14
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: a new football coach and we had this big introduction.

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: And about for the Patriots.

16
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's awesome. Man. He calls me young Thundercat,

17
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: your thundercat, so you can call me r k K

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: or Young Thundercat as he addresses it. And he started

19
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: calling me that back in eight when we drafted him.

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: So I've known him for you know, like fifteen years.

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: And why did ThunderCats?

22
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: You're a fan of the Cartoonough, I'm gonna let you

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: ask him that he's the one who named me.

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: Come from somewhere.

25
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 5: What did you see from Gerard that made you hire

26
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 5: him as the first black head coach of the Patriots.

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I saw him come in on our

28
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: team as a tenth pick. We picked him in the

29
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: first round and that was actually at the time the

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: highest pick we had ever had since I owned the team.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: That was in eight And the second year he was

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: with I think he got voted defensive Rookie of the year,

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, number one. And then in the second year

34
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: with us, he got elected captain and guys voted for

35
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: him whould won Super Bowls. So it told me something

36
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: that he could get respect of people that you know,

37
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,839
Speaker 1: and in locker rooms I watched little things. And anyhow,

38
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: he played for US for the next seven years, or

39
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: he was with us. He played eight years, and then

40
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: he left US and went in the private industry, worked

41
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: in private industry, you know, reached back out and said

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: he really wanted to get into coaching, and he coached

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: US three four years, and so the varied experience was special.

44
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Now I've taken twenty seven missions to the Holy Land,

45
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: mainly Christians and athletes who haven't seen the country about Israel,

46
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: pardon ise, yes. And when we were there, we had

47
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: a group of athletes and we were delayed at the

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: airport and I think they were like over twenty. He

49
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: organized them in the airport. He got a discussion going

50
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: and showed just unique leadership. You know, and in life,

51
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: when you're hanging with people, you know, you connect for

52
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: different reasons. And the light went off, and I said,

53
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: anyone that can relate like this to young people because

54
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: the world is different than I bought the team thirty

55
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: one years ago. Wow. And you know I've watched the

56
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: transition of players, the impact of social media, how you relate,

57
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: it's different. You got to adapt. And I just thought

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: he had something special. I respected. I call my eldest

59
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: son from the Holy Land that night and I said,

60
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: I think I got our next head coach. Wow, what's

61
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: five years ago?

62
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 3: What still excites you?

63
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 4: I mean, you did the Super Bowl thing, you owned

64
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: all different types of teams, You're a philanthropists, you travel

65
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: around the world.

66
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 3: What's doing with your riches? But I was at that point, No,

67
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm not.

68
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable. Why right?

69
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 6: That shi version of comfortable?

70
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 2: We are poor. Let me hold some uncomfortable.

71
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Let me hold Can I tell you something? And it's

72
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: why you know today we launched a campaign to stop

73
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: all hate. Why Why? Yeah? Time out again. But why

74
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: did I do it? Because I was a kid who

75
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: lived in a walk up apartment. I you know, I

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: went to college on a full scholarship. I went to

77
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: graduate business school on a full scholarship, didn't have a

78
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: car to I was twenty five and I dreamt big

79
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: and I had my dreams and I was able to

80
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: make a number of them come true. Look, I own

81
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: an NFL franchise in my hometown. You know, I had

82
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: a greater chance of being a starting quarterback in the NFL.

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: There are thirty two quarterbacks, and some of these teams

84
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: don't sell for one hundred years. But I did the

85
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: things along the way I had to do, and we

86
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: start a little paper and packaging company fifty two years ago.

87
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: We're in one hundred and twenty seven countries today, and

88
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 1: it's all because of our country and opportunities for anyone

89
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: who wants to take advantage of it. And I see

90
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 1: things changing, and you know, that's why I started this campaign.

91
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 5: It seems like you've always well. In more recent times,

92
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 5: it seems like you've been involved in public service. Has

93
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 5: that always been your thing? Have you always been involved

94
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 5: in community issues and what's going on in society.

95
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: Yes, I was privileged to have great parents. It was

96
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: a sort of a wild kid, a middle child, and

97
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: I had a mom and dad who gave me great love.

98
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: But my mom really discipline me, thank God. And you know,

99
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: if you're blessed to have one or two parents who

100
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: give you good love and discipline, that's worth more than

101
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: financial resources for you to operate in the world, because

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: he gives you a strong foundation. But to answer your question,

103
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: I had a dad. While he didn't have material riches,

104
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: he was the greatest man I ever knew because he

105
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: was spiritual and he left me in ethical will and

106
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: he said, when you go to bed at night, make

107
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: sure the people you've touched that day are richer for

108
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: having known you. And he even though he had modest income,

109
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: he taught me a rule. He said, you always give

110
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: ten percent of whatever your income is away as a

111
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: minimum to people who are more needy. Wow, and the

112
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: only you know, he was a great man And the

113
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: only thing I ever heard my parents argue about and

114
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: was about money because he was so good. He never

115
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: was able to accumulate, but he was just what. I

116
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: was blessed to have that legacy. So I asked all

117
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: of us out there who are privileged to have kids

118
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: to invest that time and energy and try to give

119
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: similar values.

120
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 4: Now, when did you I don't want to say, when

121
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: did you realize? But a lot of times people with

122
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: a lot of money don't understand how bad it is

123
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: for other people because they're never there. But you, on

124
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: the other hand, are completely opposite. Like you, you do

125
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 4: things that most people don't do it. We've seen you

126
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 4: do it with Meek, we see you do it with

127
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: all these other organizations.

128
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: Why well, it goes back to my dad. But I mean,

129
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: the quality that we've lost in society today is empathy.

130
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: You know, we don't listen to the what's going on.

131
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: And look, that's why I think your show is amazing.

132
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. You connect with four or five million people,

133
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: you give a message eight but who's counting eight million?

134
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: Maybe it's twelve and they're under reporting it. You don't

135
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: have to pay it for those ads. That's right the

136
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: way they should that's probably the case. But think about it.

137
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: You're relating in a way that people can connect, and

138
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: your messaging connects. And what's happened in the world today

139
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: is people aren't caring about other people. And look, I

140
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what it's like to walk in

141
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 1: a room and be a man of color or a

142
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: woman of color, and how people treat you and what

143
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: your psyche is, how you have to act and it.

144
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's got to be difficult in many ways.

145
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: That why people don't understand or don't empathize with. But

146
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: we have we as society have to understand that and

147
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: have to We're all human beings. We had no choice

148
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: the way we came into this world, you know. And

149
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: if you were blessed to have one or two good parents,

150
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's the greatest. But if not, you know,

151
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: we gotta The thing that bothers me now is people

152
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: are just going in their own lanes and not opening up,

153
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: and especially social media is creating that where you know,

154
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: people just talk to one another in a way. You know,

155
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: how did I build my businesses. I would relate to

156
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: someone who was much different than I and I had

157
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: to listen to what that person was saying and maybe

158
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: change my way or go to the where that person

159
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: is thinking. And then it's the only way you can

160
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: do big things. But today people aren't doing that. They're

161
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: just going in their own lanes and staying with the

162
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: similar people. We got to change that.

163
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: I agree. What do you think the difference is?

164
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 5: What's the differ between Time Out Against Hate and your

165
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 5: nonprofit to Foundation to Combat Anti Semitism?

166
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: Well, you know, I started this Foundation of Combat Anti

167
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: Semitism back in twenty nineteen because I saw what was

168
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: going on in charlottevillein seventeen guys carrying signs saying Jews

169
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: or Blacks won't replace us. And then in nineteen the

170
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: Tree of Life in a synagogue. You know, you have

171
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: someone come and shoot and kill people. Think about going

172
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: to church. Church is a place where you have some

173
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of spiritual connection. You don't feel safe in the

174
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,359
Speaker 1: United States of America. So I saw signs in twenty

175
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: nineteen what was going on in Nazi Germany in the thirties,

176
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: and I don't want America to be what Germany was

177
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: in the forties. So I started this foundation because it

178
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 1: usually starts. The hate starts over the last hundred years.

179
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: If you look at history with Jewish people, and then

180
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: it goes to every group, black, gay, Hispanic, Asian, you

181
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: name it. And look, this country was great to me.

182
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 1: We you know, we've had a lot of improprieties. Think

183
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: the way people of color have been treated, it's crazy,

184
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: the whole concept of slavery. I mean, in the modern world,

185
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: I can't believe that people that, and so we have

186
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: to make it right and build bridges. And those of

187
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: us that are privileged to be able to do things

188
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: and pay our bills, we got to find ways to

189
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: build bridges and bring people together. And this country, with

190
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: all its faults, is still the greatest country in the world.

191
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Think about it. We elected a man of color as president.

192
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: There's no other Western country that's done that. So with

193
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: all our faults, and we still got to correct a

194
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: lot of things. And I think the most injustices have

195
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: been done to people of color. You know you mentioned Meek.

196
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: Can I just say this because of course, yeah. I

197
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 1: mean I had developed no one believes Meek and I

198
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: are really friends, and I had developed a relationship with

199
00:12:55,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: him through a mutual friend, Michael Rubin, And he started

200
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: calling me and asking me questions about how he could

201
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: grow and prosper. And then he got thrown in jail

202
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: for doing a wheelie invited me to visit in jail.

203
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: Now I'd never been to a jail, and going and

204
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:22,079
Speaker 1: visiting him in jail changed my life. I couldn't believe

205
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: in the United States of America, we would take a guy. Look,

206
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,479
Speaker 1: he could be out earning millions of dollars, hiring employees,

207
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: paying people's salaries that could help their family, paying taxes,

208
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: paying taxes, and our system, you know, because of bigotry,

209
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: is putting a guy in jail. It was great, and

210
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: when I met him, it really changed my life. He

211
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: was nice, and he told me they fixed up the

212
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: jail when they painted it. They knew I was coming,

213
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: which is crazy to me, and he was nice. I said,

214
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: how come you don't have an edge? I'd be ticked,

215
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: you know exactly. He said, I expected it. And then

216
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 1: you know, I got into it my with my buddy

217
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: and I came out by the way and I spoke

218
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: to the media after listen. He got out of jail

219
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: two three days later, and he told me I made

220
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: a difference, not and it just told me how screwed

221
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: up our system was. And we got to change this

222
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: whole bail and situation. And because of that, a few

223
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: of us got together, you know, Michael and jay Z

224
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: and Meek and myself when we started this reform alliance

225
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: to try we we we have to correct that system.

226
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: It's a great injustice in America.

227
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 2: I agree.

228
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 5: I want to go back to something you said, because

229
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 5: you have donated money to Democratic politicians. You donated the

230
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 5: money to President Obama's campaign out of all the NFL owners,

231
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 5: But you talked about what happened in Charlottesville. You're also

232
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 5: good friends with Donald Trump, and in twenty seventeen you

233
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 5: said Trump would be great for the economy. So how

234
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 5: do you feel about him in twenty twenty four because

235
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 5: he's fueled a lot of the dangerous things that have

236
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 5: happened that you're talking about.

237
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, let me just say I've been I'm a Democrat.

238
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: I've been. I was head of the Democratic City Committee

239
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: in Brookline and Newton, and I ran Teddy Kennedy's re

240
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: election campaign with a young man called Tommy O'Neill in

241
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Boston who was Tip O'Neill's son. And I've always been democratic.

242
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:52,359
Speaker 1: Donald Trump became a social friend in the early nineties

243
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: when I was going down to Florida, and then when

244
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: my wife a blessed him. Memory died thirteen years ago.

245
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: He was one of four or five people who reached

246
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: out to me and was really really nice. I've not

247
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: The only donation I ever gave to him was he

248
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: called me when he got elected and I made a

249
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: strong donation to his inauguration. I couldn't believe it. It was

250
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: like having someone who's a drunk fraternity brother become president.

251
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I couldn't believe, you know, he was you know,

252
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: and yeah, I think he did things. I mean, I'll

253
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: say this, but since I was very upset what happened

254
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: January sixth, Uh.

255
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: Pardon, I think he led an insurrection in his country.

256
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: And I haven't talked to him since then. Did you

257
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: reach out to him after that?

258
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 6: I was going to ask, did you reach out to

259
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 6: him after that to have a conversation, because if you're upset.

260
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: No, I was really upset because, just like what's going

261
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: on with our campaign to stop eight, there are things

262
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 1: going on in the country. Look, I can pay my bills.

263
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: God's been good, except for losing my first wife. I'm

264
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,239
Speaker 1: one of the luckiest guys walking the planet. Wow. So

265
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: I want to build bridges, bring people together, you know,

266
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: and haven't owning the Patriots, As you know, I worked

267
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: very hard to get it. There's a book called the dynasty.

268
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: That explains the whole story. But the biggest thing that

269
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: came to me because I used to sit in the

270
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: stands and dream about own it what I do. And

271
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: you know nine to eleven happened. Four months later we

272
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl a team called the Patriots in

273
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: America wearing red, white and blue uniforms.

274
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: My dad thought that was a conspiracy back then because

275
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 5: Cowboys fans and so we alway say the Cowboys as

276
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 5: an America's team. And I remember when he y'all won

277
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl and he was like, this is a conspiracy.

278
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 5: Nine to eleven just happened? Did the NFL rig this

279
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 5: for the Patriots to win?

280
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: Well? I understand dad saying that because Cowboy fans are

281
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: very loyal, but we're red, white and blue. Our name

282
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: was the Patriots. Boston is a city of six hundred

283
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: thousand people. What happened twenty four hours later, one of

284
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: the coldest days, I think it was February third or fourth,

285
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: A million and a half people came to the streets

286
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: of Boston. Gay people, black people, Asians, whites, everyone came

287
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: to celebrate the team. And it just showed me the

288
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,639
Speaker 1: power of sport. In a way. It's why, you know,

289
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:58,919
Speaker 1: with this campaign to stop all hate our foundation, we

290
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: worked hard as a first time in over one hundred years,

291
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: all the sports leagues unity, and that's what we need.

292
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: Brothers and sisters. I mean, we're all. We didn't have

293
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: any choice how we're born, what religion we're born, what

294
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: skin color, how our eyes are shaped, what we look like.

295
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: But you know, we got a chance. You know, hopefully

296
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: you're born with good characteristics where you can function and

297
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 1: not have certain proclivities that keep you from doing things.

298
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: So I just my life is about bill and bridges,

299
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 1: given everyone a chance. It's good business for us to

300
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: have everyone who's born in this world to live their dreams.

301
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 3: I got to ask a question. You said you're a Democrat.

302
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 4: Most people would assume that you would be a Republican

303
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: because of the tax breaks and the money and that

304
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: and all that other stuff. So what made you say

305
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: I want to be a Democrat?

306
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: What made you for the people? No, I was That's

307
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: how I got elected. When I was in my twenties.

308
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: There's a very liberal community and they older people and

309
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,959
Speaker 1: they were fighting and they picked me because I just

310
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: I want to build bridges and I thought, I'm a

311
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: little disturbed with the Democratic Party today.

312
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

313
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: Well, I think there's a group of progressives who have

314
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: come in that are not building bridges and listening, and

315
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: they're preaching hate just the same way they never used

316
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: to be in extreme like that, the way it's done

317
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: on the right. And you know, I think, you know

318
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: we need anyway. Once you can pay your bills, you

319
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: got to work to try to If you have your

320
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: health and pay your bills, God's been good. You got

321
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: to then work to make the surrounding things around you good.

322
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: You know. I love the way one hundred years ago

323
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: the black and Jewish Jewish people their skin is in black,

324
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: but after you know, the discrimination to the Jewish community

325
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: has been the same to black except for that. We

326
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: don't I don't know what it's like to walk in

327
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: a room and have people look at you like that,

328
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: Like people might not know when I walk into a room.

329
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: But I stay true to what my values and what

330
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 1: I've been and you know, try to be a good human.

331
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: The Vice president campaign, I haven't I've I haven't supported

332
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 1: any political person since I've started this Blue Square because

333
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to be political. I want what's best

334
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: for the country. And actually, I'm really worried. Part of

335
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: the reason we started this campaign and itn't inaugurated today

336
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 1: with these ads that are going to run. There's an

337
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: ad that's gonna run on the game tonight. We just

338
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: did a big interview with NBC that aired and CNBC

339
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: and this is my second stop on a one of

340
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: the biggest days, and it comes out of respect to

341
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: you all and your audience and the message we're trying

342
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: to get out there.

343
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 5: Well, if you're against bigotry and you're against hate, why

344
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 5: would you choose not to be involved in the election

345
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 5: in this year like Trump have an opportunity to be

346
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 5: back in the White House. You said you didn't like

347
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: what he did on January six, let an insurrection in

348
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 5: this country, So why wouldn't you want to be involved?

349
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 1: Because when I started this foundation, as soon as you

350
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 1: take a political position or stay, you alienate I. I

351
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: don't I don't have the answer. You know, I've met

352
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: with the Vice President's husband, He's come and visited our

353
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: I hope one day you you all come and see

354
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: our command center where we have a wall tied to

355
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: three hundred million websites all over the world and we're

356
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: watching trends and hate and we're trying to monitor it.

357
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: And you know, we've worked with Doug M. Hoff on thistly.

358
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: White House is app to him as leading in this effort.

359
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: But once we take a side politically, then we alienate people.

360
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 1: And I don't want to. I want everyone what we're

361
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: preaching in our foundation. And you look, we're able to

362
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: get the seven sports leagues and NASCAR, which is mid

363
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: America and a different I don't know how many NASCAR

364
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: fans are listening to your show, but we were able

365
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: to bring them all together and they're all together preaching

366
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: against hate and trying to keep civility, instill the greatest

367
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: with all our faults in this country, we're the greatest

368
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: country for opportunity. Look look what you folks are doing

369
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: with this show, but we got to work at it.

370
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: Is my last political question, So why tell people you're

371
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 5: a Democrat? And I was shocking you said that because

372
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 5: of the fact you're an owner of detention.

373
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 2: That's OK.

374
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: You can go back and look when I was twenty

375
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: eight years old, I was elected chair that I'm probably

376
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: an independent. Now, well, I have not what I don't want.

377
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: I used to think I would run for political office.

378
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 1: I had the privilege of being elected present my class,

379
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: senior class high school and then in college, and I

380
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: love doing that. But then the more I got out

381
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: and trying to support my family, I saw that politics

382
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: there was too much phoniness and just it wasn't something

383
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to vote my time to. So I decided

384
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: I could have a bigger impact doing philanthropy. Once I

385
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: started making a few dollars and trying to be showing

386
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: initiative as a businessman, doing my philanthropic things and trying

387
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: to be creative, It's like getting exposure to me. I'd

388
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: never been to a jail, I told you, and I

389
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: saw the craziness, and that got us to start together

390
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 1: with the partners the Reform Alliance, that we should get

391
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: a million people, you know, change their situation to give

392
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: them a chance to get out in society. But we're

393
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 1: doing that in other areas. And once you get political,

394
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: you alienate people. And I'm sorry now I wanted to know.

395
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 6: So by you saying you're not getting involved in an election,

396
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 6: that doesn't are you going to vote though? Absolutely okay,

397
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 6: but you just don't want to come out and see

398
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 6: who you're voting for.

399
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because when you do that. Let me just

400
00:26:54,920 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: say this, people from both sides, both parties, right at

401
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: the top, have reached out to us and want us

402
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: to be involved. And I don't. I think we bring

403
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: more value to this country and to people who are

404
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: needy by being in the position we're in and not.

405
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: I just look. I see my ancestors came here as immigrants.

406
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: I went to school on scholarship. The country allowed me

407
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: to go function and fight battles and dream my dream.

408
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:41,360
Speaker 1: I want that for everyone coming into this country. And

409
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: when you get involved in politics, you know, it's sad

410
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: to me to see that. You know, I go back.

411
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: None of you were on the earth when Ronald Reagan

412
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: was president. But when he was president, there was a

413
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 1: guy who was Speaker of the House by the name

414
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: of Tip O'Neil. He was from Massachusetts, Cambridge where how

415
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: it is, and you know, they used to fight each

416
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: other like crazy during the day five point thirty they'd

417
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 1: have a beer and then they go play nine holes

418
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: and they do business for America. Today we're not doing that.

419
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: People don't even listen to one another. They're not coming together.

420
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: And my life will be about building bridges and bringing

421
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 1: all people to the best of my ability and fighting hate.

422
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Now think about I'm very proud that we were able

423
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: to bring all the sports commissioners, women, men, NASCAR together

424
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: to do this campaign of time out. By the way,

425
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: what is the time out? When do you call that?

426
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: In a sport? You're doing it when things aren't going right.

427
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: You want to win. You want to win your game.

428
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: You've got to readjust your strategy and do things that'll

429
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: be good that allow you to win. That's what we're

430
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: doing in America. We're trying to call a time out

431
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: and have all people come together. How do I benefit

432
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: by demeaning anyone, any group that's given there, even if

433
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: they think differently than I. I want them to have

434
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: their chance, but do it straight and be respectful of all.

435
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 4: Do you think that's the reason why you're so your

436
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 4: franchise is so successful. We look at all these other franchises.

437
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 4: You've had a very successful franchise other than my New

438
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 4: York Giants. But besides that, do you think that's the

439
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 4: why because you have that way of thinking of unity

440
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 4: and getting it together.

441
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 1: Well, I'll tell you when we bought as a good question,

442
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: I always have tried to incorporate everyone. When we bought

443
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: the Patriot, you know, in thirty four years, they had

444
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: never sold out, so the local games are always blacked out.

445
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: I sat in those stands dreaming what I would do,

446
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: and when I was privileged to take it over, I

447
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: tried to bring everyone in. And then the first year

448
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: we sold out, we got over one hundred thousand people

449
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: on a paid waiting list to buy seats to something

450
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: that wasn't that way, and you know, I have the

451
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: good fortune to have it. We drafted this guy by

452
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: the name of Brady, and I heard him. Yeah, no,

453
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: I know most people.

454
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: The Giants. Giants have heard of him a couple of times.

455
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: Well in the Big Apple, you guys. You know we're

456
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: in Beantown, in the village up there. But you know,

457
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: and I also, I decided with my nose to hire

458
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: a coach that they went to me I shouldn't. And

459
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: I kept them together for twenty years, and we built

460
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: bridges the way I'm talking about here. We kept it together.

461
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: And you know, in our history, since we've bought our Patriots,

462
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: we have the best winning percentage for championships of any

463
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: sports team in any league. Anywhere in the world, and

464
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm very proud of that.

465
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,320

00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 1: envy and jealous.

470
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 3: And even one in a long time.

471
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Look at you, folks, you're doing this show. You don't

472
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: think there are people that hate you that you're so successful.

473
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: I want to try to throw digs and throw of course,

477
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 5: incurable diseases. And it's the one time it is better

478
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 5: to be a recipient than a donor.

479
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 6: Carry around all the time.

480
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:23,760

Speaker 1: I'm a slavone, you know.

483
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 5: Want to ask, like, there's always this debate between Belichick

484
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 5: and Brady and who's responsible for the Patriots success? How

485
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: much credit should you get put your name in those competitions.

486
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna I'll let you decide that. Here's the deal.

487
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: We were in business thirty four years. How many home

488
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: playoff games do you think they had in those thirty

489
00:32:58,600 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 1: four years the Patriots.

490
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 2: It's a good question.

491
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: I don't know.

492
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 5: How many home games playoff games?

493
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: No, no, hell, no way, more thing too, maybe like

494
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 2: twenty two.

495
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: You're half right for one one why and they lost

496
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: to the Houston Oilists. I was sitting in the stands

497
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 1: Earl Campbell, you remember that name. Yeah, he ran for

498
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: over two hundred yuys and we lost. And I believe

Speaker 1: you're relevant and doing it so you can influence people.

514
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,680

00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: that are good that I know. We got a lot

516
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:32,360

00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: you have kids and the dividends you'll get later. But

529
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: who's more responsible? We're keeping it together? How do you

530

535
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 6: Thank you. Wait, so you and Belichick like, what's the

536
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 6: relationship now, because you know it's been on and off,

537
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 6: rumors that y'all don't really do that y'all don't really

538
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 6: like each other like that.

539
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: Look, I mean I kept him for twenty four years.

540
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, I didn't enjoy having to fire him,

541
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: but I try to do it. If you look at

542
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: the press conference and how it happened, try to do

543
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: it in a classy way. And what he did for

544
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: us was great. You know, people need to adapt and

545
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 1: if they don't, or look at you folks together, things

546
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: can change in life. It's about getting good chemistry and

547
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: trust and feel that. You know, our record the last

548
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: three to four years wasn't what I wanted. And I

549
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: had given him so much power. He had full control

550
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 1: over everything, and shame on me. I should have had

551
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: some checks and balances better, but he had earned that right.

552
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,799
Speaker 1: But then the results weren't there. And if you're in

553
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: a sports business, you know you win or you lose.

554
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,840
Speaker 1: There's no gray and I hate losing.

555
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 5: Now break the Patriots that was seriously thinking about signing

556
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 5: Colin Kaepernick. Yes, at really, yes, why didn't you?

557
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, those are decisions I've never like.

558
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: We just changed. We have a new quarterback starting this week.

559
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: I let my football people make decisions. I'm happy to

560
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 1: discuss things. I think it would have been a great

561
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 1: thing for us to have hired them because it would

562
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: have been a great statement to the country. And you know,

563
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: here the best team, the best coach, everything, they were

564
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: just there's The NFL is not a straight line business.

565
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 1: Personnel decisions are a function of you know, many things

566
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: going on. When you bring in a quarterback, how does

567
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: it affect the second and third quarterback, how does it

568
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: affect the team. We're trying to do things that always

569
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: build team first, and in America what's happening now and

570
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: the NFL is a perfect example. If you don't have

571
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page, you're not going to win.

572
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 1: You can have the greatest quarterback, but it's not like

573
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: other sports where you can have one or two great

574
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: people and it can impact you know, great pitcher, great center.

575
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 1: You know in football, special teams can lose you again

576
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: if they let a run back go or offense by fumbling.

577
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 1: You can have the greatest defense and your offense gives,

578
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 1: so you need it's what has to go on in America.

579
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: You need everybody pulling together and it's hard.

580
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 5: So it was it Rock Nation that was pushing for

581
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 5: you to sign Cap or why didn't you do?

582
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 2: Was he black ball?

583
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: Like?

584
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 2: What was the reason that it just didn't happen?

585
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: You just there were a lot of variables that just that.

586
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't make that final decision. There was

587
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: serious considerations and it was just I mean, in the end,

588
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: the bottom line is every decision we're making with the

589
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: NFL team on the game field is going to help

590
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: us win or lose.

591
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 3: And it wasn't a fit. It wasn't a fit.

592
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: Well, I'll let you ask Coach Belichick that now.

593
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 5: On the FX show, it looked like you'd be calling

594
00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 5: shots on the Aaron Hernandez Show on FX and they

595
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 5: got you in the draft room and you would the one.

596
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 2: Who said pick him.

597
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: No, I don't know. That's not how it happened, you know,

598
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: I have.

599
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 2: I watched the show.

600
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: No, what's it called.

601
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 5: It was just the name of an Aaron Henandi. It's

602
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: a scripted show on FX about Aaron Nandi.

603
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: Oh I heard that, and they got, yeah, No, I

604
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: haven't seen that someone. Yeah, they get some.

605
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Dude, American sports story, the American sports story. Yeah, the guy.

606
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 3: I've never even seen that show.

607
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: In fiction, So I don't, I mean, I don't.

608
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 6: But they discussed stuff with you the right way. After

609
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 6: they make those decisions. It's not communicated. And I'm just

610
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,319
Speaker 6: saying it because he's saying he don't really know what's

611
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 6: it's for the football.

612
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: Wait. The one thing we've said, they can draft whomever

613
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: they want. They can do it, except we never want

614
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 1: to be bring a person into our system who has

615
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: done the wrong thing by women. You know, where that's

616
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: not allowed. They're not And I think in our third

617
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: year of ownership they we drafted someone who had abused

618
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: women in his fraternity. It was covered up. To me

619
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: it was a guy who should have gone in the

620
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: first or second around. We got him in the fifth

621
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: or sixth round, and when I found out after the draft,

622
00:41:07,320 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: we cut him before he even came. And we're trying

623
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: to send a message to any coaches we ever had.

624
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: That's the one thing. I mean. I was blessed. I

625
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,759
Speaker 1: have a new wife who's awesome, and I had a

626
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: first wife who I told you died thirteen years ago.

627
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 1: And respect for women is a community thing. That we

628
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: can't have players that have abused women and be part

629
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:39,760
Speaker 1: of our team and culture.

630
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to know when Brady went to the Buccaneers.

631
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: How did that hurt you? How did that affect you?

632
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 4: Because that was your guy for so many years? And

633
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:49,879
Speaker 4: did you'll have a conversation and how do you feel

634
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 4: about him when it happened?

635
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: Now, Well, here's what happened. He he and Bill had

636
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:03,920
Speaker 1: some problems. Yeah, let's say they weren't best friends. And

637
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 1: I negotiated his contracts with him the last twelve years,

638
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: and and he was always put team first, and I

639
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: was able to convince him not to. Oh, you know,

640
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 1: we have a salary cap in the NFL, so I said, look,

641
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 1: it'd be better if you didn't take the full amount

642
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: that you would want by other quarterbacks. Because whatever we

643
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: don't pay you not going in my pocket. It's going

644
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 1: to other players to make you better. And if we

645
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: do as well as I hope, the greatest beneficiary will

646
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: be you. It doesn't go to that long term benefit

647
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: doesn't go to the club or the coach. It goes

648
00:42:56,080 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: you don't remember Joe Montana and people like that, Roger stoveback,

649
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: And sure enough he listened to me, and he took

650
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: less money and we were able to get great support

651
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: people around. We spent to the cap every year, and

652
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: he listened and he did it, and he was just unusual.

653
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: But when I did the last contract with him, which

654
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,840
Speaker 1: would have completed twenty years with us, I said, look,

655
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: you will do I won't allow Bill or the team

656
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: to franchise you. If you don't want to stay here

657
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: after this, which had two years to go, you'll decide

658
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: and I'll never forget that. I believe it was in

659
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: the month of March. He lived down the street from me,

660
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 1: came to my house and I opened the door. He

661
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: started crying and he hugged me and he said, I

662
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: made a decision gonna leave the Patriots after twenty years.

663
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 1: And I had you know, we normally would have franchised

664
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: someone like that and they're not allowed to. But I

665
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 1: kept my word to him, and it was one of

666
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: the worst days.

667
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: It's like almost like losing a child.

668
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and he and I look, he grew

669
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: up with us. I was. I mean, I love the

670
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 1: guy and he's one of a kind. You know, I

671
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:35,240
Speaker 1: went to his marriage when he marriage is held down

672
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: in Costa Rica, and you know, we've he spent half

673
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: his life with us, and we you know, when it

674
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: was with Bridget moynihan and everything and he's he's one

675
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: of the most amazing human beings on the planet. He's

676
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,800
Speaker 1: a guy when he goes in the huddle, he makes

677
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: average players better. He just but he's got a heart

678
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: of gold and he'll cry talking about an injustice. He

679
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: cried that whole time when he had to leave us,

680
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: and you know I understood it. He lived under an

681
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: arrangement that was very difficult for him the last decade.

682
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 1: But you know, he's an amazing human being. Ye know,

683
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: he's part of my family to this day and I

684
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: love him deally.

685
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 6: I want to go back to something you mentioned earlier

686
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 6: about the violence against the women and how serious you

687
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 6: guys take that. So Jabrul Peppers right now is all

688
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 6: over the news for domestic violence charges against his significant other,

689
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 6: and in the beginning of it, Jarrett Mayo has said

690
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 6: that you guys didn't know enough to not allow him

691
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 6: into the facility and then that change. Now he's on

692
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 6: the commissioners exemp list. So do you guys conduct your

693
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 6: own investigations what was found, like what was the change there?

694
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,760
Speaker 1: Because I know we are doing that's a very good question,

695
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:08,640
Speaker 1: and you know we're living in a world now with

696
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: so much on social media, and so much it's reported

697
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: is unfear in these kind of situations, and you know,

698
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: when you read the thing initially it turns your stomach.

699
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: But we've learned, and I don't know the facts in

700
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 1: this case, and Gerard called me. We spoke about it.

701
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: Once he goes on the Commissioner example list. They do

702
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: their independent checking. We're doing ours, and it was reported

703
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 1: is true, he's gone. There have been some suggestions that

704
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: this was a setup, and a lot of what's reported

705
00:46:56,040 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: is not accurate. I just I can just okay, God

706
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: that I've seen in life that if someone will take

707
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,439
Speaker 1: any one of the three of you you have profiles,

708
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,479
Speaker 1: if someone could set up something and say something it's

709
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: just not true. It's a fact, and there's nothing so

710
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 1: one other things. And I've personally had that happen with me.

711
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 1: So you know, I have a saying that I used

712
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:32,320
Speaker 1: to all my key people and important decisions in life.

713
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: You measure nine times and you cut once. And I

714
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: think in this case, if what's been reported is true,

715
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: he's gone, but we want to get the facts.

716
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 6: I had one more question. I was going to say,

717
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 6: did you were you guys in your investigation able to

718
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 6: see his lawyer had mentioned there was videotape evidence that

719
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 6: suggested that this may not have been what it was

720
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 6: reported as. Did you guys see that that videotape is

721
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 6: when you say that since.

722
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,479
Speaker 1: This came out, I've been in New York. I've talked

723
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:04,760
Speaker 1: to you in our legal counsel and other support people.

724
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: They you know, the easy thing would have been to

725
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: cut them right away, but we're trying to measure nine

726
00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: times and do right by him. If the facts are

727
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:22,040
Speaker 1: has been reported publicly, then he's not with us. There

728
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 1: is a possibility there's a different explanation and the facts

729
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: are different. So I'm personally just gonna wait knowing how

730
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 1: these things can be unfear because excuse me, you know what,

731
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:42,400
Speaker 1: and this bothers me and you folks are very important

732
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: platform for getting the message out. Make sure you get

733
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:51,240
Speaker 1: the facts and don't there's too much of this going

734
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: on and then it just becomes it it ripple effect,

735
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: and that's not good for any of us. And you know,

736
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: people love you know how I gave you the jealousy

737
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: and envy. We can get them. So I'm just saying

738
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't.

739
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 2: I thought you was about to ask how can you

740
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 2: get it up? It's this thing called blue choo.

741
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness, yeah, you take it.

742
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: Some of us don't need it.

743
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 5: I do one last question, why you believe you're not

744
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 5: in the NFL Hall of Fame. Ye, cause I don't

745
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 5: know why you're not. It makes no sense to me.

746
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: Read that car jealous? Wow? Wait if I don't really

747
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: to be honest, I don't care because on merit, you know,

748
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: I think most people who are objective, it's this, this

749
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 1: is people. It doesn't mean anything to me. What I'm

750
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: doing more in my foundation to come back that has

751
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 1: a greater impact, whether it's just I think the whole

752
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: and it's happened with other people, so it means the

753
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: value of it. It should be your objectivity. So in life,

754
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, I just the key thing is to dream

755
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 1: your dream hang with good people of good character and

756
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: Bill Bridges and that's what my.
