3:34
Speaker 1: you unite network please working the money making conversation again.
3:37
Speaker 1: He is a Sigma by trade. My man, Bill do
3:44
Speaker 1: was good to see you, Bill. Dude, Bill, look, you
3:47
Speaker 1: know what men you we junk off air because I
3:49
Speaker 1: remember making side five and I always tell people this
3:51
Speaker 1: mall on the real I tell people I pledged while
3:54
Speaker 1: I was in college and it changed my life. It
3:57
Speaker 1: changed my life and fraternitis in general. I talked about
3:59
Speaker 1: for Turn Together. It's easy to signals. You're gonna pointed
4:02
Speaker 1: signal like I can't see blue and white. But I
4:07
Speaker 1: always tell people because a lot of people think that
4:10
Speaker 1: fraternity row is about party and it's about it's about
4:14
Speaker 1: having a good time, but really being in a fraternity
4:18
Speaker 1: changed my perspective, gave me a clear understanding of the community,
4:21
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to bring that up because you know,
4:24
Speaker 1: we both are passionate about our fraternities and uh and
4:27
Speaker 1: we always are telling people the value of fraternity. Talk
4:30
Speaker 1: about being a member of the sigment of your of
4:32
Speaker 1: your organization. For a second, Well, first of all, it's
4:36
Speaker 1: a it's a very happy to be a part of it.
4:39
Speaker 1: And as you say, many many people think about fraternities
4:44
Speaker 1: as party. You know, people party from time to time,
4:46
Speaker 1: but that's not the foundation of it. The foundation of
4:49
Speaker 1: is a collaboration of brothers coming together to really discuss
4:54
Speaker 1: and take action on issues that we face as a
4:56
Speaker 1: culture in our community, from business to whatever politics. But
5:03
Speaker 1: to have a discussion and we don't have to agree
5:06
Speaker 1: on everything, but ye mutual respect for each other and
5:10
Speaker 1: the fact that we can honestly say what we feel
5:12
Speaker 1: without being judged, you know. And that's that's those those
5:17
Speaker 1: statements that you say, I echo those statements, but in
5:21
Speaker 1: because of again, you know, gives you a sense of balance.
5:23
Speaker 1: And that's why I say, you know, when you want
5:25
Speaker 1: to go out in the community, because you know, even
5:26
Speaker 1: though you're an actor, your director, you produce many projects,
5:30
Speaker 1: it's about your brand, and your brand is entertainment and
5:35
Speaker 1: in entertainment it does allow you to capture people's attention.
5:39
Speaker 1: And when you capture people attention, that can allow you
5:41
Speaker 1: to go And I don't shape their minds, shape their experiences.
5:44
Speaker 1: And I know we're gonta show to talk about. You know,
5:46
Speaker 1: the movie that you're starting in the July first is
5:49
Speaker 1: gonna be on HBO Max. But Bill, do when you
5:51
Speaker 1: talk about your Deep Duke Media Foundation, tell us why
5:55
Speaker 1: it's important and why did you started? Well, it's the
6:00
Speaker 1: same reason I thought of my network. We our generations,
6:06
Speaker 1: I think, have an obligation to leave something for our
6:11
Speaker 1: children that is better than what we inherited and what
6:17
Speaker 1: we are in today. We are in a day of
6:19
Speaker 1: the vision um, from the COVID two politics to race um.
6:28
Speaker 1: What are we leaving our children? And that is the
6:31
Speaker 1: real question, because we have to leave them something that
6:36
Speaker 1: gives them hope. And so I created my foundation. We
6:40
Speaker 1: teach basically two things, media literacy for young people are
6:44
Speaker 1: coming into the business and really want to understand with
6:48
Speaker 1: the business of the industry really is and how it's changing.
6:52
Speaker 1: You went from film and television to media when I
6:56
Speaker 1: when I came up, and I say this all the time,
7:00
Speaker 1: I had one of the first cell phones and I
7:03
Speaker 1: think you did too, my brother. Remember the size of
7:05
Speaker 1: it absolute, come on, come on? Am I exaggerating? I'm
7:09
Speaker 1: holding next to my head. I had it used to
7:11
Speaker 1: hangs and it had a box with re Remember the
7:15
Speaker 1: boxing that was. That was like our first purse. Remember
7:18
Speaker 1: it looked like a purse. They had to strap on shoulder.
7:21
Speaker 1: You had to hold of day like a metal detector. Really,
7:27
Speaker 1: and we thought we were cool man. We felt we
7:29
Speaker 1: were the stuff right well. And there was no internet then,
7:33
Speaker 1: And so I try to talk to him about the
7:37
Speaker 1: evolution of things with young people from those times to
7:41
Speaker 1: what they have now and how they can leverage it
7:44
Speaker 1: to their benefit of their brands, not just being an
7:48
Speaker 1: actor or director, but what do you believe in? What
7:50
Speaker 1: is your brand? And how are you gonna fight for it?
7:53
Speaker 1: Learn the technology, learned the disciplines that go along with that.
7:59
Speaker 1: So we teach them financial literacy. Um, and we'll talk
8:02
Speaker 1: about today, I'm sure. But there are people and you
8:06
Speaker 1: and I both know this for a fact, that make
8:08
Speaker 1: a hundred million dollars or more. My brother or Brooke,
8:13
Speaker 1: how do you make a hundred million dollars and go woke?
8:19
Speaker 1: Because people teach you how to spend a dollar, but
8:23
Speaker 1: not how to use a dollar. And so we teach
8:28
Speaker 1: young people what is the f D i C, What
8:32
Speaker 1: is the Federal Reserve? What is banking? What is what
8:36
Speaker 1: is compound interest? What is savings? What is debt? What
8:40
Speaker 1: is the stock market? What are bonds? You know? What
8:43
Speaker 1: are you know? Stocks? So so the thing is that
8:47
Speaker 1: we give them an understanding of what money is, how
8:50
Speaker 1: it's used, and how you can use it to your
8:52
Speaker 1: own benefit, not just spend it, but use it. It's
8:57
Speaker 1: finally here the season of elebration. And no matter how
9:01
Speaker 1: you celebrate with family and friends, whether you're preparing for
9:04

9:57
Speaker 1: one else grows in the forest. Our imagination, our sense
10:00
Speaker 1: of wonder, and our family bonds grow too, because when
10:03
Speaker 1: we disconnect from this and connect with this, we reconnect
10:10
Speaker 1: with each other. The forest is closer than you think.
10:14
Speaker 1: Find a forest near you and start exploring. I Discover
10:17
Speaker 1: the Forest dot org brought to you by the United
10:20
Speaker 1: States Forest Service and the AD Council. What grows in
10:24
Speaker 1: the forest trees? Sure you know what else grows in
10:28
Speaker 1: the forest. Our imagination, our sense of wonder, and our
10:32
Speaker 1: family bonds grow too, because when we disconnect from this
10:37
Speaker 1: and connect with this, we reconnect with each other. The
10:42
Speaker 1: forest is closer than you think. Find a forest near
10:45
Speaker 1: you and start exploring. I Discover the Forest dot org
10:49
Speaker 1: brought to you by the United States Forest Service and
10:51
Speaker 1: the AD Council. We know that the beauty of knowledge,
10:55
Speaker 1: and that's what you're teaching to knowledge because without knowledge,
10:58
Speaker 1: that you became to be either go backwards or your
11:01
Speaker 1: main station area. And that was always impacts the black
11:04
Speaker 1: community because we're always battling the fighting for education and
11:08
Speaker 1: we're always battling the fight for an opportunity. Same thing
11:11
Speaker 1: happened with the COVID nineteen when it hit. Who did
11:13
Speaker 1: the effect African Americans and people of color? Why at
11:16
Speaker 1: least educated? Uh, We're living in living conditions with mass
11:20
Speaker 1: transit situations and also naturally poor dieting situations, and so
11:25
Speaker 1: then that becomes why is that important? And why is
11:28
Speaker 1: it important to note where the bank account is wise?
11:31
Speaker 1: It't know what percentages are wise, you know, if you're
11:33
Speaker 1: in the district, there's gonna you know, do unfair housing
11:36
Speaker 1: on you. You know, we continually can't get ahead because
11:39
Speaker 1: we're spending a different dollar. And that's what you're trying
11:42
Speaker 1: to say right now in this interview, correct Bill, do yes, sir.
11:46
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get us to understand what money is
11:50
Speaker 1: and how we can use it to our benefit. And
11:53
Speaker 1: that's what we teach the young people in our foundation.
11:56
Speaker 1: Because if I'm just saying we as a culture to
11:59
Speaker 1: do it, the cells we can't depend upon others doing
12:04
Speaker 1: it for us, and so the men and women in
12:07
Speaker 1: our community have to pass on what we've learned from
12:11
Speaker 1: our mistakes so that our young people don't make the
12:14
Speaker 1: same mistakes. You know, I when you know, when I
12:19
Speaker 1: look through my life, you know, I would say that
12:22
Speaker 1: I have made mistakes, but I don't know if they
12:24
Speaker 1: are mistakes or the experiences. Because if you learn from it,
12:27
Speaker 1: then it's not a mistake. But you continue to make
12:30
Speaker 1: the same mistake, then there's a problem because you didn't learn.
12:34
Speaker 1: And so I've advanced myself called politics. Politics, it's called
12:40
Speaker 1: that's called being able to to to to negotiate the
12:43
Speaker 1: right situation because you know yourself, Bill, your your career
12:46
Speaker 1: has been tied to relationships. Your career has been tied
12:49
Speaker 1: to people extending their hand, either by surprise or one
12:53
Speaker 1: that you may sure you was in the position to shake.
12:56
Speaker 1: And that's what also in the financial world that you're
12:59
Speaker 1: teaching that you have to let black people understand and
13:02
Speaker 1: that I'll talk about it all the time. We can
13:03
Speaker 1: talk a little Hollywood talk. It's like I've been in
13:06
Speaker 1: Hollywood since n two. Okay, first writing job, I did
13:10
Speaker 1: stand up comic pride to that. And I just always
13:12
Speaker 1: see these white producers go on meetings while they were working.
13:17
Speaker 1: They have a writer job, they go looking for another
13:19
Speaker 1: job establish the relationships. We don't think like that. And
13:22
Speaker 1: if they got terminated or the contract they get to
13:25
Speaker 1: extent they shook their hands that thank you for the
13:28
Speaker 1: opportunity and said the traditionally African American people of color
13:33
Speaker 1: get mad, frustrated, pointing fingers. Okay, guess what you're blowing
13:37
Speaker 1: that relationship. The relationship is that things don't always go
13:41
Speaker 1: the way you play. Act like it. Okay, understand the
13:45
Speaker 1: value of your money. Am I wrong in these assessments
13:47
Speaker 1: that I'm making the build? Do you are brilliantly putting
13:51
Speaker 1: it together? Um? Malcolm X said something. He said two
13:56
Speaker 1: things that I learned a lot from. First he said,
14:02
Speaker 1: don't be playing checkers in the chess game. And number two,
14:08
Speaker 1: he said, no matter how good a football player you are,
14:12
Speaker 1: at the name of the game is baseball. You but
14:14
Speaker 1: to get yourself a damn back, absolutely, because your competition
14:21
Speaker 1: is gonna say you're a good You're a good, good,
14:25
Speaker 1: good little football player. Keep running them out of that basics.
14:28
Speaker 1: You're good, right, right, and they were they were they
14:31
Speaker 1: hitting home runs with bats. We have to be again
14:35
Speaker 1: to understand the game, how it's played, what the rules are.
14:40
Speaker 1: We can make our own game also, but the fact
14:43
Speaker 1: of the matter is is that we have to study
14:47
Speaker 1: the knowledgeable, take the time to learn and understand the business.
14:52
Speaker 1: You know, uh, I know you're on my show here today.
14:55
Speaker 1: Money makes Bill Duke talk about no sudden mood just
14:58
Speaker 1: debate in July one on hb OLD Actually you know
15:01
Speaker 1: the brilliant producer, director Stephen Salderberg. But prior to all
15:06
Speaker 1: going on the air, you mentioned the word bid with
15:09
Speaker 1: you know, like like that, like did did you not
15:13
Speaker 1: mention that to me? Yes? I mentioned with uh. And
15:17
Speaker 1: and they send people to Boston on trains when they lose.
15:22
Speaker 1: And when people play me, they learn from me. I teach,
15:25
Speaker 1: So so you know, anytime you're ready, I'm gonna teach.
15:29
Speaker 1: I love my young students. Anytime let me know. Okay,
15:34

15:38
Speaker 1: see what you are doing, fly me in, whoop my butt,
15:41
Speaker 1: and then fly me back. And that didn't happen like
15:43
Speaker 1: that because that gives you more smack brown. Okay, I'm
15:47
Speaker 1: gonna fly myself. And you see, people don't know Bill
15:50
Speaker 1: like I know Bill. They just see that little dark character.
15:53
Speaker 1: You know, sinister, you know, don't ever smile you walking around.
15:57
Speaker 1: He might shoot you, knife you, you know, to send

19:07
Speaker 1: movie projects, so it's a relationship there. Talk about your
19:11
Speaker 1: involvement in this movie. First of all, I'm wanna thank
19:14
Speaker 1: Stephen for putting me in the movie. I've worked with
19:17
Speaker 1: him mom, you know, the Lining High Flying Bird, and
19:22
Speaker 1: this is my third film. Working with him and working
19:25
Speaker 1: with Matt Damon and Don Schetto was a blessing, a
19:28
Speaker 1: gift with a great time. Don Cheto, as you said,
19:32
Speaker 1: serious films, but he is one of on set, one
19:36
Speaker 1: of the funniest people I've ever met in my life.
19:39
Speaker 1: He has an incredible sense of humor, a great heart,
19:43
Speaker 1: just great people, you know, and making the movie. We're
19:45
Speaker 1: in Detroit. By the way, I said this before, Detroit
19:48
Speaker 1: is changing. I mean they're really cleaning the city up.
19:52
Speaker 1: They're restoring the old, like, you know, the older historical
19:56
Speaker 1: buildings like churches, et cetera. And it was great to
20:00
Speaker 1: see the city come back to life and then move
20:03
Speaker 1: beyond that. It's like really some good things absolutely besides
20:06
Speaker 1: great food. Now we just said Don Cheetle and Matt
20:10
Speaker 1: David got really older than there. John Hamm Brendan Fraser,
20:15
Speaker 1: David Arbor. But you see what their toro? Come on now, man,
20:18
Speaker 1: that's a who's who, A great acting a lot of people.
20:23
Speaker 1: And you know when you're get in the room like
20:25
Speaker 1: that build because you know it's all like a good
20:26
Speaker 1: basketball team. You know, you could you see all these
20:28
Speaker 1: good basketball players. You want to make sure your free
20:30
Speaker 1: throws are right, your job shot right, you're grabbing the rebound.
20:33
Speaker 1: How do you approach that when you're in the scene
20:36
Speaker 1: with talented other people? Does A does a I gotta
20:39
Speaker 1: get my act together, I gotta make sure I'm on porn?
20:42
Speaker 1: Or do you do? You do? You do? You talk
20:44
Speaker 1: to him? But prior to a scene, how does want
20:46
Speaker 1: to approach that? If you're a young person breaking into
20:48
Speaker 1: the business, Well, if you're a young person making into
20:52
Speaker 1: the business, it's called show business. Business part is about
20:56
Speaker 1: relationships and so used to put your you know, Wayne
21:01
Speaker 1: Dyre says, every day we have one of two choices.
21:04
Speaker 1: If we can be a host to God or a
21:06
Speaker 1: hostage to our ego. Uh in this business, if you're
21:09
Speaker 1: hostage to your egos, some people get away with it,
21:12
Speaker 1: But for us as a culture, I think that's a
21:15
Speaker 1: bad idea. I think establishing relationships, uh, and honing your craft,
21:22
Speaker 1: because acting directing a craft, so it's writing le other
21:26
Speaker 1: people are out partying, you should be home studying, learning
21:30
Speaker 1: because when you party, you've accomplished something that's called the celebration.
21:35
Speaker 1: So the thing is is that we have to really
21:38
Speaker 1: start taking it seriously. Today we're saying before life came
21:43
Speaker 1: into business, there was no internet, there was no social media.
21:46
Speaker 1: Young people today, Yeah, pictures are important. But if you're
21:50
Speaker 1: an acting class that you all should be in it,
21:53
Speaker 1: and you're working on two or three scenes with other
21:55
Speaker 1: actors for the class, then what you should do is
22:00
Speaker 1: if you want to picture plus a reel film with
22:05
Speaker 1: your cell phone the scene that you're rehearsing, right, you
22:09
Speaker 1: can cut that scene on your computer right and edit
22:14
Speaker 1: so you don't have to wait to be discovered. You
22:16
Speaker 1: can you can discover your look a look at Easter
22:18
Speaker 1: for example, she started off with like you know, podcast
22:22
Speaker 1: and a web series that's well wepisodes and so did
22:27
Speaker 1: uh it's always sending in Philadelphia start off with webisodes,
22:31
Speaker 1: been on the air for nine years, so those people
22:34
Speaker 1: they stopped waiting to make any sense absolutely well. I
22:37
Speaker 1: think that when you when you look at about a
22:39
Speaker 1: lot of people do wait too long? They want that
22:42
Speaker 1: that I always tell people wait on a lottery. You
22:44
Speaker 1: know they were doing that opportunity. They really do. Think
22:47
Speaker 1: it works in Hollywood. You're gonna walk down the street
22:48
Speaker 1: and somebody gonna tap you on the shoulder. That is
22:50
Speaker 1: not high work. That's you may have heard that story,
22:53
Speaker 1: but that's what that's what that's like winning a lottery.
22:56
Speaker 1: There are people who tapping on the shoulder. Know that,
23:01
Speaker 1: you know who's going to tapping on the shoulder person
23:03
Speaker 1: to tell you get out the way because they want
23:04
Speaker 1: to get in front of you. Yeah, absolutely that gets
23:09
Speaker 1: tapped a lot That's a lot of people understand about entertainment,
23:12
Speaker 1: you know, because you know this for a factor are
23:15
Speaker 1: going in in in a movie like this. And let's
23:17
Speaker 1: give you a little bit more background on No Sudden Mood.
23:19
Speaker 1: It's a British story which takes place in nineteen fifty
23:21
Speaker 1: four and the racially charged Detroit. And we know Detroit
23:25
Speaker 1: has always been a community where where where the police
23:28
Speaker 1: has an issue it was black you know moretown. Was
23:32
Speaker 1: there a group of small time criminals who are hired
23:35
Speaker 1: on the mysterious circumstances to steal what they think is
23:37
Speaker 1: a simple document. They file up the master plan and
23:41
Speaker 1: guess what it all goes as they say, to hell
23:44
Speaker 1: and you include all these situations. So you have black
23:47
Speaker 1: people and white people try to work together in nineteen
23:50
Speaker 1: fifty four. Right there, that tells you it's gonna be
23:54
Speaker 1: intense because you know, you dealing with high levels of
23:58
Speaker 1: racial prejudice. And also a black people just came around
24:02
Speaker 1: like white people came back then. It's right, So how
24:06
Speaker 1: does what role do you play in all of this?
24:08
Speaker 1: Bill Douke, Well, you you so brilliantly and accurately described
24:13
Speaker 1: the conditions of the time. Uh and um. In those days,
24:22
Speaker 1: you had confrontations based upon race and social positions. So
24:31
Speaker 1: if you were black, you had to be able, as
24:34
Speaker 1: I said before, to be able to play chess in
24:36
Speaker 1: the chess games. So if they you know, had negotiators
24:40
Speaker 1: with them, you have to negotiate. If the negotiations didn't
24:44
Speaker 1: go well and they had guns, you had to have guns.
24:49
Speaker 1: So you know, you you could not negotiate with with
24:54
Speaker 1: someone who felt you were weak and unprepared. The only
24:59
Speaker 1: way you could negotiate with them, it's to look him
25:02
Speaker 1: in the eye and they understood the consequences of disrespecting you. Hm.
25:07
Speaker 1: So I played the head of the Black Game and
25:11
Speaker 1: we negotiate over some issues that I don't want to
25:14
Speaker 1: give away. Now give a movie away, but we are
25:18
Speaker 1: negotiators and they don't expect us to be that and
25:21
Speaker 1: they're surprised by it, but they do negotiate with us. Now,
25:25
Speaker 1: let let me know when you look at movies, because
25:27
Speaker 1: we've seen how covid has changed the game, and also
25:30
Speaker 1: streaming networks Netflix, Amazon, you know, Hulu, Disney Plus have
25:35
Speaker 1: changed the game. They opened in movies that were opening
25:38
Speaker 1: the theater, opening online and streaming and all they're doing
25:41
Speaker 1: the simul simulcast. They simulcastically, they like they were Cruella
25:46
Speaker 1: Crewella opening in the theater as well as our Disney
25:49
Speaker 1: Plus and in the premium network. Have you seen a
25:54
Speaker 1: change in the quality or it doesn't matter. They still
25:56
Speaker 1: producing the high quality movies even for streaming as well
25:59
Speaker 1: as for the big theaters. Some of them are high
26:02
Speaker 1: quality and some of them are not. Some people are
26:06
Speaker 1: giving cameras to make movies and they they've never studied directing,
26:11
Speaker 1: they've never studied writing or anything. Because of relationship they
26:14
Speaker 1: have with a relative, somebody who has money. But I
26:18
Speaker 1: I I still believe in people who take the time
26:23
Speaker 1: to study their discipline. But I'm not gonna say it's easy.
26:27
Speaker 1: It's not. But you have to know, you know, you
26:31
Speaker 1: have to read books. You know you have to you know,
26:35
Speaker 1: you you have to be able to understand structure, not
26:39
Speaker 1: only the structure of the movie, but what is character structure?
26:44
Speaker 1: You know, what is the beginning, middle, and end of
26:47
Speaker 1: a movie? What is the storyline? What is the character line?
26:50
Speaker 1: How do you hook people in emotionally to what you're
26:53
Speaker 1: talking about? Those are crafts and skills that should be studied,
26:57
Speaker 1: you know. And there are books at schools you can
26:59
Speaker 1: go to. UM. You know that. You know that. One
27:03
Speaker 1: of the great books Joseph Campbell's a Hero with a
27:06
Speaker 1: Thousand Faces. Even Steelberg, all those people use a hero
27:12
Speaker 1: of a thousand faces, and so do I. Another great
27:15
Speaker 1: book is a Machili The Five Season Cinematography. It's another
27:20
Speaker 1: It's another great book, you know. UM. Another great UH
27:24
Speaker 1: book is you know, Sun Super Wrothy Art of War.
27:30
Speaker 1: The The The War of Art is another great book.
27:34
Speaker 1: Talks about how we procrastinate and Nick excuses for not
27:40
Speaker 1: doing what we know we should be doing, and what
27:42
Speaker 1: are the patterns of that and how to get out
27:44
Speaker 1: of that. So studying our craft, studying things. I think
27:48
Speaker 1: it's very important for young people of company. Uh No
27:51
Speaker 1: sudden moves of talking to Bill Duke about the movie
27:53
Speaker 1: that premiers July one on HBO Max. Uh it's a
27:57
Speaker 1: great movie. We said in nineteen fifty four. It's about
28:00
Speaker 1: black people white people. You know they will know of
28:03
Speaker 1: video phones back there. You know, police violence still existed.
28:07
Speaker 1: It has existed all our lives as an African American.
28:10
Speaker 1: We know that. But when you look at what you've done.
28:12
Speaker 1: I talked about the Duke Media Foundation. I talked about that,
28:16
Speaker 1: but I always want to ship before we get off
28:18
Speaker 1: the air and talk about you unite Unite network that
28:22
Speaker 1: I believe starts July twenty one, but you say there's
28:25
Speaker 1: up and running June Tent. Talk about the purpose of
28:28
Speaker 1: that and why the importance of the Unite network. That's
28:32
Speaker 1: why unite. First of all, you will have the the
28:35
Speaker 1: page of the um of our of our efforts up
28:41
Speaker 1: in the mount June Tent, and in the first week
28:45
Speaker 1: in July we will have a really serious soft launch.
28:51
Speaker 1: And I'm putting a network together because I have children
28:55
Speaker 1: in my life. I have a god daughter, I have
28:57
Speaker 1: children that I love, god son sons, and I think
29:03
Speaker 1: we have responsibility to leave them something called hope. Right now,
29:09
Speaker 1: when you turn the news on, it's all bad. I mean,
29:12
Speaker 1: we're being divided in ways that We've always been a
29:16
Speaker 1: divided country racially et such a but now taking a
29:19
Speaker 1: whole other level with the COVID, with racism, with the
29:23
Speaker 1: politics we're being divided in. Division is only going to
29:27
Speaker 1: leave chaos for our children. So I in my network
29:32
Speaker 1: instead of the bad news on the negativity, but we
29:35
Speaker 1: report are all the good things that are happening in
29:38
Speaker 1: this world. There are people around the world that are
29:41
Speaker 1: doing great. There's a program and I wish people watch
29:44
Speaker 1: it once a year on CNN called CNN Heroes. If
29:48
Speaker 1: you're it's a show about individuals who are doing good
29:54
Speaker 1: and that's what should be reported. So I have a
29:57
Speaker 1: network that really is devoted to leave hope for our children,
30:01
Speaker 1: to give them a historical context of all the sacrifices
30:06
Speaker 1: that have been made so they could be here today
30:07
Speaker 1: and do what they do. And so we have a
30:10
Speaker 1: number of different programs on the network. I have the
30:13
Speaker 1: support from people that Anthony Anderson, centric, the Entertainer Um,
30:18
Speaker 1: a lot of good folks, and so we're launching it
30:22
