Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:04):
Welcome back, y'all.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
This is Jeff Luna and the Love for one Another Podcast,
and I want to welcome you back to music life
and how.

Speaker 1 (00:14):
We navigate through it all together.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
No, we do not talk about hate here, but we
do not act like we are.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
Blind to those filled with hate.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So strap yourself in as we take this musical journey
and learn to have love, love for one another, one another,
one another. Welcome back. This is Jeff with Love for

(01:10):
one Another podcast. I hope you're all doing good out
there today and had yourself a nice weekend. Unfortunately, it's
hard to have a nice weekend when there's so many
things happening in the world.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:28):
I saw something that kind of was interesting. The President
said that all of this craziness and uh and crimes
or whatever needs to stop immediately. And it made me think,
because you know, right now, we're living in a time

(01:53):
which we've lived in before, and let's not act like
it like we haven't had these kind of times before.
But right now we're stoking the flames.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
You know, a lot of.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
A lot of things that are happening, and instead of
calling for unity and compassion and people coming together, it
seems like our leaders are telling us to be even
more separated to something's gonna happen, Like you know, when
the whole Charlie Kirk thing happened, they were really promoting

(02:26):
like like some like you guys didn't know what you
just created, and and we're gonna come and get you
and things are gonna happen. And it really makes you
think because I saw his wife was say out there
and say, oh, she forgives him. But yet they were
talking about like if you forgive the guy, but that

(02:49):
killed him. But yet you went on the speech about
you don't know what you've started, and and then other
people come on and to talk about like that you
guys are nobody and I.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Don't know who they're talking about. Who are they talking.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
To to bring up all that stuff. So you have
a lot of people that not only followed the dude,
but then you have leaders that decided to have this
big memorial.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
And in the memorial there.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Was a lot of hate speech, which is I guess
kind of matches the guy.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I know they liked him or whatever, But.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
If you listen to stuff, it's really a lot of
a lot of negative stuff and a lot of pushing
people separating any mixed in different things in there or whatever.
But you know, I've listened to quite a bit and
I still don't. It didn't change my mind. But we're
stoking the flames and the people that we should be

(03:57):
counting on to lead us and to say, hey, guys,
we need to calm down a little bit, like everybody
just chill out. You want to put it in basic terms,
chill out for a minute, like we all need to
come together in this time instead of if you had
that many people listening, then that many people following, then

(04:21):
you really should have taken the opportunity to push for
a better solution. Then we're coming to get you, and
you don't know what you've done, and you just on
and on and on, and then there was this whole
rant from Steve Miller that.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
That was like, man, I've.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm just like, we've divided this country, which it's it's
always been divice. I've talked about this before, but now
it's it's us against you, and we are really, to
be honest with you, We're really headed in a direction
of what could be considered a civil war, and I

(05:02):
don't know if it's going to be the same as
what you would think it is. But I think we're
kind of in it already, like this was inevitable, it's coming,
and we don't have nothing to We don't have any
any actual people leading that are going to tell you like, hey, guys,
we don't need to do this, like let's calm down.
And I think that they want it to happen for

(05:23):
some reason. I don't understand the reason why, but anyway,
So that's one of the things I wanted to mention
this morning, this afternoon, love for one another.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
We're going to take a quick.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Break and I'll be right back and then we'll talk
about a.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Few things and we are back. Thank you for listening.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
We got listeners all over the country and in India.
And if this takes off like it did before, we
should be spreading spreading the love.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Whatever it might take. And that's a great thing, right.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
We are here to try and figure these things out together.
It is a difficult road. It is not a simple answer,
and I don't pretend to have the answer, but together
I think we can get through some maybe try and
figure some things out together. If you notice when I
talk about things, I don't pretend to have the answer.

(06:28):
I just want to try and figure it out because
I think there's a better way.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Right now.

Speaker 2 (06:33):
We are headed down a dangerous road and it could
just be another time.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
Like anything.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
If you look out throughout history, we've had a lot
of things that come up and we get through it.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
We make it.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Through it as people because usually we have whether you
agree with the government or not, and we usually don't write.
Their policies are never that great. It's we always in
a pain more. Let's just face it as a society,
we're always going to be paying. Like all this stuff
about making all this the government's making all this money.

(07:10):
I wouldn't get too excited about that because it's not us.
It's just not. It's never going to be and that's
just a fact.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
So what do we do.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
I mean, do we get mad at each other and start,
you know, pitchforking each other? I mean this it can't
lead down that road because let's face it, we all
have children, we all have families, we all live our lives,
we all pay our taxes, and we just want to
get by. We only got a few years, man, I
know it seems like a long time, but it's really not.

(07:43):
It's only a little bit of time, and in this
short amount of time, we need to see, we need
to learn this. It's it's this very simple subject, right,
It's something that's not It doesn't seem hard. It seems like, oh,
that's an easy thing, I can do that. But what
happens along the way. We got bills to pay, we

(08:05):
got jobs to keep, we got people telling us things,
we got people hating on you all the time, and
this and that going on. So we get a lot
of these distractions that come at us. And it's coming
from the right, from the left, from the top, from
the bottom. We have a lot of stuff that happens
that we can't control. But you know what you can control.

(08:26):
You can control your own life. You can control the
way you feel and the way you think and your
reactions and how you feel about other people. Because you
take away everything, you take away, the money you take away,
the cars you take away, the material, you take away,
everything you could take away, the shoes on your feet.
But the one thing that always stays is we are

(08:50):
here with other people. You know, this isn't a twilight
zone where you're gonna walk out the door and everybody's
gonna be gone. Now, there is always the possible ability
of something tragic happening and you just happen to get
left here and maybe half the population's gone. But that

(09:10):
could mean war, that could mean some type of tragedy,
and that could also mean you know, biblical if you
really feel that that's what's coming.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
So what do we do? What do we do?

Speaker 2 (09:23):
In a process? There isn't no I'm not going to
sit here and say, well, you should have done this,
and you should have done that. There's a lot of
things I should have done that I still don't do today.
But along the way, I'm learning and I feel that
we can all do the same thing. I'm not saying
you got to do exactly what I do. I am not,

(09:44):
you know, but I think the one simple thing that
might help you is to say, you know what, I
gotta stop hating on people.

Speaker 1 (09:55):
Man.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
There's a lot of things out there right now that
are pushing you to say I don't like this person
because they are transgender. I don't like this person because
they're gay, or certain ethnicity or they come from a
certain place. That's an easy thing to solve. You just

(10:17):
stop doing that. What is it that drove you to
that place? Is it the way you grew up. Is
it the way that maybe you were taught that, Is
it something they did to you? Because that's what I
think you really need to look at. And I look
at the same thing. How has any of these people
affected my life in some negative way? If you want something,

(10:43):
you go get it.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Now.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
There's plenty of things to get in our way, plenty
of things, and there's some things that make it very difficult.
Let's face that this country is not built on making
things easy, especially for minorities. But I know for sure,
I'm not going to blame somebody else for my laziness

(11:05):
or for my lack of trying. Now, if I go
and keep crying and something happens, I'm going to try
and figure something out to get around that. I don't
want to blame somebody. You know, the more we blame people,
the more it holds us back. Now, there's been things
throughout history that could have changed things. There's certain groups

(11:26):
of people that did get reparations that changed their lives.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It really did.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
It made things a lot, you know, and they were
treated a certain way, but they also they did get
the reparations. No, that doesn't fix history, but that does
give you an opportunity, right, and some people were never
offered that opportunity to trust me. I know we weren't,

(11:54):
and I know I could tell you some other races
that weren't neither. So so it's you know, we can
go down there, I wrote, And I understand that that
feeling and that.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
That it makes it hard.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
To succeed when right out the gate you're already being
held back. So along the way, we got to find
a place in our in our system and how we
how we control what we do to say you know what.
I yeah, I am upset about that, but I'm not

(12:31):
gonna let that stop me.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
And then you're gonna have.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
People saying, see, that's all you had to do. No,
that isn't all I had to do. You don't understand
how hard this is. But the more I blame, the
more it's gonna hold me back. So without trying to
make it sound like oh that it was such a
simple answer. You got to dig out from the trenches
and you gotta work hard, and that's why a lot

(12:54):
of people that do do that start getting certain feelings,
you know. But one of the feelings we had try
and calm down is blaming other people and it happens
with every race, and it happens with everybody, and you
want to blame and blame and blame and say that
these people are holding me back, but yet nobody is.

(13:18):
How did they I've asked this question a lot of times.
Tell me how the certain demographic of people that you
don't like or that you want gone, or that you
don't want to stand there, or that you feel that
they should they should just be quiet. Tell me how
they've affected your life.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
In one way or another.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
And then even if they did, why is it that
you can't blame a whole race, You can't blame a
certain type of person over what might have happened to
you one time, or you feel that that person got
the job over you, Well, you better work harder. A

(14:01):
lot of this stuff and we'll come back in the
next segment and we'll talk about the DEI stuff and
how that's not just a hiring thing or what you
might think it is, and how do we look at
that as to say, even if they are whatever you

(14:21):
want to consider DEI, how's that affecting you? And why
are you blaming that person? Why is it created hatred
in your life? This Jeff would love for one another week.
Will be all right back after this and we are back,

(14:53):
well at least I am back, and hey, I got
some news for you before we start the next segment.
When I take these breaks, usually it's for me to
take a drink and not be like guzzling on the
radio here. But I also want to offer some great
advertising opportunities. Not only do we offer advertising on the

(15:14):
radio station which is Real Music Radio, excuse me, Real

(15:35):
which we kicked off one episode and we are working
on another, and also on It's All on the Table
and sports taps. So we got some great shows and
great opportunities. And trust me, I know sometimes you wonder
do people listen.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
They do.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
We are across the country of the United States of
America and quite a few states. I think we're right now.
We're in almost twenty different states, and we're growing.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
We're growing.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
People are listening like they did last time, and I'm
hoping we get up there to those numbers again. But
if we don't we keep it small. We keep it tight.

But reach out and we'll get your advertisements on and
advertise your business.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
So that's a little bit of good news for you there.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
And now let me clear my throat and we'll get
started right away. This is Jeff would love for one
another podcast, and we were talking about some interesting stuff,
right We were talking about DEI higher. So when I

(17:10):
first heard this, I was like, DEI, what didn't earn it?

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Is that what you're talking about?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
And then it was a diversity, equality and inclusion. So
let's talk about that for a minute, because I think
one of the things let's understand it first. Okay, So
there's a lot of people that have this this idea
that DEI means that they just needed to feel that demographic.

(17:35):
So of course everybody right away things, oh, a black person.
So like Charlie Kirk says, well, if there's a pilot
in a plane and there happened to be black, I'm
wondering how they get that spot. I'm thinking that DEI
and somebody just slapped them in there. So let's put
some logic to this idea, because things get said and

(17:56):
then people get cut off, emotions get in the way.
Before you know, nobody's listening to nothing, and there's a
lot of misconceptions and just dumb ideas that get put out.
Now for somebody to really want to talk about it
and not just get their point that they feel is
right out, then you got to slow it down. Man,

(18:19):
Let's slow it down. There's a song called slow Down
that I really like. So let's slow it down for
a minute, and let's think about a business. Let's take
a simple thing like let's go major first and talk
about the airplane and pilots, and then I'm going to

(18:41):
apply some logic of using a system that we used
that was kind of a DEI in my own work.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
So we take depends on what you're doing. So you have.

Speaker 2 (18:57):
A job that has requirements before you can even get hired.
You gotta You don't just fill out an application. Some jobs,
like my job, you have to take tests. You have
to have units. You have to have units in a
specific and electrical you.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
Have to have.

Speaker 2 (19:13):
You got to start it. Usually you got to start
off at the lowest spot. But that don't happen anymore.
We change things. But normally, like when I applied for
the job, I took the test with about three thousand people,
and it took me five years to get in. It
takes time, right, and I had to study a huge
book and take a lot of classes and stuff just
take the test. I had to take the test twice

(19:37):
so I can get in, and it took a while.
So something when if you bring this up to me,
and some people think that I'm just okay with everything,
and I'm not, But I use logic. I think for
a minute, I stopped, slow the pace down, and let's
talk about I know what it took to get into
my job. I know how hard it is. I know

(19:59):
what it it took for me to advance schooling after schooling,
and digging trenches and digging holes and and and just
out there in the heat you know, over and overdoing construction.
It was it was some hard work to get to
where I'm at. So would I be okay with somebody

(20:22):
just walking in the door and this and that. No,
but I'm not going to hold it against that person personally.
Here's the thing about You got to understand that people
what you allow them to do, they're going to do.
You can't always hold that person responsible when somebody else

(20:46):
is letting them do it. Right, But now let's back
up again and talk about THEI, because DEI doesn't mean
that they just got some guy off the street and said, hey,
come on in and we're gonna slap you in the spot.
That's not how it works when they talk about DEI.
It's usually what it has to do with is we're
gonna let them apply, but you have to pass. You

(21:08):
can't just apply and get the job and you're in.
That just let lets you get in, and you still
got to pass all the schooling, You got to do
all the work.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
You gotta uh uh.

Speaker 2 (21:18):
That just gets you in to get the training, and
then you got to pass the training. You don't just
become a pilot walking in the door. That If anybody
that thinks that then you're really you're you're you're kind
of closing the door. You're closing your mind and trying
to think in the simplest terms and be like, yeah,
that's right, instead of stopping for a minute going wait

(21:40):
a minute, that just doesn't make sense. What airline would
actually put their lives, everybody's lives on the line knowing
that not only can they get sued and people's lives
lost and billions of dollars and their company goes under,
and you're just trashing it all away because you're just
letting some guy come in and training at all. That's

(22:02):
not how that works. Let's think logically, when we hired people,
yeah we let them apply, That didn't mean they got
the job. That just meant that that they didn't have
to have certain qualifications to apply. But once they apply,
trust me, they if they don't know what they're doing

(22:22):
or they don't learn, they ain't making it. And then
they got to still go get the schooling and everything else.
They still got to work hard to get the spot.
You don't just get the spot in your in especially
if it comes to this is just for what I do?
You're talking about a pilot. And then you're gonna make
a comp See, here's the thing. The other thing you
make comments like that, what do you think that that

(22:45):
is gonna do? How is that going to be something
that's a positive. That's only putting that kind of thought
into people's head as a negative. And the more you
drive it, and you just drive it into people and
you say, oh, DEI they just let anybody in. And
usually it's because and they let you feel in the
plank because they know if they do it, and some

(23:06):
of them do, then it becomes racist and this and that.
But nowadays people don't really care if you call them racist.
They're okay with that. It's like the thing to be now,
I guess you know, it's like, hey, I'm a racist.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
You don't.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Oh, I'm not a racist, But yet you're doing everything
that racist people do. See, there's a difference. You can
sit there and say you're not, but if you're doing it,
if you got to explain that you're not, that maybe
it's time to go in the mirror and self evaluate
and say maybe, maybe, just maybe I better look at myself. Man,

(23:43):
I might be doing something wrong that makes people say
I come off as a racist or I'm coming off
as this or that. I got people that tell me
stuff all day long on Facebook, you know, and trust me.
As much as I don't believe it, I still self
evaluate to me make sure what I'm saying is not
crossing the line or making it sound a certain way,

(24:07):
because I do care what I say. I do care
what I put out to the public. I do care
what people listen to. And I want you to know that,
you know, no matter how much I'm against something, it
doesn't mean that there's a hatred. It means that let's
fix this. Something's wrong. The thinking of this person is
not correct. It needs to be There's got to be.

Speaker 1 (24:29):
Unity.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
There's gotta be some type of love, and right now
you're not getting it. You're getting a lot of separation.
You know, we can go down this road and be
separated as people. And if you just go in your
home and live your life, that's okay. You can do that.
You got the right to do that, right But once
it comes down in the streets or people start reacting,

(24:50):
and we got to look at what's going on in
the world today. There's a lot of things happening. People's
lives are getting affected, people are losing their lives. And
then there's you know, let's face it, if a certain
type of person loses their life, it's all over the
place and they want to do this and have memorials.
And if you got three four other people that just

(25:12):
lost their lives and nobody says nothing. We just send
thoughts and prayers and uh, you know, shake a fist
at it. And that's that's not good. It's not helping.
So anyway, d I think about it for a minute,
slow it down, and let's process that thought of what

(25:33):
that means.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Now we go to the other.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
Extreme now to where anything that has anything to do
with it. I'm telling you to a point where people
just said, oh yeah, that's a good idea. They're they're
they're losing their jobs, they're getting ousted, like chastised, and
like they committed a crime. What are we doing?

Speaker 1 (25:59):
What are we doing to.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
Affect people's lives like this, when especially they were doing
whatever they were told to do. We've crossed that line
to where you do as I say, and if in
the past you didn't, we're coming after you.

Speaker 1 (26:13):
This is a lot of vengeance. And I'm going to
tell you something.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
Take a little drink there or some water. I'm drinking
water today, and I'm going to tell you something. The
vengeance of one person should not dictate the actions of many.
That's a very dangerous place to be. It's very dangerous, man,
because somebody, you know, if you get one person that

(26:40):
was affected by stuff, whether it's right or wrong, I
don't care if it was wrong, Okay, come back and say, hey,
I want to look at what happened and try and
fix some things or whatever. But I don't think it
was wrong anyway. But still, I'll give you the benefit
of doubt.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Man.

Speaker 2 (26:56):
When somebody's in charge, they go back and look at things.
But you can't just like start punishing people. We're going
to create the society of vengeance, you know, vias for
vengeance or whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
What was that thing.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
We can't do this, man, And it looks like we are.
I mean, I can sit here and shake my fist
at it all day long and say we shouldn't be
doing this, but it seems like we are. We're going
down this road of somebody's upset because of what was
done to him, and somebody that's.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
This person.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Has a whole lifetime of doing stuff, and the reason
why he got away with A lot of that stuff
is because you take it to court and just he
has more money, so you're going to tie everybody up
in court, and usually it gets in a settlement or
it gets dropped.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Or something.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
That's not success. It's not And I've heard a lot
of people say that, Well, you know, it's smarter than
everybody else. And you know, you when you throw your
morals in the trash and you throw the way you
treat people in the trash, and you just start tossing
all that in the trash, what do.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
You got left?

Speaker 2 (28:06):
You don't got much left. And it shines, it shows
through you know, I guess you know, trying to look
at the reason why things happen. Some things become attractive.
And I'm talking about like what things you know, how
do we fix the wrong?

Speaker 1 (28:24):
Sometimes?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
I'll tell you what I've heard a lot about is
people want to see chaos just tossed in their way.
We just got to shake it up, We just got
we got to just go in there and just blow
the whole thing up. And this is what businesses do.
They go in there and just disrupt everything, get rid
of everybody. We're gonna start over, and we're gonna rebuild
and okay, your business that might work in government, don't

(28:49):
it don't work. And we're seeing that because they're trying
to hire back a lot of people and stuff that
they fired too many people, and you affect that. Here's again,
we're right back to the same thing. You're affecting people's lives.
And the only reason this works is because of the
people that don't care. They don't care, and if you

(29:11):
do care, then you wouldn't put the comments that you do.
I've seen if we're to go through and read, I mean,
it's a very very sad day about when you read
what people put. And that's you know, people when they're
behind a keyboard don't care. They're gonna put whatever, and
we know it' see there could be the way they feel.
They think it's funny. They want to actually push your
buttons and see who they can get people to react.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
And maybe they don't.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
Even feel that way, but I'm going to say it
anyway because I'm just an asshole and this is what
I do.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
You know, but now when you get a majority of.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
People doing it, society takes a turn and we move away,
way far away from loving each other. What is it
about that that scares people. What is it about that
that makes you feel that this is just a a

(30:02):
bad thing. Can't love each other? Come on, man, that's
a you know, I say bad words on your Ain'
just gonna say that one. But that's just you know,
you're you're just being weak by saying you want to
love other people and and this and that that stuff

(30:23):
shit you don't when you're young and you say things
and sometimes you got something to prove and you want
to walk around with a chip on your shoulder and stuff,
you know, but as you get older, that kind of
stuff should wear off. It should wear off, man, because
there's more things that are important people, you know, people's lives.
There's people that go through a lot, and things we

(30:46):
say affect them and things we don't say affect them.
And that's a terrible thing. And sometimes you just got
to sit in basket and go, man, if I would
have just said the better things or said more or
paid more attention or done something right, and it can
really they tear you apart. You can sit, you know
and think, man, I should have done this or that.
And then there's some people that just don't care. They

(31:07):
really don't care. They don't bring it up, they don't
talk about it.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
It's just like.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
It would affect them one way or another day. They
could care less. And I've come to find that there's
a lot of people like that, and and that's upsetting
it for you know, it gets upsetting, especially with the stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Going on with the stuff in Gaza.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
And I've seen videos and I do AI stuff and
this and that, and you could tell the difference, and
people are just passing it off now that that's just
a fake video. People starving grasping for food and people
getting buried under rubble. Oh that's not real. Pan out

(31:54):
and shows the cameras. And then when you see when
they do have a big scene and you see buildings
blown up, people getting shot at as they're trying to
get food, and it's like, well that now it's panned out.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
What do you want? But we don't believe what we
see no more. We live in this.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
World of deception and you feel that everything's a lie
or fake or something, and and what happens is along
the way just people getting hurt. And I tell you
sometimes it's heartbreaking, it really is. I you know, I

(32:33):
do a lot of things and you look you start
looking around like and those are things you can't control.
And then there's man, I'll tell you. You look at your
day and walk outside. The sun is shining, got plants
growing around, and your dog runs up to you, you know,

(32:53):
and this and that, and just taking care of things
around the house, getting mady maybe on the weekend, and
what I'm going to do this week, you know, let's
go and do a boat ride or so, you know,
And then you realize the things that are going on
in the world and what people are going through. Now
this is nothing new, right, But when we make it

(33:17):
like it's okay, that's just what's going to happen, and
we just move on, right, that's when it starts to
make you think like, wait a minute, this isn't right.
What do I do? What can I do? What can
I do to make a difference? Is my one little
thing going to make it? And that's what happens. I
think to a lot of people, they figure, well, my

(33:37):
one little thing ain't going to make a difference. But
you know what, when everybody does one little thing, then
it starts to make a difference. It does start to
add up. It's possible, it's possible, and some people need
that one little thing. The people that are going through
devastation right now in their lives and having things.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
And and I guess.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
There's a feeling of, well, you know, the NA should
have done this or they there's always an excuse, right,
But it don't lead to anything. It don't lead to
fixing any problem. And we're just going to forget about
it and make it okay because we're over here for
the most part. You know, what there's a problem with
I think the Americans the US is that we're safe

(34:32):
over here with things you know, are just kind of okay.
But are we really you know, we have our own issues,
we have our own problems, but we don't have those
kind of problems, and there's things we can do to
either fix it or stop it, and we don't. And
I'm talking to I'm saying we because we are a

(34:52):
nation over here that's supposed to be helping people and
we've gone away from that. It's very discos urging, it's
very upsetting, and you know, I think searching for an
answer can even that can become discouraging because there's not
no real answer, right and there's a lot of people

(35:14):
that don't care and it gets it gets very very
it can become very deep, and it can become very
hard to get through your day when you realize how
many people don't care. How do we get back to that?
Can we get back? You know? But I do feel that,

(35:37):
like I said, if everybody does something, we're not going
to save the world just why by ourselves, but all together.
You know, whenever you look at it, look at the ants, right,
they always say, well, one ant can do. But if
you get all the ants together and they can, you know,
they can build a whole underground thing, they can lift it,

(35:58):
real heavy stuff, all this and that. Because there's so
many of them, well, there's a lot of us. And
I'm not talking about us as us against them. I'm
talking about.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
Us as people.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
There's a lot of us that's you know, we're all
over the earth. My goodness, What if we all just
started trying to help each other think about the changes.
And I know that's just a fantasy to someone. You
guys are just sitting there going that's just dumb. But
if we really thought about it, and if we really
just started saying, you know what, let's come together, man,

(36:32):
let's come together.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
At least we could do it in.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Our own name, we could do it in our family,
we could do it in our workplace, we could do
it in our neighborhood. And the more you stop getting afraid.
There's this fear of saying, you know, I have love
for you, I love you. You're my neighbor, my brother,
or my sister, I have love for you, and there's
this fear about it. But put that fear down. It's

(36:55):
so tough about everything else. Put that down and say no,
I do have love for you. And then the next
person's going to do it the next and then all
of a sudden, before you know it, it gets bigger and bigger,
and it starts growing and we can get away from
this hatred and all this stuff going around that's just
pushing us apart. I think sometimes when I do these shows,

(37:23):
sometimes I get a little lost, and then I pull
it back in, you know, because I don't write this
stuff down. I just think of something and start talking.
And I think this is part of what happens in
our lives, is that we had so much going on
that we start losing track of what we really wanted
to do or what our real intentions were. And then
we said well that's okay. I got you know, I

(37:45):
got to think about me. I got to think about
my family, and I can't think about other people right
now or what's going on because there's just too much
of it and nobody's gonna do nothing about it. And
we got Newsom does this crazy stuff and Trump does
this crazy stuff. You know, instead of just going, you
know what, wait a minute, and myself and my personal self,
I'm going to make a change and I'm going to

(38:06):
just start being a different person. I just, you know what,
I need to show people that I care, even if
it's just a little bit each day. And maybe that
person might go, oh my god, you know what, I've
never seen him act like that. Maybe, you know what,
maybe there's something to this, and I think I'll do
something good today, and before you know it starts kind

(38:26):
of starts growing, you know, and it can grow. Take
it to church, man, whatever church you go, do and
try and get maybe get into your faith if that's
what it takes, you know, bring some Jesus into your life,
and not in a way to use it against somebody,
you know, bring the Jesus into you into your life
so you could share some kindness and helpfulness and what

(38:50):
we're supposed to do and love for your neighbor and
all those good things that we're supposed to be doing.
It doesn't always have to be this negative man. And
I know people have tough lives. I know you're struggling.
I know the bills are there, I know the car's
broken down, and life sucks and my job don't pay
me much and my dog keeps crapping all over the place.

(39:15):
But you know what, you gotta find that peace in
your life to make things better. And it will get better.
I'm telling you it. We'll just have that positive life,
have that positive activity in your life. We'll be all
right back. I'm going to take another break. This is
Jeff would love for one another. Be right back, hey,

(39:51):
and I'm back, And I'm telling you, you know, there's
a lot to be said about doing things and how
we do and what difference do we make in somebody's life.
I tell you there's a lot of people that don't
have nobody in their life and they're struggling with loneliness

(40:12):
and separation, separation from people, separation from your regular daily activities,
and it makes it.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Hard, makes it hard. You got your own problems. Man,
I got it.

Speaker 2 (40:30):
I tell you, I talk all day long and never
have this issue. And I come on the mic and
I start throw gets a little scratchy, and I'm trying
to drink some water that that's not helping. But anyway,
you know, when we talk about being there for other
people and showing some compassion for just for people in general,

(40:58):
sometimes we forget that there's people out there that might
be scrolling through social media, might be trying to uh
find some happiness, some sort of happiness, and they see
negative and they see negative and then you're like, well,
you know, it depends on what they're clicking on and
it's their fault. You know, maybe they should stay up

(41:19):
with social media, but sometimes they don't have much more,
right you got TV.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Maybe they still.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Work and they don't get along with you know, people
just don't like them at work for some reason. And
they try and they're reaching out, and you know, all
you get is comments and people that kind of look
at you funny or whatever. That doesn't mean that there's
something wrong with the person. It just means that that
just happens to be the time they're in right now.

(41:50):
Because sometimes what happens is you get you get periods
of time that go by where you where things just
aren't going right, you know, especially after school. School you
got friends and you got it sometimes maybe even a
loaner in school, but you still got school life and
you got things to do. There's classes, or maybe you're

(42:11):
learning more or you're you're good in something at school.
But once you come out, it's always kind of like
what do I do now? Man, I don't know nobody,
I don't talk to nobody, and then as life goes on,
you know, you find yourself kind of distant from everybody,
and it makes it difficult. So sometimes that's why when

(42:31):
I talk about what we put out to the world
could help somebody that you don't even know, because sometimes
people look for that. They want to see that positive,
not just that you know.

Speaker 1 (42:44):
I put up the silly videos and stuff.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
I think they're funny, but sometimes you need to put stuff,
you know, some types of positive thing out to the world,
whatever it might be. Right now, we live in a
very tough time because I'll tell you I pulled a
lot of stuff and it's not making it up, it's
just posting what's happening. Because I want people to be aware,

(43:07):
and I'm making you aware of the bad treatment of others.
Let's bring it back to we start treating each other better.
So I know, especially I felt I got to come
back to love for one Another. I got to because
there's so much negative stuff and if I post pretend
like it's not happening, now, I'm part of the problem.

(43:28):
So I have to address that. But I also want
to let you know there's a better way. And that's
why I Love for one Another is back. It's not
that it left, it's just the show's back. So I
can talk about this stuff because I want you to
know that there's more out there. Man, There's something better,
you know. And especially when I was talking about people

(43:50):
to get lonely. So a lot of that stuff is
just a fragment of time, and I know it seems
long to you, but you get through that fragment of time,
things are going to get better. There's going to be
better stuff in your life, especially if you stay positive,
better job. You're going to meet different people, even if
you're kind of not really into meeting people, but you're

(44:12):
going to do better for yourself. Maybe do those things
that will help people that they don't even really know it.
We're talking about doing stuff for charities or or something
that's going to be a positive impact in somebody's life.
Sometimes there's a lot of people I'll tell you that
you don't even know about the go and do stuff
for the elderly people. They go to the homes, or

(44:32):
they go to the children's hospitals. Needed some water again.
But there's always something out there. And that's another reason
why we need to keep this place we live in
Earth a positive place to be. And you know is

(44:56):
going to happen in our lifetime. I hope so, I think, so,
I really do. I feel like we can get there. Man,
it might not be right now. Maybe this will you
show us of how we really need to be. Like
this isn't this to me?

Speaker 1 (45:09):
At least I.

Speaker 2 (45:12):
At least to me, I feel that there's a better
way we can achieve something better if we really try,
we can do better. The last show, I talked about
heaven and what are we going to take up to
heaven if I can't live that life now. And I'm
not trying to be holy on you and tell you
that you got to do and live by the Bible,
but you know, sometimes you might have to sometimes that

(45:35):
might be the route you need to take. But the
main thing you gotta do is just love each other.
It's not much, and then you can take that up
to heaven. You can live a life in heaven if
you were able to love each other down here. That's
the base.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
What do you need? I don't need much. I don't
need the possessions.

Speaker 2 (45:54):
You go to heaven. They say you're not taking it
with you. Okay, Well if I'm not taking that with me,
I got to take something with me. And if all
I got is the love I have for other people,
I'm going to take that with me. And I think
you'll see that. That's a great transition, right, it has
to be unless we're all put in cubicles or something.

(46:19):
I mean, think about it. If you're going to heaven,
take something with you, man, take your positive life, and
take the love you have in your heart and your
soul for other people. And if you start maybe thinking
about that, like if I could take that with me,
well what can I do here to change that? And

(46:39):
if you start changing those people that were lonely and
that felt like they didn't have anything, I'm going to
see that and they could be like, man, you know what.
That's a great feeling. It feels your heart. It mainkes
you feel good. And then when you fall off of that,
you'll you'll recognize and be like, you know, man, I
need to do something better. I need to change something.
I need to maybe work little harder and try and

(47:01):
do something better. And you know, we're not all perfect.
It endsn't gonna happen. Sometimes you're gonna try and you're
gonna fail. You're gonna be like, damn, I didn't try
it and it didn't work. That's okay. It's okay if
it worked for everybody visits simple man, we everybody be
doing it, you know. So you know all these different things.

(47:24):
It makes it difficult to get through your day. But
we can make it, and I know we can. So
we talked about different things. I'm going to do another
segment now on this show. I'll do another show, and
I want to read it some more chapters from Morris's book.
We'll get back into my little Prince crowd that likes
a lot of this stuff, and we will read some

(47:45):
more chapters from his book. But there's a lot of
important things going on, and I felt like I needed
to do another show and talk about it because we
got a lot of things happening and it just seems
like it's getting worse. Man, I'm hoping it doesn't. I'm
really hoping that that we can get some civility and

(48:08):
stop separating.

Speaker 1 (48:09):
Man.

Speaker 2 (48:10):
You know, if you're listening to this show and you're like,
you're like, man, jump's all over the place, take one
thing from me that we need to really try to
find that space in us. If all you ever heard
throughout these shows is just love each other, that's the title.
There's a reason why I had the title of it.

(48:31):
Not only was this a thing that Prince did and
I really liked it, and I really liked the idea,
and I really thought I looked at all the different
things about it and it wasn't just a copy something
it was. At first we were talking about Prince stuff
because he was really into the love for each other.

(48:52):
But it stuck and it created something at least in me.
And I've been up and down and trying to find
my way and learn and read, trying to read more
books or something, just something to try and learn more
about how to bring people together? How do we do this?
How do you unite people?

Speaker 1 (49:13):
You know?

Speaker 2 (49:15):
I'm gonna start reading more of Martin Luther King, the
juniors of books that he wrote, and some of them
are uniting people, and try and learn a little bit more,
and not just from him, but there's a lot of
other great people out there, a lot of great leaders.
And then also look through your own life and see

(49:35):
through my own life and see what I can do
to try and do better. You know, this isn't always
it can't be just there wrong and I'm right, that's
not the way it works. We've seen what happens with that.
And I could easily come on here and tell you
we can go down that road and just make it

(49:57):
there wrong and I'm right or they're wrong, and this
site is right or the side against that side, and
we're not going to get nowhere that way. We haven't
got think about it. We're not getting nowhere. This isn't
leading to some great outcome but that And that's what
I've been trying to figure out, is that when I

(50:20):
see uh people talk about like it's just because.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
Of this.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Or you know, law and order and stuff like that,
you look at the process of how things are going.
Nothing's getting better, Like there is nothing I would look around, like,
tell me right now, what is getting better? And if
if it's because of the way things are being put
out there, of how we're doing things, and you know,

(50:49):
then I look at and say, well, maybe you're right, okay,
but nothing's getting better right now. We're getting worse, We're
getting worse, we're turning against each other. It's it's it's
a very old process. And why they're doing it or
why it's happening, I can't speculate. I mean, I could speculate,
I just can't draw a conclusion because I don't know
if I'm right or wrong on it. I mean, I

(51:09):
guess we're gonna find out. But what's the purpose of
separating your own people? What's the purpose of that. We're
supposed to be all, we're all supposed to be here together.
Having different ideas is what's supposed to make things better.

(51:31):
It's supposed to you know, you don't all want to
be the same. If we're all the same, then we'd
be boring, right, So you've got to have differences. You
want people to think differently, but at the same time,
you don't want it to be so different that we're
about to cut the whole nation in half. What good

(51:53):
is that going to do? And I think, to be
honest with you, I think people want that they're building
a town I think somewhere over on the East East
coast or one of those states over there where it's
all white people, you know, and they don't want no

(52:20):
other type of person there. Now, I know they have like,
you know, different there's homage to live a certain way,
and I'm sure there's other communities, you know. A man,
what's the purpose of this? You know, we're back to

(52:41):
the Ghostbusters too, the ooze, the hate Ooze or whatever
it was called. And it's like it's all over the place.
It's not just in New York. It's spreading and it's
like they're spreading it on purpose. Man, when you know,
when it happened in the movie, they want to get
rid of it, and here we're doing it. It's like

(53:02):
this is what they want. They want us to be separate.
So yeah, tough situation. So I've separated this show now.
The reason why I was taking the breaks where I
did is because I'm trying to stick to this format.
I'm seeing if it works. But I've almost feel like
I need to put one in between here. But I'm
not sure.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
Shows almost over.

Speaker 2 (53:23):
We've been on fifty three minutes already, and I think
I've been kind of all over the place today.

Speaker 1 (53:29):
But there was a reason for it.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
And to be honest with you, it's trying to I'm
really trying to, not only for myself but for those listening.
We get distractions, things happen in our day, things happen
in our life, and we get pulled to the left.
We get pulled everywhere. And I talked about a little
while ago where something you might have wanted to do

(53:55):
can change in the moment because of all the distractions
and all the things that happen, and so it takes
your mind off of it. And it's not that you
didn't care no more, it's just the things. It's especially
if you're a very busy person, your mind can get
distracted this way, distracted that way, and you find yourself
forgetting like, oh shoot, I forgot about that, or I should.

Speaker 1 (54:17):
Have done this.

Speaker 2 (54:18):
Oh man, I'm going to be late or something, and
so it makes it hard to concentrate on one thing
or what you should be doing to complete a goal
or a task or something like that. So this can
happen in.

Speaker 1 (54:33):
Your life too, right when we talk about.

Speaker 2 (54:37):
Loving each other and something that doesn't seem that important, right, well,
hey guys, you should have love for one another, and
oh yeah, that's nice, and maybe you're all into it
at the moment, and then all of a sudden, you know,
your job pulls you this way, a family member pulls
you that way, you're having an argument with somebody.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
Pulls you to the other way.

Speaker 2 (54:55):
Before you know it, love for one another. Man that
I forgot all about that. I don't care about that
no more because I got all my issues again. And
you're drawn into all this stuff again and you find
yourself upset your.

Speaker 1 (55:10):
They went bad.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
And you're like, why why did this happen again? And
I just got man, it's you know, now people are
mad at you because you didn't finish what you said
you would, or you didn't answer any questions. You didn't
do this, and you didn't complete that, and you're like,
wait a minute, no, I really wanted to. I just
didn't do it. I'm sorry, And now you're in another
cycle of being upset or something that's bad, and before

(55:38):
you know it, like you can easily become trapped in
this world of anguish and hate, and maybe not even hate,
but just like hate on yourself, like damn, I'm trying,
and I just man, I what is wrong with me?
And why can't I do it? And a lot of
it stems from you lost your focus, your focus on

(55:59):
I kind of still love each other. I still gotta
have love for this person. I know, wait a minute,
they're upset, but it's probably it's not. It's something I did.
I know that, but it's not because I wanted to.
I got to remember that there's still a human being.
I got to show them love. I got to pull
myself back in and say, you know what, wait a minute,
let me slow it down again, like we said in

(56:20):
the beginning of the show, slow it down and let
that person know I still love you, I still have
love for you. Let that let yourself know I love myself.
To get past everything that just happened, I just had
everything kind of went chaotic and I got lost for
a minute. I lost my focus. But I still want

(56:43):
to have love for one another. I still want to
get back to that space of knowing that.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
Whatever I do here, I got it.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
I got to know that someday I need to take
that to heaven or to what I feel is going
to be after this world because we're only here for
a certain amount of time and lot of times, so
much time goes by, you're gonna have months, days, years
go by that you lose that focus and then you

(57:10):
try and find it again, like, wait a minute, I
need to get back to that, because when I was
doing that, things were kind of working good. But I
let all that other stuff, all that other all those
other things pull me in and lose a track. I
lost what I was talking about on the show, or
you know, you lose what was going on at work
or in your family or with a significant significant other

(57:30):
or whatever the case, and you're just like, man, things
got bad, Like what happened? How did I go from
things were going good? Two things are bad now again?
And man, this isn't working. I got to figure this out.
And you get upset with yourself and before you know what,
you're kind of like, I think I got a problem.
In reality, it's just you're letting too much of all

(57:53):
this distractions get to you and uh, and it becomes
overwhelming and you lose your spot. So find your focus,
bring it back in and reset. It's okay. We all
go through it, man, But I'm telling you find that
positive spot in your life, find the love for each other,
find the love for one another, and I think it'll

(58:15):
make you at least a little bit happier. It'll get
that feeling of doing something good and there's better things
to do.

Speaker 1 (58:24):
There's a better way, and I know what it is.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
I just got to stop losing the focus. And you know,
it's okay to be sorry. It's okay to say I
messed up. It's okay to say, you know what, let's
do this again. And I care about you. Reach out
to those people telling me you care and tell me
love them, and hopefully there's better days. This is Jeff
with love for one another.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
They man.

Speaker 2 (58:44):

much for coming. Check out the other shows, and we'll

and tell a friend this is Jeff would love for
one another, telling you always have love for each other
