I shouldn't call him a crackhead. 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:47.160 He was a drug add he was addicted, but at 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:50.040 the time it was a crackhead because he would like 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.880 beat there.

He knew Easter though he. 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.520 Was because he needed to get the money. That's his 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:02.560 money for that's. 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.880 Working for Easter brouh. He did what he had to do. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.000 So anyway, we go get our outfit and then on 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.560 Sunday you got. 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:12.720 To go somewhere. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.560 That's usually we did. We did the movie, so we 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.680 just will be in Halem just rooming around. But you 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.320 had to you had to go and get your outfit. 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.000 But my parents never let us think Easter was an Easter. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.719 Yeah, they'd be like this ain't this is just a 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:28.279 day for us to do something that we do. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.400 That's what we did when I shopped and it was 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:36.400 hot in all the stores, and then went to a 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:39.719 baby shower, enjoyed that and the kids enjoy you know, 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:44.840 kids like and then I was exhausted. And then next 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.880 day we went to some game room, dope game room, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.520 and the kids enjoyed theirself with that, and then we 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:53.479 had a batch and I was exhausted again. 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:58.119 The same same I hosted. My my granddaughter was in town. 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:02.640 We went to church with her her cousin and they're 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:04.520 both two and three years old. So I was saying 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.280 that I spent a lot of time talking about I mean, 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.120 dealing with Target all week. You know a lot of 0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:14.960 people saw that last week, you know, things kind of 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:16.880 it just was like all of a sudden, all this 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.960 stuff got in the media because it was announced that 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:23.640 Reverend Sharpton was having a meeting with the Target executives 0:05:24.120 --> 0:05:26.159 now and then so and there were people who were 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:29.039 upset because they were like, well, where's Jamal Bryant and 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.200 you know, and then people were tagging and saying where's 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.200 Tamika Mallory And of course Nina Turner, who leads we 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:37.120 are somebody and until freedom was a part of it. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.440 And then you have folks saying, where are the people 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.599 from Minneapolis? 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:41.800 So people were pissed. 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.919 Off because they like, we ain't heard Reverend Sharpton involved 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.159 in this target situation, So like, how did he all 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.240 of a sudden get centered and why is he the 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:50.240 one having a meeting? 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.880 And so you know, that turned into a whole thing. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:55.120 And I think a part of it is that social 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:59.080 media and the Internet does not always give us an 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.800 opportunity to fully discuss everything so people will be able 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:05.680 to get a clear picture of what's going on. Just 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.760 for quick points of reference, Number one, I worked for 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:12.200 Reverend Sharpton for a very very long time. You know, 0:06:12.320 --> 0:06:15.040 fourteen years I did within nan and it was even 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.920 before that, but fourteen years I was on the payroll. 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:23.719 And I can tell you that the issues around diversity, equity, inclusion, 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.320 holding corporations accountable, all of that he has. 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.839 Been doing for a long long time. 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.640 And there's a history of it that comes from Operation 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.599 bread Baskets, which is Reverend Jackson. 0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:36.640 Remember I've given this. 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.160 History before for people who don't know that one of 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.680 the reasons why we understand. 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:46.039 The attacks on DEI is because we know they know 0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:46.680 they know. 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.680 The people who want to roll back DEI understand there 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:54.719 is a history of how diversity, equity and inclusion became 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.440 a thing that you hold that with the fact that, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.520 of course other groups have benefited from it and it's 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.640 been infiltrated by other people. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:03.480 We get all of that. 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.599 We're not saying that diversity, equity and inclusion as it 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:11.280 stands is perfect, or that it is you know that 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.800 it is a that it is great. Put it that way. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:16.840 We're not saying that. We're saying we know it's not 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:20.640 we know it's still inequitable. Sure, Nonetheless, we understand that 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.840 the reason why it's being attacked is because black people 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.080 are under attack and women are under attack. And so 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.120 that's that, you know, putting that in in perspective. So 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:34.560 Reverend Sharpton has been doing this work around diversity, equity 0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:39.800 and inclusion and holding corporations accountable for a long, long, 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.680 long long time, many many many years, more than thirty years. 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:47.200 He's been engaged in that area and has a great 0:07:47.280 --> 0:07:51.880 level of expertise in terms of how to get corporations 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:54.800 to have to deal with black folks and our issues 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.800 and demands, and so it is not unusual for a 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.040 corporation to call. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.800 Him and want to meet with him. So he got the. 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:09.440 Call and he called Reverend Bryant, Jamal Bryant, and asked him, hey, 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:10.840 Target wants to meet. 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:11.720 Now. Another thing. 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:15.880 For the last I think sixty something weeks, I think 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:20.760 it's been sixty something weeks, there has been a national 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:25.080 action network has been protesting outside of the office of 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:27.560 I forget his first name, but I know his last 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.520 name is Acman. And this guy is the one who 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.680 pretty much started the fight against the Fearless Fund, which 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:38.040 is where this DEI think sort of first started to come. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.480 It came from that because the women from the Fearless 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:45.000 Fund are funding black women own businesses, and this guy 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:48.320 Ackman started a campaign and actually sued them to say 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:51.240 it was unconstitutional, and you know and all of that. 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.120 And so Sharpton has been. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:56.880 In the space of this whole diversity, equity and inclusion 0:08:56.960 --> 0:09:00.560 piece since the beginning. So there was a prime but 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.559 the details of it was to be discussed, as Jamal 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.080 did at church on Sunday, and then there's a town 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:08.280 hall meeting on Tuesday. 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:12.480 But again social media things move at the speed of lightning. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:15.480 So once it's out there that there's a meeting, people's 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.200 opinion and feeling and this and that. 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.520 And I'm not saying they shouldn't have that. 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:22.440 There should be accountability across the board because all of 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:26.079 us are out here managing something that other people, two 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.960 hundred thousand people have signed up for. 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.319 But there are people who never signed the petition. 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.080 At all who are boycotting Target, And people want to 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:36.120 know what are y'all meeting about, and what's happening and 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.520 who's doing what, and they have the right to know 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:39.120 those things. 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:41.320 The headlines didget out there, and I think that's precisely 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:44.760 my point. As seasoned leaders, we have to understand that 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.679 people are going to sensationalize headlines. So if we understand that, 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.439 then we have to be intentional about what gets out 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.280 there and how we organize things. So this is what 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.880 my main point was, that people have to be very aware, 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.839 intentional and strategic, specially when we this season as leaders, all. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:06.079 These people who are a part of this effort, that 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:11.560 we understand our power is working because Target is even 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.320 calling people for meetings. And another thing that's Reverend Sharpton 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.840 is not the only person that Target met with in 0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:22.400 the civil rights community. They've been meeting with different groups, right, 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:25.600 and it just so happened that we know about the 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:28.280 meeting with Reverend Sharpton, But there are other people who 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.959 had meetings that we don't know anything about having heard 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.959 from them on what went on or what took place. 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:38.199 But one thing I can say is that nobody agreed 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.440 to end the boycott or to stop it. People have 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:44.920 just been listening and allowing Target to explain to them 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:49.920 where they stand, and also doubling down on the idea 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.680 that we don't agree with the decision you all made 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:58.000 on January twenty fourth or twenty fifth to say that 0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.360 you're rolling back DEI because get us what Costcos didn't 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.760 roll theirs back. Delta didn't roll theirs back. So what 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:08.480 is different between you Target and these other companies who 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.000 have stood ten toes down and chose not to cower 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.160 to Donald Trump and align themselves with bigotry and Nina Turners. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:17.840 We now have met with Target. 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:22.280 We have we've met with an executive from Target, Nina 0:11:22.360 --> 0:11:25.360 turn On, myself and Jamal Bryant where we talk to 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:30.560 them about the demands. Ugain reiterated the demands and have 0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:34.480 asked them to get back to us with specific details 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.040 on the demands, not to just repackage the numbers of 0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.680 what they've done in the past, to tell us about 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.600 their new ways of going about dealing with these issues. 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:47.320 We don't want to be your nighttime lover. We want 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.359 to be in broad daylight. What exactly are you intending 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.040 to do and why would you make a statement that 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.400 you need to roll back the diversity, equity and inclusion 0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.760 instead of enhancing it. That's what we've They should have 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.160 came out and said, to be honest, we need to 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.120 do more diversity and equity and inclusion. We need to 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.280 make sure that black folks get even more a share 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.360 of what we as consumers are putting into Target. That's 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.120 actually what they should have come out with, and instead 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.040 they went in the opposite direction, which is to align 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.560 themselves with Donald Trump and Elon Musk and, in our opinion, 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:27.040 as Nina Turnet has said, to align themselves with bigotry 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:30.760 and that's not okay. So with all of that, the 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:35.440 boycott continues. There's work that's happening behind the scenes. We 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:38.760 will not sell our communities out. We will make sure 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.920 that when we come back to report on something, we're 0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:46.880 reporting on tangibles, real tangible results, and that takes time. 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:50.120 Let's not forget that the Montgomery bus boycott lasted for 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.600 three hundred and eighty one days, and so we are 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.000 not even at six months of this yet. We're going 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.200 to have to have some discipline. And I guess my 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.400 thoat of the day for today is everything that comes 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:07.120 out on social media, we can allow ourselves to just 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.000 go run with it because of either our feelings of 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:12.079 about people. 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:14.000 We've got to ask for more. 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:18.280 Information because over these next four years, Over these next 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.360 four years, there is going to be a lot of 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.000 stuff that's thrown at us to get us to everybody 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.439 starts fighting and arguing and everybody gets divided and all 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.280 of that. We're not trying to be divided. We need 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.160 to course correct some things. Sometimes we gotta have conversations, 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.000 but we are not going to allow these folks to 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:38.679 divide us. 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.720 Because the enemy is not us. 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:46.360 It's not organizers, it's not the people online. The enemy 0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:50.160 are the people who are attempting to suppress and oppress 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:55.120 our communities. And we cannot allow social media to or 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:59.000 or things that hit the news or social media to 0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:02.400 throw us off our we gotta be targeted. We've got 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:06.280 no pun intended or pun intended. We've got to be focused. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.760 We've got to be focused. And our focus at this 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.679 point is that we are making sure that corporations understand 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.880 there's one point eight trillion dollars that we spend. And 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:19.360 if you want to align yourself with Trump, there's a 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:20.280 lot of us. 0:14:20.080 --> 0:14:23.280 Who don't like Trump. So if you with him, you 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:25.240 not with us. And that's it. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.160 That's pretty much. I mean, I don't know what else 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.320 I can say after that film was broken down. You know, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:33.040 we just have to be away about the information. Like 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.560 you said, Denzel said, you know, if you watch the news, 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.520 then you misinformed, and if you don't do you uninformed. 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.120 So you have to be very careful about how you 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.200 get your information. You got to be make sure that 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.000 you're listening to credible sources. You got to do three 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.920 or four different checks. You can't just google one page 0:14:48.920 --> 0:14:51.200 and you just see some random things pop up, like 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.000 you gotta be intentional. You gotta really want this information. 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.040 You gotta look, and you gotta also use common sense, 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.880 because a lot of people don't even use common sense. 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.280 They just hear something say, look, such such jumped off 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:03.440 the roof and he landed on both foot and now 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.360 he's Superman. He started flying around. Look it's on the internet. 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.720 I've seen it, and I'd be like, does that even fit? 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.560 What you know is humanly possible? Like they don't even 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.160 think about that no more, you know. So I think 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:18.640 we have to be intentional and we have to make 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.640 sure that we follow people who have levels of integrity 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.080 right that you that you actually can trust, not just 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.400 somebody that just showed up on the internet one day 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:31.240 and they started creating these conspiracy theories that go along 0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:33.400 with you know, these crazy things that you have in 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.920 your head and you're like, listen, listen, no, make sure 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:38.400 that there's a basis for what somebody says. Make sure 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:40.720 that it goes along with common sense. Make sure that 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.240 these people are trusted that you when you look up 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.400 the information they say that other people that you trust 0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.080 that are you know, parenting that information or sharing that 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.280 same information. Don't just take information and just run with 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.760 it and then come and spread it, because a lot 0:15:55.800 --> 0:16:00.680 of travels ten times before the truth pushes. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:08.200 So for today's TMI, you know, it just be too much. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.600 Sometimes for me, But I really want to ask people 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:15.720 out in the universe to listen to this story and 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:19.440 decide who they think is doing too much in this situation. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:25.400 So a few days ago, it was announced that Fanny 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:31.680 Willis the prosecutor in Georgia in DCAV County has is 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.400 trying to put young Thug back in prison, which we 0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.320 know that a part of his sentence was if you 0:16:36.440 --> 0:16:41.960 violate the terms of your probation. Probation is not parole, 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:46.880 no probation. The terms of your probation that you can 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.360 be committed for a backlog of twenty years. He can 0:16:50.440 --> 0:16:54.240 be committed for a backlog of twenty years, so he 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.960 would have to serve out twenty years if he does 0:16:57.040 --> 0:17:02.960 any of the things that's in the stipulations. So she 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.720 wants to have him sent back to prison. And as 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:09.199 soon as I saw it, I'm not gonna lie. I 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.040 was one of those people that was like, oh, come on, 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.800 Like what did he do go to Metro Atlanta and 0:17:14.960 --> 0:17:17.640 ride on the side of the you know street where 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.320 you ain't supposed to be on that corner? Like come on, 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:23.760 Like I didn't even hear the story, just a headline. 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.920 Headline made me automatically be like, come on, Fanny, let's 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:27.920 not do this, right. 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.480 So then I said, I have to listen to the story. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:31.320 So I listened to it. 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:36.840 So they say that allegedly, they say that a blogger 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:44.680 tweeted a witness's name an address. Right, that's what they say. 0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.960 This is the whole face and the face of the person. 0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:53.720 And it had been the judge's ruling that this witness 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.679 was not to be exposed anything about it, and they tweeted, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:05.560 you alleged they tweeted this person's home address and image 0:18:06.200 --> 0:18:10.800 and said so and so does not want to be 0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.119 named or does not want the court, you know, the 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:14.840 people outside of the court to know who they are. 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:16.440 So this is the person. 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:20.320 Now, this is what I will say allegedly too, although 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.720 the interview or this whole story, they've given you a 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.480 chronicle of what took place that got them back in court. 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:27.000 Right. 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:34.480 But allegedly, young thug retweeted this post on social media, 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:37.600 and now Fanny Willis wants him to go to prison. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.320 So there are some people that's like, all right, he 0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.879 tweeted something. I still don't think he needs to do 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:47.200 twenty years in prison for that. Fanny Willis just wants 0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:49.960 to send this black man to prison so bad. She's 0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.480 got a I was gonna say hard on, but that's 0:18:53.560 --> 0:19:00.359 probably inappropriate, you know' she's she's what's the word says 0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.800 thank you with him, and there's no reason for him 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.320 to go back to prison for this. And in fact, 0:19:06.720 --> 0:19:10.600 which is where like you said, allegedly comes from the 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:17.280 newscaster the reporter, the reporter is saying that when speaking 0:19:17.359 --> 0:19:21.920 with Young Thug's attorney, the attorney says it's never okay 0:19:22.240 --> 0:19:25.200 to tamper with witnesses, and it or because then they 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:27.840 say that some other they never say it was the 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:30.800 same blog. And they also don't say that Young Thug 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:35.919 retweeted this, but that the next thing was a post 0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:40.159 was out there that called for the murder of Fanny 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:43.920 Willis right, and so, but they never said that Young 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:46.640 Thug posted that or retweeted it, or that it came 0:19:46.720 --> 0:19:48.679 from the same place, but they just put that in 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:52.040 the universe. And so the lawyer responds to it and 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:56.199 says it's also not okay to threaten law enforcement. But 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:59.359 then he goes on to say that Young Thug did 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:04.280 not do any anything wrong and therefore Fanny Willis presenting 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.919 this type of motion to have him sent back to jail. 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:11.320 Is like, not, okay, it's stupid, it's wrong or whatever. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:12.240 That's not his words. 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.720 I'm just saying what he's saying is wrong, that he 0:20:14.720 --> 0:20:19.280 shouldn't do it. So now, if it is true, right, 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:21.480 and so again that there are people who don't feel 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:23.280 like he should have to go back to jail for that. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.960 If it is true that a blogger posted this thing, 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:34.119 this person, this witness's face, name address, and if it 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:39.000 is true that young thug retweeted it, I think that's stupid. 0:20:39.560 --> 0:20:41.840 That's just me, but there might be some other people 0:20:41.840 --> 0:20:43.080 as saying not. 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:44.800 I just think it's stupid. 0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:48.320 First of all, we know all the legal implications and 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.160 what if something happens to this person, how do you 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.800 You're now a part of it. But also you gotta 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:59.320 stay out of trouble. You gotta stay away from people, 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:05.560 place in spaces that could potentially put you back in 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.800 some mess or in a situation. 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.640 And I just feel like even when he first came 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:12.000
