We need to make a change. We need to be better. Everyone has a voice. Everyone has a platform, whether it be just one person or a million people, you have a platform for change (0:06). Review - King in the Wilderness (9:38). What is the role of sports in all of this? Teams are releasing statements. Athletes are speaking out (24:00).

night thinking about this show, thinking about the opportunity that we have right now, right

0:35.2

this second in this world, in this country, in your city, in your state, in your town,

0:42.7

in your house, at your table. This is your moment. And I'm not going to let this moment pass.

Thank you for listening and downloading nothing personal and watching.

Thank you to CBS, CBS sent a letter to all of its employees, the CEO and then the chief
