<v Speaker 3>happening in celebrity news. But before I say my news,

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 3>I just listened to that song that just went off there,

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.360
<v Speaker 3>and I just discovered something. Honey, jay Z that little

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 3>boy saying that he's jay Z's son. He may be

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.120
<v Speaker 3>jay Z's son because I listened to the lyrics just

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 3>now and he said in that song, let's go half

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:35.600
<v Speaker 3>on the sun, my past ain't one. He could be

0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 3>that child could be his son.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 4>That song proves it, huh.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 3>And it proves it.

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 5>But maybe he's saying my past, I don't have one

0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:43.600
<v Speaker 5>in my past? My past not yeah, I mean like

0:00:43.640 --> 0:00:46.280

0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 5>don't have one yet? If he says my past ain't none.

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.480

<v Speaker 3>said Wendy's statement made him reflect on his own past

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 3>honey approach to broadcast. That means that Wendy Williams said

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>to us at dinner is exactly where my energy was,

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 3>he said. Now they're saying that the former talk show

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.040
<v Speaker 3>host now sixty two hundred, was forced to retire from

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.919

<v Speaker 3>with dementia and a phasian. Now she has spent y'all

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 3>the past several years at Katari, a luxury assistant living

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 3>facility in New York, and she previously y'all lived on

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.360
<v Speaker 3>a locked ward at the same facility. Do y'all believe

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 3>in karma?

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Is calma real?

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:45.720
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Really?

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 5>So's darma?

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 5>For sure, you get what that's biblical. You get what

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:50.519
<v Speaker 5>you gain.

0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 4>You you know, I don't think the way Wendy Williams

0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 4>did it, it wasn't mean. Sometime it was it was

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 4>close to being mean, but it was so entertained in

0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 4>the way she did it or whatever.

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>But maybe in her latter years, but early in her years,

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>her radio years, if you go back.

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.440
<v Speaker 5>And everybody was it was nervous to go to her.

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 6>I was one of those artists that was very nervous

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 6>to go to her because you never knew what she

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 6>was gonna say. And even if you try to do

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:25.760
<v Speaker 6>your best interview, she was going to say something to

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 6>to make you.

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 1>When you're outing people and you putting people in really

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>really awkward and uncomfortable situations by focusing on things that

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>they really didn't want out publicly, we can't.

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 5>Judge and say that it's karma.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 6>If that if that's what she feels like, then that's

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 6>her opinion. I think everything is God's will, So whatever

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.120
<v Speaker 6>is going on, if this may be to make her better,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 6>to make her I don't know, but I just feel

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 6>like everything is God's will and it's not up to

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 6>me to say it's karma.

0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 4>And even if she did show that, she didn't do that.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 4>You know, uh, people people illness is their ill illness.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.760
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't try to connect it to karma because God

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 4>to give us all, you know what I'm saying, She

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.840
<v Speaker 4>didn't do. It's some people around here are did way

0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 4>way more bad stuff and they's super healthy and happy

0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:17.719
<v Speaker 4>and rich and all that kind of stuff or whatever.

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Song.

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't blame Karma on that.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I hate her saying thinking that, Yes, we love Wendy,

0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 3>I love Winning no matter what. I don't care what

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 3>she said about nobody, me or whomever. I loved Missus Williams.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 3>I rushed to the TV every day to watch it.

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.680
<v Speaker 5>Talk about you. I know you want to be in

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 5>that number, but she never thought.

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:45.680
<v Speaker 6>I was on the show a few times actually, but

0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm not even talking about back in the day.

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.120
<v Speaker 5>She talked about all of us as artists, so.

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 4>I thought were important, sitting in the dressing getting out,

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 4>make up done for this nature one day and we

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.479
<v Speaker 4>were watching Windy and she was talking about us and blah,

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.839
<v Speaker 4>here was turned to looked at each other laughing. Damn.

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, we had the opportunity to go on that

0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:08.760
<v Speaker 4>show twice.

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:05:10.880 --> 0:05:12.479
<v Speaker 4>She was always nice to me. She ain't never do

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 4>no message stuff to me when I went on there.

0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:17.719
<v Speaker 4>And then one time I remember when time johnifertime she

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.320
<v Speaker 4>talked about that and then she also shout at me

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.479
<v Speaker 4>out sitting next to her parents at church one Sunday.

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 6>She said, I flirted with I had to get that straight,

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 6>did you. Yeah, absolutely I did not, But I did

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 6>get that straight and let her know, like she was

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:34.920
<v Speaker 6>a nice person and stuff, but she definitely wouldn't my

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 6>cup of tea.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:37.160
<v Speaker 4>And the way you did it was funny.

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:38.719
<v Speaker 5>It was you know what I didn't.

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 6>I didn't try to be malicious at all. I just

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 6>had to let her know I had receipts too. She

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 6>was saying I was a smooth operator and all this

0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 6>other stuff like I wasn't smooth operating up on.

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 5>You, girl, smooth. I take the credit for that.

0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 6>But you know I got a beautiful wife, and you

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.279
<v Speaker 6>will not say I tried to holler at you.

0:05:59.000 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 5>So I had to straighten out.

0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 6>It was a very funny episode doing I'm grateful that

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.240

<v Speaker 4>How are you man? Blessing? How to favorite?

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 5>How you feeling?

0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.439
<v Speaker 2>Man? I feel exactly the same. My kids love me

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 2>and the rest don't matter. So listen, we are seeing

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 2>some really interesting things happen around politics. I mean, I

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.679
<v Speaker 2>think that the thing that I'm most encouraged by, even

0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 2>though I've been encouraged by quite a bit, is seeing

0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:38.400
<v Speaker 2>how Angie Nixon just destroyed all conventional wisdom in Florida

0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:41.720
<v Speaker 2>to pull out this upset. And I think there are

0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 2>people that are talking about, well, she's riding the wave

0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 2>of democratic socialism. She was outspent in ways that it's

0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 2>just insane. But I think one of the things that

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>excites me more is it I don't think it's about

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 2>her connection to democratic socialism. While that plays a role,

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 2>we just got to remember, man, that people turn out

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>for you when you serve them. And and Edgie Nixon,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>it was somebody that was on the ground. People knew her,

0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:15.640
<v Speaker 2>people saw her. She didn't take lightly the responsibility of

0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 2>being an elected official. She she put She got arrested

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>in the name of fighting for for voting rights and

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 2>access and and fair lines being drawn and and and

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 2>that can't be understated like that. We we keep thinking

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 2>this is about some kind of populist movement. It's just

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.280
<v Speaker 2>about how well you can can push somebody's talking points,

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.960
<v Speaker 2>like folks are doing the real work on the ground

0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:46.199
<v Speaker 2>and we cannot ignore that, and so so excited about

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 2>her campaign and the possibilities there. But Rick, I know

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:53.120
<v Speaker 2>that that as we get closer to November, because there's

0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:58.920
<v Speaker 2>only a few primaries left in Delaware and Louisiana, Massachusetts

0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and New Hampshire as well as Rhode Island, we're getting

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:08.960
<v Speaker 2>into that November space, and that November space. There's still

0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:11.040
<v Speaker 2>some of you that are not registered to vote, and

0:12:11.080 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>I hope that you do register to vote if you

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 2>have not. But it's not just four hundred and thirty

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 2>five members of Congress that are on the ballot. If

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:26.800
<v Speaker 2>you keep scrolling, you've got attorney generals rick in thirty states,

0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:31.360
<v Speaker 2>secretary of state who runs your elections, in twenty six state,

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 2>eighty eight state legislative chambers. That's almost and almost three

0:12:35.840 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>hundred judges are going to be on the ballot. There's

0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 2>more than fifty ballot measures that are already locked in

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:43.680
<v Speaker 2>across twenty eight states, and that number is still going

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:45.920
<v Speaker 2>to grow in between now and when we get to

0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 2>the elections. So here's the part I really need folks

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:51.319
<v Speaker 2>to hear. The names at the top of the ticket

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.920
<v Speaker 2>get all the noise. We know that and those things

0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 2>are important, but the names at the bottom get all

0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 2>the reach. Your district attorney decides who changes, who charges,

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and who gets a second chance. Your share if your

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:09.640
<v Speaker 2>school board, obviously that's your child's classroom. The county commission

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.599
<v Speaker 2>is a hell of a lot of money. In county commissions.

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not just your water bill, it's your roads, whether

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.719
<v Speaker 2>a clinic stays open, and those races sometimes they come

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 2>down to a few hundred votes or less. Absolutely, I

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 2>need you to see your ballot. Some of them aren't

0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.079
<v Speaker 2>done yet, and so I know that that many of

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:30.760
<v Speaker 2>you can't get the ballot yet. But one of the

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 2>most important things we can do in this process is

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.199
<v Speaker 2>know the ballot so we know what's there. Some of

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:37.800
<v Speaker 2>us say we don't want to vote because we don't

0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:39.480
<v Speaker 2>trust this or we don't trust that, but we don't

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.439
<v Speaker 2>even know what the hell is on the ballot, And

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 2>so I really want you to either go to ballot

0:13:44.840 --> 0:13:48.800
<v Speaker 2>pedia dot org, go to vote dot org that there

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:52.319
<v Speaker 2>are so many platforms out there that will give you

0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:57.439
<v Speaker 2>your entire ballot, so you know if you're not registered again,

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:01.480
<v Speaker 2>you still have time dead start hitting around the first

0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:04.520
<v Speaker 2>week of October. For some states. Go to vote dot org.

0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Vote dot gov only takes about two minutes and it

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:12.680
<v Speaker 2>will tell you when your registration deadline is. Y'all, listen,

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:16.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't think a system has to be perfect for

0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 2>us to use it. And I have a hell of

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot of problems with our system of government, from

0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 2>some of the candidates, to the parties, to the process.

0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>But I also know that no matter what, this is

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.160
<v Speaker 2>a tool that we have, and we've seen too many times.

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.240
<v Speaker 2>It's not just Trump, but we've seen too many times

0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 2>that when we stay home, or we don't engage, or

0:14:37.280 --> 0:14:43.200
<v Speaker 2>when we're uneducated, or when we believe misinformation, the impact

0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>destroys us. So y'all please plug in in the ways

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.840
<v Speaker 2>that you can plug in, in the ways that move

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 2>you and that matter to you. Don't let anybody else

0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:54.920
<v Speaker 2>take your power. Y'all, hit me a gestination, let me

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.520
<v Speaker 2>know what you're thinking. Can't wait to tell y'all on
