- 2:53I have one of our favorite, yes, our favorite g that's one of
- 3:00our favorite guns, has always stopping by and dropping some nuggets and dropping some
- 3:05things. So if you would briefly introduce yourself for those that may not know
- 3:09you may for those that make the first time, let them know who you
- 3:14are and where you are. And I'm on the John Comedy No going on
- 3:37in prison here on com and it's always never never born places. I'll tell
- 3:44you that what without a doubt, but kill the shortage of the staff happening
- 3:51around it on this on this Okay, go on to so so talk about
- 4:12something. Can we talk about something? Because there was a conversation that was
- 4:16being had. I'm in a couple of groups on media and there are a
- 4:24couple of groups that particular prison systems. So there is a group t d
- 4:30c J and there's a group that is specifically for loved ones of individuals inside
- 4:35of the Colony unit. So I go over there, I get a notification.
- 4:40I go inside of the group and there's some young ladies in there talking
- 4:44about a guy that was killed. So the young lady just posted she said
- 4:48someone was murdered last night, but I know it wasn't last night. It
- 4:54was Mexico. Correct, someone was murdered. And there was a I mean
- 5:01it was a heated conversation because some of these people are like, well do
- 5:05you and said and they were just asking out these question the fact that this
- 5:10is happening. It should not be happening. But if you would share about
- 5:16some incidents that you know that have happened inside of TDCJ in the Connolly Union.
- 5:24Because I have been reaching out out to people, I have been reaching
- 5:30out to people. I have been telling people what's been going on inside this
- 5:32prison, to telling people that about the older, overcrowdedness or shorter staff,
- 5:39about how they are allowing individuals to that are not mental health specialists to regular
- 5:47inmates to sit with those inmates that are on suicidal watch and those that are
- 5:54having a mental health crisis, and they are allowing these so called life coaches
- 5:59go around and try to talk these people down. And these people are not
- 6:03certified, they are not mental health edualists. And I just want you to
- 6:08touch on all that you can touch on before seven thirty, because you know,
- 6:14we have a show tonight, so I'm gonna have to jump off,
- 6:16but at seven thirty we can talk to seven thirty. So out that you
- 6:19can share. I want you to share because the people need to know what's
- 6:25going on behind these prison walls. So the floor shows what h right now
- 6:42President in a while and adamic type took away in a negative right now right
- 6:54now the game and uh that's baby we h. The hustle So the hustle
- 7:02and the Prinson is just not just just the same. And it's on the
- 7:05streets, uh, people trying to get trying to get the bag. So
- 7:10and it's fun that you got uh in order to do house Uh be getting
- 7:17it from the guards because you know you gotta have what you call the few.
- 7:21The fuel is the guard. The guard is gonna bring the part into
- 7:25the prison because you know it's gotta come from the outside. So so that
- 7:32is one of the main issues. Uh it's the drug. Yes, you
- 7:42got that needs to dress behind the dress when you got from one and grade
- 7:46that. And then religion to the inmates, it's gonna be highly right and
- 7:53right. You can't how they go buy they are they for on lie uh
- 8:01dis the brain? They spread on pain and then he so a sheet a
- 8:09sheet of the cake two just just gonna they're gonna it's no it can so
- 8:16how much it got over what they're gonna do just selling for getting from five
- 8:20hundred dollars to a thousand dollars. Then you got the cell phone set up
- 8:24phone use so it's gonna be yuh anywhere on the union. The Muhammad is
- 8:30still upon that got on the union. Just get it can get you anywhere
- 8:33from eight hundred over two thousand dollars. So we think out somebody it's some
- 8:39streets. Don't buy it from whatever they're doing. And then here, of
- 8:45course it is just by the means because it means there's money. So if
- 8:50you got somebody that prays in it just doesn't know all that two thousand dollars
- 8:56a fou twenty thousand dollars just made. So if you put hundreds there,
- 9:00all you see what I'm saying. So it's the money. But you can't
- 9:03do is tell them he spread the fi dollars four thousand dollars shield. It's
- 9:11gonna do what he's gonna do. So is it's it's always gonna feel about

- 13:20I'm feelt so bad from g watching the ain't nobody's trying to go away and
- 13:28stop, so I'm not telling them he did the difference. He could be
- 13:45ye get them and didn't want to do it. So they wrecked them up.
- 13:52And then I want, I want where they want to black people up?
- 13:56But this is this is crazy what I want. Spanish guys, they
- 14:01did not. That's with the young of their property. One more predominant Spanish
- 14:05Jim. They gave them all the property, but all the black guys,
- 14:11all these shoes if you are all they free romans up, the fensivembers and
- 14:16stuff. They they destroyed the ridio and they didn't give them nothing that prom
- 14:22and so they get locked. But they don't have none any property. But
- 14:28everybody else doctor prop he is then they instigated and that's the one. And
- 14:33then I see people getting head fame. Yeah, that that that was here.
- 14:41From my understanding, that was something that just happened here recently, like
- 14:45a couple of days ago. Hill Field and get got killed. You yeah,
- 14:58uh at the time, but I'm gonna so it happened before Jesus had
- 15:07and it wasn't both been out back then happen and the chief four G five
- 15:11and they're not be mixing. They level like that the whole and the on
- 15:20the floor of this. You can have any come, you know, just
- 15:24always, which you can't have somebody just over there just just doing a bout
- 15:28us like that. It happened. Uh. You got a guy there that
- 15:31was flopping up on twelve million, which is he's not supposed to God,
- 15:41he's done this, but you got this back. And they have been on
- 15:46issues so long, dreadful so and if they talking and the doctor Broder's guys
- 15:58talking something that's not quite m can so you've got on nosis that my drug
- 16:12and they getated and the boss they want to they want to try to fly
- 16:18do they have it? But if they run out of money, what they
- 16:22doing is jacking o duds for drug. And then what they do they catch
- 16:25out they cause they can't enough when they where they they can't pay you,
- 16:29they get theirself in a situation where all of them to what they can get
- 16:33take the section or what the people that they all and they tell them that
- 16:38their life is the dangerous so they'll just shipped up the units after this stuff
- 16:44they want. Guy uh didn't pay the personal druggle and he he hit the
- 16:48dude with the with the pokemon, the the from the post brown. He's
- 16:55just the whole PRIs the broken sea. So that's issue. You're gonna have
- 17:07monitor what happened, Okay, So can you can? Can you kind of
- 17:14break down how how your staffing issues are because a lot of people don't believe
- 17:22that they're staffing issues, that that there's enough people to man these prisons to
- 17:27make sure that stuff is going. Because if you make complaints, we on
- 17:33the outside make complaints to the unbuzzment, the officer, the Office of inspector
- 17:41any of these different offices on the outside and say something about this, then
- 17:47they say that that's something that need to be taken care of the at at
- 17:51the wardens level. So what is your warden? Is your warden? There
- 17:57is he out there and and active and conversating with y'all and walking around and
- 18:03monitoring and making sure that stuff is secure and it's hot. Now is he
- 18:08making sure that y'all restless are set up and that y'all have these things available,
- 18:14that that they're supposed to be available, because these things are supposed to
- 18:17be available, and not that they just set them up when the unbussmen come
- 18:21to visit, after he's called and told like, I get this. I'm
- 18:26in these groups and I hear what these women are saying, like these women
- 18:30are talking about the tuberculosis. So we got a flyer, but we got
- 18:37a fly yard inside of the group saying that it was not true that there
- 18:44was not an outbreak, that it has been isolated or whatever the case may
- 18:49be. And then there's women coming in the group saying that they love one
- 18:55saying that Selly tested positive and had to be isolated and had to be moved
- 19:00and they they I think they said it turned the twelve build into into isolation.
- 19:07Part. So if any part of that truth, that's true. But
- 19:12you gotta realize though, that the government officials is gonna let it in their
- 19:18station was known that they gotta uh the pumption going on in the in the
- 19:23place that they feel like that the family member is supposed to be the cure
- 19:26satan. I think you're don't want to want to tell the truth about that.
- 19:30They're gonna lie. It's got tack, it's not gonna be dead,
- 19:36and you got different be made. You know what, I was gonna pill
- 19:41come up? Ye going to the them? Yeah, well that not because
- 20:15everything it always come back whenever y'all fould grievance I had, you know,
- 20:22I work with a lot of people. You you know that, and Chanette
- 20:29worked with a lot of people. Channette is Channette is the host of Let's
- 20:33Talk About It on the Crew podcast. She worked with a lot of people
- 20:41out of Colorado, so she deals with a lot of in Telivision, and
- 20:45she's now starting to work with some of you guys out of Texas as well,
- 20:51because she just wants to be a voice. She just wants to share
- 20:53these stories because we know that there's a lot of truth to what you guys
- 20:57are saying. Because y'all don't even know each other, y'all are spread out
- 21:03across the prison system, y'all are not some of y'all even in the same
- 21:07state, and y'all stories are similar there. There's things in your stories that
- 21:15that just speak of racism. It speaks of discrepancy, it speaks of charity.
- 21:25So that that that's what we're trying to get addressed. We're trying to
- 21:27get people to understand that this is happening and y'all need to wake up and
- 21:32let's do something about it, because it's too many of us that are losing
- 21:36their lives and then they're giving us these these sentences. You know, it
- 21:45had an inkling of a chance of proving our innocence. Once y'all get it
- 21:51from us, then y'all, y'all, y'all hold us until we're old.
- 21:56We can't get we were all are. So yeah, I want to hear
- 22:03about that. You got junk? Oh h h up. Kids, you
- 22:27love mufful you you you you you you love muffled? A little bit?
- 22:37Can you speak up a little bit to the I don't know you love muffled?
- 22:41Okay? If you, if you, if you have any jun young
- 22:45black bel and the uh, if they'll have any liquor sacs and then they'll
- 22:55make your kids doing so. It's not being build a bugle of you.
- 23:03You're into this alternative where you're on the street, you where I was doing.
- 23:07Whatever whatever it is that you're doing, you're doing first coming, you're
- 23:11in front of the trust and a trust. It seems like they got this.
- 23:15It's characteristic that they already have you preak drugs on what they already Thad's
- 23:22gonna sentence you to ridiculous, just gonna take So if you if you hear,
- 23:34you're not gonna be out there making trouble. Yeah, I believe.
- 23:38I mean, if if people have not read Project twenty twenty five and understand
- 23:44that a lot of these things that Donald Trump said happened when he transitioned into
- 23:48office, and if you don't go out and vote, or you if you
- 23:52don't tell your family that they need to go out and vote and understand the
- 23:56importance of their vote. I'm telling you a lot of us gonna be sitting
- 24:00wherever we are, wondering why didn't I vote because a lot of people like,
- 24:07my vote don't My vote don't matter? It do matter because you see
- 24:11what's happening in this world. Now, you see what's going on. This
- 24:15man saying he's gonna take all of the the black poles out that talk about
- 24:21slavery, anything that about slavery. He's taking it out because he don't want
- 24:25he don't want his kids to know what they did to us. But then
- 24:30I want to tell y'all, tell the story, y'all, y'all want to
- 24:33tell how the teachers tell the history of how he got here, and they
- 24:40make it seem like we are we was with some some some slaves on some
- 24:45ships. No, some of us didn't even have to come here. Us
- 24:48already here, y'all came over here, and so we had already going on.
- 24:52So let's get that. Let's let's get that straight. Let's get that
- 24:55straight first before we start talking about we go back where you come from,
- 25:00because that would be the first thing that they say, go back where we
- 25:03come from. Well, I didn't come from nowhere. I was already here,
- 25:07So you can't tell me to go back where I come from. Tell
- 25:11your ancestors to go back where they come from, because they come over here
- 25:14talking about exploring and finding something, and nothing was lost. Nothing was lost.
- 25:26It wasn't that they were coming over here from Africa. See, y'all
- 25:30got that, y'all not okay? So I'm yeah, yeah, yeah,
- 25:45yeah, already, I mean, we was here It wasn't that we see
- 25:56that's what people keep mixing up. It wasn't the fact that we had to
- 26:00come here. Some of us was here. You know what I'm saying.
- 26:04You you you talk about the indigenous people, I'm saying, if you really
- 26:10back my I mean you look at my skin and look at the other people.
- 26:17You think my skin is it's a gold tone. You should see some
- 26:22of the light of people in my family, like like literally, like literally,
- 26:32you can't tell us we came from Africa because you look at a lot
- 26:37of the people that come from Africa. Until they started moving up into the
- 26:41mountains and isolating themselves, they didn't start getting that light skin. All of
- 26:47them was dark. You look back in in in the true history, you
- 26:51can see all how how people was and as they begin to separate them and
- 26:56they begin to isolate them, and then they want to they to break up
- 27:00the different tribes and then they wanted to isolate into the mountains and then begin
- 27:04to separate. That's when people begin to come and want to take over.
- 27:08And that's what people begin to sell and trade that that people got to know
- 27:14the real history, and then it when we gram it all on them because
- 27:19our own people sold us, sold us to them. Yeah, and see
- 27:29they don't they don't want people to know that. And see when you know
- 27:33all of the history and you know all points, because you know, people
- 27:37don't understand that there's how many commandments in the Bible? I mean, how
- 27:42many commandments? Isn't? Because I know you how many You're gonna say in
- 27:45the Bible? How many in the Bible? And then we're gonna talk about
- 27:48the Bible. So how many commandments? Huh? You say it's ten commandments
- 27:56in the Holy Bible that was written by king king what's his name? But
- 28:06well who it was? Kingy who? King who? The King James and
- 28:11broke the Bible. The King James marriage and heard the Bible and then he
- 28:17took our everything except for that. How many books that they leave out?
- 28:25About eight when several we we're gonna say eight or more they left. But
- 28:32then they tell us that that's what they want us to believe that. Okay,
- 28:37you better get a relationship, you better have a relationship, and you
- 28:45better be able to discern, and you better be able to connect. Because
- 28:48we are spiritual people and people can put whatever they want wherever they want.
- 28:52However, they want to if you can't connect and be able to trace back,
- 28:56because he said you can trace him, and even when you can't trace
- 29:00him, you'll be able to identify what it is. So what I'm saying,
- 29:03people can't just throw stuff out there because he ain't gonna leave you in
- 29:07the dark. And what you don't know, He'll place you in the midst
- 29:11of people that do know. And I'm telling you you will begin to open
- 29:15your your sensory and you'll begin to pick up stuff, and then he'll begin
- 29:19to reveal stuff. Ain't gonna told me something that I've seen. Happy,
- 29:25so go only call back because they already know she already at one minute.
- 29:29And that's what we do. But this this, this, we don't be
- 29:36on here long because we got to be out for here about seven thirty.
- 29:38Patrice, come on tonight. But every opportunity I get to get the opportunity
- 29:45to ship what's going on, because I understand right now is a very important
- 29:52time to vote. Like they called me because they said somebody tried to kill
- 29:57Donald Trump. That's what called me. They said, somebody just tried to
- 30:03take Donald trump life. I said, for real, I said, and
- 30:06and and they didn't succeed. I said, y'all are supposed to only call
- 30:08me. If that, I said, they probably gonna delete. And then
- 30:12they hung up the phone hung up. They they disconnected us because they didn't
- 30:18want us talking about Donald Trump, Like you can't tell say right, you
- 30:22can't censor you can't censor me. He not the president, he the ex
- 30:26president and he don't deserve to be the next president. But because of all
- 30:32these these these crazy people that think that it's it's okay to run up in
- 30:37a White House and and and and people lives were were taken on that day.

- 36:16separate us. They don't want us to the job even they want to want
- 36:22to be with the black. They don't want the white people with the black
- 36:28and they want us with nobody. They want us to be isolated. That
- 36:31always wanted to do that. But it's not about that just us and white
- 36:37Reschell and I look to get the game while the while and white and ras
- 36:44always gonna do you. It's not gonna have us diving together because it's not
- 36:50gonna do because they still preaching racism. That it's like being It's like this
- 36:55said he had a thing that he seeing with other slaves, the life skin
- 37:02slaves against the dog skin slaves, the house slaves against. And here adopted
- 37:09to say just this to our slave on us to keep to keep them,
- 37:19not to be together because they don't want we become together. Once we can
- 37:22become one, become one people for us and look at it that we're concentrated
- 37:27community and we're to get the community. We just come attracted to them along
- 37:32to work inside of the and it's not just about that. It's about our
- 37:37human rights. It's about getting missablishing the rights that we wants to have,
- 37:40making sure that we're protected here, making sure that we're faid right, making
- 37:45sure that we have proper medical attention, making sure that our life isn't ourself
- 37:50to h the pleasings that come up to put now we're feeling, will keep
- 37:55it over here? Nothing the worth. Then you give them a spam that
- 38:00on drugs talking from hospital or his father speople try on us while we're here,
- 38:06Yes, that's up. But yes we are experimenting. Yes, this
- 38:09is a whole another t ski experiment going on to prison. So it's all
- 38:13these different things. And then you got you got them preaching the chances Uh
- 38:19because of the locker. Uh, we take away our rights, be gave
- 38:22a way of privelen you know we didn't. We're still human beings. We
- 38:25gave out skiing, right, I look, I look at that aspect.
- 38:30And then we still got to get our family together. Yes, a lot
- 38:35of a lot of people in here they have they have they have things in
- 38:39their family and their family seems like that there's no healing there. Yes,
- 38:45and we need to try to really have to heal something be saying, and
- 38:51I'm trying to talk to the young man in here. A lot of them
- 38:54have broken the relations with their family. They're spoken the just talk in it,
- 39:00but the thing of it. Then you need to learn how people repaired.
- 39:04I can't repair your relationship with your family. Start writing telling me sorry,
- 39:08tell me you just don't know what it does. Want to say,
- 39:12hey, I was I wasn't in my right, mim. When I've done,
- 39:15I've done. I was on drugs, I was doing whatever. Because
- 39:19more than likely it was because of the drugs and act. Nine times out
- 39:28of teen it was the girls. And you know, like you said,
- 39:30just just just hearing it and just up to it. That that that becomes
- 39:36the first step, you know, owing up to that wrong that you done.
- 39:39That that become the first step. Once you become accountable for that that
- 39:45you are responsible for, then you can learn how to move on. And
- 39:51then it because I Resiah, that's that that that's called moving on. That
- 39:57that that's called moving past. That's that's called and letting go, calling truly
- 40:01forgetting and forgiving. You know, that's that's that's called you know and and
- 40:07and you know it's it's called is stop allowing hinderance. And and that's all
- 40:14those things, those excuses, those things that we allowed to keep us from
- 40:17moving past that. So hinderance. Stop allowing hinderance to keep you in a
- 40:24place where you have an ego where you think that it's all about you,
- 40:28because then it causes you to have an attitude which causes you to not move
- 40:31in love and love because multitude of anything, not just seeing but anything love
- 40:38draws love something. Love is something that you don't even have to say something.
- 40:44You your action speak that. So you tell them you you're changed,
- 40:49then you should be changing things that I should see that you no longer do
- 40:54things that you you know, stuff that you are growing past and be young.
- 41:01So that those are the things we have to look at. Those are
- 41:05the things that we have to consider. Those are the things that you know,
- 41:07we have to bring to the four and and you know, we need
- 41:15to have conversasions like these, like more people have conversations like these people.
- 41:21People need to hear that this is what goes on behind these walls and these
- 41:25are the type of behind them. And you know, some of these people
- 41:30just made a mistake and just need a set like some of these things.
- 41:35Looked at these cases, have read these cases, and have looked at the
- 41:37different laws in different states and the different sentences in different states. Some of
- 41:42these cases Texas in Colorado. If they had been in another state, none
- 41:47of these sentences would be decents. And it's sad, and it's sad that
- 41:52you can prove your innocense, but if you don't prove within a time frame
- 41:58after they deply framed and deliberately kept and falsified documents, kept those things from
- 42:04you. But if you don't do it within a time and then they will
- 42:07block you out of the system. And then there you go. You're stuck.
- 42:14And that's now, that's when you become a part of what they call
- 42:19political prisoners. That that's when you become a part of their political propaganda and
- 42:25in their political plot and and and if you trace the money, you'll see
- 42:31what's going on. So see why they do the things that they do.
- 42:36You know, a lot of companies that we run out here and support are
- 42:38the main ones that assorted the prison system. You you you wonder where a
- 42:43lot of your mattresses come from. They come out of Texas from the prison
- 42:45system. But they got a a mattress factory. These people they do all
- 42:54kind of stuff. You know what, Member, I mean, what's going
- 43:17on in the government give y'all those tablets. So y'all be clear on that
- 43:34the government gave y'all tablets because everybody that gets that government assistance to get those
- 43:42same tablets or they can get the phone. But since y'all are not out,
- 43:45y'll have to get the option of getting the tablets. So they getting
- 43:51food stamps in your name because they want to feed y'all. But then that
- 43:55that that's how they they subsidence, they getting, they they their grants and
- 44:01man, they getting they supply of e T. But it don't come in
- 44:07the form of ET like we get it, but it come in the form
- 44:12that goes into the prison system just as they go into the school that the
- 44:16e b T part of. That's why they're so will to give the kids
- 44:22during the summertime more ET. The parents want be ET for their kids because
- 44:29that's what they use on the school year to feed them. Anyway, I
- 44:34mean, you put you put one and one together, one and one together,
- 44:37you always so ain't no way around it. You can't get two.
- 44:42I don't care if you put it backwards them from it's always gonna be the
- 44:45same one plus one is always gonna eat the two. You got to follow
- 44:47the two ones and see how to get to the two, and you'll see,
- 44:52yep, I've been doing this. I ran a food service program for
- 44:58a nonprofit that I was a part of back in twenty twelve, and I
- 45:02would go to our capital and go through these trainings with our Department of Children's
- 45:09Service. We would have to go through training in order to get the grant
- 45:14money to fund the program that we did. And then they would pay us
- 45:17money for doing the program. After they don't give you money to buy the
- 45:22food, they paid you for each child that you service. So you know,
- 45:25these people was getting all kind of money for this. They was getting
- 45:29grants on type of grants and then they was making more money. And see
- 45:31that's what they do, and that's what they do in the prison system.
- 45:34Them three white men up there in N'sha, Tennessee, when they came up
- 45:37with the private prison system, they came up with money making ways. You
- 45:44got startups, you got Victoria's secrets, you got McDonald's, you got who
- 45:50else? Man, I hole list of these people that got tied reasons that
- 46:00they get. They get something made in the prison, whether it's the bags
- 46:06that they serve or they nampinsh what it is. Something. It may be
- 46:15they underwear, because they got underwear. They got the shop over there,
- 46:22your victoria me and making victory decisions. Yes, they're doing all they're doing
- 46:35to work in the bumper factory. Over fall on it now, man.
- 46:40They they make the tall kill. They made the short that we were that
- 46:52we commisary. They've made a box bottle comma in there and pay you five
- 47:02comment theory. They make it T shirts, T shirts and ah, so
- 47:10y'all they're making y'all, y'all, y'all making your own stuff. And then
- 47:15y'all got to go right back from yourself and buy them stuff that you already
- 47:22know make. You made it for free because you didn't even get paid to
- 47:24make it, because y'all got to work for free. And then if you
- 47:29need a T shirt, you got to go to comments there and buy now.
- 47:32Ain't that's something, yep, But that's what Texas dos. Shirt st
- 47:43y'all are five other states that do not pay their their prisoners for the work
- 47:49that they do. Some of them get paid I ain't that'sing about them paying
- 47:59y'all. I mean, I ain't read nothing about them paying y'all. I
- 48:02mean that you say good time. That's that's got to do with y'all.
- 48:08Tell ya that I'm talking about pay money. Pay money like they get these
- 48:15people money. I'm saying they do all that you're talking about too, they
- 48:19get those benefits to that's that's part of the program. But I'm talking about
- 48:23pay these people money for them going to work these jobs that they saying that
- 48:29they're working. That's what we're talking about. We ain't talking about there working
- 48:32the job, because there working the job earns them the good time. But
- 48:37pay them for working the day. Don't. Don't make them go for free,
- 48:40and then they gotta go they gotta go to school. Pay to go
- 48:44to school and do all this other stuff. Let these people make money so
- 48:46they can send money home to their family, because you you want to help
- 48:52them up some of them. You want to hear them up for child support.
- 48:53Let them send child support to they to they family. Let them get
- 48:58insurance so that they can go to the doctors and take care of themselves so
- 49:01they have to be they don't have to be waiting for the state to get
- 49:07them masses or to get their teeth, ficks, whatever they need done.
- 49:12That that that's why a lot of them want to work. A lot of
- 49:15them want to work so they can save up money so they can fel towards
- 49:19when they do get to come, because they're not going to be there forever.
- 49:22A lot of them planning on being. Yeah, but some y'all got
- 49:25comfortable. I here, I work every day out of tours, trying to
- 49:31regain my freedom. But then in the meantime doing that, I like to
- 49:36read. I'm definitely gonna stay and my own on my old journey by old
- 49:43yearling and getting myself, you know, the emotional growing up and the things
- 49:51that I experienced in my life. It's all about. It's all about you
- 49:55got to know what you need in order to be the field better human beings,
- 50:01being a man. So the initiative to try to find out what was
- 50:07going on with me. So I got a question. I got a question
- 50:14for you. You say you like to read, You say you like me.
- 50:19So I like to write, and I like to together books and I
- 50:22like to share. So there's a book that I collaborated with with eight other
- 50:29guys called Kings You Are Not Forgotten, and it talks a lot about the
- 50:35prison system, background about different things learning the prison system. And then there's
- 50:42some guys that's eight of them that share, you know, from their heart
- 50:45and soul through poegery, through short letters, through affirmations, just however they
- 50:52like sharing inside. And then I shared some guys stories. Have you seen
- 50:57that book it's called Kings You Are Not Forgotten? I heard it was floating
- 51:02around you. Yeah. Yeah, So what do I have to read some
- 51:07of them because some of the people I knew that I knew some of the
- 51:10people that that that was in the book. So it was like, you
- 51:15know, I really I enjoyed it. I judged them, Uh A king,
- 51:21right, so that's something yes, And I'm like, and that that's
- 51:30part of And he said, it's a lot of things that that I read
- 51:37got that in prison. They're very talents. Uh. The words they had
- 51:45to say, it's relevant. But the pain is healing, healing, healing.
- 51:52Uh, it's a told for him in order for them to express their
- 51:59emotional guide on paper. And what they're saying to people, they can understand
- 52:06it. But a lot of times people feel like a man that's not supposed
- 52:09to have feelings. That we're supposed to be tough, that we're supposed to
- 52:14have this matter of delenity side there, that we don't take any kind of
- 52:17things like that. We gotta realize we human. We please. I often
- 52:24bleed blood. It still has the dent of it, but we don't know.
- 52:30I just don't like the stereotype that that individuals put on how a man
- 52:35is supposed to see. Yes, I know my side of the story.
- 52:40I know what I feel. I know that I know, I know my
- 52:45heart feel about me. I'm a companion the person, and I'm not afraid
- 52:52to share my emotional side with people around me, especially if it's them expression
- 52:59who they really off mhm. A powerful man to talk about it, because
- 53:04we're not to share everythingthing like that, right, you know? I remember
- 53:08my father told me one time, he said that I asked the wife never
- 53:13told me he loved? He said, I love you tell But I was
- 53:16doing a time when my father told me that you're not can never tell your
- 53:21son to love, you know, and that that didn't make sense to me.
- 53:25But I always like my father. I tell my daughter I love.
- 53:30I want my kids to know I want my daughter, I love I love
- 53:35you because tell my kids they'll never have to not know anything about your father,
- 53:42anything that I feel like they should know. Tell them the truth.
- 53:45I'm not. I don't believe why my kids about nothing, well, my
- 53:51daughter to the white side. There's nothing that they don't know about the fast.
- 53:55We're not gonna let somebody else tell them a lie what I can tell
- 53:59them the truth? Right, And I think that's another mistake. Yeah,
- 54:07that's it people, that's true. I mean, that's just people, period.
- 54:12It's not just to stereotype, man, it's just people period. We
- 54:19we got to learn how to be honest to ourselves. And we can be
- 54:22honest and true to ourselves, and that's when we can be honest with true
- 54:24to others. You know, it's okay to feel how you feel. But
- 54:28I tell people all the time, don't you know, feel how you feel
- 54:31for however long you need to feel, but know when you've been there too
- 54:36long and it's time to move on. That's right, you know, because
- 54:39if you never go through, you never go through these different emotions to these
- 54:44different feelings, then how can you tell the next person how to deal with
- 54:47how to deal with it? When they go through it. You know what
- 54:50I'm saying. That's that's how we able to help other people through. But
