  Speaker 5: brother for a long time. He came to the public's
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: eye doing Trayvon Martin unfortunate situation and he has not
• 1:50
  Speaker 5: left us. And he is a very sincere person. He
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: believes in the cause, and the cause is that like
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: I always said, he said, if you want to know justice,
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: rashan in the back of any courtroom, and you know
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: there are two types of justice. And I believe that,
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: and I so humbly. I will be introducing him Attorney
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: Benjamin Crump Tourney Krump. I'm talking to him right now
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: about our life, our personal relationships. And you know last
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: time we got on the phone together is when I
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: connected you with Stephen A.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Smith.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: It was about the police officers who had brutalized that
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: young man and you had a press conference. But it
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: was equally important for you to have that interview with
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: Steven A. Smith because about getting the message out to
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: everybody about what's going on, because sometimes you need different
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: voices to help the story get told correctly.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Correct Absolutely, that was Tyree Nichols Rashan who was killed
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: by five black police officers and Memphis, Tennessee.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: And it was just tragic on so many levels.
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: Not only did the video show that Tyren Nichols was
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: so compliant, he said, why a y'all doing this?
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Just trying to get home?
• 3:10
  Speaker 6: And I mean you to have those black police officers
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: beat them like that was so troubling Rashan because you,
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: as I told Stephen A. Smith, our frat brother who
• 3:21
  Speaker 6: has a different audience that I normally don't speak to you.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: I said, you know that could have been their little brother.
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: How is it that they couldn't see that that was
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: somebody's little brother, that that was somebody's son, And why
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: couldn't they have the consideration, the passion, the empathy that
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: this young black person who has skin just like them
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: could have been their family members. And so it was
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: tragic and it was before, you know, when everything was breaking,
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: we hadn't had the funeral yet. Our Vice president Kamala
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: Harris came and spoke at the funeral because we wanted
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: to show to the world. Sometimes people say Rashon that,
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: oh well, nobody cares unless it's a white person killing
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: a black person. That's not true. What we care about
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: is any injustice. The pain is real. It doesn't matter
• 4:20
  Speaker 6: if it's a black hand or white hand that pulls
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: the trigger. The pain is just the same. And that's
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: what we were saying. We won't equal justice no matter
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: what the situation is.
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: And that's important because that was one of those cases where,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: you know, we'd always dealt with the white violence from
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: a police standpoint, and it was just equally crippling to
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: me to see black men through this to another black
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: person that was like unconfortable, that was like, come on, now,
• 4:47
  Speaker 5: you know, we always hear in the community by black
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: on black violence. We always hear by black people robbing
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: other black people. Then you see it from a police standpoint.
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: It was just that was just like a game. Where's
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: that key? Said right now?
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know all of the officers have been charged
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: with merlin, So that was important. And the other thing
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: I kept saying, if you remember when I talked to
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: Stephen Aris Shine, I said, now, in less than twenty days,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: all five of those black officers were terminated, arrested, and
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: charged with murray. And so that's the president. Now that's
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: the new president. And so next time, if it's white
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: officers that kill us unjustly use excessive force, then we
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: want to see the same actions. We don't want when
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: you got video for crime being committed, it's going to
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: take a year or two years for you to investigate it,
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: just like you did with those five black officers, arrest them,
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: terminate them, and charge them. We want the same thing
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: when it's white police officers, equal justice. I'm black American
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: Attorney General, and so I want to keep saying it
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: has to be people justice.
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: I always remember what you told me, you said, Richond,
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: just sit in the back of a court room and
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: you realize that it is not justice for all that
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: is always when we did evidence of innocence, you taught
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: me that note. You said, you see just sitting the
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: back of the court room, and you see there is
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: a difference between black justice and white justice, and that's
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: a tragic correct.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so tragic. I mean you never have to
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: take my word for it. Go in any courtroom in America,
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: sit in the back and see how justice is administer.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: You have black people and white people have very similar crimes,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: and you so often I've seen the young white people
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: get a slap on the wrist and they're escorted out
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: the court room, delive out the fulfillment of their destiny
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: that God has for them, and have every opportunity at
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: their American dream. But then you see black and brown
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: people have the same crimes and they're taken to the
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: corner of the court room finger printed handcuff, and it
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: up a trumped up feeling the conviction and I do
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: mean trumped up and then rashine for the rest of
• 7:06
  Speaker 6: their life. They have to wear that scarlet leven being
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: a convicted feeling, and life is different when you got
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: that feeling the conviction. And that's all we're saying. Why
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: can't black people get the benefit of the doubt, the
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: benefit of consideration, the benefit of possibility. Why can't our
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: children get the same considerations that little white children get.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: That's all we're asking for, that's all we want.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: You know, It's interesting when I SEEO TV.
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: I see you on TV in different ways now, mister crump,
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I see on ways of you know, standing up for
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: individuals who've been undeserved, standing the people who've been wrong.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Now I'm seeing you on TV being honored, and those
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: are moments the image of Wars recently, the agree on
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: which I thought was an incredible moment for you because
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: of the people within the audience, and then the people
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: standing up for you. I mean you're talking about when
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: they announced you then gave you this Prescient Degree awards.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Those are moments.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: Man. Well I'm with my wife, I go, that's my
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: boy right there, that's my friend right there, that's my
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: boy right there, that's my friend right Well, what goes
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: to your head now that you know you are a
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: different level, You are perceived in a different light, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: when people see you come from and you're talking for
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: us you're talking for us, You're talking for the underserved.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Talk to us.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: About being honored and then what it means as far
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: as being responsible.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: You know, Rischid, I give you a lot of credit
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: when I would call in and you would always get
• 8:43
  Speaker 6: me on the Steve Harvey radio show, even when we
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: were talking about Treyvon. And you know, I'll never forget.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: It's the mission that's the important thing. And I am
• 8:54
  Speaker 6: humbled by all the accolades that I have been blessed with,
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: and I give God all the glory because it's never you,
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: it's God using you as a blessing. And so I
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: always remember those things, and every time I get the
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: platform of being recognized, I always try to use those
• 9:16
  Speaker 6: moments to talk about the mission of trying to make
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: a better world for our children. Whether it was the
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Grill Wards or the image of Wards, or when I
• 9:26

  Speaker 4: Rushaan McDonald.
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: I see how they're changing Black history right before us,
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: and then you have you know, I don't want to
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: talk about it. I don't want to talk about it.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: You're based in Florida. Talk about what's going on in
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Florida from your perspective and how as we as a
• 11:29
  Speaker 5: nation can help you and the people of Florida.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: You know, Fred, it is deplorable. It is absolutely deplorable.
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: I mean, you got Governor DeSantis, who is on the
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: short list to be the Republican nominee for president. He's
• 11:48
  Speaker 6: second only to Donald Trump, and he is I mean,
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: he's passing laws to get rid of everything that is diversity,
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: equity and inclusion. All d I in the state of
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: Florida now is against the law. He's banning books, I mean,
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: all the celebrated black authors like my Angelou I know
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: why the Cage burd sings, Alice Walker Colored Purple. I mean,
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: he's getting rid of James Barbogo, Tellor on the Mountain.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: I mean all these things, and.
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: Then he bans the teaching of African American AP history
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: in high school and now Arkansas in Texas has banned
• 12:33
  Speaker 6: AP American history.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: So this is real.
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: And to top it all off, I mean, it's heartbreaking
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: how they are trying to steal our young people future
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: from them, kill their spirits. He is saying that the
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: law in Florida now from middle school to high school,
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: when you teach about American history and you come to
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: the subject of slavery, that you must it is mandatory,
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: or that you must teach that slavery had positive.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: Benefits for their slave people.
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: I mean, you talking about heresy, You talking about cause
• 13:13
  Speaker 6: of severe psychological trauma to black students who have to
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: be told what slavery was good for your.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: People, right, And that's the whole part about when you
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: get into police brutality, they look at you, what did
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: you do wrong?
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Did you instigate the cop? Did you call that police
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: person to be at that way?
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Because when you start allowing people to take a story
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: and bend it, and then all of a sudden, you
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: become the problem. You not the victim anymore, You the problem.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: And that's what they're saying about slavery or we brought
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: you over here, but look at it, we helped you
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: to a better life.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: It's just so acdine when you think about it. Even
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: on the race massacres, when they came in Massacre and
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: burn town was of.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Tens and twenties and black people.
• 14:05
  Speaker 6: He's trying to say that. They're trying to say the
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: curriculum must say, well, we got to talk about the
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: black violence too. How can it be violent when you
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: came to burn our homes and murder us. But you're saying, now,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: we got to teach both sides, like when you talk
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: about slavery, you got to teach both sides. I was
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: very proud of Vice President Kamala Harris who came to
• 14:28
  Speaker 6: Florida and said, no, no, this is he's trying to
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: draw us into an unnecessary debate. Slavery had no positive
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: benefits for black people, and the fact that slavery was
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: evil in a marvel, point blank period the end of
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: the discussion, we don't need to be dragged into this debate.
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: But that's what he wants to do because he's trying
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: to give his base red meat for them to continue
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: to try to use racism to divide us.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: You know, It was really interesting when you know, because
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: you can get branded a stereotype to say this is
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: the type of cases that you represent. And when I
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: saw you come to the front with those Northwestern football players.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: As much as I know you, I was called off guard.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I go, he do these cases too.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: It was like, isn't it as important to diversify, to
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: show people the global perspective of your legal.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Presence in this country and in this world.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you know, Rashan, we continue to evolve. And
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: again I looked at the examples of you and others
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: who say, hey, you can't put me in a bronx.
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: I'm for all people, I'm for all justice. When we
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: fight this fight, and we have to continue to say
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: if it's wrong for our children and it's wrong for
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: your children, well we fight for justice for everybody.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: So when we're talking about the Northwestern.
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: University hazing incident, we represent more white people, more white
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: college athletes then we do black college athletes. And that
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: just shows the evolution that and it gives hope for
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: America that white people are calling Ben crumpt to represent them,
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: not just black people. Because, as the great John Johnson said,
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: the founder of Ebony magazine.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: There is no denying excellence.
• 16:21
  Speaker 6: So we have to teach our children to always strive
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: for excellence and everything they do well.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: You know, New York Magazine said Bankrump may be the
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: hardest working attorney in the country.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: And I always say this, you know, well, you don't know.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: You educate yourself.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: So after I saw him come to the podium representing
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: the athletes for Northwestern University, I went to his website.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I went to a website because I wanted to.
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: See some of the cases that he's represented, call accident, burn, fire, injuries,
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: civil rights, medical mail practice, negligent security, nursing, home and
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: elder abuse, personal injury, read product liability, premises liability, slip
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: and fall, workman's compensation, wrong for death. My man, you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: you forced me to learn more about somebody that I
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: thought I knew.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: And I'm blessed to say.
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: You're doing it all man, and you're doing it at
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: the top of the level. But you're not doing it
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: by yourself. You have a team. You have a law
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: firm that's representing you. Behind the scene, you're the face.
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: Correct, Absolutely, this is always a team effort. And now
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: we have fifteen offices Racheon. I mean, God is truly blessing,
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: and we are doing so many things.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: We're doing a.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: Lot of mass tort work, like we did the roundup
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: delegation where the weed killer was Talls and non Hopkins lymphoma.
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: And again we had more white people we represented than
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: black people, and we were able to sell that case
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: for millions and millions of dollars. And then also we're
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: there well right now the hair relax of litigation with
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: the chemical hair relaxer that affects a lot of people.
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: And then the Johnson and Johnson where we were dealing
• 18:11
  Speaker 6: with the Talcolm pip that would cause them women to
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: have you know, cervical cancer, and we're dealing with that,
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: and that is stuff that is so far beyond police
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: brutality what people know me for. So it's just God
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: is using you to say, I gave you this long degree,
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: I gave you this legal education. Go make a difference
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: for people who don't have the resources that are being marginalized.
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: So we try to give a voice to the voiceless.
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: And again, rashide Man, I thank you from the bottom
• 18:45
  Speaker 6: of my heart always having a vision to see something
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: in me that I had the time, I didn't always
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: seeing myself.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: But like my mother said, don't tell me who God can.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: You well know that I thank you very much for
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: that attorney Crump, you know, But like said, when I
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: saw you walk up to that podium with the Northwestern
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: athlete athletes, that let me know I didn't know everything
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: I needed to know about you, which also told me
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I gotta do some additional branding for my brother. I
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: just can't come on my show and just talk about
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: all these civil rights cases that are tied to police abuse.
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: And there's a case that you just recently won. I
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: think it's going to be developed for a new documentary.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: Give us some more detail about that.
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it is a landmark in every since heard the lax.
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: The black woman who had nineteen fifty one. John Hopkins,
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: you know, were doing these experiments on black people, treating
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: us like lab rats and guinea pigs. They butchered her
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: and stole her sales because they were looking for sales,
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: human seals that would regenerate outside the human body. And
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: her miraculous sales and I'm not surprised that it came
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: from a black They were the first sales in the
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: course of human history. To regenerate outside the human body.
• 20:07
  Speaker 6: They would regenerate every twenty four hours, and they've been
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: doing so since nineteen fifty one, and pharmaceutical companies have
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: used her sales for every modern advancement and medical progress
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: in the last seventy years. If you've had a vaccine,
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: if you've had any kind of modern medicine, if you've
• 20:29
  Speaker 6: benefited in any way from medicine, modern medicine and research
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: in the last seventy years, then this arguable, Rashine McDonald,
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: that you too got some here inside you. I mean,
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: she is the mother of modern medicine in every sense
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: of the word. These pharmaceutical companies have made billions upon
• 20:49
  Speaker 6: billions upon billions of dollars offer her in mortal sales.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: Oprah Winfrey did a movie about twelve years ago and
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: her family, her black family, had ever received one red
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: cent and so they came to me and asked me
• 21:08
  Speaker 6: if I can help them, And people said, we were
• 21:11
  Speaker 6: out of our mind. How you gonna bring a seventy
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: year old lawsuit being crump where we bought the lawsuit
• 21:17
  Speaker 6: under the legal precedent of unjust enrichment that you can't
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: benefit from a wrongdoing you can't benefit from a crime.
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: Because she died eight months later after they butchered her sales.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: This thirty one year old mother fought this beautiful, intelligent
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: black woman and seventy years later with his poetic justice
• 21:41
  Speaker 6: shine because on what would have been her one hundred
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: and third birthday, August first, this year, twenty twenty three,
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: the first pharmaceutical company settled with US and gave her
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: family a confidential settlement. And so now it has paid
• 22:00
  Speaker 6: the way that we can go out to every pharmaceutical
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: company on Earth. And my mother asked me, as my
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: mom reads the newspaper on everything. He said, well, babe,
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: they said you can go suit some of the other
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: pharmaceutical companies.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Now how many more you gonna suit?
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: And I told my mama, Mama, We're gonna suit every
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: last one of them. And so Netflix is making a documentary.
• 22:30
  Speaker 6: Riza from Whu Tang Clan is direct that. He's a
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: big science nerd.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: I mean he also martial arts martial arts as well.
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: Exactly, and so he's directing. And so since Silvil was
• 22:45
  Speaker 6: so successful, you know, Hollywood saying let's run it back again.
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: Rashona, my brother, you know when I bring you on
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: the show. My whole goal is one to say I
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: love you, but checking to acknowledge that'll make usige five
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: to the day we die.
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: And the other things.
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: But more importantly the journey of twenty fifteen to now,
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: you know, journey of us talking telling you, hey man,
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: you can do it. You're telling me what your dream
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: is possible. But today I just had to let everybody
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: know that you're bigger than the perception that's being made
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: by the media. Your firm protects America. That's why you
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: are America's go to lawyer. A termament Benjamin Crump.
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: Hey, thank you, my brother. Always thank you for Sean McDonald.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: You know that was you think that I was talking
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: to a younger brother, because that's how much love I
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: have for Attorney Benjamin Crump. Such an undus guy and
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: such a hard worker, hard work about his brand. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 5: remember when I first saw him, like we all saw
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: him coming to the podium Tavon Martin in Florida, that situation.
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: You know, he was a little rough around the edges,
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: and he called me and I met him at the
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: at the Neighborhood Awards. That's when I first physically met
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: him and and I sat down and I told him
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: what I thought he could be, what he could do,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: what he had to do, and he listened. And I've
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: had a great life, man. And not saying I'm dying tomorrow,
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: but the amount of people that I sit down and
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: I talked to and I just give him my honest
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: thoughts about what God has presented to them and what
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: they can take it to the next step is incredible.
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: I know people have often said, Rey shown you need
• 24:31
  Speaker 5: to do a document somebody need to do documentary on you.
• 24:34
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying they need to do that. I'm just
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: saying that when you see people, don't hate on them.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: If you see something got somebody has a talent, support them,
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: uplift them because they can do something you can't do.
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: Why would I hate on Michael Jordan. I can't dunk
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: on him. I can't dunk like Michael Jordan. Why would
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: I hate on Lebron James. I can't play basketball like
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: he plays at forty one years of age? Why could
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: Why what I hate on attorney Benjamin Crump when I
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: saw he was doing something I could not do. And
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: so when I look out there and I talk to
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: people on a daily basis when I talk to people,
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: whether it's in person on this show, is that we
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: allow too many excuses to stop us from living our
• 25:17
  Speaker 5: own dreams. I get tapped on the shoulders so many
• 25:21
  Speaker 5: times by the interview I did with Tom Billio about
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: they talk about age being an excuse, not being an excuse,
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: because so many of us, as individuals, we hit certain
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: points in our lives that we start building excuses so
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: we don't achieve our dreams. It can be wait, it
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: can be a relationship, it can be other people around you.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Because I often say, don't ever let your friends, family,
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: or co work or stop you from planning or living
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: your dreams. Leave with your gifts. I say that a
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: lot because those people right there, your friends, your family,
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: and your loved ones and your co workers, their old
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: people don't be right there, can shut you down. I
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: can tell you that don't make any sense to me.
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: You'll never make it. You're dreaming. That's a pipe dream,
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: that's a fool's dream. I'm telling you right now. It
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: been Crump, attorney Been Crump would to listen to any
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: of those people, he will not be the person he
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: is today. That's why whenever I interview him man. I
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: always like to interview him, you know when he's coming
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: off a case because he's so energized. And all you
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: hear is energy, All you hear is love, all you
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: hear is passion. All you hear is opportunity. Take that
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: what you hear or what you heard in that interview
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: and become it. Know that you five years from that,
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: one year from now, ten years, fifteen years from now,
• 26:57
  Speaker 5: your dreams can come true. But it has to come
• 27:00
  Speaker 5: true with somebody believing in you. And guess what, when
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: you listen to Money Making Conversation Masterclass, you're listening to
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: somebody who believes in you. Listen to my show, it's
