But before 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.839 that he came to me said, well, I got this idea. 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.440 I want to I want you to be a ghetto boy. 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:38.279 And I'm like, no, I don't want being a group, 0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.000 like I don't want group and uh and he was like, 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:48.120 uh yeah, man, uh, I got this dude on the 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:51.240 South Side at the time.

You know, like who 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:58.200 influenced you? Who was that person that you looked at 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.080 and said, man, you know, and I like how he 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.440 moved you know. I want to and I want to 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.400 pick up some of those days. Yeah, I would have 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.880 to say. It begun with my mother, you know what 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:12.640 I mean. It begun with my mother. Always tell everybody 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:16.640 over my my hero. Wow. I mean, so I watched 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.000 I watched her, I watched her struggles, you know what 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.080 I mean. I watched the movements, and uh, I was 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.880 influenced bomb And then it was my grandmother, you know 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:29.679 what I mean, the same thing, you know, the work 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:35.520 ethic um, the struggles, the trials and tribulations like inspired 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:38.760 me as a as a youth, as a young boy, 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.480 and and I vowed at the age of like seven 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.600 eight years old, and I wanted to be the one 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.360 to break the poverty curse that existed in my family. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:51.520 Because you know, every month people was crying and different 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:55.080 things over lights, getting cut off, we didn't have food 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:59.080 to eat, you know, different things like that. So yeah, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:03.440 my eyes laid on my mother, grandmother first, and from 0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:06.400 now you know, I was I was willing to risk 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.320 my life for that, for them to be able to 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.000 have what they wanted, you know, and that's amiable. Like 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:14.920 you grew up in a single parent household, right, and 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:19.680 so I picked up some ways from my mom in 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:24.160 terms of some some survival tactics that I was able 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.960 to use to my benefit. Right now, these are females, right, 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:33.680 and so with one think like J. Prince, They don't 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:38.840 think nothing feminine about J Prince. Right. A lot of 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.240 guys who are raised in single parent households or single mothers, 0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:48.520 raised by single mothers, sometimes they don't quite they don't 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.160 quite get that the man, the man who the type thing. 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.840 They don't come you know. They kind of like, you know, 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.800 get a lot of those similarities from their their their 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:03.120 their their mother, you know, and they pick up a 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:05.800 lot of those female ways. You know, you understand what 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:09.000 I'm saying. So how did what I'm saying is that 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.000 I got my ways and I got my ways that 0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:16.880 I picked up from my mom. I picked up conflict resolution. 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.280 Conflict resolution for me from that I picked up from 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:22.560 my mom was really, you don't have conflict resolution. Go ahead, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.320 conflict resolution. Don't have that, but go ahead listen. First 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.079 of all, conflict resolution is simply to resolve conflict. You 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.280 don't have that, but go ahead. Do you know you 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.719 can resolve conflict all kind of ways, right ahead. Give 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.720 me my credit for resolving it the way I resolved 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.319 back in the day. You got that back in the day. 0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:42.400 I ain't saying right where I'm saying back then? All right, okay, 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:49.040 so so but I learned to settle conflict with fist 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:56.360 guns and insults. Okay, I know I learned. That's what 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.439 my That's what I got from my mom. Right So 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.120 going going from that, uh, I got I got that. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.559 But then there's other things that you know, people will 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:10.600 tell you all the time that it takes a man 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:16.040 to raise a man. So that respect, thing that you 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.000 know that you know, standing for something, thing that that 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:22.840 fighting the biggest fights, the biggest battles, the biggest gangsters, whoever, 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.480 whoever bringing it. You know, if you, like you said 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.600 in the song, the first album that we put out. 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:29.920 If you want to go to war, I take you 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:34.160 a war that right there. How do you how do 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.319 you convey that to youngsters out there who may be 0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:40.960 being raised by mothers. And it's not to take away 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.960 anything from single mothers, but there's a shortage of courage 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:47.640 when it comes to me and young men out there. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.600 In my opinion, I think there's a shortage of courage 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:54.040 and a shortage of ethics, a shortage of a street code, 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.000 a shortage of respect that that I don't that I don't. 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.600 I don't think that a person can just get without 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.640 having some type of male influence, whether that person be 0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.800 in front of you, in the household with you, or 0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.959 somebody you're watching on television or whatever. That's got to 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:16.720 come from somewhere. Yeah, yeah, no, I definitely agree that 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.400 a man role is important, you know, but you know, 0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:25.920 I'm definitely uh a recipe of of a household where 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.679 the man was missing, and so many of us uh 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.000 uh I don't even want to call it a victim, 0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:38.160 but so many of us come from households where, uh, 0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.600 where boys don't raise their kids, you know what I mean, 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:44.120 Because we can't call them a man if they're abandoned 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:47.600 their kids and they loved one. So so you know, 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:51.400 you have to qualify to be called a man. So boys, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:55.199 you know, may disappeal whatnot and then would end up 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:58.959 happening And what would happened to me where outside of 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.920 a woman in racing me? Was the hood? You know 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.600 what I mean? Filth war was homies on the blocks, 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:07.680 was you know, step fathers. You know what I mean. 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:12.319 I had males um in my life and a combination 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:15.840 of or ways that helped shape and mold me to 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:20.160 become you know, who I became. And that's that's why 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:23.679 I like with the hood. I'm I'm so like adamant 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.160 about those that abandoned the hood, you know what I mean, 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:29.839 once you make and when you know this place helped 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.480 shape and mold you to become who you became. Man. 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:36.880 You know, I spent a lot of time with your dad, bro, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.080 and I would have put all of that, I would 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:44.079 put all of all of what you are on him, 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:48.040 because after hanging out with Earnest so much and so long, 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:52.880 you know, it's that's you. Like you may not have 0:12:53.160 --> 0:12:55.680 known Earnest or may not have been with Earnest early 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.640 part of your life. But man, you are Earnest prince 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.520 to the t, like the whole thing and the brothers. Yeah, 0:13:03.559 --> 0:13:06.120 you can't get away from no genetics, you know what 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.959 I mean. Those genetics are who you are, whether you know, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.640 like I didn't know my my biological well, he was 0:13:12.679 --> 0:13:16.360 a guy, you know what I mean. They started calling 0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.280 me little prince before I knew who I was, you 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.679 know what I mean. So I missed that side of it. 0:13:21.760 --> 0:13:25.920 But it was real fruit for the baby to tap 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.680 into him after I got grown. By the fact, it 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.800 was a missing link, you know what I mean. It 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:34.200 was a board that no other male could feel. So 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.720 that's how important it is for a man, for a 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:40.400 father to be involved with his son. No nobody can 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.080 feel those shoes, you know. The trip part about that 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:49.079 mentioning Earnest is that from a distance, no one would 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:51.560 ever could ever tell that he wasn't there all the 0:13:51.559 --> 0:13:55.240 time because y'all were like so much alike. It's it's like, 0:13:55.840 --> 0:14:00.000 you know, especially like you said, you can't get away 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.440 from those prince genetics. You know, like if somebody looked 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.600 at you two and be like, oh, that's the yeah, yeah, 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:10.840 that's absolutely that's that's his side. Uh, but you know 0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:15.679 that was that was other things about about you that 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.240 that you you definitely did different from your dad, right. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:21.800 You know, you took things to a different level and 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:26.120 you made sure that you know, you didn't make certain mistakes, right, Uh, 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:30.400 that that he made. Um. And so when you when 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:37.200 you think about the route, the route that you you took, um, 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.080 how much of how much of that route was happenstance 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:47.160 and how much of it was was was purpose driven? Uh? YEA, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.400 if I had to chop that up, most of it 0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:54.720 definitely was was purpose driven, you know what I mean. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:15:01.280 I'm I'm I'm wide and and kind of program uh 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:05.320 where I followed my spirit, my intuition, my disernment, you know, 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:11.520 over freestyle and over just you know, luck or stuff 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.240 like that. And it always been that way you know 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:17.280 with me. And and the more I tune into my gifts, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.640 you know what I mean, my spirit lead situations or 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:26.320 my my intuition, my desernment, the more, uh, I think 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:30.440 my decisions became more intelligent, you know what I mean? 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:37.240 So yeah, definitely more purpose driven. Over to that other piece. Yeah, 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.720 you you I've been noticing like over the last perhaps 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:47.400 I would say two three years, you seem more at peace. Yeah, 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:52.600 you know, you're smiling, laugh a lot in public. You know, 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.280 like a lot of people don't know that. You know, 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.320 you're you're a funny guy, you know what I'm saying, 0:15:56.400 --> 0:16:03.920 Like the funny how you know, not funny? No, no, no, no, 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:05.800 he's funny to you know what I'm saying. You know, 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:08.280 but but he got a good basically, he got a 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.840 good sense of human Yeah. Yeah, you got a good 0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:16.800 sense of humor and you like to laugh right now now, um. 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.280 But but a lot of people, a lot of people 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.240 wouldn't know that about you. But lately it's like and 0:16:23.400 --> 0:16:25.320 it seemed like in the past you may have been 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.480 guarded for that for whatever reasons, you know what I'm saying. 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:31.320 But lately, last two three years, and I've seen you 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:34.200 many many times, and I was like, man, ain't having 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:37.640 a black you know? Yeah, I mean that you can 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:41.240 see it, you know it is the little bitty house 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.600 on Della. He moved out of there in bought the island. 0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.400 You know, that's kind of should will change your life, Willie. 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.640 No one in the Two Islands man, because y'all saw 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:59.800 you said Prince Prince Island one, right, Yeah, that's what 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:05.520 That's what happened. Man, smiling like that. You know, well, well, 0:17:05.560 --> 0:17:08.000 it's deeper than that, you know, It's deeper than the 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.440 material things, you know. I uh, I gotta joy and 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.280 you know it's a time and a place for everything, right, 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.000 you know. And uh, I always tell everybody I'm at 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:22.400 like the beginning of the third quarter where my life 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.120 is concerned, you know what I mean. I played uh 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.879 first quarter, second quarter, now halftime is over. I'm at 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.920 the beginning of the third. A lot of people, I 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.800 believe they at the beginning of the fourth my age, 0:17:36.119 --> 0:17:38.800 but I'm just at the beginning of the third. So 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:44.000 I figured out how to how to have fun, how 0:17:44.040 --> 0:17:48.400 to enjoy my life, how to do everything you know, uh, 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.119 with moderation, you know what I mean. And how to 0:17:53.200 --> 0:17:56.080 weed out stress, you know what I mean. It's it's 0:17:56.080 --> 0:18:00.199 a combination of things that one can do to have 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:03.200 a fruit for fulfilling life. And I figured it out. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:05.760 And make me laugh a little more now because ship 0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:07.840 I ain't dealing with you know what I mean, of 0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:09.760 things that I had to deal with in the past 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:12.960 under graduated. I got to sit down with you again 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.680 and get that you know when when I was a kid, right, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:23.439 j would come pick me up. Man, I'd be like, man, damn, 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:27.040 because I knew that we was gonna ride for two days. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:34.600 So when I when I got to my when when 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:36.159 I got to a point where I could buy my 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:42.159 own car, I would just ride behind it. And so 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:44.960 we go out to the ranch, man, and and not 0:18:45.119 --> 0:18:49.080 knowing that the jewels that he was like like he 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:51.560 was a kid dropping jewels on a kid. You know 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:55.800 what I mean, Like those jewels man, that he gave me. 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:03.560 You know, hanging is life. It's life jewels, bro, that 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:05.439 you can take with you when you can use in 0:19:05.560 --> 0:19:10.200 any situation or any circumstance. Man, Man, I'm telling you, Man, 0:19:10.200 --> 0:19:12.800 I I tell you this all. Man. I appreciate you, bro, 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.119 because I know for a fact coming out of that 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:18.919 little house in South Asias where I grew up, and 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.760 the ship that I was doing. Remember when you say, hey, man, 0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.679 you can do what you gotta do one another. You 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.439 can't wrap and sell this ship. So you know you 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.480 want to sell that, I'm gone, you can't. I don't 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:34.000 want to be nowhere around it. Right. Yeah, I learned that, bro. 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:38.880 Then you you gave me that and man, I appreciate that, Bro. 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:41.760 You pulled me out that a little bit of ass house. Man. 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:46.440 I'm living my life, Bro, I appreciate that. Man. The 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.480 difference you know a lot of times, and it's important 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:53.080 for all the youth and everybody that's watching this right now. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.840 Like I understood way back then that the FIDS and 0:19:57.880 --> 0:19:59.800 the people that was in a high place it was 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:03.600 trying to stop our movement. So I understood that we 0:20:03.640 --> 0:20:07.639 could have had ninty nine percent of everything legal and 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:10.760 one percent illegal, and they take that one percent and 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.760 destroy our ninty nine that were building up on. So 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:17.400 that's why I made statements like that, you can't straddle 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.880 the fence, you know, I told all the homers, don't. 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.880 You can't come in my business with one feet here 0:20:23.320 --> 0:20:25.919 the other feet in the drug game or whatever that is, 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.040 because you know, this, this is a movement we got going. 0:20:29.160 --> 0:20:32.040 This ain't this ain't buy no moment. So you know, 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.440 my mindset was there back then, and it's important for 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:38.840 for those who are really trying to build an empire 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:43.520 to understand those principles because if not, that's why people 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:49.359 empires and visions get destroyed by you know, outside forces 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:53.200 and outside and individuals that really don't play no major 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.800 role but doing some dumb ship bringing it back to 0:20:56.880 --> 0:20:59.200 the movement. You know, you was always super smart, man. 0:20:59.720 --> 0:21:03.040 It was always super smart and and in three or 0:21:03.080 --> 0:21:06.800 four steps ahead, and and that type of thinking man. 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.120 That and you put that on me in Willie too, 0:21:09.600 --> 0:21:12.280 you know what I mean, We way ahead everybody else. Man. 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:18.560 That's that's like what brought that. Well, y'all had sense 0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:22.200 enough and had the smarts to show up and to 0:21:22.880 --> 0:21:25.840 you know what I mean, exercise that very thing that 0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.640 you wanted to become. Think about those that didn't, beginning 0:21:29.640 --> 0:21:31.800 with my own brother, you know what I'm gonna say that, 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:35.520 because my own brother didn't have the strength to show 0:21:35.640 --> 0:21:38.879 up and follow the movement, and I started it for him, 0:21:38.960 --> 0:21:41.400 you know what I mean. So y'all had that. Y'all 0:21:41.440 --> 0:21:44.000 had to work ethic true enough. You know what I mean. 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:47.199 I come blow the horn and pick y'all up, But 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:50.719 I ain't made you walk outside. I ain't made you 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.960 write those dope rhymes and use that creativity y'all using. 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:58.359 So you know, y'all, y'all done that, you know what 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.399 I mean? And all of that help our movement, you know, 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:03.960 what I mean, what no eye? And we you know 0:22:04.040 --> 0:22:07.080 I had strengths, y'all had strengths. We've brought them all 0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.080 together and bam, you know what I mean, The Ghetto 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.280 Boys came to fruition the very thing that laid the 0:22:13.359 --> 0:22:17.440 whole foundation for those that's born. Don't have no idea 0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:20.879 you know what they're standing on. Who built it? You 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:23.680 know what I mean? But all that came from from 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.800 our mind, from our movement way back, you know what 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.480 I mean. And look how relevant it is the day, 0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:34.080 and look look at what's what's happening to day. Listen 0:22:34.119 --> 0:22:37.680 to that music, man, yeah, listen to that music from 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:43.240 way back then and applied to right now, timeless man. 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:46.960 Yeah yeah, And and it's you know what. And it 0:22:47.080 --> 0:22:49.919 started with doing like a gil. It started with us 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:52.919 in the room. No no, no, I'm just saying as 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.679 far as the first song, the first, but what I'm 0:22:56.720 --> 0:22:58.679 saying it was the first. It was the first Ghetto 0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:00.600 Boys song that all of us of you and Bill 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.840 was on and and Read was on right do it 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.480 like a jail. But me and Jay was at his 0:23:07.520 --> 0:23:11.520 house that day. They had a list of songs like this, 0:23:11.840 --> 0:23:14.400 like a list of like a damn tablet or something, 0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:18.040 a bunch of different song concepts and do it like 0:23:18.080 --> 0:23:20.600 a geo was one of them, and he's the one 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.520 first told me what we what what you know, We're 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.600 gonna do it like gil That means like anything in life, 0:23:25.600 --> 0:23:27.199 We're just gonna do it like a go you know 0:23:27.280 --> 0:23:30.840 whatever it is. That just means do it to to 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:35.200 the highest level. Right and uh we purpose and so 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.280 uh when we started talking about the song, it's like, man, 0:23:39.280 --> 0:23:42.199 we're gonna talk about just all the different elements of 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.239 doing it like a geo. Social, political elements are doing 0:23:45.240 --> 0:23:47.600 it like a gail.
