If you woke up 17 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: earlier this morning, you know. I'm on. My wife has 18 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: been doing a lot of work at a couple of 19 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: different properties that we're flipping and telling. So my wife 20 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: has been doing a lot of work at the property. 21 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: So it's been daddy daycare the whole, you know, last 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: three four days. So when it's daddy daycare, I'm with 23 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: the newborn and it's really nothing to do but clean 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: and watch TV. So I've just been watching everything you 25 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: name it. I happened to I just happened to catch 26 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: the president on yesterday. You heard the president bowing down. Now, 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: I just happened to catch him. Yester, you saw, you 28 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: saw how you know the voting rights legislation did not 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: get passed through the Senate as expected? As expected? Why 30 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: because Manasion in cinema said, hell no, I don't want 31 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: to hear all of that conversation about I don't want 32 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: to hear that conversation about Republicans no more. Because at 33 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you have two people 34 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 1: on your team who are supposed to be for the people, right, 35 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: the Democrats, and they won't get in line, it's on them. 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about that during Front Patients. It's been 37 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 1: a year though since Biden's been in office, right, yeah, 38 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: his first year, his first ship. Well, today will be 39 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: grand open, their grand closing. They're gonna lose the midterms 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: this year when they lose the midterms this year, He's 41 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: definitely not gonna be able to get nothing done, grand opening, 42 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: grand closing, one term president, So rap give it that people, 43 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: So fu it's not getting no better. So I'm gonna say, 44 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: I look at I'm a little I'm a little confused 45 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: with it. Like you know, if we all let's just say, 46 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: I just put it in simple terms, right, we all bloods, Right, 47 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: we're all supposed to rock with each other. That's that's it, right, 48 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: It's really that's it. But that's what they told us. 49 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: We don't rock with the crips, right, so we all bloods, 50 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: we ride with each other. And that's what they told 51 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: us and said, hey, if we get to Senate and 52 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: we got the White House, we'll get things done. That's 53 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: why they went so hard to flip Georgia Philips is 54 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: what happened. Joe Man and Joe Manson and Christen Cinema 55 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: are dinos Democrats in name only. Remember when the Trump 56 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: called the Arizona jail for legislators rhinos. Yes, a couple 57 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: last week the Republican name only, That's what manoning in 58 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: Cinema are democrats in name on. They ain't riding for 59 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,399 Speaker 1: the tay ride with the team at right, All right, well, 60 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: not even a little bit, but I don't know. Well, 61 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: we definitely wouldn't have voting rights to legislation if Republicans 62 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: were if Donald Trump was the president now either right, 63 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: we noticed though, right? No, no, no, they would have 64 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: passed the voting rate legislation. It would just been some bs. 65 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: They everybody passed vote suppression laws and what eighteen states? 66 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,959 Speaker 1: Thirty different voter suppression laws in eighteen state, so it 67 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: would have been hard to vote regardless, it sounds like 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: we need more Democrats in the Senate. Sure, that's what 69 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: it is, so that it wouldn't rest on two people. Sure, 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll talk about that more in Front 71 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 1: Page News and Shakas and God will be joining us 72 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: this morning.

All right, 82 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: A lot to talk about. What we're starting easy, Well, 83 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,360 Speaker 1: let's start with the Senate last night. They did feel 84 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: the chance to feel ab us the rule that would 85 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: allow voting rights legislations to pass with a simple majority. 86 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: It would have required fifty one votes to pass, but 87 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: did not have the support of all Democrats as we know. 88 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: And so here is what Kamala Harris has to say 89 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: about voting legislation. I am here to make a very 90 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: strong statement that this is whatever proference tonight comes the 91 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: outcome of this vote, the President and I are not 92 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: going to give up on this issue. This is fundamental 93 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: charge democracy and it is non negotiable. Well, let's see 94 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: if Democrats challenge the seats of Joe Mansion and Kristen Cinema. 95 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 1: All right, if they're not on your team and they've 96 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: showed you that, then I would expect you to run 97 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 1: some other Democrats against them and challenge them. If not, 98 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: y'all all in it together in Cinema and Mansion are 99 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: just to fall gods and gal Well, here's what Joe 100 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: Biden had to say on voting rights legislation. I've had 101 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: their back. I've had their back my entire career. I've 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,559 Speaker 1: never not had their back. Life started on the voting 103 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: righteous She's long, long and good. This would got be 104 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: involved in politicstion in first place. Now the Senator and 105 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: mansion has some criticism about people telling him what he 106 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: needs to do. The rule book means that the rules 107 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: changes are done on the basis of broad body partisan consensus, 108 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 1: not imposed on the minority by raw majority power, no 109 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: matter who's in power. Now, my colleagues propose a sidestep 110 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: this process. They would use the nuclear option to override 111 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: a rule that we have used ourselves but now seem 112 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: to find unacceptable. We're going to break the rules to 113 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: change the rules and make up new rules as we 114 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: go along. Invite them ourselves to future majority to just 115 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: regard the rule book of will No rule of the 116 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: Senate can withstand the act of a willful majority. Let 117 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: this change happen in this way in the Senate will 118 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: be a body without rules. Now, that's in regards to 119 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: getting rid of the filibuster, because Senate Majority leader Chuck 120 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: Schumer said Democrats would carve out to the filibuster rules 121 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: to pass voting rights legislation by replacing that sixty vote 122 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: the threshold needed to break a filibuster with an old 123 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: fashioned talking filibusters. They just don't care about black people 124 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: voting people. That's all because if you can't get rid 125 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: of the filibuster, philibuster, car about something in the philibuster 126 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: to preserve the cornerstone of democracy, voting rights is because 127 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: your voting rights aren't threatened, you don't care if black 128 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: people can vote. No, he just said he with us. 129 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: He said he just got to come out and see 130 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: us more. That was Joe Biden. Yeah, well, here's what 131 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has to say about things that he has 132 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 1: and he did a solo news conference ahead of his 133 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: one year mark in office. Yet a whole bunch of nothing. 134 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. You're spending package voting rights legislation. 135 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,239 Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. So that's true. Is there anything 136 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: that you are confident you can get signed into law 137 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: before the midterm elections. Yes, I'm confident we can get 138 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: pieces big chunks of the bill back Better Law signed 139 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: to the law. And I'm confident that we can take 140 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: the case to the American people that the people they 141 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: should be voting for her going to oversee whether your 142 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: elections in fact are legit or not, should not be 143 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: those who are being put up by the Republicans to 144 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: determine that they're gonna be able to change the outcome 145 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: the election. I think the best, the most important thing 146 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: to do is try to inform, not educate, inform the 147 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: public of what's at stake and start terms. Yesterday, he 148 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: said the twenty twenty two midterm elections, if they don't 149 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: get some voting rights passed, will probably be illegitimate, that's 150 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: what he said, right, or they'll probably be you know, interference, duh. 151 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: So that would be all the more reason to try 152 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: to get some voting right legislation pass all right. Well, 153 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: we have more of that in the next hour on 154 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: front page new And I also want to say man 155 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: salute to Joe Madison and all the pastors who are 156 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: on a hunger strike until voter rights for pass Please 157 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: go eat all right, Please, voting rights legislation died on 158 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: the Senate floor last night.

Yes, ma'am, n um. This politicians 195 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: they are just playing games. And we citizens, we need 196 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: to get educated. We need to know what we need 197 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: to do. We need to vote the people out. That's 198 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: our job, right. We need to do our research and 199 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: we need to vote them out. And democrats all this 200 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: political politicians say, so called democrats, they need to have 201 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: a clear understanding that they need to do what they 202 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: need to do. Republicans they do whenever, whenever it's their turn, 203 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: they make things happen. That's rights in fall in line. 204 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: So Democrats they need to get their house in order. 205 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't understand why they keep playing games and having 206 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: this argument back and forth. Get your out in order. Yeah, 207 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: there's the problem. Did you see yesterday when they asked 208 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: Joe Biden did he even reach out to any Republicans 209 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: about voting rights? And he was like no, I didn't 210 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: get a chance too because I was too busy trying 211 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: to get people on my own team to get a board. 212 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: And see, that's the problem right there. This is a 213 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: guy that has been in the Senate for over thirty 214 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: something years. It knows how to talk to Republicans. But 215 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: if it's houses not in order, how can he reach 216 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: out to the other guy in the Republicans they say, hey, guys, 217 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: come along. He can't do that. It doesn't even make 218 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: any sense because the first thing that we're telling me, oh, botowing, 219 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: miss submissive president, we still have two nitors that is 220 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: olding out, why are you talking? Why are you talking 221 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: to us? So that's number one and number two, I'll 222 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: understand why Democrats can't just get in line. Just get 223 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: in line, do what you need to do. Yeah, and 224 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: make things dropping. Yeah, and imagine the cinema don't want 225 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: to get in line? How come democrats don't challenge for 226 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 1: their seats?

And so we just have to 494 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: make the case what we're for and what the other 495 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: team's not for. And one of the things that I 496 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: think is we're going to have to do is just 497 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: make the case. I don't think there's anything unrealistic about 498 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 1: we're asking. I'm not trying to I'm not asking for 499 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: castles in the sky. I'm asking for practical things the 500 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 1: American people I'm asking for for a long time. What 501 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: is he talking about? He also says he didn't over promise. 502 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: He said I had probably outperformed what anybody happened. What 503 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: I want to know, what is he talking about? Who 504 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,440 Speaker 1: is he talking to? He's the president. Why do you 505 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: sound like he's on the campaign trail. You're the president, 506 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 1: You're in charge now. He also went to Twitter and 507 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 1: said in our first year in office, we created six 508 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 1: point four million jobs. That's the biggest year of job 509 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: creation in American history. In perspective, though a lot of 510 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: people were out of work because of COVID and a 511 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: lot of businesses we're not in so you should have 512 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 1: the biggest job creation in American history because there were 513 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: so many jobs lost. A lot of people were resigned 514 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: too because of COVID. And then he also tweeted out, 515 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: in our first year, we achieved a record number of 516 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: jobs created, a record dropping the unemployment rate, a record 517 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: dropping unemployment claims. We're getting America back to work, the 518 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: record dropping unemployment claim because a lot of people resigned. 519 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people realize that they can make money 520 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 1: doing a lot of other things, and so they decided 521 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: to be entrepreneurs. Resignation absolutely right now. He decided to 522 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: be entrepreneurs, and they quit their jobs. Another thing he 523 00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 1: talked about was his next term, stating, I'm going to 524 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: do differently. Number One, I'm gonna go out and talk 525 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: to the public. Number two, I'm also going to be 526 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: out there seeking the more advice of experts outside from 527 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: academia to editorial writers, to think tanks, and I'm bringing 528 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: them in. And the third thing, I'm gonna be doing 529 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 1: a lot more of. I'm going to be deeply involved 530 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 1: in the offices off your elections to go out and 531 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: make the case in plain, simple language as to what 532 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: it is we've done, what we want to do, and 533 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 1: why we think it's important. There is no next term, 534 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: President Biden, You're gonna move the midtterms this year. When 535 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 1: you lose the midterms and the Republics and Republicans get 536 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: control of the Health and the Senate, you damn ain't 537 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: gonna be able to get nothing done. You can't get 538 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: nothing done now, So you damn shin't' getting that done. 539 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: In one question on twenty twenty four ambitions, he did 540 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: say that Vice President Kamala Harris would be his running mates. 541 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,640 Speaker 1: It was a two hour press conference that he had. 542 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: And another thing he discussed was giving away four hundred 543 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,200 Speaker 1: million and ninety five mass that's all going to start 544 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: next week two. So they did stockpile all of these masks, 545 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: and they have more than seven hundred and fifty million 546 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: of them on hand. You know, it's been hard for 547 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: people to find those in ninety five masks, they said, 548 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 1: those are the ones that offer the most protection. So 549 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: they are going to make those available for free to 550 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: US residents starting next week. What I don't understand is 551 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: it vote and rights legislation hasn't passed, and they have 552 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: made it hard for black people to vote all over 553 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: the country, and Biden hasn't gotten any of his campaign 554 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: promises done for black people. How and why is he 555 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: expecting black people to vote for him in the next election. 556 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: How is he already talking about another term? What he say? 557 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: You don't think that's arrogant? Yeah, but what do he 558 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: say to you if you don't vote for me, you 559 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: ain't black? That's still his mindset. No, you're right, you're right. 560 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: He's still he still think y'all nigga gonna go out there. Well, 561 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: they asked him about his ambitions for twenty twenty four, 562 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: so that's why he addressed it. He was questioned about it. Listen, 563 00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote because you know that's just and I'm 564 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: gonna tell everybody else to get out there and vote 565 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: and don't let them suppress your vote. There I am. 566 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm telling everybody, y'all need to get out there and vote. 567 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: I want everyone to exercise their right. I'm going to 568 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 1: vote because I'm trying to take away from us because 569 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 1: of the power that we have. Yeah, but even when 570 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 1: we do vote, they get in and don't do anything. 571 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: But I'm gonna vote because I'm a taxpaying American citizen. 572 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 1: But for anybody out there who feels like they don't 573 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: want to, I understand why. But you, I mean, you 574 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: still have to have top people feel like, you know, 575 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: I don't like you, don't you know what because a 576 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: lot of people tell me you vote right, They don't 577 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: want to vote for about it? They don't feel Biden 578 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: represents them, but they don't want to vote Republicans. So 579 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: what do they do? No, they feel like these people 580 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: don't getting anything. Not voting for that people are feeling 581 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: like they're not getting anything done. When you know what 582 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 1: I hate is the fact that we're always putting pressure 583 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: on the voters to get things done. When we're gonna 584 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,960 Speaker 1: put pressure on them to get things done. They running 585 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 1: around here saying, oh, you got to vote like democracy 586 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: depends on it. When y'all gonna govern like democracy depends 587 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: on it. Why do we always got to have the 588 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 1: sense of urgency? Why not them should be I think 589 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: it should be both. I think that if you don't vote, 590 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 1: then we got hard on people who who say things like, man, 591 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: I don't want to vote because I don't feel like 592 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: nothing's getting done. Then we do the people who are 593 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,600 Speaker 1: actually in positions of power right now, you know, not 594 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: doing anything. Not Dowers. He's still on the campaign trailing. 595 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: He's the president. You also have to look at your 596 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: local elections though, I agree with that, so you have 597 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: to get out vote. You're not just voting for the president. 598 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: And it's mid terms. I agree with that. You have 599 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: to get out there and vote. And I would never 600 00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 1: encourage people not to or tell them you feel discouraged. 601 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 1: You have to do your part. You feel discouraged, because 602 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,920 Speaker 1: that's your part, and your part is awesome. I mean, 603 00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: you can feel discouraged, but don't not discouraged. That's what 604 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: democracy is about. Democracy is about challenging these elected officials. 605 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:29,880 Speaker 1: The marcacy is telling them that we don't feel good 606 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: about what's going on. What you mean and get out 607 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 1: there and speak, and you have to make sure that 608 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: your vote. You vote for people that you feel like 609 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: represent you and then put the pressure on them. And 610 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 1: it is important too for us to also strategize come 611 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,360 Speaker 1: together and make sure that we make demands and make 612 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: sure our voices are heard. But if you're not voting, 613 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: they don't care about you. If you're not voting, it's 614 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: the same most on. They don't care about this. When 615 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: we do vote, I have some local officials who I 616 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: really local. Yes, I'm hyperlocal. I'm hyperlocal. I agree with that. 617 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: So that's all about voting. So so you mean vote 618 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 1: vote on a local talking about mid terms right now? Right? 619 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 1: Midterms coming up? I thought we were talking about him 620 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: saying setting up. I thought he's his next turn in 621 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: between twenty four. That's what I thought we were talking about. 622 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: We're talking about both though, I mean midterms. That what's 623 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 1: coming up next? All right, and that is your front page. 624 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, I don't see how he plans, 625 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, to winning the mid terms. I really don't 626 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: when when when voter rights legislation hasn't been passed, they're 627 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: making it hard for black people to vote, and he 628 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 1: hasn't gotten any of his campaign promises done to black people. 629 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how they checks a high vote, the 630 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: black turnout. They're making it high press to vote because 631 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 1: of how important voting is. So don't be discouraged and 632 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: not vote because that's what they want you to do. 633 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: That as a form of voter suppression when they tell 634 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: you know those is a form of vote depression. When 635 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: you got people in power who promise things and they 636 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,239 Speaker 1: don't get those things done, that's a form of voter 637 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: suppression too, because it discourages voters. Did not come out, Ladies, ladies, ladies, 638 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Later.

So I've been 656 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,719 Speaker 1: good man, just really taking opportunity to be more creative, 657 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: more thoughtful about life, more present with the people in 658 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,680 Speaker 1: my life, and taking it one step at the time. 659 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: But I'm ready for it to be over, to get 660 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,560 Speaker 1: back to living freely. I don't think the world as 661 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: we know it's never gonna be the same. Because Shaka 662 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: was here before, he was talking about his book Any 663 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: of My Wrongs, and now he has another, Yes, Letters 664 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: to the Sense of Society. And when you reference COVID 665 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,480 Speaker 1: and isolation, I saw you were talking about how when 666 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: you were locked up in seven years you spent in 667 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: solitary confinement and the comparison to COVID. Yeah, I mean, 668 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's very different. But I think 669 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: one of the things, and I actually talk about it 670 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: in the book, that similar is the kind of disoriented 671 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: effect of not knowing when something is going to end 672 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: or normalize. And people was like, well, how would you 673 00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 1: compare that those two things. But when I was in solitary, 674 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: my senses was indeterminate, so they never told me when 675 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: I was getting out. And I think the same thing 676 00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: as kind of happened early. Always was like, oh, we'll 677 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 1: be done with this in a couple of months, we'll 678 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: be done maybe six months, and you know, we're almost 679 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 1: two years later and we still don't know. So it 680 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: just kind of makes it hard for you to put 681 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 1: your feet onside ground. And I wanted to be sensitive 682 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: to the reality that people were facing with so that 683 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: people can get themselves grace and understand that it's a 684 00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 1: real thing. It's not something then that they're matching and 685 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 1: as difficult. It really is difficult. That makes perfect sense 686 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: to me, Like it sounds like the perfect analogy. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, 687 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:09,239 Speaker 1: I mean, but I guess if you've never been in 688 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 1: solitary confinements, yeah, I mean, this is not quite solitary. 689 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 1: You know, we still can get real food and all 690 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 1: those things. But I think psychologically what happens, and I mean, 691 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,399 Speaker 1: you know, you talk a lot about mental health, which 692 00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: I really respect, but mentally what goes on is the 693 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: most important. Pardon you know, I tell people all the time, 694 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,400 Speaker 1: like I got free from prison mentally before I ever 695 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,839 Speaker 1: walked out of prison, and it's one of the reasons 696 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 1: I'm able to do some of the things that I 697 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,359 Speaker 1: do now because that recognition that the worst prison will 698 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: ever be in as our mind was something I was 699 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: able to acknowledge early on in my incarceration, and that 700 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: helped me get through a book. Yeah, Letters to the 701 00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 1: Sons of Society, A father's invitation of love, honesty, and freedom. 702 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: What does that mean? I mean, you know, as as 703 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: a dad, I've had two very unique experience, which is 704 00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: crazy when you think about it. Yes, it's it's wild. Yeah, 705 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: when I was arrested, my oldest son's mom was still 706 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 1: pregnant with him, so he was born like six months 707 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: after mind carceration, and so I only experienced fatherhood with 708 00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: him through my dad bringing my son to visit me, 709 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: you know. And so basically I kind of made up 710 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 1: this narrative about being a good dad and being a 711 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: prison dad because I was able to write letters and 712 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: get phone calls, but I wasn't able to really spend 713 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,720 Speaker 1: the time that's necessary to nurture a child through the world. 714 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: And you know, now I had this wonderful experience of 715 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 1: raising my now ten year old son, say cool, he's 716 00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:40,320 Speaker 1: a young entrepreneur, he's creative, very intelligent, and it's dramatically different, 717 00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, But I'm also different too as a man, 718 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,280 Speaker 1: Like I'm a grown man. When I went to prison, 719 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,520 Speaker 1: I was a nineteen year old kid, and so you know, 720 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 1: this book really is a reflection of those experiences, but 721 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 1: it's actually a little bit deeper. You know, I mentor 722 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 1: young people all over the country. You know, you go 723 00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640 Speaker 1: through what I've been through with prison, where I spent 724 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,399 Speaker 1: nineteen years of my life, and most of the guys 725 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: I spent time with were kids, and so for me, 726 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, working with young men across the country, I'm like, 727 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: this is the book I want to write. So I 728 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 1: start off like letters to my hip hop songs, letter 729 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:15,320 Speaker 1: to my young entrepreneurial sons. And then I realized between 730 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 1: all the young men that I get a chance to 731 00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 1: mentor existed my two sons, and I felt that intimacy 732 00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: would come through more if I just wrote directly to 733 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:27,640 Speaker 1: them about life and what I've experienced, but also what 734 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,240 Speaker 1: I whispered them and dealt with some of the issues 735 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: that were faced with What is your oldest son. How 736 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: is your relationship with him? Because you know him being 737 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 1: the older now he's looking at you and your younger 738 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: son right now, and how the fact that you could 739 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: be there and that you are at his games and 740 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,399 Speaker 1: you are helping him with his homework and all those things. 741 00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,399 Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm sure he feels like, damn, I wasn't. 742 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,480 Speaker 1: I didn't have that part of my dad. So how 743 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 1: is your relationship? I mean it's very complex. You know, 744 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 1: my oldest son is now thirty years old. And when 745 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 1: I came home and I talked about it, one of 746 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 1: the one of the most impactful chapters I think that 747 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 1: people really going to resonate is to first resonate with 748 00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:05,440 Speaker 1: is the first chapter, because it really explains the complexity 749 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 1: of coming home to a young man and trying to 750 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 1: insert my life and myself into his life as his dad. 751 00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,719 Speaker 1: And really I came home as a mentor, Yo, this 752 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 1: is how we're gonna do it. We're gonna make these 753 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: things happen. And yeah, and it wasn't fair to him, 754 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't fair for me to come home 755 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: because the story I had was contracted to the reality 756 00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,319 Speaker 1: of being in prison. And so it's been it's been 757 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,399 Speaker 1: a very difficult. It's probably been the most complex part 758 00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,799 Speaker 1: of my life and the hardest thing I've ever had 759 00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 1: to confront as a man. And that's where the honesty 760 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 1: and then the title comes from, is as dads, oftentimes 761 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,880 Speaker 1: we're not honest, whether it's honest about the things that 762 00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: are positive or honest about our shortcomings. And I really 763 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 1: wanted to create space for fathers to really have honest discussions, 764 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: especially when we think about what's happening with black males 765 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,000 Speaker 1: in our communities. Well as you talk about what you 766 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 1: did do when you came home, and your son obviously 767 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,520 Speaker 1: felt like, well, you can't just come and change my 768 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 1: life and tell me what to do now because you 769 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,759 Speaker 1: haven't been present as a father. So a lot of 770 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: people have had to deal with that when they get 771 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:09,480 Speaker 1: out of jail because we don't even think about that, right, 772 00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: what is that relationship? Like? Can I just step back 773 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,000 Speaker 1: in nineteen years later as a dad and tell you 774 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:16,680 Speaker 1: how to do things when you've been doing things your 775 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: own way? So what advice do you have forefathers out 776 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 1: there who are trying to get back into their children's life. 777 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: My advice is always to take the you know, the 778 00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:30,560 Speaker 1: guidance of a child, because you know, we owe them. 779 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: They don't know us anything, and I think it's really 780 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: important to be patient, to give yourself grace, but also 781 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: to acknowledge that you know it was your decisions that 782 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: took you out of their life and not their decision 783 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: to not be present. And so what I've tried to 784 00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: do is just be patient and be you know, allow 785 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: him to kind of set the tone for our engagement 786 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,319 Speaker 1: with no expected outcomes. And I've really detached my ego 787 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: from parenting, not just with him, but also with my 788 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,840 Speaker 1: youngest son. And what about with the mom too, because 789 00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: that's also an issue because now you want to make 790 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,239 Speaker 1: sure that you have this time. And if you know 791 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,719 Speaker 1: at first your son isn't comfortable or certain things are 792 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: going on, because we've had people call up here with 793 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: issues like that, Well, you know, the mom is has 794 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,000 Speaker 1: a new boyfriend, she's moved on, she's done this, and 795 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: I need this to happen for me with my son 796 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,200 Speaker 1: and she's not helping with the relationship. How did that 797 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,560 Speaker 1: dynamic work? I mean, I think that one was a 798 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,080 Speaker 1: little bit more complex because my dad really stepped in 799 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,840 Speaker 1: and kind of filled the gap. So to speak. So 800 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:30,399 Speaker 1: he and my oldest son's mom, they kind of had 801 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: almost like a parent child relationship. You know. He stepped in, 802 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,799 Speaker 1: you know, as as my dad is just incredible. He's 803 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: a really incredible human being, and so he kind of 804 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,839 Speaker 1: raised her. You know. So by the time I came home, 805 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:44,680 Speaker 1: my son was grown, so we didn't have to have 806 00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,640 Speaker 1: as much engagement, but there were moments, you know, And 807 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: again I talked about it in that first chapter where 808 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,320 Speaker 1: I had to reach out to her like, Hey, this 809 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: is what's happening with me and him. And I'm not 810 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: trying to go back to the old way that I 811 00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,160 Speaker 1: was living, but I will if, you know, if I 812 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 1: get pushed to that point. And so just being able 813 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: to have that understanding what her was really important. Health. Yeah, 814 00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: I was super triggered. We had a we had a 815 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: very intense moment. Someone wasn't going down the right path 816 00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:13,960 Speaker 1: and use it well. Now we got into like a 817 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,239 Speaker 1: real conflict, and it happens often, you know, especially with 818 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,800 Speaker 1: guys coming home from the joint, Like i'ven't been in 819 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: the joint, on the yard, thugging it out, going through 820 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,480 Speaker 1: all the violent realities of that and that experience and 821 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 1: what I didn't account for is I hadn't healed from 822 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 1: that PTSD, And so there was a moment when me 823 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,720 Speaker 1: and my son got into a conflict and he physically 824 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: threatened me, and I told his mom, like, you know, 825 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,200 Speaker 1: you need to holly him because otherwise I'm gonna take 826 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,719 Speaker 1: him over here and leave him in his field. And 827 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 1: something actually happened where we thought. That's what went down 828 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 1: with my son, And that's what I talked about in 829 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,960 Speaker 1: that first chapter. All right, we got more. We shot 830 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,880 Speaker 1: us and goal when we come back, don't move. It's 831 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:58,960 Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Good morning, every envy angela yee. Charlemagne, 832 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,879 Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfas Club was still kicking 833 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: it with Shatkus and Gore. You know, he's a New 834 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: York Times bestselling author for writing My Wrongs and has 835 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: a new book called Letters to the Sons of Society, 836 00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,600 Speaker 1: A Father's Invitation to love, honesty, and freedom. Charlemagne, how 837 00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 1: long did it take you to get out of that 838 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 1: survival mode of fighting? Like I got to protect myself 839 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:18,799 Speaker 1: at all time. I wanted to take you to get 840 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,879 Speaker 1: out of it. Actually, that that experience with my son 841 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: was the first time I had really really realized that 842 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,640 Speaker 1: I hadn't fully processed all that out of my system, 843 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:30,239 Speaker 1: you know, when I was when I did that last 844 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,239 Speaker 1: stretch in solitary, I just came out focused on life 845 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,800 Speaker 1: at the prison, and I didn't First of all, I 846 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 1: didn't know if I was ever getting out, but I 847 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,040 Speaker 1: had wrote down all the things I wanted to manifest 848 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,960 Speaker 1: in my life, because I believe you attracted your life 849 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,320 Speaker 1: what you think about the most, and so I started 850 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: living my life in that way. But it's still the 851 00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 1: big yard, and I still was who I am on 852 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: the yard, so I had to navigate that first. And 853 00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: I was fortunately, you know, like I had reached that 854 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: status or respect where I didn't have to deal with 855 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 1: all the conflicts. But it also set me up for 856 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,920 Speaker 1: the reality of what happens when you get home and 857 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,799 Speaker 1: nobody cares about your transformation when you're in the hood. 858 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: Nobody cares that you're thinking about peaceful resolution as opposed 859 00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: to taking it back to the block. And so after 860 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 1: that experience with my son, I really was like, I 861 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: actually need therapy to really process like what I've been 862 00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: through because a lot of it was being covered up 863 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:24,280 Speaker 1: with achievements. Right I got out I was successful relatively 864 00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,600 Speaker 1: early on. You know, I've achieved, you know, probably an 865 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: exceptional level of success in pretty much all the endeavors 866 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: I set out to do, and that covered up what 867 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,239 Speaker 1: was actually the reality is that I was in prison 868 00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 1: for nineteen years. I was in solitary. Nobody leaves that 869 00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: place without scars. And it doesn't matter if you've been 870 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,520 Speaker 1: in there for one day or ten days or ten years. 871 00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:50,400 Speaker 1: That place scars you in a way that shows up 872 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: in different areas of your life later on, and you're 873 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 1: retelling those stories over and over again, like you said 874 00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,279 Speaker 1: in interviews, and talking about the book and reliving it 875 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,720 Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, when when writing 876 00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,399 Speaker 1: My Wrongs came out, you know, I was on tour, 877 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: I was doing all the things I had, you know, 878 00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,719 Speaker 1: the conversation with Oprah and you know, all the things 879 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,319 Speaker 1: that come with promoting a product. But then I also 880 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,800 Speaker 1: was a sought after speaker. I had to did a 881 00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:18,000 Speaker 1: ted talking like twenty fourteen and from their universities in schools, 882 00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: and so I'm just constantly talking about what I actually 883 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 1: went to prison for, which was murdered, and I had 884 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: never reconciled that, you know, And so I found myself 885 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: in this in this real dark space, and it kind 886 00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: of culminated with me driving down the wrong side of 887 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,040 Speaker 1: expressway drunk one night and I was like, yeah, I'm 888 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:37,879 Speaker 1: about to throw it all away, and that's when all 889 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 1: the things that started coming back, like, yo, you you've 890 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,560 Speaker 1: been traumatizing a way that you haven't been honest about 891 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: because who the hell talks about PTSD, posting cars, rady. 892 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: We're just happy to get out, celebrate, had the parties, 893 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,600 Speaker 1: get back to living, or you know, this dream be concocted, 894 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,319 Speaker 1: But the reality is a lot of us come home 895 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: deeply scarred. And it's really you know, you think about 896 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,200 Speaker 1: those stories of somebody coming out and then they can 897 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: create or commit a heinous act of violence. We're like, see, 898 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 1: we should have left for men. But the reality is 899 00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,920 Speaker 1: we have to ensure that people are getting the therapeutic 900 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: treatment so that they can't come home healthy and hole. 901 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,279 Speaker 1: Because you could you tell people how important it is 902 00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 1: for folks who have done you know, a lot of 903 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,799 Speaker 1: prison time to get mental health treatment. Cause always say 904 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:23,799 Speaker 1: they call these facilities correction facilities, but you're not correcting nothing. 905 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,840 Speaker 1: In order for a person to get out and not 906 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 1: just operate out of that survival mentality. They need help, 907 00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, And we have to destigmatize what mental health 908 00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,719 Speaker 1: treatment looks like, especially for black males. It's not a 909 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,879 Speaker 1: weak thing. It's not something that makes you a suck 910 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: or you solve. It's really healthy to be able to 911 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 1: process the things that you're thinking about in a way 912 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: that isn't harmful to your community, is harmless to your family. 913 00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,800 Speaker 1: And you know, when you come out of a environment 914 00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,160 Speaker 1: that violent, you've been infected by that, you know your 915 00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 1: own edge. Like I mean, my first part of my incarceration, 916 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: I was at the Myxican informatory is called the Gladiator 917 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:07,799 Speaker 1: of the school. You know, my first week, my first 918 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,000 Speaker 1: actual day in prison, a guy gets stabbed in the 919 00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,440 Speaker 1: neck and he keep it moving. I'm like, okay, well, 920 00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:13,920 Speaker 1: this is what it is. This is where we're at. 921 00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 1: This is the land of the lions and the lambs. 922 00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,680 Speaker 1: And you make a choice early on, and like that 923 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,920 Speaker 1: doesn't leave just because you walk out of prison, Like 924 00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,239 Speaker 1: it doesn't leave just because you get parole. Those realities 925 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,879 Speaker 1: are still there, and so you know, I think it's 926 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:32,560 Speaker 1: it's exceptionally important for anybody who's been through that to get, 927 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:35,919 Speaker 1: you know, psychological evaluation first of all of their mental 928 00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: health treatment. You know you said something earlier that you know, 929 00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,399 Speaker 1: when your son was older, you figured that you would 930 00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:42,440 Speaker 1: have to fall back for a little bit, right. I 931 00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,280 Speaker 1: have two sons, and what made me really think about 932 00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 1: that is, you know, as a kid, when your dad 933 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,000 Speaker 1: tells you to do something like, you're mad, like why 934 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:50,800 Speaker 1: is he making me do this? Right? Then when you 935 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,040 Speaker 1: get older, you understand why, you know. But you know 936 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 1: what scares me sometimes is, you know, thank god I 937 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,000 Speaker 1: went the right way where I didn't have to I 938 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 1: didn't have to learn. He was telling me no. So 939 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:03,520 Speaker 1: hard does that ever scare you with your kids? You know? 940 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:04,880 Speaker 1: I mean, because, yeah, you have to fall back. You 941 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,319 Speaker 1: gotta let your son learn on his own, and one 942 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:07,920 Speaker 1: day he'll get to the age of black. I understand 943 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,879 Speaker 1: what my dad was doing, but it's always that fear 944 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: of what if he goes the wrong way? You know, 945 00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,400 Speaker 1: what if he goes that takes that wrong turn, or 946 00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: does that stupid thing. You know, he might not get 947 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: that grace, that empathy. Yeah, I think you know. The 948 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: way that I've approached parenting is I honestly have egoist 949 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,200 Speaker 1: parenting because I realized that whatever outcomes my son you know, 950 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 1: has in life, those will be based on choices that 951 00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: he made. So my response will be, as his dad 952 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:37,400 Speaker 1: is to set up all the resources necessary, the guiding principles, 953 00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:40,240 Speaker 1: but ultimately he's gonna have to choose. And I based 954 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,800 Speaker 1: that on you know, my experience with my dad and 955 00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 1: knowing that my dad, you know, wanted the best for me, 956 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: and he wanted the best for all of his kids. 957 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: But there are things that I transpired in my live 958 00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:53,200 Speaker 1: life that my dad didn't even understand how to help 959 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,200 Speaker 1: me process, which led to me running away, led to 960 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,759 Speaker 1: me getting caught up in the streets. And you know, 961 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: one of the one of the things that was really 962 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: important with me and my dad was for me letting 963 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: him know that he wasn't responsible for the decisions I 964 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,719 Speaker 1: made that led to me being in prison, and that 965 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,279 Speaker 1: was a liberating moment for both of us. And so 966 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,719 Speaker 1: with my son, I just do egoists parenting, Like, you know, 967 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,160 Speaker 1: I provide the resource of the opportunities, and ultimately he's 968 00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: going to have to make the decisions. And like I 969 00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: don't have any ego attest as outcomes. Why why is 970 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: the relationship with our fathers so complicated, because that's that's 971 00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, for me, even when I 972 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: started going to therapy for anxiety and depression realizing all 973 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,040 Speaker 1: these father issues I had. Why Why is that so 974 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: complicated that relationship? You know, I think there's a few 975 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,479 Speaker 1: things that has happened, specifically with black Man. For one, 976 00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,480 Speaker 1: our narrative has been shrunken to us only being capable 977 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: of providers, and if there was any struggle with provision, 978 00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,000 Speaker 1: then that's a direct attack on manhood, and any other 979 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: male figure is a threat to that, you know. With 980 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: my dad, my dad, when he met my mom, she 981 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,359 Speaker 1: had three children. He is just out of the Air 982 00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 1: Force twenty one years old, so he went straight into 983 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,320 Speaker 1: provision mode. And then they had three more children. And 984 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: I have a deeper appreciation now as I have one son, 985 00:48:15,160 --> 00:48:17,920 Speaker 1: to just realize how hard it is to be a provider. 986 00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,560 Speaker 1: But I think because that narrative has been so limiting, 987 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,399 Speaker 1: it hasn't allowed us the opportunities to have real meaningful conversations. 988 00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: And what happened with me and my dad is probably 989 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,600 Speaker 1: about you know, four or five years into my car's ration, 990 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,600 Speaker 1: I started really maturing and we were able to just 991 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:39,120 Speaker 1: have deep, meaningful conversation. It was all through letters, which 992 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,320 Speaker 1: is the inspiration of the book. And these are actually 993 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,600 Speaker 1: my daddy, my dad. I'm like my daddy, my daddy's letters. 994 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: These are actually his letters on the book because I 995 00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,440 Speaker 1: really wanted to honor how he showed up in that 996 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,719 Speaker 1: meaningful way. But you know, I think that the more 997 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: honest we are with what our emotional needs are, but 998 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,800 Speaker 1: also with our ability a teacher to provide beyond, you know, 999 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:06,480 Speaker 1: finances and discipline. I think the more we open up 1000 00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,440 Speaker 1: those conversations, the better relationships become between our fathers and son. 1001 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,560 Speaker 1: All right, well the movie got more with Shaka to goal. 1002 00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:14,399 Speaker 1: When we come back as the Breakfast Club, God Morning 1003 00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:19,280 Speaker 1: and I don't want to morning. Everybody is DJ Envy 1004 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: and Ngul Yee Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast 1005 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,360 Speaker 1: Club were still kicking it with Shakas and Gore. You know, 1006 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 1: he's a New York Times bestselling author for writing My 1007 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: Wrongs and has a new book called Let Us to 1008 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:31,880 Speaker 1: the Sons of Society, A Father's Invitation to love, honesty 1009 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: and freedom. Yee Chaka, can you talk about how instrumental 1010 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,760 Speaker 1: your father's support was for you while you were in prison, 1011 00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,799 Speaker 1: because imagine not even having that, you know, I mean, 1012 00:49:41,880 --> 00:49:44,680 Speaker 1: my dad was my primary supporter. We don't we don't 1013 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,959 Speaker 1: hear that story. You know. For nineteen years, my dad 1014 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:51,400 Speaker 1: came to see me at prisons all over Michigan. I 1015 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: think the farthest I've ever been away was about twelve hours, 1016 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,160 Speaker 1: and he and my stepmom and they would travel up 1017 00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: to see me. You know, he wrote me consistently. I 1018 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,279 Speaker 1: still have all this letters. Um. You know, he took 1019 00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: those phone calls. You know, he you know, was present 1020 00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,719 Speaker 1: with the real conversations. You know, there was a lot 1021 00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 1: of hurt that we both shared. You know, there was 1022 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,360 Speaker 1: a lot of areas of life where I felt, you know, 1023 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 1: he hadn't stood up, you know, the way that I 1024 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 1: thought he could have to protect us and make sure 1025 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: we were good when it came to things that was 1026 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,520 Speaker 1: difficult in the household. And he was just man enough 1027 00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: to listen and to give us a perspective and to 1028 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 1: give me a perspective, and we were able to talk. 1029 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: And so, you know, I celebrate him and everything that 1030 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,600 Speaker 1: I do. You know, that's my guy. The proudest part 1031 00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: of this book is just having his words like to 1032 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,960 Speaker 1: my son on there, you know, um, And because I 1033 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 1: think dads deserved their flowers, you know, and they deserve 1034 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 1: more than the big piece of chicken. What did you 1035 00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,839 Speaker 1: learn about your relationship with your father? You know from 1036 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: from the letters he sent you while you in prison? Man, 1037 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: you know, I learned that I had broke his heart, 1038 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, and that was that was crushing to me. 1039 00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:57,080 Speaker 1: Like I was an honor rolled scholarship student, I was smart, 1040 00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: very charismatic, like all the things you know, you were 1041 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: wanted a child, and I really learned that I broke 1042 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 1: his heart, and that was the hardest thing for me 1043 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,799 Speaker 1: to navigate, you know. As I've matured into a man, 1044 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: and especially as I've grown into a dad, and you know, 1045 00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: I think about moments with my son where I'm watching him, 1046 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,600 Speaker 1: you know, navigate life, and you know, I'm thinking of 1047 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: all the promise that he has, you know, and I 1048 00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,000 Speaker 1: think about my dad and what that experience was like 1049 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:29,120 Speaker 1: for him to watch his first biological son in an 1050 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 1: environment where he couldn't protect, he couldn't help, he couldn't 1051 00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:36,640 Speaker 1: do anything other than listen. And I remember this one 1052 00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:38,520 Speaker 1: moment when when I was in solitary, I wrote this 1053 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,239 Speaker 1: letter home, and I told my dad. You know, I 1054 00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:45,160 Speaker 1: was in solitary for a SOLAN officer, and you know, 1055 00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 1: I told my dad, I said, you know, these people 1056 00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:50,319 Speaker 1: said I'm never getting out of prison. And they said 1057 00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm never getting out of solitary. And I believed it 1058 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,239 Speaker 1: because my neighbor across me had been a solitary for 1059 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: twenty years. My neighbor next door had been a solitary 1060 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: for ten years. And I told my dad, I was like, man, 1061 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 1: you know, I really just want you to go on 1062 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: with your life and take care of Jay and you know, 1063 00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,799 Speaker 1: take care of family, and I'll figure this out in here, 1064 00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 1: you know. And my dad wrote me back, he was like, 1065 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: I'd never leave your side, you know. And so I, 1066 00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,680 Speaker 1: you know, as as a man, as a dad, now 1067 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 1: I understand exactly what that meant, you know, And I 1068 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,880 Speaker 1: understand how heartbreaking it was for him to have to 1069 00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,440 Speaker 1: be in a situation where the only thing he had 1070 00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 1: was the letters that he could send me to nurture 1071 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: me and support me. And I read those letters over 1072 00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: and over. Man, doing my toughest moments, I would just 1073 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,759 Speaker 1: go back to those letters and read him. So when 1074 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:39,480 Speaker 1: when you when you went to prison. Did he feel 1075 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,440 Speaker 1: like he failed? Oh? Absolutely, it was. It was heart broke. 1076 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,959 Speaker 1: He felt like it was his his faut. He felt 1077 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 1: like there was something that he didn't do or something 1078 00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:49,600 Speaker 1: that he missed. And I think, you know, all of 1079 00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:52,719 Speaker 1: us as parents played Monday Monday Monday Morning quarterback where 1080 00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,920 Speaker 1: we kind of go back like, you know, oh, if 1081 00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: I would have did this, the outcome would have been 1082 00:52:56,680 --> 00:53:00,040 Speaker 1: doing um. But you know, we had a moment and 1083 00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,120 Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen ninety five, and this probably 1084 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: was the hardest visit I've ever been on with my dad. 1085 00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,120 Speaker 1: I was in solitary for something different at that time, 1086 00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:12,920 Speaker 1: and they had me shackled up, like the handcuffs on 1087 00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: but also the shackles on my feet, and I'm literally 1088 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,600 Speaker 1: walking up to the windom. I see my dad looking 1089 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 1: at me, and I see him trying to hold it together, 1090 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,800 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it's hardest breaking. Like 1091 00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,759 Speaker 1: I'm literally like shackled up, like I just got off 1092 00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:30,759 Speaker 1: you know, a ship, you know what I'm saying, that 1093 00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,560 Speaker 1: that held our ancestors in slavery, you know, and you know, 1094 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,359 Speaker 1: just watching him process that and try to figure out 1095 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:39,800 Speaker 1: how to bring me a sense of piece, you know, 1096 00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,920 Speaker 1: the little jokes, the little conversation, you know, so that 1097 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,800 Speaker 1: doing it was doing that visit that we had the 1098 00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,120 Speaker 1: conversation where he thought he was responsible and I was like, 1099 00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 1: I was like, nah, Like you know, there was a 1100 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,040 Speaker 1: series of things that happened, like I was dealing with PTSD, 1101 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:57,000 Speaker 1: I got shot seventeen months before I ended up shooting 1102 00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,760 Speaker 1: and taking somebody's life. What about the art of writing, 1103 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,560 Speaker 1: because you said your dad still writes letters to this day. 1104 00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: What would you say to people, because it's not something 1105 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,680 Speaker 1: that people do too often, but it means so much. 1106 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,799 Speaker 1: I think it's one of the greatest forms of communication, 1107 00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,560 Speaker 1: you know. I think the intimacy that's required for you 1108 00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,120 Speaker 1: to really sit and be present and think about what 1109 00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: you want to share with another human being, it's just 1110 00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,720 Speaker 1: so powerful, you know, because it allows you to reflect deeply. 1111 00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,200 Speaker 1: And you know when I when I first came up 1112 00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,160 Speaker 1: with ideas I mentioned, I was thinking about writing like 1113 00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,799 Speaker 1: all the sons I've encountered. But when I sat down 1114 00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,400 Speaker 1: and I started writing, you know, I saw the faces 1115 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,080 Speaker 1: of my boys, you know, I heard their voices, and 1116 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: I thought about little mannerisms and you know, the beauty 1117 00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,200 Speaker 1: of who they are, you know, I closed the end 1118 00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: of it, you know, the book out with one of 1119 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: the passage I think is one of the most beautiful, 1120 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,759 Speaker 1: and it just talks about how the swagger of their 1121 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,719 Speaker 1: you know, their nature and how they walk to earth, 1122 00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,439 Speaker 1: you know. And I think it's so important for black boys, 1123 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 1: especially in these times, to really hear that from their dads, 1124 00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,680 Speaker 1: you know, and from other men, and that we have 1125 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 1: to firmed them and lift them up. And so that 1126 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:06,360 Speaker 1: that intimacy of writing um, you know, it was really refreshing, 1127 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,359 Speaker 1: you know, and it was actually healing for me as well, 1128 00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,600 Speaker 1: because what I realized is that we always here we 1129 00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:16,840 Speaker 1: have to change the narrative around black men, and I 1130 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: don't believe that to be true. I think we just 1131 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,759 Speaker 1: have to expand the narrative to include all of who 1132 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,280 Speaker 1: we are, like not just not just our negative moments. 1133 00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,280 Speaker 1: You know. One of my mentors, Trabian Shorters, he always 1134 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,000 Speaker 1: talks about how we have to start asset framing each 1135 00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:34,800 Speaker 1: other and thinking about what is the most positive aspects 1136 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,200 Speaker 1: of us. And in my experience, like all my friends 1137 00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,640 Speaker 1: are dope dads, you know, the friends I talked about 1138 00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,960 Speaker 1: in the book, my guy Fame, I think i'd tell 1139 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 1: y'all he came to your car. So he brought that 1140 00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,719 Speaker 1: big red caprice. Uh. My guy Calvin, who I met, 1141 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,759 Speaker 1: my best friend I met in prison. He was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 1142 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: My guy Calvin, who did twenty four years for crime 1143 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,600 Speaker 1: he didn't commit. Uh, you know, he's been out now. 1144 00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 1: So these are these are my guys. They're like dope 1145 00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,080 Speaker 1: as you know, my brothers, my cousins. So I'm used 1146 00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:05,840 Speaker 1: to seeing men who show up, and so I just 1147 00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,239 Speaker 1: think we had to expand a narrative and clue all 1148 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 1: of us because if you think about this, right, what 1149 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:14,319 Speaker 1: if my story would have stopped at nineteen ninety one, 1150 00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,600 Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't be one of the only C 1151 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,799 Speaker 1: suite tech execs in Silicone Valley. I wouldn't be one 1152 00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 1: of the only formally incarcerating investors, a best selling author, 1153 00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:28,080 Speaker 1: you know, a dad community builder like I wouldn't have 1154 00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,680 Speaker 1: been none of these things of my narrative would have 1155 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: stopped back when people was okay with defining me from 1156 00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 1: that moment. You know, I've lived tons of life in 1157 00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:37,920 Speaker 1: the eleven years i've been out, you know, and so 1158 00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,000 Speaker 1: my narrative has expanded and I've been able to contribute 1159 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 1: in a real way. And so I think we have 1160 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,000 Speaker 1: to just expand a narrative for black men and especially 1161 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 1: amongst each other, like seeing each other as more than 1162 00:56:49,760 --> 00:56:52,600 Speaker 1: what we've accomplished, you know, seeing a humanity of who 1163 00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,120 Speaker 1: we are and all we're capable of. And so that's 1164 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,239 Speaker 1: what you know, I really wanted to present in the book. 1165 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: Shocker led us to the son of society, invitation to love, honesty, 1166 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 1: and freedom.

Here's what he 1209 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: had to say about his mental health, because he said 1210 00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: a lot of fans and experts have been referring to 1211 00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 1: him as quote crazy. Everyone in the world got different 1212 00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 1: former reactions or what happened to him, and it's all 1213 00:59:24,520 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: based upon where are you from, how you feel, and 1214 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 1: no one only gonna know that regards of who you is. 1215 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:33,240 Speaker 1: The thing with football players, mental health and CT is 1216 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: this these guys are willing to do whatever it takes 1217 00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 1: to make some obligator game. But they're in the midst 1218 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,040 Speaker 1: of those games, they're being mistreated. It's a lot of facts, 1219 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,440 Speaker 1: stuff that went on that may not been handled right. 1220 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 1: And then you and then you started your career on 1221 00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: a high. If we all players and we all saying 1222 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 1: we care about mental health, why every time something happened 1223 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 1: bad or how song react, Oh he's craziest song. Wrong 1224 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,919 Speaker 1: with his mental health. It's not wrong my mental health. Yeah. 1225 01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: I think it's because a lot of folks are still 1226 01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 1: just learning about CT. So whenever they see, you know, 1227 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,800 Speaker 1: any actions that they made, Deem is crazy, they already 1228 01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: automatically assuming just because he's a football player, you know, 1229 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:16,720 Speaker 1: something's wrong with him and in that regard. And people 1230 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,760 Speaker 1: also don't know what goes on behind the scenes, so 1231 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 1: all they see is what happened. They don't know what 1232 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:23,200 Speaker 1: led up to it. Like he said, yeah, and that's 1233 01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:24,800 Speaker 1: how I feel through When I saw him on the sidelines, 1234 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he looked like he just made a choice. 1235 01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: To me, he didn't like he was having no mental breakdown. 1236 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,200 Speaker 1: He just made a choice. I was just waiting to 1237 01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:32,919 Speaker 1: see what he had to say about it later before 1238 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 1: you pass judgment. He was out all right now. Fat 1239 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,080 Speaker 1: Joe was also on the Iromathlete podcast and he was 1240 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: talking about basically fake friends and getting rid of them 1241 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,840 Speaker 1: and what his plan was. So we had fifty guys 1242 01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:49,520 Speaker 1: with me, We all had the same Cabillac truck, we 1243 01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,320 Speaker 1: all had changed. Everybody go to jail a bellam, I 1244 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,439 Speaker 1: pay for the lawyer. This, this, this, that one time 1245 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,560 Speaker 1: I said, all fifty of them together. We was at 1246 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,520 Speaker 1: the Rich Carlton in Puerto Rico, and I say, you listen, man, 1247 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,000 Speaker 1: she ain't the same. I ain't got it. And I 1248 01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:06,720 Speaker 1: had it when I was checking out. Of the fifty 1249 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,920 Speaker 1: guys that was dead, only six of them saying, Yo, 1250 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000 Speaker 1: if your dad broke, I'll be with you man, no 1251 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:15,600 Speaker 1: matter why. Every day those are six guys that's still 1252 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,960 Speaker 1: with me. Now. So God put that in my head 1253 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: and say, yo, try these dudes, man, See they really 1254 01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,760 Speaker 1: with you. They wasn't really with me all right.

So the point 1259 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,680 Speaker 1: is this, everybody want to be the guy everybody look 1260 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 1: up to. There's no real strength in that. The strength 1261 01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:51,160 Speaker 1: is everybody eating. So if one of us falls, we 1262 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,560 Speaker 1: can left him up.

White supremacist 1306 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,760 Speaker 1: violence is always have been the number one threat to outside. 1307 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,240 Speaker 1: But I'm also very proud that my wife was white 1308 01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,760 Speaker 1: because the practice club bitches slight running. Please tell me 1309 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,680 Speaker 1: why was I the other day? Hey, donkey to day 1310 01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 1: for Thursday, January twenty feth go to the forty sixth 1311 01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,960 Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, as 1312 01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,400 Speaker 1: well as Arizona Senator Kursten Cinema and West Virginia Senator 1313 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion. These three are collectively responsible for the deaf 1314 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:54,920 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party as we know it. Okay, Joe 1315 01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,320 Speaker 1: Biden and other Democrats love to run around and say 1316 01:04:57,360 --> 01:04:59,000 Speaker 1: we have to go out there and vote like democracy 1317 01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:01,960 Speaker 1: depends on it. People are asking if we are witnessing 1318 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: the death of democracy in America. Will guess what if 1319 01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,440 Speaker 1: it is, which I believe it is. For some of us. 1320 01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 1: These three are to blame, simple as that. Okay, if 1321 01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: you haven't heard, last night, Democrats came up short on 1322 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,000 Speaker 1: a last ditch held Mary type of effort to advance 1323 01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:18,120 Speaker 1: the voting rights bill. Let me tell you something. You 1324 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,280 Speaker 1: all know that your uncle Charlotte is a diehard Dallas 1325 01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:25,120 Speaker 1: Cowboy fan. Okay, and I shut up. And I really 1326 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 1: thought that Sunday night, watching my Dallas Cowboys down twenty 1327 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: three seventeen with fourteen seconds left in the game and 1328 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott running a draw play from the forty one 1329 01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: yard line instead of maybe getting one of possibly two 1330 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:37,560 Speaker 1: shots at the end zone off, I thought that was 1331 01:05:37,600 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: gonna be the dumbest finish I would see this week. 1332 01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,320 Speaker 1: But President Biden said, hold my prove juice. All right now, 1333 01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep this as simple as possible. Since the 1334 01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 1: last summer nineteen states have enacted thirty three laws that 1335 01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,080 Speaker 1: will make it hard for Americans to vote by Americans, 1336 01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: I mean negas, all right, the Blacks, all right. All 1337 01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:01,120 Speaker 1: these geop sponted state laws will suppress turnout by minority voters. 1338 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: This is an old tune, ladies and gentlemen, I write 1339 01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,120 Speaker 1: voter suppression by the GOP against black people is the 1340 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:08,960 Speaker 1: greatest hit, all right, a golden od kids, trust me, 1341 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,440 Speaker 1: it would break off screaming records. It is the ed 1342 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,160 Speaker 1: sharing shape of view of American politics. All Right. President 1343 01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,000 Speaker 1: Biden knew that going in and after the attempted coore 1344 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:20,000 Speaker 1: of this country on January six, that should have been 1345 01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 1: his first order of business, protecting voting rights. I've told 1346 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:26,960 Speaker 1: y'all so many different times on this here, radio and 1347 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,600 Speaker 1: on other platforms, on TV and everything else. There's three 1348 01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:33,439 Speaker 1: or four things Joe Biden had to do to protect democracy. Okay, 1349 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 1: this morning, I'll give you three. One. Prosecute everyone involved 1350 01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 1: in the attempted cool of this country to the highest 1351 01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:41,320 Speaker 1: extent of the law, not just the members of Vanilla 1352 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,840 Speaker 1: Isis who stormed the Capitol, but the members of Congress 1353 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 1: who helped him to get rid of the filibusters. So 1354 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: you can properly govern in three protect voting rights. Voting rights. 1355 01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 1: But guess what, none of those things have happened. Okay. 1356 01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 1: I never understood why anyone thought it would. I mean, 1357 01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:01,360 Speaker 1: if you have the GEOP passing, you know, the thirty 1358 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,080 Speaker 1: three laws in nineteen states and support a voter suppression, 1359 01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,400 Speaker 1: why would anyone in their right mind think that you 1360 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:08,680 Speaker 1: could work with any of those people to pass voter 1361 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 1: rights legislation. It makes no sense. Republican politicians are the 1362 01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,640 Speaker 1: epitome of unity and group operation. They fall in line 1363 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 1: with each other, and if one doesn't fall in line, 1364 01:07:18,280 --> 01:07:22,479 Speaker 1: they get the business okay. Last week on NPR, Donald 1365 01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 1: Trump called Mitch McConnell a loser and blamed him for 1366 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,960 Speaker 1: the GOP senators who won't go along with his claims 1367 01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:31,120 Speaker 1: that the election was stolen. Last week, he also caught 1368 01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:35,120 Speaker 1: out Arizona Republican officials for accepting the twenty twenty election 1369 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:39,600 Speaker 1: results and called them rhinos Republicans in name only. Why 1370 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: did Trump do that because those individuals blocked his agenda 1371 01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,760 Speaker 1: kept him from getting done what he wanted to get done. 1372 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 1: That's what you should do when people in your own 1373 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,720 Speaker 1: party are blocking your agenda. Now we all know Trump 1374 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: is doing that for self serving reasons. So if you 1375 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,760 Speaker 1: can call out people in your party for self serving 1376 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,200 Speaker 1: reasons and everyone is fine with it, then why can't 1377 01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:01,520 Speaker 1: President Biden call out Joe Mann and Kristen Cinema for 1378 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,320 Speaker 1: blocking his agenda when them blocking his agenda is actually 1379 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: hurting the American people. Okay, if you ask me, it's 1380 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,840 Speaker 1: because he don't care Black people. Voting is simply not 1381 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:15,720 Speaker 1: a priority for Biden, matching our cinema, simple as that 1382 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: this should have been a priority. He had to notice 1383 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: day would come, but he didn't care. Why. My man 1384 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,160 Speaker 1: Sean King said it best on Instagram last night, because 1385 01:08:24,280 --> 01:08:27,679 Speaker 1: Joe Biden has never known to day in his life 1386 01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:30,479 Speaker 1: what it means to have his voting rights threatened. All right, 1387 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,719 Speaker 1: does a matter of white privilege for Biden. He failed 1388 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: to give this issue the true energy and priority that 1389 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,920 Speaker 1: it deserved because he simply can't relate. Same with Cinema 1390 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,360 Speaker 1: in Mansion, they have never experienced their voting rights threatened, 1391 01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 1: and they don't need you negroes to win elections, so 1392 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:48,040 Speaker 1: why should they care, well, Mansion in Cinema, why should 1393 01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,080 Speaker 1: they care? Biden needs to care. By the way, we 1394 01:08:50,240 --> 01:08:53,520 Speaker 1: knew that jig was in when last year GOP legislators 1395 01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,880 Speaker 1: praised Mansion and Cinema for not getting Ridy to fill 1396 01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: abuster because without that they would be dead meat. Let 1397 01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:59,800 Speaker 1: me play this for you again. I played it for 1398 01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:01,720 Speaker 1: you a few times last year, but now that y'all 1399 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:03,640 Speaker 1: might be paying a little bit more attention. This is 1400 01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:08,000 Speaker 1: GOP legislators praising Joe Mansion and Cinema but basically being 1401 01:09:08,040 --> 01:09:10,760 Speaker 1: on their side. This was last year. Listen. Fortunately for 1402 01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:14,240 Speaker 1: us to filibuster still in effect in the Senate. Without that, 1403 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,160 Speaker 1: he would be dead me. But thank goodness for Cinema 1404 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,840 Speaker 1: and Joe Mansion. Yeah, I just really thank you for 1405 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,760 Speaker 1: saying for the country. You know, all of you in 1406 01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:24,960 Speaker 1: the shroom, people at home on zoom. Let me tell 1407 01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 1: you right now, if you want to do one thing 1408 01:09:27,160 --> 01:09:32,400 Speaker 1: to keep the republic aflow. Called Joe Mansion's office, called 1409 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:36,439 Speaker 1: Curson Cinemas on Cristin Cinema's office, be polite. He's like, Hi, 1410 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,479 Speaker 1: I'm here to talk to us Senator Joe Mansin and 1411 01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 1: thank him. We're keeping the filibuster attacked. Mmmm. Those are 1412 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,840 Speaker 1: GOP legislators. Didn't even when they were being recorded, all right. 1413 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 1: Joe Biden gave a statement yesterday after the failed vote 1414 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 1: to change the filibuster. He said, let me reach some 1415 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,880 Speaker 1: of it. He said, I am profoundly disappointed that the 1416 01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,560 Speaker 1: Senate has failed to stand up for our democracy. I 1417 01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,519 Speaker 1: am disappointed, but I am not deterred. We will continue 1418 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,640 Speaker 1: to advance necessary legis slation and push for Senate procedural 1419 01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: changes that will protect the fundamental right to vote. End quote. 1420 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:09,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he's old or maybe 1421 01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,599 Speaker 1: he really doesn't care, but I never hear the sense 1422 01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:16,600 Speaker 1: of urgency. It's literally always more urgency for us to 1423 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: go out there and vote than it is for elected 1424 01:10:19,240 --> 01:10:23,320 Speaker 1: officials to protect voting rights. All you're about to hear 1425 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 1: for the next however, many months before the midterms, is 1426 01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,600 Speaker 1: how we have to have the largest voter turnout in 1427 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,200 Speaker 1: the history of the midterms in order to protect democracy. 1428 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,920 Speaker 1: How we have to vote like democracy depends on it, 1429 01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 1: but they never ever govern like democracy depends on it. 1430 01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:39,680 Speaker 1: You are gonna hear you have to go out there 1431 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 1: and vote, because if votes didn't matter, why are they 1432 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 1: fighting so hard to take them from you? Yes, that 1433 01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,519 Speaker 1: is true, but you know what else matters when you're 1434 01:10:47,520 --> 01:10:51,040 Speaker 1: an elected official getting things done. When you're an elected 1435 01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: official who keeps campaign promises, you want me to get 1436 01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,439 Speaker 1: up and fight through all these various voter suppression efforts, 1437 01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:59,560 Speaker 1: in some cases literally fight to keep an administration in 1438 01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,800 Speaker 1: that had done what they said they were going to do, 1439 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,759 Speaker 1: not keeping campaign promises as a form of voter suppression. Okay, 1440 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:07,760 Speaker 1: now let me tell you something. I'm gonna vote in 1441 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,040 Speaker 1: the midterms and the presidential election. I don't know who 1442 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm voting for. I don't even know what I'm voting 1443 01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:14,640 Speaker 1: for yet, but I'm going to vote. Okay, But if 1444 01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,960 Speaker 1: you don't want to, I understand. And for all the 1445 01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,080 Speaker 1: folks out there who are going to push people to vote, 1446 01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,000 Speaker 1: like actively go out there and campaign for folks, what 1447 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,360 Speaker 1: are you going to tell them? That's what I want 1448 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:25,519 Speaker 1: to know. What are you gonna tell them? The Biden 1449 01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:28,280 Speaker 1: administration has armed you with nothing. Ten thousand for student 1450 01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 1: loans that didn't happen. George Floyd Policing Act didn't happen, 1451 01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: Bill Back Better didn't happen. Okay, voting rights didn't happen. 1452 01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 1: All right, I know it's even a year, but none 1453 01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: of those things have happened. But voting rights, the cornerstone 1454 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 1: of our democracy, didn't happen. And it's because the real 1455 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:49,040 Speaker 1: leaders of this country, Joe Mansion and Christen Cinema Democrats, allegedly, 1456 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:52,479 Speaker 1: it's because they are false flagging. And since they are 1457 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 1: false flagging, are the Democrats gonna attempt to run them 1458 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 1: off the set. Are they going to run someone to 1459 01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,800 Speaker 1: challenge Joe mansion seat? What about christin cinema? I don't 1460 01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:01,679 Speaker 1: even know how that works, but I know when someone 1461 01:12:01,840 --> 01:12:04,360 Speaker 1: not really in your gang and they fall flagging you, 1462 01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,120 Speaker 1: let it be known. In all right, they won't even 1463 01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:09,040 Speaker 1: let it be known. They won't even call them out 1464 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 1: on how they help blocking progress because Democrats are willing 1465 01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:18,920 Speaker 1: to try every political strategy except honesty and courage. The 1466 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:20,720 Speaker 1: moral of the story is, and I really need to 1467 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 1: take a drink of water before I say this, because 1468 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,160 Speaker 1: it's really been on my mind. The moral of the 1469 01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:28,160 Speaker 1: story is what I really want to say on this 1470 01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 1: radio this morning. This is Nad McKelvey, Charlomagne and God talking. 1471 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,080 Speaker 1: I just want Joe Madison to eat.

We are the breakfast club. It's time for asking. Hello. 1524 01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:37,600 Speaker 1: Who's this this Joe Detroit? How's it going? And what 1525 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:40,599 Speaker 1: I've done? Man? What's your question for? Easy? Yeah? Quick questions. 1526 01:15:40,640 --> 01:15:43,920 Speaker 1: So I'm I'm thinking this girl and she pretty much 1527 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,680 Speaker 1: gave me the ultimatum, like, look, and we don't. If 1528 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,680 Speaker 1: I can't move in, we can't be together no more? 1529 01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:52,639 Speaker 1: So what should I do? Should I? Should? I stand 1530 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,080 Speaker 1: the situation? I mean, I want to be with it, 1531 01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:56,920 Speaker 1: but it's like that you don't want to move in. 1532 01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,240 Speaker 1: That's just moving too fast to me, you know. But 1533 01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: if she gives you an ultimatum and it's not something 1534 01:16:02,360 --> 01:16:04,200 Speaker 1: you want to do, you have to say no. How 1535 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:07,720 Speaker 1: long you've been dating it though, about a year and now? Yeah? 1536 01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 1: And that doesn't matter though, because if you don't want 1537 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,240 Speaker 1: to move in with somebody, and she gives you an ultimatum, 1538 01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: I saying, I can't be with you unless we move 1539 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,439 Speaker 1: in together. You can't compromise that. I mean, that's a 1540 01:16:18,520 --> 01:16:21,280 Speaker 1: big deal sharing space, and I think that you know 1541 01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,599 Speaker 1: what's the next move after that? If you're not ready, 1542 01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,240 Speaker 1: you can't let somebody force you into something. Yeah. See, 1543 01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 1: I'm coming through in the same way. Like it was 1544 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 1: like one of those things. The first time she's going 1545 01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,479 Speaker 1: to my house. I woke up, she's going through all 1546 01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,760 Speaker 1: my stuff? Like what she was like, this is what 1547 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 1: I do. She's like, look, you know date needs. This 1548 01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,400 Speaker 1: is what I'm going through your stuff. We gotta live 1549 01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 1: together otherwise I'll find another dude to replace you. I'm like, wow, 1550 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:51,719 Speaker 1: well it sounds like she needs a place to stay. 1551 01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:57,040 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yeah, and imagine somebody 1552 01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,519 Speaker 1: even telling you that that sounds awful to tell you, Oh, 1553 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,120 Speaker 1: if you don't let me move in with you, I'll 1554 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:05,000 Speaker 1: find somebody else who will. That's not the type of 1555 01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,560 Speaker 1: relationship you want to be in. Actually, I thought it 1556 01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,320 Speaker 1: was one of those situations where she was just, you know, 1557 01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:15,599 Speaker 1: basically playing hard to get or just I don't even know. Yeah, 1558 01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,479 Speaker 1: that sounds like some red flags. And let me tell 1559 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,240 Speaker 1: you something. If you're moving with somebody who you don't 1560 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,160 Speaker 1: want to be with, you can't even find peace at home. 1561 01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 1: Imagine you don't even feel like coming home. She's going 1562 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:27,439 Speaker 1: through your stuff and she's questioning everything that you do. 1563 01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,839 Speaker 1: That's you know, home is like your peace you're having. 1564 01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 1: You don't even want to have to deal with that. 1565 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

UM start on the New year, 1580 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,280 Speaker 1: she told me that she's feeling depressed and she doesn't 1581 01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:27,120 Speaker 1: want to be together. She feels like she needs to 1582 01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 1: be by herself. And it's just really hard for me 1583 01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,640 Speaker 1: because I feel the complete opposite. I really love this 1584 01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,439 Speaker 1: woman and I devoted my whole life to her, and 1585 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,640 Speaker 1: I really thought she wasn't gonna be I was going 1586 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:41,080 Speaker 1: to spend the rest of my life with. So I 1587 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,880 Speaker 1: just need help getting through this man, Because well, if 1588 01:18:43,920 --> 01:18:47,400 Speaker 1: you love her and she's expressed to you that she's depressed, 1589 01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: then you have to support how she is, if you 1590 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,800 Speaker 1: really love and care about her. Um, have you seen 1591 01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 1: the signs of depression that she's talking about. I don't. 1592 01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't like I see that. Sometimes it feels like 1593 01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,240 Speaker 1: she struggles with what she's going on right now in life, 1594 01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,120 Speaker 1: Like like she just doesn't know the career that she's doing, 1595 01:19:06,200 --> 01:19:09,880 Speaker 1: if it's going off right, if if everything that we did, 1596 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,360 Speaker 1: I guess we rushed into everything. We're both young. She's 1597 01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:16,679 Speaker 1: twenty six, I'm twenty thirty, Like I don't know it's 1598 01:19:16,800 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 1: that please into a role of everything. But like I 1599 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, Like, you know, I have to 1600 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,679 Speaker 1: support her, but it's still hard when I genuinely don't 1601 01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: want to be away from her and I love her, 1602 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,519 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And you know that's hard. And the 1603 01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:32,719 Speaker 1: best thing that you can do though is be patient. 1604 01:19:33,200 --> 01:19:35,439 Speaker 1: Right if it's meant to be and if you love 1605 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:38,320 Speaker 1: her and she does truly love you, we have to 1606 01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,120 Speaker 1: be able to stand as individuals before we can be 1607 01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: in a successful relationship. And so I think for her, 1608 01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 1: she needs to build herself up and do what she 1609 01:19:46,880 --> 01:19:49,000 Speaker 1: needs to do. All you can do is offer her 1610 01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: your support and help. And when I mean help, I 1611 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:53,760 Speaker 1: mean like maybe directed to some resources that you feel 1612 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,960 Speaker 1: like might be good. Let her know that you care 1613 01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,439 Speaker 1: about her, whatever decision that it is that she makes. 1614 01:19:58,760 --> 01:20:00,760 Speaker 1: Let her know that you're there for her. You can 1615 01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,479 Speaker 1: be a friend right now, you know, like you said, 1616 01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 1: and you agree that you feel like you rushed into things. Yeah, okay, 1617 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean under the circumstances that we were in. You know, 1618 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:13,240 Speaker 1: I agree, like she had just gotten out of a 1619 01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:17,680 Speaker 1: bad relationship, right and her, and yeah, I feel like 1620 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:20,320 Speaker 1: that could play a role into everything. Yeah, so she's 1621 01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,519 Speaker 1: not completely healed from that. Is she getting some type 1622 01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 1: of help? Um, honestly, I don't. I don't know. I 1623 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,960 Speaker 1: don't think so, just because she's always so busy.

She's told you 1633 01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,920 Speaker 1: that she needs space, so you should respect that. But 1634 01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,560 Speaker 1: you can also, at the same time try to be 1635 01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:05,720 Speaker 1: supportive as a friend, because if you care about her, 1636 01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:08,920 Speaker 1: you care about her health and well being as well.

They don't agree with everything, but we 1663 01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: got with him. He made Jesus walks Jesus. I never 1664 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:44,000 Speaker 1: heard fad Juley Kanye is his favorite rapper's and that 1665 01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:45,960 Speaker 1: was on Brandon Marshall's podcast. Right, what's the name of 1666 01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:50,240 Speaker 1: the podcast? I am athlete. I've heard fra Ju Nas 1667 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,840 Speaker 1: is his favorite rapper. M all right, Well, speaking of Nas, 1668 01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,400 Speaker 1: Nas has invested in African mobile games publisher carry First 1669 01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,360 Speaker 1: in a financing round, raising twenty million dollars. So he's 1670 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,960 Speaker 1: joining other people in this investment. You know, he's been 1671 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:08,080 Speaker 1: doing some amazing investments and so that hit. That's with 1672 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,559 Speaker 1: his his venture capital firm, Queen's Bread Venture Partners. He's 1673 01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,720 Speaker 1: also invested in Dropbox, Left, rob My Head, coin Base, 1674 01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:19,639 Speaker 1: and things like that. So shout out to bomb for Nazil. 1675 01:23:22,640 --> 01:23:26,000 Speaker 1: That's amazing, right. I think that does encourage other people too, 1676 01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 1: because it is really your way to get it rich 1677 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:31,680 Speaker 1: is to invest in these tech companies. And I know 1678 01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:33,600 Speaker 1: you may not be able to get in on that 1679 01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 1: ground floor, but we've been talking so much about stocks 1680 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:38,920 Speaker 1: and investments, so this is just one example of things 1681 01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 1: that are possible. Now. One thing Evan, you just saw 1682 01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:47,639 Speaker 1: was TI and you said he was doing stand up comedy. 1683 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,760 Speaker 1: I've seen something the Jasmine Brand posted that. They said 1684 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,200 Speaker 1: t I was doing a stand up comedy last night. 1685 01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:53,880 Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't hear it or just seen 1686 01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,479 Speaker 1: enough thought it was interesting. Oh yeah, So that's not 1687 01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:57,960 Speaker 1: an easy thing to do, though, We've seen a lot 1688 01:23:58,000 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 1: of people hit that stage. So what I want to 1689 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,760 Speaker 1: do is do we have the audio because this is 1690 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:04,840 Speaker 1: something that just got posted on the Jasmine brand a 1691 01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:06,800 Speaker 1: few months ago. Back. No, it's no audio. A few 1692 01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,040 Speaker 1: minutes ago you met. Oh yeah, a few minutes ago. 1693 01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,760 Speaker 1: So they said he just added stand up to his 1694 01:24:12,960 --> 01:24:16,320 Speaker 1: resume and he's just getting started, so that should be 1695 01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,040 Speaker 1: something interesting to see now. Bobby Schmirder was on million 1696 01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,400 Speaker 1: dollars worth of Game and they had a welcome home 1697 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 1: party for him. I know y'all saw this audio. Seemed 1698 01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,599 Speaker 1: like he was having an amazing time dancing with Gillian Willow, 1699 01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,400 Speaker 1: he fell off the couch and everything. But he also 1700 01:24:29,520 --> 01:24:32,320 Speaker 1: talked about the first thing that he did when he 1701 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 1: came home, how was your welcoming home? Was? It? Was 1702 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:38,160 Speaker 1: it like we're gonna be hunted like ten bitches that 1703 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,040 Speaker 1: but like t after like six mines the jet, like 1704 01:24:42,320 --> 01:24:46,280 Speaker 1: two bitches smoked. Well, you just came home eating rolla 1705 01:24:47,720 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 1: right on the jet. Six years bro, six years from 1706 01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:56,599 Speaker 1: ain't nobody coming, Ain't nobody doing a half a decade 1707 01:24:56,640 --> 01:25:07,080 Speaker 1: and not come home eating? No. I think there's a 1708 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 1: bitch minimum. I don't know. I think it's like a 1709 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,400 Speaker 1: two bitch minimum. You gotta stop believing. Want to clue 1710 01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:16,920 Speaker 1: bum and dollars worth? That looked like a fun interview. Yeah, 1711 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:21,679 Speaker 1: all right now. Taja posted this woman named Taja Riley 1712 01:25:22,280 --> 01:25:25,080 Speaker 1: and she was talking about the super Bowl halftime show. 1713 01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 1: She posted a message that she had received and it says, hello, Taja, 1714 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,959 Speaker 1: my husband told me that the Super Bowl is recruiting 1715 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,840 Speaker 1: volunteers to dance for no pay. I also heard that 1716 01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 1: production of the super Bowl halftime performance reached out asking 1717 01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,000 Speaker 1: if they had any dances on their roster who would 1718 01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,680 Speaker 1: be interested in volunteering and performing for no pay. I'm 1719 01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: surprised that Black La actually considered an email their roster 1720 01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:48,560 Speaker 1: of the super Bowl situation. They should have said no, 1721 01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:51,880 Speaker 1: especially because black was originally the main agency with an 1722 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,600 Speaker 1: audition invite for Fatima and Adrian is paid dancers we 1723 01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:57,080 Speaker 1: saw the clothes call on their Instagram. This is all 1724 01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:00,400 Speaker 1: bad now. Riley posted this on her page. Agent said, 1725 01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,439 Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't have to explain, but the super 1726 01:26:02,479 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 1: Bowl is the most profitable global sporting event on any 1727 01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:09,080 Speaker 1: given year. Why be cheap, especially on such an incredibly 1728 01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:14,720 Speaker 1: important performance honoring and showcasing African American talent? What do 1729 01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:18,200 Speaker 1: you guys think about that? With the super Bowl asking 1730 01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 1: for people to just basically volunteer to dance for the 1731 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,280 Speaker 1: halftime show and not paying the dancers. I mean they 1732 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:25,120 Speaker 1: can ask for whatever they want. You ain't got to 1733 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:30,120 Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, they should pay to people though. You know, 1734 01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 1: it's interesting, right, like because it's an opportunity, and if 1735 01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:37,280 Speaker 1: you're like an up and coming dance troop, you know 1736 01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,880 Speaker 1: what I mean, you might take advantage of that opportunity. 1737 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 1: Alien's eyes on you. It's kind of it's an investment 1738 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:46,439 Speaker 1: in yourself. I'm not mad at it, you know, listen 1739 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:48,559 Speaker 1: as I get it. It's business, right, so you always 1740 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 1: gonna try to get somebody hit too something for free. 1741 01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:55,760 Speaker 1: But it is an opportunity, right. You can pay them 1742 01:26:55,800 --> 01:26:57,880 Speaker 1: a little something though, because as much money as they make, 1743 01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:00,280 Speaker 1: at least a day raid, But do they make that 1744 01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,640 Speaker 1: transportation If doctor Drake face for his own seting, I 1745 01:27:02,680 --> 01:27:04,360 Speaker 1: thought the artists pay for their own sets and everybody 1746 01:27:04,360 --> 01:27:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that how much the super Bowl makes, 1747 01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 1: but they're there. I think traditionally the super Bowl pays 1748 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 1: for your production and all of that, but they don't 1749 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 1: pay the artists because you get streams and you get 1750 01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:15,760 Speaker 1: all kinds of promotion from that. I thought we read 1751 01:27:15,800 --> 01:27:18,360 Speaker 1: something he said he's paying for his own But traditionally 1752 01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,800 Speaker 1: what they do is they do pay for the poet. Yeah, 1753 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,479 Speaker 1: super Bowl don't care about that. They don't give it 1754 01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:24,600 Speaker 1: that budget, whatever that budget is, and the rest is 1755 01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:26,919 Speaker 1: on that game. Listen. I'm a starting believing and recognize 1756 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity when it's not a paycheck attached to it. So, 1757 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I wish they were offering some money, 1758 01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,000 Speaker 1: but if they're not, I don't know if that would 1759 01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: keep me from doing it. Just depends on, you know, 1760 01:27:36,479 --> 01:27:39,400 Speaker 1: how much visibility I want. I guess y'all do less 1761 01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:45,160 Speaker 1: for clout nowadays. I know, but this requires like rehearsals. 1762 01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:47,559 Speaker 1: I mean, it's real work. The super Bowl at time 1763 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,640 Speaker 1: show It's really about what you want, all right, we 1764 01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 1: do have we do have a clip of TI doing 1765 01:27:52,520 --> 01:28:00,920 Speaker 1: stand up. By the way, well, a friend from the 1766 01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:10,760 Speaker 1: house is six. Don't care ladies.

Okay, hold on, that's 1769 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:35,560 Speaker 1: your okay, Ta ta, that's fine coming on a podcast. 1770 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 1: But no, not to stand up.

I just flow into town and tight. That's 1773 01:28:49,200 --> 01:28:52,000 Speaker 1: my guy. But if that's expediciously live, great.
