In order to extort money from 50 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: a massage therapist who refused to take a credit card 51 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: payment from him, POPO say, Donald Doolittle pulled out an 52 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: ID card labeled ICE, identified himself as an ICE agent 53 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: and said he needed to see the victim's ID, and 54 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: demanded five hundred dollars. Ooh, Donald Doolittle because she wouldn't. 55 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 4: ABC thirteen with the story supposedly a man of God, 56 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 4: but police say, certainly no agent of Ice. Don Doolittle, 57 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 4: listed as safety director on the Gateway Community Church of 58 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: Webster's website, charged with impersonating a public servant Thursday. Police 59 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 4: say he flashed a fake ICE ID at this Northwest 60 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 4: Houston massage parlor, bettered to have the massage therapist deported 61 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: if she didn't pay him money. Investigators say Doolittle had 62 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 4: booked and received a massage from the victim. The problems 63 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 4: arose when Doolittle went to pay. He wanted to use 64 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 4: a credit guard, but the victim told him she only 65 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 4: accepted cash or Zell payments, and at that point, she said. 66 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 5: He pulled out an ID card a little ice stated 67 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 5: he was an ICE agent who needs to see her ID. 68 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: Police say the victim complied, showing him her temporary visa, 69 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 4: but that apparently wasn't enough, because they say Doolittle went 70 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 4: on to insist she also sent him money. 71 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 5: He said he demanded she sell him five hundred dollars 72 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: or he would take her away and she would never 73 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 5: see her family. 74 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 4: Or children again. The victim sent the money, police say, 75 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: only to hear from Dolittle again, this time assuring her 76 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 4: she wouldn't be hearing from any other ICE agents that. 77 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 5: He would market as not prostitution. 78 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: According to prosecutors, the victim ultimately told her story to 79 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 4: police officers, who she happened to run. 80 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 6: Into the next day. 81 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: When they interviewed Doolittle, they say he denied getting a 82 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: massage or going to the victim's business, but that surveillance 83 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 4: video proved otherwise. Gateway Community Church didn't respond when asked 84 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 4: about Doolittle's arrest and an affidavit filed at the court. 85 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: He knows he's worked there for ten years. 86 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I never went there, and we have 87 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 2: a video of you going there. I never went inside 88 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 2: and got a massage. Here's the video of you going 89 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: in and getting a massage. 90 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 6: I work at the church. 91 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: That's what we got. The best part is he's pulling 92 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: a stick up on somebody who's actually met him before, 93 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: so you know he's got to kermit the frog voice 94 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 2: or some distinctive feature, and then he's going back to 95 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: jack her up for five hundred bucks. I wonder how 96 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 2: he decided on the amount. I wonder where he got 97 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: the Ice card printed. Did it give a name for 98 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 2: him or just say Ice? I'm here with Ice. What 99 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: did that stand for? It's just Ice. You know everybody 100 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: knows Ice. It's what it is. You've seen it on TV, right, 101 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 2: and uh so, I'm gonna need your papers and more importantly, 102 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: some money from Ice and everything. You don't need it 103 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 2: on my name because from from Ice here you probably 104 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 2: see it on TV and stuff. That's what I kind 105 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 2: of when I do everything. You know, it's my job. 106 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: I had a moment wake up and you see something 107 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: around you and you didn't know it, and however old 108 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 2: you are, that's the moment you realize it and you think, 109 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 2: if I hadn't known that X number of years ago, 110 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: how it could have changed my life. I was watching 111 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: a video of Odell Beckham Junior, and he signed a 112 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 2: five five million dollar, five year, one hundred million dollar 113 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 2: contract twenty million dollars a year, so one hundred million dollars. 114 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: He was on a podcast. It was pretty clear he's 115 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: burned through it without him saying it. And he said, 116 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: you gotta understand, people hear one hundred million dollars, you 117 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: don't actually get a hundred million dollars. You only get 118 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:28,319 Speaker 2: sixty And they're like, oh wow, like you throwing knowledge, bro, 119 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: you throwing knowledge.

Okay, 122 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: So he says, you know, people think you know one 123 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 2: hundred million dollars, but it's it's only sixty million cause 124 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 2: of taxes, and the other two are going yeah, right, right, 125 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 2: stros real man.

They're not gonna give you motht 131 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 2: of it. And so you get twelve million, you know, 132 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: and then and then about time you out of money, 133 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 2: you're like, I'm ready for that next one, you know, 134 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: and so they're like, now, oh no, you got two 135 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: months to go. So they continue this conversation and he explains, 136 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: without defending it, why the money is all gone, and 137 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 2: he says, the kind of things you got to spend 138 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 2: it on, you know, because I'm gonna buy me a call, 139 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 2: you know, by my car, you know, buy my mama house. 140 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 2: I'm buy my mama.

No, no, you don't. 143 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: When you talk about aspects of culture that get people 144 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: into trouble, that moment right there is what gets people 145 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 2: into trouble. That is the difference between cultures and subcultures 146 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: that thrive, and those that barely survive are worse. I 147 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,199 Speaker 2: was watching a video with Michael Dell and it says 148 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 2: he's going to invest six points six point two five 149 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 2: million dollars into these Trump accounts for X number of 150 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 2: babies when they're born. I was raised among working class people. 151 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 2: The concept of investing was alien to me. I didn't 152 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: know anyone who invested in anyone in anything. All we 153 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: knew was that you wanted to save your money, and 154 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 2: by save, I mean put into a savings account at 155 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 2: the bank. If you when you got paid your wage 156 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: from your employer, if you didn't spend all of that 157 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 2: and you put some in a savings account with almost 158 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 2: no growth by the way, then you were considered a responsible, 159 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 2: good person. When you look at a projection of the 160 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 2: difference between saving what you don't spend and investing what 161 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 2: you don't spend. With an average investment return over the 162 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: period of ten years, it'll surprise you. Twenty years I 163 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: I will be saucers thirty years.

Renting a Limo was the epitome 354 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,239 Speaker 2: of middle class division kids living outside their means. And 355 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 2: it was awesome. That's true, It is so true. So 356 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 2: this toddler story three toddlers, three sorry, three children. It 357 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 2: was a toddler's birthday party. But the children were at 358 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 2: the party.

You won't be a snitch. Wait 364 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 2: a minute, Yeah, if I was aware of who killed 365 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 2: your children, I'd want to come forward and tell you, 366 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 2: so you could track them down and put them in prison. 367 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: I wouldn't hesitate and say, well, I know who killed 368 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 2: those children, but I don't want to tell because that 369 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 2: would make me an outcast from society, because in my 370 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 2: cultural paradigm, sharing that information is worse than killing kids. 371 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: And the mother is saying, I'll give you an exemp 372 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 2: an exemption. This is not a snitching. See, we don't 373 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 2: talk like that where I live. When you talk like that, 374 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: your culture is broken. That's how people walk down the 375 00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:00,080 Speaker 2: streets and shoot each other over some supposed gang turf. 376 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,879 Speaker 2: We control this busted up corner of Cracknelan. You can't 377 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 2: have it. We're willing to risk going to life, going 378 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: to prison for life, to control this corner selling poison 379 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 2: to kids. Somebody's got to stand up and say, stop 380 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 2: blaming people outside your community. Start taking responsibility. You are 381 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 2: your own worst problem. Stop being a victim and feeling 382 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:35,159 Speaker 2: sorry for yourself. Start standing up and taking back your culture. 383 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 2: And then the Vice mayor of Stockton, he's a he's 384 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: an authority figure. He redefines what being a gangsta is. 385 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 13: It's never been gangster to kill kids. Never, It's never 386 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 13: been gangst to kill kids. You went in a in 387 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 13: a birthday party and shot people's children. So I just 388 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 13: want I know we're here, we want to if I 389 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,640 Speaker 13: could just parents brought their children out and they left 390 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 13: with medical examiners. That is not human. That is not human. 391 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 13: And I will say to those who are thinking of retaliation, 392 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 13: when my brother got murdered, I thought about it too. 393 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 13: It's human to want to hurt people who hurt people 394 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 13: you love. But I had a choice of mak and 395 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 13: I hope that the people out there in our community 396 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 13: make the right choice and contact law enforced men. Called 397 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 13: me and called the mayor, Call whoever you know, called 398 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 13: the pastors, call your friend, turn yourself in, because at 399 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 13: some point, the redemption for what you did is gonna 400 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 13: happen when you see the person that created you. But 401 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 13: you could start that process by turning yourself in and 402 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 13: doing the right things. 403 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 2: Okay, the last part is actually really good. I like 404 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:47,160 Speaker 2: it because I've seen boys in the hood and no 405 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 2: matter what you smoke somebody, you get smoked the next day. 406 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 2: So you went to all that trouble, you got the 407 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:58,239 Speaker 2: lift package, you color the purple, the whole deal.

Yeah, but let's 410 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 2: go back to the original line. Play play that first 411 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 2: line of that again. 412 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 13: It's never been gangster to kill kids. Never, It's never 413 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 13: been gangs. 414 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: To kill We are defining the concept of what it 415 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 2: means to be gangster. This is as profound to America's 416 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: crime problem as anything we deal with. It's never been 417 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 2: gangster to kill kids. So killing kids is outside the 418 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 2: realm of this really cool thing. Now, if you think 419 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 2: this really really cool thing extends to killing kids, it doesn't. 420 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 2: There's this really cool thing over here that's being gangster. 421 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 2: And here's what being gangster means. Okay, how about this. 422 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 2: If being gangster doesn't mean killing kids, what does it mean? 423 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 2: Does it mean going through the neighborhood mowing lawns and 424 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 2: saving the money, Because that's what I did? Was I gangster? 425 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 2: Just the word boy in the hood, which is lawn 426 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 2: mow work?

Was that gangster? 438 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 2: That's what I thought was a good thing. That's what 439 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: I thought was noble. Did I have a different paradigm 440 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 2: when we have acknowledged that being gangster is the goal, 441 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 2: and we are attempting and this is actually, this is 442 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: actually progress to say, hey, killing killing kids not gangster. 443 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 2: Why is any part of gangster good? See, there's your problem. 444 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 2: You're not repudiating the entirety of it. Stop being a thug. 445 00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: It's a dead end street. But that's not what we've done, 446 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,320 Speaker 2: is it. We've got politicians trying to what was Joe 447 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:55,239 Speaker 2: Biden doing with that corn pop story?

Hey, all the white 451 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 2: people over here, they don't know about corn pop. They 452 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 2: run from corn pop, not me.
