Transcript
00:00Nice to meet you.
00:01Okay, so Meek's case is one out of many similar cases,
00:05and he was in the spotlight, and even that didn't really help his case.
00:10What can people who aren't in the spotlight at all
00:13and want to help people that are facing situations like that do?
00:18Well, one thing that everybody should do is go to ReformAlliance.com.
00:22That's the organization that Meek Mill and Michael Rubin have started.
00:25I'm the CEO of that organization,
00:27and we're fighting to make sure this never happens to anybody else.
00:30We need people to sign up. We need people to get involved.
00:33We're not asking for money.
00:33We're just asking for your voice and for your commitment.
00:36ReformAlliance.com is a good first step.
00:38Absolutely, and it's actually really surprising,
00:41but also nice to see some people like Kim Kardashian come out of the woodworks
00:45and support causes like this, which you might not expect.
00:47What do you think about her support there?
00:51What do you think about Kim's support there?
00:53I love Kim Kardashian.
00:55I'm sorry. That was a weird thing.
00:57Take two.
00:59I love Kim Kardashian.
01:00I've got a chance to work with her side-by-side,
01:03literally from the jailhouse to the White House.
01:05She is sincere.
01:07She is tough as nails.
01:08She is a very good advocate,
01:10and more people like Kim should speak up.
01:13And then one more thing.
01:15Donald Trump spoke out in support of ASAP,
01:17and that also really took people by surprise.
01:20Do you think that was coming from a genuine place,
01:22or do you think he's looking for some approval ratings there?
01:26Look, I haven't talked to the president about ASAP's case,
01:29but listen, Trump has spoken out and done things about other cases as well,
01:33so it didn't surprise me when he spoke out.
01:35The reality is, unfortunately,
01:37he doesn't have a lot of control over that legal system,
01:39so we're just going to continue to push Trump to do more for this legal system
01:42to do a better job.
01:44But listen, when Trump speaks out in a positive way,
01:46I say good.
01:47Kim Kardashian, good.
01:49When people do the right thing, great.
01:51Hit them when they're wrong,
01:52but support them when they're right.
01:54Love that.
01:55Thank you so much, Mr. Jones.
