29
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:17.479
of the month. Yes, And
something happened. I missed the reunion and

30
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.400
everything. I'm like, wait a
minute, I don't know another reunion.

31
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:25.919
I'm not gonna say that I missed
the martial arts tournament that occurs the weekend

32
00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.680
of the fourth of July. It
just went right on bout them, like

33
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:36.919
and being a show it. Yeah, are you talking about that? They

34
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:39.199
had him for a lot of them. Oh no, No. They have

35
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:44.240
the US Open here in Orlando.
Oh okay at the car not the whole

36
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:47.159
tel every year and I'm my boy, the bad to the bone. These

37
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:52.360
women took it. They took first
place in all they just advertising it or

38
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.360
you know ESPN. I'm like,
don't tell me that this is this year's

39
00:03:55.719 --> 00:04:00.800
tournament. And it was well,
I was like, oh my, where

40
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:09.599
the month go? We were just
in June. No, anyway, last

41
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:18.360
weekend was the July the fourth right, ten? Yeah, yeah, done,

42
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:24.279
it's done. It's done. Whatever
you've not gotten old, you know,

43
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.120
you're not completed your to do list, your vision board, whatever,

44
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.279
it's done. This is the ten
t pars the eleven. Yeah, this

45
00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:38.560
weekend and be the fourteen half the
Yeah, we're done. We're done.

46
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.040
And you're still, you know,
dragging feet on stuff and you're still trying

47
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:45.040
to put some goals out there.
And I don't know who you're fooling,

48
00:04:45.079 --> 00:04:46.920
because it's like you buy the size
eight and you know you're still a fourteen.

49
00:04:49.319 --> 00:04:55.480
I don't understand that. I go
buy after I've lost the weight.

50
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.959
Why do you buy before you lose
the weight? And that's not an incentive

51
00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:01.680
because guess what I've seen it at
the good Will of the original text,

52
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:11.480
Oh wow, wow, stop fooling
yourself, and and and don't bring us

53
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:15.079
in it us three, don't bring
us in it, okay, because you're

54
00:05:15.120 --> 00:05:16.240
just fooling yourself. And all we
can do is sit there and look at

55
00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:26.839
you like Joe friends. They're gonna
be like the three. How didn't say

56
00:05:27.199 --> 00:05:39.639
see no evil speak no even you're
no evil? No, no, oh

57
00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:47.519
God, but my face'll tell it
all. Be like, hey, why

58
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:50.839
are you still we talk about this
about six years ago? Why are you

59
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:56.959
still talking about this? In the
words of Steve Harvey's mother, Steve would

60
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.319
come and say, MA, I'm
getting me a new call. I'm saving

61
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:00.360
I got about y'all, but we
get me in the car. She said,

62
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:04.879
that's nice, sun, but where
you're gonna put It's like and three

63
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:10.000
more times she that same dialogue.
Mom, I'm almost about to get my

64
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.680
new car. She said, that's
nice, sun, but where you're gonna

65
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.680
put it? He said, what's
wrong with you? Why do you keep

66
00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.199
saying that? She said, well, the car you used to have is

67
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:23.079
out there, own blocks in the
carboard, oil and grease all on the

68
00:06:23.120 --> 00:06:26.879
carboard. It's filthy out there.
So I just like to know where you're

69
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:30.079
gonna put the new car. And
you need to get rid of the own

70
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:35.199
He sold it for parts. He
got somebody, He got some turpetis or

71
00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:40.040
something to get that grease up and
everything. He next time he came over,

72
00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:42.360
he said, Mom, I got
my car. She said, good

73
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:50.920
thing. You had a place to
put it. All right, So we're

74
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:57.000
gonna talk about you know, it's
International Youth Day and Youth Celebration and you

75
00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:01.920
Skill Celebration and World Population Day.
We're gonna talk about those things because and

76
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:05.519
it's good that we're we're all.
We're all. The show will align itself

77
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:10.879
up, and it doesn't matter how
we start. This is God's shell.

78
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.120
It's gonna align itself up in a
circle back where it needs to. We

79
00:07:15.279 --> 00:07:20.079
just let him have this web am, and we let him have his webbing.

80
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.199
We're just his instruments. We're just
his voice in this human body.

81
00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:28.360
So we're gonna circle back. But
I want to tell you, I think

82
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.759
you know, speaking of you know, you're making these promises you have all

83
00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:38.680
these dreams, but you're not cleaning
up things, you're not decluttering. That's

84
00:07:38.680 --> 00:07:43.399
why your brain is so clouded.
It's full with cobwebs, and and it's

85
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:46.639
full of, you know, just
memories because you're not cleaning. That's why

86
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:55.079
the Bible say renew your mind daily. And I'm looking at these young people.

87
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.839
I'm looking at these young people,
the gen zs and the millennials,

88
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:03.560
and I'm like, Jesus, how
mercy. They don't get it. They

89
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.439
don't get it, and they're getting
ain't they get I mean, people get

90
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.879
the young kids get mad in publics
because their mothers won't buy them. Then,

91
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.720
you know, Captain crunch cereal,
what's gonna happen when we came and

92
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:22.680
go to the grocery store anymore?
Because there's no cereal? Who who are

93
00:08:22.680 --> 00:08:26.720
you gonna get bad at? Then? Who you're gonna blame? Little little

94
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:35.399
person, little bo peete? What
you're doing and you're not getting them ready?

95
00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.039
You're not getting them ready. There's
conversations that need to be had around

96
00:08:41.080 --> 00:08:46.720
the dining room table. There are
conversations. I know, you may have

97
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:52.679
to come on back home. Mine
couldn't even leave because they couldn't afford to

98
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.000
go out there, and I don't
have a revolved door, so they've been

99
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.159
camped out in back, you know, bout them. So that's about it.

100
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.840
You can't come back and through the
front door. Come on, Lord,

101
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:09.759
So we celebrate our youth. Of
course, they're the generation, they're

102
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:13.120
the up and coming generation, they're
the decision makers. But right now I

103
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.080
heard out of Tennessee. One of
my first spiritual daughters work at the movie

104
00:09:18.120 --> 00:09:22.240
theater up there, and now her
co workers are saying, well, no,

105
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.440
I am not Leah, I'm Liam. And she's like, well,

106
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.279
your badge says something different. Well, I said, I'm reported you to

107
00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:33.960
HR because you're not respecting my rights. And she's like wait a minute.

108
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.320
And then another one came in and
said, well, i'm a cat today

109
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:39.799
and you can refer to me as
the cat. She said, no,

110
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.600
I'm not gonna do that. That's
that's not what your mother named you.

111
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:46.639
I'm gonna go buy that. And
I told her and she told me her

112
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:50.200
those stories. Right, I said, just call hey, you bill An.

113
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.919
You go put the popcorn, you
go get the cad and there on

114
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.519
the shelves. You go clean up
theaters eighteen you through twenty. You go,

115
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:03.559
yeah, you you, I'm talking
to you. Meet you. Yeah

116
00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:05.519
see I can't and point my finger. She said, oh god, I

117
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:09.799
said, yeah, just call her
behy you and they all all three of

118
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:13.159
turn around because they don't know who
who you're talking to. Oh yeah,

119
00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:22.600
you you and you any meeting and
mining go clear up the theaters, you

120
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:31.080
know, okay, okay, oh
yeah, I'm in red for him tonight.

121
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.960
I don't know what I may say, so y'all may need to mute

122
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:41.720
un mute real quick, and because
I'll be looking at you like it's not

123
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:48.879
going it's but we have to give
God praise. Um. I my heart

124
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.200
goes out to the youth. I
don't know whose prayer points involve the youth

125
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:58.399
and the generations, the younger generations, but somebody is really not praying hard

126
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:03.600
enough because what I'm hearing, what
I'm seeing, um, the bathing and

127
00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.240
just the non the carelessness and just
the forgetfulness. And I you know,

128
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:13.440
I went to get my hair done
and one of my daughter's classmates, he

129
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:15.600
said, I'm gonna go to the
store. So he I said, could

130
00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:18.159
you bring me back a PEPSI?
He said sure, he said, Mama,

131
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:22.679
got you and I'm like, okay, but I know he went out

132
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:26.799
to do his thing and came back, walked right on back. Ain't got

133
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:33.080
no Solda and say yeah. I
was like well, and I'm looking back

134
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:35.000
at my daughter, but I was
like what my what? And I'm like,

135
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.360
he didn't bring me back, my
Solda, didn't bring back what's on

136
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:46.240
his mind? What's up? You're
the one announced you you were going to

137
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:50.200
the store. You and I don't
have no conversation. I asked for one.

138
00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:54.320
I would pay for my own and
it wasn't about payment, It's just

139
00:11:54.480 --> 00:12:03.200
you forgot it in less than ten
seconds. He So then I'm feeling some

140
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:05.720
kind of way because that ushered in. You know lately, people just been

141
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.600
kind of taking me for granted,
and and and and that ushered that in.

142
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:13.480
And I'm sitting there like and and
I couldn't. I was I was

143
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:18.960
at my cup was running over in
a negative way, and I had my

144
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:20.279
moments and my daughter's like, mom, what's what? I was wrong?

145
00:12:20.320 --> 00:12:22.679
On Sorong? And I just was
telling them, June, I have my

146
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:26.600
mask on, so I'm just like, nobody will notice what I'm doing.

147
00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:31.360
But when you when when you it
just that just comes a day and a

148
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:39.960
time where people I always prioritize what
I need to prioritize. I prioritize what

149
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.480
I need to prioritize. I schedule
just about everything manually. And I know

150
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:54.440
not everybody does that. I get
that. But these young people, anybody

151
00:12:54.519 --> 00:12:58.759
younger than than me, anybody younger
than me, I don't know what your

152
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:09.559
head, zack. And the car
accidents that are daily now morning and afternoon,

153
00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:16.039
you're just hearing and now the police
are not even responding anymore. It

154
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:22.159
was worse last year. It's worse. The people there was a fire somewhere

155
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.039
and it took them over twenty minutes
to get to them because they didn't have

156
00:13:26.120 --> 00:13:31.080
people. As you all have heard, Orlando or Airport shut down over the

157
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:35.600
weekend, shut down again today because
of the weather. Now it's dark,

158
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:41.799
kind of gloomy. But I don't
know why Polo couldn't get the plane up

159
00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:48.759
in the air and get these people
about it here so young. I'm concerned

160
00:13:48.759 --> 00:13:52.039
about our young people. Many many
boozes ago, they used to invest in

161
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.279
us. You know, these young
people, you the future of the world,

162
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.799
and you know, you know you're
the voice or tomorrow. And I

163
00:13:56.840 --> 00:14:01.360
don't want none of the people speaking
for me, because they'll forget about you.

164
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:03.279
You're on top of the hill of
the wheelchair. They look back and

165
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:11.279
let you go, you know,
because they got so much on their minds

166
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:18.320
and nobody's teaching them to pray this
out. They're not even giving folks skills

167
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.919
to do better. Most of these
after school or some of these summer programs.

168
00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:28.360
I'm here. That's not even staff
showing up. They just basically babysity.

169
00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:31.399
Do what y'all need to do.
Y'all be quiet, y'all sitting over

170
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.279
there. Oh, get bringing lunch, y' Oh, it's a mess.

171
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:46.159
It's a mess. It's a mess. And you've got you know who who

172
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:52.399
and hit his mind in their minds, they're the voice. They're speaking for

173
00:14:52.480 --> 00:15:00.440
the people, both elected officials and
not elected officials people, and that thing

174
00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.000
is by the world population. Let's
you know what, let's starve them out.

175
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.720
We've already proven than in twenty twenty
we could shut the world down.

176
00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:15.000
We already proved it. We can
make them paranoia, we can make them

177
00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.639
anxious. Well, dumb, dumb, you got to take care of these

178
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.960
people that are paranoia and that are
anxious now I can carry a gun and

179
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:31.840
don't have to be legal. See
that's what the devil dones. He makes

180
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.320
his followers think that they're untouchable,
that, oh, nobody's gonna bother nobody's

181
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:43.279
strong enough to bother you, nobody's
wise enough, nobody's smart enough to see

182
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:50.039
what we're doing right in front of
our eyes. And again going back to

183
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.879
the youth, what are you teaching
it? What are we showing the youth

184
00:15:52.919 --> 00:16:00.360
today? What are we showing them? More alcohol is coming off the shells

185
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.200
and Public's. I was clear in
Public's last week. And I don't even

186
00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:07.240
know why God will make me look
at people baskets. I'm trying to get

187
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:10.600
out of there because I'm looking at
Look, there's a dark cloud. More

188
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:12.120
people are coming, they're running in
the store. Now we need to get

189
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:17.159
out out of here because it's gonna
get crowded. And everybody had at least

190
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:22.519
two to three bottles of liquor wine
in their shopping cart next to the eggs.

191
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:29.519
I don't understand. It saved my
life. Lady got a new born

192
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.679
baby, but she got the wine
in the basket. I said, I

193
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:40.639
know nobody sees this. Nobody sees
this people coming out the liquor store of

194
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.759
public can't even kick the listen,
just go to we got a separate place

195
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.120
over there, you y'all go.
They just pouring out. Man had a

196
00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:51.919
walker, couldn't even put the bottle
over the day he tried to walk with

197
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:57.399
the You should have had somebody to
come help helm. You know you're sitting

198
00:16:57.399 --> 00:17:00.039
them to the store to get the
liquors, so you need to help it.

199
00:17:03.159 --> 00:17:07.920
So what are you teaching the kids? This is how you solve This

200
00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:11.559
is how you you you resolve things. This is how you This is what

201
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:15.039
you do. What are you telling
that? What can what are we telling

202
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:19.880
me? Are you My daughter had
a young lady. She was doing her

203
00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:25.960
hair yesterday and a mom brought her
some food and stuff, and the Lord

204
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:29.000
told me to go out and just
share my testimony. If how the Lord.

205
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.920
I accepted the Lord while I was
studying the two psych exams. And

206
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:34.000
she's going to eighth grade. That's
how. I just want you to know.

207
00:17:34.200 --> 00:17:38.000
Jesus can help you with your studying. All you have to do is

208
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:42.200
talk to him. Jesus can help. He's right there. You don't have

209
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.400
to wait till you get older and
you have a family and the husband leave

210
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:48.640
you and the kids walk out the
house, and somebody steals your car in

211
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.519
your house, catch you on fire, and you ain't got to wait to

212
00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:56.440
all that. You can accept him
right now. And the mother's like,

213
00:17:56.759 --> 00:18:03.279
you know, but she appreciated it. So what's going on up there where

214
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:10.319
you're at trade with the young people? Anything positive? I mean, I'm

215
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:14.160
pretty sure there's a lot of positive
things going on. It's it's like with

216
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:18.039
everywhere, you know, you know, hearing people that I know that are

217
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:23.920
in the school system and just talking
about total disrespect of some of the students.

218
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:30.319
It's all and an administrator's hands being
tied or can't address it and won't

219
00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.480
address it, or you know,
safety issue. You know, it's it's

220
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:40.279
it's the communication piece and so and
when you're talking about different things, I

221
00:18:40.400 --> 00:18:47.799
always go back when we're talking about
h social interaction, even when you're addressing

222
00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:52.720
domestic violence, when you're addressing you
know, it's that communication piece, which

223
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.279
if you look at everything, it's
the communication piece. So the choices do

224
00:18:59.359 --> 00:19:03.640
you communicate Kate just using your words? And what words do you use?

225
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:10.599
Do you communicate using your hands?
And how are you using are you using

226
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.759
for soft touch, or you're using
for intimidation, or are you using them

227
00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.720
to batter or fighting? You know, And and I'm looking at all these

228
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:25.119
videos and stuff on Facebook or people
videotaping and fighting, and if you look

229
00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:30.359
at the reality shows, you know, it's almost it's that's that draw to

230
00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.400
get people in people fighting. And
I said, what is the hype about

231
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.039
this? I don't I don't understand. I don't have the energy for that.

232
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.839
And it's sad, you know,
people videotaping, but nobody's trying to

233
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:45.680
stop the fighting. And I just
want to put it out there. You

234
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.359
know. Everybody think, Okay,
I'm gonna get my point across and I'm

235
00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:51.920
gonna make you feel a certain way
and we're gonna fight. But they don't

236
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.160
think of the downside. Why are
you throwing blows and laying hands and fighting.

237
00:19:56.880 --> 00:20:02.799
You can actually injure someone. Though
your intention may not to be to

238
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:11.279
to just maybe to call some harm
your your your actions could actually seriously injure

239
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.039
someone, you know, like if
they fall, they can hit their head,

240
00:20:15.359 --> 00:20:18.640
that's brain. They can be brain
injury. You can do a whole

241
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:22.960
lot of damage, and people don't
think about that, you know, I

242
00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:26.720
want to get my point. Why
is it that you can't communicate just using

243
00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:30.440
words? I feel this when you
do that, it makes me feel this.

244
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:37.240
Why do we have to result to
actual physical fighting? And my thing

245
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.680
if you want to do it that
way, hey, somebody say this is

246
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.880
the fighting zone. Go to a
local boxing you put on gloves, Let

247
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.759
them put on gloves. That just
those two go on the ring with a

248
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.960
referee, y'all duke it out.
Because people seem to intensify their moods and

249
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:56.240
their behaviors where people are amping them
up, and then you're I'm pretty sure

250
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:57.640
when you're fighting, you hear everybody
says, oh, get to get again,

251
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:03.400
and your goal is to overtake and
the vice versa. All mean,

252
00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:10.680
I've seen people video clothes coming all
it's crazy, it's crazy. And then

253
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.000
when you get charges at the result
of that, what I mean to do

254
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:15.319
it? I was just like,
yeah, but you gotta think first.

255
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.519
Those are some things that we teach, you know, in the mental health

256
00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:26.279
field. Stop think and act.
Stop what you're doing because you can feel

257
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.559
yourself getting hyped up. I know
I can. I know something makes me

258
00:21:29.680 --> 00:21:33.359
angry before I do it, I
feel it. And then you have to

259
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:36.680
kind of talk yourself down. Okay, let me see how I'm going to

260
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:41.519
handle this, because I control how
I control what comes out of my mouth,

261
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:45.519
I control what my hands do,
and then also what's going to happen

262
00:21:45.559 --> 00:21:49.839
on the opposite side. So if
I make it a thing where it's combative,

263
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.559
it's gonna be combative on the officers
that but you could de escalate pretty

264
00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:59.119
much a lot of stuff just by
your voice and the way you respond,

265
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.000
you know what I mean. So
that that's what I see, But there

266
00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.440
are but there also are a lot
of young people that are doing some good,

267
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.440
you know, volunteering and helping folks
and just trying to make a difference.

268
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:15.359
And you know, there were some
young men I saw while they were

269
00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.960
selling their name brand their brand shirts
that they came up. Did I agree

270
00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.039
with the message? No, maybe
not, but they could have been doing

271
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.720
something else. At least they were
asking, do you mind supporting our our

272
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:29.799
shirt? You mind? You know? So I can understand that if that's

273
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:34.480
the way you're coming, But it's
also your guidance who you align yourself with,

274
00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.799
what you're exposed to, you know. But if you're older, with

275
00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:44.920
all this mess and you can't escape
it, you know it if it's in

276
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.839
the house and your community and your
wherever you go, and you can't.

277
00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:52.759
You have to find somewhere whereas I
know, it's somewhere that could be positive.

278
00:22:52.799 --> 00:22:56.559
And then that's where I would encourage
them to use their Google positive things

279
00:22:56.559 --> 00:23:00.119
that kids are doing or youth are
doing today, sayings that you can do

280
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:03.440
as an entrepreneur. Young entrepreneurs,
let me tell you that people out there

281
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:08.079
will support you if you're a young
person. You just you gotta be just

282
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.839
patient, find your niche write up
a little spiel. Hey, I'm such

283
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:17.960
and such, I'm trying to do
this. I want to start and they

284
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:21.559
might be surprised. People might do
that because, like I said, I'd

285
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:26.839
rather you do that than not robbing
somebody or taking advantage of and you know,

286
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:30.799
hanging around with folks that mean you
no good. You know, it's

287
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:34.240
just hot. The exposure. How
do we get them exposed to positive things?

288
00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.519
And how do we move that needle
tree? How do we move the

289
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:42.160
needle? Because parents, on one
hand, they don't want you to say

290
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:48.400
another to their child, but you
could y'all can stand and yell obsidities between

291
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:52.640
each other and disrespect each other.
And I'm just trying to give you some

292
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.160
options on what they could be doing. But now and and it involves the

293
00:23:56.240 --> 00:24:00.200
whole village. The government as well, because they don't have the federal dollars

294
00:24:00.200 --> 00:24:03.880
for these after school these summer cap
programs. We don't have summer caps going

295
00:24:03.920 --> 00:24:07.480
on like we used to do.
You know, I think I think sometimes

296
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.039
and this is just a thought,
and I thought about it before, and

297
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.200
I thought a way that maybe I
can implement it. But I'm just gonna

298
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.160
put it out there because I think
it just needs somebody needs to take a

299
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:22.920
hold of it. But even if
they're in the school, sometimes kids don't

300
00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.920
want to act like they hear you
because it's it's not the it's not the

301
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.039
cool thing to do. You know, you you're talking. But if you

302
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:37.079
post positive affirmation posters throughout the hallway
related to bullying, bullying is not cool.

303
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.359
Bullying means you you are self conscious
about yourself, not bullying. But

304
00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:45.920
if you're in the bullet's not going
to affect you like that, but kind

305
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:51.039
of getting you to think about different
things. You know, there's always a

306
00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:56.039
resource where when they're walking in the
hallway they can see resource without even having

307
00:24:56.079 --> 00:24:59.160
to kind of like sit there and
look up at it, just so that

308
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.599
they can kind of fixate on it, because they're some people afraid of what

309
00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.240
you're looking at that for, you
know, because they're gonna tell you something

310
00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:08.279
peer pressure, it's something else.
But if you do it where if they're

311
00:25:08.279 --> 00:25:15.000
in the school, that's a start. Where you're putting positive affirmations throughout the

312
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.759
school and the hallway and the cafeteria
places that if they post up a certain

313
00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:25.880
place, places that they could see
and this, you know, just kind

314
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.079
of soap that end as a start. Even if you have a marquee with

315
00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:33.480
a rolling video and talking about different
places when they're in you know, in

316
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.680
the hallway community you have an issue
whatever, and sometimes you know, because

317
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:40.599
my mom's said, you don't hear
me, and I heard a lot,

318
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.480
she said sometimes it didn't want to
act like I heard it, but I

319
00:25:42.519 --> 00:25:47.240
did. So if that's the way, that's a start, you know,

320
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:51.480
putting things up in the school where
they go and then hopefully they'll get it

321
00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:55.039
from somewhere. And you know what, while you were saying that trade,

322
00:25:55.960 --> 00:26:00.119
a video ran across my mind and
my eyegate there um, if they could

323
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:06.880
just see families doing things together.
If they could see families in the kitchen

324
00:26:06.960 --> 00:26:11.200
making the pizza, if they could
see it and it just be a video,

325
00:26:11.599 --> 00:26:15.559
just be running, just be running, you know. And in the

326
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:19.599
cafeteria because that's the most grouped like
atmosphere, if they had a you know,

327
00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:23.720
sixty inch TV in there and they
don't have to have volume, but

328
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:29.559
just to see the different families and
what they're doing together, that they're playing

329
00:26:29.559 --> 00:26:33.880
a putting a puzzle together, you
know, that they're playing, you know,

330
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.079
a card game or whatever, you
know, and they're I think that

331
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:44.279
could We're gonna have to We can't
tell them. We can't point and say

332
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:47.599
this is your problem. We can't
do that anymore. You can't say that.

333
00:26:48.279 --> 00:26:52.839
Uh. There was a situation over
the weekend and um um oh it

334
00:26:52.880 --> 00:27:00.640
was on the news and again it
was Caucasian people and uh and going into

335
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.160
an area where there were a lot
of black and brown and they're like,

336
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:08.839
we're here to help help. What
wait, you watch yourself. Nobody called

337
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:11.720
for you to come over here,
number one, And what do you think

338
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:17.799
you're gonna do? You don't even
know me, You don't even know me.

339
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:22.279
I was at a PTA training one
time at the school board. And

340
00:27:22.279 --> 00:27:26.160
this is when one of our high
schools had had was just really pleasuring and

341
00:27:26.200 --> 00:27:30.240
they were just getting an f F
every you know, every every year,

342
00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:36.519
and they changed our principles. They
painted the school. Every civic organization that's

343
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:41.920
in Orlando was partnering with that school, pouring into that school, getting the

344
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:47.480
state of the art equipment, everything. And we're there and a lady,

345
00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:52.880
two women said to me over from
from the high school. And this white

346
00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.559
lady said, oh, we're here
to help. And we all three of

347
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.640
us looked at her like, what
what are you saying? And we appreciate

348
00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.880
your heart, but that's intimidating,
you know. Now you're here to help.

349
00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:07.160
Also, somebody's been talking about us, somebody that told you we need

350
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:12.880
help. And kids watch this because
we had the youth there as well to

351
00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:19.599
represent the S and the PTSA,
and they're watching this like, oh,

352
00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:25.319
you know, but I think if
we have visuals going on, positive commercials

353
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:30.359
going on, um, like I
said, even at the few churches that

354
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.880
are open, you know, having
videos constantly playing showing positiveness, showing what

355
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.599
family interaction is all about. Hut
sort of a father hugging his son and

356
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.759
it's not perverted, you know what
I'm saying. Showing that a mother was

357
00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.279
holding, you know, hugging her
son and looking at her son and having

358
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:52.359
these endearing words. I think I
think it's gonna be visual now. I

359
00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:55.759
don't think. I don't think we're
I think the day of talking to somebody

360
00:28:56.279 --> 00:29:03.759
is pretty much over well because we
have a new interventions called expressive arts,

361
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.119
and we're taking it to that level. Go ahead talking. But you know,

362
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:14.880
um, the schools I've gone in, they have the positive messages on

363
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:22.039
the wall they teaching the Guyana's counselors
all have it all over they really do.

364
00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:27.599
Is it being taught as it just
sitting there? I don't know.

365
00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:36.279
I can't speak for that. And
it's it's interesting we have this conversation because

366
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:42.400
not this past weekend, but the
weekend before I went home and I went

367
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:48.720
to church with a girlfriend and her
dad and her son. This is what

368
00:29:48.839 --> 00:30:00.119
the pastor was teaching on. And
he gave an analogy of the grandparent that

369
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:06.200
was a male or female, the
son of the daughter, and then the

370
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:11.359
grandchild. He had three generations standing
up there and it was about nine families

371
00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:17.200
represented, and he said, give
me, give me a piece of faith.

372
00:30:17.240 --> 00:30:22.160
So a guy handed him tissue box, and he grabbed nine pieces of

373
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:27.000
tissue and gave one to each family, and he said, I tear it

374
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:32.279
off and hand it back to your
son or your daughter, or whoever it

375
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:37.519
was. And then that person handed
it to off theirs and handed it back

376
00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:44.519
and he said now, and he
said, everybody got there, to everybody

377
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:48.720
you know waited it, he said, I give it back to the front,

378
00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:55.839
the oldest person. And he said
and his analogy was, look how

379
00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:00.880
much you gain, but what you
was giving to those behind you. In

380
00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:08.000
other words, he was teaching that
the grandparents, the parents, whether your

381
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:18.799
grandparent or parent, your life should
be emulated through those children because you're teaching

382
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:26.960
them what you know, what you
have. And the point was if we're

383
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:33.079
teaching our children, then they're going
to emulate what's happening in their household.

384
00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:40.839
And he said. It was interesting
because he said, I'm not just telling

385
00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:45.839
you something. I'm talking and preaching
about. God Revelation showed me this,

386
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:52.200
and him and his wife and his
two daughters were sitting and eating I don't

387
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.440
know, a lunch, dinner,
whatever it was. And the daughter came

388
00:31:57.599 --> 00:32:02.039
up and she was saying, how
you know, when I started working,

389
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.200
my parents are always tied, so
I started tathing, she said. But

390
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:14.640
I had to learn about tithing,
she said, because my young, young

391
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:20.440
mind thinking if I give, I'm
gonna get back. I'm gonna give my

392
00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:22.920
task because I'm gonna get it back, you know, she said. But

393
00:32:23.000 --> 00:32:29.799
she had to reprogram herself as she
got older, knowing what you know,

394
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:34.720
you teach them how to tide,
but at that time they don't understand why

395
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:43.960
they're tithing and what's the purpose of
the tithing. And she said, as

396
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:46.480
she started getting older, she realized, wait a minute, I think I'm

397
00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:53.759
doing it for the wrong reason because
I'm doing it expecting something back. But

398
00:32:53.920 --> 00:33:01.039
I'm planning seed and when that time
come from to receive it will come,

399
00:33:01.839 --> 00:33:07.279
it would be you know. And
it was just it was very profound.

400
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:14.400
And he said when she said that, it's just like wow, you know.

401
00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.720
But that's what she got. And
she was saying, like her mom,

402
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.119
get up. She turned on her
word just to listen to it.

403
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:27.400
She said, I find I don't
even watch TV. I've started listening to

404
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:36.839
the word mimicking what her parents do. So we have to learn how to

405
00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:44.200
set those examples for our children.
But everybody's parent is not doing that.

406
00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:50.960
Even those that are in the church
are not doing that. You got to

407
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:58.440
think about the family, like like
you said, miss Gray, they cussing

408
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:00.960
and fussing, but yet they first
ones in the church. But that's what

409
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:07.799
that child see at home, that
cousin and fusin. So what do you

410
00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:15.239
do for them? How do you
stop the vicious cycle of abuse in whatever

411
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:19.599
is going on because that's what they
see at home, and to them,

412
00:34:19.639 --> 00:34:23.679
that's a norm. That may be
abnormal to us because that's not what we

413
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:29.840
grew up with, but to them, that's normal. My daddy backslapped my

414
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:37.920
mama, My mama popped my dad
outside the head. That's normal. So

415
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:50.000
how do we get the positive proper
relationship vision and from? And movies today

416
00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:59.679
are oh my god. You know, unless it's a pure comedy, then

417
00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:04.639
you see the violence. You see
the man slap the woman. You you

418
00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:08.079
you see the action movies where the
women kicking the man button the man kicking

419
00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:14.280
her in the stomach and she flying
off. And so where where are they

420
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:21.000
gonna see the positive image? Who
are going to make those positive image movies?

421
00:35:21.280 --> 00:35:25.159
And what have you? But children
to seem, you know, and

422
00:35:25.559 --> 00:35:34.559
which white what wright? And then
you know what, I'm sorry, go

423
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.760
ahead, go ahead, I'm gonna
add this little bit to it. How

424
00:35:37.800 --> 00:35:45.039
are they gonna be How are their
mind gonna be retransformed that that should be

425
00:35:45.199 --> 00:35:52.239
normalcy and not what they see or
do now? Because with society today,

426
00:35:52.280 --> 00:36:01.199
with TV and home, that abuse
and that violence, and that's that negative

427
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:10.079
talking and that putting down and throwing
shade and all this that's normalcy. How

428
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.119
are we going to renew their mind
to change what they see? How?

429
00:36:16.559 --> 00:36:20.920
Because that's a whole lot of force
to be going. Again, I'm not

430
00:36:20.920 --> 00:36:25.000
saying it can't be done. And
I said start with one, one child

431
00:36:27.000 --> 00:36:30.639
per time, you know, one, Start with one and work your way

432
00:36:30.760 --> 00:36:35.480
up. But at the same time, just like we're saying this, Satan

433
00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:42.719
tried gonna try to gear up to
press it on even heavier. And what

434
00:36:42.880 --> 00:36:51.079
has happened? I said this long
time ago when they fought to get prayer

435
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:58.559
at the church at the school,
they opened the door that was a Pandora

436
00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:06.679
box they opened, and some of
them that fought for that probably now look

437
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:10.519
and say, wow, we should
have fought against it. When you should

438
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:16.440
have because where was your heavy hitters, evangelicals, the ones that are fighting

439
00:37:16.440 --> 00:37:22.199
around here talking about abortion. Where
were y'all when prayer was being moved out

440
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:28.599
of the school. Thank God for
the few that stuck in there and say,

441
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:31.400
you know what, despite whatever,
we'll find us an alternative way to

442
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:37.840
still keep it in because there are
those that still do. But at the

443
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:43.519
end of the day, you got
more not than you do doing. Not

444
00:37:43.679 --> 00:37:49.320
saying that they're not powerful. They
are because it keeps it to a minimum,

445
00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:53.239
because it could be so much worse. But that's what I have to

446
00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.880
say. When you move that out, you open that Pandora box and look

447
00:37:58.920 --> 00:38:04.519
at how the schools and how life
is just in a whirlwind, just like

448
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:08.519
every day that come in and go
out. It's like a middle Amen.

449
00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:15.559
And again I say when because probably
last year when we brought up International Youth

450
00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:22.360
Day and Youth Skills Day, we
were talking about the same thing. But

451
00:38:22.559 --> 00:38:24.519
if you start, when does it
start? Go ahead, tray, But

452
00:38:24.679 --> 00:38:28.880
but I think too you just looking
at some of the young people that have

453
00:38:29.559 --> 00:38:36.639
arisen. You know, the young
lady that did the poem at the inauguration,

454
00:38:37.599 --> 00:38:42.719
Um, young person you can't think
of her name, but uh,

455
00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:47.000
and then you also had the Parkland
students that took a stance against gun violence.

456
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:53.599
And then you look at um,
the young lady who's talking about she's

457
00:38:53.639 --> 00:39:00.440
not from the United States, but
she was talking about global warming. And

458
00:39:00.519 --> 00:39:05.519
so there there are a lot of
young folks that and even the movements,

459
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:09.800
you know, the demonstrations, and
I think it was a national walkout date

460
00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:15.639
they had they coordinate that. You
know, they weren't in the same states

461
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:21.280
and so they coordinated that to time
it at a certain time. I mean,

462
00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:22.880
look at that, you know,
and it's a lot of them,

463
00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:30.000
so you know, jumping on that
particular side. You know what moved them,

464
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:32.519
you know, and I guess too, probably the fear that having to

465
00:39:32.599 --> 00:39:37.280
walk into school and not walk out, you know, the same way that

466
00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:42.840
you went in. You know,
it's there are some that are definitely taking

467
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:46.119
initiatives to do better and being the
change that they would want to see in

468
00:39:46.159 --> 00:39:51.400
the world. So I don't want
to feel like I'm bashing the other stuff,

469
00:39:51.440 --> 00:39:54.079
because I know there's a lot of
negative stuff that are happening with our

470
00:39:54.159 --> 00:39:59.280
youth, but there are a lot
of positive things as well. I agree

471
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:05.360
with that, because you don't seeing
enough on the news, you don't they

472
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:12.239
but they do try to highlight the
positive they do, but it's so much

473
00:40:12.400 --> 00:40:15.840
more out there that's being done.
And just like my head is off to

474
00:40:16.679 --> 00:40:21.079
the school my daughter was going to, they had a prayer circle around the

475
00:40:21.840 --> 00:40:28.559
around out front every morning at school, around their flagpole. Every morning,

476
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.880
they had a prayer group out there. I'm not saying that it can't be

477
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:37.039
done, and it takes one person
at a time, but like miss Grace

478
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:44.679
say, when will this start?
How can this start? How can we

479
00:40:44.719 --> 00:40:52.119
start making that movement to make changes
and let people see we gotta stop if

480
00:40:52.119 --> 00:40:57.159
we're gonna survive. And it texts
I think too, Timmy and Leisure.

481
00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:00.639
It takes you know, if you're
looking at sometimes we all is looking in.

482
00:41:00.679 --> 00:41:06.000
We walk into situations and want to
find the negative. And so it

483
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:08.320
was it was a picture at teen
years ago, and it was a house,

484
00:41:08.360 --> 00:41:13.599
and it was a training tool.
You know, things were thrown all

485
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:17.960
around the house and and you had
to analyze it as a surface provider going

486
00:41:19.000 --> 00:41:23.239
into a home. And so the
charge was to what do you see here?

487
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:29.239
And so you talked about the iron
and board, the iron up and

488
00:41:29.440 --> 00:41:31.079
you got it plugged in. You
might have a child, and you saw

489
00:41:31.599 --> 00:41:36.679
where pizza boxes might have been on
the floor, clothes thrown all over the

490
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:40.559
place, but looking at it with
a different lens, so it will also

491
00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:44.000
depict it. Okay, even though
you see the iron plugged in, it

492
00:41:44.039 --> 00:41:47.599
shows that a mother's willingness to have
make sure the old person's willingness to have

493
00:41:49.119 --> 00:41:52.800
the closed iron, So appearance was
there. So the pizza boxes showed that

494
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:57.199
the child was eating even though it
was on the floor, but it was

495
00:41:57.239 --> 00:42:00.719
food being brought, you know,
it was closing. So it's going in

496
00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:06.440
with or what's wrong? Go find
the right because sometimes people struggle with with

497
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:10.239
they don't recognize their strength and sometimes
they're at their wits end and they're doing

498
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:15.599
the best that they can. And
so if you capitalize on somebody's strength.

499
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:19.719
Okay, I see that you have
your irons. Great that you want to

500
00:42:19.840 --> 00:42:22.920
your clothes, your kids clothes,
but just try to make sure your unplugged

501
00:42:22.000 --> 00:42:24.440
kids. I know, as much
as you care about your children, you

502
00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:28.159
don't want your child to be burned, you know, just kind of approach

503
00:42:28.320 --> 00:42:31.920
to the you know better than you
know. We have to stop doing things

504
00:42:31.960 --> 00:42:37.480
like that, and even like turning
the situation around because I remember when I

505
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:42.079
was living down in South Florida and
in the weed and seed area, and

506
00:42:42.360 --> 00:42:45.039
say, these were some of the
things that we talked about. Look instead

507
00:42:45.079 --> 00:42:51.760
of just down and Joe Blow,
who's doing doing drugs? You know,

508
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:53.480
selling drugs on the corner? Hey
man, let me talk to you.

509
00:42:54.199 --> 00:42:58.199
I see you out here. You
know, just this is just a general

510
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.480
conversation. Instead of being right here, Jeophardies in your life, you could

511
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:05.880
probably be a good salesman making way
more money this as a car salesman.

512
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:08.480
You know, then you're gonna write
it off. Then you start changing.

513
00:43:08.559 --> 00:43:12.599
Then you don't have to look over
your shoulder to the the police and the

514
00:43:12.679 --> 00:43:15.559
people that you're selling it to and
the people that know you selling it because

515
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:19.880
they know you're making this amount of
to just making a change. And if

516
00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.719
you talk to people like that,
you know, maybe get some thinking about

517
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:28.519
other alternatives. Even like the bully
in the school. You know what I

518
00:43:28.599 --> 00:43:31.760
see you. You you have folks
that are fear you. What if you

519
00:43:31.920 --> 00:43:37.760
put that and change your leadership style
where they look up to you and you

520
00:43:37.840 --> 00:43:40.119
can lead them in a different way. Or maybe you can be the best

521
00:43:40.199 --> 00:43:45.039
friend to the little boy over here
that has no friends, you know what

522
00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:47.559
I mean, and be their protected. So it's the way you twist it

523
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:52.480
and turn it, not saying you
know, in a perfect world that would

524
00:43:52.480 --> 00:43:58.320
happen, but you're never know until
you try, because everybody's going through something.

525
00:43:58.639 --> 00:44:00.559
You know, maybe the bully has
an issue at his house. He

526
00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:05.079
doesn't eat, you know, maybe
there's no food, maybe the father goes

527
00:44:05.159 --> 00:44:07.599
upside his mother said, or vice
versa. You know, we don't know

528
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:13.400
until you just kind of separate them
from the crowd and just have that one

529
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:16.000
on one because sometimes when you got
other influences while you're trying to talk to

530
00:44:16.119 --> 00:44:20.760
that one, they're not gonna be
But I'm pretty sure you do some quiet

531
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.559
a head. Let me just talk
to you out and I noticed this,

532
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:25.280
you know, just kind of give
him some affirmation, love him up,

533
00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:29.239
dap him up, or whatever,
SA if you need anything. You know

534
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:35.599
what my office is. You know
what you say is so true, and

535
00:44:36.840 --> 00:44:45.400
that is a great approach to go
towards anyone because my take is, because

536
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:51.599
that child's acting up, you don't
know his story. You don't know what's

537
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:57.519
going on behind his closed doors.
Like we said, he want to escape,

538
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:04.199
but where do I go? Who
do I have a lot of kids

539
00:45:04.679 --> 00:45:08.679
be at the Boys and Glorious Club
where they can possibly get a meal,

540
00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:15.599
they can be a child, have
fun and laugh, because when I go

541
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:22.559
home, it's not that way.
So I agree with you. You go

542
00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:34.519
at a person with the positive image, and I would almost guaranteed that have.

543
00:45:34.800 --> 00:45:38.880
For the guys that are in prison
today, I'm gonna say half.

544
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:45.280
I ain't gonna say all, but
have if they had somebody to be positive,

545
00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:52.000
to be taught positive things in their
ear or unfortunate they lost their mother

546
00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:58.119
who was their strength, and I
don't have nobody else to depend on.

547
00:45:58.800 --> 00:46:05.559
So the streets came, my friend, because what we fail to realize.

548
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:13.199
Those gangs, they they do the
wrong thing, but they understood, They

549
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:22.679
understand family and being there for each
other. It's literally a brother really,

550
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:30.639
but it's just they unfortunately go at
it a negative way. You know,

551
00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:37.000
they want to take what they feel
they deserve and it's not right. But

552
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:43.519
if you look at their whole gamut, they look out for each other.

553
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:50.360
They certainly they fight tooth and nail. Yeah, they share there. They

554
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:53.039
don't judge each other out here on
these streets, we're all out here doing

555
00:46:53.119 --> 00:46:59.039
this or whatever. So you're doing
together. Unfortunate. Now if they find

556
00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:02.000
out you snid, then then then
it turns that's a whole different story.

557
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:06.639
That's a whole different story. Yeah, but definitely. But for the most

558
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:09.840
part, when you get in it, that's what they're about. It's family

559
00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.519
to them, that is, to
the family better than the family that gave

560
00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:20.920
them birth and brought them in this
world. Yeah. But you know,

561
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:25.320
I'm like, miss miss Gray,
what can we start or what can we

562
00:47:25.639 --> 00:47:34.000
say? What affirmations we can put
out there to change the thought pattern?

563
00:47:35.480 --> 00:47:39.679
Well, I can start by saying
prayer change yes, yes, And when

564
00:47:39.719 --> 00:47:45.280
the Bible said were a threefold chord
is not easily broken. If I could

565
00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.880
get three people to pray along,
I've done this before, we've done this

566
00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:53.519
before. But three people all this
need you praying. You take one hour,

567
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:55.639
I take the next hour, You
take the next hour. Both.

568
00:47:55.840 --> 00:48:00.480
Let's cover twenty four hours and we
prayer, prayer point, we prayer whatever

569
00:48:00.639 --> 00:48:07.320
is on our minds that time.
Yeah. Amen. And somebody I was

570
00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:12.639
listening to say we need to go
into an aggressive prayer. Yeah, and

571
00:48:13.000 --> 00:48:15.800
be very strategic and specific about it, you know. And I thank you

572
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.840
for what you said. Trey.
I'm not and I pray I'm sorry that

573
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.679
I come on. I may come
on a little too strong or loop in

574
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:30.320
my approach, but it's it's I
know what's coming. There's something coming that

575
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:36.800
we even God's telling his people brace
yourself, yourself. He's telling us to

576
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:39.800
brace ourselves. So I can even
imagine those who are out there and lost.

577
00:48:39.960 --> 00:48:44.000
I know, we only got one
more minute here. We're gonna sign

578
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.480
off and then we'll pick this back
up next week. We are concerned,

579
00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:52.239
we are caring. We're not trying
to I'm not pointing figures at anybody,

580
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:54.719
but I just like to know win. Can we started? When the Can

581
00:48:54.840 --> 00:48:58.199
we start? If you start over
there and I start over here and I

582
00:48:58.280 --> 00:49:04.400
started she started. There's three sections
of the world that people are getting things

583
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:07.519
started, and it's about win.
But anyway, that's our time for this

584
00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:12.320
evening. Evening at time just flew
blot by one minute. I'm looking at

585
00:49:12.360 --> 00:49:16.559
seven fifteen. Next thing, I
know, seven forty five, So good

586
00:49:16.679 --> 00:49:20.360
Google goople. I can't even get
it, you know, but this is

587
00:49:20.400 --> 00:49:23.920
what we do. We're trying to
set it straight. Bring out these issues.

588
00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:28.119
Let you hear them. But we're
gonna do it next week, same

589
00:49:28.199 --> 00:50:00.639
time, same station. Y'all be
blessed. Take care now, wh
