Speaker 3: I just listened to that song that just went off there,
Speaker 3: and I just discovered something. Honey, jay Z that little
Speaker 3: boy saying that he's jay Z's son. He may be
Speaker 3: jay Z's son because I listened to the lyrics just
Speaker 3: now and he said in that song, let's go half
Speaker 3: on the sun, my past ain't one. He could be
Speaker 3: that child could be his son.
Speaker 4: That song proves it, huh.
Speaker 3: And it proves it.
Speaker 5: But maybe he's saying my past, I don't have one
Speaker 5: in my past? My past not yeah, I mean like
Speaker 5: I don't have one yet. What maybe he's saying I
Speaker 5: don't have one yet? If he says my past ain't none.
Speaker 3: No, he said, let's go half on the son, because
Speaker 3: you know my past ain't one.
Speaker 5: Oh oh, you might have just reopened the case.
Speaker 3: Thank you for that boy, been going around saying that
Speaker 3: jay Z is his dad. He could be his daddy
Speaker 3: because he just told them one and let's go half
Speaker 3: on the sun.
Speaker 5: My past ain't warn very the kid is old though.
Speaker 5: We're not gonna do this.
Speaker 1: I think Gary's on the something that.
Speaker 3: Song and I was listening to playing all the Stars
Speaker 3: in the Sky of the Day.
Speaker 6: Baby whatever, Jesus.
Speaker 3: Here's what's happened in celebrity news, y'all. Wendy Williams, Oh,
Speaker 3: my god, you know how much I love Wendy wigs.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: It's being reported that Wendy Willis believes, y'all that her
Speaker 3: guardianship our deal it's karma for me celebrity gossip Now.
Speaker 3: They said that Wendy believes that her past career as
Speaker 3: a celebrity gossip queen is the reason for her guardianship
Speaker 3: our deal Now. She spoke with her friends Charlemagne and
Speaker 3: Lauren LaRusso they discussed their private dinner y'all with Windy
Speaker 3: during a recent episode of the Brilliant Indio podcast Now.
Speaker 3: Charlemagne was Wendy's called y'all, which we know that on
Speaker 3: her popular syndicated radio show on w b That's in
Speaker 3: New York City. She said, quote, she feels like everything
Speaker 3: is going through right now. Is God getting her back?
Speaker 3: Honey for all the things that she said? She said,
Speaker 3: you know, and I don't believe that though. But Charlamagne
Speaker 3: said Wendy's statement made him reflect on his own past
Speaker 3: honey approach to broadcast. That means that Wendy Williams said
Speaker 3: to us at dinner is exactly where my energy was,
Speaker 3: he said. Now they're saying that the former talk show
Speaker 3: host now sixty two hundred, was forced to retire from
Speaker 3: her TV show in twenty twenty one after being diagnosed
Speaker 3: with dementia and a phasian. Now she has spent y'all
Speaker 3: the past several years at Katari, a luxury assistant living
Speaker 3: facility in New York, and she previously y'all lived on
Speaker 3: a locked ward at the same facility. Do y'all believe
Speaker 3: in karma?
Speaker 5: Is calma real?
Speaker 4: Oh? Really?
Speaker 5: So's darma?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: For sure, you get what that's biblical. You get what
Speaker 5: you gain.
Speaker 4: You you know, I don't think the way Wendy Williams
Speaker 4: did it, it wasn't mean. Sometime it was it was
Speaker 4: close to being mean, but it was so entertained in
Speaker 4: the way she did it or whatever.
Speaker 1: But maybe in her latter years, but early in her years,
Speaker 1: her radio years, if you go back.
Speaker 5: And everybody was it was nervous to go to her.
Speaker 6: I was one of those artists that was very nervous
Speaker 6: to go to her because you never knew what she
Speaker 6: was gonna say. And even if you try to do
Speaker 6: your best interview, she was going to say something to
Speaker 6: to make you.
Speaker 1: When you're outing people and you putting people in really
Speaker 1: really awkward and uncomfortable situations by focusing on things that
Speaker 1: they really didn't want out publicly, we can't.
Speaker 5: Judge and say that it's karma.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: If that if that's what she feels like, then that's
Speaker 6: her opinion. I think everything is God's will, So whatever
Speaker 6: is going on, if this may be to make her better,
Speaker 6: to make her I don't know, but I just feel
Speaker 6: like everything is God's will and it's not up to
Speaker 6: me to say it's karma.
Speaker 4: And even if she did show that, she didn't do that.
Speaker 4: You know, uh, people people illness is their ill illness.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't try to connect it to karma because God
Speaker 4: to give us all, you know what I'm saying, She
Speaker 4: didn't do. It's some people around here are did way
Speaker 4: way more bad stuff and they's super healthy and happy
Speaker 4: and rich and all that kind of stuff or whatever.
Speaker 1: Song.
Speaker 4: I wouldn't blame Karma on that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate her saying thinking that, Yes, we love Wendy,
Speaker 3: I love Winning no matter what. I don't care what
Speaker 3: she said about nobody, me or whomever. I loved Missus Williams.
Speaker 3: I rushed to the TV every day to watch it.
Speaker 5: Talk about you. I know you want to be in
Speaker 5: that number, but she never thought.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I was on the show a few times actually, but
Speaker 6: I'm not even talking about back in the day.
Speaker 5: She talked about all of us as artists, so.
Speaker 4: I thought were important, sitting in the dressing getting out,
Speaker 4: make up done for this nature one day and we
Speaker 4: were watching Windy and she was talking about us and blah,
Speaker 4: here was turned to looked at each other laughing. Damn.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we had the opportunity to go on that
Speaker 4: show twice.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4: She was always nice to me. She ain't never do
Speaker 4: no message stuff to me when I went on there.
Speaker 4: And then one time I remember when time johnifertime she
Speaker 4: talked about that and then she also shout at me
Speaker 4: out sitting next to her parents at church one Sunday.
Speaker 6: She said, I flirted with I had to get that straight,
Speaker 6: did you. Yeah, absolutely I did not, But I did
Speaker 6: get that straight and let her know, like she was
Speaker 6: a nice person and stuff, but she definitely wouldn't my
Speaker 6: cup of tea.
Speaker 4: And the way you did it was funny.
Speaker 5: It was you know what I didn't.
Speaker 6: I didn't try to be malicious at all. I just
Speaker 6: had to let her know I had receipts too. She
Speaker 6: was saying I was a smooth operator and all this
Speaker 6: other stuff like I wasn't smooth operating up on.
Speaker 5: You, girl, smooth. I take the credit for that.
Speaker 6: But you know I got a beautiful wife, and you
Speaker 6: will not say I tried to holler at you.

Speaker 4: You need to know what up?
Speaker 3: Jeff?
Speaker 1: What's up? Brother?
Speaker 2: Good to be with you this morning.
Speaker 4: How are you man? Blessing? How to favorite?
Speaker 5: How you feeling?
Speaker 2: Man? I feel exactly the same. My kids love me
Speaker 2: and the rest don't matter. So listen, we are seeing
Speaker 2: some really interesting things happen around politics. I mean, I
Speaker 2: think that the thing that I'm most encouraged by, even
Speaker 2: though I've been encouraged by quite a bit, is seeing
Speaker 2: how Angie Nixon just destroyed all conventional wisdom in Florida
Speaker 2: to pull out this upset. And I think there are
Speaker 2: people that are talking about, well, she's riding the wave
Speaker 2: of democratic socialism. She was outspent in ways that it's
Speaker 2: just insane. But I think one of the things that
Speaker 2: excites me more is it I don't think it's about
Speaker 2: her connection to democratic socialism. While that plays a role,
Speaker 2: we just got to remember, man, that people turn out
Speaker 2: for you when you serve them. And and Edgie Nixon,
Speaker 2: it was somebody that was on the ground. People knew her,
Speaker 2: people saw her. She didn't take lightly the responsibility of
Speaker 2: being an elected official. She she put She got arrested
Speaker 2: in the name of fighting for for voting rights and
Speaker 2: access and and fair lines being drawn and and and
Speaker 2: that can't be understated like that. We we keep thinking
Speaker 2: this is about some kind of populist movement. It's just
Speaker 2: about how well you can can push somebody's talking points,
Speaker 2: like folks are doing the real work on the ground
Speaker 2: and we cannot ignore that, and so so excited about
Speaker 2: her campaign and the possibilities there. But Rick, I know
Speaker 2: that that as we get closer to November, because there's
Speaker 2: only a few primaries left in Delaware and Louisiana, Massachusetts
Speaker 2: and New Hampshire as well as Rhode Island, we're getting
Speaker 2: into that November space, and that November space. There's still
Speaker 2: some of you that are not registered to vote, and
Speaker 2: I hope that you do register to vote if you
Speaker 2: have not. But it's not just four hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: five members of Congress that are on the ballot. If
Speaker 2: you keep scrolling, you've got attorney generals rick in thirty states,
Speaker 2: secretary of state who runs your elections, in twenty six state,
Speaker 2: eighty eight state legislative chambers. That's almost and almost three
Speaker 2: hundred judges are going to be on the ballot. There's
Speaker 2: more than fifty ballot measures that are already locked in
Speaker 2: across twenty eight states, and that number is still going
Speaker 2: to grow in between now and when we get to
Speaker 2: the elections. So here's the part I really need folks
Speaker 2: to hear. The names at the top of the ticket
Speaker 2: get all the noise. We know that and those things
Speaker 2: are important, but the names at the bottom get all
Speaker 2: the reach. Your district attorney decides who changes, who charges,
Speaker 2: and who gets a second chance. Your share if your
Speaker 2: school board, obviously that's your child's classroom. The county commission
Speaker 2: is a hell of a lot of money. In county commissions.
Speaker 2: It's not just your water bill, it's your roads, whether
Speaker 2: a clinic stays open, and those races sometimes they come
Speaker 2: down to a few hundred votes or less. Absolutely, I
Speaker 2: need you to see your ballot. Some of them aren't
Speaker 2: done yet, and so I know that that many of
Speaker 2: you can't get the ballot yet. But one of the
Speaker 2: most important things we can do in this process is
Speaker 2: know the ballot so we know what's there. Some of
Speaker 2: us say we don't want to vote because we don't
Speaker 2: trust this or we don't trust that, but we don't
Speaker 2: even know what the hell is on the ballot, And
Speaker 2: so I really want you to either go to ballot
Speaker 2: pedia dot org, go to vote dot org that there
Speaker 2: are so many platforms out there that will give you
Speaker 2: your entire ballot, so you know if you're not registered again,
Speaker 2: you still have time dead start hitting around the first
Speaker 2: week of October. For some states. Go to vote dot org.
Speaker 2: Vote dot gov only takes about two minutes and it
Speaker 2: will tell you when your registration deadline is. Y'all, listen,
Speaker 2: I don't think a system has to be perfect for
Speaker 2: us to use it. And I have a hell of
Speaker 2: a lot of problems with our system of government, from
Speaker 2: some of the candidates, to the parties, to the process.
Speaker 2: But I also know that no matter what, this is
Speaker 2: a tool that we have, and we've seen too many times.
Speaker 2: It's not just Trump, but we've seen too many times
Speaker 2: that when we stay home, or we don't engage, or
Speaker 2: when we're uneducated, or when we believe misinformation, the impact
Speaker 2: destroys us. So y'all please plug in in the ways
Speaker 2: that you can plug in, in the ways that move
Speaker 2: you and that matter to you. Don't let anybody else
Speaker 2: take your power. Y'all, hit me a gestination, let me
Speaker 2: know what you're thinking. Can't wait to tell y'all on
Speaker 2: Monday about a new show that I I got coming
Speaker 2: on the Blackstar Network. We're rolling more of that later, y'all.
Speaker 2: Hit me adjust Nation Love y'all have a fantastic mus
