Yeah, good morning, everyone.

Thank you for having me.

I think we all play a role in this moment.

And the role that I think I'm playing is, sure, I get to go on CNN a couple nights a week and speak my truth and tell the truth and try and stop misinformation.

But I also think the power that we have is we need to be building some infrastructure.

So when Rev, you talk about going into the street, who's going to tell the story?

Our story.

Somebody will tell it.

The question is how they will tell it and who will tell it.

And ownership allows us to tell it our way.

And when monetization, meaning we live in a capitalist society, when people make money off our story, we get to bring it back into our community and improve our community.

So the reason why it was divine timing, literally, we closed the deal in six weeks.

We bought the public.

We got it.

It was God's assignment for me in this moment to own the route and to own other publications because this is the first, not the last, because we know

When I just so happened to be in L.A.

the day Don was arrested, I'm the owner, but I was on my knees filming Don because we have to tell the story.

I was like, what are you doing here?

And I was like, we ride at Don.

And for Don.
