As Trump Goes On Trial, New Debate Over U.S. Justice System, Prison Lawsuit By Jay-Z & Yo Gotti
You know I I’ve been incarcerated I’ve never been into the penitentiary but I spend a lot of County time which in many ways is actually worse than the penitentiary and I appreciate the fact that you guys are bringing this topic to light because there are people that are incarcerated right now that you know for for what crime they committed their punishment is is far worse than then whatever crime they committed and I totally totally get that and I appreciate the fact that that that these that these rap artists are getting involved to try to help you don’t bring bring this issue to light I really do however you know I think re your ear a little bit too much in love with these rap artist you know they’re not musicians it half of them couldn’t pick play a C major scale if your life depended on it and you know they’re not really the place to go for the big wisdom and knowledge on these issues so you know once you’re done you know having your little lovefest with your rap artist why don’t you continue with the with the story but you know bringing some people from the Department of Prisons people that you know actually been to prison and all that kind of stuff.
Difference between any convict and tRUMP……..Daddies money and taxpayers cash…..how sad is that?
actually, Drumpf has been living off of the American Taxpayer since he started working with his father.
There are a total of 250 republicans in Congress.
One of them is black.
And he decided not to run for re-election.
Way to represent! 😆😅
What’s his name?
@Dominique Hardie Will Hurd from Texas.
Big ups to Yo Gotti
Lovely!
Ari melber brought me here
That is awesome…!! Hope they can get the change needed…
Prisons attract vicious guards and managers. It is not likely that this type of human would conduct himself responsibly. So why is anyone surprised by his reprehensible behavior? The idea that miscreant behavior could be improved by a prison sentence is ludicrous.
We must realize that acceptable behavior is demonstrated by example. Someone has to show the miscreant that better behavior gets better results. Prison inmates, prison guards, and prison managers just don’t exhibit behavior that leads to better results.
If the miscreant is expected to improve, it is more effective to embed him in a comfortable group safe from attack. Then he understands that violence or aggressiveness is not required,,
ROLAND D BOOKER III its a 💰 thing you know wow
Yes, we need people to stay in jail when we lock them up and we need to lock more people up. its obvious.
At least the whole dump admin and all gop should be locked up
😂Awww, that was a fun segment!!! I really enjoyed it!
Thank you, Ari! You’re the best!
Us justice doesnt exist otherwise dump would be in jail 40 years ago
Social justice baby
Alpha
Dictator Trump is Enemy of USA !!!
.
Happy Impeachment day my USA!

Why aren’t these rap music pepole out in the streets exposeing the drug dealers and gang members shoting up everything why don’t you see these rap music pepole doing something good in communitys look i no rap music is cind of going out of popularity right it is going away fast but thay can still do something in there communities
Clearly not only does Ari listen to hip hop he respects the culture and the people, I respect that
These people are criminals they need to suffer but they need to be treated as human beings. They still needed to have food .
That’s exactly where Trump and his Criminal Regime belongs, What’s good for the Groose is good for the Gander, Trump’s not above the law, Neither beyond the law, But he thinks he’s completely lawless ! 🙄
The justice system in any country in the world is corrupt and we should know that before committing the crime it’s no good crying about after you committed.
The trial of donald trump, hopefully the first of many leading to his lifetime incarceration.
