1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: So yesterday Larry Hoover was commuted on a federal level

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: by President Donald Trump. For people who don't understand what

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: that means, that means that basically we talked about this

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: in Front Page News this morning, his charges on the

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: federal level will be like excused or overlooked. But anything

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: else you're still dealing with, you still have to deal with.

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: And Larry Hoover is very much so still dealing with

8
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: a two hundred year sentence for murder on the state level. Yes,

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: state level.

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 2: So he's not free.

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 3: No, he's not saying welcome home and all that he is.

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: No, he is not coming home. He is not walking out.

13
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: Ain't no welcome home Larry Hoover partyes'.

14
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 3: You know what I meant.

15
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: That's why I text you on the group land.

16
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 3: What is commutation or what is community?

17
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: Yeah?

18
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 3: He was, Yeah, he was moving him from one person

19
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 3: to the other.

20
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: I didn't know Chance Rapper was one of the people

21
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: who actually posted online. He didn't understand what was happening.

22
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 4: Let's take a listen, hey, Before I let y'all politicize

23
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 4: this or memify this, I just got to say I

24
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: am glad that Larry Hoover's home, and I got to

25
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 4: remind y'all that he was a political prisoner that was

26
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 4: set up by the federal government that he created the

27
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 4: was the Chicago votes. He did so many things to

28
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 4: like to really like mobilize our people, and he was

29
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 4: really targeted for that. And so before I get to

30
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 4: Coonan or doing whatever they're gonna do with this information,

31
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 4: I just wanted to say, I'm so glad that he's

32
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: home and God bless his family, and yeah, thank god.

33
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 3: Chance aren't my feelings because that's just spreading such misinformation,

34
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: and Chance is way smarter than that. You know, if

35
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 3: you just read a little bit more chance, you would

36
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 3: know he's not coming home. But that just lets me

37
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 3: know all chance they was read the headlines or saw J.

38
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Prince's post. J Prince of laugh a lot over in Houston.

39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: You don't even sorry, y'all, okay, posted yesterday, and when

40
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: he posted, his caption literally said Larry Hoover has been

41
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: partoned by Donald Trump. So even when I post day

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and people were upset, I posted it exactly with what J.

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Prince said because I knew people were going to be

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: upset about it, because it doesn't mean that he's walking

45
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: out of the anywhere today or tomorrow at the bar

46
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: he was commuted. So to explain a bit really quick,

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: who Larry Hoover was. He was the co founder Against

48
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the Disciples, which was a Chicago based gang that, according

49
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: to police, engaged in drug trafficking, extortion, and murder, which

50
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: is why he's going through everything he's going through right now.

51
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 5: Now.

52
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: We talked to Larry Hoover's son because I was trying

53
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: to get clarification for you guys on what this actually

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: means and what the state level looks like for Larry

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Hoover right now. There was so much misinformation going around

56
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: with a lot of people thinking that, you know, what

57
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: we saw yesterday with Trump and everything that was announced

58
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 1: with Larry Hoover meant that your dad was going to

59
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: walk out of you know, the federal prison and you know,

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: be clear of everything today like right now.

61
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 5: Right. So I've been speaking on this anytime. I was

62
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 5: in a few and I was trying to let people

63
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 5: know that he was being held under Jewish due the jurisdiction,

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: which is he's been held under state law and he

65
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 5: has been held under federal law at the same time.

66
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 5: So he still had two cases to fight, so he

67
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 5: had to fight the federal case and he still had

68
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: to fight the state case. So now he's dealing with

69
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 5: the state case. I don't really know the law owner.

70
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 5: They I heard that it was illegal to help hold

71
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: a person under jeurishdiction, which they don't usually do, but

72
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 5: they never uplifted the state case when they took him

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 5: in a federal custom. So now we're dealing with state

74
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 5: law now.

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: So I know that you guys have like this movement

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: that you're trying to do work when it comes to

77
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: the state things you guys are asking for like local

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: leadership that would actually be able to do anything. Is

79
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: it like lessen the sentence or what are you asking

80
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: for on the state level.

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: Okay, so my father is actually a C number, and

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 5: C numbers were because you know, people have a misunderstanding

83
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: everything that's going on. People are talking about the narrative

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 5: of who they say my father is and what he

85
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: has done. We're going back to his statecase and he

86
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 5: was sentenced as a seat number. A seat number were

87
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: men that were sentenced in the seventies, and they gave

88
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 5: him indetermined systems. So his sentence was to be at

89
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: least two hundred years, and he has to go to

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 5: the parole board every It was supposed to be every year,

91
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 5: and when we went to court last they wanted to

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 5: make it five years, but the lawyers fought and they

93
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 5: made it made it three years. So the seat numbers

94
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 5: go to the parole board. They don't have a determined

95
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 5: amount of time. They go to the parole board and

96
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 5: it's up to them to decide whether they deserve to

97
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: be paroled. And when my father went to be paroled

98
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 5: last time, they said that he didn't do what they

99
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 5: needed him to do, even though he was in the

100
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 5: eighty X and it was no way possible for him

101
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 5: to do the things that they needed to do. They

102
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 5: saying like, oh, you didn't take classes, you didn't do this,

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 5: to try to show show that you was thankful on him,

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 5: that you regret what you did. But at the same

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 5: time he's locked in the closet underground in Colorado.

106
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: And then when I posted on online, I knew that

107
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: the natural pushback would be but this man is responsible

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: for you know, the like I mentioned, there is alleged

109
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: drug traffic and extortion and murder. So I ask his son, like,

110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: this is how people feel. They feel like, you're we're

111
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: glorifying someone who caused all of these things in the community.

112
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: What do you say to that? And here's what he said.

113
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 5: People just say that they don't understand who he is.

114
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 5: They listen to the narrative of people that don't know

115
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 5: what they're talking about. Can they tell you people that

116
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 5: he has caused to be killed or that he has

117
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 5: said killed or killed hisself. He's been in prison all

118
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 5: of this time. Right now, we're fighting up. We're fighting

119
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: the stadcase that happened when he was twenty two years old,

120
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 5: when he was a baby, and they said that he

121
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 5: gave the call for somebody to be murdered, and his

122
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 5: raft on the case said that he did the murder

123
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 5: and he was released. That's what we're fighting with right now.

124
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: Right The stuff that those people are talking about are

125
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 5: He'll say rumors. I'm not saying that my father wasn't

126
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 5: in leadership at one point and wasn't involved in the streets.

127
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 5: But he's on he's had transformation. He was an illiterate,

128
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 5: dyslexic child. When he went to jail, he told himself

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 5: how to read, He told himself how to become a man.

130
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 5: He educated himself. He went to college, he became a

131
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 5: a paramedic. You know, he taught classes. But he went

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 5: in as a dyslestic kid. He couldn't read, and he

133
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 5: told hisself nobody told him. Like people are speaking of

134
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: who they think he is and what the rumors of

135
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 5: him are. They don't know who he is. They need

136
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 5: to look bustled. They need to hear real information instead

137
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: of listening to rumors that have been passed around the city. See,

138
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 5: we're fighting the monster the picture that they painted, but

139
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 5: we're not. They don't know anything about Larry Who. If

140
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: it was if they know about Larry Who, they would

141
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 5: understand that he wants the same thing that these people want.

142
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: He's not for kids dying in the streets. He's not

143
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 5: for ladies being raped and harm. He's not for man.

144
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 5: He's a peaceful individual. He's for everything for black people.

145
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate that. Thank you so much for joining us.

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,160

Speaker 5: to ask him to sign the paper to give my

154
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: father a second chance of life. We're fighting a case

155
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 5: from when he was twenty two years old in which

156
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: his rappie said that he committed the crime and he

157
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: was released. We're not fight We shouldn't be fighting the rumors.

158
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 5: We should be fighting what the real situation is. That

159
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 5: was the problem in the first place. If the law applied,

160
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 5: he would have been released because of the law. Everybody

161
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: that was on his case with him, they was released

162
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: because of the first step back, because the time didn't

163
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: amount for the time that they gave him, and all

164
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 5: of his rapis were released. But because he was Larry Hoover,

165
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 5: they didn't agree with the law. And I had to

166
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: thank Donald Trump for going above the law to give

167
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 5: my father an opportunity. And now, as far as the

168
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 5: staycas is concerned, can we please follow the law. We're

169
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 5: supposed to believe in justice and our If we supposed

170
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 5: to believe justice and followed the law, the law needs

171
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: to work for us and our governor says he believes

172
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 5: in transformation, He believes in he believes in rehabilitation. He

173
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: believes in redemption. And my father has rehabilitated itself. He

174
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 5: has transformed from the young man that he once was,

175
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 5: and he deserves redemption. He's folk. I mean, he's been there.

176
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: Imagine living in the closet for thirty years. Close your

177
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 5: eyes and go in your closet and stay there. Can

178
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 5: you stay there for thirty years? You don't think he's

179
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 5: regretful for what he did? Do you think he would

180
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 5: be interested in coming back to the world and being

181
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 5: a part of criminology. He's a senior, he's an elderly man.

182
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 5: This picture behind me is not who he is right now.

183
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: Larr Hoover is not There's no welcome home Laron Hoover

184
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 1: parties today or tomorrow. It's not happening. They're trying to

185
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: get things handled on the state level. But even if so,

186
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: at what I think in what they're trying to do

187
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 1: is they want less. They know that he there's no

188
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: way that he's going to walk free one hundred percent,

189
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: but they want less. They feel like it's over assessive

190
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: and as you heard of Sin say, they feel like

191
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: he's a changed person out he should be looked at

192
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: as that.

193
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, two hundred years, two hundred years in prison is crazy,

194
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 3: but I can't see it happening only because of who

195
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: the governor is. The governor is uh JB JB. Pritzer,

196
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: he's a Democrat.

197
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: They're trying to put some I guess pressure on them,

198
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: get the public to start writing letters and things like that,

199
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: but maybe don't give it.

200
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: Then they were online yesterday on Instagram Live. I was

201
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: on there. There was on there for about an hour

202
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: getting people to tag them and saying call his office.

203
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:30,599
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know if that's going to

204
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: work because Larry Hoover was such a big name, the

205
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: case was such a big thing, Like, I don't know

206
