eyes to the injustice in the

170
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 5: system and the lack of representation. First and foremost, we

171
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: have to mount a strong defense for someone that ends

172
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 5: up in such a situation, to stop them from going

173
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 5: to prison, support them while they are there, and give

174
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 5: them a bridge when they come home. And that's my

175
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 5: motive and intention, and it's been my driveing forcing this.

176
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: How did you hook up with the Last Prisoner Project?

177
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: Berner Berner? They had done previous work together. When our

178
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 5: partnership came and I shared my story with him, he

179
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 5: took a personal interest in it and said he's going

180
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 5: to help me, and he's and he's done that to

181
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: the fullest.

182
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 4: And how did you connect with Berner?

183
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 3: Because not only that you operate a Cookie's dispensary in Tempe, Arizona.

184
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: So how did that relationship has become?

185
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 5: Say, pure grace and chance? Right, They had been looking

186
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 5: to come into the Arizona market for some time as background,

187
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 5: as I was told, and came to find out he

188
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 5: had grew up here, spent a lot of time here

189
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 5: as a child, and been looking to come into the industry.

190
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: And you know, I showed up and it popped off.

191
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: You know, it was just a great reference of time

192
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 5: and chance. They had been trying for a while and

193
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 5: I was lucky enough for us to make the partnership.

194
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 5: And as I said, he took personal interest in my

195
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 5: story and it's been a great supporter.

196
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 4: And how is the market out there for you?

197
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: Because not only do you have a father that you're

198
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: dealing with what you're talking about here, but the dispensary

199
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: out there, you're one of many out there in Arizona.

200
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: You have a big brand name behind that, and you

201
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: have your own cannabis brand that you're pushing as well.

202
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 4: How's the dispensary going for you?

203
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 5: Very well? Very well? Blessed blest, I must say, absolutely blessed.

204
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 5: We did have the biggest grand opening and air on

205
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 5: the history. There's no one that can say they've done

206
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 5: it bigger or better. It is the first Pinky's dispenser

207
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 5: in the state. And uh, the people showed up, they

208
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: showed real love and me more than appreciated. The story

209
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 5: is doing well. It's a community thing, you know. For us,

210
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: it's it's us, It's not them, it's we. We are

211
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 5: the people. And I believe our customers see that. They

212
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,959
Speaker 5: know that and they greatly supported us.

213
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: That fantastic.

214
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: Now, when you guys say that you have the biggest

215
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: you mean the most people showed up to Burner show up.

216
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: Did you guys have performances? What kind of fun stuff

217
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 2: were you guys doing there?

218
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, people came and camped out the day before around

219
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 5: the building a day or it came, stayed all day.

220
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: It was.

221
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 5: It was well over one hundred degrees that day too.

222
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 5: Let me say that heat, the heat, and they they

223
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 5: went stood the heat. But yeah, it was beautiful.

224
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: Want some water?

225
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: We had unbrosant water and misters. Yeah, we really did.

226
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 5: But the stay for hours. He stayed for hours, shaking hands,

227
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 5: signing autographs. It was beautiful. It was truly historic.

228
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome. You're doing a great job out there.

229

230
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: about your dad. I mean, is there anything that's showing signs?

259
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: talking about her father and everything else.

260
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 4: And now we have Stephanie.

261
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: And for those who don't remember, Stephanie had that ten

262
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: year sentence when she was forty one years old and

263
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: missed out on so much of her life and this

264
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 3: and that Heady's over.

265
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 4: There barking at people.

266
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 3: Sorry for that, ladies, but step I mean, how did

267
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 3: you and Alicia hook up?

268
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 6: Like Alicia said, uh?

269
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 7: With past dealings with Berner, Berner reached out to us

270
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 7: specifically and asked for our support and supporting Alicia's father.

271
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 6: He hooked us up with Alicia.

272
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 7: Alicia and I did a blog post for the Last

273
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 7: Prisoner Project website and it did so well, Like her

274
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 7: story is so compelling, and I was able to sit

275
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 7: and talk to her for I think I had blocked

276
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 7: out maybe forty five minutes, and we ended up talking

277
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 7: like two hours, because not only is her journey with

278
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 7: her father so impactful, but her story.

279
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 6: Alone is impactful.

280
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 7: So I was able to just get parts of both

281
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 7: of these aspects of her life and it was amazing,

282
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 7: and I just wanted to shout her out and tell

283
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 7: you what a wonder full representation of what black women

284
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 7: in this industry looks like.

285
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: And you're doing a great job. When I came home,

286
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 6: I didn't.

287
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 7: Think I would see so many strong women and women

288
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 7: of color in this industry and doing well. So graps

289
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 7: on that. But that's how we hooked up, and it's

290
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 7: been really impactful for me.

291
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 6: It's why I do what I do.

292
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not only that I do.

293
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: Like what you said, there's stuff where and you see

294
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: women in power and empowerment and especially not only that,

295
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 3: but let's just call it what it is minority women, right.

296
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: You see a black woman doing hery thing and you

297
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: just get out of prison, and she's doing it with cannabis,

298
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: and you went to prison for cannabis. And it's like, wait,

299
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 3: wait a minute, she's out there killing it, she's out

300
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: there working her eye just oh.

301
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: Really doing it.

302
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's got to be awesome for you

303
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: step to see that. And then on the flip side,

304
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: you think of Alicia's dead when my daughter's sitting there

305
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: working with Berner bringing it. She has a cannabis brand

306
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 3: and dispensary, and I'm busting for not even really doing shit.

307
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: I mean, this story, you're right, is just such a twisted, crazy,

308
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 3: emotional roller coaster. And that's what I love about The

309
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 3: Last Prisoner Project because you guys get your hands around

310
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 3: some of the craziest stories of like why.

311
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: Are they even in there? What do you mean? Right?

312
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 3: And it's almost to the point where if you lay

313
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 3: everything out like you guys have laid out this story,

314
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 3: it's like, huh, why don't they just pull a let.

315
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: Them out card? Well? How hard is that?

316
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: And I think, you know, ladies, if you can maybe

317
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: help me understand this, I mean, how many people have

318
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 2: lost prisoners projects been a part of helping getting out.

319
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: One and two is you know, how does this process

320
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: even begin? I mean like it's like, I mean, how

321
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: do we even have this conversation? I mean right, I

322
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: mean it doesn't make any sense.

323
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 4: Like what's our first steps?

324
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: Because there's more than just Alicia's dad out there that's

325
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 3: doing this. So if you're listening, going, how could I

326
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: start the ball? What is the Last Prisoner Project? What

327
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: can I go to them with?

328
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 6: What?

329
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 4: You know? How could I help myself and my family

330
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: with a loved one in prison? Right now?

331
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 7: It's reach out because really Last Prisoner Project has only

332
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 7: grown through word of mouth. So as the years have passed,

333
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 7: we're almost on our fifth year in existence, people have said, hey,

334
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 7: I like that mission, how can I help? So then

335
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 7: we've gained support and thankfully we've been.

336
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 6: Able to have ambassadors who have large.

337
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 7: Platforms like be Real and Stephen and Damian Marley and

338
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 7: Bill Maherin, just Jimbalushi, different people, different platforms.

339
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: Different.

340
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, there you go and reaching and reaching out to people.

341
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 7: So through word of mouth, people if they have a

342
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 7: loved one, they can go to our website and we

343
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 7: have am there that they can fill out and through

344
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 7: that form we can get the ball rolling. We do

345
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 7: work with victimless cannabis prisoners, so people who once they

346
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 7: go through the background check and they pass, you know,

347
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 7: all the requirements, then they get put on our letter

348
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 7: writing program where they can receive letters from supporters, which

349
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 7: has it's like a small thing, but it's like huge

350
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 7: if you're in prison, especially during the holidays and things

351
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 7: like that. Then we have commissaries support, which is a

352
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 7: large part of where donations go, putting money on their

353
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 7: accounts to help out because prison is expensive, we know that.

354
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 7: And family support because instantly someone's probably left home a

355
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 7: caregiver or a single parent, so being able to assist

356
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 7: them help in the overall help of how they're going

357
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 7: to move forward in their sentencing or working to get out.

358
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: Wow.

359
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 6: So that's a great way.

360
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 7: Policy change, of course, that's the route, that's what.

361
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 6: Is an ongoing day to day.

362
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 7: The other support, the re entry support, that's great, But

363
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 7: the policy work that's being done to change these laws

364
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 7: surrounding cannabis is really what's important.

365
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 4: And how do people get involved in helping that the change.

366
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 7: We have so many different ways. We have a take

367
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 7: action page on our website.

368
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 6: You can go there.

369
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 7: You can support clemency petitions like Alicia's dad, you can

370
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 7: support Antonio Wyatt. You can get different assets that you

371
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 7: can share with the facts because so many people really

372
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 7: don't know that people are in prison for cannabis, like

373
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 7: I do so many events and pop ups, and people

374
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 7: are shocked when I when I start talking to them

375
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 7: and explain, not only are people in.

376
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 6: Prison, there are people doing life. There are people doing

377
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 6: far too many years.

378
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 2: And this is victimless too, right, Because I heard you

379
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 2: say that, which is very important for people to understand.

380
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 2: Is you know and and can you explain what that

381
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 2: means to the average Joe, because I think that's important.

382
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 6: It is.

383
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 7: Some people would say non violent, but that's kind of

384
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 7: stigmatizing a group of people that we don't know their situation.

385
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 6: We don't know just because there.

386
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 7: Was violence in their case doesn't mean it was violent.

387
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 6: It could be.

388
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 7: Something as simple as someone was trying to get away

389
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: and they bumped into a.

390
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 6: Police officer and violent. And that's so that's.

391
00:19:55,119 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 7: Why victimless speaks more to the cannabis experience.

392
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 6: I like it, and what that is we don't there's.

393
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 7: I don't feel I had any victims in my case,

394
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 7: so to stamp it as a violent crime is tough.

395
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 7: But I don't know a lot of people's situation and

396
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 7: we don't. So it's just because they may have some

397
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 7: violence in their charge doesn't mean they're violent or that.

398
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 6: You just really have to peel back the layers.

399
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, and I appreciate that because you do have

400
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: to peel back those layers.

401
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 4: You have to dive into the case, you have to

402
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 4: read into it.

403
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 2: You can't just make this up, you know, you know,

404
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: you don't want to waste your time on energy on

405
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 2: the wrong people. But but I'm sure there are there

406
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 2: are plenty of people out there like yourself, and it

407
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: can Let me ask you this because I think this

408
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 2: is important, you know, because I I is this a

409
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: you know something that like when yours was there? Did

410
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: they call it, uh not victimless, but did they call

411
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: it you know, violence and non violent?

412
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 4: Did was yours violent? Did they call yours violent? Or

413
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 4: is it? Was it a non?

414
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 7: No? They tried to obviously introduce aspects of my past,

415
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 7: like they do. Something that happened at nineteen, They threw

416
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 7: that in there, and something that happened at my ex's barbecue.

417
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 7: They threw that in there, so they try to paint

418
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 7: this picture of you that's just not accurate for the majority,

419
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 7: I would have to say of cannabis prisoners.

420
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I understand that.

421
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 2: You know, I've been in that rat rodeo a few

422
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 2: times myself, and all my my, you know, good things

423
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: that I've done went out the window and all the ball.

424
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 4: Nobody gives a shit about that. Once you break the

425
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 4: law like that, they're on you.

426
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just ridiculous how the laws have changed

427
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: so much right now, and you look at what Stephanie

428
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 3: went through and now she's out there helping people. I

429
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: just love the fact that you're such an advocate, Stephanie

430
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: and still doing it.

431
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 4: How long have you been out now?

432
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 7: I have been out since uh February sixth, twenty nineteen graduation, and.

433
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,120
Speaker 6: I'm still on five years probation.

434
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: So you and the homes that you got an ankle,

435
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: that's why you got the ankle bracelet on.

436
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 3: She's like, I couldn't come because I can't go that far.

437
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 3: I can't pass rose to tell you that twenty nineteen,

438
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 3: you don't hurt your back front step when you can't

439
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: walk past.

440
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 2: That's right, No, I do not have it.

441
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 7: Got one?

442
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 4: You better put them both up, girl, open.

443
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 5: You know what.

444
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 6: We laugh at that.

445
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 7: But when I had two weeks to find a job

446
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 7: when I got out, I had to go to a

447
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 7: job interview with an ankle monitor on, and I had

448
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 7: to explain why I can't stay a minute later, you

449
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 7: know then I'm supposed to, and why I have to

450
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 7: be home at this exact time or else I am

451
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 7: to violate and.

452
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 6: Those violations and can send you right back.

453
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 4: So, yeah, job.

454
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 6: Even after Alicia's dad gets home. There's obstacles just getting

455
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 6: re entered into society, and.

456
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 4: The Last Prison Project helps with that, correct.

457
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 6: We do. We do provide re entry grants. So one

458
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 6: of the main things we.

459
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 7: Had several impacted people on our staff, and the one

460
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 7: thing that we all agreed on was the most important thing,

461
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 7: beyond programs or anything else, is being able to have

462
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 7: a roof over your head, have clothes on your back.

463
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 7: And some people have been in for a while they

464
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 7: have nothing. Christian Reichhardt is coming home within the next

465
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 7: couple of weeks and he's done eight nine years almost,

466
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 7: so he doesn't have socks underwear.

467
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: So does he have a family to land to or

468
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: anything he does, but.

469
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 7: His mom has advocated for him so fiercely. And it's

470
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 7: women like Tina Wrichhart and Alicia that tell me, well,

471
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 7: if they're going this hard, we can.

472
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:24,679

00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: Alicia Dials, owner and CEO of Life Changers, The Phoenician

529
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 3: Find Cannabis. How did you get into cannabis? Alicia as

530
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: being a career and creating a brand. And I heard

531
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 3: how you met Berner, But what led you in that direction?

532
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 5: The Social Equity Program is what led me into the industry. Truly,

533
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 5: I was I was in nursing. I was going from

534
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 5: in nursing science. Life took its different turns and the

535
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: program came up. I heard about it, its qualifications and

536
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 5: its and its motives and intentions to give back to

537
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 5: people that had been affected by the War on drugs.

538
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 5: So when I heard about the program, I told my dad, like,

539
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 5: this is for us here in Arizona. They did a

540
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 5: literal lottery. You know, you apply. Over fifteen hundred people applied.

541
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 5: They only pulled twenty six people. So when we were

542
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 5: going through the process, I told him, Dad, you know,

543
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: we're going to do it and we're going to win.

544
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 5: It's not a game before us. It's a guarantee. If

545
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 5: anybody deserves it, we do. And we applied the licensing program.

546
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 5: In total, it was about a year or so, some

547
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 5: some classes, some things like that, and then a lot

548
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:20,239
Speaker 5: of waiting. Right, we're waiting. We're waiting, and finally the

549
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 5: day came. The day came and they pulled our number

550
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 5: and we won and the most gratulation.

551
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 2: That's such a big deal. You know, Okay, I got

552
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: a story for it. Continue though, please.

553
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 5: Okay, I must say, like the irony, there is no

554
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 5: form of irony. I don't believe anything happens by mistake

555
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 5: or by chance. It's all in divine order. We formed

556
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 5: Life Changers on eleven, eleven twenty one. My father was

557
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 5: in his eleventh year of his prison sentence. They pulled

558
00:28:54,520 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: us any other factors, no one can cannot tell me.

559
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 5: This is a divine opportunity to bring change, change in

560
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 5: the industry, change in our family's lives, and change for others.

561
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: You know what, man, I'll bless you guys for that,

562
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,719
Speaker 2: and and and you deserve it. You and your family

563
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 2: do deserve this, you know, And and you know it's

564
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 2: it's funny. I I went to Arizona and went and

565
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: entered into that same lottery, not not for the.

566
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 4: Uh, you know, the.

567
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 2: Social social equity, I'm sorry, not for social equity, but

568
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 2: for I bought the lot of tickets, you know, to

569
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: get out there.

570
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: And do you remember that application for Arizona when it

571
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: first hit.

572
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am a Phoenician born and raised here in

573
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 5: the valley. So yeah, I've seen these several drawings that

574
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 5: they did, and yeah, they did a lottery every time.

575
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was in one of them.

576
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't win it, obvious, Yeah, but I

577
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: ended up winning one here and I got one here

578
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 2: in Los Angeles to here in Los Angeles, and and

579
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: some grows in Arizona and stuff like that. But you know,

580
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 2: but it was it was very interesting because I was

581
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 2: out there during the process and I remember how difficult

582
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: it was and congratulations.

583
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 4: I know, you know.

584
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: I was driving back and forth and they were calling it.

585
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: I don't know that we call it green zones here.

586
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: They call them something else over there, the transa or

587
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: the I forgot what they call where they zoned it

588
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 2: in certain ways, but there was certain zone. My brother's

589
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: out in Holbrook, Arizona, and he's got some grows out there,

590
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: their license and stuff like that. So I'm very familiar

591
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 2: with it, and I know how difficult it is. You know,

592
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 2: tell us about the how you guys once you guys

593
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: actually linked up with your social equity and you you

594
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: you you won the number eleven on the eleventh term

595
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: at the eleventh hour, eleventh here.

596
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, come on, that's the best. Uh, I've never heard.

597
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 4: That's that's I mean ironic with numbers and times.

598
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 2: I got goosebumps all over me when you said that.

599
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 2: I love it, you know. So do you guys, do

600
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 2: you guys feel that like, uh, the cookies team helped

601
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 2: bring you guys some you know, good uh like processes

602
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 2: and procedures for the company things like that, or were

603
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: you guys already established before.

604
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: You met with them? How does that like that look?

605
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 6: Well?

606
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, I mean a great brand. You know, they're

607
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 5: doing it big all over the country, all over the

608
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 5: world and at this point. So yeah, I was very

609
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: fortunate to fall in with that brand. The process, like

610
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 5: you said, just navigating uh through the license and process

611
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 5: in and of itself was difficult. I did that on

612
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: own right. This program, I must say it. Vultures is

613
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 5: the simplest way to say it. There were a lot

614
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 5: of vultures that hovered over this program and simply prayed

615
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 5: on people. Out of the twenty six people or the

616
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 5: twenty six licenses pulled, I am the only still standing remaining.

617
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 4: Owners and only.

618
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 5: Wow yeah, yeah, yeah one. In many many ways, Uh,

619
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 5: the irony, like I said, it's no form of irony,

620
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 5: it's it's it's divine, it's divinity. It's hard in the

621
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 5: first place. And then a lot of the people, yeah,

622
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 5: they they were swindled into partnering with large companies from

623
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: the beginning, signed documents that literally took everything from them.

624
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 5: People lost everything before they ever had a chance. And then,

625
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 5: like you say about zoning, there are a lot of uh,

626
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 5: stipulations placed on us, a lot of roadblocks. Being the

627
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 5: first recreational license and pulling it left us out to

628
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 5: dry with zoning. You know, how do you tell someone

629
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,080

630
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,440

Speaker 5: do a text amendment. What you know, you tell me

632
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,000

Speaker 5: for a facility. It was, it was, it was. It

635
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: was harsh. It was harsh, but by the grace of God,

636
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 5: I made it and made it out whole. As I said,

637
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,160
