<v Speaker 3>It's just one of them days, man, you know, I'm

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:20.840
<v Speaker 3>just pushing through today, just pushing through.

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:24.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I'll tell you, boy, It's been a lot during

0:00:24.360 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 4>the holidays season. You know, a lot of things happen

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:33.560
<v Speaker 4>to people, folks who are suffering with, you know, being

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:37.520
<v Speaker 4>unable to access friends and family because they are incarcerated

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 4>or you know whatever away maybe even in the military

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 4>or somewhere that they can't be with them. And then

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 4>you have people who've lost loved ones. I know you've

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 4>lost your mom, and it's tough time during the holidays.

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.800
<v Speaker 4>And I was having a conversation earlier today with Yandy

0:00:55.840 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 4>about all the other things that we have been facing

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 4>as a movement family. One family member in the hospital,

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:09.040
<v Speaker 4>w amputations, excuse me, w double amputations, another friend whose

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:11.720
<v Speaker 4>family as well passed away, And it's just been so

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 4>much that we have personally been dealing with. And you know,

0:01:14.920 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 4>Yande's obviously close to us and knows everybody and has

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.880
<v Speaker 4>been checking in every day on the different situations, the

0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 4>roller coaster that we've been on. And as she and

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:28.319
<v Speaker 4>I were talking, how do we help the children that

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 4>are remaining from the friend who's deceased, how do we

0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 4>help the other friend who's amputated deal with this new

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 4>life that he now faces. I was looking at her,

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.559
<v Speaker 4>and she's getting her hair done and her hairstyles. Who's

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.720
<v Speaker 4>our friend also, Bryant. He was, you know, doing his

0:01:46.760 --> 0:01:50.200
<v Speaker 4>professional job, not minding our business and our conversation, which

0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 4>he often does. And then I looked at him and

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.640
<v Speaker 4>I thought, oh, Brian, wow, your mom passed away around

0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 4>this time as well, and he was just it's like, yep,

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 4>and it's really really, really really hard. And so it's

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 4>just like you want to be excited because you got

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 4>the trees and the lights and the things and people

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 4>coming together and you know, the good songs, good music,

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 4>but at the end of the day, the pain of

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:22.040
<v Speaker 4>all of what takes place, especially end of year, has

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 4>been hitting us really really really hard.

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 2>It's really been a lot.

0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 3>Man. So well, my friend, you know, he actually lives

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 3>in my building, so you know, just seeing him and

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 3>then no, excuse me, and then going to the hospital

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>to visit him, and just like you said, seeing him

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 3>without legs was a lot. And then a couple of

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 3>hours after that, we found out that our friend Kevin,

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:49.079
<v Speaker 3>you know, passed away, who was our friend and our

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 3>driver and our Conford on security, like you know, he

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 3>just does so he meant so much to us.

0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 2>So all of these things.

0:02:57.240 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Is happening at one time, and then just you know,

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>just the ills and spilled of just life and the

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 3>movement and the work that we do all all the time,

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 3>you know, and just trying to, like you said, trying

0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 3>to be happy.

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 2>During this time.

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 3>You know, have sons and grandson and you know you

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 3>want to be happy and joyous and festive for them.

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 3>But then you deal with all of these things. So

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:21.960
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's just's you know what, I'm gonna figure

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 3>it out. I'm gonna keep on moving, you know, I'm

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 3>gonna take a looking and keep on ticket, you know,

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 3>because that's what careful one anyway, you want us to

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 3>continue to move on. You know, he believed in the

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>work that we do that we do, and you know,

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.840
<v Speaker 3>and he always was supportive of us and right there

0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 3>with us. So you know, we just got to keep

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 3>on this training gonna stop. We gotta keep on moving

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.800
<v Speaker 3>because we now we just have more angels man and

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 3>just we and we're praying for our brother Roman to

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 3>make us a recovery, you know.

0:03:49.760 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And so it's just.

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot, yeah it is.

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 4>But just to all those people who are out there

0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 4>facing this holiday season with challenges, not having the resources

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 4>that you wish you had to take care of things

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.520
<v Speaker 4>that you want to do, not even to go out

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.120
<v Speaker 4>and spurge and buy up the world, but just to

0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.440
<v Speaker 4>have the right meals to cook, prepare for your family,

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 4>or the right ways to you know, come together and

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 4>celebrate and feel just comfortable in your skin. It's a

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:23.040
<v Speaker 4>rough time.

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I went.

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:28.200
<v Speaker 4>I was really trying to go see my son and

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 4>his family for a couple of days leading up to

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.719
<v Speaker 4>Christmas rather than mailing stuff and for my granddaughter because

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 4>I don't buy Christmas gifts for anybody, but I want

0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 4>her to have little things for me for the holiday.

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.479
<v Speaker 4>And I said, well, I'll just go there and we'll

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.040
<v Speaker 4>run around together and find her little things.

0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>And the plane.

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:53.359
<v Speaker 4>Ticket literally is nine hundred dollars for me to get

0:04:53.400 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 4>from New York City to Atlanta and back it's outrageous.

0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 4>So people who even want it get somewhere don't even

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.880
<v Speaker 4>have the resources that they need to be able to

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 4>do it. Because if I can't do it, and I'm

0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.279
<v Speaker 4>a person that has resources, and I'm not gonna spend

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 4>nine hundred dollars to go somewhere to spend more money,

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 4>like that's it. It doesn't make sense. So I don't

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 4>know what I'm gonna do. I don't know if I'm

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 4>gonna go, you know, I don't know how I'm like

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 4>does they say Tuesdays is the low day for tickets

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.560
<v Speaker 4>and meanwhile, this is Tuesday that I'm searching and the

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.360
<v Speaker 4>tickets are skyrocketing.

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>So it's just it's just heavy, you know.

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 4>And I can imagine that there's somebody who's listening to

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:37.920
<v Speaker 4>Day that's like, wow, thank you for seeing me, you

0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.440
<v Speaker 4>know and seeing my situation.

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So that's that. On that.

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.479
<v Speaker 4>Just wanting to quick quick quick thought of the day today.

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 4>I saw ray J. We saw ray J out the

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 4>other night, rolling out weekend and we saw him out

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 4>and he's ray J all the time, and you know,

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.040
<v Speaker 4>I was looking at him thinking to myself, you know,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:01.640
<v Speaker 4>we've known ray Ja for some time now, like.

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.880
<v Speaker 1>He's a really really really good brother. So he's our brother.

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 4>He's a good brother, and you know, I know it

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 4>must be difficult when you are coming. You know, you're

0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.600
<v Speaker 4>in a situation where you're talented and he's very creative

0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 4>from a business perspective, and so many things happen in

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 4>life that aggravates you along the way. So when we

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:29.520
<v Speaker 4>saw him, I'm like listen telling him basically, ray J,

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 4>please please please please don't talk to the internet. It's

0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 4>not a real place. Like the internet is not a

0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 4>real place. It is a space where people want nothing

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 4>more than to just hear what you were saying so

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 4>they can feel they can act like they feel sorry

0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 4>for you, but really just talk about you and gossip

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 4>and you know, and just like piece together your life

0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 4>and then try to demean you, bring you down. Judge

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.640
<v Speaker 4>that statement. We listen and we do not judge. The

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 4>Internet listens and it judges all the time, and that's

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 4>just what it is. And I understand that when you

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 4>need to use the Internet as a tool for messaging

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 4>or to deal with issues, that's one thing. But just

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 4>thinking that you could turn that Internet on and go

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 4>there as if these people care or as if these

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 4>people can support you and bringing them into your personal life.

0:07:27.400 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, ray J, please just don't do it, and

0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 4>he's like, you know, I know. But sometimes I just

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.560
<v Speaker 4>be happy to let people know because people trying to

0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 4>play with me and I ain't playing. And I said,

0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 4>I get what you're saying, but still still it's not

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 4>a real place. So I was happy to see my

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 4>brother and much love to him. I know myself sometimes

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 4>I want to just turn the camera on and go

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:54.800
<v Speaker 4>because it's so many different things and people saying this

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.360
<v Speaker 4>and saying that, and everybody know more than you will

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 4>box your business and you know, and I'm sure as

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 4>he tries to climb and be successful in what he's doing,

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 4>it always feels like it's somebody or some force pulling

0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 4>and shifting us in different directions and working against us.

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 4>And I was thinking, like to you know, today, my

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 4>thought of the day for everybody who's listening is that

0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.800
<v Speaker 4>the internet is not your friend.

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>The people on the internet.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 4>You can talk to them when you need to try

0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 4>to help to galvanize.

0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>People, but to think that these folks.

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 4>Are a part of your healing process, or that they

0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:43.320
<v Speaker 4>are a part of your support system, that is not

0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:46.560
<v Speaker 4>who they are. They literally sent to trol you and

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 4>to judge you and to find ways to pick, nitpick

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:55.840
<v Speaker 4>and destroy you. And the Internet holds everything in the database.

0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 4>So in the next however many days, years, months, years,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 4>or sometime, they will remind you in the midst of

0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 4>another thing, about this other thing that happened to you

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 4>some time ago that you moved on from. So the

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Internet it's not a real place to me, It's really not.

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.160
<v Speaker 4>I think it should be used as a tool, but

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 4>it is definitely not a place to think that is

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 4>for your friends.

0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, you know what I would say, I don't think

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:25.440
<v Speaker 3>ray J thinks it's a place for your friends. I

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 3>think RAYJ is trying to capitalize. I think when you

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 3>look at the new venture he has, you know what

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:36.040
<v Speaker 3>the network he has, what that network is based on

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:40.920
<v Speaker 3>RAYJ he created. Now he has like a news platform

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.400
<v Speaker 3>where he talks about the news, and he talks about

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:47.040
<v Speaker 3>the most relationous things, and he creates viral moments. And

0:09:47.120 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 3>I think ray J is intentionally doing it so he

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 3>knows how to play like is not intentional.

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 2>He knows how to play like.

0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.080
<v Speaker 3>He's really angry on this, but he's figured out just

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 3>like the Zeus Network is I forgot the name of

0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:03.840
<v Speaker 3>his his network, but he's creating a network that that

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 3>rivals the Zeus Network, which they the Baddies and they

0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 3>got all these fights and they got everything from the

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Internet and all types of stuff.

0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's what ray J is doing.

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:14.920
<v Speaker 3>So when I look at it, people like Reyj is

0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 3>bugget No, ray J is very smart. Ray J is

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:21.840
<v Speaker 3>intentionally creating you know, content, content like they said, they said,

0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 3>so everything is content. Ray J is creating content so

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 3>people can talk about it, so then he can he

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.960
<v Speaker 3>can shift it over to his channel and he can make.

0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Money the Tronics Network. And I and I hear you.

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Because you know, certainly he's like, you know, I'm fine,

0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, I'm I'm working through what people think they

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:44.960
<v Speaker 4>want to play with me.

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm not playing this and that I get it.

0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 4>And I hear what you're saying that he definitely as

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.160
<v Speaker 4>a business person, he knows how to troll the Internet

0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 4>just the way people know how to troll him.

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And it all builds a moment. But I also see

0:10:59.440 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>the pain.

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.560
<v Speaker 4>I see it, you know, I can see where there

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 4>are days when he's just frustrating and hurting and going

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 4>through things just like the rest of us.

0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.240
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is the tool you.

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Use for most of your communication, you also find yourself

0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 4>using it in moments when you really are hurting. So

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.480
<v Speaker 4>if you're a person that sits there and you drink

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 4>a lot, you scroll a lot, you drug a lot,

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.959
<v Speaker 4>you watch pouring a lot, you cry a lot, you

0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 4>talk a lot, you fight a lot, whatever it is

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 4>that you do regularly. So if it's trolling and that's

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 4>what you do when you're hurting or you're going through things,

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 4>you can find yourself also in that mode. And so

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.079
<v Speaker 4>what I'm just saying because already we he and I

0:11:44.120 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 4>already talk, then you know he loves to debate, and

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 4>so that's another thing that we give from him all

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 4>the time. But I wanted to but I also wanted

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 4>him to know that I feel when I'm watching it

0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 4>that it's not just trolling to build a network, But

0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:05.880
<v Speaker 4>there's also some issues of pain that you deal with

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:10.120
<v Speaker 4>from different things being creative, having people you know, either

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 4>not believe in your dream or think that you number

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:16.320
<v Speaker 4>two to somebody else or whatever that you also have

0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 4>are fighting against. And I just and I know that

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 4>that happens to all of us in different ways. And

0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.760
<v Speaker 4>so I was just saying to people who are out there,

0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 4>like and to him, and to myself, and definitely to

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:31.680
<v Speaker 4>you and to our next guest that's coming up, that

0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 4>the Internet is just it's not a real place. Like

0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 4>it's just not you know, it's not. I watch people

0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:44.120
<v Speaker 4>break from trying to go up against people on the

0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 4>Internet all day trying to make their point.

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>And you can never ever ever make your.

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:55.880
<v Speaker 4>Point to something that is designed literally designed to pick

0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:59.439
<v Speaker 4>away and pick aparture point. And so you could argue

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:01.560
<v Speaker 4>in the comments section all day, all day, all day,

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.400
<v Speaker 4>you control, you could talk, you could this, that and

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.840
<v Speaker 4>the third. But there are people who have nothing to

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 4>do that will argue back more than you.

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Can communicate with them.

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.000
<v Speaker 4>And you find yourself spending so much time trying to

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:17.599
<v Speaker 4>make this thing work and end up taking away a

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.440
<v Speaker 4>lot of time from working what you're supposed to be working.

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's just my phones.

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.720
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I don't, I don't. I don't say that

0:13:27.760 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 3>you're wrong. I believe to a certain degree that pretty

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 3>much is not. And I say this all the time.

0:13:32.960 --> 0:13:34.440
<v Speaker 3>You know, a lot of stuff has been going on

0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 3>in the Internet lately.

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>You know people.

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, I was going to actually make that my

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 3>daughter the day, I mean, my I don't get it,

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.480
<v Speaker 3>but you brought it up. So I think we need

0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.400
<v Speaker 3>to have a deeper conversation about this, you know, and

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.120
<v Speaker 3>and really just talk about the internet because people are

0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 3>bringing their personal issues to their you know, family issues,

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.760
<v Speaker 3>this every people are bringing every bit of their issues

0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.520
<v Speaker 3>to it. So is it is it useful? Is it progressive?

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:02.280
<v Speaker 3>Is it more beneficial? Like I don't I don't know.

0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 3>You know, I come from a school of where, you know,

0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:10.960
<v Speaker 3>we we we we kept our personal business within the household,

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 3>within the people that knew about it. We didn't put

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 3>we didn't even take our personal business to our friends

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:16.439
<v Speaker 3>in the streets.

0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 2>So now when you when you're bringing.

0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.800
<v Speaker 3>Your personal bringing people who don't know you or don't

0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:25.920
<v Speaker 3>care about you into your home, into your bedroom, into

0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 3>your life, into your kid's life, you know, I don't

0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 3>know if that's I don't know if that's something that's okay.

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 3>People seem that it seems to be like a normal

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:36.400
<v Speaker 3>thing these days.

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:37.160
<v Speaker 5>Away.

0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think I think that's a new norm.

0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 3>And I think, you know, as much as it bothers us,

0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 3>people have you know, people have gravitated to this new

0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 3>style of communication and new you know, they've normalized this

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:54.280
<v Speaker 3>new thing. So I don't know. I don't know if

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.720
<v Speaker 3>in the long one is it does it? Is it healthy?

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Is it good for you? You know, I don't think

0:14:58.880 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 3>it's good for me.

0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't.

0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't think nobody that I don't know or don't

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 3>care about me should have access to information about my

0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 3>personal life. I just don't think so, because now they're

0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 3>able to utilize that and bring it up and do

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.320
<v Speaker 3>all types of things with it, and I'm at a disadvantage.

0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.520
<v Speaker 4>But you know, in your comment section every day we

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 4>should get to our guests, But in your comment section

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:25.280
<v Speaker 4>every day, I see people like, no matter what the

0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 4>true story is, oh, you rob the cab driver, and

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.640
<v Speaker 4>they know. They know because they've read, they've seen, they've

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 4>heard other people talk about what happened in that situation.

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:38.520
<v Speaker 4>People know very well, Like community people who live in

0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 4>the area where this took place, are very clear. All

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 4>of your friends and everybody knows that you didn't rob

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 4>the cab driver. But just because the narrative is out there,

0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 4>because people know about it, they're gonna constantly try to

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 4>use it. To prick at your emotions, and you have

0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 4>gotten much better. But there was a point where you

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:03.680
<v Speaker 4>would be like, fuck are they talking about you know?

0:16:03.960 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 4>And I've gone through that as well in different ways, Like,

0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, the worst thing in the world at one point,

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:13.560
<v Speaker 4>I don't deal with that now, was for people to

0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 4>come in my comments section and be like, oh, you're

0:16:15.440 --> 0:16:18.600
<v Speaker 4>an anti Semite. It's like, that was horrible for people

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.360
<v Speaker 4>to say that about me, knowing it wasn't true, knowing

0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:22.800
<v Speaker 4>that you know, I don't.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 1>It just was a lot of factors, you know that.

0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 4>So anyway, I have to tell when I'm saying this,

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:32.360
<v Speaker 4>because like I told you, I loved ray J deeply,

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 4>and you know, I just watch him and I love

0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 4>to see how.

0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:38.200
<v Speaker 1>Smart he is.

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.640
<v Speaker 4>You said that he's like brilliant, and you could tell

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 4>just by the way he moves, the way he talks,

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.880
<v Speaker 4>his business acumen and all of that. I love that.

0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 4>So I ain't talking about just him. It just was

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:51.120
<v Speaker 4>a thought that came to me from my conversation with him,

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 4>to minister to myself that these people on this thing,

0:16:57.320 --> 0:17:00.400
<v Speaker 4>they're not the people I'm really actually trying to talk to. Actually,

0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 4>we have to spend a little bit more time in

0:17:02.160 --> 0:17:04.920
<v Speaker 4>this season with all of the loss around us, trying

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.440
<v Speaker 4>to get closer to the people who we can actually touch,

0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:08.800
<v Speaker 4>the people we really do know.

0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:14.280
<v Speaker 3>So today, so now we come to my music segment,

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, and this music segment is where I find

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 3>a song that I feel is just so relevant right now.

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>And we've been talking.

0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.520
<v Speaker 3>About the Internet today and it's crazy that we were

0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 3>talking about the Internet, and my new song Internet Niggas

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:31.520
<v Speaker 3>is for you.

0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Internet Niggas's talking about all of.

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 3>The people on the Internet that come into the comments,

0:17:38.080 --> 0:17:41.639
<v Speaker 3>that talk crazy, They make threats, they talk about your mama,

0:17:41.720 --> 0:17:43.920
<v Speaker 3>they say they gonna kill you, they say the worst

0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:44.480
<v Speaker 3>thing in.

<v Speaker 3>With no life at all, and if you're not smart enough,

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.000
<v Speaker 3>they'll actually have you going back and forth with them.

0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.000

<v Speaker 4>Coming up next is our guest, Trade of Truth. He

0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:23.200
<v Speaker 4>has a pretty sad situation going on. I'll talk about brother,

0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 4>our friend, our friend. I'll talk a little bit about

0:19:26.760 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 4>what's happening in Trade's life. That's next, all right, So

0:19:33.520 --> 0:19:40.479
<v Speaker 4>today our brother has joined us, and I am it

0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 4>is like a deeply personal, painful time but also very

0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.119
<v Speaker 4>happy to have our brother joining us because he hasn't

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 4>been with us this year.

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it may maybe so, but certainly not enough.

0:19:56.440 --> 0:19:58.600
<v Speaker 4>We haven't all been able to really spend the type

0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:02.960
<v Speaker 4>of time that we need to spend together. And so

0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.199
<v Speaker 4>I'm happy to have you here today, Trey. I know

0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.719
<v Speaker 4>that my song would say the same. But also the

0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 4>circumstances for which we come together are definitely stressful, painful,

0:20:16.520 --> 0:20:20.720
<v Speaker 4>and and so there's that going on, and so I

0:20:20.800 --> 0:20:22.800
<v Speaker 4>wanted to just make sure to acknowledge that.

0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:25.000
<v Speaker 1>And also for those of you who may not.

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:30.199
<v Speaker 4>Know who Trade is, Trade the Truth, our brother from Houston, Texas,

0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:34.320
<v Speaker 4>who also who was also an international leader and humanitarian

0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:39.879
<v Speaker 4>and artist, musical map what do you call it?

0:20:40.040 --> 0:20:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Musical genius.

0:20:42.440 --> 0:20:45.119
<v Speaker 4>I've never met anybody that can do a whole album

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:47.520
<v Speaker 4>in two or three days and it actually.

0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Be like real good music.

0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.920
<v Speaker 4>But these brothers they diss the type of stuff that

0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.960
<v Speaker 4>my song and Trade do. And so TREYE we met

0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.480
<v Speaker 4>some years ago and started working together on justice issues,

0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:04.399
<v Speaker 4>fighting for Breonna Taylor and others. And from the first

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:07.439
<v Speaker 4>day we became family. He and I, brother and sister,

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:11.400
<v Speaker 4>my son and him brothers. And it has not waivered

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:14.600
<v Speaker 4>one bit since day one. And so during this time,

0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.199
<v Speaker 4>while Trey is dealing with something that many of you

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:20.280
<v Speaker 4>know about. You've seen it, you read it, you heard it,

0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, we wanted to invite him to come to

0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.680
<v Speaker 4>a family space, to have a dialogue about what's happening,

0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.239
<v Speaker 4>and to really helped to clear up some concerns that

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:34.399
<v Speaker 4>I see a lot of people have about what is

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:38.000
<v Speaker 4>taking place with his daughter Truth, who is our Nisi

0:21:38.080 --> 0:21:41.160
<v Speaker 4>Poo when she's in the mood to be Nisi pooh

0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:46.200
<v Speaker 4>because she's just like her daddy. And so so I'm

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.160
<v Speaker 4>glad to have you here. Trade, Thank you so much

0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.159
<v Speaker 4>for joining us, Trade of Truth.

0:21:50.720 --> 0:21:53.160
<v Speaker 5>How you're doing, how you're doing praise.

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.360
<v Speaker 2>I love you, man. I just want to let you know, man, love.

0:21:57.640 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So listen, Trade, So you know, well, people have recently,

0:22:03.520 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 4>Oh my god, what's going on with this technology today?

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Hold on a second, y'all. I just lost y'all. What's

0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 1>going on? Too much going on on this computer?

0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:24.480
<v Speaker 4>So listen, Tray. So recently people have learned about something

0:22:24.520 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 4>that we've been knowing about for many, many many years

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.400
<v Speaker 4>actually probably all of Truth's life. I think we met

0:22:31.440 --> 0:22:34.359
<v Speaker 4>when Truth was like months or maybe one years old.

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:39.360
<v Speaker 4>And for all of these years, we've been knowing about

0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:44.040
<v Speaker 4>the challenges that you have had as a father in

0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:49.239
<v Speaker 4>that situation. And people know a little bit here and

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:52.320
<v Speaker 4>there throughout the years you've kind of led on to,

0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:56.440
<v Speaker 4>you know, some of the challenges that you were facing,

0:22:56.480 --> 0:23:00.000
<v Speaker 4>you and her mother, and so folks kind of are

0:23:00.040 --> 0:23:02.440
<v Speaker 4>always look out to see like when it's Truth gonna

0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:05.480
<v Speaker 4>be there. You haven't seen her for a while, you know,

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.880
<v Speaker 4>it's been several months. We don't see Truth, and she's

0:23:07.960 --> 0:23:12.320
<v Speaker 4>back and so we know that. But you have been very,

0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:16.120
<v Speaker 4>very very private about the depth of everything that has

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:21.080
<v Speaker 4>been happening, and really have gone to great extent not

0:23:21.400 --> 0:23:26.119
<v Speaker 4>to talk about this latest incident. And so recently you

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 4>decided that after so long of not seeing Truth, which

0:23:32.080 --> 0:23:33.959
<v Speaker 4>she is supposed to be with you because you were

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:37.520
<v Speaker 4>granted full custody of her some months back.

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.639
<v Speaker 1>I think around June first she was supposed to be with.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:46.600
<v Speaker 4>You, and then you know she hasn't been there, and

0:23:47.119 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 4>therefore you decided it was time to talk to folks,

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:53.359
<v Speaker 4>not just to gossip about it or to give people

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.399
<v Speaker 4>gossip rather, but more so because you really are looking

0:23:56.400 --> 0:23:58.600
<v Speaker 4>for people who can help if they see if they

0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:01.720
<v Speaker 4>know they have the where about some truth. You're really

0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.840
<v Speaker 4>really doing the work to try to figure out where

0:24:04.880 --> 0:24:07.560
<v Speaker 4>your daughter is. And so I know that that's very

0:24:07.600 --> 0:24:10.919
<v Speaker 4>painful for you to have people to know the depth

0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:14.200
<v Speaker 4>of what's been happening. And I just wanted to say,

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:18.159
<v Speaker 4>first off, I'm sorry that you had to expose this

0:24:18.240 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 4>because we've been talking about for months should you say something,

0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 4>when should you say things?

0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:25.520
<v Speaker 1>And you chose not to, So that's one.

0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.480
<v Speaker 4>I just want to put that out there for people

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:31.240
<v Speaker 4>who may not really understand. And I'll just go ahead

0:24:31.240 --> 0:24:35.600
<v Speaker 4>and ask you. You know, since truth has been you

0:24:35.640 --> 0:24:38.439
<v Speaker 4>know you haven't seen her for a while, I just

0:24:38.560 --> 0:24:41.720
<v Speaker 4>wanted to know, like, when was the last time that

0:24:41.760 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 4>you saw her, and what were the circumstances for the

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:46.920
<v Speaker 4>last time that you were with her.

0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:53.480
<v Speaker 6>My last time saying my baby was August sixteenth, her

0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 6>mother came for a visit, you know, because and the

0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.640
<v Speaker 6>correct you I had primary custody was means we both

0:25:00.680 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 6>had custody, but truth was under I was. I was

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:08.440
<v Speaker 6>fully responsible for truth at the time. And she still

0:25:08.440 --> 0:25:14.040
<v Speaker 6>would get the visitation on the weekends and summer and

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:17.399
<v Speaker 6>different holidays. It's kind of the road switch to everything

0:25:17.400 --> 0:25:21.479
<v Speaker 6>that I went through for the first five years. I

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.080
<v Speaker 6>took her to the north side of Houston to drop

0:25:24.119 --> 0:25:27.000
<v Speaker 6>off to her mom. My mom called like, hey, I'm

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 6>gonna be in town. I want to exercise my visit.

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.320
<v Speaker 6>Can you Well, at first she was supposed to pick up,

0:25:33.400 --> 0:25:35.919
<v Speaker 6>and then she asked me because I drop off, I

0:25:36.040 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 6>ended up dropping off and you know, my mom, I'm

0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 6>not thinking another It's like, okay, cool, it's Friday, I'll

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:43.440
<v Speaker 6>see you someday.

0:25:43.600 --> 0:25:45.440
<v Speaker 5>You know. We was getting prepared.

0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:48.480
<v Speaker 6>For her to go to school and everything else, and

0:25:49.000 --> 0:25:50.920
<v Speaker 6>once I dropped off, I've never seen that again.

0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Hmm. So how you know, people may just think that

0:25:57.400 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 3>this started, like how long have you actually what was

0:26:00.440 --> 0:26:02.840
<v Speaker 3>the process you know for you to get you that?

0:26:02.920 --> 0:26:06.000
<v Speaker 3>Because I know you you're very you know, a stand up individual.

0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:08.080
<v Speaker 3>And I know you it wasn't your first thing, like,

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.680
<v Speaker 3>you know what, I'm just gonna go get primary custody.

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:12.639
<v Speaker 3>I know you wanted to do it, but what was

0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:14.959
<v Speaker 3>the process that made you feel like, you know, I

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:17.280
<v Speaker 3>need to make sure that I have primary customer.

0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 6>I think, man, just everything that I've experienced, and honestly,

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:27.479
<v Speaker 6>you you actually hit it right on the nail. I

0:26:27.600 --> 0:26:30.240
<v Speaker 6>was never going to seek custody. You know what I'm

0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:35.760
<v Speaker 6>saying that I was strictly on stop keeping my baby

0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:36.359
<v Speaker 6>away from me.

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Every year.

0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:40.400
<v Speaker 6>You know, some years, some years it'll be two three

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:42.440
<v Speaker 6>months I go without seeing truth.

0:26:43.040 --> 0:26:44.760
<v Speaker 5>The next one that may be six months.

0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.960
<v Speaker 6>And I was just I was tied, bro, And it

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 6>was like I was, I did everything that needs to do,

0:26:51.359 --> 0:26:53.560
<v Speaker 6>and it's hard following. You know, you got to follow

0:26:53.640 --> 0:26:55.639
<v Speaker 6>the court order where you have somebody telling you what

0:26:55.720 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 6>to do how to do it. But I never I

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:02.399
<v Speaker 6>never went off the path of what was set for

0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 6>us to do. And the thing was, it's like I

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 6>finally got to a point where I think, right before

0:27:11.040 --> 0:27:14.159
<v Speaker 6>we went to trial, we had a mediation and my

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:17.480
<v Speaker 6>my thing was we gotta ube out of court order

0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:21.280
<v Speaker 6>if my child gets kept away from me again, you

0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:24.239
<v Speaker 6>gotta be here responsible. And they didn't want to do it.

0:27:24.240 --> 0:27:26.880
<v Speaker 6>They were like, well, we'll go to trial. And when

0:27:26.920 --> 0:27:30.600
<v Speaker 6>we went to trial, with everything that didn't happened over

0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:35.280
<v Speaker 6>the past six years, everything all the chances that were given,

0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:38.879
<v Speaker 6>the judge felt it was in the best interest for

0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 6>me to have custody.

0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:44.600
<v Speaker 3>Now, well, basically what you're saying is that before this

0:27:44.840 --> 0:27:47.439
<v Speaker 3>even a trial, you just went to the mediation and said, listen,

0:27:47.880 --> 0:27:49.480
<v Speaker 3>I just want to be able to have my daughter

0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 3>to days that I'm supposed to have a I don't

0:27:51.720 --> 0:27:53.919
<v Speaker 3>want to go through no issues with you. I just

0:27:53.960 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 3>want you to you know, when it's my holidays, but

0:27:56.240 --> 0:27:58.520
<v Speaker 3>it's my weekend, when it's my week whatever, it's my time.

0:27:58.800 --> 0:28:01.000
<v Speaker 3>I just want to just that. Just just don't be

0:28:01.160 --> 0:28:03.920
<v Speaker 3>anything to prohibit that. And I don't and I don't.

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:05.400
<v Speaker 3>We don't even got to go to trial. If you could,

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:07.720
<v Speaker 3>if you could just say that, if you can honestly

0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:09.320
<v Speaker 3>just agree to that, then we.

0:28:09.240 --> 0:28:10.159
<v Speaker 2>Don't have to do none of this.

0:28:10.720 --> 0:28:13.679
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, So what happened was and keep in mind that

0:28:13.720 --> 0:28:16.359
<v Speaker 6>wasn't the first mediation. That was the mediation right before

0:28:16.520 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 6>try because remember I've been fighting for truth almost six years,

0:28:21.040 --> 0:28:24.760
<v Speaker 6>so that mediation was right at the top of this year.

0:28:25.640 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 6>So I think I I want to say I ended

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:31.480
<v Speaker 6>up getting custody of truth.

0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:32.639
<v Speaker 5>Maybe March.

0:28:32.720 --> 0:28:34.199
<v Speaker 6>I have to really look at the date, but it

0:28:34.280 --> 0:28:38.200
<v Speaker 6>was at the top of the year, and the thing

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:43.120
<v Speaker 6>was just not to interfere and to stop just doing

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 6>the things that was getting done to me, you know.

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 6>And I'm not only hit the basher, So I really

0:28:47.720 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 6>try and stray away from going in depth, you know,

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:52.400
<v Speaker 6>because at the end of the day, it's still my

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 6>daughter's mother. But a lot of things were done, and

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.600
<v Speaker 6>I like, at that point, man, just don't interfere with

0:28:59.680 --> 0:29:01.320
<v Speaker 6>all trying to do is be a father, you know

0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:01.640
<v Speaker 6>what I mean.

0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:03.080
<v Speaker 5>Fathers out here.

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.080
<v Speaker 6>Will stay down the street from their child and won't

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:08.160
<v Speaker 6>drive up the street, don't even drive by the house

0:29:08.200 --> 0:29:10.840
<v Speaker 6>to see if they child outside playing. You're talking to

0:29:10.880 --> 0:29:14.800
<v Speaker 6>somebody who would fly every weekend or every couple of

0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 6>weeks and literally sit at the airport and my baby

0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:20.320
<v Speaker 6>never show up, and I still would come back next time.

0:29:20.320 --> 0:29:22.560
<v Speaker 6>I mean, it will happen again, So you know, I

0:29:22.680 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 6>just you get to a point where like one that's

0:29:25.640 --> 0:29:28.840
<v Speaker 6>a girl, a girl definitely need to be protected at

0:29:28.880 --> 0:29:31.480
<v Speaker 6>all times, especially with everything that black women go through,

0:29:32.000 --> 0:29:35.240
<v Speaker 6>black kids, black girls, you know, even just girls in general.

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:39.560
<v Speaker 6>You got all kinds of crazy people out here that

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:44.800
<v Speaker 6>do uncool stuff keys, you know, And I feel like, man,

0:29:44.880 --> 0:29:48.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm here, I'm blessed. God got me moving on them.

0:29:48.520 --> 0:29:50.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm standing on both feet. I'm gonna protect my child.

0:29:52.520 --> 0:29:56.440
<v Speaker 4>So you mentioned flying, and I just want to because

0:29:56.480 --> 0:30:02.200
<v Speaker 4>there are people out here. I posted the missing person

0:30:04.480 --> 0:30:09.000
<v Speaker 4>flyer or whatever we want to call it, notice, the notice,

0:30:09.280 --> 0:30:14.720
<v Speaker 4>listen person's notice, and there were people in my comment

0:30:14.800 --> 0:30:19.959
<v Speaker 4>section who, by the way, some of them I truly understand,

0:30:20.400 --> 0:30:24.280
<v Speaker 4>because it is our first instinct, especially as women, but

0:30:24.480 --> 0:30:29.239
<v Speaker 4>men also to just think that, well, a mother is

0:30:29.280 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 4>supposed to be with her child, and she should be right. Absolutely,

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:36.400
<v Speaker 4>a mother should be with their child. You know, I

0:30:36.400 --> 0:30:39.800
<v Speaker 4>would do anything. I would fight. He used his money

0:30:39.880 --> 0:30:44.719
<v Speaker 4>and his resources to take truth away from her, and

0:30:45.080 --> 0:30:48.040
<v Speaker 4>it's not cool. There's some people who are in the

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:50.760
<v Speaker 4>comment section who are talking about, oh, well he did,

0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:54.520
<v Speaker 4>are dirty and whatever, And I said, as a woman,

0:30:54.960 --> 0:30:57.080
<v Speaker 4>I can imagine, and I'm not even going to go

0:30:57.120 --> 0:31:00.520
<v Speaker 4>down that road with you, because regardless of what happened,

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:03.280
<v Speaker 4>in your relationship. But she could tell me anything. She

0:31:03.320 --> 0:31:04.800
<v Speaker 4>could come to me and say, oh, he did this

0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 4>and he did that, and I might be like, Okay,

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:09.000
<v Speaker 4>that's pop. That could be true, right. Because I'm a woman,

0:31:09.040 --> 0:31:13.800
<v Speaker 4>I know what I've experienced, and so our first instinct

0:31:14.320 --> 0:31:15.560
<v Speaker 4>is to always.

0:31:15.160 --> 0:31:16.960
<v Speaker 1>Say, well, what is this about?

0:31:17.040 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 4>And why would anybody be trying to take a child

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:21.400
<v Speaker 4>from their mother?

0:31:21.640 --> 0:31:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And you're gonna fight for it.

0:31:23.360 --> 0:31:25.760
<v Speaker 4>There's some people who are truly believer in my comments

0:31:25.760 --> 0:31:29.120
<v Speaker 4>because they know her and they have what they believe

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 4>to be a story that they want to try to

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:36.680
<v Speaker 4>spread to make this situation justify. But the reason why

0:31:36.720 --> 0:31:40.200
<v Speaker 4>I've been so adamant about supporting you and why I'm

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 4>speaking on this now is because I have literally been

0:31:44.960 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 4>on the phone with you when you get off of

0:31:47.360 --> 0:31:51.320
<v Speaker 4>a flight to pick truth up and hours go by

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 4>and she does not show up with the baby, and

0:31:54.520 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 4>then you will leave broken hearted and fly back again

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 4>the next time you're supposed to pick her up, regardless

0:32:02.880 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 4>of whether you spoke to her or not, because the

0:32:05.400 --> 0:32:08.160
<v Speaker 4>court told you that this is what you're supposed to do,

0:32:08.200 --> 0:32:10.640
<v Speaker 4>and you have been trying to make sure that you

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:14.760
<v Speaker 4>go by the book in terms of exactly what they say,

0:32:15.200 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 4>you do it not just to show the court, but

0:32:18.200 --> 0:32:22.080
<v Speaker 4>also to make sure that she mom and daughter knows

0:32:22.360 --> 0:32:25.560
<v Speaker 4>that I am going to be consistently here. So I

0:32:25.640 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 4>just want folks to know it's not a question. I

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:29.880
<v Speaker 4>just want people to know that I didn't just wake

0:32:29.960 --> 0:32:32.800
<v Speaker 4>up one day and say, oh, Tray as my friend

0:32:33.040 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 4>and I just want to go, you know, defend him,

0:32:36.200 --> 0:32:40.160
<v Speaker 4>regardless of what I've literally been a part of watching

0:32:40.280 --> 0:32:43.160
<v Speaker 4>the details of this thing and how it has happened.

0:32:43.680 --> 0:32:47.080
<v Speaker 4>And I think that for people who will say, well,

0:32:47.400 --> 0:32:50.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, he did this to her, or he left her,

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 4>or he didn't stay with her or whatever the hell,

0:32:53.560 --> 0:32:57.440
<v Speaker 4>regardless of how relationships go, the use of a child

0:32:57.520 --> 0:33:01.000
<v Speaker 4>as a weapon, it's something that we have been taught

0:33:01.080 --> 0:33:05.120
<v Speaker 4>as women who come from good households, that it is

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:09.240
<v Speaker 4>a cardinal sin, like it is literally a sin to

0:33:09.440 --> 0:33:12.640
<v Speaker 4>use a child as a weapon because you were upset

0:33:12.640 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 4>about what happened in the relationship. So I just want

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 4>to say that, and I want you to talk about

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.840
<v Speaker 4>because there are people who think that when you got

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:24.680
<v Speaker 4>primary custody, which I've been calling full custody. So thank

0:33:24.680 --> 0:33:27.680
<v Speaker 4>you for correcting me that you did not want truth

0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:29.200
<v Speaker 4>to see her mother at all.

0:33:30.200 --> 0:33:32.440
<v Speaker 1>That that was it. She was separated from my mother.

0:33:32.880 --> 0:33:36.120
<v Speaker 6>So first and foremost what they got to understand is

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 6>the dynamics of the relationship with me and you. We

0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.360
<v Speaker 6>not yes, me and each other. We don't even respect

0:33:41.360 --> 0:33:45.680
<v Speaker 6>that type stuff. So for those watching at times when

0:33:45.680 --> 0:33:48.000
<v Speaker 6>I have other situations going on, and there'd be a

0:33:48.040 --> 0:33:50.440
<v Speaker 6>lot of stuff that just go on to life in general,

0:33:51.000 --> 0:33:53.600
<v Speaker 6>it's a Millian things to me are going to be like, nah,

0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 6>I'm not with that, and not Trey. I don't think

0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:59.480
<v Speaker 6>that's what that should be. And you know, any real

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.280
<v Speaker 6>person that genuinely love somebody's always gonna speak up. They

0:34:02.360 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 6>never gonna be okay, whatever you want to do, I'm

0:34:05.320 --> 0:34:07.040
<v Speaker 6>just gonna support it, you know. And even though you're

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:10.040
<v Speaker 6>gonna support family and family. But right is right, wrong

0:34:10.160 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 6>is wrong. Like even if it's a situation where you

0:34:14.480 --> 0:34:16.879
<v Speaker 6>had a new born right now and you was doing

0:34:16.880 --> 0:34:18.640
<v Speaker 6>the exact same thing, I'd be the person Tea you,

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:20.440
<v Speaker 6>I ain't down with that to me, because that's you

0:34:20.560 --> 0:34:23.720
<v Speaker 6>out of line for that. And I mean, as family,

0:34:23.760 --> 0:34:25.839
<v Speaker 6>we gotta respect that. And that's just what that is.

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 6>When you go to talking about the money and the

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 6>other stuff. Right, I had money before truth was born.

0:34:33.640 --> 0:34:36.320
<v Speaker 6>And I said this yesterday when I was talking to somebody.

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.719
<v Speaker 6>If it was about the money, do you think I

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.720
<v Speaker 6>would have went through the pain, the truma and everything

0:34:42.760 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 6>I went through for six years straight, I would have

0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:47.400
<v Speaker 6>instantly got custody in my baby the first day we

0:34:47.480 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 6>went to court and went on about my business if

0:34:49.680 --> 0:34:50.560
<v Speaker 6>it was about money.

0:34:50.960 --> 0:34:52.000
<v Speaker 5>Because what people.

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:55.360
<v Speaker 6>Don't know is for the first five years in court

0:34:55.680 --> 0:34:58.319
<v Speaker 6>and then when they go to tall lawyers, I was

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:01.120
<v Speaker 6>damn they get my ass hand to me by lawyer,

0:35:01.600 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 6>and when they talk about lawyers, I would come in

0:35:03.800 --> 0:35:06.280
<v Speaker 6>there with my same lawyers. She would have three lawyers

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 6>at a time sometimes and she went through multiple lawyers.

0:35:10.120 --> 0:35:12.799
<v Speaker 6>So it's not a case of I got high in

0:35:12.880 --> 0:35:16.879
<v Speaker 6>lawyers because technically every firm she had, minus maybe one,

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:18.120
<v Speaker 6>was all top firms.

0:35:18.239 --> 0:35:19.680
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying. That's not even a go

0:35:20.360 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 5>as far as in dept with it.

0:35:22.400 --> 0:35:26.040
<v Speaker 6>But the point being is I did everything which was

0:35:26.080 --> 0:35:30.680
<v Speaker 6>the hardest, to stay focused on that court order, don't

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:32.959
<v Speaker 6>mess up, and do my part as a father.

0:35:33.160 --> 0:35:35.760
<v Speaker 5>That's what led to me ended up getting custody. Because

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 5>we all.

0:35:39.200 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 6>What shall I say as a mother, right, she was

0:35:41.360 --> 0:35:45.080
<v Speaker 6>given a lot of chances, and I think they finally

0:35:45.120 --> 0:35:46.839
<v Speaker 6>got to a point where they were just fed up,

0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:51.040
<v Speaker 6>like no, because right now you're moving for you. You're

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 6>not moving for the best interest of the child and

0:35:53.120 --> 0:35:55.440
<v Speaker 6>for the court. It's all about the best interest of

0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:58.880
<v Speaker 6>the child. If I'm moving wrong, then that be on me.

0:35:58.920 --> 0:36:01.680
<v Speaker 6>If she moving wrong, that be on herself. For five years,

0:36:01.760 --> 0:36:04.400
<v Speaker 6>they gave her chances. And you know, to me, I

0:36:04.480 --> 0:36:07.799
<v Speaker 6>was heartbroke every single not only me, my kids were

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:09.240
<v Speaker 6>heartbroke this whole time.

0:36:09.960 --> 0:36:10.840
<v Speaker 5>And they made.

0:36:10.680 --> 0:36:13.800
<v Speaker 1>It really difficult for you, very difficult.

0:36:13.920 --> 0:36:15.960
<v Speaker 5>I'm talking man, Do you know what it is?

0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:19.680
<v Speaker 4>Because they knew you had money, so they forced you

0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:23.360
<v Speaker 4>to pay for plane tickets every time you were supposed

0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:23.839
<v Speaker 4>to pick her.

0:36:23.840 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Up back and forth.

0:36:25.520 --> 0:36:27.960
<v Speaker 5>Let me give your example. No fathers.

0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:30.359
<v Speaker 6>It's fathers that may have went through, but they didn't

0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 6>go to it through it through the extent that I did.

0:36:33.440 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 6>Imagine when it got to a point because we had

0:36:38.840 --> 0:36:41.480
<v Speaker 6>two weeks, she would get two weeks. I would get

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 6>two weeks. Sometimes it may be three weeks before I

0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:49.520
<v Speaker 6>get my two weeks. But she enrolled truth in school early,

0:36:49.760 --> 0:36:52.399
<v Speaker 6>so that cut all my time. So at that point,

0:36:52.400 --> 0:36:56.240
<v Speaker 6>I no longer get my weeks. So Truth started school early,

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:58.880
<v Speaker 6>which that took away my time. So it got to

0:36:58.920 --> 0:37:02.080
<v Speaker 6>a point where I get the first, third, and fifth weekend.

0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:05.680
<v Speaker 6>It's not that many fifth weekends and throughout the year,

0:37:06.200 --> 0:37:09.799
<v Speaker 6>but every weekend I was having about six flights. I

0:37:09.800 --> 0:37:13.120
<v Speaker 6>would fly there, fly me in Truth back, fly me

0:37:13.160 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 6>in Truth back to where she is, and fly back home.

0:37:15.800 --> 0:37:19.280
<v Speaker 6>You cannot imagine what the price of six flights every

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.960
<v Speaker 6>visitation that I got, and I was moving making sure

0:37:23.000 --> 0:37:26.319
<v Speaker 6>I was there regardless even some of them flights I made,

0:37:26.640 --> 0:37:29.440
<v Speaker 6>if Truth don't even show up, I still had to

0:37:29.480 --> 0:37:31.840
<v Speaker 6>pay for that, you know what I'm saying. So nobody

0:37:31.920 --> 0:37:35.759
<v Speaker 6>knows everything that I went through for six years or

0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:38.479
<v Speaker 6>should I say five now? I mean because she's six now,

0:37:38.960 --> 0:37:42.080
<v Speaker 6>so everything under the six year limit that I went through.

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:45.160
<v Speaker 5>And this experienced just as being the father.

0:37:45.320 --> 0:37:48.680
<v Speaker 6>So you know, like even I knew when I put

0:37:48.680 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 6>it on social media that you can it's to the

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 6>public now, you know what I'm saying. But I was

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.920
<v Speaker 6>forced to do that because even then, the results of

0:37:58.160 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 6>when she first went missing to now it's no different.

0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:03.400
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'm saying, so now, the only thing

0:38:03.480 --> 0:38:07.120
<v Speaker 6>I can do is pray to God, put it publicly

0:38:07.160 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 6>and hope God put the right people in position that

0:38:10.080 --> 0:38:12.000
<v Speaker 6>may see her at the right time, or that may

0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:15.320
<v Speaker 6>know something that can get Truth back to where she belonged.

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:19.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, you know, answer the question of were you

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:22.600
<v Speaker 4>trying to what was a part of your plan to

0:38:22.719 --> 0:38:25.279
<v Speaker 4>keep Truth from seeing her mother at all?

0:38:25.320 --> 0:38:27.239
<v Speaker 1>And just you and your family have her.

0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:29.879
<v Speaker 6>Only so so that was never part of the plan,

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:32.200
<v Speaker 6>even in the midst of everything I was going through.

0:38:32.920 --> 0:38:35.000
<v Speaker 5>It's not a soul on earth that would say different.

0:38:35.280 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 6>That'll tell you, even when I was feeling how I

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:41.520
<v Speaker 6>was feeling towards what we had going on, I would

0:38:41.560 --> 0:38:44.000
<v Speaker 6>still make sure Truth called them when Truth was with me.

0:38:44.280 --> 0:38:46.440
<v Speaker 6>I would make sure Truth even if Truth wanted to

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:48.799
<v Speaker 6>be bothered or not. You're going to at least take

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:51.640
<v Speaker 6>the time to reach out to your mama, at least

0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:53.439
<v Speaker 6>let her know you breathe and say what you're saying.

0:38:53.440 --> 0:38:55.240
<v Speaker 6>If you want to get out the phone and play cool,

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:58.160
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying. So I've always been very

0:38:58.239 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 6>very serious to that point. But then it gets to

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:03.440
<v Speaker 6>a point where it gets scary, right because it's like

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:07.560
<v Speaker 6>now it's to a point that truths getting older, truths

0:39:07.640 --> 0:39:11.040
<v Speaker 6>doing things that I'm not used to, and she's being

0:39:11.760 --> 0:39:16.040
<v Speaker 6>She's being led and told things that can be heartbreaking

0:39:16.120 --> 0:39:18.520
<v Speaker 6>to another parent. You know, the one thing about me

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:20.919
<v Speaker 6>I've never spoke negative to. I don't even really talk

0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:22.000
<v Speaker 6>the truth about our mama.

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:22.319
<v Speaker 5>Pid.

0:39:22.800 --> 0:39:25.000
<v Speaker 6>You know, other than you know you need to call it.

0:39:25.120 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 6>You know you need to do this. Other than that,

0:39:26.600 --> 0:39:29.520
<v Speaker 6>I keep it. I keep it separate, so you know,

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:33.640
<v Speaker 6>to have conversation with my baby. When my baby first

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 6>come back and my baby tell me, well, it's because

0:39:36.520 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 6>of you, I'm not gonna see my friends or my

0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.600
<v Speaker 6>real family in LA and my mommy, And it's like,

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:44.960
<v Speaker 6>who told you that? One of them? Your daddy. I

0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:47.279
<v Speaker 6>can fly if you want to see your friends. I

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:49.360
<v Speaker 6>beating the fool of you there. I flew them here, Like,

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:52.480
<v Speaker 6>don't let nobody tell you that. And you're real family.

0:39:52.480 --> 0:39:54.919
<v Speaker 6>You got family in Houston and LA. So we got

0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:56.760
<v Speaker 6>to get that out of your brain. It's no such

0:39:57.360 --> 0:40:00.480
<v Speaker 6>thing or what's real family or what's more important family?

0:40:01.080 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 6>Because your siblings are here, your brothers are here, they

0:40:03.760 --> 0:40:06.280
<v Speaker 6>mean just as much to you as any other family

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 6>you got so I'm real big on everything that I

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:13.640
<v Speaker 6>was going through. I still always spoke highly to where

0:40:13.840 --> 0:40:17.080
<v Speaker 6>I don't put those type of things in my daughter head.

0:40:17.719 --> 0:40:19.920
<v Speaker 6>But for the most part, it is just at this

0:40:20.000 --> 0:40:20.960
<v Speaker 6>point it's scary.

0:40:21.000 --> 0:40:21.399
<v Speaker 5>It's like.

0:40:23.719 --> 0:40:26.160
<v Speaker 6>I never would have thought that me and truth both

0:40:26.160 --> 0:40:28.200
<v Speaker 6>would have to be in therapy, you know what I'm saying,

0:40:28.400 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 6>And when it gets to points like that, and you

0:40:30.120 --> 0:40:33.280
<v Speaker 6>just experience the stuff that I experienced, and even seeing

0:40:33.280 --> 0:40:36.080
<v Speaker 6>what she's going through now, my child is living pillar

0:40:36.160 --> 0:40:40.040
<v Speaker 6>a post like she don't have she's not in school,

0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:42.480
<v Speaker 6>she has no way to contact me even if she's

0:40:42.520 --> 0:40:44.560
<v Speaker 6>going through it and need help. I can't even be

0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:48.759
<v Speaker 6>the protect or provide cor So at that point it's like, hey,

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:50.880
<v Speaker 6>I gotta do what's best for my child, you know

0:40:50.920 --> 0:40:52.520
<v Speaker 6>what I'm saying, And right now, what's best for my

0:40:52.600 --> 0:40:54.880
<v Speaker 6>child is to get her here safely, get her in

0:40:54.880 --> 0:40:57.799
<v Speaker 6>a stable environment, and get my daughter all the help

0:40:57.840 --> 0:40:58.239
<v Speaker 6>she needs.

0:41:00.719 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 2>Is really.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 3>It's touching, right, and it's real because you don't we

0:41:07.640 --> 0:41:09.280
<v Speaker 3>don't speak about the issues.

0:41:09.320 --> 0:41:10.680
<v Speaker 2>A lot of men, men.

0:41:10.840 --> 0:41:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Like us, we don't talk about issues like this. We

0:41:13.200 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 3>try to keep all of our stuff private. And you know,

0:41:16.000 --> 0:41:17.920
<v Speaker 3>and like I said, I know you, and I know

0:41:18.080 --> 0:41:21.400
<v Speaker 3>for you to take this step and be on social

0:41:21.440 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 3>media with anything that's personal to you, it means that

0:41:24.280 --> 0:41:26.960
<v Speaker 3>it's that serious, and it's so many and since you

0:41:27.120 --> 0:41:29.600
<v Speaker 3>have done this, it's so many of my friends that

0:41:29.680 --> 0:41:31.840
<v Speaker 3>go through the same thing that have been calling my

0:41:31.920 --> 0:41:34.680
<v Speaker 3>phone like, Yo, I'm dealing with the exact same thing.

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:36.839
<v Speaker 2>You know, I'm trying to see my daughter. I'm trying

0:41:36.880 --> 0:41:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to see my son, and she won't let me do this.

0:41:39.080 --> 0:41:42.720
<v Speaker 3>And in a lot of times, the average individual says,

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:45.200
<v Speaker 3>fuck all that. You know, I'm not even I'm just

0:41:45.280 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 3>you know what, the baby. This is too much stress.

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:53.960
<v Speaker 3>And and for me watching you understand how dedicated you are,

0:41:54.200 --> 0:41:56.319
<v Speaker 3>just seeing you with your daughter, understanding how much you

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:59.080
<v Speaker 3>love that girl. You know what I'm saying, and and

0:41:59.239 --> 0:42:02.400
<v Speaker 3>then going to of my comments, just listening to people,

0:42:02.520 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 3>you know a lot of people, and it's such a

0:42:05.200 --> 0:42:08.840
<v Speaker 3>it's such a double ledsed warl right, because if a

0:42:08.880 --> 0:42:11.600
<v Speaker 3>woman was having the same issue, right, if a woman

0:42:11.640 --> 0:42:13.840
<v Speaker 3>had put it and say, hey, the father took my

0:42:13.960 --> 0:42:16.799
<v Speaker 3>son or my daughter, I haven't seen that, everybody would

0:42:16.840 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 3>be like.

0:42:17.120 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 2>No, that's crazy, we need to do this.

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I'm so sorry for you, but just listening to some

0:42:22.680 --> 0:42:25.160
<v Speaker 3>of the people saying, oh, well, she's good with her mother,

0:42:25.239 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 3>don't worry about that.

0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:27.560
<v Speaker 2>What are he trying to take the daughter from the mother?

0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Fork And it's like, why you don't think, you know

0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:34.480
<v Speaker 3>that the father has the same rights, Why you don't

0:42:34.480 --> 0:42:36.759
<v Speaker 3>feel like the father has the same you know, good

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:39.960
<v Speaker 3>intentions for his child. And it's like we're able to

0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:44.759
<v Speaker 3>see it. It's actually pulling back layers of just dysfunction

0:42:44.880 --> 0:42:48.520
<v Speaker 3>and just false narratives that's been created within the world

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:51.160
<v Speaker 3>about how fathers feel about their children, because we kid

0:42:51.320 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 3>just as much about our kids as the mother does,

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:56.919
<v Speaker 3>you know, although people don't want to believe that, but

0:42:56.960 --> 0:42:58.399
<v Speaker 3>we really feel the same way.

0:42:59.280 --> 0:43:02.440
<v Speaker 6>And I think the thing is man, And I was

0:43:02.520 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 6>real big on I didn't want to make this a

0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:08.319
<v Speaker 6>mother father thing. It is a lot of fathers that

0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:10.880
<v Speaker 6>go through this. And you have great mothers, you have

0:43:10.920 --> 0:43:14.920
<v Speaker 6>great mothers, you have great fathers, you have bs mothers

0:43:14.960 --> 0:43:17.440
<v Speaker 6>and dead be fathers too, you know what I'm saying.

0:43:17.880 --> 0:43:21.360
<v Speaker 6>And I think, honestly, man, I feel like God's using

0:43:21.400 --> 0:43:24.719
<v Speaker 6>me for whichever way he had set for me, right

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:28.880
<v Speaker 6>because in my mind, I don't I didn't want this

0:43:28.960 --> 0:43:31.040
<v Speaker 6>to the public. In my mind, it's you know how

0:43:31.160 --> 0:43:33.359
<v Speaker 6>embarrassed and this is brouh I could bare the old

0:43:33.360 --> 0:43:36.440
<v Speaker 6>conversations at times when I nice, as long as you

0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:38.319
<v Speaker 6>been knowing me, ain't nobody ever seeing me cry. It's

0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:40.280
<v Speaker 6>to the point now I can't stop it at times,

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, and I think God's using me to show

0:43:43.920 --> 0:43:47.280
<v Speaker 6>people the human side of me, but also show people

0:43:47.800 --> 0:43:51.480
<v Speaker 6>not to give up. Because it's some fathers out there

0:43:51.480 --> 0:43:54.400
<v Speaker 6>that's classified dead beats that was just pushed to they limit.

0:43:54.480 --> 0:43:57.680
<v Speaker 6>They don't have the resources the money to keep fighting.

0:43:57.719 --> 0:44:00.000
<v Speaker 6>They just tap out. And even then I was still

0:44:00.040 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 6>to tell them, hey, I'm not okay with that, because

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:05.080
<v Speaker 6>you don't need to tap out. Okay, it may you

0:44:05.120 --> 0:44:07.840
<v Speaker 6>may not have the funds, you may not have the resources,

0:44:08.239 --> 0:44:10.720
<v Speaker 6>but it's people out there that can give you, guys,

0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:12.880
<v Speaker 6>and you just got to keep going through the the

0:44:14.520 --> 0:44:18.799
<v Speaker 6>proper procedures because you have a lot of kids that

0:44:18.960 --> 0:44:21.919
<v Speaker 6>end up in bad situations, whether it may be jail, death,

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:25.600
<v Speaker 6>anything that maybe would be in that situation that if

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:31.000
<v Speaker 6>they had access to the pan that's been alien that

0:44:31.160 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 6>they moved around, they may gave them hope. Because a

0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:37.920
<v Speaker 6>lot of kids you know, I take a lot of

0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:40.799
<v Speaker 6>times they can get against the world. Man, my pop's here.

0:44:40.800 --> 0:44:42.480
<v Speaker 6>He don't care for me. Nobody care for me. It's

0:44:42.480 --> 0:44:44.160
<v Speaker 6>just about me and mine right now. And I can't

0:44:44.239 --> 0:44:46.879
<v Speaker 6>fault them for that. But on the flip side, it's like, man,

0:44:46.880 --> 0:44:48.839
<v Speaker 6>we got we got to we have to fight, and

0:44:49.000 --> 0:44:51.719
<v Speaker 6>I feel like he using me to show, like, man,

0:44:51.760 --> 0:44:53.880
<v Speaker 6>this man ain't stopping no matter what this is. He

0:44:53.960 --> 0:44:56.799
<v Speaker 6>is gonna go till he gets his child back. And

0:44:56.880 --> 0:44:59.279
<v Speaker 6>even after I get my child back, I'm gonna fight

0:44:59.360 --> 0:45:03.040
<v Speaker 6>for lass. Well, we understand things need to be equal

0:45:03.400 --> 0:45:06.040
<v Speaker 6>because some of the most hurtful stuff when it first happened,

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:09.400
<v Speaker 6>right was to hear them say, oh, well, you know

0:45:10.000 --> 0:45:12.319
<v Speaker 6>that's a silver matter. We ain't getting involved, even if

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:15.520
<v Speaker 6>we was to catch the child with the parent they're

0:45:15.520 --> 0:45:18.200
<v Speaker 6>not supposed to be in. We're not getting involved the

0:45:18.280 --> 0:45:21.520
<v Speaker 6>child just with one of their parents. But what happens

0:45:21.560 --> 0:45:24.200
<v Speaker 6>if they were one of their parents and something messed up,

0:45:24.239 --> 0:45:26.640
<v Speaker 6>go wrong? You know what I'm saying, what you're gonna do.

0:45:26.680 --> 0:45:28.440
<v Speaker 6>You're gonna tell them, oh, I'm so sorry that that

0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:29.439
<v Speaker 6>that happened to your child.

0:45:29.840 --> 0:45:34.160
<v Speaker 4>Well, let's be that something something messed up is going wrong.

0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:39.600
<v Speaker 4>If a child is with a parent consistently or as

0:45:39.680 --> 0:45:44.920
<v Speaker 4>consistent as possible for six years, the way that Truth

0:45:44.920 --> 0:45:48.399
<v Speaker 4>has been with you, and all of a sudden they're gone.

0:45:48.680 --> 0:45:51.120
<v Speaker 4>It's been months. They don't talk to you, can't have

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:55.480
<v Speaker 4>any communication with you. There has to be some storyline

0:45:55.680 --> 0:45:58.800
<v Speaker 4>being told to this child about why there's no way

0:45:58.880 --> 0:46:02.520
<v Speaker 4>that and we know, oh truth, Truth is like what

0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:03.600
<v Speaker 4>happens to my dad?

0:46:03.680 --> 0:46:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Where's my dad?

0:46:04.960 --> 0:46:09.960
<v Speaker 4>And she's being told something to try to manage her

0:46:10.160 --> 0:46:13.880
<v Speaker 4>not getting upset about it or whatever. Even if she

0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:18.560
<v Speaker 4>is getting upset, that is called mental damaging. It is brainwashing,

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:21.759
<v Speaker 4>and it's mentally damaging. And by the time you get

0:46:21.760 --> 0:46:24.680
<v Speaker 4>her back the work and I also have been a

0:46:24.680 --> 0:46:28.319
<v Speaker 4>part of this. Every time Truth stayed away from you

0:46:28.440 --> 0:46:32.160
<v Speaker 4>for long periods of time, when she came back, there

0:46:32.239 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 4>was a lot of mental health support that you had

0:46:35.120 --> 0:46:39.440
<v Speaker 4>to have to help her to get through trying to

0:46:39.520 --> 0:46:42.359
<v Speaker 4>because she loves her mother, and she's supposed to love

0:46:42.360 --> 0:46:42.719
<v Speaker 4>her mother.

0:46:42.840 --> 0:46:45.359
<v Speaker 1>That's what she's supposed to love her mother. No one

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:46.440
<v Speaker 1>is taking that away.

0:46:47.160 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 4>This conversation is about balancing that she also should have

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 4>as much access to her father, who is a willing

0:46:55.040 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 4>participant of the relationship as with her mother, and so

0:46:59.560 --> 0:47:03.080
<v Speaker 4>to to have to choose between one parent is the

0:47:03.080 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 4>worst thing that any parent can do to a child.

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:11.839
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but I feel like to me because it's at

0:47:11.840 --> 0:47:12.759
<v Speaker 5>some point when you.

0:47:15.080 --> 0:47:18.040
<v Speaker 6>As a parent, when you recognize what has to be

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:20.400
<v Speaker 6>best for your child, even if it's something that you

0:47:20.560 --> 0:47:22.399
<v Speaker 6>like or something you don't like, it have to be done,

0:47:22.719 --> 0:47:25.759
<v Speaker 6>you know. And I feel like even in the situation now,

0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:30.440
<v Speaker 6>nobody's why everybody may put opinions, nobody's thinking of what

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:32.680
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna have to deal with, right, I don't know

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:34.880
<v Speaker 6>what's being told of my daughter. I don't know how

0:47:34.920 --> 0:47:37.319
<v Speaker 6>she's gonna act when she first see me. I don't

0:47:37.360 --> 0:47:42.319
<v Speaker 6>know how she's gonna feel with the fact of the

0:47:42.360 --> 0:47:45.680
<v Speaker 6>circumstances of what her mother's dealing with. I don't know

0:47:45.719 --> 0:47:47.560
<v Speaker 6>how it's gonna be for me to have a conversation

0:47:47.680 --> 0:47:49.440
<v Speaker 6>with her. I don't know what that's gonna be when

0:47:49.480 --> 0:47:52.600
<v Speaker 6>she's not picking up the phone calling her mama every day.

0:47:52.800 --> 0:47:57.360
<v Speaker 6>Like nobody understands the hard part that's gonna have to

0:47:57.400 --> 0:47:59.560
<v Speaker 6>be dealt with, Like my child gonna have to be

0:47:59.640 --> 0:48:04.759
<v Speaker 6>in there for a long time just to get her focused, comfortable,

0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:07.520
<v Speaker 6>and get her functioning in the right way. Right now,

0:48:07.600 --> 0:48:11.360
<v Speaker 6>my child like this a new norm for her moving

0:48:11.640 --> 0:48:15.080
<v Speaker 6>house to house like that. As even if she was

0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:17.359
<v Speaker 6>doing that with me, I would say that's not right,

0:48:17.440 --> 0:48:19.200
<v Speaker 6>you know what I'm saying, because I'm not thinking for

0:48:19.239 --> 0:48:19.919
<v Speaker 6>truth at the moment.

0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:21.000
<v Speaker 5>I'm thinking for myself.

0:48:21.880 --> 0:48:23.799
<v Speaker 6>Even let's just say, right, let's just say I wasn't

0:48:23.800 --> 0:48:25.320
<v Speaker 6>able to wrap, I wasn't able to do none of

0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:28.760
<v Speaker 6>the things I was doing, and it was just bad

0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:32.600
<v Speaker 6>on me. You know, I would out me. I would

0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:36.400
<v Speaker 6>be willing to minus all the situation going on. I

0:48:36.440 --> 0:48:38.440
<v Speaker 6>would be willing to let my child stay with the

0:48:38.480 --> 0:48:41.440
<v Speaker 6>other parents to put her in a better situation if

0:48:41.440 --> 0:48:43.800
<v Speaker 6>that's what it's going to be. And in this case,

0:48:44.400 --> 0:48:46.759
<v Speaker 6>you know, with truth, she's stayed with You know, I've

0:48:46.760 --> 0:48:49.680
<v Speaker 6>done everything right. That's how I ended up getting custody.

0:48:49.719 --> 0:48:54.560
<v Speaker 6>And you know, I'm gonna risk my life before anybody touched,

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:57.279
<v Speaker 6>looked the wrong way or harm my child. So at

0:48:57.320 --> 0:48:59.120
<v Speaker 6>the end of the day, it should be about truth.

0:49:00.320 --> 0:49:02.920
<v Speaker 6>I was talking, and I was saying, people fail to

0:49:02.960 --> 0:49:05.439
<v Speaker 6>realize the goal when you come up in the hood

0:49:05.440 --> 0:49:07.960
<v Speaker 6>and you come up in the struggle is to get up,

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:10.000
<v Speaker 6>get out pool as many as you can.

0:49:10.360 --> 0:49:11.160
<v Speaker 5>But I also make.

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:13.759
<v Speaker 6>It to where your children never have to experience what

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:16.520
<v Speaker 6>you do. If you look at most people these days,

0:49:16.560 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 6>most of the most of their kids, most of the

0:49:19.120 --> 0:49:22.400
<v Speaker 6>some of the most gangsters, dude street dudes, most of

0:49:22.440 --> 0:49:23.720
<v Speaker 6>the folest rappers.

0:49:23.760 --> 0:49:27.040
<v Speaker 5>They kids are squaze. Why because we work hard to

0:49:27.120 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 5>get them away from My child should never know what

0:49:29.960 --> 0:49:32.319
<v Speaker 5>that is to have to ask somebody, hey, can you

0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 5>get me something to eat or any of that, when

0:49:34.840 --> 0:49:36.799
<v Speaker 5>when I work hard to make sure my child will

0:49:36.840 --> 0:49:39.600
<v Speaker 5>be provided for, and I feel like right now, it's

0:49:39.600 --> 0:49:42.720
<v Speaker 5>just heartbreaking because I don't know what my child is thinking.

0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:45.440
<v Speaker 6>I don't know how she's feeling. I don't know what

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:47.440
<v Speaker 6>she's going through. I don't know where she's sleeping. I

0:49:47.440 --> 0:49:50.000
<v Speaker 6>don't know if she on somebody count, somebody floor. I

0:49:50.040 --> 0:49:52.080
<v Speaker 6>don't know if one of their relatives being mean to

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:54.279
<v Speaker 6>my child at the moment. I don't know if an

0:49:54.280 --> 0:49:56.400
<v Speaker 6>adult may say something rude. I don't know if a

0:49:56.520 --> 0:49:59.120
<v Speaker 6>child bullying my child. I don't know if my child

0:49:59.200 --> 0:50:01.560
<v Speaker 6>start And I can go down a long list of

0:50:01.600 --> 0:50:04.880
<v Speaker 6>everything that I think of, and then when you watch

0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:07.080
<v Speaker 6>people and they like ah, but still she with the

0:50:07.120 --> 0:50:11.120
<v Speaker 6>mother like. One thing I can say is her mother's

0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:15.359
<v Speaker 6>never experienced going a month without being able to talk

0:50:15.440 --> 0:50:19.239
<v Speaker 6>to a child. Imagine I and when you tally up

0:50:19.280 --> 0:50:22.040
<v Speaker 6>the time of how long truth been taking away from me,

0:50:22.200 --> 0:50:24.759
<v Speaker 6>it's well over a year and a half. She ain't

0:50:24.800 --> 0:50:29.359
<v Speaker 6>experienced that. That's not fair to no paying, It's not

0:50:29.480 --> 0:50:31.400
<v Speaker 6>you know. And I don't want to keep going in

0:50:31.480 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 6>depth because I said and when I do introw, it's

0:50:34.600 --> 0:50:38.560
<v Speaker 6>strictly the uplift other parents and to help find my

0:50:38.680 --> 0:50:40.799
<v Speaker 6>child is not to diss her, you know what I'm saying.

0:50:40.800 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 6>But we just were being transparent, like it's not okay.

0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:47.239
<v Speaker 6>And to me, you know, you talk to me, y'all,

0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:48.920
<v Speaker 6>try and get me out the room. Twenty and a

0:50:48.920 --> 0:50:51.680
<v Speaker 6>half the time, I don't even want to leave my room.

0:50:52.080 --> 0:50:53.680
<v Speaker 5>Now. I go out and I help people.

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:56.000
<v Speaker 6>And even when I'm helping people, people looking at me like,

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:57.759
<v Speaker 6>hey man, something ain't right with them, you know what

0:50:57.800 --> 0:50:58.280
<v Speaker 6>I'm saying.

0:50:58.600 --> 0:51:00.880
<v Speaker 5>And it's not that it's something bad. They just can

0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:02.120
<v Speaker 5>tell they feel my pain.

0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:05.880
<v Speaker 6>But on the flip side, I can't even when I

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:08.160
<v Speaker 6>go outside, if I was the smile, I feel guilty

0:51:08.160 --> 0:51:11.280
<v Speaker 6>because it's like, I don't even feel right smiling, knowing

0:51:11.680 --> 0:51:13.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't even know who my baby is. I don't

0:51:13.239 --> 0:51:16.680
<v Speaker 6>know what my baby's going through, none of that type stuff.

0:51:16.760 --> 0:51:19.960
<v Speaker 6>And then if you go deeper, most teenagers, right, you

0:51:20.040 --> 0:51:22.719
<v Speaker 6>got high school kids. A lot of kids be whether

0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:26.080
<v Speaker 6>they get on drugs, they being depression, suicide of everything.

0:51:26.160 --> 0:51:29.040
<v Speaker 6>So imagine me looking on social media and seeing my

0:51:29.160 --> 0:51:32.000
<v Speaker 6>son like, man, I'm sick of this. I just want

0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.160
<v Speaker 6>to be able to hug my sister one more time.

0:51:34.360 --> 0:51:36.759
<v Speaker 6>Of course, my kids are strong and they you know,

0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 6>I'm not gonna ever let them follow victim to something

0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:39.440
<v Speaker 6>like that.

0:51:39.520 --> 0:51:41.239
<v Speaker 5>But the flip side is.

0:51:43.080 --> 0:51:45.239
<v Speaker 6>What if they was in the wrong environment on their

0:51:45.280 --> 0:51:46.760
<v Speaker 6>own they telling you how they feel.

0:51:46.960 --> 0:51:47.720
<v Speaker 2>It's everything.

0:51:48.040 --> 0:51:55.040
<v Speaker 4>Everybody is impacted. Everybody is impacted, friends, family, everybody's impacted.

0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:59.080
<v Speaker 4>And Tray, I look forward to the work that you

0:51:59.160 --> 0:52:01.959
<v Speaker 4>will do for five is because like my son, I've

0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:05.920
<v Speaker 4>received a number of people who have reached out to.

0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:08.239
<v Speaker 1>Say, you know, I'm going through this.

0:52:08.320 --> 0:52:12.120
<v Speaker 4>We have another friend right now who has been using

0:52:12.360 --> 0:52:15.200
<v Speaker 4>what is a smaller platform. He's just a regular guy,

0:52:15.400 --> 0:52:19.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, that is trying to.

0:52:17.960 --> 0:52:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Tell the courts people.

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:22.759
<v Speaker 4>Anybody who will listen that what is happening with his

0:52:23.000 --> 0:52:27.200
<v Speaker 4>child is wrong, you know, is wrong, and it's a

0:52:27.239 --> 0:52:32.200
<v Speaker 4>similar thing mom moves. Child is separated. Dad is flying

0:52:32.239 --> 0:52:34.799
<v Speaker 4>back and forth, paying for all of this travel back

0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:38.319
<v Speaker 4>and forth and having to deal with the ramifications of that,

0:52:38.560 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 4>and he does not have the resources that you have.

0:52:41.719 --> 0:52:45.319
<v Speaker 4>And so we've been hearing from people, and I think

0:52:45.400 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 4>the work that you intend to do in terms of

0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:50.520
<v Speaker 4>trying to look at what do we do legally and

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:55.960
<v Speaker 4>politically to help dads is where it's really like everything

0:52:56.000 --> 0:52:59.680
<v Speaker 4>that we experience is not being done to us before us.

0:53:00.080 --> 0:53:00.799
<v Speaker 1>So I hope that.

0:53:00.840 --> 0:53:04.719
<v Speaker 4>You can receive that and use it as fuel to

0:53:04.840 --> 0:53:08.080
<v Speaker 4>do really really important work. And you are the type

0:53:08.080 --> 0:53:11.239
<v Speaker 4>of person who could do this work because the men

0:53:11.640 --> 0:53:14.560
<v Speaker 4>who suffer in silence, people.

0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Who are you know, dudes that are like the real dudes.

0:53:19.000 --> 0:53:20.040
<v Speaker 1>Y'all know who I'm talking about.

0:53:20.080 --> 0:53:22.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know y'all call them stand up dudes, but

0:53:22.280 --> 0:53:24.960
<v Speaker 4>I don't know everybody's situation, So I can't call them

0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:28.880
<v Speaker 4>stand up without knowing the details of what has happened.

0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:31.520
<v Speaker 4>But I know that there are guys out here who

0:53:31.600 --> 0:53:34.640
<v Speaker 4>definitely need help navigating their situations.

0:53:34.640 --> 0:53:36.640
<v Speaker 1>And if they're wrong. They need to be told that

0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:37.400
<v Speaker 1>as well.

0:53:39.560 --> 0:53:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just want to say this one. You know,

0:53:42.160 --> 0:53:44.799
<v Speaker 3>it's my hope. You know, I don't know exactly what

0:53:44.960 --> 0:53:48.239
<v Speaker 3>we can actually do, you know, hopefully you know through

0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:51.319
<v Speaker 3>our podcast that we could just spread awareness, you know,

0:53:51.360 --> 0:53:54.799
<v Speaker 3>but ultimately I would like to see you and the

0:53:54.840 --> 0:53:58.800
<v Speaker 3>mother just figure out how do we make the best

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:00.000
<v Speaker 3>situation for truth.

0:54:00.640 --> 0:54:00.840
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:54:01.040 --> 0:54:06.600
<v Speaker 6>Ultimately I want to say this right and I tell

0:54:06.640 --> 0:54:10.720
<v Speaker 6>people man like I'm learning, you know, with God's growth

0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:12.440
<v Speaker 6>with a lot of things with me, and it's not

0:54:12.560 --> 0:54:16.560
<v Speaker 6>easy with growing. At first, I was angry, bro, I

0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:19.080
<v Speaker 6>just you know, I was just frustrated.

0:54:18.560 --> 0:54:19.120
<v Speaker 5>To the max.

0:54:19.680 --> 0:54:21.160
<v Speaker 6>But now you know what I do every day when

0:54:21.200 --> 0:54:23.600
<v Speaker 6>I pray, I still pray for Mama. Whatever she's dealing with,

0:54:24.360 --> 0:54:27.320
<v Speaker 6>He'll help her get through it. And once God feels

0:54:27.480 --> 0:54:30.279
<v Speaker 6>the right time, then we'll start taking baby steps to

0:54:30.320 --> 0:54:32.000
<v Speaker 6>try and figure it out. You know what I'm saying,

0:54:32.040 --> 0:54:36.799
<v Speaker 6>Because again, I don't want my child to only be

0:54:36.880 --> 0:54:39.479
<v Speaker 6>with one pin. But I am gonna protect my child

0:54:39.560 --> 0:54:42.680
<v Speaker 6>and make sure everything that needs to be done for

0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:45.040
<v Speaker 6>her is dumb for her, to make sure her will

0:54:45.040 --> 0:54:48.919
<v Speaker 6>of being and stuff. Because you got to understand when

0:54:48.920 --> 0:54:52.759
<v Speaker 6>a person it's called alienating when a person keeps a

0:54:52.880 --> 0:54:55.520
<v Speaker 6>child away to start grooming a child and not be

0:54:55.600 --> 0:54:59.360
<v Speaker 6>around you that way, or tell children certain things. That's

0:55:00.080 --> 0:55:03.120
<v Speaker 6>more that can be more damaging than you physically beating

0:55:03.120 --> 0:55:05.680
<v Speaker 6>a child too. All that damage goes in at once.

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:09.000
<v Speaker 6>So sometimes when people don't understand that that is a

0:55:09.080 --> 0:55:10.920
<v Speaker 6>problem and that's things that they do and that they

0:55:10.920 --> 0:55:13.359
<v Speaker 6>shouldn't do, you have to pray and hope that they

0:55:13.400 --> 0:55:15.400
<v Speaker 6>can get help, you know, And once they get that

0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:18.279
<v Speaker 6>proper help, we're gonna figure it out. Because one thing

0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:22.000
<v Speaker 6>about me, I love my daughter. Anything my daughter wants,

0:55:22.000 --> 0:55:25.680
<v Speaker 6>she gonna get. So if that's a constant ask for

0:55:25.760 --> 0:55:27.719
<v Speaker 6>her in that time, we're gonna figure out the way

0:55:27.760 --> 0:55:29.640
<v Speaker 6>to get it done. But it's gonna be done right

0:55:29.680 --> 0:55:34.480
<v Speaker 6>this time. I went through this six long years. Nobody

0:55:34.520 --> 0:55:38.160
<v Speaker 6>can imagine the pain I'd have been to war with

0:55:38.160 --> 0:55:41.320
<v Speaker 6>with dudes my whole life. I didn't been through everything

0:55:41.320 --> 0:55:43.879
<v Speaker 6>you could think of. Ain't nothing broke me the way

0:55:43.920 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 6>this situation broke me, you know what I'm saying. And

0:55:47.080 --> 0:55:49.800
<v Speaker 6>I'm just I'm getting to a point now where I

0:55:49.800 --> 0:55:53.319
<v Speaker 6>could finally talk where I don't be crying all the time,

0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.880
<v Speaker 6>and I'm getting there. I'm learning to have faith and

0:55:55.960 --> 0:55:57.759
<v Speaker 6>know that my child won't be back to me one day.

0:55:57.800 --> 0:56:01.839
<v Speaker 6>It's just on God's time. So I'm just working for it.

0:56:02.200 --> 0:56:04.439
<v Speaker 6>I'm working to do everything I can, and I'm still

0:56:04.520 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 6>gonna continue to do his work. When I get out

0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:10.000
<v Speaker 6>the phone with y'all, I'm literally going to a school.

0:56:10.040 --> 0:56:12.040
<v Speaker 5>You know what we did.

0:56:12.080 --> 0:56:15.320
<v Speaker 6>It's a lot of kids which I didn't I realized,

0:56:15.320 --> 0:56:16.920
<v Speaker 6>but I didn't realize. It's a lot of kids that

0:56:17.080 --> 0:56:19.360
<v Speaker 6>only able to eat when they at school for lunch.

0:56:19.880 --> 0:56:21.239
<v Speaker 5>They don't have nothing else at home.

0:56:21.920 --> 0:56:28.719
<v Speaker 6>So me and the Rockets Foundation we went yesterday bought

0:56:28.800 --> 0:56:31.680
<v Speaker 6>up majority of stuff at Kroger's and we took over

0:56:31.719 --> 0:56:34.000
<v Speaker 6>a classroom and created a grocery store so them and

0:56:34.040 --> 0:56:37.200
<v Speaker 6>their families can come shopping and then for the holidays

0:56:37.239 --> 0:56:38.720
<v Speaker 6>they'll have food and other stuff.

0:56:38.719 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 5>You know what I'm saying.

0:56:39.280 --> 0:56:41.480
<v Speaker 6>So I'm still gonna be doing the work, which I

0:56:41.520 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 6>work hard. Even with my kids around, they take part

0:56:44.080 --> 0:56:46.000
<v Speaker 6>in that. Like when I go do stuff, Truth be

0:56:46.120 --> 0:56:49.080
<v Speaker 6>right there along directing me, telling me what I need

0:56:49.120 --> 0:56:50.840
<v Speaker 6>to do, what she likes and what she don't like.

0:56:50.960 --> 0:56:53.800
<v Speaker 6>So you know, it's just gonna be a process.

0:56:53.840 --> 0:56:53.960
<v Speaker 5>Man.

0:56:54.080 --> 0:56:56.319
<v Speaker 6>Only thing. The message that I want to get out

0:56:56.360 --> 0:57:00.759
<v Speaker 6>there is one. If you see my baby, the proce them,

0:57:01.000 --> 0:57:03.160
<v Speaker 6>don't bother the mama, don't do none of That's simply

0:57:03.239 --> 0:57:05.880
<v Speaker 6>called nine one one or one of the agencies that

0:57:05.920 --> 0:57:07.920
<v Speaker 6>can get me my child because we're just trying to

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:10.960
<v Speaker 6>find them. If you're a friend to a real friend,

0:57:11.000 --> 0:57:13.799
<v Speaker 6>don't watch your friends crash out. You know right from wrong.

0:57:14.239 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 6>Only thing I can ask you is put yourself in

0:57:16.920 --> 0:57:19.480
<v Speaker 6>my shoes. What if that was your child? Would you

0:57:19.480 --> 0:57:21.240
<v Speaker 6>want somebody to help you or would you want somebody

0:57:21.280 --> 0:57:22.800
<v Speaker 6>to tell the person that took your child?

0:57:23.240 --> 0:57:25.760
<v Speaker 5>Hey, you know what, this ain't right. I understand you hurt.

0:57:25.840 --> 0:57:30.000
<v Speaker 6>I understand you may feel some way because it didn't

0:57:30.080 --> 0:57:32.160
<v Speaker 6>go away this time. But at the end of the day,

0:57:32.440 --> 0:57:35.000
<v Speaker 6>it's not about your feelings. It's about the best interests

0:57:35.040 --> 0:57:35.600
<v Speaker 6>of the baby.

0:57:35.920 --> 0:57:37.840
<v Speaker 4>That's it, you know. And I heard you, my son

0:57:37.920 --> 0:57:41.640
<v Speaker 4>and what you said, And we do pray that the

0:57:41.920 --> 0:57:45.200
<v Speaker 4>parents will be able to come together for the sake

0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:50.040
<v Speaker 4>of truth and find a path to navigate through this.

0:57:50.480 --> 0:57:52.280
<v Speaker 4>But I will say that if you are a friend

0:57:52.320 --> 0:57:54.800
<v Speaker 4>who's out there listening and you know how to reach

0:57:55.640 --> 0:57:58.800
<v Speaker 4>truth's mom or you're somehow in touch with her. The

0:57:58.920 --> 0:58:03.160
<v Speaker 4>courts are a real problem because what happens with judges

0:58:03.240 --> 0:58:06.600
<v Speaker 4>is that after a while they start saying, I don't

0:58:06.640 --> 0:58:08.600
<v Speaker 4>really care what any of the parents have to say.

0:58:08.600 --> 0:58:10.960
<v Speaker 4>Now I got a problem with you, you know, And

0:58:11.240 --> 0:58:14.120
<v Speaker 4>that's what I think needs to be addressed, so that

0:58:14.240 --> 0:58:17.520
<v Speaker 4>by the time they are able to they hit court again,

0:58:18.760 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 4>they have worked things out, at least to the point

0:58:21.200 --> 0:58:24.200
<v Speaker 4>where the courts might be like a little bit more

0:58:24.280 --> 0:58:27.080
<v Speaker 4>conscious that. Okay, they look like they're trying to come together.

0:58:27.480 --> 0:58:30.640
<v Speaker 4>But without that, I don't know what happens. Because it's

0:58:30.680 --> 0:58:33.560
<v Speaker 4>a crime when you take a child and run, and

0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:35.280
<v Speaker 4>so I just want all the people.

0:58:35.480 --> 0:58:43.160
<v Speaker 5>I don't think it's such things breaking up.

0:58:43.760 --> 0:58:46.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't think it's a such thing as kidnapping. That

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:49.920
<v Speaker 6>is a real thing. It is that like it doesn't

0:58:49.960 --> 0:58:53.560
<v Speaker 6>matter which parent is. Like I've had people who gave

0:58:53.600 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 6>me their stories and said that the father mayor came

0:58:58.600 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 6>and got the child from school and they ain't seen

0:59:01.280 --> 0:59:05.280
<v Speaker 6>their child in two or three years. Kidnapping, it's no way,

0:59:05.320 --> 0:59:06.280
<v Speaker 6>it's no whey around it.

0:59:06.960 --> 0:59:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Both parents. It is the law.

0:59:09.560 --> 0:59:12.960
<v Speaker 4>The law I'm sure in all states but maybe the

0:59:13.000 --> 0:59:17.000
<v Speaker 4>majority of states that you cannot even move out of

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:22.480
<v Speaker 4>the state with children without the other parent consenting to it.

0:59:22.600 --> 0:59:26.240
<v Speaker 4>You cannot you can't get a passport for a child

0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:30.680
<v Speaker 4>unless the other parent. Both parents can consent, or you

0:59:30.840 --> 0:59:34.080
<v Speaker 4>have some kind of notarized documentation that shows that the

0:59:34.120 --> 0:59:39.240
<v Speaker 4>parent is unable to be there sick or or incarceration

0:59:39.440 --> 0:59:43.200
<v Speaker 4>or hasn't been around or whatever. There's rules that protect

0:59:43.240 --> 0:59:46.680
<v Speaker 4>both parents. And so in this situation, again, I hope

0:59:46.680 --> 0:59:49.360
<v Speaker 4>you get contacted and truth comes back to you without

0:59:49.360 --> 0:59:51.920
<v Speaker 4>it having to go through the legal system. But right

0:59:51.960 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 4>now that judge who made this decision is probably sitting

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:59.320
<v Speaker 4>there saying, people think, you know, I'm playing and I'm

0:59:59.320 --> 1:00:02.280
<v Speaker 4>a judge, So what I say is what I say,

1:00:02.640 --> 1:00:05.880
<v Speaker 4>and it didn't happen. And now there's that, there is

1:00:05.960 --> 1:00:08.160
<v Speaker 4>that to deal with, and you know us, we don't

1:00:08.240 --> 1:00:10.640
<v Speaker 4>like to go talk to the judge about nothing unless

1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:13.160
<v Speaker 4>it's about why is hurting our people.

1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:15.880
<v Speaker 6>And lastly, the thing that you know some of the

1:00:15.880 --> 1:00:18.600
<v Speaker 6>people is trying to paint the narrative is, oh man,

1:00:18.640 --> 1:00:20.640
<v Speaker 6>you want to get locked up, Like I don't think

1:00:20.640 --> 1:00:23.040
<v Speaker 6>they really know what happens, Like if you take a

1:00:23.120 --> 1:00:25.800
<v Speaker 6>child and you cross state lines, that's feed them.

1:00:25.840 --> 1:00:27.040
<v Speaker 5>It don't matter who it is.

1:00:27.600 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 6>Then, on top of that, when you go to playing

1:00:30.720 --> 1:00:35.000
<v Speaker 6>with any type of court papers and them both courts

1:00:35.080 --> 1:00:38.160
<v Speaker 6>converse with each other, that's going to be a problem.

1:00:38.480 --> 1:00:41.280
<v Speaker 6>If a judge orders you to bring a child and

1:00:41.360 --> 1:00:44.800
<v Speaker 6>you run, that's going to be a problem. So that

1:00:44.920 --> 1:00:47.640
<v Speaker 6>part is out of my hands, you know what I'm saying.

1:00:47.680 --> 1:00:49.480
<v Speaker 6>I can't do nothing about that. At the end of

1:00:49.520 --> 1:00:51.360
<v Speaker 6>the day, I can't do nothing but focus on truth.

1:00:51.840 --> 1:00:52.200
<v Speaker 5>That's it.

1:00:52.840 --> 1:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you, Trey. We appreciate you for joining us.

1:00:55.000 --> 1:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>We love you.

1:00:56.880 --> 1:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>We're here for you, ma'am.

1:00:59.080 --> 1:01:05.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, we know we both know trade and

1:01:05.480 --> 1:01:08.880
<v Speaker 3>we know how selfless he is. And you know, even

1:01:08.960 --> 1:01:11.000
<v Speaker 3>in his time, he's talking about how he's going to

1:01:11.040 --> 1:01:14.880
<v Speaker 3>schools and feeding you know, kids who might not have food.

1:01:15.080 --> 1:01:18.120
<v Speaker 3>And we've seen him during hurricane season still out there

1:01:18.160 --> 1:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>helping people and going to the hospitals visiting elderly people.

1:01:21.800 --> 1:01:26.040
<v Speaker 3>He's always, you know, doing something that is a selfless

1:01:26.080 --> 1:01:28.880
<v Speaker 3>act and helping other people. So to see him, a

1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:31.120
<v Speaker 3>person who gives so much of himself, go through something

1:01:31.160 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 3>like this is you know, it's kind of heartbreaking, you know,

1:01:33.720 --> 1:01:38.440
<v Speaker 3>like I said, I wish that there's a reconciliation, you know,

1:01:39.040 --> 1:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>that they're able to co payment properly, because I you know,

1:01:42.000 --> 1:01:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm none of us. He doesn't even want a child

1:01:45.240 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 3>not to be with the mother, you know, he just

1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 3>wants to have access and be and know that his

1:01:49.400 --> 1:01:52.240
<v Speaker 3>child is safe. You know, I'm just hoping that God

1:01:52.320 --> 1:01:55.240
<v Speaker 3>sees fit to make all of this happen and make

1:01:55.280 --> 1:01:57.560
<v Speaker 3>it right and make the best situation for truth.

1:01:58.080 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:01:58.360 --> 1:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely.

1:01:59.000 --> 1:02:01.040
<v Speaker 4>And you know what I want to say that we

1:02:01.360 --> 1:02:03.320
<v Speaker 4>I was getting ready to say, and I had to

1:02:04.840 --> 1:02:09.120
<v Speaker 4>rethink while you were speaking my next words because I

1:02:09.160 --> 1:02:12.080
<v Speaker 4>was gonna say, y'all don't always make the best decisions

1:02:12.160 --> 1:02:16.480
<v Speaker 4>as men, and and and then I thought, we as

1:02:16.600 --> 1:02:21.560
<v Speaker 4>humans don't always make the best decisions. And you know,

1:02:22.000 --> 1:02:25.400
<v Speaker 4>I think that there's so many lessons to come from this,

1:02:25.600 --> 1:02:30.000
<v Speaker 4>because so many times we have children because we.

1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Like people or we you know, we're having a good time,

1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:33.480
<v Speaker 1>we like.

1:02:33.560 --> 1:02:39.600
<v Speaker 4>You, things happen, relationships or whatever happened, and then you know,

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:43.040
<v Speaker 4>you don't even know the type of visceral reaction that

1:02:43.120 --> 1:02:46.840
<v Speaker 4>can come from breaking up or not being together or

1:02:46.880 --> 1:02:50.280
<v Speaker 4>not whatever whatever issues. I'm not it's not my place,

1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:54.200
<v Speaker 4>nor do I care to try to debate the specifics

1:02:54.240 --> 1:02:57.400
<v Speaker 4>of relationships, but it is a lesson that we do

1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:02.200
<v Speaker 4>have to monitor, how know we what we choose to

1:03:02.240 --> 1:03:05.400
<v Speaker 4>get ourselves involved with. This is for women and for men,

1:03:05.960 --> 1:03:09.200
<v Speaker 4>right because when it's all, when the shit all hits

1:03:09.240 --> 1:03:12.000
<v Speaker 4>the fan, you look back and you may or may

1:03:12.040 --> 1:03:14.640
<v Speaker 4>not have even seen the signs. You might not have

1:03:14.960 --> 1:03:17.800
<v Speaker 4>You may have missed the signs because you didn't even

1:03:17.840 --> 1:03:20.760
<v Speaker 4>really know the person you were dealing with, or you

1:03:20.880 --> 1:03:22.720
<v Speaker 4>might have been with a person and you didn't know

1:03:22.760 --> 1:03:24.640
<v Speaker 4>them and you didn't see the signs because you didn't

1:03:24.720 --> 1:03:27.880
<v Speaker 4>choose to at the time, And then here we are

1:03:28.080 --> 1:03:31.320
<v Speaker 4>living a nightmare. So I think that's a big lesson

1:03:31.760 --> 1:03:35.920
<v Speaker 4>that comes out of all of this, all of these situations.

1:03:35.960 --> 1:03:40.320
<v Speaker 4>And I pray, I pray so much that this sister

1:03:40.400 --> 1:03:43.920
<v Speaker 4>will show up with this baby and that the courts

1:03:43.960 --> 1:03:46.919
<v Speaker 4>will be lenient on her because they know that she's

1:03:46.960 --> 1:03:51.400
<v Speaker 4>dealing with the stress of the mental health is real

1:03:52.080 --> 1:03:55.919
<v Speaker 4>and the shit that we as women deal with. Sometimes

1:03:55.960 --> 1:03:58.640
<v Speaker 4>we step out of our right mind when we're dealing

1:03:58.720 --> 1:04:01.400
<v Speaker 4>with pain or hurt from a relationship.

1:04:01.480 --> 1:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>That's what we do.

1:04:02.440 --> 1:04:05.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's just the truth, and I pray that

1:04:05.240 --> 1:04:08.320
<v Speaker 4>they will see that and understand it. And really, more

1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:13.080
<v Speaker 4>so than condemning or sending her to jail or whatever,

1:04:13.440 --> 1:04:15.200
<v Speaker 4>I pray that they will send her and force her

1:04:15.240 --> 1:04:18.360
<v Speaker 4>to make sure she's having her mental health dealt with

1:04:18.680 --> 1:04:22.320
<v Speaker 4>so that she could be at peace with herself, with truth,

1:04:22.440 --> 1:04:23.680
<v Speaker 4>with with.

1:04:24.040 --> 1:04:26.960
<v Speaker 1>Whoever and whatever, and hopefully one day would.

1:04:26.760 --> 1:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Train from your mouth to God's e.

1:04:31.120 --> 1:04:37.640
<v Speaker 4>Because nobody's perfect. Men don't be being perfect, that's all.

1:04:37.640 --> 1:04:42.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't care. I don't care how many people y'all feed.

1:04:43.080 --> 1:04:46.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't care how many things y'all do, where you

1:04:46.920 --> 1:04:51.920
<v Speaker 4>go whatever. I don't care y'all quote and quote high

1:04:52.120 --> 1:04:58.480
<v Speaker 4>value men. Y'all a mess. So that's that's right there.

1:04:58.600 --> 1:05:02.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm get into the high men because that's a whole

1:05:02.560 --> 1:05:04.480
<v Speaker 3>nother thing that y'all got going on the internet. I

1:05:04.520 --> 1:05:07.240
<v Speaker 3>don't even engage in them conversations. I just know who

1:05:07.360 --> 1:05:10.080
<v Speaker 3>I am, and that's just what that is, and that

1:05:10.200 --> 1:05:13.600
<v Speaker 3>brings me to my I don't get you know, it's

1:05:13.760 --> 1:05:16.240
<v Speaker 3>you know, we've been in this political season.

1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:19.000
<v Speaker 2>We're just getting over this election.

1:05:19.960 --> 1:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, people feel how they feel about the candidates

1:05:23.120 --> 1:05:26.840
<v Speaker 3>this and that, you know, and I'm always critical about everybody.

1:05:26.880 --> 1:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I've always said, listen, I don't have any party. I'm

1:05:31.480 --> 1:05:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm loyal to my agenda. I'm one to black people.

1:05:35.240 --> 1:05:38.160
<v Speaker 3>I want to see black people being the best position possible,

1:05:38.640 --> 1:05:41.400
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I want the issues that are going

1:05:41.440 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 3>to affect black people to be highlighted. I want people

1:05:44.880 --> 1:05:48.160
<v Speaker 3>to be in positions of power that can change, you know,

1:05:48.400 --> 1:05:49.920
<v Speaker 3>the issues that affect black people.

1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:51.959
<v Speaker 2>I want to see black people in a position power.

1:05:52.040 --> 1:05:52.640
<v Speaker 2>So I've been.

1:05:52.960 --> 1:05:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Adamant about that, you know, as it looks right now,

1:05:57.400 --> 1:06:00.040
<v Speaker 3>pretty much most of those things, in my opinion, I

1:06:00.080 --> 1:06:03.520
<v Speaker 3>have come from the Democratic Party, so I tend to

1:06:03.640 --> 1:06:06.400
<v Speaker 3>lean and speak about a lot of Democrats in a

1:06:06.440 --> 1:06:09.400
<v Speaker 3>positive manner, and I still called them out. And this

1:06:09.480 --> 1:06:11.080
<v Speaker 3>is one of the times when we called them out.

1:06:11.440 --> 1:06:11.640
<v Speaker 5>You know.

1:06:12.200 --> 1:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Last week I spoke about Joe Biden granted partons and

1:06:17.320 --> 1:06:21.360
<v Speaker 3>clemency to over fifteen hundred people thirty nine you know,

1:06:21.480 --> 1:06:24.840
<v Speaker 3>on pardons and over fifteen hundred clemencies, which broke the

1:06:24.880 --> 1:06:27.720
<v Speaker 3>record for one day. And you know, I thought that

1:06:27.880 --> 1:06:31.440
<v Speaker 3>was something positive that a lot of people that have

1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:35.000
<v Speaker 3>been incarcerated unfairly, you know, especially for my communities, and

1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>we know, if they've ben fifteen hundred people released, there's

1:06:39.840 --> 1:06:42.600
<v Speaker 3>a good chunk of them that come from you know,

1:06:42.640 --> 1:06:46.040
<v Speaker 3>our communities that are black and you know Latino that

1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:47.680
<v Speaker 3>come from marginalized communities.

1:06:47.720 --> 1:06:51.240
<v Speaker 2>So that was something that I wanted to highlight and congratulate.

1:06:51.280 --> 1:06:54.280
<v Speaker 3>I said, Okay, Joe, you know, but this new part

1:06:54.400 --> 1:06:59.000
<v Speaker 3>that I found out that he gave to the Cash

1:06:59.040 --> 1:06:59.800
<v Speaker 3>for Kids.

1:06:59.600 --> 1:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Judge, Now it was like, what, like, how did this

1:07:05.760 --> 1:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>even happen?

1:07:06.520 --> 1:07:12.280
<v Speaker 3>Like, explain to me how a president gives a judge

1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 3>of pardon who was convicted of giving sending kids to

1:07:17.960 --> 1:07:22.720
<v Speaker 3>detention centers in jails in exchange for cash, Like.

1:07:22.720 --> 1:07:25.439
<v Speaker 2>How do you justify that? What is the mind state

1:07:25.520 --> 1:07:28.480
<v Speaker 2>that even comes with a situation like that? I just

1:07:28.560 --> 1:07:29.440
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't get it.

1:07:29.480 --> 1:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>I just didn't understand, you know, and I had to

1:07:32.760 --> 1:07:35.520
<v Speaker 3>call it out because in all honesty and fanness, it's

1:07:35.520 --> 1:07:38.160
<v Speaker 3>some shit that went against what it is that I represent,

1:07:38.280 --> 1:07:41.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, it went against my moral compass, and I'm

1:07:41.600 --> 1:07:44.600
<v Speaker 3>and there's so many other people. You know, we have

1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:47.520
<v Speaker 3>per Russian who's trying to come home and shouldn't be

1:07:47.560 --> 1:07:50.440
<v Speaker 3>in jail. You know, we have brothers who I know,

1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:54.400
<v Speaker 3>my friends who've been in jail for doing life, that's

1:07:54.400 --> 1:07:58.400
<v Speaker 3>still doing life for drug you know, for drug convictions,

1:07:58.600 --> 1:08:01.280
<v Speaker 3>and they're sitting up in jail with life sentences and

1:08:01.360 --> 1:08:05.360
<v Speaker 3>you you pardon the man who is you know, found

1:08:05.360 --> 1:08:11.240
<v Speaker 3>guilty of giving kids jail sentences in exchange for cash.

1:08:12.040 --> 1:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>Come on joke, like like like who's who's authorizing this,

1:08:16.920 --> 1:08:19.040
<v Speaker 3>Who's in the sitting there and saying, yeah, this makes sense,

1:08:19.200 --> 1:08:19.920
<v Speaker 3>sign this one.

1:08:21.640 --> 1:08:22.280
<v Speaker 2>What's the sense?

1:08:23.280 --> 1:08:29.960
<v Speaker 4>Pardons and clemency and all of that. Advocacy relationships are

1:08:29.960 --> 1:08:32.920
<v Speaker 4>a big part of it. There's some part of it

1:08:32.960 --> 1:08:38.120
<v Speaker 4>that is about categories. So for instance, Obama wanted to

1:08:38.160 --> 1:08:43.559
<v Speaker 4>do something massive around uh, nonviolent drug offenders. Right, So

1:08:43.600 --> 1:08:47.960
<v Speaker 4>he was attempting to do a big massive sweep of

1:08:48.000 --> 1:08:51.880
<v Speaker 4>like letting people out, get granting them pardons and clemency

1:08:52.240 --> 1:08:54.920
<v Speaker 4>right as he was getting ready to leave office, and

1:08:57.479 --> 1:09:01.479
<v Speaker 4>the Republicans would not allow him to sort of like

1:09:01.600 --> 1:09:03.639
<v Speaker 4>change rules because you kind of got to do it

1:09:04.120 --> 1:09:08.200
<v Speaker 4>one body individually, sign individuals. It's kind of like very

1:09:08.240 --> 1:09:11.920
<v Speaker 4>small groupings. It's very small and very tedious, and he

1:09:12.080 --> 1:09:12.880
<v Speaker 4>wanted to like.

1:09:13.320 --> 1:09:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Just you literally have to sign each one of them.

1:09:15.640 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 4>Literally, So he wanted to do like some type of

1:09:19.760 --> 1:09:24.960
<v Speaker 4>mass pardon and that that didn't work out. But it's

1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:27.840
<v Speaker 4>also about relationships. Is who knows who that can talk

1:09:27.880 --> 1:09:32.759
<v Speaker 4>to somebody. And the thing for me is like Joe

1:09:32.800 --> 1:09:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Biden has never been our savior.

1:09:35.520 --> 1:09:36.439
<v Speaker 1>We never thought so.

1:09:38.080 --> 1:09:41.960
<v Speaker 4>Most cases, people just didn't want Trump the president, and

1:09:42.000 --> 1:09:43.840
<v Speaker 4>that's why they voted for Joe Biden.

1:09:43.960 --> 1:09:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Certainly that was my situation. And when he's done things like.

1:09:51.040 --> 1:09:57.519
<v Speaker 4>College debt forgiveness and things like that, I've said, you

1:09:57.560 --> 1:10:00.160
<v Speaker 4>know what, this is good joke, keep going this what

1:10:00.240 --> 1:10:03.960
<v Speaker 4>we need, you know, and other things that he's done.

1:10:04.400 --> 1:10:07.920
<v Speaker 4>The Supreme Court justices, the judges on the bench, on

1:10:07.960 --> 1:10:12.880
<v Speaker 4>the federal courts, his Department of Justice was extremely progressive

1:10:12.920 --> 1:10:16.120
<v Speaker 4>in terms of addressing the issues of police violence and

1:10:16.840 --> 1:10:22.920
<v Speaker 4>civil rights abuses in different municipalities. Just got a consent

1:10:23.000 --> 1:10:28.240
<v Speaker 4>decree in Louisville, Kentucky, where the Department of Justice found

1:10:28.280 --> 1:10:31.400
<v Speaker 4>that in the wake of Breonna Taylor, that they had

1:10:31.479 --> 1:10:35.280
<v Speaker 4>been violating the civil rights of the citizens of Louisville,

1:10:35.400 --> 1:10:40.439
<v Speaker 4>and people fought and organized to get that consent decree

1:10:40.600 --> 1:10:44.880
<v Speaker 4>signed by the mayor there in.

1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:45.799
<v Speaker 1>The city of Louisville.

1:10:45.840 --> 1:10:48.080
<v Speaker 4>And to his credit, he has said, even when the

1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:50.960
<v Speaker 4>new administration comes in, which we know that the new

1:10:51.000 --> 1:10:55.360
<v Speaker 4>administration's position is more police community, more safety for police.

1:10:56.200 --> 1:10:59.240
<v Speaker 4>You know, these standards that we are attempting to set,

1:10:59.320 --> 1:11:02.599
<v Speaker 4>they don't believe it them at all for the most part.

1:11:03.080 --> 1:11:05.920
<v Speaker 4>And this mayor has said, I would still keep the

1:11:05.960 --> 1:11:08.960
<v Speaker 4>consent decree and continue to work on the issues that

1:11:09.080 --> 1:11:14.080
<v Speaker 4>the Department of Justice they're findings about the issues within

1:11:14.160 --> 1:11:17.120
<v Speaker 4>their police department. And so again we speak on that.

1:11:17.320 --> 1:11:24.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, I have also not so much praise, but

1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:31.759
<v Speaker 4>I've highlighted the administrations work around gun violence and making

1:11:31.800 --> 1:11:37.080
<v Speaker 4>sure that smaller grassroots organizations get the resources that they need,

1:11:37.120 --> 1:11:40.320
<v Speaker 4>and that cities get the resources it needs to distribute

1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:44.599
<v Speaker 4>for smaller grassroots groups to do the work of ending

1:11:44.640 --> 1:11:48.440
<v Speaker 4>gun violence in our communities or at least reducing it significantly.

1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:50.880
<v Speaker 1>So there are things that I can speak to.

1:11:51.800 --> 1:11:56.759
<v Speaker 4>And as it relates to this particular situation, it's wrong, period.

1:11:57.120 --> 1:12:00.000
<v Speaker 4>There's nothing else to be said about it. It's actually discussed.

1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:04.639
<v Speaker 4>And what is further discussing is the genocide.

1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:06.120
<v Speaker 1>That UH that.

1:12:07.680 --> 1:12:13.880
<v Speaker 4>UH President Biden and the Biden Harris administration has been supplying,

1:12:14.080 --> 1:12:17.439
<v Speaker 4>paying for funding. And so when you think about that,

1:12:17.680 --> 1:12:22.719
<v Speaker 4>the genocide, the cash for kids, the desire to give

1:12:22.760 --> 1:12:25.960
<v Speaker 4>police more money, not to actually balance the budgets and

1:12:26.000 --> 1:12:28.759
<v Speaker 4>take money from police departments to put it into things

1:12:28.800 --> 1:12:33.559
<v Speaker 4>like mental health and housing and and food securities. You know,

1:12:33.760 --> 1:12:36.640
<v Speaker 4>these this, these are things that we have an issue with.

1:12:37.439 --> 1:12:40.759
<v Speaker 4>And I just want to say to all the people

1:12:40.800 --> 1:12:44.840
<v Speaker 4>who are out there who want to use this opportunity

1:12:44.840 --> 1:12:48.280
<v Speaker 4>to say, oh, my son, you you how could you

1:12:48.320 --> 1:12:49.720
<v Speaker 4>look at how you support and.

1:12:51.240 --> 1:12:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Uh uh Joe.

1:12:52.640 --> 1:12:55.240
<v Speaker 4>Biden and you support him over here, but now you

1:12:55.320 --> 1:12:56.439
<v Speaker 4>want to be upset with him.

1:12:56.600 --> 1:12:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Oh you you know, pick a side.

1:12:58.080 --> 1:13:00.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh, that's right, because the Democrats ain't no good and

1:13:00.800 --> 1:13:02.920
<v Speaker 4>that's why you shouldn't be with them ever, and blah

1:13:02.960 --> 1:13:03.800
<v Speaker 4>blah blah.

1:13:04.120 --> 1:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>Some of these the same.

1:13:05.200 --> 1:13:11.240
<v Speaker 4>People that think that Jordan Nearly's murderer, Daniel Penny right,

1:13:11.600 --> 1:13:14.519
<v Speaker 4>that he should never have been at a football game,

1:13:14.760 --> 1:13:18.840
<v Speaker 4>a football game with the president elect and the vice

1:13:18.880 --> 1:13:24.679
<v Speaker 4>president elect being celebrated after he murdered somebody for yelling

1:13:24.960 --> 1:13:28.160
<v Speaker 4>and for being agitated and hungry and thirsty as he

1:13:28.320 --> 1:13:31.600
<v Speaker 4>said on the train. They don't like that. They like,

1:13:31.800 --> 1:13:33.720
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he should have done that. So if

1:13:33.760 --> 1:13:38.000
<v Speaker 4>it's okay with you that your racist as president does

1:13:38.040 --> 1:13:40.840
<v Speaker 4>those types of things to show his racism, and you

1:13:40.880 --> 1:13:43.840
<v Speaker 4>could still support him because he might bring down the

1:13:43.880 --> 1:13:46.800
<v Speaker 4>prices of eggs and bread, and you think when he

1:13:46.880 --> 1:13:48.160
<v Speaker 4>already undersaid he might.

1:13:48.040 --> 1:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>Not even be able to do that.

1:13:49.880 --> 1:13:54.479
<v Speaker 4>And somehow you believe that being close to him, as

1:13:54.800 --> 1:13:58.559
<v Speaker 4>a white man who supposedly has money, it might make

1:13:58.640 --> 1:14:01.920
<v Speaker 4>you a part of the Handmaid's Hell family. You can

1:14:01.960 --> 1:14:04.080
<v Speaker 4>accept that, So then you should just be okay with

1:14:04.160 --> 1:14:07.439
<v Speaker 4>the fact that sometimes we like Joe Biden's decisions and

1:14:07.520 --> 1:14:08.559
<v Speaker 4>sometimes we don't.

1:14:09.439 --> 1:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>And that's and that's what it is like. I I

1:14:11.400 --> 1:14:12.000
<v Speaker 2>try to tell.

1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:15.320
<v Speaker 3>People, these are not I don't have no allegiance to

1:14:15.360 --> 1:14:18.400
<v Speaker 3>any of these people. These you know, I'm looking at

1:14:18.400 --> 1:14:21.120
<v Speaker 3>a situation. I'm saying who I think is the best person,

1:14:21.160 --> 1:14:23.680
<v Speaker 3>who fits my morals, who fits the things that I

1:14:23.720 --> 1:14:27.280
<v Speaker 3>stand for most, And even though none of them completely

1:14:27.600 --> 1:14:29.760
<v Speaker 3>mirror who I am as a man, I know that

1:14:29.800 --> 1:14:32.640
<v Speaker 3>Trump is just way further away from what it is

1:14:32.640 --> 1:14:35.360
<v Speaker 3>that I see a man than Trump then than body is.

1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:38.760
<v Speaker 3>But I'm gonna call Biden out. I'm gonna call anybody

1:14:38.800 --> 1:14:40.920
<v Speaker 3>out because that's the reality what it is. Because I'm

1:14:40.920 --> 1:14:43.519
<v Speaker 3>gonna speak truth to power. I don't drink the kool aid.

1:14:43.760 --> 1:14:45.519
<v Speaker 3>You know, the reality of what it is with me

1:14:45.720 --> 1:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>is if I see something wrong, I can say it

1:14:48.520 --> 1:14:50.960
<v Speaker 3>because I don't care about I'm not I'm not part

1:14:51.000 --> 1:14:52.639
<v Speaker 3>of no no Maga cult.

1:14:52.720 --> 1:14:54.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm not part of no cult.

1:14:54.120 --> 1:14:57.040
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing about Joe Biden that makes me feel like

1:14:57.080 --> 1:14:59.800
<v Speaker 3>I gotta defend him. If he do some bullshit, I'm

1:15:00.000 --> 1:15:01.960
<v Speaker 3>say is bullshit. When he does some good shit, i'm

1:15:01.960 --> 1:15:04.200
<v Speaker 3>gonna say, Okay, that's what I'm talking about. That's the

1:15:04.240 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 3>reason why I did this. When you do some shit

1:15:06.240 --> 1:15:08.000
<v Speaker 3>like this, I'm gonna say it's the worst shit ever.

1:15:08.479 --> 1:15:11.160
<v Speaker 3>And you know, and and I created a song called

1:15:11.160 --> 1:15:13.840
<v Speaker 3>none of these Presidents represent Me because they actually don't

1:15:13.880 --> 1:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>represent me. They actually represent the United States of America.

1:15:17.280 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 3>And unfortunately, I mean fortunately, you know, I have to

1:15:19.960 --> 1:15:22.639
<v Speaker 3>live here. You know, I love America, and I'm happy

1:15:22.720 --> 1:15:24.680
<v Speaker 3>to be here. But one of these people are going

1:15:24.720 --> 1:15:27.080
<v Speaker 3>to run this country. And we see who's running now.

1:15:27.400 --> 1:15:30.839
<v Speaker 3>So for now, while Joe Biden is still in the office,

1:15:31.000 --> 1:15:35.600
<v Speaker 3>as he makes whatever transitions, and you know, whatever decisions

1:15:35.600 --> 1:15:38.400
<v Speaker 3>he makes, I'm gonna say, either they're good or they're bad, and.

1:15:38.360 --> 1:15:40.519
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna speak on it. And then when Trump gets in.

1:15:40.479 --> 1:15:43.080
<v Speaker 3>Office, and if he does some good shit ever, Okay,

1:15:43.320 --> 1:15:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Trump did some good ship it is it is my best.

1:15:47.400 --> 1:15:49.880
<v Speaker 3>It would make me feel so good if I'm wrong

1:15:50.000 --> 1:15:52.800
<v Speaker 3>about Trump. If Trump gets in the White House and

1:15:52.840 --> 1:15:55.480
<v Speaker 3>he do all the shit, he can stop the genocide,

1:15:55.520 --> 1:15:58.840
<v Speaker 3>he can bring the economy back, he can stop war,

1:15:59.160 --> 1:16:02.960
<v Speaker 3>he can actually to increase race, you know, on relations

1:16:02.960 --> 1:16:03.519
<v Speaker 3>in America.

1:16:03.640 --> 1:16:04.920
<v Speaker 2>He could stop police from killed.

1:16:04.960 --> 1:16:07.000
<v Speaker 3>If he could do all of that ship that y'all said,

1:16:07.520 --> 1:16:09.640
<v Speaker 3>I would be I would be elated.

1:16:09.280 --> 1:16:10.920
<v Speaker 2>I just don't believe it.

1:16:10.960 --> 1:16:13.400
<v Speaker 3>There's nothing that he's ever said or done that makes

1:16:13.400 --> 1:16:15.320
<v Speaker 3>me believe that he could do that. But I would

1:16:15.360 --> 1:16:17.080
<v Speaker 3>be elated if he could do that. You think I

1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:19.080
<v Speaker 3>want to sit in the country that's fucked up? You

1:16:19.120 --> 1:16:21.519
<v Speaker 3>think I want to watch somebody destroy a country where

1:16:21.520 --> 1:16:22.280
<v Speaker 3>I live at Hell?

1:16:22.439 --> 1:16:23.880
<v Speaker 1>No, So I'm rooting for.

1:16:24.000 --> 1:16:25.040
<v Speaker 2>I want to see him when.

1:16:25.400 --> 1:16:28.080
<v Speaker 3>I just don't see how with the with the strategy,

1:16:28.080 --> 1:16:30.920
<v Speaker 3>in the mindset he has. But listen, I'm all for

1:16:31.160 --> 1:16:33.720
<v Speaker 3>And if he when and when and if he does

1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:38.280
<v Speaker 3>something positive, I'm gonna say he did some positive and

1:16:38.320 --> 1:16:43.720
