" With the Reverend Al Sharpton who today honored the -- track of the Jackson Andrew Jackson. Reverend it was this during sermon there and you really gave back accolades where I think that they are appropriate. Are you concerned -- that it's been so little action on the investigation into the facts and circumstances."

Nothing has been done. Be kidding -- be very alarmed at where is this -- And now we see you and the film come out say how healthy Michael well."

" What did what happened. So go on the eve the debut of the film this is you have an image being portrayed up your son has been healthy vibrant. Do you believe that is. And authentic."

" And let word about this movie -- I don't think it's in the real and it demanded you know this rehearsals. And made him aware of and the it's -- On the stand is making a lot of money you know the world my always had wanted to -- movies decorate rooms and things so this. Just -- his stances that I can't believe he's not here. And other similar lab and did -- so that's one reason. And then go to -- and once. -- I would say the Washington in the casket that America. And they want to remember him -- a box and always going to remember him. On states you know -- in the people you know."

" We'll look -- doesn't at least portray him Bangladesh did -- all these. -- brand that -- and charismatic I mean there is that upside and that. I guess so I haven't seen moment you know. And we can see where this comes you know you -- have really been the scapegoat and it seems to me you have been portrayed by the enemy is. Well I -- I won't even say the -- you've been portrayed by certain people with certain commercial interests as the man who. Was abusive who -- Michael -- who in every negative way possible affected your --"

" My kids was properly or me you know. And and since -- that -- I'm -- nice summary of the -- an important things sort of the of those -- with hidden terrible. One thing always try to do -- problem and respect through people and everybody. In the -- Do you describe your relationship with Michael in the last few years. I thought I have a good relationship on the one time -- you know group that is gates and see him an honest and -- tennis. My they do there with my parents. McCarthy in the two group because of and the one camera had gotten through this -- him. -- and become freedom to me you predicted Michael would not be with. Alone for -- from them because he looks so frailty of the year so frail and knowing he was that -- that and move some things about. Where she didn't go and -- have you have this."

" The the children how are your grandchildren. And how are they dealing with life. With their father."

" And they haven't looked -- him again he -- this. You know I mean. Its -- around the police. Three games and they moved to the movies and I think they haven't attacked."

" Do they ever ask you questions about their dad or do they understand what."

" They know where they -- more than me. They know an avenue and into Monday through him and sometimes I ask -- things you know in this press that transcends. Have you haven't noticed your father. British. -- But some repressed you know did you see in -- some of his own thing. Sentinel my father never had a mock some apple -- on this. Is at play here warned here on his left arm. And -- is right now wanted to let him in the givens. Medicine when those couldn't. It but that's -- in new report. And loses it -- it and ended."

" It was say the remarks of all over his own -- it was not true that Michael had Marx hello Chris."

" Even if they were men and medically fit given them. They came -- then somehow. Do you believe as you said at the time that there was foul play here do you think this was a tragic accident -- Things -- through investigating. -- Nine on the fringe and can hit the bottom of -- mention this because. Yes and we've got this -- Michael's children via chip. And that's up to him to this."

" Have talent who -- objectives mountain. Generate the latest on the criminal probe by Jackson's that the star -- you need -- room and joined the white electorate."

" You know like I don't know the man then you obviously like him but I think that you know his having a fund raiser for himself before you know the film which she had nothing to do it. Could be accused of being a shameless self promoter and -- Michael Jackson. Called him someone who abused him and Michael Jackson intentionally let the monitors will. I mean it is really delusional he announces he's starting a new company three days after his son dies -- he's deep in his eighties and he's an old it eighties."

" You know person no idea how he's pled not the most articulate in the world it's easy to trip him up."

" I get -- he's old but at the same time he's not stupid he's making a lot of money --"

" I think that's that's true as well."

" What about the progress in the investigation -- surprised that we -- and he can't read or indicted yes yes I think what's happening is the prosecutors having trouble trying to. Isolate the actions of Conrad Murray from the death of Michael. In other words -- Michael so addicted and already at the point where a doctor treating it wouldn't know. How vulnerable he was but I also think it's LA and I think they're really taking their time to make sure that they feel about -- sorry going to."

" That it shouldn't be you're not what it should not be I agree that tiger that he is the most immediately responsible but certainly not -- arrow that's how could you stand on the."
