2:01
Will you well, good evening and thank you for joining me for another episode
2:43
of Let's Talk About It on tonight. We're actually want to travel to the
2:49
great state of Texas. I don't know if it's that great, but that's
2:53
where we're born today to talk to the Derek who's currently incarcerated in Texas over
3:05
sentenced. So let's before I bring him in, I would just like to
3:12
make do a couple of housekeeping. When I speak to men or women,
3:23
I'm using my voice and I'm giving them a platform to get their cases out
3:29
there, so everyone can know it's not a black thing, is not a
3:34
white thing, it's not a brown thing. Because we know that all ethnic
3:39
groups have someone that is currently wrongfully convicted, are over sentenced in prison.
3:47
But we have to face the facts. The majority of over sentenced and wrongfully
3:53
convicted are the men of color, are African Americans and men. Satistics shows
4:02
it, so it's not a race thing. I do talk to other ethnic
4:12
groups when they allowed me to talk to to speak to them, but mainly
4:17
I've been talking to the men from men African American men. So right now,
4:30
offense to Brian and La Derek, he's going to introduce hisself and we're
4:33
want to talk. Welcome to Derek. Uhhait directed the Kendrick h Kendrick.
4:46
I'm so sorry. I do I do apologize, go ahead, uh uh
4:57
And the George thing uh in my life it's important. But the thing,
5:04
you know, Foka point it, I just don't want to sound in much
5:08
detail upon my heat. I really don't want to share the ingested that in
5:12
general America. You know, you said it's not a racist thing, but
5:16
also you know America is built on a racial barriers. But we have to
5:21
look at that. You know that everybody is equal, you know, parts
5:26
white, black, brown as you know, without agency. You know what
5:29
I'm saying, So you know exactly and that's what you know, we get
5:35
a lot of people saying that, you know, it's a race thing that
5:44
you know, we always bring up. It's mainly black men. That's what
5:50
the sin. The statistics is showing that the black men and women are the
5:57
ones that are wrong. We condicted and and over sentence. You know,
6:06
it's not us saying it. All you have to do is do your research,
6:12
google it. The Innocent Project is putting it out there, so you
6:17
know, let's not make this about a race thing. We know, we
6:21
understand that there's a lot of race people from other ethnic groups that are currently
6:28
in the same situation. So okay, the Kendrick I got it right.
6:36
Let's go ahead, let's go ahead and talk. Well, like you said,
6:43
you know, uh, depends on everybody in general America and justice apart
6:47
America. Things. It's been a property. You know. You have all
6:50
these people that you just see the organizations and people try to make, you
6:57
know, things that aren't making to try to come back. The interest is
7:00
going around the system, and it's so bad that you've got the president like
7:04
Trump, you know what I'm saying. He was, uh, get accounts,
7:09
you know what I'm saying. But now it happened to the bluing.
7:14
You know, the people up there had money, the people that you know,
7:17
the class and the law plays. You know, we had work.
7:20
Now we happen to them if they now be exposed. So if you're exposed
7:26
it now on that on that level, then you have him coming and say
7:30
he said, oh, well judge from this and beIN with this atroxicuity,
7:32
you know what I'm saying. So with their said that it's just that was
7:36
done. Now he's exposed. Let me know that the things are going on
7:41
right now, that's going on in America, So now the time, you
7:44
know what I'm saying. So nothing that I want get red become a problems,
7:49
you know what I'm saying. But like I said, a lot of
7:51
things too. When the President speak on reform, homs and judgment America,
7:57
I mean they forget that mistake they let up in here at the same town
8:01
of little situations, got got a triggered down the ladder. So anything America
8:07
across intended president for resormes like that they played for a federal So really the
8:13
fact with the federal involutions, and I think it is men and women on
8:20
the state level we need we need that. What we need somebody at the
8:22
back of it here, you know what I'm saying. And when you come
8:26
to these issues, and it was called over standings, and we need the
8:30
other standards. And you're a free example. And I'm not gonna, like
8:35
I said, we're not gonna prosta right and the thing. But if if
8:37
people look Coup, it was a guy that Heathen kelps that he down there
8:41
and in Texas and before where there can't count are you and he was part
8:46
of a flooring family where he had where he was trying to drinking and driving
8:52
you know, uh, you know, feeling what you want to do because
8:54
this camera had money. So we end up there like some people, you
8:56
know, like several others where it standing end up paying out from people that
9:01
live and people that die, you know, they you know, it was
9:05
pushed untape, end up getting put based, you know what I'm saying.
9:07
Where with that it was the daughter of a GM do for this company where
9:15
she wrote a book, you know what I'm saying. She was she was
9:18
making to think that if you had money, you know right and wrong.
9:24
H So in my mind, I'm like, okay, well, well what
9:26
if you want you don't know everything? You know, you know, so
9:31
what if we don't know the difference works wrong. But at the same time
9:35
and then at the same time, she had presented it's stun sing that her
9:41
foot in testimony and an expert testimon for a couple of windows that like the
9:46
direct the testimony to come through that were acting in fight. Okay, now
9:52
let's go on the flip side, because these times people are coming out of
9:54
over that time too much. But if you go on the side where my
9:58
case, uh uh I was I was appointed a psychiatrist, you know,
10:03
and interview reached and he did the sweet ye road saying practice and now several
10:09
more tests and yeah, you might be halfing the hos his orders, you
10:15
know, and out saying that up on the top, which would killed and
10:18
negate the fact that intentionally non and doing anything you know to insicate that fact.
10:24
Okay, Well if they allowed his testimony, in course he showed them
10:28
that it wasn't here to say why they didn't allow his testimony that they tried
10:33
to say, well, I'll be blacked out. I didn't have any testimony
10:37
to give anybody to give that body. So there by the black lot that
10:43
told so he wasn't gonna get up on staying tell him what I could tell
10:48
them saying out the case in general. He's just gonna give them the just
10:54
the things that were going on of his evaluation, and that the Jersey desire
10:58
whether you know, did I that out or suffer from this disorder? Well,
11:01
because you know what black man just becase generally they you know, have
11:07
and what is put on back then when I was locked up, you know,
11:09
I was locked up in nineteen so this was a big issues that you
11:13
know about that. So you know so that you know just one thing I'm
11:18
saying, I'm saying, but you know, so you know, do they
11:24
allow do they allow the men that are the Did they ask you did you
11:35
want to take a stand in your in your defense? Or how how did
11:41
that times? The time here said that once you don't say you're gonna need
11:48
yourself, you know, thinks gonna gona life. And the man you just
11:54
sing, I'm doing a chance you staying. I have learned in fiunt of
12:00
that grew and developed of an understanding of life. I could get up to
12:05
understand being and picking my pict foot. I was told not to just like
12:11
a fact. Uh, let'sten, let's just say this. The dytment I
12:15
had had a meaning to the dyking you know. Yeah, I asked my
12:18
mother. I said, uh, it's just gonna help you hurt. He
12:20
said, hey, man, it's still lift me. I go read him
12:24
when I'm in the indicting. So when he did that kind of lead on
12:28
from years. As I come down in prison, I had the judgement and
12:31
kind of pop my foot and say, you know what, man, you
12:33
gonna sit right boy in my side trying to figure out what's do. So
12:37
what I had to deal was, I said, I'm learning and stuff to
12:41
what I found out that what they got many they got minute or pick them
12:46
k Well there's too many. Think that's something serious, you know what I'm
12:48
saying. So you know he would object to that. That tip would been
12:54
throwed out in general. But the Dank years, I had two in dykings
12:56
at first for you know. So they come back then endiculously and they find
13:03
that rap indict take the captain murder to Canter murder to the character point and
13:13
uh character five a man of life. So they was gonna use that in
13:18
course to you know, take the so you you know, you're you're not
13:26
the only one that I heard that from. You know that they do offer
13:33
them the to get up to testify on their behalf, you know, to
13:39
to speak on their behalf. But then they the their defense attorney would tell
13:48
them, well, no, maybe just sit this out then we go auhead
13:54
with the jury. Then go with you know, let the jury decide.
13:58
Just you know, cut your part out. I have talked in my cup
14:01
in my husband case, you know, he didn't testify on his behalf because
14:05
that's what the that's what he was advised against not to get you know,
14:11
just let the jury. Let it play out with the jury. And another
14:16
person I heard that from, so you know, to me, it's just
14:20
it's like they pick and choose to To me, this is my opinion that
14:28
they pick and choose who are they know who to tell them to sit back
14:35
now, don't get up on the stand because they need that, they need
14:39
that conviction. And then they see that you guys don't have a jury of
14:46
your peers. I also talk to men, especially African American men, they
14:52
do not have a jury of their peers. What about your jury? How
15:00
was your jury? Well, when we had pictures, you know, uh,
15:05
a lot of a lot of these people that were going that as I
15:09
can remember that a lot of them was like, hey man, I can't
15:13
judge anybody. I can't do this. And uh then was the one that
15:18
they wanted, you know, and they asked question like what somebody didn't family
15:22
remember it's to be like okay, and then paint the picture made them,
15:28
you know, the top of their heads, so they white, you know
15:33
what I'm saying. And I only had one black and my children, so
15:37
I mean that way you know, but a lot of people have to understand.
15:43
We don't comput the times in the in the world, you know,
15:46
in America, and we have something how oldrust hand attorney out here about you
15:56
have so much next for attorney because I said, I have enough statement apartment
16:00
of turn, and I told his own record where they have for me for
16:04
that hour to the points of that attornment. Well, I was dyking and
16:08
I didn't stood a ton of messages. I had no turn, you know
16:15
anything about the dyke I was sitting. I was left for the inside the
16:18
town where there was snow and turning. And then I reconducted on the bi
16:22
paragraphic count that I said, and I still had no turn. And it
16:26
shows what we have a doctor sheet. It shows that everything that should caught
16:30
on my doctor seat, it does not showed some originally, it just showed
16:33
the recognie and it shows that my attainment was point like three or four days
16:37
later, you know. So when I tell you to scratch your pactice came
16:42
it comes to the part where and the day went fifect council on itself,
16:48
and that didn't come to interest in this. He was ht frown with my
16:52
trial atturn it's my director building and he was my So let's do the math.
17:00
I don't act to the conflicting. So somebody's grabbed somebody the fact that
17:03
because keep sure not gonna I have and I have a bunch of stuff,
17:07
but I just I don't have time to bring everything. Because that's right,
17:11
keep in mind the thounning. But I mean, we got to look at
17:15
it like that. He is not gonna time ineffect the system capital that's just
17:22
like telling tell the judge that I was wrong, but they you know,
17:26
they're gonna be playing. Man. It's not you know, saying enough.
17:30
You know you're not enough, you know. So I mean that's moved working
17:34
against it. And if uh, it's just the system broke, you know.
17:37
So, I mean it could consist of the deep people that have,
17:42
you know, the hearts of minds that really want to help people, you
17:45
know what I'm saying, And it's really a crimbles out there, you know.
17:49
So I learned I don't over time, but you gotta get a staying
17:52
over here. Some people change, you know, right, you guys,
17:56
you gotta look at it that right, And then the laws also change changed
18:03
too, and some of the laws is not being are not retroactive for the
18:10
ones that already been sentenced are convicted of certain sudden crimes, which I don't
18:18
think is fair. I believe that if you're gonna do rewrite legislators, laws
18:27
and stuff, that it should go for everyone should be included everyone. It
18:34
should be for everyone, not just certain people. Right. I have a
18:41
question, uh for you, was your lawyer a former d a private lawyer
18:48
or associated with the judge campaign fund? I'm pretty sure it's uh your they
19:00
want to turning to get take office stuff. I mean, most people,
19:04
if they pay great amounts I'm sign them, they're more inclined to you know,
19:11
to represent them. But then when they have to do stuff off the
19:14
books or the state, you know, and get playing us of the mount.
19:18
I mean that through the maths main gone. He ain't gonna put too
19:22
much effort. And like I said, uh, come, come flavor to
19:26
each other. You got to you know, it's it's it's just a system
19:32
where it's just about if if just high falls. You know what I'm saying,
19:36
because you was left the same. Like in my case, I got
19:40
his life. And of course there was two people that was an engine never
19:44
shot, but no one that, you know. And I'm looking at cases
19:47
where these days on the news we got the yester they carried around them automatic
19:52
white folks and stuff like that, and they just flyed out out there.
19:56
Man, they just slap on the wrists. I haven't seen what to do
20:00
to do down inside of school. How it shot people, you know,
20:03
and that now that people that you've got ten years so patient, you know,
20:11
but they got they sentenced you, uh, they sentenced you to life.
20:18
Right, That's why that's already when I said my finds disproportion because thinking
20:22
of the right for people when you say up the legislature, according to my
20:26
charge of statue and atone and in the senition we top later on, I
20:32
can expired. But according to the legislator of how my statue was reading murderers.
20:40
So how how how did that add up to be then mass ten compared
20:45
to atendant or or h group of uh you know the sayings that nat of
20:52
keeping doing mad things, of killing people, you know by now that stuff
20:57
that you know, I'm saying, what what different? So the indictiveness of
21:03
the propecution, right, So I mean, it's it's it's it's it's to
21:08
explore, you know, right, you help the state get his conviction.
21:18
You got a question his association, Well, I have a question for you.
21:22
Can you repeat the question for me? So with that, do he
21:29
feel that his attorney helped to state secure his conviction? They stop on his
21:33
association with the just donation campaign, with the Just the Attorney's campaign. Do
21:38
he feel that he was sold out by his attorney? Did you hear that
21:45
I just heard by the campaign? Quite? If you do you okay,
21:56
I'm gonna just paraphrase. Do you feel that you were sold out by your
22:00
by your lawyer? Yes? Man, I'm told you because it's it's like
22:06
I said, with this nown on my case to sever and several like it
22:10
shows you what you should have objected, you know and see me and just
22:15
like the type and uh maybe have a dyke you should have been there,
22:18
you know and web prostitutors prosecutors deal would perfect you. When you will charge
22:25
the statue, you have to have everything that completely okay in my case,
22:32
to to even have a capital burger, even have something to have the top
22:36
of the term onuse. It's just the term capital. You know. You
22:40
gotta have a thing be one and that's a burger. You know something they
22:44
have Chace wa say hey, say hey, you mean you gotta come up
22:48
so cobar gotta so do you got to have a crew of more people even
22:52
get your burger or it's in criminal transaction. Okay, well they got part
22:59
which is to say a passion where this uh more than one person doing the
23:03
same thing transaction they you know, and you have uh uh uh person uh
23:12
the same ob in case what such he even said, he was like it
23:18
was it was five people that will shot or die. They used the same
23:21
body to put these people that live to make attempt of capital murder. So
23:26
people saying anything there you can't use that same body. But at the same
23:32
time, if that was actually me in his charge and that was not actually
23:34
means allow you to adjective for the sense of this right here, okay,
23:40
in the same sense it case you produced the same to bodies that didn't die
23:42
in charge of a timp the cantil murder to that users that dead body just
23:47
do what I'm saying. But he's people in the dead body to get the
23:49
tempted to the murder to their shoulders like that. But they ain't got there.
23:56
You can't say there's no such thing attempted cantil murder, you know,
23:57
and he play but he used that. They used the chimp said you want
24:03
him, So of course said hey man, let's say so there's nowhere in
24:08
our in our sisters. He said, we cannot in attempt to any day.
24:12
So that's how they got he was in the right Christian. He allowed
24:18
him. He didn't have to get him. You know what I'm saying.
24:22
So they him, would you be here? Vast quote? And I'm saying,
24:32
can we have another question? Go ahead? Oh? So did his
24:40
lawyer not raise a bathroom versus Kentucky here and in the capital case where here
24:45
it is he's allowed this guy to be convicted by a jury with one from
24:48
African American on it. Why did his lawyer raise the Batsom versus in Kentucky
24:52
plane to show that the disc attorney's offer and his lawyer was then by us
24:56
in rational by allowing him to be executed. It a jury not a good
25:02
period one African American, not a jury a part section of the community.
25:07
So why his lawyer didn't follow a face of PERSENTACTI? And why come he
25:11
didn't object to that? Well that, I mean, I heard everything you
25:17
said that goes back there. When when I said, that's that straight sure,
25:22
you know what I'm saying, it was all a blood you didn't understanding,
25:26
like he's no power interfect his cause. So he was set up where
25:32
I, except for another lawyer was appointed for my family had the means to
25:36
get another lawyer. And he gets then he would be he can do his
25:41
tack if he get in there after rictinell feel in my PDR term. So
25:48
all of all and then what they what they typed up y'all don't know.
25:52
We know, we're not language of the road. We don't know anything.
25:56
So we come down here and get lost in the shift. And once we
25:59
figured out how, it's too late, and then we got itself to hoops
26:03
and whose justice and trying to fire the keys that's in the Aery books,
26:07
you know what I'm saying, to try to find a fret keyhole open the
26:10
door. You know, they put a lot of pressure on us, ask
26:15
me and and women in the justicistans to be to do adopted it in guy's
26:19
for years, should agree on and we're supposed to know every little piece of
26:25
loss and he you know, he a caliber instead of that they supposed to
26:30
you don't want to repea so of course I feel that that wom so and
26:37
challenging your conviction. And challenging your conviction, why come you never raise an
26:42
effective asistance of counsel a prosecuted and conduct abuse of the expression of the child
26:48
courts? Because in your county, y'all have the manual where African Americans are
26:52
not allowed to sit on jurys of the African American So you should have raised
26:56
that as a conflict of penterest. Are you familiar with Dallas being the number
27:00
one town in the state of Texas and African American jury's are not allowed to
27:04
sit on the jury? All familiar? And I did my little one sets
27:11
back in two thousand and seven, and I was still linking to the laws
27:14
and heal back then, I feel any and the things I fired, I
27:18
fired twenty something things, man, And the more I learned the loss I
27:22
look back on what I filed and I seen you that, Hey, man,
27:23
I'm doing the right track, but I had the wrong word. Do
27:26
you understand what I'm saying? Not? There's no things I honestly go out
27:30
of school with you know what I'm saying. So I had my sight at
27:36
the TG costs right now in tess can b and I have everything I need
27:38
to see, but I don't have the right representation. Was CROs name did
27:44
you did with prose? You know? Because I put a lot of things
27:47
in court and I have a lot to court, right, they still have
27:49
to be back home, you know. So I'm trying to figure why because
27:56
they know that they have a point, right and you know what you're You're
28:02
not the only one that I'm hearing this room again. I talked to the
28:07
men in Denver, and the same thing that's going on in Texas is going
28:14
on in Denver. You know, they've been over sentence, they've been sacked
28:18
America, they've been stacked with you with with enhancements and crimes that like mister
28:29
Kemp in his case, he's serving one hundred and I believe one hundred and
28:34
ninety some years, but he got he's eligible for parole in his case.
28:41
Come to find out, one more in depths. In his case he was
28:47
actually was supposed to serve only six years and he's been being incarcerated over twenty
28:53
some years. Okay, well you know and talk like that, so you

30:40

30:52
Yes, ma'am man, it's a pretty good text message for me and the
30:53

30:57
Okay, thank you, thank you so much. I really appreciate you on
31:06
the first lady. I really appreciate you on the first lady, I really
31:12
do. And I thank you guys well. I really enjoyed our conversation on
31:22
this evening with King. Yes. Yes, and just to hear that this
31:32
is happening all over all over over centiousness, something that you know they should
31:38
be doing, like two or three years on. They actually add more enhancements.
31:45
They saying they can testify on their behalf, then they advise against it,
31:52
then they don't have a jury of their peers. And then they come
31:56
with laws showing a state that this, hey, this is with the law
32:00
state, and they still get denied in the court because they pro say so,
32:07
you tell me, when a family pay for resent representation on their behalf,
32:16
they're gonna go to the courts with the same law that they have written
32:23
to the courts pro sae. And nine times out of ten, by them
32:29
paying at least twenty thousand dollars, they gonna get set free. It's all
32:38
about a money thing. Once again, I cannot push this enough. We
32:49
are in voting season. This is election season. Get to know your state
32:58
representative and where they staying with these laws. Get to know these senators.
33:06
Just don't go up to that pole and put anybody in there, because look,
33:12
look what's happening. Now, look what's happening. We have to be
33:19
a voice for our grandchildren and our great grandchildren's, the ones that's coming be
33:25
coming after us. We have to be their voicething. Go ahead, first,
33:36
lady, you hear me? Can I say so? I want to
33:39
say something, because yes I can. It's not that yet. It's not
33:45
that people are going up and just voting any kind of way is that they're
33:52
not voting at all. Because when you can have counting that are turning out
33:58
single digits, single digit means that under ten people are showing up to vote.
34:07
And that is sad, and that is happening all over the United States.
34:10
Why because of how they how they how they how they section off these
34:17
districts. They section off these districts, and then these people sit in they
34:22
divoting you. You you got all these projects in one's own one district,
34:29
full of projects full of people that they know ain't for the vote. So
34:31
then of course you may have nine elderly people in that area, and they
34:37
may go for the pole. They have people that work the poles, that
34:40
sit in these poles and say they're showing up. They can count on on
34:46
on on one hand, how many people of of of our race show up.
34:54
Patrice right here, she worked at the polling place in South Carolina,
35:00
in Charleston, South Carolina, and she say they are not voting period.
35:07
She say the precincts. I work in an eight hours state. Only forty
35:14
two people came in and voted. And that's what's happenings happening all over the
35:20
It's it's it's we we We heard this in Texas, the very state that
35:25
we're talking about now. We heard nine people in a in a county that
35:31
has hundreds of thousands of people. How how is these people not turning out
35:37
the vote? I don't understand. How have we because you know to where
35:45
we I believe that I heard it before that they believe that they votes don't
35:52
count. That's that's how the reason why I think they're not turning How can
36:00
we get that complacent? When we voted, when we showed up to the
36:05
polls, when we voted, we saw action. But of course if you
36:09
sit and you do nothing. How can you expect for something to happen when
36:14
nothing is when you're doing nothing. You can't expect something to happen when you're
36:19
doing absolutely nothing. And then you can't keep doing the same thing and then
36:23
feel like it's gonna be the same thing. So this is Patrisa said.
36:30
And the five or ten were black African Americans and only one younger than me.
36:37
She said, all seats are up for grabs, Like that's crazy,
36:43
Like these people don't even vote. Yeah, okay, it has been announced.
36:52
We're five to one on African American when criminal justice system, probation and
36:55
paroles. Okay, here we have about a good fifteen twenty percent of African
37:01
Americans sitting in the Texas capitals. Okay, as state representatives and Texas senators.
37:07
Okay. Every year for the past two decades, we have witnessed that
37:13
Texas is not passing any laws to help trider to reform the Texas criminal justice
37:17
system. Our system is out of control. Why because they refuse fast laws
37:23
that would help juveniles get past these rife, capital rife sentences to be able
37:28
to get these sentences reformed to where they would they would make sense. Now
37:32
the average juvenile is getting a forty year sentence where they have to do twenty
37:37
years flat, time flat. When they used to be that if you get
37:40
twenty years, you do two years in eighteen days. So our system and
37:45
our state representatives are actually making the system worser than it is even after American
37:51
state repids, making them system even more worse than it is than when we
37:55
have people voting. So if we're voting for these people going in, they're
37:59
doing the same thing, allowing these people to kick the avend road two years
38:04
after two years after two years. So people are getting tired of voting for
38:07
these people. You know what I'm saying, Knowing that people are allowing our
38:09
system to stay broken. Looking out the roll boards system, look at TDC,
38:15
what's the criminal justice system? Judges paying lawyers by signing them all these
38:19
energy defense cases to represent African Americans, assistant das represent the African American and
38:24
allowing that man to go to an all white jury trial. This is the
38:29
tech. They call it, the judge donation campaign, the DA favoritism,
38:32
the court point of attorney double billing, the grand jury racketeering, the racial
38:37
jurymans conduct the evidence Diition's candle. All these operations is what got our system
38:43
at massive crosspiration and especially African Americans. So people can vote, but the
38:49
people that will be voting in other people, we need to vote out now.
38:52
So that's where I'm at, because they just announced on TV that we
38:55
fired a one on Africans Americans being in corporate in TDC Man. So it's
39:00
the people that we need to vote out. And that's why I say they
39:07
need to get to know. Let you know the representative who's represented. That's
39:14
why you gotta be involved in your community. You gotta know what's going on.
39:17
You got to turn out to these meetings. You got to go to
39:21
your city council meeting. You gotta find out. Because see, let me
39:23
tell you something. There's a guy and he's been on the show a couple
39:27
of times, and y'all can go back and here y'all go back and hear
39:30
him Troy read out of North Carolina, Elizabeth City, North Carolina area.
39:36
They these people got tired, they got tired of what was going on in
39:39
their city and they said enough was enough. They voted they mayor out.
39:44
They got the new police of chief, everybody that they said needed to be
39:49
out of there. They got them out of there, They got their whole
39:52
city turned around, and these people got up off their butt and they said
39:55
enough was enough. And that's what it's gonna take. People got to say
40:00
enough is enough and it's time for change. Okay, these seats are open,
40:04
then what's stopping people from going and getting in these seats? Qualified people?
40:08
We won't, we won't step up and do something because what we are
40:13
afraid. We got afraid of failing. No more. And I'm saying it
40:16
because people need to get it in they head. You can be successful if
40:21
you want it. If you want it, you got to be able to
40:24
see it. You got to see it. Anything that you're believing and won't
40:29
right now, you gotta be able to see that. You got to visualize
40:32
it so it can come. But we won't do it. We won't do
40:37
it. We don't want to. We don't we don't want to to take
40:42
a chance and go out here and and and and better ourselves. Now,
40:45
we got to think about the betterment of this whole country. This this this
40:52
whole system. It's broke and it has to be fit. It's not just
40:55
Texas, it's not just Colorado. Because you think about Alabama, you think
41:00
about Mississippi, you think about a lot of these places. But then you
41:06
just focused on who is affected. We know who is affected. And we
41:09
ain't even got to say it's a racial thing, but we know. And
41:14
and everybody that follows this and see this, they got to see it too.
41:19
We're not blind. We see what's going on, been seeing what's going
41:22
on. But now that we see what's going on, and and and and
41:27
we have identified these things, then why ain't these people being held accountable?
41:32
That's That's that's what I'm talking about. We don't we don't put name to
41:36
all these different corruptions. He he just went Cornell just went through a whole
41:39
list of corruption in the state of Texas. If they can be identified,
41:44
then why can't these people be prosecuted? Why? Because we can uphold Trump.
41:49
We can uphold this man that has been convicted of thirty four feelings.
41:53
We can uphold this. We can we can allow him to walk in the
41:58
biggest office. People rounding around and murder beach with all these flags on the
42:01
back of their trucks and on the back of their cars with Trump on it,
42:06
and make America great again. That's what you're doing around him. Because
42:10
these people believe in that frog, They believe in that that man. What
42:16
set that man apart from all of these people that are wrongfully and overly incarcerated?
42:23
Why these people got to be given lifesas when this man should be thirty
42:29
four famonies, he should be locked up in the and on a doubt going
42:39
debate, debaate, and and and and man, this is the sick world
42:45
that we living in. This is the city sick world that we're living in.
42:50
Because these are the people. These are the people that are around us.
42:54
And then you got you got people that look just like us. You
42:58
have you you like people that look just like us that support this man too.
43:04
