When public figures apologize for insensitive content, they must demonstrate genuine understanding of the real-world consequences of their words, rather than relying on performative gestures or superficial donations. James Charles's repeated apologies for his Spirit Airlines video, where he mocked a laid-off employee, were criticized for being insincere and lacking real comprehension of economic hardship, despite his claims of learning from the backlash.

James Charles F**ked Up Again...Added:
James Charles's third apology. Why is he still apologizing? Go >> and talk.
>> Well, I mean, the first two apologies were quite bad. They were both >> the video that I posted >> like posted naked in bed.
>> Well, so it seemed like >> So, that seemed like a poor choice.
>> It seemed like the third one, the second one seemed good other than that he was shirtless and better. Good as in Let's hear what Let's see what he did. I thought it was insincere because it was like way too apologizy and it was like two-hour difference from the first one where he's like, "Fuck you. I'm right."
>> He still couldn't be bothered to get out of bed.
>> So, here he's now he's sitting crisscross applesauce.
>> Should you remind everyone um what he is apologizing for cuz it we're three apologies deep. It might be a little vague.
>> Yeah, he there someone just cold messaged him asking for money essentially and he just put him on blast like crazy. somebody who had just been laid off at Spirit Airlines, which famously here in the States just uh laid off all its employees and went bankrupt like two weeks ago or something. So, so he's been catching a lot of [ __ ] which again ironic considering this guy actually trying to [ __ ] children, but this is the one that's got him catching [ __ ] Okay, I'll take it, you know.
>> Mhm.
>> There was a billboard up in LA. I don't know if you guys saw for a short time.
>> Yeah. on a billboard >> about him being a prred. Big prred. You know that like to call him big prred.
>> Didn't hear about that.
>> Anyway, here it is. Let's hear it.
>> Two weeks ago.
>> He's also linking to his merch in the description. Paintedpro.org art. So, >> what the [ __ ] Sponsored apologies.
>> So, take that for what it is.
>> Okay. Very good. Start.
>> Yo, my ball my boy is dressed like a basketball. What's going on with his shirt?
>> More like a volleyball, I would say.
Right.
>> Yeah, cuz he wants to bounce on it.
I don't know.
>> Sorry.
>> About the Spear Airlines situation was awful. That video was terrible. It was nasty. It was disrespectful. It was completely unnecessary. And seeing clips of it all over my for you page is embarrassing to say the least.
>> There is no excuse for making that video. So, I'm not going to sit down today and try to give you one. I [ __ ] up. Point blank. Period. When I initially posted that video, it was on my spam account, which for anybody that might not be familiar is basically my second page where every piece of content >> You're making You're making excuses.
>> YOU JUST >> YOU JUST said it.
>> Why was that? Why would that context matter, James, you said that [ __ ] you put it online. I don't care if it's from your spam account. That's from my predator account.
>> You guys, I would never do that on Maine. How how >> crashing out and yelling at the camera over any random topic.
>> Is that right?
>> The videos are supposed to be relatable and funny and I talk about things like the hivirus crew.
>> The video is supposed to be relatable.
Everybody >> cost of guacamole >> is super rich and is being asked for donations for like what what about that is relatable. That rant.
>> You never been asked for money on the on a red light.
>> I mean I suppose I have. It feels a little different.
>> Maybe to you.
>> Okay, fair. James is one of us. I'm He's just like us.
>> He's just like us. He hates the homeless.
>> Oh, in LA. Don't get me started.
>> But nothing about that Spirit Airlines video was in line with that content at all. I to be completely honest with you don't know what I was going through that day that led to me or allowed me to be so >> You are going through anything. That's who you are, Bob.
>> Right.
>> Excuse number two. by an individual one-off message like that. And I really don't know what the hell went through my head to think it was appropriate in any way, shape, or form to make a piece of content about somebody reaching out asking for a helping hand at a vulnerable time. The intention behind that video was not to accuse anybody unemployed of being lazy, and it was also not to accuse any hardworking people of not working hard enough.
>> You did do that, though.
>> You did do that, buddy. You did that.
And and by the way, the fact that you did it What he needs to say is like I'm so out of touch.
>> Yeah.
>> That I've made a I've insulted so many of you.
>> Right.
>> He's not going to say that though.
>> I would say that is how the video came across and I feel [ __ ] terrible for contributing to those narratives.
>> We're going to need a fourth apology.
This is already [ __ ] borked completely. Like he [ __ ] it up. This is not a good apology.
>> We need a fourth apology. Go ahead.
>> I feel like um he met with his PR team and they're like, "First of all, you're going to need to be fully closed like middle of the day. I want you to sit crisscross applesauce and have it like the like, >> you know, >> directly at your dick."
>> Yeah. The angle doesn't feel that serious. Like he should be sitting at a desk.
>> Yes. I feel like it's all very intentional.
>> No, no. The [ __ ] shot, the [ __ ] POV is not a good angle.
>> Hi, I'm Dick Tiff.
>> Right.
and dick too.
>> You know, >> I demand a fourth apology. This is not This is not going to cut it, James.
>> I don't want >> I don't forgive you.
>> Yeah. This And what what do you want me to feel? That I'm on the ground compared to you? You're that I'm nothing >> looking up at you.
>> Yeah. I'm looking up at God, James Charles, who's basically, you know, >> towering beyond reproach.
>> Tall freak.
>> If you want to talk, talk to my dick, which is on your level. It's so arrogant. And by the way, also in front of his beautiful house.
Go ahead and apologize, bro. By the way, almost 700,000 likes. The people love it.
>> They love it. Not really. If you look at the comments, they don't.
>> Yeah, but but look at the likes.
>> Who cares?
>> But people that like it don't go and leave mean comments.
>> But the the people who like it often times aren't real people.
>> They're children >> because Oh, you mean do you mean like bots or children? Yes, >> I think there are real people that >> I'm sure there's some, but no, come on.
>> I'm sorry. I wish you were right. I do.
I do.
>> Let's not be naive.
>> I think you're being naive.
>> You think by and large those are bots, Dan?
>> No, not by and large, but like I what? Judging judging public sentiment based off of social media likes is a fool's errand. Like so much of it is manipulated and fake that like being like, "Oh, he must have support cuz people are liking this." You can buy 100,000 likes. Jimmy Lee used to get [ __ ] million likes on his posts. You know what I mean?
>> That's true. That's true.
>> That's different. This was his last post. Well, I mean, look, it has 28 million views.
>> Mama.
>> And that's >> Was that like ratio even good then for how many views that has?
>> Let's see. Here's his Let me find something comparable.
Um, this one has 18. Oh, no. this one.
Okay, here's Coachell. This has 20 million. It's less, but >> again, you guys are all >> This one has 1.6 million. So, yes, considerably less than normal.
>> Okay, there you go.
>> Post this video today. There will probably be comments of people saying, you know, James, you're only making this response because of the backlash. And I want you to know that is true.
>> He's so bad at this. This is awesome.
>> I love how he's like, I'm going to be >> Who is his PR team? I want to be radically honest with you guys and tell you that I don't care about anything.
>> I am being forced to do this against my will.
>> This is completely disingenuous. I want you to know that. I'm like, "Oh my god, his honesty is so refreshing."
>> Oh, that's great.
>> When I first posted this video, clearly I didn't see a problem with it. It embarrassingly did take people making videos and me getting hate comments and backlash to actually take a step back, put myself in check, and realize what I said here is not okay. And now I need to educate myself as to why. And that's what I've been working on doing over the last two weeks.
>> I have to in the library.
>> I've been What are you doing working on a [ __ ] construction site? What do you mean?
>> Are you serving [ __ ] McDonald's? Like what do you mean? What education are you?
>> He's No, he's working at the airport for Spirit or some other discount carrier.
He's working for Frontier. He's out there with the lights.
>> That's actually a good job. He's not ready for >> He's not ready for that. No.
>> Yeah. Yeah. You need to be pretty responsible for that.
>> Yeah.
>> And since then, a lot of people have reached back out. The original Spirit Airlines employee did end up coming forward. So, I was able to send her a private apology and donate to her GoFundMe.
>> Nobody cares. Dumb ass. Wait, how much did he give her GoFundMe?
>> I don't know. which should be public, right?
>> I suppose so.
>> If it's under a,000, he's the biggest dumbest loser idiot ever. It can't be, though, right? I bet it's got to be like 5,000 or something.
>> Uh, I'm looking for any guesses.
>> No, you're going to love this.
>> How many? Wait, wait, any guesses? You saw it?
>> Yeah, I saw it.
>> I haven't seen it yet.
>> It's got to be at least >> based off a loves. I feel like that gave it away. It's got to be low.
>> It's got to be at least 500.
>> Oh my god.
>> What you see?
>> 500. What?
>> 500.
>> 500, dude.
>> Bro, he's so rich, too.
>> He's probably one of the richest influencers out there. Like, he's a >> 100 millionaire in my opinion.
>> Probably.
>> God, dude.
>> That >> Are we sure? Hold on. Could there be more?
>> He could be anonymous.
>> Well, just go by top. I mean, you'll see top. That's it.
>> That's it.
>> Yeah.
500, bro. Really, dude?
>> God.
>> Maybe he did it to multiple. I'm seeing.
>> No, if there was multiple, they'd be here.
>> Well, like Oh, so he donated to a bunch of different employees. $500 to a bunch of different people.
>> Well, who's this? Isn't the girl?
>> I see. Yeah.
>> So, how much did he Why did he do that?
>> Uh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, hold on.
Hold on.
>> Cuz he's been studying.
>> I'm finding at least if you go to Quick James Charles profile there, >> he donated 500 to a bunch of Spirit Airline employees.
>> All right. Okay. Well, no. I want him to hook up.
>> How many?
>> Yeah.
>> One, two, three.
>> A lot. A lot.
>> Interesting.
>> And they're all 500.
>> Mhm.
>> But he should he should have uh >> Did he hook her up >> for her? Yeah.
>> 13 is saying, >> "Why do all these people Why do all these people Do you make a gofund when you get fired? Is that a thing?"
>> I think because this >> Oh my god. We got to help this woman.
>> Yeah, cuz she needs a prosthetic. She only She's only raised $200.
>> Oh my god.
>> She's only raised $200. James, why should you give this poor woman? $200.
>> We should match that.
>> Why did you give her only $200? This woman needs an eye.
>> He just came across it.
>> Wait, I mean, not that it's bad that he donated to her, but was he just >> Maybe she lost it on a spirit.
>> This is 16 days ago, too. So, he's probably just going through his DMs.
>> She's like, "This this >> Yeah, >> this old hag needs an eye." You thought I was going to say the B- word.
>> No, that's not what I thought you were going to say.
This is so interesting. He's just These are all after the controversy.
>> Helping a mom of two rebuild after abuse.
>> Oh my god.
>> 250. He's the only donator.
>> He must have gone through his DMs just >> I don't Do you even think it was honestly him or you think it was somebody that works for him that would just did it for him?
>> Yeah, probably somebody works for him.
But regard It's his money.
>> I think in the interest of fairness, we were dunking on for that 500. It seems very clear that he donated a pretty substantial amount of money to people.
Well, so well, actually, do you know what? So, I want someone to go add it all up. Go ahead, Galia or someone or anyone. Wait, 13. Did you already do that, Galia? She >> She already did it.
>> Did you actually already do that?
>> 13. 500 a piece is 70.
>> No, no, no. They're not all 500 >> or some 200.
>> Some are less.
>> Oh, some are less.
>> Like Nana needs an eye was like 250.
>> But that didn't seem related to the Spirit Airlines thing.
>> Then what the [ __ ] is he do? Yeah, it didn't. What was he doing?
>> This what love was saying. He was going through his DMs and uh click on gofundme panicking.
>> So he gave donating as much as he can.
>> So >> that's a good hustle, bro. Start sending GoFundMes to Jim Charles. My gift for 200 bucks.
>> Ma'am, get out of the stove. You are way too big. That is just taking up way too much space for luggage.
>> No wonder Spirit Airlines went out of business. Is deeply inappropriate. No, that's how badly they treated their employees.
>> They didn't have seats. They just shoved them up in the package container.
>> Okay. I didn't know James Charles's last name was Dickinson.
>> It's It's under reportported.
>> It is.
>> Yeah. We've talked about it before cuz the Dick Dickensson.
>> Dick and your son.
>> Oh, wow. I'm put that doesn't come up more often, but it is what it is.
>> James Charles Dick and your son.
That's sick. Do people really just make gofunds me when they get fired? Is that a thing?
>> Well, again, this was a I think I mean, first of all, yes, probably to some extent. Um, but this got a lot more media attention cuz this I mean is a major airline going business.
>> Most of these he's the only donator.
Imagine you make one. You go through like the embarrassment and the and the effort to make one and you post it everywhere and nobody donates. That's a risk I'm not willing to take.
>> Well, I think a lot of people do it and then share it around their local community and like family and >> well most of these he's the only one.
>> Like most of these are multiple people.
>> Yeah, I didn't see any that were he was the only one.
>> Only the bottom eye one was only him. We got to get her an eye.
>> Well, donate.
>> Donate.
>> I don't feel like it.
>> You can't call for that and then not donate.
>> How much do I need to give her to make a difference?
>> 200,000.
>> James Charles.
>> I don't even know who she is.
>> James Charles gave 200. Why don't you give 201?
>> Yes, do that. I'm going to give 201.
I had to appeal to your >> By the way, I didn't real James Charlesed him or her.
>> You guys are so generous with my money.
James Charles vetted them.
>> You It's not that. You just said we got to get this woman and I >> All right, I'll put in 200. Who wants to pitch in with me, guys? Come on.
>> I'll put in not 200, but I'll put in a little bit.
>> I'll do 200 with the company card.
>> Yeah. How are you going to pay me back, Dan?
>> No, I'll do it from the company card.
>> Oh, with the >> I don't have my own money to get to get Sophia's mom and I >> give her 201.
>> That's what I'm doing.
>> Thank you. Do you want to tip GoFundMe?
>> [ __ ] no. I'll give him a dollar. Give him a dollar.
>> They do it by percentage. Oh, you can do enter custom tip. $1 >> for your trouble.
>> For your trouble.
>> Two bucks. One's enough.
>> I don't owe them anything.
>> Well, this is this video's inspired some really good uh community outreach. I'm I'm I've given this lady with a no eye $2001.
Wow. Pretty life-changing stuff.
Definitely send a screenshot.
>> It will be for her. You're saying that sarcastically.
>> She's not even close.
>> What?
>> How much I How much she need for a night?
>> How much? Wait, how much is she asking for?
>> 2,000.
>> Oh, so I get >> 2,000. Well, you're getting her uh over 10% of the way there.
>> Let's see her through this journey.
>> Should we follow up with her?
>> Should we add the GoFundMe to the description?
>> Yeah.
>> Honestly, I don't hate it. But at that point, nope.
If >> I bet there's someone in the audience that makes eyes for a living.
>> Honestly, there's a good chance. There's always someone with something. Anybody in the audience just got eyeballs laying around? We could do some major savings for her.
>> Let's get her to Mr. Beast. She get a little Mr. Beast.
>> I gave this woman with one eye.
>> A sinus infection.
>> I gave her a feastable's eye.
>> Wait, is there a way to put a custom name? I think it's going to show my name. No, it's not. You can >> It's the company car, but It's the company car, but it has my name on it.
>> Oh, you can definitely put in a custom name.
>> Well, I'm trying.
>> This guy wants all the credit.
>> I'm trying to change it, I guess.
>> Go ahead, Dan. I'll take the credit of you.
>> Ro's pulling in a Nissa right now.
>> It's all about Dan. Dan. Dan. Dan. Dan.
>> I really don't see a way to change it.
>> It's fine.
>> I'm sure. I'm sure it's impossible. The technology doesn't >> How about this? Don't display my name or profile publicly. No, that's even worse.
We need some We need some That's way worse.
>> Why do you need the credit?
>> That's the whole point of doing charity.
>> What are you talking about, bro?
>> You crazy.
>> Yeah, there was a whole uh curb episode.
>> Done. Done.
>> All right, >> done.
>> Damn, you guys should be in awe of my generosity right now. Crazy. What you going to do when I bend the block, pull up on that ass with a brand new drop on blast with tremendous >> I'm going to donate anonymously.
>> So if you see any anonymous donation, it's probably me. Yeah, me too. Like me can't nobody hustle harder than me.
>> Yeah. I mean that seems odd that you can't like like it has to use your >> I think you can change it afterwards.
>> Can you?
>> Yeah. Just do just be dance for love.
It's fine. We'll we'll move on with then people know. As long as people know, that's all that matters.
>> All right, go on, James. You [ __ ] creep. [ __ ] volleyball looking ass.
>> [ __ ] you.
>> As well as several other Spear Airlines employees that were also affected by the bankruptcy. However, I'm well aware that an apology video and a couple of donations from my couch in LA are not enough. In the initial video, I made a comment of like, "Welcome to the real world. Why don't you just go get another job?" And I now realize that that is literally just not possible. I knew that the >> He's so annoying. You know that. You know that. This is This reminds me of like Logan Paul's apology for find for the dead for the suicide forest. He's doing like the same tone in a way.
>> I really hate to say this. I think there's someone hanging right there.
But honestly, between all the the controversies, I still think trying to [ __ ] kids is probably the worst of them.
And that's the Wii he erased.
>> Oh yeah, bro.
>> So, I don't know what to make of that.
You guys do the do the conclusion.
>> And the job market weren't great, but I'm ashamed to admit my level of ignorance when it came to how bad it actually was. But now I'm definitely more in the loop because the last two weeks have been spent having a lot of >> You don't know a single person that's like in the workforce.
Like it's just impossible.
>> And honestly, it even makes him sound dumber. He's like, I had no idea that people needed to get jobs or even what that is.
>> All right. So, I donated uh $21 in your name, but it's under my name. It says Daniel Sword Love. And then I donated myself for my own credit card. And that one did. And that one's also dance word love.
>> How much did you donate?
>> 40 bucks.
>> Wow. What a guy.
>> Yeah.
>> Dance word love, ladies and gentlemen.
Up.
>> So I'm on there twice.
>> What a generous king.
>> I also donated under dance word love.
>> Everybody get in there. Dance. All the dance of the world. Pile in.
>> I am Spartacus.
>> I am Dan Sword Love.
>> I'm Spartacus.
>> I am Dan Wllo.
>> I'm Spartacus.
>> That's a crazy reference. Crazy reference that you pulled that. Wow.
Crazy.
>> Conversations and listening to people whether it was >> Oh my god.
>> A supporter or non supporter.
>> Are we really going to watch this whole thing?
>> Yes.
>> It's so long.
>> Yeah. I mean, this is good stuff.
>> This is the main feast.
>> This is Thanksgiving dinner.
>> Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow.
>> My bad. My bad.
>> If you don't like it, you can leave.
>> Just edit. Go edit.
>> Yeah. Don't you have work to do?
>> I know.
>> Go at it.
>> But I was waiting cuz I wanted to hear about the Britney stuff. Okay, I'll >> let you know. I'll let we'll let you know.
>> It's tomorrow, everybody. She has opinions. Lots of opinions.
>> Diddly do.
>> Diddly dingo.
>> You only like the cream filled ones, freak.
>> Gross. Not true.
>> You know, if you don't go to the cinema that what?
>> You know, if you don't go to the cinema that often, you forget.
>> Forget what?
Sloppy Joe's.
>> All right, this is nonsense.
>> I have just been reading and taking in as many stories as I possibly can to better understand what it is actually like living in the real world because >> this is like the most Marie Antoinette ass [ __ ] Like, shut the [ __ ] up, bro.
I'm reading. Oh my, your lives are so interesting.
I didn't realize you guys have to wake up and go to a place and work. That's so crazy.
Is that true?
I just read Oliver Twist, you guys.
>> Clearly, I now understand and realize I have been far departed from that for a very [ __ ] long time because of the privileged, secluded little influencer bubble that I have been in. People have shared stories with me about getting laid off, companies filing for bankruptcy. People have told me about wanting to work but not being able to because of disability or medical or even people applying for hundreds of jobs and never hearing back from recruiters. I've heard people tell me that they have >> Dude, I I >> It's a crazy video.
>> How did you not know all that?
>> Somehow this is the worst one.
>> [ __ ] crazy. It just feels so desperately fake. It's like, bro, you know how you know about jobs. He's like, "I have never heard about a job before.
This is all brand new."
>> We we we call it J O here to not trigger anyone.
>> Yeah, exactly. It's a naughty word.
>> I joked at the beginning that he was hitting the books to read about he read definition of job >> and he started from there.
>> He's got his reading glasses on. He's taking notes in the library.
>> So, this is a uh this is a what they call a job, is it?
>> Mhm. Oh my >> a wage. Am I pronouncing Is it w a pronounced >> down his nose?
>> Yeah.
>> Is that is that so 9 to5 you say?
>> Fascinating. That's long.
>> That's all day.
>> My my my >> surely this is a >> day. Not every day, sir. That can't be.
Oh, that looks quite heavy.
Do you have one of your servants come and help you carry that?
>> They get paid by the hour.
>> What a [ __ ] idiot, bro. What a stupid [ __ ] idiot.
>> Two three.
>> And by the way, top it all off with the link to his [ __ ] makeup.
>> Apparently there there's context to that link.
>> I'm okay.
>> Okay. Okay.
>> Explain it to us. All right.
still can't put food on the table because the cost of living is just that high. And I now realize that most people want to work but quite literally cannot.
>> I want to see him at a soup kitchen. You know what I mean? Give me this. Go. I want to see you scooping soup for the riff raff here in LA. I want to see you going tentto tent giving sandwiches out.
I want to see him do an undercover boss, but it's at the uh the like Malaysian uh slave >> the Malaysian factory that makes his makeup.
>> Yeah, that is what I want to see. He's like, "Oh, I don't care. I only care about American workers."
>> Oh, I knew they were slaves. I already knew that.
>> Because the circumstances completely out of their control and a system that is working against them every single step of the way. And I feel awful for contributing to the idea that if you're not working overtime, you're not working hard enough. Because that should NOT BE THE REALITY, WHICH I'M OKAY WITH.
>> I hate you.
>> I know that my job as an influencer is easy as hell, right? I have such a blessed job to be able to make videos online and teach people how dude how to do makeup.
>> Nobody wants to. Nobody Why does he I just don't understand why this guy's still being watched by anyone. It's so [ __ ] obscene, guys. Just before this, he was doing the soda challenge. 75 million views, Dan, for the soda challenge. I'm >> This was the day before. This is the day before he got on his knees and self flagagillated for forgiveness.
>> There's only one comment and it only has seven likes.
>> Cool. IG. Cool. I guess the [ __ ] >> Hello. So, I have seven cola flavored drinks in front of me and I'm going to see if I can guess them. Shout out to Michael and Mackenzie. I'm channeling him. Let's go.
>> 75 million.
>> That to me is just giving classic Coke.
Oh my god. Maybe I'm not as good at this as I thought. Hold on. Okay, number two.
>> You would cheat on this, too.
>> Wait, why did I like this? It said I liked it.
>> What?
>> Now you liked it.
>> No, it started with >> Really?
>> Wa start? I know.
>> That's crazy.
>> Okay, number two. It's definitely more flat. So, it's giving 100% either Coke Zero or Diet Coke. I am not a diet coke.
I don't totally know the difference between the two of them. Number three.
>> What are you even doing?
>> Number four.
>> All right. Apparently, there's more.
I'll just keep watching.
>> Oh, get through this.
>> Clearly, I have lost touch with the amount of privilege that it is to be able to do this for a living. And I'm really embarrassed by that and obviously need to come back down to earth and do my best to use my platform for the right reasons. Clearly, I have done not the best job of that in the past, but I can always do a better job in the future.
And I want to showcase to you guys that I've heard the backlash. I'm learning.
And I want to put my money where my mouth is and hopefully be able to make a longl lasting impact. Today, I'm going to be launching the Painted Project.
This is a brand new organization that I'm working on building with my team with an initial personal contribution of $250,000.
>> That's a lot of dough. We got Well, >> he's putting in a4 million dollars, but what's it going to? What is it?
>> We got to keep an eye on this painted project. Significant amount of money.
>> Well, what is it? Let's hear.
>> Every single cent of that is going to go directly towards helping people in need that have been affected by a crisis.
Now, I will be transparent and say that launching something like this is not fast and it's not easy. It's fine. It's going to be a multi-year thing.
>> Multi-year $250,000.
How long does it take to give away $250,000 to make a lasting impact?
>> I don't know.
>> On the job market, >> what makes it I I need more details. I don't know.
>> Putting my all into, but we're starting off with three initial launch phases.
>> The first phase that is going to be starting next week into project >> there's a two this is $250,000 in this.
We're doing phases, a multi-year project.
>> It's the human fund.
>> And this sounds like a load of [ __ ] org is going to be initial emergency relief funding. This means direct cash support and resources towards people that have been [ __ ] over by circumstances completely out of their control and hopefully being able to help out those individuals to get back up on their feet working again so they can put food on the table for themselves and their families. The second phase of this is going to be working with local organizations that are actually on the ground to make sure that once those people are back up working again in the workforce, they're able to stay in those career paths to continue being successful and growing. The third, >> none of this will happen.
>> I don't really >> none of this will happen.
>> I mean, it sounds nice, but I just I'm not uh >> I don't even think he's just showing how there's no shot what he's describing is like a huge project, >> right? Yeah.

I would love to be able to fully fund and sponsor tuitions and scholarships to hopefully make the jump into these creative fields a little bit easier.
>> Now, I definitely have more ideas of future phases that I would love to be able to bring to life for the painted project, but for right now, these are just the first three that we are working on. And you can currently log on to paintedpro.org to learn more about our game plan and our timeline of how we're going to bring the >> log in. I'm going to that. I'm going to that.
