00:00:00.000 Wes Moore.
00:00:00.800 You said you were a fan of Wes Moore.
00:00:03.620 Baltimore.
00:00:04.460 We grew up together.
00:00:06.320 I met Wes, Jesus, what, 20, 26, 27 years old.
00:00:10.760 So he's from here.
00:00:12.400 Or you were saying you grew up in Maryland.
00:00:13.900 I got to Baltimore in 19.
00:00:16.960 I met Wes that same year.
00:00:19.640 What was he doing then?
00:00:20.720 Actually, running around, Baltimore coming to games.
00:00:25.460 That's when we was like, I think one of the first pitches we had
00:00:28.060 with Johnny Unitas and the guys was on the field a few times.
00:00:32.500 And then we kind of just always stayed in contact from that standpoint.
00:00:38.200 And then, yeah.
00:00:40.300 And so you would see a lot of pitches with me and him
00:00:43.420 and sitting with each other and hanging out at the games.
00:00:47.220 What was he doing then?
00:00:48.040 I mean, if you met him at 90, so you guys are a couple years apart.
00:00:52.740 What was he doing?
00:00:54.760 What job did he have?
00:00:55.820 Was he into politics or not yet?
00:00:57.460 Not yet.
00:00:58.240 Okay.
00:00:58.560 Not yet.
00:00:59.060 Yeah, I think he got it.
00:00:59.680 That came later on.
00:01:00.060 Yeah, I think, yeah, definitely came later on.
00:01:02.960 Got it.
00:01:03.480 Yeah.
00:01:03.760 And did you know right off the bat there was something special about this guy?
00:01:06.560 Like, did you feel it?
00:01:07.660 Does he?
00:01:08.120 Yeah.
00:01:08.680 Yeah, his energy, his energy is incredible.
00:01:12.200 His faith is even better.
00:01:13.840 But who he is as a person, I adore him.
00:01:17.480 Wes.
00:01:18.080 Yeah, he's just one of those guys.
00:01:21.340 Politically, I think you one time, you and Jim Brown went to the White House.
00:01:25.940 You were with Trump.
00:01:26.800 Got fried.
00:01:27.360 You got fried.
00:01:27.960 Yeah.
00:01:28.480 You got fried.
00:01:29.520 That's back then when you would get fried.
00:01:31.280 Today, you won't get fried.
00:01:32.200 But back then, I mean, it was the first term.
00:01:34.420 I got, we got fried for simply an accident.
00:01:37.220 I wanted to ask him one question.
00:01:38.800 And this is when he was president, president-elect at the time.
00:01:42.920 And when I went up there, I said, Papa, I'm following you.
00:01:45.940 So whatever we're going to do, let's do it.
00:01:48.700 And I said, and he says, what was the first question you wanted to ask me?
00:01:52.580 And I said, I want to ask a personal question.
00:01:55.480 I'm going to get fried either way.
00:01:56.480 So let me just get this out of the way.
00:01:58.340 Is there a plan that you have in place to help black communities?
00:02:07.740 You need to talk to my sister, Amorosa, and then let's talk about that later.
00:02:15.120 I ain't got an answer since.
00:02:17.980 So, yeah.
00:02:19.020 You did a lot for the black people.
00:02:21.520 Yeah, that's right.
00:02:22.780 I wanted to know.
00:02:23.840 You may have influenced us the question.
00:02:26.280 I wanted to know.
00:02:27.760 Got it.
00:02:28.380 Right?
00:02:28.820 He asked me and Jim, he said, did any one of y'all vote for me?
00:02:31.900 Absolutely not.
00:02:33.580 He asked you that?
00:02:35.200 Absolutely.
00:02:36.360 Me and Jim said at the same time, absolutely not.
00:02:39.780 No.
00:02:40.560 But I, because of what Jim started,
00:02:45.160 and me being mentored by Jim for about 15 plus years,
00:02:49.760 to see what he's done with the Maricock program,
00:02:53.640 it's similar to my solar program.
00:02:55.700 It's similar to everything that, why I go in prisons,
00:02:59.260 why I help all the communities the way I do,
00:03:01.220 why I give back so much,
00:03:02.720 why I have a new locker room, right?
00:03:05.620 That's just, it's much bigger and more personal
00:03:09.620 when it talks to like human development and mental health
00:03:14.020 and all these different things that people are going through.
00:03:16.680 And so when Jim introduced me to that side of life,
00:03:21.520 like everything changed for me.
00:03:23.640 You know, because he started to understand,
00:03:25.720 like I go in prisons and 50% of the prisons hate me
00:03:29.120 and 50% love me.
00:03:30.980 Why do they hate you?
00:03:31.820 Why would 50% hate you?
00:03:32.800 Because 90% of them say things that,
00:03:37.500 it's everybody else's fault where you are, right?
00:03:42.100 Like it's somebody else.
00:03:42.940 If somebody else had a similar situation or whatever,
00:03:45.860 yeah, it turns it into being whatever it is.
00:03:48.580 But that's life though.
00:03:50.040 What's going on everyone?
