00:00Over here at THR's social impact summit, there's someone who has never been afraid to scoop their voice.
00:06You just people know the Dodgers before, saying silent on the immigration race.
00:11I would like to know, like, how do we continue to put pressure on one of these organizations to, like, speak up and do what's just a little bit.
00:20I don't, I don't think we're going to do it as a rule.
00:24I think that if you're going to do it, there's so much information.
00:28I don't really know what some people's words, you know.
00:30So, you can represent one way and then we're going to know.
00:33So, I think economically and financially, you know, support the things that you're going to do.
00:40I think that's what you're going to do.
00:44What are the conversations in your circle right now with your family about, like, what's going on in the future?
00:50Yeah, I think that there's people that are, I mean, we're confused and mostly they're afraid.
00:58So, they're afraid of your work.
01:00They're afraid to get together.
01:02They're afraid to, you know, the regulations or whatever people get together.
01:06That would just be a normal thing, but they're afraid.
01:09And the fact that, you know, they're so violent in the way that they're aggressively attacking people that,
01:17you know, the most better, decent, you know, hardworking people really don't want any attention.
01:24They just want to be working with their lives.
01:27And I started working on their background now.
01:29How do we support and lift up a community that's always been so strong and resilient?
01:33But, of course, you know, the people who are out of time, if they wanted to,
01:37who are having other things that may have been stood in the way.
01:40I'm sure that there's a lot of good news.
01:42They've brought new history's openings in the house.
01:44Do you think it's openings?
01:45It's about to you.
01:46It's about to you.
01:47It's about to you.
01:48It's about to you.
01:49It's about to you.
01:50Anybody wants to do that.
01:51You've got to be free to apply.
01:52What?
01:53And then, last question.
01:54What is the message that you feel people need to hear right now,
01:57and what can we expect from your keynote?
01:59It's not a time to go silent.
02:01It's a time to be more pleasant.
02:03It's a time to make reports of what the pressure's going on.
02:06It's kind of cool.
02:07Thank you so much.
