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.
