So you've kind of like started turning things up again. You trying to get pregnant? No, I'm not. No, I'm not. Not even if I could, would I? So it's been another crazy week. I mean, every week is crazy for us, folks. Every week's crazy for us. It's gotten to the point now to where you're messaging me saying, do you know where you are on this week? Or I've got to go do this, which is kind of a little bit crazier than what we're used to yeah because we're normally all together doing stuff yeah and now you're leaving to go out of the country with savannah to do a show right i'm leaving going to do another show in england yes and so we're going to be apart from each other for like 21 days and filming and filming independently so that's not something that we've really i mean savannah's filmed a few things you know on her own um but we really haven't Ventured out that way. And it's giving me some anxiety because I know how bad you're going to miss me. Well, sure I will. Yes. Yeah. And I'll miss you. Yeah. I mean. But you'll hold the fort down, you and Chloe. I'll be in London. You'll be back by the time we get Eileen. I don't know. I may not. Yeah. You got to take care of her and get her to school every day. Well, but I kind of feel like that it's going to come out in the news that I'm a member of the royal family. Okay. Well, I don't think so. So. um i got nanny fae on speed dial though just in case but i mean i do want her to go to school for 21 days not be out every day and the chance if i was here for 21 days we missing some of them days um but so that is going to be a big deal because i mean we're going to be away from each other for 21 days yeah yeah so i am already kind of getting into that uh planning mode like um because you have to do wardrobe they sent a um kind of a you know packing list to go by you know just like a rough list so yeah so that gives me anxiety yeah because you actually have to have what is it 66 outfits or what is it three outfits a day and you're gone for 21 days no i don't know that i have to have that but i've got to have a lot so i don't know three a day but well you have a you have dinner every night yeah and then a daytime and a daytime and then you have an activity well yeah i guess you're right so yeah so it's like 60 i calculated 60 outfits uh well probably not gonna happen but it'll be close you can't duplicate well if i you know it is what it is well you'll she'll be with savannah so it'll be fine it'll be fine but i that does make me a little nervous because you know we're used to filming in our home close by to our home that we can like run in and change clothes or do whatever if something goes awry you know so um i mean not that we haven't filmed on locations because we've been on trips and and things with chrisley knows best right but uh this is a whole different ball game i got a feeling it is i'm trying to figure out if i'm going to take chase with me or if i'm going to take grayson with me because grayson's in school but Grayson said but I can miss those days you know I can zoom into my class or whatever and Chase is like but I can go I mean that I will go you and I'll hang out together so maybe you split it up based off of how long you're going to be there and what Grayson can do and he'll go come for a few days and then Chase will come for a few days or vice versa right so we've got all that going on then you've got to jump straight into your cooking segments right we've got to get those finished. And then Chase and I go straight into the show that he and I are doing. So it's just going to be a crazy, it's going to be a crazy summer and spring. Yep. So, but listen, we're not complaining. No, we're blessed to be, we're blessed to be stressed. So, um, so much stuff is going on in the country right now. And have you been getting DMS, uh, about the fact that we're not coming out speaking about ICE or not defending. If I did, I hadn't seen them. I don't really. Well, you know, I do spend, you know, at least an hour or so a day. Yeah, you do. You know, scrolling and checking and responding to people because I'm thinking it's about the prisons or whatever. Right. But I have gotten several messages saying I'm unfollowing you because your silence is deafening. Okay. Unfollow me. I don't have to comment. Well, I think it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. And I don't need to comment on everything that you think I need to comment on. Right. And you know where I stand with this whole situation. And you know the conversations that I have on the phone with people in D.C. and all over the country about where I stand on certain things. But I don't need to tell you unless I want to. Right. And at the end of the day, it's your social media. It's my social media. What I choose to discuss and put out there is just that, what I choose. Right. I'm not going to be held hostage for anybody, for the world to think, well, she needs to discuss this or she needs to talk about this or not talk about that. It's irrelevant. We don't even need to be talking about it here because if we're not talking about it, we're not talking about it. Right. But I think I am going to talk about it today because that is, I brought up that I'm getting these messages. You know, I feel like that I've already talked about it on the podcast and in other things where I have said that I don't believe I don't believe in children being separated from their families. I don't believe in abuse. I don't believe that in any I don't like to see any of that. Right. Do I think that ice could be handled differently and could be done in a in a way that is more compassionate? Yes, I do. Do I think it's like what people say? If you are arguing with a crazy person, the person on the outside, they don't know who the crazy one is. That's right. You know what I'm saying? It kind of goes back to that whole thing. If you are on the outside looking in and you are as aggressive and you're as loud and you're as whatever as the other person. I'm on the outside. I don't know which one of you is crazy and which one of you is not. Right. And, you know, my thing is, is that, you know, do I think that we should abolish ICE? No, I don't. It's been here since 9-11. Do I think do I believe in free borders? No, I don't. There is a we have immigration laws in place. Do I believe that immigrants should be allowed to come into the United States of America if done so the right way? The to me, I guess that where I have a lot of issue is the hypocrisy of it, because you and I went to prison and we went to prison for taxes. tax evasion, which now has been proven that there was no tax evasion and for bank fraud. Now, that's what we were convicted of, even though we've now been pardoned, even though the investigation has now shown that that didn't happen. Everyone was so quick and I should say everyone, but a lot of people were so quick. You're convicted. You did this wrong. So you're this. It's just baffling to me that. the same people that would nail us to the cross are the same ones that think that people should be okay just do it yeah everybody's talking about weight loss injections because the results are so dramatic they work by lowering blood sugar and reducing appetite so if you're looking to lose weight but not interested in painful weekly injections especially when you hear about some of those intense side effects well that's why doctors created a weight loss supplement called lean and the results are remarkable.

Yeah, that's not right. I said, this is not right. This, we're way off and where we need to be with this. Right. And, you know, I think it's tragic that anyone has lost a life and there's not an excuse for it. You know, there really just isn't because I feel like that the thing with the mother in the car. Good. Yeah. I forget what her first name is, but good. You know, don't paint it for what it's not. Right. You know, your right to protest, you don't have a right to block the streets in your car, and you don't have the right to use your vehicle, whether you've got something, oh, it was not going to happen, she was trying to accelerate it. And then you've got the video that shows that the vehicle lunged at him. I hate for the children that their mother is not here. Right. because I read where the father of her child had died the year before so now this child has no parents now no living parents so where is the win there she was married to a woman She was not married to the woman They identified as being married but they had not legally married Okay. She's wrong again. This is twice I got her. So they were not married. Gotcha. They identified as partners. But either way, this child now has no living parent. Right. Yeah. And for what? Yeah. And for what? You can't expect the country to be more sympathetic to your child if you're not. Right. Well, because it's just like when you have children, you have to or I know for me, I'm just going to speak for myself. When I made that conscious decision to have children at that point, it was no longer about me. It was about them. And I had to make sure that I was doing the very best by them, that I was keeping them safe, that I was also keeping myself safe so that I was in a position to be able to take care of them. So I think you have to I think people just make such irrational. Well, I think people make emotional decisions. Yes. Yes. Because I think that the people that protest for the right reasons, I think that they they do it because they're emotional about something. They feel a certain way about something. Things that you're passionate about. Right. Yeah. Tends to to cloud your judgment. Right. Exactly. And that's and that's not just that's not a political thing. That's an everyday life. That's a human thing. Yeah. But so now this child has no biological appearance. It's alive all because of something that could have been prevented on both sides. Yes. Then you've got this. Is it pretty pretty or whatever that the nurse that was shot? all these times we were there lying on the bed when this whole thing hit the news and folks, it hit me so hard. I looked at you and I said, this is wrong. We can't be doing this now. Did it take that many to take one man down? No. Right. I mean, to me, I grew up in South Carolina, A fair fight's a fair fight. I mean, you put two guys together and beat the shit. Well, one's going to get shit beat out of them. And that guy wasn't big enough to where it took all these guys to be on him. The one ICE guy should have just put him on the ground, put handcuffs on him and threw his ass in the car. But that should have happened a week before when he was kicking out the taillight of a government vehicle that your tax dollars pay for and spitting at an ICE officer. He should at that point, had he been arrested that day, he would have been in jail. It may have saved his life. Yeah. So, you know, I look at the hypocrisy on both sides, because how are we going to say as an American, because you and I were born here. I have said for 20 years that this country has benefited off of the labor of immigrants. Right. It was built off of the back of immigrants. Right. And it's just hard for me. it's just hypocritical that you know if we're going to a Mexican restaurant but we're saying that Mexicans can't be here we're not saying Mexicans can't be here we're saying or I'm not not we we're not saying shit but what's the message is you can come here legally you can't come here illegally right how does the left side argue with all of these men and these violent offenders that have flooded our country that ice is detaining now and shipping them out of this country right you know and it was i saw on the news where all these uh children had been rescued like missing and exploited children it was it was like over 150 something thousand yeah It was so many. And like, okay, that's a positive. Now, listen. But what have they gone through? One doesn't negate the other. Loss of life is loss of life. And just because it's helped in this way and then we have the loss of life, it doesn't. No, because. Because it's still a bad thing. But I think it goes back to, and we've talked about this so many times, just with our situation, how the system is just broken. you know everything about everything about it we just maybe haven't good intentions or the right but it's just the follow-through and it just either it just seems to to go completely left or completely right well that i think that that's i think that the reason for largely a lot of the reason for that is is the incessant need on both sides to be right and to have upmanship. Yes. Yeah. I love you. It's full of one-uppers. Yes. Everybody wants to one-up somebody and it is crazy. I mean, I look at it that I love you for who you are. Now, if you just look at our friend group, I mean, we cover just about, I mean, our friend group could be a Benetton ad. We don't have these kind of, now all of us, all of us don't agree on everything. Right. But we all still sit down at a table and have a dinner. We have conversations on the phones. We have had relationships that have suffered and relationships that are no more that have largely been due to a political divide, whether it's just a separation, whether it's just a little more distance. But those relationships was not due to anything we said or done and did. it was over the fact that Savannah and President Trump, Trump signed our pardon. Right. And therefore, OK, well, they're MAGA. We're staying away from that. Right. Yes, we've had some of that. This episode is brought to you by Booking.com.

Um, and I said, and this person had been in prison too. I said, listen, you were in prison with the same people I was in prison with every walk of life. We had people from Mexico. We had people from Puerto Rico. We had people from Africa, like Africans. We had Americans. We had African Americans. We, I mean, you name it. They were there, right? Asians, Europeans, everywhere. every walk of life we had people that were as left as you could possibly get to the left and as right as you could possibly get to the right but if i lined every one of those women roughly 200 women up and they were offered a pardon either way if it had been biden that gave them the pardon and they were as right wing as could be or if it was trump that gave them the pardon and they were as left as over here right they would have taken it with joy absolutely did would not have mattered So you can sit and say whatever, but until you're in that position, till you have walked in the shoes of these people, you can't say that. I mean, it's just crazy. Well, listen, I'm grateful to President Trump for everything that he did for us and for restoring our family. You don't have to agree with him in order to acknowledge that he is your president. Just like I didn't agree with Biden, but he was my president. I didn't come out here and talk about him. Or would I be disrespectful? No, because Obama or Clinton or Bush or whoever. I mean, I've just never, I don't know. And maybe it's because we did grow up in a different time where we were taught to respect a respect level. It's just like the American flag, the Bible, the president. You have certain things. Police. You just have respect for whether you agree 100 percent or not. And nobody ever agrees 100 percent. But I think there's a level of respect that's just supposed to be there. But don't you think that the reason that that respect has waned is due to all of those things you just said outside of the Bible and the flag? The Oval Office has been has exhibited disrespect from blowjobs of Bill Clinton to, you know, Biden being asleep at the wheel to, you know, whatever. people are saying that Trump, the Kennedy Trump Center, Trump and Kennedy Center to all of these things. We have to look at each other as if we are brothers and sisters. And until we can do that, listen, you can have a brother and a sister not like them, but they're still your brother and sister. Right. And you have to be able to show kindness and generosity of spirit. But I do think it starts It starts at the top and it just with everything starts at the top and works its way down. And when you see this, when you watch like the hearings and when they're in Congress. And they so disrespectful to each other And they so disrespectful to each other They are just nasty And I mean hollering and screaming and getting up and being dismissive And like you are running the country because yes it the president but it all these other branches of government and these people that make up these branches of government that really run the country And you can't even have a rational, respectful conversations with different political views or different ideas. It's crazy. And you know, and you and I both know that, you know, there are things that I get sideways with Savannah about, you know, that she believes one way and I believe another way on certain things. But that's my daughter and I love her. Right. And we're going to and we're going to always have that open dialogue to have this communication for me to be able to say what I believe. And she says what she believes and and go from there. And that I feel that that's the way it should be in business. It should be that way as a neighbor. It should be that way as a congregant. in a church. It should be that way with anyone you're having this dialogue with. It should be maintained as respectful. Now, if you were a Democrat, I'm a Republican or vice versa. And we're having this conversation. How do you ever reach me or I reach you if I'm constantly hurling insults? Right. Yeah. It's just not going to happen. Right. You know, you can sit on a talk show and, you know, you can talk about things that you don't know what the hell you're talking about but you need a talking point and you want to you want to align yourself with a certain demographic because that's what's watching your show then that's what you feed into kind of uh kind of like what happened at the grammys for sure i mean it was it was crazy i mean our friend jelly roll was on there so i did see that clip on instagram it was crazy you know because just first of all it's the grammys and there are i will not i will not take away from the fact that there are so many talented people that were in that room um you know music that we've loved forever new music that we've just been introduced to whatever it may be but why do they have to bring politics into it well i mean it's like what is the purpose of bringing politics into it you know it's like i mean i just don't understand you know there was one and she you know was talking about it whatever and it's like okay but girl you're living in a 14 million dollar house on land is this the weird-eyed girl it was as you said is uh stolen land okay that property you're on yep same same they determined it belonged to some native american tribe whatever i guarantee you in that 14 million dollar home that you have staff do you treat them well are they all legal you know it's just it's just the hypocrisy of it and you feel so strongly about helping somebody sell your 14 million dollars and imagine how many people you can take off the streets in la well i don't know i don't know if it would work in la because uh gabin was given 200 million dollars to handle the homeless and it's got a larger homeless population that's ever had after the two million it's just it's just hypocrisy because i just think that from you know for me and i'm when i'm looking at it that i don't want all of this divide i don't but anyway i think i think because we all talk about it so much more i didn't grow up really talking about politics like that you didn't grow up talking about politics like it's talked about now no um and i don't necessarily know that that was a good thing i think again there's a happy medium with everything but i think it's now just because and i think it's because of the media you know it's because of the news it's because of all that it seems like that's all that's piped in that's all you hear and there's so much more to this world than that well yeah and i mean my thing is is that we need to be looking at these men and women in congress you know that are sitting there that are acting this way and being belligerent and disrespectful and screaming and calling each other names and whatever and think to ourselves is that when they started they were their net worth was minus 12 500 and now it's 30 million 30 million yeah okay my thing is is that we're gonna get nowhere doing this it's like throwing kids into a room and if you're gonna sit down let them fight nothing's gonna be resolved right well and now the way that we're so divided is that you know everyone's talking about the midterms if it flips then all the work that's been done is going to flip to the complete opposite sides because we're at such a divide whereas if we had that gap a little bit less it wouldn't really make a huge difference whether you had a democrat or republican in the in control you know and so it's just this constant like so you guys know i am all about anything related to the kitchen and cooking and nothing makes kitchen duty any worse than having bad pots and pans those non-stick pans that don't get hot enough so the food doesn't cook evenly and not to mention that the coating scratches and wears out fast it really is unsafe but with hex clad you can finally have the performance of stainless steel and the convenience of non-stick in one pan.

Okay, I want to take a minute to share something really important to me, and that's Good Girl RX, a female-focused health and wellness company created by my daughter, Savannah. As women, we so often put everyone else first and ignore our own health, or we're just told to push through instead of being truly listened to. What I love about Good Girl RX is that it's built around real medical care and compassion. Through their telehealth platform, women can meet virtually with licensed medical providers who take the time to review your health history and goals. If it's clinically appropriate, your provider may discuss personalized treatment options, including GLP-1 medications like terzepatide, as well as wellness therapies such as NAD. Everything is determined by a doctor and tailored to the individual. As a mother, it means everything to me that this company was created to help women feel supported instead of judged. Everyone's journey is different, results vary, and not everyone qualifies. But having access to licensed physicians who truly listen can make all the difference. If you're ready to take a step toward prioritizing your health, visit goodgirlrx.com and use code CONFESSIONS15 for 15% off at checkout. Medical care is provided by licensed physicians. we need to be electing people that are a that are good-hearted good people but that's really not what's happening on both sides i just said we need to be doing it's either they are so far here or so far here it's it's really crazy you know my level of help for someone is not governed off of what how you vote my level of help if i'm going to give you a hand in something it's because well no and i said this you know the the the work that you've done through the through the bureau prisons um which has been unbelievable i've never one time heard you say was this person a republican or a democrat or black or white or white or mexican or no hispanic or whatever you are you'd ever you have i've never heard you ask any of those questions because you don't care no because I sat there with, with men of every nationality and I watched them shed tears, just like I shed tears. I watched their heart break every day, just like my heart was breaking. I watched how they longed for their children the way I longed for my children or their spouse. And none of us, I never, the, the racism and the, um, disparity and the mistreatment within the Bureau of Prisons, that was, that was there. Right. Yeah. But it wasn't amongst the, it wasn't amongst the inmates. Right. Right. It was amongst the staff. I mean, I had every nationality that I became friends with. Right. But that was really no different than what I was before I went there. Right. And so it was easy to transition into that. Right. But I just think that stop covering it up. Stop sweeping it under the rug. Stop sitting out, stop going out here and using race and race baiting as an excuse for bad behavior. Right. Because I didn't see that. Right. And, you know, when you're sitting here, you're talking about slavery. I have never, ever made light of that. No. I have a child that is a child of color. And for all intents and purposes, this country that we live in, this world that we live in, will view her as a black female. Yes. So when we start talking about ICE and grabbing this person because they're brown or this person because they're black or whatever, those things we hear. Yeah. Those are things we see that we pay attention to. Yeah. And, you know, my it just comes down to a common sense and common courtesy. Well, that's what we have. We have none of either one. No. And so I want the world to be a better place as a whole. Right. Not just for us, because we've got less time on this earth to enjoy that than our children and our grandchildren. it's f it's left up to our generation to be able to lay that groundwork for a better world and a better world consists of all human beings not being hungry of all human beings being able to have a fair shot at a good life. A better world consists of all of us coming together to lift each other up until we can get past this upmanship of, oh, I live over here and you live over there and my house costs this than yours costs that, or my car costs this or that, or your clothes is better than my clothes. until we get to a place to where you find as much joy in clothing the homeless as you do clothing yourself Right. We will continue to have this divide. Right. And I don't want that. I don't want to be a part of that. Well, and to know that this world is big enough for everyone to have a place. That's right. And to everyone to have space. And I have always said this and I have lived by this my entire life. and I don't believe there's anybody that will ever say any different about me but I can honestly tell you I I want the best for people like I want people to succeed I want people to to have and be and grow and like I don't ever look and say well I don't want them to have that because I don't have that or I don't want them to be happy because I'm sad today that's I've just never and that's that's caused a lot of heartache for me and you've said that because you're like julie quit looking at things through rose-colored glasses people all people aren't good you know and and savannah had this saying in her house something about um when you expect people to have the same kind of you can't expect something of people when they don't have the same heart as you something like that that's a paraphrase of it but it really is so true but even though it has caused me heartache in my life i wouldn't change it i wouldn't change that that's a great thing because that means you're committed in who you are you know i i want i truly even even somebody that i don't have any you know same baby you say all the time like you don't like her you don't whatever that's not who you want with your kids or whatever but i don't want anything bad for them i want you just want them gone i want god to bless them and move them on and let them prosper and be happy and everything and I don't I can't sit here and say I wish ill will because I feel like that is such a um such a cancer well and not only that it's not it's not it breeds resentment anger and just it's not biblical and yeah and the bible tells you that you are to not find joy in your enemy's downfall right so and that's hard it is hard you know you know when you're let's go back to talking about the people in Congress. When you have people in Congress, they are there for the people. Yeah. But folks, that's not what's happening. They are there for them. Yeah. Look at their net worth. Look at what they're doing for them. Yeah. And they're using you as the catalyst for them. Yeah. It's crazy. And listen, and we're all for, we are entrepreneurs at heart. So we are all about you getting out here and you hustling and you doing what you, you know, doing the right thing to make a way for yourself and to be successful and everything. But some of this stuff is just so off kilter and so just makes no sense to me. And I mean, you know, like we know what it costs to live. We know we've made good salaries in our life and we know what it costs to live that way and how you amass these hundred million dollar fortunes off of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year. It just the math ain't math. Right. And if you're doing that, you need to teach your constituents that voted to put you there. Yeah. You need to teach them how to do it. Right. And lift them up. Right. It's just insane. when you because you know you know that i flip from one cable network to the other you know because i want different perspectives of right what i'm watching it's so bizarre to me that we can really go so deep within a philosophy that belongs to someone else yeah i don't I don't need to surrender my life to what you believe in. Yeah. I'm going to surrender my life to my Lord and Savior. I do think for a lot of people, it's their own inadequacies or their own, they don't feel worthy or they don't feel like their story is worth it. So they kind of cling to somebody else's, you know. Well, and I do think that it's that there is a large part of the voting population that will cling to one side or the other, not because they actually understand what they're voting for, but because the majority of the people, six people in a room, if five of them are voting red, you're the six that's going to vote red. If you're five in here voting blue, the six is going to vote. Right. Rather than to stop and look at why would I vote for this? Why would I vote for that? And I have voted, you know yourself, I have voted split tickets. Right. I vote for who I believe is going to do the best job for that particular position. And, you know, I have voted for Democrats. I voted for Republicans. But I do think it goes back to a lot of times, A, people aren't educated. So they just jump on a bandwagon and they really don't stop to take the time to understand what they're even voting for, what they believe in. Again, they're followers. So they're just path of least resistance. And it's just sometimes like they feel like they don't have that self-assurance to just make a decision and ride with it. You know, like a lot of people don't have that. They're fearful of rejection or whatever. And listen, a lot of people do things. We've talked about it many times because of circumstances that have happened in their life. So we're not saying we're not perfect. We know that there's all these different people that make this. I just said that to you the other day. We were standing in the living room when I said. But you don't know what that person's life experience has been that makes them view that situation the way they're. Exactly. Exactly. And I do think that's something that we don't talk about enough, you know. Well, we can't talk about it because no one cares about if someone's hurting. Right. They only care about their agenda being furthered. Right. And using someone else's pain to fuel their agenda. Right. And, you know, I didn't want to go down this rabbit hole, but I did take us down it. But this is for all of you that send me messages saying that if you're not going to if, you know, your silence is deafening. okay what did you gain by sending me that message what did you do what did you say because i went on your social media and you're baking a cake don't we talk about that now because i like to make a cake too i'm just saying that you don't get to expect of me what you are not doing for yourself speaking of that i had a new pound cake recipe that I tried last night. And it was amazing. It was this big. It was it was so pretty, but it wasn't perfect. So I didn't post it. So I'm going to I thought it was perfect again. I'm going to try it again and post it. But that's totally off topic. We just talked about baking a cake and it took me down that path. Don't come to us wanting us to be your mouthpiece when you don't know where we stand on anything. I am going to go on the record today and say that you need to get your math right because you're sitting here saying that I voted for President Trump. I wasn't able to vote. I was incapacitated. But I did vote for him the first time. No, we did not get to vote last election. And I voted for him the second time that he didn't win, right? Yeah. Yeah. And but don't construe or misconstrue what you believe I am or I am not, because you don't know what my heart consists of. You don't know the private conversations that I have or with whom. And I will say that I wish no harm on anyone. No, I don't wish ICE agents to be harmed. I don't wish protesters to be harmed. But what I will tell you the same way I would tell my children is that misery loves company. And you know why I have had no run ins with ice? My ass ain't been beat by ice because I ain't out there in the streets getting up in their faces, spitting, whatever. Do you know why? We're not having altercations with people in the press or in politics because we keep our business at home. we discuss what we want to discuss at home. We fund what we want to find. We donate to what we want to donate to. And I don't have to come out here and tell you when I've had sex with my wife or when I disciplined one of my children or the last time I went to church or who I voted for. Just know I'm doing all of those things and I'm keeping them private. I know that God has been so good to us. You know, do you find and we've talked about this before, I find so many times a week that I have flashbacks to different scenarios when I was there at the camp. To where I question, God, where are you? And now where I am today, I realize that he was right there with me the whole time. Do you ever have those moments? Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. it's hard to see it when you're in the middle of it when you're in that fight you feel like that fight every day of just getting through um but absolutely i have absolutely well i mean you know i i look at i was talking to another gentleman the other day and i told him i said let me tell you something brother i said when you're when you're in the battle it's hard to see the other side it's hard to see the win it's hard to see the survival not just a prison thing that's in life If that's any Bible that you're in, it's hard to see. Okay, there is, there's light. That's right. There's light in that tunnel. I just got to find it. And, you know, as I've said for years, you know, and you've picked this up as well, every storm runs out of rain. The sun's going to shine again. It will come up and you will feel it on, you will feel that sun hit you again. and and the flip side of that is nanny faye says the sun don't shine on the same dog's ass always so on that note right there folks i think that's a good way to close the sun don't shine on the same dog's ass always so until the next time good luck and god bless pluto tv has thousands of free movies and tv shows you swear if i'm mine i'm done This is the mindset.
