So I'm praying at this moment in time that

We navigate the current crisis that the important objectives are achieved of eliminating the terrorists and their threats, and then allowing the leaders who are focused on giving their citizens and their neighbors the opportunity to live a better life are able to work together and really dream and be ambitious and find ways to create a paradigm where humans can flourish.

what is the best way to defeat hate in the world hate is is a very powerful force and it's much easier to hate people you don't know um it's funny when i was working on prison reform one of the most interesting people i met was a reverend actually down in texas who negotiated the first

between the Bloods and the Crips, two of the notorious gangs in America in prison.

And I was very excited to meet him.

And when I met him, I said, well, how'd you do it?

he said it's very simple he says i got all the guys together and i i had a tremendous amount of barbecue brought in he says and i got the meeting says no drinking says drinking sometimes gets people a little bit more against each other he says but i got a meeting and they started sitting down together and they started saying you know what you're just like me and all of a sudden they started finding areas where they were more together yeah look i've traveled all over the world now i've

I've been very fortunate to meet people from different states in America.

I've different political persuasions, different ages, different classes.

And what I found is that there's a fundamental driving amongst all of us where we all want to live a better life.

And

People don't want to fight naturally, but it's easy to fight when you feel wronged or you feel like somebody disrespected you or somebody did something from hatred.

And hatred leads to more hatred, which sometimes just pushes that cycle further and further.

So I believe that each and every one of us has the power to stop that cycle.

And we don't do it by being on Twitter and yelling at people.

We don't do it by just being critical.

We do it by finding the people we disagree with, by listening to them, by asking questions, by sitting with them.

And then if we each take responsibility to try to make the world better, then I think that there's no limits to the incredible place that this world can be.

i do believe that yeah and you have some bad people i mean you have some real evil people i mean a big part of the work i did was on uh prison reform and you know previously the mentality was is that the prison should basically be a warehouse for human trash and if you've made a mistake in this world then you know we're going to throw you out and we're going to make the rest of your life incredibly difficult because you can have a criminal record you're not going to have access to jobs

But what I found is when I would sit with people in prison, the people I met through my father's experience and who I met along the way is that people make mistakes.
