Key Discussion Points

1. Health Updates, Humor, and Domestic Life

[00:44 – 03:09]

• The episode opens with Todd poking fun at Julie's recent bout with illness and her noisy nighttime snoring—“I feel like a train is coming through my window” (Todd, 02:11).
• Julie mentions that a recent flu shot had her feeling unwell, and Todd jokes about flu shots in prison being ancient.
• Their trademark playful banter is evident:
  • “You have more illnesses and more symptoms than Sherry Salisbury has excuses for her behavior in Pensacola.” (Todd, 01:19)
• Both laugh about Julie’s nighttime coughs and Todd's supposed sleep deprivation.

2. Responding to Criticism & Social Media

[03:09 – 08:49]

• Todd and Julie discuss the aftermath of their documentary release, proud of its No. 1 status, but annoyed by online critiques of their parenting.
• Todd’s strong stance:
  • “I don’t need to do anything other than what I choose to do for my child. You need to mind your business.” (Todd, 04:16)
• They defend their children, Chase and Savannah, asserting that viewers only see a fraction of reality.
• On Savannah’s honesty in the documentary:
  • “Savannah did not lie one time on the show. Chase has acknowledged that... She was justified in the way that she feels.” (Todd, 05:48)
• Both address that the show was filmed before their return home and pardon, highlighting the unseen struggles Savannah faced.

3. Parenting Styles & Shifting Family Roles

[08:49 – 12:07]

• Todd describes his approach as “tough love,” while Julie calls hers “softer”—they both agree balance is key.
• Julie notes she's still deeply in “mom mode” with their youngest, Chloe:
  • “Chloe is 13. Almost 13.” (Julie, 11:44)
• Todd shares a sense of shift toward more self-care and a willingness to let grown children live their lives:
  • “I’m not giving my next 20 years to my grown children for them to go out here and screw up and do things they shouldn’t be doing. I’m not doing that.” (Todd, 10:05)
• Julie supports this change, saying it’s healthy for them both to focus on personal growth.

4. Family Updates & Personal Stories

[16:26 – 21:43]

• The Chrisleys share logistical details of their lives (driving separately to the studio, playful parking lot marital stories).
• Tomorrow, Todd will help walk his friend Melvin Williams out of Miami prison—a fulfillment of a promise:
  • “My commitment to him was, Melvin, if I get home first, I will not leave you behind. I will get you home.” (Todd, 26:01)
• This segues into conversation about the deep importance of honoring friendships and support networks formed during incarceration.

5. Justice Reform: Prison Release Advocacy

[27:21 – 33:08]

• Todd details his advocacy work: helping to get sentences recalculated for hundreds of prisoners through connections with new Bureau of Prisons leadership.
• He shares a touching letter from the family of a young man whose sentence was shortened:
  • “I got a message from her saying, ‘Oh my God, my son’s date changed. Thank you so much.’ I said, ‘well, it wasn’t me. It was God, I’m just a worker bee.’” (Todd, 32:36)
• Todd emphasizes humility and doing the work for those impacted, not for public accolades.

6. Accountability in the Bureau of Prisons

[41:36 – 48:26]

• Todd does not hold back, exposing abusive or negligent prison staff by name, criticizing both physical abuses and the lack of accountability.
• He calls attention to Officer Lua in Miami, accused of assaulting inmates, and demands administrative action:
  • “Lua the loser, you put your hands on one more inmate… You have now been reported… you are being reported to OIA, Beth Reese…” (Todd, 42:23)
• Todd links these efforts to personal responsibility and moral obligation:
  • “Every time I get a report of a staff member putting their hands on an individual… I’m going to report you. The reason I say this today… is for accountability. Because that’s what the Bureau of Prisons has lacked forever.” (Todd, 46:30)

7. Looking Forward: Advocacy and Future Projects

[36:49 – 41:36; 49:05 – End]

• Todd is planning state prison tours in Texas as part of wider advocacy for humane corrections policies.
• He acknowledges that while much of their initial focus was on incarcerated men, he’s now pushing for similar efforts for women:
  • “Now we’re going to be working on a lady that you were there in prison with under the elderly Act to try to get her home.” (Todd, 40:23)
• Julie reaffirms that every day or week someone gets home early is life-changing:
  • “When you’re in there, every single day matters.” (Julie, 41:17)
• Both express gratitude at being able to bring their experience to bear for others.

[B]

Welcome to Chrisley Confessions. It's Todd and Julie. How are you today?

[A]

I'm doing good. You? Kind of.

[B]

Well, you've been at death's door for the last week.

[A]

I have.

[B]

I mean, listen, folks, when we left to go away to, you know, my summer retreat, we had physicals. I was all healthy. Julie was healthy. And now that she has come home, she is a senior citizen.

[A]

That's not true.

[B]

She has more ailments than Carter has.

[A]

Liver pills, and no one even understands what that is.

[B]

Let me rephrase this. You have more illnesses and more symptoms than Sherry Salisbury has excuses for her behavior in Pensacola.

[A]

Okay, well, that's not true. But I went and had a physical last week, and for some reason, I took the flu shot and I'm not sure why I did that. And then I have literally been sick ever since.

[B]

I don't think.

[A]

I can't even. Like, today is really the first day that I've been able to, like, talk and not sound crazy.

[B]

I don't understand who signs up to get a shot.

[A]

I know, and I don't even know why I did that. You know, I did do that when I was away. Like, I took a flu shot because I was so afraid of getting sick. But now here I just took it and got sick.

[B]

So did you hear that, folks? She took a flu shot in the Bureau of Prisons. Now, you know that that damn shot was about 17 years old. See what I mean? Hacking up along. I don't feel safe around you. Well, and folks, when I tell you for the last four days, I am exhausted after going to bed because I feel like a train is coming through my window. Todd, with this snore.

[A]

Julie, I can't breathe.

[B]

I literally was there with 70 something men on my side, and none of them sounded like your freight train at night.

[A]

Okay, well, I'm sorry. I can't breathe. And then I take nighttime cold medicine, and then so that probably.

[B]

So you turned into a pill.

[A]

No, I haven't. I'm just trying to get some relief.

[B]

What about me? I'm the one getting ran over by the train.

[A]

I don't know.

[B]

I'm exhausted. Sorry, folks. When I get up every morning, I'm exhausted from trying to dodge the train every night.

[A]

Shut up. That's not true.

[B]

So let's talk about. Because, you know, the show has now. The documentary is. No. Now over. They've aired the eight episodes.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And we were notified last week that it was the number one show across the platforms. Again, it was the number one show at Lifetime. And so for that, folks, we thank each and every one of you for tuning in. But so many questions, right? I mean, so many questions. And let. I just have to. I have to go on a rant for a minute. If we can get the long coughed up.

[A]

Sorry.

[B]

You don't know how we're parenting our children. So many people have come on social media and, you know, we have people that look at that and they send us a kind of a breakdown of kind of what the general consensus is. I can't do this with this.

[A]

Sorry. Let me get some comments.

[B]

Now. You didn't think of doing that before we started? I'm not working with them. B, No. D talent. Now, would you like. Now that you've gotten a whole bag of cough drops and a gallon of water, are we going to do the interview?

[A]

I'm gonna try.

[B]

Okay, well, then it's not an interview.

[A]

It's a podcast.

[B]

I'm interviewing you right now. Because I'm asking you questions, Hattie. Okay, so. So many people have said, you need to be doing this with Chase. You need to be doing this with Savannah. I don't need to do anything other than what I choose to do for my child. So when you come on social media and say, you need to do this, you need to do that, you need to mind your business. You. You watch the show. What your. What your opinion is of that show is exactly that. Your opinion. Chase is doing, I would say, better than he did before we left.

[A]

Yes, yes.

[B]

And looks great, has put back his weights, come back, so he's now 161lbs. Works out with me every day, is with me every day. We're having lunch together every day. But let's be very clear. I am not one that is going to coddle you. I'm not one that's going to pat you on the head and say job well done when you didn't even get up to go do the job. I believe in. I do believe in tough love, which is not something that you adhere to. That's not the way you parent your parenting. What is your perspective?

[A]

My parenting is softer.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I do believe in some tough love, but it's softer than your parenting, and I think that's okay. We.

[B]

Well, it's a balance.

[A]

It's a balance. Yes.

[B]

And, you know, so many people have. Have attacked Savannah over the way that she told her truth in the show.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I think you need to understand that everyone's perspective is exactly that. Their perspective. And Savannah did not lie one time on the show. Chase has acknowledged that. Chase has said his sister did not lie, that he did not show up, that he was busy partying and doing things he should not have been doing.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And that Savannah was justified in the way that she feels.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So at the end of the day, when someone is hurting and they don't feel like anyone's there for them, to just kind of give them a five minute reprieve or to say, you know, job well done.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And I think. I don't think. I know that's kind of where Savannah was at the time.

[A]

Well, and I think what people need to understand is they saw, okay, yes, she's dealing with, you know, her brother and sister, the house, her businesses. But there was so much more. There were so many more things that she was dealing with that weren't on the show.

[B]

Right.

[A]

So you need to see all that she was dealing with that you see. There was 10 times that. That you didn't see exact. That's what people need to understand. And like you said, everybody processes their pain differently.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

And I also think what people need to understand because I've had a lot of people just even say to me, this show was filmed before we ever got home.

[B]

Right.

[A]

Before we ever got our pardon. 98% of it was already filmed. Now, the last episode. Yes. It just so happened to be that we got pardoned, came home, was able to film this happened with Chase, and all that happened organically. There was no plan for that to happen because we didn't know it was happening. So I think that's also what people need to understand is that what the kids were going through, they were going through this not knowing that their mom and dad were coming home anytime soon.

[B]

That's Right. And, you know, we had been dealing with Chase and the drinking long before any of this ever happened. Us leaving.

[A]

Right, Right.

[B]

And so people are like, well, you know, you were so mean to him on Chris. Chris, he knows best. Or, you know, everyone knows that Savannah's always been the favorite or, you know, whatever, and just totally not true. I mean, it's. And so I read these emails that I get, you know, when they're giving me comments or they put together a bundle and say, you know, this is kind of what it's leaning towards or what have you. I have a great relationship with Chase and Savannah and Grayson.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And you yourself will acknowledge that when they. When they are in need, they're going to come to me.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And my relationship with my kids are exactly that. My relationship.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I don't have to justify what I do. I am trying to do better with not dragging people in social media because I haven't really done that. I'm trying to be more. I'm trying to be a kinder, more considerate human being from the standpoint of not sending my soul to hell for cussing somebody out who I'm never gonna meet.

[A]

Right.

[B]

But, you know, we got a lot of feedback about Jody and I. We don't really know Jody that well. I mean, we've only been around her a handful of times since we've been home.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And I'm not going to voice an opinion on whether or not they should be together, whether they shouldn't. I've learned from that. I've grown from that.

[A]

Right.

[B]

That I can't pick who my children are going to be with.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I can tell you that based on my life experiences, why I don't think this situation that you're entering into is going to work. But after I give you that information, what you choose to do with it at that point is on you.

[A]

Right. Right.

[B]

And as I've said before, and you know, and I think this shocked Julie when I said, I'm not giving my next 20 years to my grown children for them to go out here and screw up and do things they shouldn't be doing.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I'm not doing that.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And I think that was a. That not really a problem for you, but it was a turning point for you, because I saw. When I said that, I saw that look in your face. Well, he's different.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So what is it that. When. When you hear me say that, what is it that you are hearing?

[A]

I mean, there's a part of me that says, okay, He's. He's gonna just loosen the reins and let them go and let them be. I don't know that that's the case because that's just not who you are. But I do feel like that you are more focused on yourself at this point, and you've never been that way. And things that you want to accomplish, that you want to do, that you want to see, whatever. Which I think is great, because, you know, except for Chloe, our children are grown.

[B]

Right. But does that cause you. Do you see that as a positive or as a negative? Because it is a complete departure from what you just said than I've ever been.

[A]

No, I think that's great. I think it's great because so many people never have that moment where they. They come to the realization that, okay, I'm going to have to live my life. I'm going to have to do what's best for me. And whether that is good or bad, it's not for me to really say, because it's something that you are doing for you.

[B]

But do you. Do you feel that way kind of internally for you as well? Is there a part of you that feels that way for you?

[A]

I mean, I guess, but I'm still so in this mode of just being a mom. And, you know, Chloe is 13. Almost 13.

[B]

Yeah. She let me know the other day when I was doing laundry and I said, what is this? She said, dad, I'm a full grown woman now. I have lady parts. I said, get out of here.

[B]

Well, we know that.

[A]

So, you know, I'm just preparing for that, you know, for me.

[B]

I had someone say to me the other day, do you feel like you're trying to make up for lost time? Do you feel like Julie's trying to make up for lost time? And I said, no, that time's lost. I'm trying to live from today forward. I'm not trying to resurrect the dead. And that time is dead.

[A]

Right? We're moving on.

[B]

We're moving on.

[A]

We're moving on. Speaking of moving on, tomorrow you're actually going to be in Miami.

[B]

Tomorrow, folks. I will be in Miami at the Miami Prison. There. FPC Miami. Walking out, one of my dear friends, Melvin Williams. Melvin, you've heard me talk about him before. Melvin was who I worked with in the chapel. Now, Melvin actually did all the work. I didn't do no work. I watched movies. And I let other people watch movies when they weren't supposed to be watching movies.

[A]

See, you were bad even in the chapel. Oh, my God.

[B]

I didn't write none of that. I didn't like none of the statues.

[A]

Oh, my God.

[B]

I only liked Angela Dixon. I just miss Gamble.

[A]

You better keep praying.

[B]

There's about 10 people.

[A]

You better keep praying.

[B]

I do. I pray every day for the demise of those people. No, she meant for me to be nice. She told me before I got on here today, Todd, be nice, be kind, be patient.

[A]

I know I said be kind out in the parking lot.

[B]

And I was. I held the door open for you.

[A]

But you hollered at me, folks, here.

[B]

We gonna go again. Here we go again. I've already told this story a million times about how she rear ended me in her car. Now, folks, that's been.

[A]

That's 26 years. Keep me in mind. And you know what? You will notice today, I stayed so far away. So we drive two separate cars to the podcast to record because I have an appointment right after this. You got somewhere you have to be?

[B]

So we try to Stay on different sides of town when we're both in cars.

[A]

Yeah, but I stay purposely like, I stay far, far away from him.

[B]

But let me just explain to you why she's trying to throw shade. Because she's a victim again. You know, the world's full of victims. No, I'm not the victim of victims. I pull into a crowded parking lot because this chick who we record with Aaron, she has got more people recording podcasts here that it has started to cramp my style. So I pull in. There's not one vacant parking space except at the end. What does her husband do? What do I do?

[A]

You pulled on it.

[B]

I put all the way in so you could have that one spot. Do you know what my lovely wife did? She followed me, drove right on past the one spot that's available and pulled right behind me. You know what she was doing? The same thing she was doing when she rear ended me 20 something years ago. Put. I had to go knock on her window and she's putting on lipstick. I said, are you kidding me?

[A]

Just like that. See?

[B]

What's wrong with that?

[A]

Why do you.

[B]

I have someone that is special behind me. I say that with the utmost of sincerity. Special. What is your problem? Julie, I left you a parking spot at the end. Why are you following me up here where there is no parking spot? Oh, well, thank you. That's what I got. So then I have to come down to the end and say, julie, right here, pull in. You keep pulling in. And she's looking. And I said, straighten your wheel. There are stairs over there. As she's yelling at me. I'm the one yelling right now. Did I tell the story accurately?

[A]

I wasn't quite as.

[B]

Oh, she wasn't quite as barking. Gotcha made it sound. But at any rate, yeah, I don't.

[A]

Even know where the story was going.

[B]

Well, I do. At any rate, folks, Melvin Williams was. Is my. One of my dearest friends for life. I worked with him in the chapel. As I said, he worked. I didn't. I was too busy trying to take down the bop. But at any rate, Melvin is coming home on Thursday and I made a commitment to him when I left because Mandy Ramsey, who was the head of psychology there, who was one of the most evil, vile, disgusting, despicable forms of humanity that has ever been. Just a big old robust woman, you know, just loved cats. Donna mc. That tells you all you need to know. Cat lover. Big, robust cat lover. But at any rate, she set Mr. Williams up because she couldn't get to me. Because she knew that everyone was watching how I was being treated. So she went after Melvin Williams and said he gave her a threatening look. Anyone looking at her would feel threatened. Not her. Melvin's this big. She's this big.

[A]

Fall is here everyone. At least it's starting to cool down a little bit and cooler weather means every night. I'm so excited to get home and sit down with my cup of Beam Dream. If you haven't heard me talk about Beam Dream before, it's been a game changer for my sleep. Dream is an all natural nighttime blend made with science backed ingredients like reishi, magnesium, L theanine, apigenin and melatonin. All designed to help you fall asleep, stay asleep and wake up refreshed. All you need to do is mix the Dream powder with some hot water and you have the best cup of sleepy hot cocoa you'll ever try. My favorite flavor is the brownie batter. It's honestly like a dessert. And unlike other sleep aids, there's no next day grogginess, just real deep sleep that helps you actually feel good in the mornings.

But at any rate, Melvin is coming home. So Savannah and I are flying there tomorrow to pick him up on Thursday morning and to walk him out. Because my commitment to him was, Melvin, if I get home first, I will not leave you behind. I will get you home. And Melvin's mother, she's elderly. She's in her late 80s. I think. He has a wonderful wife, children, son, brother. And when I was able to call his wife and say, I need you to let my friend know he's coming home. Now, I couldn't have done this without the help of the bureau of prisons because as I've said before, it's a new day with the Bureau of Prisons because now you have a director that. Who I believe is a good, decent, godly human being. Billy Marshall is a wonderful man. And then you have Rick Stover who is over fsa. And Rick has been the kind of person that, okay, I'm going to look into it. I'm going to look into it. And folks, he does. He looks into it. And he came back to me and said, yeah, this is not right.

[A]

Right?

[B]

This is not right. You're right, we're wrong. We're going to get this corrected. So Melvin's coming home, and I'm grateful for that because his mother had said she did not want to. She did not want to die while her son was incarcerated. So Melvin is coming home on Thursday. And I'm so excited because I haven't. I haven't seen him in a year, right? Since they moved him from Pensacola and sent him to Miami as a punishment, thinking she was breaking up the Tide squad. The whole compound was on was a Todd squad member other than you, Mandy Ramsey. So I'm grateful and blessed to be able to go pick him up. And this week alone, dates have been changed for literally so many people that I have been advocating for and that the Bureau of Prisons have. I've said, look at this file here, look at this one. And you're there because you see this happening. And, and literally once they started implementing these, you know, clear. Clearing up the calculations, right? Literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people's dates are changing, right?

[A]

And keep in mind, folks, this is not that they're doing something special, that they're, They're. This is just. They are fixing what has been broken.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

They are implementing what was already supposed to be implemented.

[B]

That's right.

[A]

And, and, and, and clearing these dates up that. To, to get these people.

[B]

That's right. I got a letter. I sent it to you yesterday from a kid who's from Kentucky. And his case managers, for the most part, 95% of all case managers are just worthless pieces of shit. They don't do their job. They sh. They don't show up half the time. They. They're supposed to have open houses for these men and women. They don't even show up for the open houses. They refuse to do what the director tells them to do. They say behind his back, they're not gonna do it. You got people like Dean up there. And I know I said I wasn't gonna say Dean's name again, you know, Dane from Kentucky. Dean's A case manager up in Kentucky. Uh, Dane's with the Bureau of Prisons. Dean doesn't want me saying Dean, but I'm gonna stop saying Dean after I say Dean today. Um, Dean still treats those men up there like garbage. Talked about Director Marshall like he was a dog when he left. But I blame that on that warden there. And again, I say this all the time, that it starts from, you got to cut the head of the snake off. And Chris, who's the warden up there, allows his staff members to talk shit about the director after. After the director came up there and toured that facility. Now, these wardens that should not. That should be relieved of their duties are the ones that breed these kind of environments that these men and women have to be subjected to, Right? Because Chris has no respect for the director, because if he did, he wouldn't talk shit behind his back. And Chris being the warden there in Kentucky. But I received a letter. I received an Instagram message from this kid.

[A]

You say Kentucky, you're talking about.

[B]

I'm talking about Ashland, Kentucky. Yes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Thank you.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

She keeps me.

[A]

Because there's more than one.

[B]

Yes, that's right.

[A]

Ashland, Kentucky.

[B]

And, you know, there are some good staff members. I believe there's good staff members at every prison. Right? But they are few and far between. They are the minority. But I received a message on Instagram, like, two months ago from this mother who lives in some part of Kentucky, and her son was in Marion. And I don't know where that is, but she was telling me, can you look at his paperwork? We just don't feel that it's correct. And so she sent me the paperwork, and I looked at it, and you were in the kitchen cooking that morning. And I said, well, this is not right. His paper's not. His paperwork's not right. And so I pick up the phone on a Saturday, folks, this is letting you know the difference within the Bureau of Prisons today versus when I was there. I pick up the phone, I send a message to Rick Stover on the weekend, send him the documents, and he came back within 15 minutes. He said, this is not correct. I will deal with it on Monday. Rick Stover dealt with it on Monday. This kid is now coming home. I don't know, 8 months, 12 months, something like that. Earlier than what the record said. He should have been coming home because it was not correct. And so I got a message from her saying, oh, my God, my son's date changed. Thank you so much. I said, well, it wasn't me. It was God, I'm just a worker bee. God's moving all these chess pieces around. So you read the letter that I got from this kid. He wrote me a letter from prison and said, I never thought that I would be writing a letter to Todd Chrisley. And he said I had lost all hope. And I remember talking to my girlfriend, fiance or whatever, and she said, guess who your mom's talking to online? Todd Chrisley. And the letter says that he told his fiance or girlfriend that. Yeah, but is he just going to say he'll look into it like everyone else does, or is he actually going to do anything? He said, but it did give me enough hope to hang on to the next day. And he says, and when I was called in and they told me that my date had changed, I just said, thank you, God, and thank you, Mr. Todd. And so those kind of letters mean something, right?

[A]

You know, because you don't know this kid.

[B]

I've never met them.

[A]

And I think that's what people also need to understand, that there are people that we've never met, we don't know. But it's. You know, numbers don't lie. So when you look at their paperwork, if it's not right and it's something that you feel like is not right, you pass it along to the higher up that say, either, yes, Todd, you're right, this is wrong, or no, this is correct, and this is why. And that happens, too. So, you know, it's important for people to know that.

[B]

And, you know, we were on Tamron hall this past week, and you. And Tamron says, well, you know, are you going to keep your commitment to these men and women that you said that you left behind? And I said, I do every day. And she said. And she said something. I said, well, I don't owe that to the world to disclose these people's personal business.

[A]

Right.

[B]

I don't have to go on here or go on television and say, I helped this person or this person or whatever. Those people know what I've done, right? And that's. And I'm doing it for them. I'm not doing it for ratings. I'm not doing it for a talking point on a talk show or what have you. And, you know, because you were in that house with me every day.

[A]

Right.

[B]

How long am I on the phone every day about this stuff?

[A]

A lot more than more, I would dare to say. More than any other project you're working on, this passion project is. Takes up more of your time.

[B]

Yes. And so, you know, God just keeps Moving in so many different directions for me. But the same thing always happens. It comes back to this.

[A]

I'm going to be touring the state prisons, a couple of the state prisons in the state of Texas in November because I want to, I want all states to implement humanity. I want all states to implement kindness and compassion. And I believe that what I am so blessed to be able to work on with Billy Marshall and Josh Smith, who's the deputy director for the Bureau of Prisons, I want to be able to take what we're implementing within the federal system and have states to implement it. And Texas is a state that, you know, that I have loved forever. And so for this to be my first tour of state facilities and it to be in Texas, I think is again, God's whisper, right. And I just feel like that so many things are happening and you know, my phone blows up all hours of the night from family members or you know, whoever it is saying, oh my God, my brother got his dad date changed. You know, my, my husband got his date changed. And you know, and I do focus a lot on the men because that's who I was there with, right. And so many of my, of my friends, they're either in halfway house or they're in home confinement now, right. So now we've started working on again. I ch, I'm sounding just like the Bureau of Prisons. I'm going to deal with the men first, let the women suffer a little bit longer. And I hate that it's sitting here thinking about that. That's what I've actually done. But you just gave me some paperwork this Week.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

For someone there that was at Kentucky. What's her name?

[A]

Somebody still is.

[B]

And so, you know, she doesn't want to say the name. I say my guys names because I want to put it out there on people's lips so that they know that we're looking into this, which is how it's moved a lot of people out. But if you don't want to say, that's fine. You gave me their paperwork.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And so I have now sent that over. I got a commitment back yesterday. I'll get you an answer tomorrow, meaning today. So we'll know about that today. And now we're going to be working on a lady that you were there in prison with under the elderly Act.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

To try to get her home.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And so we are going to continue helping because I believe for me that. And folks, if you'll notice, since I've come home, I have said that I believe this is for me, this is. Well from my perspective because I don't want Julie having to sign on board for anything that she doesn't believe in.

[A]

In.

[B]

But for me, I believe that it all comes back to our time was wasted in federal prison if we don't do as much with it as we can. You want to talk about trying to bring those 28 months back? You bring those 28 months back with every person you send home.

[A]

A day at a time. That's right, day at a time. By bringing someone home just because it may not seem like a big deal, but bringing somebody home a week early or a week earlier than what they thought they were going home or a month earlier is huge.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

It's, it's huge to people. I mean, when you're in there, every single day matters.

[B]

That's right. And you know, and, and if you're being abused, you leaving there an hour early.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Is an hour sooner to avoid the abuse that you might be subjected to an hour later.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So you know, going back, speaking about abuse, there's an officer there at Miami who I have reported Lua, who per the documents that I have received, is physically assaulting these men there in Miami. And so matter of fact, I think I'll just read that. So that way I out him very clearly. So officer Lua assaulted two more inmates yesterday. He's out of control. We're trying to get him on video now. Now these are staff members that sending this to me. Hopefully region is going to come here and interview inmates before this guy hurts someone. One of the inmates put in a cop out which now Cop out is you.

[A]

A grievance, right?

[B]

And you know where you're reporting something? One of the inmates put in a cop out to medical for shoulder pain due to him twisting their arm and shoving him into the wall in his office with the door shut. And he pulled the blinds down first before he assaulted him. It was premeditated. We have two more staff members here that are willing to come forward like I am and we'll speak with you because I've told them that you have not outed me. Now folks, Lua, listen to me. Lua the loser. You put your hands on one more inmate there, one more man, you wouldn't put your hands on them in the street. Cause they would clean the streets with your ass. You have now been reported. You are being reported to oia, Beth Reese, for your abuse of inmates in Miami. You need to be placed on suspension pending the investigation. You should not be compensated. Now I'm sure because it's a government agency, you'll get rewarded. You'll be put on, on suspension or pending the outcome of your investigation, you'll get to keep your salary. Cause that's how folks, it works. But your ass needs to be put on the streets to where these men can feel safe and go to bed at night and have some peace. But you have been reported. I have reported you to the regional director. I've reported you now to Beth Reese, the head of oia. I have reported you to Josh Smith. And I am now, when I get out of here off this podcast, I'm going to report you to Billy Marshall. So put your hands on somebody else. Speaking of that, I want to also out that the warden at Maxwell in Montgomery, Alabama has been put on the streets for 10 days now because he was found guilty of some bad, corrupt shit that he was doing that he shouldn't have been doing. So his punk ass is now on the street. And when I tell you another big one, one I don't even know how you know there and I don't want to, I am going to change the sub. But it segues into it. You know, Cash Patel just testified in front of Congress and you had the representative from Hawaii complaining that he was making the women that are in FBI do pull ups. You are signing up for a job that requires that you have a physical capability to do right. This has nothing to do with you being a female. You signed up for this job that is requiring you to have an ability physically to compete, to be able to take a perpetrator down, to be able to do what These other men are doing. You're signing up for that? I need a cash. Patel in the Bureau of Prisons. I have never seen so many fat out of shape people in my life.

[A]

Life.

[B]

And she's giving me a look right now, folks, and I'm not going back down from this stop. When I say fat, that means you are overweight. You are not performing to your body's basic capabilities and not the way that God built you for. You are to perform. Your body is to perform at its maximum capability when you. We are criminals, folks. In prison. That's how we're viewed. How are you going to take one of us down when you can't even. By the time you get your fat ass up, we've already gone 14 miles ahead of you. You should have a physical requirement in order to work for the Bureau of Prisons. If you're saying that you're there and that you're afraid for your life, then shouldn't you be in the maximum abilities of being able to say, I am performance driven? Would you not say that?

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I agree.

[B]

But now, how many did you have in Kentucky that was out of shape and that if y' all decided to, like, five of you team up on him, y' all could have taken him?

[A]

Well, yeah, that's true.

[B]

Okay, we should not have that. You should have a physical requirement. Take that test. If you don't pass it, move on. It's that simple. So you know, you've got this warden, Warden Washington there in Montgomery. Big man. Big man. He couldn't. If you own time, he's gonna run is if you said buffet. So at the end of the day, he's now been put out in the streets. This director, Billy Marshall, has said, I've had enough. You will run your camps and your facilities the way you're supposed to run them by our policy. And if you don't find you a job somewhere else that will settle for mediocre. The Bureau of Prisons has not even. You can't even say it's mediocre. It's just bottom of the barrel. So he's now out in the streets. So every time I get a report of a staff member putting their hands on an individual that is within the custody of the Bureau of Prisons, I'm going to report you. Now, the reason that I say this today and that I've said lua, you have been reported to the. The regional director. You've been reported to the deputy director. I'm going to report you to the director and to Beth Reese, who's the head of OIA is the reason I call these people's names out is for accountability. Because that's what the Bureau of Prisons has lacked forever. No accountability. Now when I attach a name to it, you can't say, well, I didn't know that. If had I only been made aware of that. You have been made aware of it. And I said this yesterday when I was on the phone reporting him. You've now been made aware of it, so you now must do something about it. And I will say that this regional director, that that's over the Southeast has been amazing. When he. When he says he's going to do something, he has done it, right? Stover says he's going to do something, he does it. Josh Smith, he does it. The director, he does it. So, you know, I've called out the people that I said I was going to call out.

[A]

Yeah, you've done it today, Todd. You've called out everybody.

[B]

Well, it just is what it is. And I mean, I hate that I cramp your style because, listen, we will. We'll go home, we'll get in the car, and she'll be heading her direction, I'll be heading mine. And this lovely woman that I had been married to is so. Who was so soft spoken and has no judgmental bone in her body. Introduce me to her. When you meet her, she will say, well, you did exactly what you said you weren't gonna do anymore. You said you was not gonna call people out by their names. You knew I was lying when I said that.

[A]

I did. So on that note, I know him, he knows me or thinks he does, and that's okay. But listen, thank you guys so much for tuning in to Back to Reality. It, I think, was a huge hit.

[B]

According to the network. It was the number one show on the network.

[A]

We are so grateful for that and we're just so grateful that we were able to be here. A small part of it at the end, because no one thought that that was going to happen.

[B]

That's right. But you've got many seasons yet to come of our lives and we appreciate each and every one of you for tuning in for all the projects that we do, for the projects that we're that are in the makings right now. And because I know you guys are going to love them. And so from our heart and home to yours, good luck and God bless. This September, CBS hits are streaming free on Pluto tv.
