Hey? 0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.399 This is Vine. Good morning to everyone, Good morning getting 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:36.520 off your Okay, So in our community, I'm gonna take 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:41.680 the black community, we should normalize raising our kids without 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.480 abusing them. It's just something that shouldn't be done, like 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:48.200 why are we beating our kids? And like and then 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.960 people are quick to go to the Bible and say, oh, 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.040 you know, you know, they may spare the rod the towel, 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:57.520 but don't we all remember in school that the ride 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:02.920 means the rider corrections and not like necessarily disciplining with pain. 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.520 You know you but you know, you know that's something 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.680 we learn from our oppressor. You know, you know, That's 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:11.920 That's what I'm saying, Like we need to stop it, 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.919 Like there are people like that, you know, I whipped 0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.360 her bud or I did there's what about sitting down 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.280 and speaking with your child, that's right. My oldest daughter 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.480 is um thirteen, and you know I spent her when 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.000 she was like young like, you know, two years old, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.280 and I felt so stupid, and I always say to 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:33.320 myself like, how could my parents you know, beat me 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:39.440 with extension cards and everything else? And be okay, how 0:02:39.520 --> 0:02:42.720 did that not bother? And that's and that's what I'm saying. 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:46.160 And you're you're soul right. It is coming from our oppressors, 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.880 but I think we needed to be more conscious of 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.320 where it's coming from. Like bread the word talk to 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:57.440 each other because this is so sicky, so sick. Yeah, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:02.120 that's awful, Thank you mama.

I caught the speaker. We put the speaker 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.360 back on.

I 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.880 just waited quietly, um while you know, while going back 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.719 and forth and working, and the same miserable worker came over, 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.400 where do you belong? Oh you don't belong here? Now 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.880 report more than me and a whole bunch of nonsense. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:05.360 But you could just tell, man, she was just a 0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.760 miserable person and she wanted to pass that on to 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.120 whoever else. You know. Now you're leaving out the part 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:13.040 where you was trying to slip J Cole your mixtape, 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.760 and you're telling J Cole you rapped on I just 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:18.599 said that. He said that wasn't a mixtape, and and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:20.480 I don't get down. You just said shoot your shot. 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.160 I didn't want to. I didn't want it. That could 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.679 go any that could mean anything. You said shot. She's 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.200 a manager. But was she a manager? No, she wasn't 0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.080 a manager because because she could have gotten in trouble. 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:32.319 Maybe Jay Cole's people would have called. I respect that. 0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:35.160 It was just the way she went about it. The 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.520 way she went about it was just nasty and Charlo Man, 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.360 come on, I'm shooting my shot up with you on 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.199 these men. Man, you said shoot your shot. Didn't he 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.040 say that? You said you wanted to shot my artists 0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.800 before I said that you shot. I'm worried about I 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.440 don't know what kind of picture you wanted to paint, 0:11:49.800 --> 0:11:52.160 but I was. But where Okay, I got a question, 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:54.480 where are you? Where are you? Not where you were 0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.480 supposed to be? Though he wasn't you know, he was 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.319 somewhere else. No, No, I wasn't. I wasn't where I 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.679 was supposed to be. I mean like, it's not like 0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:04.280 I was making a disruption or or like I went 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.920 about it like you know, I work in production, so 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:10.680 I'm try not to invade people's face. I get it. Yeah, 0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.520 but she was, she was. She was security. But I 0:12:14.600 --> 0:12:17.079 will say, out of every venue that I've ever been to, 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:20.800 any any concert hall or any arena, the ball layers 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:24.240 usually the nicest people I've ever been to a lot 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.680 of people, the black lads. This is the nicest place. 0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:30.920 I was surprised because at the at the Garden that 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:33.360 that like that. Yeah, I would say, you know, I 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.280 love the I would say the back Lace is better 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.120 than the Garden to me and E Buddy, all these arenas, 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:38.800 but I love it the Garden. Dude. We got to 0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:40.920 do your job, bro, that's it. Good a job, all right. 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:49.079 Joe Man the Breakfast Club, Angel and Charlomagne the guard morning. 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:53.160 Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.199 are the Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.319 the building. Yes, indeed we have doctor Cameron Weett. Welcome Brubbo, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:00.559 Thanks so much for happening. How you doing. He's the 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:04.880 Senior Policy Advisor for Equity on White House COVID nineteen 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:07.719 task for What does that mean? Yeah, that's the first 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:10.199 question I asked when when the administration asked me to 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.679 come in in this role, Because equity means different things 0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:15.400 to different people. But I think from my perspective, and 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:17.800 I think the perspective of the Vice President of the President, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.160 it's making sure that everyone in every community has the 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:23.120 opportunity to achieve their best health, and in this pandemic, 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.040 it means not just to survive, but hopefully thrive. You know, 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.160 it's been a tough moment for they're attaching that word 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:29.440 equity to a lot of things. I don't know if 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.040 they should be attaching that word equity too. You saw 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.440 what happened last week when they or they when they 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:37.920 said it was crackpipes, but it was say smoking supply, kitch, 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.079 whatever you want to call it. Syringes and all that, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.360 and they attached racial equity to that too. Why do 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:44.880 you attaching equity to all these things? Different things become 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.079 buzzwords at different times, right, And I think then for 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:50.000 a long time we talked about disparities and equalities, and 0:13:50.080 --> 0:13:51.719 now I think people are focused on this notion of 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.559 equity and appropriately so, right, equity means that you know, 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:56.880 you're not doing the same thing for everybody, but you're 0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.040 finding ways to write systemic inequalities that have exists it 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.440 over time. And to do that you have to make 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.199 sure that you tailor strategies in different directions. So I 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:07.360 think that's the notion that's it's an underpinning of a 0:14:07.440 --> 0:14:09.800 lot of what the administration aims to do. But as 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.599 much as it's a it's an animating principle for the administration, 0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.360 it's a buzzword that a lot of people attack otherwise. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.760 And I think that's why the piece with the crack 0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:20.760 pipes it was it was just a straight up attack, 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.960 you know, not for good reasons. So what's the COVID 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.520 nineteen task force? What is that task for us? Because 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.880 it seems like you know, we've been we say one thing, 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:31.320 and we bring it back. Then we say another thing 0:14:31.360 --> 0:14:32.800 that we say, ohs, we were wrong, then we say 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:34.720 something that it changes so much. So what is the 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:37.840 COVID nineteen task for us? What is it supposed to do? Yeah, 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:39.960 so on the in the White House COVID Response Team, 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:43.200 it's really kind of the core entity coordinating across government. 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:45.320 So you know, um, there are a couple of different 0:14:45.320 --> 0:14:47.440 pieces and when you mentioned task force, there there was 0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.520 a Health Equity Task Force specifically on the way that 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:54.000 the President initiated and doctor Marcella Una Smith was leading that. 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.520 So their role over the course of twenty twenty one 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.200 was to convene experts, work with communities, really identify what 0:15:00.400 --> 0:15:03.360 is going to help us to really accomplish this goal 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.600 of health equity, health equity specifically within the context of 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.040 the pandemic. And so they issued their final report in November. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.080 So that was the health equity task for us. The 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.320 COVID Response Team is more so just the quarterback of 0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.840 the effort. So we work with CDC, we work with 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.640 you know, all the different pieces of HHS. We work 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.760 with other components of the White House and other agencies 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:23.560 to say what is it that we can do that 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.600 we can leverage from your agency, your office to help 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.840 advance the goals of really eliminating our addressing this pandemic. 0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:32.920 Now we see cases dropping all across the country, but 0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:34.680 they say it's still higher than they were at this 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:38.240 time last year. So what is this? Has herd immunity 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:40.040 kicked in though? What is it? Well, you know, I 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.960 think OMICRON was a unique monster, you know, I mean 0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.240 it showed up and we just saw cases spike. And 0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.200 I work clinically in the hospital, so I work as 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.080 an internal medicine doctor, and you know, even on the floor, 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.600 we just started seeing record numbers of patients coming in. 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:55.920 And these were folks who had navigated this pandemic for 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.080 a year and a half and then all of a 0:15:57.120 --> 0:15:59.560 sudden coming in sick with COVID. And I think that 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.280 you see the cases spike, you know, I dug into 0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:05.120 the data and they really peaked among you know, black folks, 0:16:05.200 --> 0:16:08.040 eighteen at thirty nine in Southern States. And I think 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:11.680 you see the combination of the lack of mitigation measures 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.760 like masks, like you know, some of the physical distancing 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.600 and avoiding crowded indoor spaces, the impact of the booster effort, 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.480 right because when you're disproportionality with boosters, then you see 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.320 that manifest in the hospitalization race. So the cases were concerning, 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.920 hospitalizations were really concerning. We had four times the hospitalization 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.360 rate in the black community just over the last few weeks. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.320 And so when I hear people saying the pandemic's over, 0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.120 I'm just like, I don't know what pandemic you're watch 0:16:34.200 --> 0:16:36.440 but you know, it's it's hard to you know, all 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:38.480 the stuff that they're talking. But then you see certain 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.120 governors in certain states and they're taking the mass mandates off, 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.280 and you know, even the airports when you're flying. At 0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:45.840 one time, you know, there was a middle, there was 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.720 a seat between everybody for social distancing. Now they're cramming 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.920 people in, like Saldines like, so what do what should 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.760 people believe? Because they change things so much. They do 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:57.240 in a couple of things. Whereas people say, you know, 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:00.240 they change recommendations a lot, and that's true, just the 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.080 same way the weather man changes the recommendations of what 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.080 you should wear in December verses June. Right, I think 0:17:04.119 --> 0:17:07.080 the environment changes and that's why recommendations change along with it. 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.080 But that being said, you know, I don't want to 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.240 lean into like false equivalency. You say, this is what's 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:14.800 happening in hospitals, therefore what's happening in communities. You know. 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:16.920 I'll give the example from my own family. I have 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:19.760 two kids, one six, one is ten. Right for my 0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.600 two kids, even if the governor in Virginia is saying, oh, 0:17:22.720 --> 0:17:24.400 kids don't need to wear masks, my kids are gonna 0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.800 be wearing masks. And the reason isn't just that it's 0:17:26.800 --> 0:17:28.800 going to protect their health and well being. It's that 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.640 my wife's an emergency dot with the work she does 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:33.639 and the work that I do, we can't afford for 0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.840 our kids to be out of school for five to 0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.440 ten days because they caught COVID, right, So we're gonna 0:17:38.440 --> 0:17:40.600 do everything we can to protect them. And I think 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:42.760 for people who can't afford to miss work for a 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.000 week and a half, keep your kids protected, right like 0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.760 this is these are mitigation strategies that are rooted in 0:17:47.840 --> 0:17:50.080 public health. That just makes sense. And so while some 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.040 governors are relaxing these mandates, the thing I keep reminding 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.480 people is that nobody's saying you cannot wear masks. What 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.440 they're saying is that they're not mandating masks in or spaces. 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.119 But like Floyd Mayweather said, protect yourself at all times, right, 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:03.000 Like you really have to have that mentality in this work. 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:05.520 All Right. We had more with doctor Cameron Webb coming 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:13.360 up on the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club, Breakfast Club, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.280 and we are sitting here with doctor Cameron Webb, DJ Envy. 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:19.000 What's your thoughts on mandating the vaccine? You know, some 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.560 people if they don't have the vaccine, their jobs are firing. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:23.359 And what's your thoughts on that? Well, you know, I 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.919 think if you look back at work requirements for instance, 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:27.920 you know, we put those in place last summer, and 0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.320 and my first thought on it is I was like, well, 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:32.640 there's a lot of reason. Sometimes it's rooted in people's confidence. 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:34.240 We have to do the hard work of really talking 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.439 to folks. We had ninety million people who weren't vaccine 0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:38.920 at that point in time. You fast forward six months, 0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:41.320 seven months, and we're down at thirty million. Sixty million 0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:43.760 people were vaccinated in that time just from those requirements, 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:46.760 and then omicron hit, right, And when Omicron hit, we 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:49.560 had far fewer hospitalizations in depth than we would have 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.960 had but for those vaccinations. You know, you look at 0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:54.280 things like the flu. We have about fifty percent of 0:18:54.320 --> 0:18:57.440 people nationwide who get the flu vaccine. It's not mandating 0:18:57.640 --> 0:18:59.760 forty percent of black folks. But you look at COVID, 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:03.000 eighty four percent of black people have gotten a COVID vaccine, 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:05.200 and so you know, and as eighty five percent of 0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:07.879 white people, eighty six percent of Latin individuals. So this 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.240 is unprecedented levels not only a vaccination rates, but of 0:19:11.400 --> 0:19:13.639 equity in terms of those vaccination rates. And I look 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:15.720 at that and I say, it's not just numbers. Those 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:17.800 are lives saved. Those are people who aren't in my hospital. 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.160 So so you know, as a as a physician, I'll 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:23.320 tell you I'm glad more people are protected than I 0:19:23.440 --> 0:19:25.520 would have been the case. I think that, you know, 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:27.880 the Supreme Court made the decision they made on work requirements, 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:29.399 but I think that at the end of the day, 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:32.040 these requirements have saved lives and they work. And for 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.520 people who get protected, you know that that benefit of 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:37.280 cruise over time they had that immunologic protection. They care 0:19:37.400 --> 0:19:39.960 with them every single day. What your thoughts on kids 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.719 getting the vaccination? You know, I got six, so at 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:44.879 first I was a little scared, a little nervous because 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:46.920 you know, I just felt like it wasn't tested enough 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:49.840 for children. I did get it for my older kids, 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.560 but you know, it was still a little nerve wracking. Yeah. Well, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:54.560 so I mentioned I have a six year old and 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.359 a ten year old, and I remember when my daughter 0:19:56.680 --> 0:19:59.600 Avery was born. I'm a whole doctor, right, And I 0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:01.360 remember first time they showed up to put a shot 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.320 in her arm. I was like, hold, oh wait, you know, 0:20:03.520 --> 0:20:05.920 like she's she's straight from God, Like, you know, this 0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:08.200 child hadn't been touched by anything. Now you're starting to 0:20:08.240 --> 0:20:10.399 put shot. But again, I had to remind myself, this 0:20:10.560 --> 0:20:12.240 is part of my being a good parent. It's making 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:14.240 sure we're using all the tools we have of today 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:16.320 to protect her from the worst of what can happen. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.520 You know, those same two kids, they got vaccinated as 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.280 soon as possible from COVID, And in large part it 0:20:22.440 --> 0:20:24.399 was because for my wife and I, we work on 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.600 the front lines in the hospital. We were always worried 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:29.960 about bringing something home to those kids, you know, And 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.119 so I think that you know, from our perspective, there 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.159 there was a process that led us to that decision. 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:36.879 We don't just follow go with the flow. We said, well, 0:20:36.960 --> 0:20:39.360 where's the data, And if you dig into the data, 0:20:40.000 --> 0:20:42.679 the data on kids five to eleven was fantastic. Remember 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.359 that the dose for adults for fires or for instance, 0:20:45.480 --> 0:20:48.040 was thirty micrograms. For kids it was ten micrograms. It's 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.600 one third of the dose reduced the side effects significantly. 0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:52.880 And in the side effects, I'm talking about headaches, I'm 0:20:52.880 --> 0:20:55.240 talking about muscle pain and stuff like that. My kids 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:56.960 didn't have any of that when they got vaccinated. But 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.359 even a step farther you realize that it's really effective 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.080 because kids have a really robust immune system. So not 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:06.040 only was it you know, safer from a side effects standpoint, 0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:09.399 but it was just as as good the immunogenicity of 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.399 of promoting a good immunologic response. And so from that, 0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:13.760 I'm like, my kids are getting the best of two 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.440 worlds here. And what's crazy is that, you know, when 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.280 omicron hit and kids all across their school are getting COVID, 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.399 my kids were fine through it, right because they wear masks, 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.719 because they were vaccinated. That's those are layers of protection 0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.200 that were grateful for. Well, even that information was kind 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:28.919 of confusing because I remember when they was telling us, 0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.479 you know, COVID doesn't affect kids at all. And then 0:21:31.520 --> 0:21:33.320 it was just like just all of a sudden one 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:34.240 day it was like, you gotta go out there and 0:21:34.240 --> 0:21:37.040 get your kids vaccinated. Yeah, you gotta. What I always 0:21:37.080 --> 0:21:39.760 tell people is, um, you know, don't you gotta. You 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.760 gotta listen to the messenger, Right, don't let people tell 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:43.920 tell the story because I they say it's not affecting kids. Sure, 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:45.879 it was affecting black kids. You know, you look at 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:47.760 the rate of deaths. There were more deaths and black 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:50.359 children than they were white children, several times more. Right, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.120 COVID wasn't the top ten causes of death for kids 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:56.200 before the vaccines came out. So people will create a 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:59.520 narrative just to further their their point. But the truth 0:21:59.560 --> 0:22:01.720 of the matter, COVID has affected kids this entire time, 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:06.879 and not only just that. No, it's it's context, right, 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:08.840 It's not these aren't lies. Like the context is that 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:11.639 people say, are we seeing kids in ICUs to the 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.200 same rate that we're seeing seventy five year olds? No? Right, 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:15.840 But I think for a lot of like people like 0:22:16.000 --> 0:22:18.760 to boil things down into really simple terms. This really 0:22:18.800 --> 0:22:22.520 complex concepts, right, But there are a few things So today, 0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:24.920 if you ask me what's the risk of of COVID 0:22:25.040 --> 0:22:27.560 nineteen versus the flu and kids, I would say, in 0:22:27.680 --> 0:22:30.840 terms of severe illness the relatively similar. But in terms 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:33.080 of long COVID I don't know. And one thing I 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.040 want to protect my kids from are the lingering and 0:22:35.119 --> 0:22:37.239 long term effects of COVID, right, So, so those are 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.840 things where it's like. And also remember data continues to evolve. 0:22:40.880 --> 0:22:43.280 We continue to get new information as this pandemic goes on. 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.639 So the information that Vauci had back in March of 0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:49.760 twenty twenty versus March twenty one versus next month in 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.960 March of twenty two completely differently. You're saying that in 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:55.520 March twenty twenty, the information he dispensed could have been 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.560 considered misinformation. Now I think it would be considered information 0:22:59.680 --> 0:23:02.320 that has that has been updated, right, Because if in 0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.800 March twenty twenty we had just started to see cases, 0:23:05.040 --> 0:23:07.200 by twenty one, we had seen cases, but we hadn't 0:23:07.200 --> 0:23:08.879 seen what vaccines we're going to be able to do, 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:12.040 and we hadn't seen some of these some of these variants. 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:14.119 And now in March of twenty two, we've seen variants, 0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.240 We've seen two years worth of effects of it, because 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.120 but there's just way more information. And I think that's 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:20.240 that's the thing. People. There's not a lot of grace 0:23:20.280 --> 0:23:22.080 in our society for that, you know, But I think 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.520 that if you're a scientist, when the way you look 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.119 at this, you're like, of course we're gonna learn stuff 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:27.840 over time. Of Course we're gonna get new data. Of 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:29.879 course there's gonna be new articles. Of course that's going 0:23:29.960 --> 0:23:32.720 to update the way we treat people. That's that's science, ye, 0:23:32.960 --> 0:23:34.359 I mean said I mean at one point five you 0:23:34.359 --> 0:23:36.000 said don't wear a mask. He said mask only for 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.879 health professional. And I think people see that and you 0:23:38.960 --> 0:23:40.800 know what you're what you're speaking to is kind of 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:43.560 how that undermines some confidence, right for everybody who's keeping 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:45.560 track and has a list of you said this this 0:23:45.760 --> 0:23:47.840 day and then that change. You know, they're just like, 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:49.440 I don't know if I can trust you. It's funny. 0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:51.960 I did some focus groups working with the Department Health 0:23:51.960 --> 0:23:54.960 and Human Services on unvaccinated young black people. I was like, 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:56.920 what are your reasons? What are you concerned about it? 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.200 And they're like, well, people keep saying different things. I 0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:01.080 don't feel like I can trust government. I don't feel 0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:03.480 like I can trust any politicians, and we're like, well, 0:24:03.480 --> 0:24:06.000 who do you feel like you can trust? People? Saying nobody, 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:10.359 that's really and it's just like that's that's that's so disappointing, 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:12.119 you know, and it's it is real. But at the 0:24:12.160 --> 0:24:15.120 same time, you know, I think about the work I've 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:17.240 done a community long before I was in government, and 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:19.800 the way that community members look to me then and 0:24:19.960 --> 0:24:22.040 continue to look to providers in their own community. They'll 0:24:22.080 --> 0:24:24.480 say they don't trust anybody, but they'll know the local doctor, 0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:26.560 the person who's like in the neighborhood. They'll be like, 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.480 let me call up so and so and find out 0:24:28.520 --> 0:24:30.680 what's real. Right. We still have that dynamic. We know 0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:33.159 the local trusted messengers make the difference. But I think 0:24:33.200 --> 0:24:36.120 that's what happens when you're communicating like nationally, for something 0:24:36.160 --> 0:24:39.680 that's very local, very individual, not everything applies to one person. 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.280 All right. We had more with doctor Carmon Webb coming 0:24:42.359 --> 0:24:45.760 up on The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club, Your mornings 0:24:45.760 --> 0:24:50.240 will never be the same. Dinight gets to highly anticipate 0:24:50.320 --> 0:24:54.280 in new CW series All American Homecoming, Rising Tennant stalls 0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.680 simonehis takes the next step by leaving the man she 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.760 loves to begin her new life at Bringston University, where 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:02.520 excellence is a way of life. There, she meets up 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.480 with the elite baseball player from Chicago, Damon Sims. He 0:25:05.600 --> 0:25:07.359 turned down a career in pro baseball and helped the 0:25:07.520 --> 0:25:10.679 HBCU battle It's way back to greatness.

It's the 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:18.960 dract this club and we are sitting here with doctor 0:25:19.040 --> 0:25:21.520 Cameron Webb. It's DJ. I was gonna ask, you know, 0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.600 we talk about the healthcare workers and when COVID first happened, 0:25:24.600 --> 0:25:26.200 the pandemic first happened, a lot of them were on 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:28.760 the front lines. There was no vaccine and a lot 0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:30.320 of them died, a lot of them lost their life, 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:31.600 a lot of them went in the work and not 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:34.239 knowing what's gonna happen. Now fast forward a little bit. 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:36.120 Now they're saying if a lot of them don't get 0:25:36.200 --> 0:25:39.240 their vaccination, they're gonna be fired. What do you say 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:41.040 to that? Because they put their lives on the line 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.200 when there was no vac I am them, you're talking 0:25:43.240 --> 0:25:46.120 about talking about me. But then some of them people 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:47.760 didn't and they don't believe in it, they don't want to. 0:25:48.119 --> 0:25:49.840 But now we just fired them and just throw them away. 0:25:49.960 --> 0:25:52.800 But before they were beyond them. We love them. They 0:25:52.880 --> 0:25:55.399 were heroes and that was like, oh, you're gone, and 0:25:55.520 --> 0:25:58.119 see it. And again, let's let's tell the facts, right, 0:25:58.200 --> 0:26:00.280 because people will try to tell you a story. Over 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.680 ninety eight percent of healthcare workers have vaccinated. Right, It's 0:26:03.200 --> 0:26:05.520 a great majority of healthcare workers of vaccinated. And this 0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:08.399 isn't new to us. Every single year they make me 0:26:08.480 --> 0:26:10.200 get what my flu shot? If I don't have my 0:26:10.280 --> 0:26:12.439 flu shot, I got to talk to somebody. That's a problem. 0:26:12.720 --> 0:26:15.760 Every time the flu shot has been tested, it's been tried, 0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:21.240 it's yearly, fully FDA approved. This COVID vaccine is fully approved. 0:26:21.359 --> 0:26:23.159 Right And if you so, if you ask me that 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:26.000 question January of last year, and you're like, oh, these 0:26:26.000 --> 0:26:28.520 are new vaccines, I'd give you that. I'd grant you that. Right. 0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:30.640 We're talking about a vaccine that passed the same gold 0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:33.840 standard as the diabetes medicine you use, the asthma medicine 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:35.520 you use. You don't think twice before you take a 0:26:35.840 --> 0:26:38.000 puff of that albut role. But this is a vaccine 0:26:38.040 --> 0:26:40.960 that has passed that rigorous evaluation process, right, And so 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:42.800 I think for a lot of people, it's not because 0:26:42.960 --> 0:26:45.520 the data on the vaccines themselves is a little shaky. 0:26:45.840 --> 0:26:47.960 It's because of this narrative that's been weaved for the 0:26:48.040 --> 0:26:50.359 last year and a half that just undermines a lot 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.240 of public confidence. We have those conversations. I think at 0:26:53.280 --> 0:26:54.679 the end of the day, there are people who are 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:56.480 always going to make decisions that they think is in 0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.760 their best interest, and if that impacts their employment, that's 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:01.680 the decision to make, right. But at the end of 0:27:01.720 --> 0:27:04.160 the day, as a healthcare worker, I know that it's 0:27:04.200 --> 0:27:07.520 not mine. I don't have the right to bring illness 0:27:07.600 --> 0:27:09.560 in when people are sick. Right, the patients I was 0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:12.240 taking care of over the weekend, those individuals who were 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.720 already sick, I can't bring COVID to them. My coworkers 0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:17.880 who are working their butts off for the last two years, 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:20.240 I can't get them sick with COVID after they've been 0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:22.040 doing everything to protect themselves, just because they're in the 0:27:22.480 --> 0:27:24.800 physicians lines with me and I happen to have COVID, right, 0:27:24.840 --> 0:27:27.320 so we have to create safe environments and healthcare spaces. 0:27:27.720 --> 0:27:30.400 That's not new to COVID. That's something we've always held. 0:27:30.720 --> 0:27:33.639 People politicize it more. It's more charged than COVID. And 0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:36.600 you've got three hundred thirty million people who were talking 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:39.080 about intervening all right now in this moment. Whereas for 0:27:39.200 --> 0:27:41.640 some other things. If it's your measles, most of rubella vaccine, 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.000 everybody got that when they got it. Tetness, they got 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:45.760 that when they got it. Right, this is all at once, 0:27:45.800 --> 0:27:50.360 and that's what creates this kind of frenzy, all at once. 0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:52.679 What do you say to people who feel like, oh, well, 0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:54.520 you know there's people out there getting the vaccine, but 0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.080 they're still catching COVID and they're still getting sick and 0:27:57.119 --> 0:27:59.520 you can still pass you know, the vaccine, which was 0:27:59.560 --> 0:28:02.200 another thing that you could say was misinformation because people 0:28:02.200 --> 0:28:04.240 told us that couldn't happen. It's heartbreaking, and you know, 0:28:04.320 --> 0:28:06.840 I think that that's one of the things that is 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:09.840 so frustrated to me because on the front end, you know, 0:28:09.920 --> 0:28:11.560 I was one of those hopeful people right when I 0:28:11.560 --> 0:28:15.440 got vaccining on December seventeenth of twenty and twenty. I 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.800 was hopeful that this was going to prevent me from 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:21.399 getting COVID, you know, forevermore Right, that's just not what 0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:24.560 the data ended up bearing out. What the studies did 0:28:24.640 --> 0:28:27.080 for that vaccine is they said, I'm much less likely 0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:29.920 to be hospitalized or die from COVID. But we said, 0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.639 but I'm also less likely to transmit it or to 0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:35.960 get COVID as well. Ultimately, I think a couple of 0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:37.760 things blew the lid off that you look at omicron, 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:41.080 so many people were getting COVID. Again, I'm always reminded 0:28:41.360 --> 0:28:43.120 how many people would have died from COVID if it 0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.920 weren't for vaccines, or you know, the primary endpoint of 0:28:45.960 --> 0:28:48.120 those studies was looking at death in hospitalization. We still 0:28:48.160 --> 0:28:50.800 saw a lot of hospitalization, but those hospitalizations would have 0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:53.840 been deaths, right, Those cases would have been hospitalizations. The 0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.680 benefit of the vaccines has it limited the severity of 0:28:56.720 --> 0:28:59.080 the illness. And that's just part of it, right, I think, 0:28:59.240 --> 0:29:02.320 you know, I look at other pieces. You know, there 0:29:02.320 --> 0:29:04.400 are conversations that we have because we feel like, oh, 0:29:04.440 --> 0:29:07.000 we're all we're all healthy and well, there are people 0:29:07.080 --> 0:29:09.600 walking around who look just like you and me, who 0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:12.160 are living there everyday lives, but they also are immune compromise. 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:14.920 They're also dealing with a new cancer diagnosis. Part of 0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.640 our obligation, our responsibilities to keep in mind there are 0:29:17.640 --> 0:29:21.000 folks who don't have the benefit of all the opportunities 0:29:21.000 --> 0:29:22.480 we have to work from home, who don't have the 0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.520 benefit of some of the different medications or the you 0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.120 know and whatnot. And for them, this idea of vaccines, 0:29:28.200 --> 0:29:30.200 it's truly life saving for them. And if as a 0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:32.760 society we're not taking care of, or thinking about, or 0:29:32.840 --> 0:29:36.440 prioritizing the ability to keep society saved, that's a problem, right, 0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:38.520 and especially in the black community. Right, fourteen percent of 0:29:38.640 --> 0:29:41.160 us are disabled. In the black community, we carry more 0:29:41.240 --> 0:29:44.480 chronic medical conditions. So when we see even vaccinated folks 0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:47.120 now who are being hospitalized. You know over the age 0:29:47.160 --> 0:29:50.200 of sixty five, the Black individuals over sixty five carry 0:29:50.240 --> 0:29:53.200 more chronic illness into that. And what's your thoughts on 0:29:53.240 --> 0:29:54.480 the COVID pill. I know, we know we how to 0:29:54.480 --> 0:29:56.960 go the COVID pill, the new poil. They're saying, what's 0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:59.200 your thoughts on that? Well, you know, we're in New York. 0:29:59.280 --> 0:30:01.560 It's a different station here. I think it is ninety 0:30:01.560 --> 0:30:04.640 percent reduction in hospitalization and mortality, So it's really beneficial. 0:30:04.680 --> 0:30:06.320 So what is the COVID pill for people that don't know. 0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:08.320 So there are two of them right now, one called 0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:11.000 Monoperevier from Murk, one called packs of It from Visor. 0:30:11.320 --> 0:30:13.560 The packs of It we so as a government, we 0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.600 got twenty million doses of that, right so that was 0:30:16.800 --> 0:30:18.400 a big deal. What it does is it makes it 0:30:18.640 --> 0:30:21.040 so you take that pill within five days of getting 0:30:21.040 --> 0:30:23.960 a COVID diagnosis, it decreases you're likely at a hospitalization 0:30:24.000 --> 0:30:25.680 in death. Now the people who should take it are 0:30:25.720 --> 0:30:28.000 folks who are at risk for severe disease, so have 0:30:28.120 --> 0:30:30.440 different chronic conditions, things that put them at increased risk. 0:30:31.160 --> 0:30:32.760 You know. One of the big things is making sure 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.120 that right now, it takes a while to make those drugs. 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.520 This strugg didn't even exist, wasn't even dreamed up this 0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:40.640 time last year. So the Visor is actively making these pills, 0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:42.400 but in the meantime we have very few of them. 0:30:42.640 --> 0:30:44.400 So what New York has done is they said we're 0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:46.440 going to prioritize the risk factors that put people a 0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:49.240 great risk for severe COVID. One of them being raised 0:30:49.240 --> 0:30:52.040 in the city right and that's created a store because 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.360 everything's politicized because people take that and they say, oh, 0:30:54.400 --> 0:30:56.880 now you're discriminating against white people. Knows, anybody who has 0:30:56.880 --> 0:30:58.960 a risk factor that puts them at severe risk, at 0:30:59.040 --> 0:31:01.720 risk for severe COVID should have access to these medications. 0:31:01.880 --> 0:31:03.840 They can save their lives, keep them out of the hospital. 0:31:03.920 --> 0:31:05.760 So so I think that this has the potential to 0:31:05.840 --> 0:31:08.800 be huge because then what we focus on is getting 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:10.800 people tested, and that's why we have COVID test stock 0:31:10.840 --> 0:31:12.560 Gov and we're getting tests out to people. That's why 0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:15.680 private insurance is requiring tests, Medicare is getting tested people, 0:31:15.720 --> 0:31:18.200 Medicaid is getting tested people, making sure people can know 0:31:18.280 --> 0:31:20.480 whether or not they have COVID and go from there 0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:22.800 and get the treatments in Do you, um, well, I 0:31:22.880 --> 0:31:25.040 know you gotta go with you. Do you think there's power? 0:31:25.120 --> 0:31:28.280 And just simply saying I don't know absolutely? You know 0:31:28.320 --> 0:31:30.280 if you if you've been a physician for any period 0:31:30.360 --> 0:31:34.040 of time, that's critical. You know, my barbershop in Charlottesville 0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.400 is called the Barber's then, and every time I go there, 0:31:36.640 --> 0:31:37.880 like sit down in the chair. You know how the 0:31:37.920 --> 0:31:40.160 barbershop is, They're just like cam I got a question 0:31:40.240 --> 0:31:42.560 and people just start, you know, rapid firing around the shop. 0:31:42.880 --> 0:31:45.240 And what's interesting is so often I'm just like, I 0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.680 don't know the answer to that. Right. That inspires confidence 0:31:47.840 --> 0:31:50.120 because then they know that what I'm saying, if I 0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:52.840 tell them something that's factual, they're just like, I trust 0:31:52.960 --> 0:31:54.560 him because when he doesn't know, he says, I don't know. 0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:56.680 That's something you have to learn to do. Some people 0:31:56.680 --> 0:31:58.760 aren't comfortable doing it, but I think that at the 0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:02.840 end of the day, that's it's for encouraging inspiring confidence 0:32:02.920 --> 0:32:05.520 for people, especially in this era of you know, there's 0:32:05.520 --> 0:32:07.520 always a camera in your face, you know what I mean, 0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:09.240 Like if you're putting somebody on TV every day, they 0:32:09.280 --> 0:32:11.920 gotta say something. So sometimes I can say I don't know, 0:32:12.000 --> 0:32:14.680 that's right, that's right, or doctor camera where we appreciate 0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:16.920 you for joining us and thank you for spitting some 0:32:17.040 --> 0:32:20.360 facts for sure, Come up anytime, man, We'll do all right. 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:26.960 It's a breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. 0:32:27.040 --> 0:32:31.120 Everybody's DJ Envy, Angela Yee Sharlamage and the guy. We 0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.880 are to Breakfast Club. We got a special guest. Yes, indeed, 0:32:34.000 --> 0:32:35.760 she tried to come a couple of months ago, but 0:32:35.880 --> 0:32:38.960 her security tested positive for COVID. Can't you believe it? 0:32:39.200 --> 0:32:42.680 I can't believe it. Who don't test positive for cod Wow? 0:32:43.320 --> 0:32:45.760 You didn't test positive? Did And then a couple of 0:32:45.800 --> 0:32:47.920 days later you did? Yes, I did? Oh my godness, 0:32:47.920 --> 0:32:52.040 but you're back. Yeah, COVID free. Absolutely, no, thank you, 0:32:52.640 --> 0:32:58.760 thank you, thank you for well. Actually this coat came 0:32:58.840 --> 0:33:02.560 from the set of Ghost Book Too Power when I 0:33:02.680 --> 0:33:07.240 shot and um, I think Mary, I mean no, it 0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:11.080 was a gift. And no, I didn't really did answer 0:33:11.120 --> 0:33:13.600 this one. But I do see a wardrobe but this 0:33:13.880 --> 0:33:16.520 wasn't from Power. I think that Mary was supposed to 0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:18.880 wear it and she didn't. And they fit me and 0:33:18.960 --> 0:33:20.480 I asked for it and a girl like me, and 0:33:20.560 --> 0:33:23.520 so I got it. Really, don't mean my power people 0:33:23.680 --> 0:33:27.680 at the wardrobe people not they'll be asking for it. Jadabits, 0:33:28.280 --> 0:33:32.520 don't fitty somebody? Now, well, yes it is. Now. First 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:37.480 of all, I've been really actually very good. I'm healthy, okay, 0:33:37.720 --> 0:33:43.360 most important, Yeah, and I'm working and I'm in demand. 0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:49.560 And my family, you know, there's always challenges in the family, 0:33:50.200 --> 0:33:52.640 you know, a little health scares from folks over here 0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:54.280 and a little you know, it's a lot of that 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:57.480 going around with everybody. But other than that, I can't 0:33:57.480 --> 0:34:00.200 I really can't complain how the concert has been because 0:34:00.240 --> 0:34:01.560 I know a lot of comedians are saying that some 0:34:01.640 --> 0:34:03.920 of the shows haven't been asked pack because some of 0:34:04.000 --> 0:34:06.840 the venues are making people wear masks or have to 0:34:06.880 --> 0:34:08.719 be vaccinated. So a lot of people that they said 0:34:08.719 --> 0:34:10.560 it wasn't like before. So how was it? Were you 0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:12.680 going out back there on the road. We haven't had 0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:17.480 a problem like that, you did, Cat Williams, lou Now Curry. 0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:24.239 They don't allow you know, packed houses and they made 0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:30.239 people we mask. Well, whatever they're doing, our audience is 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.720 doing it and doing it well. I love the community 0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.040 that you know, you and Kat and Red Yell always 0:34:37.040 --> 0:34:40.360 go on tour together. Well, we were on tour together 0:34:40.480 --> 0:34:44.399 fifteen years ago on his first tour, right when people 0:34:44.440 --> 0:34:47.880 were starting to transition him from Money Mike into the 0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:51.399 Kat Williams, you know. And for us to be back 0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:54.920 on tour together again fifteen years later, I don't even 0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:57.880 know that I've heard of anybody doing that. Wow, you know. 0:34:58.040 --> 0:35:01.239 And then there's an Oakland connect action with all this, 0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.520 because Mark Curry is from Oakland, like as is Laura 0:35:04.600 --> 0:35:08.640 Hayes and Paul Mooney. I'm from Oakland. I met Red 0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.640 in Oakland and I met Kat in Oakland. Wow, so 0:35:11.800 --> 0:35:13.640 we are And me and Cat been knowing each other 0:35:13.760 --> 0:35:18.319 since we have a kid the same age, and uh, 0:35:18.760 --> 0:35:23.080 he's been done me since my daughter's probably four. Wow. Wow. 0:35:23.480 --> 0:35:26.960 I saw you on the Amazon Doctor fat TUZI. Yeah, 0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.239 the era of hip hop comedy, and he talked about her. 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:31.760 You know, Black comedians had to form their own community, 0:35:32.040 --> 0:35:34.320 you know, when Hollywood wasn't given them a look. What 0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:36.840 was what was that experience like in that era? I 0:35:37.000 --> 0:35:40.680 think that was really empowering because we were not city 0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:44.279 waiting for them. They weren't coming where we were. We 0:35:44.480 --> 0:35:47.279 did our own thing and then they came there and 0:35:48.280 --> 0:35:50.920 we were doing it whether they came or not. You know, 0:35:51.520 --> 0:35:53.560 we were doing it far as So this is comedy 0:35:53.600 --> 0:35:56.600 with no money. Don't forget. There's no such thing as 0:35:56.680 --> 0:36:00.279 money in comedy at our level. We'd looked up to 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:02.759 the Eddies and stuff like that, but there was no 0:36:02.960 --> 0:36:05.880 you know, Guy was coming up, Joe was coming up, 0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:08.960 Jamie was coming up, DL was coming up. We was 0:36:09.040 --> 0:36:12.080 all coming up to this like era. I've never been 0:36:12.160 --> 0:36:15.000 part of an era before, I mean the sexual seventies. 0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:19.240 Of course I was there, but I'm talking about, you know, professionally, 0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:22.920 and it was really exciting because the hustle was a 0:36:23.040 --> 0:36:26.160 different type of heat. You know, we didn't have social media. 0:36:26.440 --> 0:36:28.560 To social media was you need to see that money 0:36:29.760 --> 0:36:33.080 and that was it. If somebody told you, then you 0:36:33.160 --> 0:36:36.120 go see them and to see a word of mouth 0:36:36.400 --> 0:36:38.960 builds like that. It's like watching the wave at a 0:36:39.040 --> 0:36:40.920 baseball game. You know. I was gonna ask, you know, 0:36:41.040 --> 0:36:44.000 you you speak with whatever, whatever's on your mind, and 0:36:44.000 --> 0:36:46.319 you come from an eraware comedian sport what's on their mind? 0:36:46.440 --> 0:36:48.399 Or you ever nervous about cancel culture? Do you watch 0:36:48.440 --> 0:36:51.439 what you see now at all? I would be lying 0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:56.040 if I said I didn't. I don't want to sound hockey, 0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.759 but I really sort of can't be canceled because too 0:36:59.800 --> 0:37:02.399 many people love me. I would have to, like Melissa Child, 0:37:02.719 --> 0:37:06.919 let's do something really hideous to lose all my fans. 0:37:07.000 --> 0:37:09.440 I got fans from where I used to live, and 0:37:09.560 --> 0:37:11.960 I got fans from when I used to be girls 0:37:12.040 --> 0:37:14.200 got leaders, and I got fans. It's gonna ride with me. 0:37:14.320 --> 0:37:18.000 Whatever they say. I've been drug you know. I've been 0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:21.879 drug in social media before, and I find that, first 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:23.919 of all, you can't be cyber bullied if you don't 0:37:23.960 --> 0:37:29.720 read the right for two days. That usually all scandals 0:37:29.800 --> 0:37:31.520 only last for the eight hours or something. To the 0:37:31.600 --> 0:37:34.359 naxt scandal, you know, you gotta go on, it's gonna end. 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:36.120 It's silly to me, though, because I feel like man 0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:39.840 comedians have a different license than everybody else. Always have, 0:37:40.560 --> 0:37:42.600 you know, and always should have that. So it's just 0:37:42.680 --> 0:37:45.560 weird to me when people get mad about things comedians. Well, 0:37:45.640 --> 0:37:49.080 first of all, when I say I do think about something, 0:37:49.760 --> 0:37:52.480 I do think about them, and then I usually go 0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:54.480 ahead and do whatever the I was gonna do anyway, 0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:56.680 because when people who come to see me, they came 0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:59.440 to see me, they want to know my perspective. They 0:37:59.480 --> 0:38:02.000 didn't just I don't. I get new fans every day, 0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:04.320 but they're pale in comparison to the people that have 0:38:04.400 --> 0:38:06.759 been riding with me for the whole thirty years. I 0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:10.040 was gonna ask, are you familiar with the metaverse? You know, 0:38:10.480 --> 0:38:15.120 I smoke weed, and so that's the only verse that 0:38:15.320 --> 0:38:18.839 I know about. I don't really with the metaverse place 0:38:19.040 --> 0:38:24.000 right exactly, Hollywood, but they possibly could start charging people 0:38:24.239 --> 0:38:26.040 like if you harass somebody in the middle verse, like 0:38:26.120 --> 0:38:28.759 if you hey, smack somebody in the ass or your 0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.080 ass look big or something like that, they can possibly 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.879 maybe press charge. Okay, I think I think that's good 0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:38.400 because but it's fake. We have enough perfect that fake. Listen, 0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:42.840 that metaverse and this universe is all fake. So you 0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:47.880 know the point, uh, I think that we do have 0:38:47.960 --> 0:38:52.240 to get a grip on all these pedophiles and traffickers 0:38:52.320 --> 0:38:54.520 and nasty mother.

I'm all right, how's your husband doing? 0:39:37.360 --> 0:39:40.920 He's really sick, you know, really yeah, So you know, 0:39:41.080 --> 0:39:44.720 having a sick mate teaches you what the real vows 0:39:44.760 --> 0:39:48.840 are about that better worst rich report sickness now. And 0:39:49.239 --> 0:39:52.200 so I'm a woman out here where a husband can 0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:55.920 travel with me no more. And that took a lot 0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:58.000 out of our relationship because he used to ride with 0:39:58.120 --> 0:40:01.959 me and ride for me. But you know, I'm still there. 0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:05.480 We see each other when we can. You know, I'm trying. 0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.800 He can't be at my house because I'm going or 0:40:07.880 --> 0:40:09.839 if I'm having to him. So he says, with his daughter, 0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:12.960 and I love my daughter in law, and so you know, 0:40:13.040 --> 0:40:14.799 it's all cool. I just don't get to see him 0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:19.080 that often. I would love to say that I'm out 0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:22.040 here trolling and recruiting, but that wouldn't be right to 0:40:22.120 --> 0:40:25.279 say on television work. No, it would not have a 0:40:28.080 --> 0:40:30.239 You're gonna get better? Is it's something that's gonna He's gonna? 0:40:30.320 --> 0:40:32.640 I don't think so, No, man, are you seeing like that? 0:40:32.920 --> 0:40:36.359 First of all, he has a heart monitor.

They took the pictures down, not 0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:17.319 for I don't know why I put the fistures down, 0:46:17.480 --> 0:46:21.640 because if anybody read anything, that was the compilation of 0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:26.440 pictures which had already been posted, but not in a 0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.440 compilation like that, had already been on the net for 0:46:29.600 --> 0:46:32.560 like a year, and it was the beginning of the year, 0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:35.920 and I was trying to pay allmags to people who 0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:40.080 really made an impact on my life that year. One 0:46:40.160 --> 0:46:43.440 of those people was in Rihanna. I met her a 0:46:44.040 --> 0:46:47.120 friend of GOT, a mutual friend of facetimed me and 0:46:47.280 --> 0:46:50.759 she popped on her and she's a comedy fan apparently 0:46:50.880 --> 0:46:55.320 and fan of mine, and so I said that my 0:46:55.520 --> 0:46:58.200 daughter was a big fan of her lines dre. I said, 0:46:58.200 --> 0:47:00.839 I wish that you made it in large. She said, 0:47:00.840 --> 0:47:03.719 well I do. I said you do, and she said, yeah, 0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:05.839 So I want to be a model. She said, let's 0:47:05.960 --> 0:47:08.480 do it and not a little. And so then a 0:47:08.560 --> 0:47:12.600 couple of days later she DMed me and asked me 0:47:12.760 --> 0:47:15.840 for my email. I was like, oh yeah, and I 0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:18.080 emailed her back, I mean said of my email back, 0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:21.200 And you know, a couple of days later, contracts started 0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:23.279 coming this at that and then you go to a 0:47:23.400 --> 0:47:25.920 catalog and you pick out the lingre you want to model, 0:47:26.239 --> 0:47:27.680 and then they send it to you and then you 0:47:27.760 --> 0:47:30.239 take pictures and you send them back. They approved, but 0:47:30.400 --> 0:47:33.680 I tried to keep it classy because number one I 0:47:33.800 --> 0:47:38.279 had already done a penthouse six pages spread and you 0:47:38.360 --> 0:47:40.360 know I didn't bust it open there. I did that 0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:43.520 real classy. You can go online and find it Luneill 0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:46.799 Penthouse the Mega Long story Short. So what I would 0:47:46.840 --> 0:47:48.680 have to do with Drake the pitches you wanted to 0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:51.920 show off the part of the LINGDREI is cute. It 0:47:52.080 --> 0:47:53.680 was on the ass. You got to show your ass. 0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:55.840 I was on the you know, hearts and nipples whatever. 0:47:56.360 --> 0:47:58.640 Not the only thing that made me a little uncomfortable. 0:47:58.760 --> 0:48:01.800 I got four brothers with then you know, the pervs 0:48:01.840 --> 0:48:04.719 and my family and everybody's family. I don't want to 0:48:04.760 --> 0:48:07.239 like my uncle looking around. But you just have to 0:48:07.280 --> 0:48:09.960 suck it up and take that because you know your neighbor, 0:48:10.120 --> 0:48:13.160 you don't know who's seen it. But also I had 0:48:13.200 --> 0:48:16.320 to take him a consideration. My daughter, you know, like 0:48:16.440 --> 0:48:19.160 she was getting that yo de nail. Your moms like 0:48:19.480 --> 0:48:27.640 yo yo. So you know, a lot came with that. 0:48:28.120 --> 0:48:31.040 But then there was the check. So he did with 0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:34.799 the check. So so you wanted to pay homage to Rihanna. Yeah, 0:48:34.840 --> 0:48:36.719 so I did that and then they took but I 0:48:36.840 --> 0:48:39.560 took some of the five like Hottest Pictures or the 0:48:39.640 --> 0:48:43.560 Channel whatever to swipe this and uh put them all together. 0:48:43.800 --> 0:48:46.920 It was too much blackness for that Instagram and he 0:48:47.000 --> 0:48:50.040 I was shutting him down and then they took it down. 0:48:50.120 --> 0:48:52.560 Then I went on and said, mother, could please, First 0:48:52.560 --> 0:48:54.680 of all, these are approved by Rihanna. These photos are 0:48:54.680 --> 0:48:57.400 approved by him is. I'm advertised for her. This is 0:48:57.400 --> 0:48:59.560 a guy did and they put it back up.

She came 0:50:42.800 --> 0:50:46.400 in there and restructured that host and took ther over 0:50:46.800 --> 0:50:52.000 the Ore show. And here's the other ironic thing. We 0:50:52.120 --> 0:50:54.239 had met and became friends like I've got you know, 0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:57.120 we got out having dinner and stuff like that. I 0:50:57.280 --> 0:51:00.239 know her kids. So on the second season, that would 0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.919 have been after that first season of the new one, 0:51:03.600 --> 0:51:07.200 which was still good. The first episode was good. Whenever 0:51:07.239 --> 0:51:09.760 saw him no more after that because you know what happened. 0:51:10.239 --> 0:51:14.279 But the second season, had it came up, I was 0:51:14.400 --> 0:51:20.080 gonna be her black grandchild's grandmother. J her Son a 0:51:20.160 --> 0:51:23.120 long time ago in the first first season had kissed 0:51:23.160 --> 0:51:25.439 the black girl well, and when they brought it back, 0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:28.160 he married a black girl and they had a child, 0:51:28.400 --> 0:51:30.880 and I was gonna be the kid's grandmother. But you 0:51:30.960 --> 0:51:34.319 know what happened after that. She did bring the show back, 0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:36.759 though they called it something else. She ain't back, and 0:51:37.040 --> 0:51:39.640 I mean there was her, I there, not there. Oh 0:51:39.760 --> 0:51:41.360 got you got you, got you got you. That's a 0:51:41.440 --> 0:51:44.120 good asmall rushmore Man, because I think Paul Mooney is 0:51:44.200 --> 0:51:47.120 very underrated. I don't think they realized how powerful his 0:51:47.280 --> 0:51:50.080 pin was. He's my everything, He's everything, and how a 0:51:50.120 --> 0:51:53.359 lot of Richard material came from exactly and I can't 0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:55.640 pass you know. Of course I wanted to throw in Eddie. 0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:57.879 Of course I wanted to throw my girl homegirl. Lord 0:51:57.920 --> 0:51:59.799 Hay is from Oakland. You know, I want to throw 0:51:59.880 --> 0:52:02.040 in people like that. You said four, that's my four 0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:06.600 and Joan Rivers fantastic worked until the day she dropped. 0:52:06.800 --> 0:52:09.440 She didn't retire. Try to tell people comedians don't retire. 0:52:09.560 --> 0:52:12.080 We died. One of my favorite books is Joan Rivers. 0:52:12.200 --> 0:52:15.840 I hate everybody, including myself Joan was a beast. Beast 0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:18.279 but yo, Phyllis Diller do you know who that is? 0:52:18.960 --> 0:52:22.759 Phillis Diller wrote a crow a cookbook one time, and 0:52:22.880 --> 0:52:25.400 I went and bought it and all empty pages, one 0:52:25.520 --> 0:52:29.000 hundred and twenty five of them, lying empty what that was? 0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:34.359 But mid sold that I bought it. Well, you got 0:52:34.400 --> 0:52:39.760 a little Diller cook but empty. I never met John Rivers. 0:52:40.120 --> 0:52:43.520 I tried very hard. I really really respect you said. 0:52:43.520 --> 0:52:45.040 You grew up in the sexness what it called the 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:50.080 sexual seventies. Party called it the sexual seventies. Was that 0:52:50.160 --> 0:52:53.560 the hippie era? Yeah, I mean that's more sixties. I 0:52:53.640 --> 0:52:57.320 think the seventies was, you know, just people smoking a 0:52:57.400 --> 0:53:00.200 lot of weed. We didn't have the good weed we 0:53:00.280 --> 0:53:03.160 got now, but we did have something called tie stick 0:53:03.239 --> 0:53:07.960 back in the day. What it was sort of brownish, 0:53:08.239 --> 0:53:10.759 not so green, and it used to have like a 0:53:10.840 --> 0:53:13.160 little thread wrapped around it, and I swear to guy, 0:53:13.200 --> 0:53:17.000 it tastes like candy when you're smoking beautiful high. It 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:20.239 was just adorable. Everybody loved it, so you mean it 0:53:20.520 --> 0:53:22.040 so all of us. If you're born in the seventies, 0:53:22.040 --> 0:53:24.960 you probably were products of that sexual seventies. Yeah, there 0:53:25.040 --> 0:53:27.600 was mushrooms. We had a lot of mushrooms, there was. 0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:30.880 I never took a quay loot or anything. I was 0:53:31.040 --> 0:53:34.960 under speed Binny's and your Mom's diet pills and like 0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:41.319 that running track in a performance enhancing drug. And yo, 0:53:41.400 --> 0:53:44.160 I'm pious about that too. But I get the man um, 0:53:44.560 --> 0:53:47.719 you know. And there's the LSD of mescaline that was 0:53:48.239 --> 0:53:52.480 like mascaline. I had used to take this called purple 0:53:52.920 --> 0:53:56.160 purple microdot. You see the inside of this whole. How 0:53:56.239 --> 0:53:59.799 tiny that is. That's how tiny a purple micro dot 0:53:59.880 --> 0:54:03.720 or on sunshine was. You take that, bitch, and honey, 0:54:04.200 --> 0:54:09.000 you know how how it feels to go up Escalator 0:54:09.840 --> 0:54:14.759 Corona coasture and then go down. Imagine going up that fast? Damn. Wow. 0:54:16.080 --> 0:54:18.759 I remember dancing the groove line like for like it 0:54:18.880 --> 0:54:21.360 felt like two hours. Damn. And you never had no 0:54:21.719 --> 0:54:24.160 crazy effects. No, I never had a bad trip on 0:54:24.440 --> 0:54:29.040 nothing really except that muther cocaine. Cocaine hell with drug 0:54:29.120 --> 0:54:32.000 the seventies was pure cocaine or right, that organic one 0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:38.040 you're tripping in the cocaine. No um, You know.

It's what you would dipped 0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:04.879 it in. And then they had some kind of ether 0:55:05.040 --> 0:55:07.719 concoction they used to rock it up in before the 0:55:07.800 --> 0:55:10.319 bay con soda in the water. I don't know about 0:55:10.360 --> 0:55:11.839 that part. I'm a ba con solder. Or I could 0:55:11.920 --> 0:55:14.640 rock up a rock right now. You don't forget it. 0:55:14.719 --> 0:55:18.279 It's just like riding no body. I don't out or 0:55:18.360 --> 0:55:21.879 but never because it is totally the devil. I only 0:55:21.960 --> 0:55:25.279 have four regrets in my life, and that is I 0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:28.480 never met Tupot or three regrets and I met Tupot, 0:55:28.560 --> 0:55:30.680 I never got to go to Studio fifty four, and 0:55:30.800 --> 0:55:34.600 that I ever ever ever touched cocaine.

Silks was like the Studio 0:55:50.800 --> 0:55:53.879 fifty four, but not so disco. And I've been saying, 0:55:53.920 --> 0:55:56.239 I'm just six o'clock in the morning, Well, how are 0:55:56.239 --> 0:55:59.440 you gonna dance? So six o'clock in the warning?

There was a fight, 1:02:02.240 --> 1:02:05.400 okay at Golden Corral, a fight, in all out brawl. 1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:07.520 I'm talking about forty people. It really looked like the 1:02:07.720 --> 1:02:10.920 Royal Rumba in their chairs were flying, big bodies banging 1:02:10.960 --> 1:02:13.240 into each other. I sway, I saw Mark Henry going 1:02:13.280 --> 1:02:15.600 head up with Rakishi and Golden Corral in his video. 1:02:15.960 --> 1:02:18.320 Bench McMahon would be proud. But what would make a 1:02:18.480 --> 1:02:22.720 brawl of forty people break out at a Golden Corral? 1:02:24.480 --> 1:02:26.520 You probably already know the answer. Let's go to CBS 1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:28.320 three News for the report. Police Boy. I talked to 1:02:28.400 --> 1:02:31.520 a man who posted that video online. He says he 1:02:31.680 --> 1:02:34.960 was told that fight broke out after the buffet here 1:02:35.360 --> 1:02:39.720 ran out of steak. Video shared with iowitness News shows 1:02:39.800 --> 1:02:43.320 punches being thrown and high chairs flying as a fight 1:02:43.440 --> 1:02:47.280 breaks out inside the Golden Corral and Ben Salem Friday evening. 1:02:48.080 --> 1:02:51.400 Ben Salem police confirmed the brawl may have involved more 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:56.120 than forty people and happened following an argument among some customers. 1:02:56.400 --> 1:02:58.680 This man, who used to work at the Ben Salem 1:02:58.720 --> 1:03:01.880 Golden Corral, says he was told by a current employee 1:03:02.200 --> 1:03:05.320 about the initial altercation. From what I heard, it was 1:03:05.440 --> 1:03:09.360 over steak. Apparently somebody cut in line. His friend heard 1:03:09.440 --> 1:03:12.919 the same details. There was a shortage of steak. Take 1:03:12.960 --> 1:03:15.760 a close listen, and a man can be heard saying, 1:03:16.240 --> 1:03:20.520 all I wanted was some steak. All he wanted with 1:03:20.640 --> 1:03:25.760 some steak, man, that's all he wanted. Listen, listen. We 1:03:25.880 --> 1:03:29.920 got more eyewitnesses. Alexis Rios was an eyewitness. He was 1:03:30.080 --> 1:03:33.439 on the line Go six ABC News. Alexis Rio says 1:03:33.640 --> 1:03:36.920 it started over a misunderstanding regarding a piece of steak. 1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:39.280 Come on. Rio says the person in front of him 1:03:39.440 --> 1:03:42.960 became angry with the cook because Rios received his steak first. 1:03:43.240 --> 1:03:44.960 He's trying to understand what you want. He's trying to 1:03:45.000 --> 1:03:47.160 give you what you want. I had a rare steak, 1:03:47.200 --> 1:03:49.000 which is a lot faster to cook than a well 1:03:49.040 --> 1:03:51.800 done That's why I got my steak first. Next thing, 1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:55.200 you know, he says, that misunderstanding erupted into an all 1:03:55.280 --> 1:03:58.760 out brawl. I grab a chair to defend myself and 1:03:58.920 --> 1:04:01.840 then to the lads, was it punches were gaining throng, 1:04:02.080 --> 1:04:07.960 chances of games throng, you name it. You can call it, cups, glasses, everything, 1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:11.360 you name it. These folks got the fighting because the 1:04:11.440 --> 1:04:13.600 buffet ran out of steak. Now, let me tell y'all something. 1:04:13.640 --> 1:04:16.000 This isn't no Golden Korate commercial. I don't know anyone 1:04:16.000 --> 1:04:18.360 who works that works there. This is something I'm saying 1:04:18.400 --> 1:04:20.520 out of the goodness of my heart and the fatness 1:04:20.560 --> 1:04:23.439 of my thoughts. There might not have been no steak left, 1:04:23.480 --> 1:04:25.040 but I can't sit here and say I go to 1:04:25.120 --> 1:04:28.320 Colden Koral for the steak. There's a lot of other proteins, 1:04:28.360 --> 1:04:31.080 and that dinner buffeted I thoroughly enjoy number one on 1:04:31.200 --> 1:04:35.240 that list. I mentioned it before their tasty earth meat loaf. Okay, 1:04:35.320 --> 1:04:38.320 with some mashed potatoes and coin. Now we're eating. Okay, 1:04:38.680 --> 1:04:40.520 there might not have been no steak left, but what 1:04:40.600 --> 1:04:44.120 about those golden fried strips? Hi? Come on, now, y'all 1:04:44.120 --> 1:04:48.160 fighting over one protein out of buffey a buffey Golden Koral. 1:04:48.280 --> 1:04:51.720 There's unlimited options for everybody. They got bourbon screech chicken, 1:04:52.000 --> 1:04:54.400 they got fried chicken, they got fried fish, big fish 1:04:54.440 --> 1:04:59.040 pot rolls, they got carved vote in turkey pot pies, 1:05:00.080 --> 1:05:03.280 Golden Karls pot pies. All right, there's too much there 1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:05.200 for y'all to choose from. For y'all to be fighting 1:05:05.280 --> 1:05:08.120 over steaks. See, the problem is y'all didn't eat enough 1:05:08.240 --> 1:05:10.440 yeast rolls before you went to work on the buffet. 1:05:10.720 --> 1:05:12.880 You have to eat at least one, no more than 1:05:12.960 --> 1:05:15.400 two yeast rolls at the buffet and drink it with 1:05:15.480 --> 1:05:17.120 a glass of water. Because when you eat the yeast 1:05:17.200 --> 1:05:19.400 roll and drink the water, it expands in your stomach 1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:23.800 and keeps things like steak shortages from ruining your experience. Okay, 1:05:23.840 --> 1:05:25.680 it keeps things like that from happening because when your 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:28.520 stomach is full, Okay, you won't eat as much. Now 1:05:28.600 --> 1:05:31.160 I knew y'all might think I'm joking ninety five percent 1:05:31.240 --> 1:05:34.040 of the time. Okay, but you have to understand what 1:05:34.280 --> 1:05:38.800 places like Golden Corral mean to some individuals. Right now, 1:05:39.400 --> 1:05:43.280 I feel pure innocence thinking the Golden Corral. It makes 1:05:43.360 --> 1:05:47.040 me feel warm inside because those are moments I remember 1:05:47.080 --> 1:05:51.080 as a child with my family. Okay, Golden Corral offers 1:05:51.120 --> 1:05:53.920 a sense of comfort, a sense of peace that I 1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:56.600 don't want to see disturbed by a group of individuals 1:05:56.680 --> 1:06:01.040 fighting over steak. I heard pain and that man's voice 1:06:01.120 --> 1:06:07.600 during that fight. Listen, man, all he wanted was some steak. Okay, 1:06:08.280 --> 1:06:12.640 play it one more time. Red, you know what I 1:06:12.760 --> 1:06:15.760 heard when he said that, I heard all my life 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.120 I had to fight. Okay. That is a brother that 1:06:18.320 --> 1:06:22.240 is tired, exhausted life kicking his monkey ass, and all 1:06:22.360 --> 1:06:25.640 he wanted was some steak. And yet he comes to 1:06:25.720 --> 1:06:28.400 this place, a comfort called Golden Corral, and ends up 1:06:28.440 --> 1:06:34.440 in a buffet fueled bra for what for what? He 1:06:34.480 --> 1:06:37.560 didn't even get the opportunity to get to the soft surf. Okay, 1:06:37.600 --> 1:06:39.280 we didn't even talk about the soft surf, the ice 1:06:39.280 --> 1:06:41.400 cream cones with the vanilla and chocolate soft surf. Okay, 1:06:41.400 --> 1:06:43.480 they got all kind of candy toppings and hot fudge. 1:06:43.520 --> 1:06:47.200 Oh my god, man, the carrot cake, the assaulting, the cookies, 1:06:47.240 --> 1:06:50.919 the cupcakes, banana putting, the fudge brownies. Man, stop playing 1:06:50.920 --> 1:06:53.480 with Golden Corral and stop playing in Golden Corral. Okay, 1:06:53.600 --> 1:06:55.920 learn the rules next time, or stay your ass home 1:06:55.960 --> 1:06:58.520 when you get there. Eat a damn ye stro okay, 1:06:58.600 --> 1:07:01.880 depending on your side, Eat three for drink some water. Okay, 1:07:02.120 --> 1:07:04.040 so you don't eat up all the food, all right? 1:07:04.080 --> 1:07:06.360 And every Golden corl Vett knows the point of the 1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:12.160 buffet is variety. Okay, assaultments. You don't go eating up. Okay, 1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:15.280 one thing, you try everything. They're saying something for the 1:07:15.400 --> 1:07:18.200 next man. All right. The reality is they probably didn't 1:07:18.240 --> 1:07:21.600 have no steak because beef is in short supply in 1:07:21.720 --> 1:07:26.160 a lot of places. Okay, supply chain disruptions are real. 1:07:26.480 --> 1:07:29.040 But the moral of the story is this. You know 1:07:29.080 --> 1:07:33.080 who's going through a lot right now, literally everybody, So 1:07:33.280 --> 1:07:36.000 just be kind. Please give those forty folks who got 1:07:36.040 --> 1:07:38.200 the banging in the Golden Corral the biggest he hall. 1:07:41.400 --> 1:07:48.000 I got a feeling. Taylor was there. You don't play 1:07:48.040 --> 1:07:56.800 a game. The Breakfast Club and everybody is tj Envy, 1:07:57.000 --> 1:08:00.360 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 1:08:00.640 --> 1:08:03.280 We have a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, 1:08:03.800 --> 1:08:07.959 he is my tax attorney, Eric Lee. Welcome Eric, Good morning, 1:08:08.000 --> 1:08:10.760 Good morning everyone. Who is Eric Lee? Well, before we started, 1:08:10.880 --> 1:08:12.800 let me tell you how I met Eric. So I 1:08:13.000 --> 1:08:16.439 was having some tax issues and some tax problems. I 1:08:16.520 --> 1:08:18.400 think a lot of us sometimes we do, and that's 1:08:18.560 --> 1:08:20.680 because we come from places where we honestly don't know 1:08:20.880 --> 1:08:23.400 how the correct way to do taxes or how to 1:08:23.439 --> 1:08:26.400 set up out businesses. And I didn't, and I was 1:08:26.760 --> 1:08:28.800 lost and confused. I reached out to a couple of 1:08:29.439 --> 1:08:32.560 accountants and tax attorneys who guided me wrong, and I 1:08:32.720 --> 1:08:34.680 was stuck to the point where most people don't know 1:08:34.680 --> 1:08:36.600 where the I rs. Actually put a lean on my 1:08:36.720 --> 1:08:39.680 passport no yes, and I couldn't track if I couldn't move, 1:08:40.160 --> 1:08:41.880 and I didn't know, and it was and it was 1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:43.320 nothing I can do. It wasn't the fact that I 1:08:43.360 --> 1:08:45.400 owed the money. I was going back and forth with 1:08:45.479 --> 1:08:47.800 them and they were doing things that I didn't think 1:08:47.920 --> 1:08:50.720 was right. And a friend of mine named Steph told 1:08:50.760 --> 1:08:52.080 me that he had a friend that had a friend, 1:08:52.120 --> 1:08:54.240 and I reached out to Eric, and Eric came and 1:08:54.680 --> 1:08:56.640 he worked my issue out. And the reason he's here 1:08:56.640 --> 1:08:58.320 today is because I know tax season is right around 1:08:58.360 --> 1:09:00.519 the corner, and there's so many people that need help 1:09:00.560 --> 1:09:03.080 with their taxes and just don't don't what to do 1:09:03.280 --> 1:09:04.920 it or how to do it. So I was like, 1:09:04.960 --> 1:09:06.639 why don't you come up and try to break down 1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:08.800 a lot of the things that you do that maybe 1:09:08.800 --> 1:09:11.640 you could help people like you actually helped break it down. Eric. 1:09:11.680 --> 1:09:13.280 I want to know how you how you saved envy 1:09:13.320 --> 1:09:17.120 that we don't say how you saved my ass, but well, 1:09:17.200 --> 1:09:20.160 I mean, you know, it's definitely been an interesting journey, Envy, right, 1:09:20.360 --> 1:09:25.240 and what we actually need to consider, especially for your listeners, right, 1:09:25.520 --> 1:09:28.240 the people who make sixty thousand dollars one hundred thousand 1:09:28.240 --> 1:09:31.559 dollars of lass. It's like the various deductions that came 1:09:31.640 --> 1:09:35.679 in last year under dividen administration that most people forget about. 1:09:36.120 --> 1:09:39.639 Most people actually never even heard about these days. For example, 1:09:39.720 --> 1:09:42.280 many of your listeners, if they have children, all right, 1:09:42.439 --> 1:09:45.559 under the age of seventeen, they should be getting three 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:49.639 hundred dollars a month last year. All right, yeah, tax 1:09:49.720 --> 1:09:53.800 credit that's in child tax okay, okay, well, mansions in 1:09:53.960 --> 1:09:55.840 charge right now, we'll just send it, right. We probably 1:09:55.880 --> 1:09:58.040 don't have that right now, So it's two thousand dollars 1:09:58.080 --> 1:10:01.240 a year. But last year it was three thousand dollars 1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:07.040 for children under six to seventeen. Kids less younger than six, 1:10:07.160 --> 1:10:09.639 it was thirty six hundred about if somebody has six 1:10:09.760 --> 1:10:12.800 kids up to how many kids infinite amount? Okay, But 1:10:13.600 --> 1:10:17.120 but that's the nice credit. That's everything that everyone hears about, Charlane, 1:10:17.400 --> 1:10:20.600 all right, but Envy, the big one, this is the 1:10:20.680 --> 1:10:23.679 one that people don't know about, okay, is a dependent 1:10:23.760 --> 1:10:26.680 care credit. The depending care credit is if you have 1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:30.000 children who you need to actually drop off at daycare 1:10:30.680 --> 1:10:34.760 or summer school, whatever someplace that you need to have 1:10:34.880 --> 1:10:37.280 your kids at when you need to go to work. 1:10:37.400 --> 1:10:41.759 All right. That is eight thousand to sixteen thousand dollars 1:10:42.400 --> 1:10:47.880 sixteen thousand dollars for expensive twenty twenty one, twenty twenty one, 1:10:48.040 --> 1:10:51.160 all right, And this is something that is so important 1:10:51.200 --> 1:10:54.679 for our listeners. Sixteen thousand dollars. We always talk about 1:10:54.720 --> 1:10:59.080 how expensive childcare is. Right, the Body Administration got something right. 1:10:59.120 --> 1:11:02.400 They gave a sixteen thousand dollars for each um for 1:11:02.600 --> 1:11:05.880 the dependent care credit. Right, your listeners need to take 1:11:05.880 --> 1:11:08.200 advantage of that. What what qualifications do you need to get? 1:11:08.240 --> 1:11:11.000 Dead sixteen thousand to make sure that you know our 1:11:11.040 --> 1:11:12.479 listeners are able to get it. So this is this 1:11:12.600 --> 1:11:16.360 year's tax return which is due when April April fifteen, 1:11:16.400 --> 1:11:19.280 April fifteen, So what are the qualifications to get you know, 1:11:19.439 --> 1:11:21.439 that amount of money for that? What is it called again? 1:11:21.640 --> 1:11:26.519 Dependent care credit? Dependent? Uh? The dependent must be thirteen 1:11:26.600 --> 1:11:32.240 years or younger unless they cannot physically or mentally take 1:11:32.280 --> 1:11:34.920 care of themselves, okay, right, you also have to they 1:11:35.160 --> 1:11:37.920 have to live with you for fifty one percent of time. Now, 1:11:38.200 --> 1:11:41.200 this is also not just when we think about just kids, 1:11:41.360 --> 1:11:43.960 all right. If I'm taking care of my parents and 1:11:44.080 --> 1:11:46.960 they follow fall within the same criteria, it's also eight 1:11:47.000 --> 1:11:50.760 to sixteen thousand dollars dependent, all right. So it's also 1:11:50.800 --> 1:11:53.559 a misnumber when we think it's only for children, all right. 1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:57.240 So it's a valuable item, right, Your listeners just probably 1:11:57.280 --> 1:11:59.320 got sixteen thousand thouars. To wait a minute. So if 1:11:59.360 --> 1:12:02.280 I'm if I have a kid in this per kid no, no, no, 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:04.800 up to two, up to two, Yeah, the first one 1:12:04.920 --> 1:12:07.960 is eight, two, three, four, five whatever it is, sixteen 1:12:08.720 --> 1:12:10.880 and then also like so I know a lot about 1:12:10.920 --> 1:12:12.439 our listeners. A lot of people out there, they have 1:12:12.640 --> 1:12:15.200 their mothers living with them or their fathers living with them, 1:12:15.240 --> 1:12:16.600 and they're taking kid of their mother and fathers. So 1:12:16.640 --> 1:12:18.960 they can get that under the Dependent Act as well. Yes, 1:12:19.200 --> 1:12:22.680 if they actually have a facility, that also help with 1:12:22.760 --> 1:12:25.240 them as well. Now, a lot of people always ask, 1:12:25.320 --> 1:12:28.000 you know, they're working on the five and they get 1:12:28.040 --> 1:12:30.559 taxes taken out of their check, what write offs can 1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:33.320 they do if they if they already working in on 1:12:33.400 --> 1:12:35.599 the farm, they already take taxes out How can they 1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:38.479 get more money back or write more things off? If possible? 1:12:38.520 --> 1:12:39.680 What do they need to set up? Do they need 1:12:39.680 --> 1:12:42.120 to set up a corporation? Es core but LLC? Do 1:12:42.200 --> 1:12:44.200 they How do they write off their gas? How they like? 1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:46.720 How do they do that to get more money back? Well? 1:12:46.760 --> 1:12:48.320 I hate to be a lawyer with you guys, but 1:12:48.479 --> 1:12:51.960 it kind of depends, right, It kind of depends, because 1:12:52.240 --> 1:12:54.120 I don't want anyone to be just setting up a 1:12:54.160 --> 1:12:56.960 corporation just to get a tax deduction, because that doesn't 1:12:56.960 --> 1:12:59.600 make any sense. You're throwing away thousands and thousands of 1:12:59.640 --> 1:13:02.000 dollars to get a tax deduction of maybe thirty seven percent. 1:13:02.080 --> 1:13:04.960 That doesn't make sense, all right. What does make sense 1:13:05.280 --> 1:13:11.040 is actually going through your sources of income and finding 1:13:11.080 --> 1:13:13.280 out what your income is. Right. If it's just w 1:13:13.479 --> 1:13:16.360 two wages, all right, then we may need to actually 1:13:16.439 --> 1:13:18.559 set up a retirement account like an IRA or four 1:13:18.680 --> 1:13:20.600 one K you know, go to Morgan Stanley, go to 1:13:20.680 --> 1:13:22.759 Mary Lynch whatever and set one up, right. It doesn't 1:13:22.800 --> 1:13:26.240 take you very long. Okay. If it's interest income, we 1:13:26.360 --> 1:13:28.640 need to determine do you actually need to income or 1:13:28.720 --> 1:13:32.160 can you actually transform that income? All right? Maybe you'll 1:13:32.200 --> 1:13:34.360 want to change it into a municipal bond. Right. Some 1:13:34.520 --> 1:13:38.160 of our older listeners, you know, who are retirees, they 1:13:38.200 --> 1:13:40.800 may have like a bunch of savings income, interest income, right, 1:13:40.880 --> 1:13:43.400 so then they should change it into something that's non taxable, 1:13:43.520 --> 1:13:47.080 all right, capital gains. Maybe you don't sell your stock, 1:13:47.320 --> 1:13:51.120 or maybe you transform it into a what is called 1:13:51.400 --> 1:13:54.320 a dividend reinvestment plan. All right. So if you're getting, 1:13:54.560 --> 1:13:57.439 for example, dividends from Microsoft three dollars a year or 1:13:57.439 --> 1:14:00.240 whatever it is, right, you can change it where you 1:14:00.280 --> 1:14:02.920 don't get that three dollars. You actually get stock in Microsoft, 1:14:03.120 --> 1:14:06.320 and that is not taxable. So it really does depend 1:14:06.479 --> 1:14:09.639 on the client into situation. What are the top five 1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:11.800 things you can't write off? Because that thing, as you know, 1:14:11.960 --> 1:14:15.320 that's a great question. Okay, some people, some clients will 1:14:15.320 --> 1:14:17.320 say like, hey, I have all these clothes, I have 1:14:17.479 --> 1:14:21.080 this chain, right, can I write this off? The rule 1:14:21.240 --> 1:14:25.040 is ordinary and necessary business expense? All right. First of all, 1:14:25.080 --> 1:14:27.160 it has to be a business expense. Second one, you 1:14:27.240 --> 1:14:28.800 have to have income. If you don't have income, you 1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:31.760 don't have expenses. So when people say like, all right, 1:14:31.920 --> 1:14:35.880 can I buy a car and just write this off? Charlottagne, Right, well, 1:14:36.160 --> 1:14:38.759 first of all, is it necessary and is it ordinary? 1:14:39.280 --> 1:14:42.120 All right? What type of business do you have? If 1:14:42.160 --> 1:14:46.040 I buy a Rolls Royce, Right, that's probably not necessary, 1:14:46.320 --> 1:14:50.479 but in some situations it may be right. So so 1:14:50.840 --> 1:14:54.639 it goes down this path of like what is necessary? Yeah, 1:14:55.160 --> 1:14:57.160 we have more where Eric Lee? When we come back, 1:14:57.320 --> 1:14:59.280 tax season is right around a corner. If you need 1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:02.120 some helps information, well, Eric Lee, I'll help you out 1:15:02.160 --> 1:15:04.719 when we come back. It's a breakfast club. Go Morning Morning. 1:15:04.760 --> 1:15:08.880 Everybody's dj envy angela ye, Charlomagne, the guy we are 1:15:08.960 --> 1:15:11.879 to breakfast club. We're still kicking in with tax attorney 1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:14.400 Eric Lee. Now, tax seasons right around a corner, and 1:15:14.479 --> 1:15:16.640 they'll help you get some extra money. Charlomagne. How did 1:15:16.680 --> 1:15:19.320 the tax quo would hurt low and middle class families? 1:15:19.800 --> 1:15:22.840 There are two examples. I want to give you two examples, right, 1:15:23.360 --> 1:15:29.120 first example is let's look at interest. Right. My parents 1:15:29.640 --> 1:15:32.439 don't have much money, right, they open an account at 1:15:32.520 --> 1:15:34.519 City Bank, they put in a thousand dollars, they get 1:15:34.560 --> 1:15:38.960 some interest income. Right, that is taxet ordinary income up 1:15:39.000 --> 1:15:42.200 to thirty seven percent. Okay, up to thirty seven percent. Federally, 1:15:42.280 --> 1:15:44.920 let's not even talk about the state. Okay, thirty seven percent. 1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:48.280 If they got dividends, they go on robin Hood open 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:53.080 up an account. Right. Dividend income is taxed at most 1:15:53.200 --> 1:15:56.000 twenty three point eight percent, so you have a swing 1:15:56.080 --> 1:16:00.799 of fourteen percent. All right, Who has dividends in America? 1:16:01.439 --> 1:16:05.960 The wealthy rich? Yeah? Right? Who has interest income? More likely? 1:16:06.080 --> 1:16:09.519 Retirees more likely? Poor people you know, who need to 1:16:09.720 --> 1:16:12.840 open up to something like a savings account. Why would 1:16:12.880 --> 1:16:17.040 decode change that because there's really no difference between interest 1:16:17.120 --> 1:16:19.200 income and dividend anycome. If you think about it, it's 1:16:19.240 --> 1:16:21.200 easier to open a robin Hood account than it is 1:16:21.240 --> 1:16:23.680 to open a savings account in Bank of America. Right, 1:16:24.120 --> 1:16:26.639 So that's one thing. Look at the meals that we're 1:16:26.680 --> 1:16:29.040 talking about, Charliemagne. When you take your kids out, right, 1:16:29.240 --> 1:16:33.680 not tax deductible. But if you have a business, why 1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:37.200 would that be tax deductible? You know? So these are 1:16:37.320 --> 1:16:40.400 like very very simple things, but into our policy things 1:16:40.479 --> 1:16:44.400 to your question. Right into fifties and sixties, there were 1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:48.960 significant tax credits and deductions for setting up multifamily households. Okay, 1:16:50.200 --> 1:16:54.600 now those are done. Now the tax credits and deductions 1:16:54.720 --> 1:16:59.559 are for setting up these McMansions. Right, So our shift 1:17:00.040 --> 1:17:03.760 in housing has gone into larger homes away from the 1:17:03.880 --> 1:17:06.439 multifamily homes that we need a place for New York. 1:17:06.800 --> 1:17:10.439 All right, So you see this throughout the code, all right, 1:17:10.479 --> 1:17:13.200 And this is no slamm against RS. Seventy three thousand 1:17:13.200 --> 1:17:17.320 people work at RS. They're actually pretty overworked. There are 1:17:17.479 --> 1:17:21.760 fifteen sorry, there are sixteen thousand people who work at 1:17:21.760 --> 1:17:24.519 the phone banks into IRS. And when you called IRIS, Charlemagne, 1:17:24.520 --> 1:17:27.519 you're always on hold. You're on hold for hours, Envy, 1:17:27.560 --> 1:17:30.519 you're talking about your passport thing that was hours of 1:17:30.640 --> 1:17:33.200 just being on hold. Sixteen thousand you nominy calls it 1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:36.760 get a year, two hundred and forty million columns. It 1:17:36.920 --> 1:17:39.599 is it? True to IRIS was created to help the people, 1:17:40.479 --> 1:17:43.240 and then it changed where it's like more of a 1:17:43.320 --> 1:17:46.800 government thing ATNIT. Now yeah, I mean you know when 1:17:46.880 --> 1:17:49.880 we think about like what taxes were for, right, it 1:17:50.040 --> 1:17:55.680 was for education, it was for health and maintenance of society, right. 1:17:56.120 --> 1:17:58.320 But now it's just become an organ and it's become 1:17:58.400 --> 1:18:00.560 kind of like a political entity and almost kind of 1:18:00.600 --> 1:18:02.320 like a kicking bat, you know, like people just like 1:18:02.840 --> 1:18:05.680 kick it now, you know, and it's become this like 1:18:06.320 --> 1:18:10.160 organization that has to just interpret this behemoth? Did the 1:18:10.280 --> 1:18:13.640 Internal Revenue Code actually probably nine times the size of 1:18:13.720 --> 1:18:16.960 King's James Bible? Nine times? Who the hell can you 1:18:17.000 --> 1:18:21.880 read all it? Nobody can? Nobody can. No, Like I mean, 1:18:21.960 --> 1:18:26.320 if you're asking me, right, yeah, Like I know my corporations, right, 1:18:26.520 --> 1:18:30.880 I know my transfers, corporate reords, I know tax planning, right. 1:18:31.120 --> 1:18:33.840 But if you asked me, like, hey, it's state planning. Hey, 1:18:34.040 --> 1:18:37.679 my mom has you know so many millions? I don't 1:18:37.720 --> 1:18:41.240 know that section. I don't know that sectioned out well, right, 1:18:41.360 --> 1:18:43.880 I have to rely on my partner, Christina Pazza, who 1:18:43.920 --> 1:18:47.479 knows how to reduce people's income, you know, for estate planning. 1:18:47.920 --> 1:18:51.240 So nobody anyone who says they know every part of 1:18:51.280 --> 1:18:53.760 the tax code, there's no possible way. Is there a 1:18:53.840 --> 1:18:55.560 way not to pay taxes? Like you know, I know 1:18:55.640 --> 1:18:58.040 at one time that's in the taxol. We got to 1:18:58.040 --> 1:19:02.080 read it. Anyway not to pay taxes? I don't know. 1:19:02.160 --> 1:19:05.280 Maybe if you were Native American, you know you don't 1:19:05.320 --> 1:19:06.880 have to pay that? Is that any truth to any 1:19:06.880 --> 1:19:10.120 of it? No? No, no, no, noative, I mean you 1:19:10.320 --> 1:19:14.280 got to you gotta pay, you gotta pay where your 1:19:14.320 --> 1:19:17.559 income is source, all right. So even people who say like, hey, 1:19:18.120 --> 1:19:20.360 moved to Nevada, moved to Florida, moved to Texas, moved 1:19:20.400 --> 1:19:24.400 to Puerto Rico. Right. I have a client who, um 1:19:25.160 --> 1:19:27.000 knock on wood you know, is going to be a 1:19:27.040 --> 1:19:30.679 bitcoin billionaire, right all right, And everybody in the bitcoin 1:19:30.720 --> 1:19:32.400 industry is like, oh, just move to Puerto Rico. So 1:19:32.479 --> 1:19:35.479 any kind of avoid all your taxes I've heard that before, right, No, 1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:39.360 because or make sure your servers in Israel or something 1:19:39.479 --> 1:19:42.760 like that, you know, to avoid your taxes absolutely not right. 1:19:43.160 --> 1:19:45.519 You have to pay your fair share, all right, of 1:19:45.680 --> 1:19:48.639 where the income is source, all right. But where those 1:19:48.720 --> 1:19:52.240 people actually minimize or lower their taxes is to implement 1:19:52.320 --> 1:19:55.559 certain vehicles to get them from thirty seven percent where 1:19:55.640 --> 1:19:58.120 we were talking about for like interest income down to 1:19:58.240 --> 1:20:00.680 twenty three point eight in dividends kind of like how 1:20:00.720 --> 1:20:03.240 Mitt Romney did it, you know, with hedge fund money. Right. 1:20:03.600 --> 1:20:06.720 So that's how people reduce their taxes. And now I'm 1:20:06.760 --> 1:20:08.280 not gonna lie to we did live in like a 1:20:08.360 --> 1:20:10.240 Florida or New York man that would say was so 1:20:10.360 --> 1:20:13.000 much money because New York state taxes to be kicking ass. 1:20:13.280 --> 1:20:15.840 One d p So you know, that's about how much 1:20:15.840 --> 1:20:21.040 they take you go. You know, you got ten point 1:20:21.120 --> 1:20:23.559 nine percent state and then if you live in the city, 1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:27.120 it's what three three point eight seven six, right, California 1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:31.320 thirteen point three. New Jersey's ten point seven five right, 1:20:31.720 --> 1:20:33.280 So yeah, you have to go to Texas. You got 1:20:33.360 --> 1:20:36.080 to go to Florida. Right. Some people say that, some retirees. 1:20:36.400 --> 1:20:39.120 Some retirees will say like, hey, um, how do I 1:20:39.160 --> 1:20:40.800 avoid all my state income tax? Well, you have to 1:20:40.880 --> 1:20:43.200 move to Florida. But the thing is, you actually have 1:20:43.280 --> 1:20:45.639 to move to Florida. You actually have to live there 1:20:45.720 --> 1:20:48.519 for like one hundred and eighty three days, right, And 1:20:48.880 --> 1:20:51.519 that's may not be as easy as you think. You know. Yeah, 1:20:51.760 --> 1:20:53.040 I was gonna ask. You know, there's a lot of 1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:56.439 people buying houses right now during a pandemic, interest rates low, 1:20:57.080 --> 1:20:59.439 it seems like people are giving money. How can you 1:20:59.560 --> 1:21:01.880 make you that Well, first of all, after you buy 1:21:01.920 --> 1:21:03.599 a house, can you write off anything in the house 1:21:03.640 --> 1:21:05.040 at the end of the year. And also, is there 1:21:05.040 --> 1:21:07.080 any way to get any type of tax returns for 1:21:07.200 --> 1:21:10.120 buying that house? Because you buy a house, now you 1:21:10.200 --> 1:21:11.760 got to pay taxes at the end of DYEA you're broke. 1:21:11.840 --> 1:21:13.360 So is there anything that you can do to write 1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:16.679 any of that stuff for? Yeah, so your property taxes 1:21:17.439 --> 1:21:21.400 will be part of your itemized deductions. That's a tax deduction. Okay, 1:21:21.760 --> 1:21:25.120 your mortgage, your interest is a tax deduction. All right. 1:21:25.439 --> 1:21:28.240 So those are the two key ones. All right. Now 1:21:28.360 --> 1:21:30.479 let's talk about your house. Right, are you using that 1:21:30.600 --> 1:21:33.080 for a business purpose? Right? If you have an office? Yeah, 1:21:33.160 --> 1:21:36.599 home office deduction all right? If you have a business, right, 1:21:36.760 --> 1:21:39.080 maybe you instead of taking a home office deduction, you 1:21:39.080 --> 1:21:42.519 should have some shareholder meetings in there, right, and that 1:21:42.680 --> 1:21:47.320 could reduce some of your business income, and then it 1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:51.559 would also then serve as a deduction for you, depending 1:21:51.600 --> 1:21:54.040 on how the business is formed. We have more with 1:21:54.240 --> 1:21:56.479 Eric Lee when we come back. Tax season is right 1:21:56.520 --> 1:21:59.040 around a corner. If you need some help, some information, well, 1:21:59.560 --> 1:22:00.960 Eric Lee to help you out. When we come back. 1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:06.719 It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club burning. 1:22:06.760 --> 1:22:10.920 Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Chalomagne the guy we are 1:22:11.000 --> 1:22:13.920 the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking in with tax attorney 1:22:14.040 --> 1:22:16.439 Eric Lee. Now, tax seasons right around the corner, and 1:22:16.479 --> 1:22:18.640 they'll help you get some extra money. Chalomagne, how does 1:22:18.680 --> 1:22:21.599 do the loans affect people's taxes? So a great question. 1:22:22.400 --> 1:22:25.920 It depends. If you make less than seventy thousand dollars, 1:22:26.360 --> 1:22:28.880 make sure make sure you speak with your tax prepared 1:22:28.920 --> 1:22:32.360 because you get a twenty five hundred dollars tax deduction. 1:22:32.560 --> 1:22:35.200 If you make more than seventy thousand dollars up to 1:22:35.280 --> 1:22:39.280 around eighty thousand, it does phase out, meaning it reduces. 1:22:39.640 --> 1:22:41.120 What about people who just bought a new home, how 1:22:41.280 --> 1:22:44.120 how did they get a high retire Again, it would 1:22:44.200 --> 1:22:47.960 depend on home mortgage interest as well as property taxes, 1:22:48.320 --> 1:22:50.479 and then some of the things that we were talking about. 1:22:50.479 --> 1:22:52.720 You know, if you have a business, then maybe you 1:22:52.840 --> 1:22:56.160 need to utilize your house within the business. You know, 1:22:56.360 --> 1:23:00.080 when it comes to the administration, the presidential administration, what 1:23:00.280 --> 1:23:02.559 helps people more when it comes to money as far 1:23:02.640 --> 1:23:08.000 as saving is it the Democrats are Republicans? You know, 1:23:08.040 --> 1:23:09.760 because you had a lot of businessmen saying I want 1:23:09.800 --> 1:23:12.040 Trump because Trump does better for business owners, and then 1:23:12.080 --> 1:23:15.320 you hear other people say no, no, no, Biden is 1:23:15.320 --> 1:23:16.760 going to help the people that need it more. So 1:23:17.320 --> 1:23:20.240 what are your thoughts on as far as helping people 1:23:20.400 --> 1:23:23.240 and writing things off and for small business owners and 1:23:23.400 --> 1:23:31.160 regular people. So I live in Illinois, Okay, and we 1:23:31.240 --> 1:23:34.519 always hear about the corruption in Illinois and how bad 1:23:34.640 --> 1:23:38.840 potholes are the school system and everything. At the end 1:23:38.840 --> 1:23:42.599 of the year, my husband and I were very fortunate. 1:23:42.640 --> 1:23:44.519 We're very fortunate. We live a blessed life. I mean, 1:23:44.560 --> 1:23:46.519 I'm in the breakfast club. Are you kidding me? Right? 1:23:47.240 --> 1:23:50.439 And we always try to make deductions at the end 1:23:50.479 --> 1:23:53.640 of the year, charitable deductions to reduce our taxes. Right. 1:23:53.760 --> 1:23:55.519 But there's something I do where I look up to 1:23:55.640 --> 1:23:58.040 zip code where we live. We live in oak Park, 1:23:58.960 --> 1:24:02.880 and we look for what do schools actually need? So 1:24:03.080 --> 1:24:05.960 teachers actually put up these projects, they ask for donations. Right, 1:24:07.479 --> 1:24:11.599 every year, invariably we get people teachers who ask us 1:24:11.680 --> 1:24:19.519 for juice boxes, crayons, toilet paper. We have teachers who 1:24:19.560 --> 1:24:21.960 are asking us for toilet paper. What country do we 1:24:22.120 --> 1:24:28.519 live in? Okay? And when we hear about wasting taxes, 1:24:28.560 --> 1:24:33.600 when we talk about that, Okay, hold that aside. I 1:24:33.720 --> 1:24:38.519 have students who don't have toilet paper, are you kidding me? Right? 1:24:38.840 --> 1:24:42.360 But in wealthier neighborhoods in Chicago, they're literally giving out 1:24:42.439 --> 1:24:47.559 ip iPads tor kids. All right, So when you're talking 1:24:47.680 --> 1:24:52.920 about who's better Republicans or Democrats. You know, I have 1:24:53.000 --> 1:24:55.600 to be agnostic about that, all right, But what I 1:24:55.840 --> 1:25:00.000 need to know is the listeners need to make sure 1:25:00.040 --> 1:25:03.320 sure that they call in, that they are actually educated, 1:25:03.400 --> 1:25:07.320 that they actually make sure that the senators and congress 1:25:07.400 --> 1:25:10.400 people are actually making sure that durings that dependent care 1:25:10.439 --> 1:25:13.280 credit for this year. That's so real, what you're saying, 1:25:13.320 --> 1:25:15.680 because it doesn't matter who's in the office. It's like 1:25:15.840 --> 1:25:19.320 the poor always stuff, yeah, or even if they're a 1:25:19.360 --> 1:25:24.320 provision Charlomagne, they need to know that it's there, right, Like, 1:25:24.760 --> 1:25:29.880 I mean, you guys have this amazing platform, right, but 1:25:30.000 --> 1:25:31.640 I'm sure there are plenty of listeners who did not 1:25:31.680 --> 1:25:33.599 know about the dependent character or even a child tax 1:25:33.680 --> 1:25:36.519 credit to by are right. So when we're seeing the 1:25:36.560 --> 1:25:40.400 poor always suffers one hundred percent, but when they even 1:25:40.520 --> 1:25:44.320 get something, they may not know it's available. Yeah. And 1:25:44.640 --> 1:25:46.360 the reason I wanted to bring you on is because 1:25:46.400 --> 1:25:49.439 you know, we always talk about I always say, servicing 1:25:49.479 --> 1:25:53.080 our life. Right, We'll take our car to get oil change, 1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:55.280 we'll take our car to gets high is, we'll take 1:25:55.640 --> 1:25:57.360 you know, there's so many different things, but we have 1:25:57.439 --> 1:25:59.840 to make sure that as a person we're taking care 1:25:59.840 --> 1:26:03.040 of right and whether it's going to the doctor, whether 1:26:03.120 --> 1:26:07.640 it's having a will, whether it's having an accountant, an attorneys, 1:26:07.800 --> 1:26:09.880 things that you know that we use, that we need. 1:26:11.280 --> 1:26:12.680 And now I call you all the time. I don't 1:26:12.680 --> 1:26:15.200 care if I'm buying a car, a piece of jewelry, 1:26:15.280 --> 1:26:17.640 a T shirt, if I'm taking a trip, I call 1:26:17.720 --> 1:26:19.400 him because I want to know the best way to 1:26:19.680 --> 1:26:21.800 write it off or the best way to pay for it, 1:26:22.240 --> 1:26:23.920 and you're always there to help me. So I just 1:26:24.000 --> 1:26:26.160 wanted to say thank you, and hopefully you know you 1:26:26.280 --> 1:26:28.639 gave some thank you, some insight to people out there 1:26:28.680 --> 1:26:30.960 of why they need a good accountant and sometimes that 1:26:31.160 --> 1:26:34.000 fast food accounting services might not be beneficial to you 1:26:34.439 --> 1:26:36.600 and it might be actually hurting you. So I just 1:26:36.680 --> 1:26:38.439 want you guys to take a look to that and 1:26:38.479 --> 1:26:40.800 make sure you have a great tax attorney that can 1:26:40.880 --> 1:26:43.439 look into your stuff and help you on your journey, 1:26:43.439 --> 1:26:45.280 because a lot of us have journeys, and you know, 1:26:45.520 --> 1:26:47.080 he's part of this journey with me. So I just 1:26:47.120 --> 1:26:50.880 wanted to say thank you. Now you can want to 1:26:50.880 --> 1:26:52.080 get in touch with you. I know you're not really 1:26:52.120 --> 1:26:54.080 taking clients, but I know if they wanted. Maybe you 1:26:54.120 --> 1:26:55.800 have a good they have a question or whatever it 1:26:55.840 --> 1:26:58.160 may be. How can they get in contact with you 1:26:58.360 --> 1:27:02.680 or your firm? Yep um go to our website at 1:27:02.840 --> 1:27:07.920 Players Management Group dot com players p L A y 1:27:08.080 --> 1:27:12.720 e R S Mgmt Group g r oup dot com. 1:27:13.320 --> 1:27:15.920 Now with business, Now, what do you suggest for people 1:27:15.960 --> 1:27:20.519 that have a company LLC squote? What's best? What's better? 1:27:20.680 --> 1:27:22.439 Why they use each one? Because a lot of people 1:27:22.439 --> 1:27:25.160 don't know the difference between LC escorp and what they 1:27:25.200 --> 1:27:28.760 should use it for, you know, or even C corps. Right, 1:27:29.120 --> 1:27:33.719 and that really depends because each one of their primarily 1:27:33.800 --> 1:27:36.320 six entities out there. Right, you could be a sole proprietorship, 1:27:36.400 --> 1:27:39.080 I just you know, do an uber thing. Right, I 1:27:39.200 --> 1:27:41.599 can be a little bit more sophisticated form an LLC. 1:27:41.720 --> 1:27:43.320 I could form an escorporation, and could form a C 1:27:43.439 --> 1:27:47.360 corporation Charlemagne, and I can open up a coffee store. 1:27:47.560 --> 1:27:50.720 Right that becomes a general partnership by default. Right. Each 1:27:50.800 --> 1:27:54.160 one of these have their own benefits, okay, but each 1:27:54.200 --> 1:27:57.000 one of them have their own weaknesses, all right. A 1:27:57.720 --> 1:28:02.439 good attorney or a good CPA would probably tell you 1:28:02.560 --> 1:28:06.200 to actually have them all if possible, because there are 1:28:06.240 --> 1:28:10.519 certain provisions within the S corporation, certain benefits that do 1:28:10.720 --> 1:28:14.120 not apply to the C corporation. Okay. So, for example, 1:28:14.439 --> 1:28:17.200 if I'm an employee at S corporation, certain benefits that 1:28:17.360 --> 1:28:20.800 I have as a shareholder employee I can't take. I 1:28:20.920 --> 1:28:23.320 can't take it. But if I'm an employee of the 1:28:23.360 --> 1:28:27.839 C corporation, I can take those deductions. Okay, for example 1:28:27.880 --> 1:28:31.320 health insurance, right, the company can actually deduct that if 1:28:32.360 --> 1:28:34.240 I'm an employe of a C corporation. If an employee 1:28:34.240 --> 1:28:37.439 of ANES corporation, I can't deduct that. Okay. So you 1:28:37.640 --> 1:28:40.960 may need a comprehensive plan where you actually set all 1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:44.519 those things up in place. Got you all right? Well, 1:28:44.600 --> 1:28:49.240 Eric Lee, very informative. It's the Breakfast Cloud. Good morning, Envy, 1:28:49.320 --> 1:28:52.720 Thank you so much, the Breakfast Club.

Let me put a little 1:29:32.840 --> 1:29:37.400 bit of a breakfast club your life stop. DJ v Angela, 1:29:37.880 --> 1:29:46.919 Charlemagne the Morning. Everybody is DJ envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne 1:29:46.960 --> 1:29:49.600 the guy. We are the breakfast club. We got a 1:29:49.680 --> 1:29:52.400 special guest in the building. Them and CEO of one 1:29:52.520 --> 1:29:56.960 United Bank owner an owner, that's right, Kevin Kobe, welcome. 1:29:57.320 --> 1:30:00.880 What's up? Man's good to see you, cash Man. I 1:30:00.920 --> 1:30:03.000 haven't seen you in a while, and it always wants 1:30:03.120 --> 1:30:05.160 my heart to hang out with you. You know, such 1:30:05.200 --> 1:30:08.320 a source of inspiration to all of us, so as 1:30:08.320 --> 1:30:11.720 we appreciate you and everything you do as well, So 1:30:11.800 --> 1:30:13.280 we want to know what's new. I know there was 1:30:14.560 --> 1:30:16.400 Tell them what one United banker is. Friends, just just 1:30:16.520 --> 1:30:19.559 give them a reminder, Okay, a reminder. One United Bank 1:30:19.760 --> 1:30:23.000 is the largest black owned bank in America. What Mason 1:30:23.120 --> 1:30:28.160 specialists financial technology platform. It has built the technology to 1:30:28.360 --> 1:30:32.400 have a nationwide customer base and to provide all the 1:30:32.560 --> 1:30:36.120 modern financial services that we come to expect out the 1:30:36.240 --> 1:30:39.280 day to day life, things like Benmo, cash app and 1:30:39.360 --> 1:30:42.320 being able to use those kind of services, plus unique 1:30:42.360 --> 1:30:45.760 things we created that are special for the Black community 1:30:45.800 --> 1:30:48.960 and people who have limited resources, things like two day 1:30:49.040 --> 1:30:51.519 early pay. It's a big deal to people to be 1:30:51.600 --> 1:30:54.280 able to get their paycheck two days early as an example, 1:30:54.600 --> 1:30:57.599 that's a one United Bank program. Things like cash Please, 1:30:57.680 --> 1:30:59.680 and this is a big one because it was a 1:30:59.760 --> 1:31:03.559 black company that introduced it. If people are saying it's one, 1:31:03.720 --> 1:31:07.160 it's possibly a solution to pay their lending and that's 1:31:07.400 --> 1:31:10.120 that's one of our product that allows a person to 1:31:10.360 --> 1:31:15.120 get a short term, small balanced loan, which we often 1:31:15.200 --> 1:31:19.080 find ourselves needing in times of emergency, and being able 1:31:19.120 --> 1:31:23.400 to do that without relying on traditional credit kind of mechanism. 1:31:23.600 --> 1:31:26.679 So if you think of one United Bak as a bank, 1:31:27.439 --> 1:31:31.400 that is a technology company, something that has the actual 1:31:31.560 --> 1:31:35.680 ability to organize Black America and its allies on a 1:31:35.880 --> 1:31:39.440 national basis, and not just to provide them with financial 1:31:39.520 --> 1:31:44.040 services and products, but to lead to actual important changes 1:31:44.160 --> 1:31:47.280 in society. Something that has the ability to create a 1:31:47.360 --> 1:31:50.439 power base for us to give us the actual power 1:31:50.560 --> 1:31:54.160 to do things like affect racism and our society. We 1:31:54.280 --> 1:31:58.320 do things like conduct anti racism programs in a unique 1:31:58.520 --> 1:32:01.240 kind of way that can affect for all society. We 1:32:01.400 --> 1:32:05.680 do things like financial literacy programs that teach and communicate 1:32:05.760 --> 1:32:08.479 with Black people in a way that we understand. So 1:32:08.640 --> 1:32:12.280 now for people who are trying to buy home, how 1:32:12.360 --> 1:32:14.519 can is when United Bank first of all open open 1:32:14.600 --> 1:32:17.600 for business, so they are are lending. Man, We're absolutely 1:32:17.720 --> 1:32:21.919 open for business, and and we're on and we're popping. 1:32:22.520 --> 1:32:25.439 And any large base will tell you that they don't 1:32:25.520 --> 1:32:27.760 have the technology that we have. They don't have the 1:32:27.840 --> 1:32:31.200 ability to deliver services and products like we have in 1:32:31.320 --> 1:32:35.240 many ways because we have a new technology infrastructure, we 1:32:35.360 --> 1:32:40.120 weren't locked into old systems that have grown less effective 1:32:40.320 --> 1:32:43.680 over time. So it's the institution. Since we started this 1:32:43.840 --> 1:32:46.880 journey together, since we became friends many many years ago, 1:32:47.320 --> 1:32:50.719 the dream is becoming a reality what we all wanted 1:32:50.760 --> 1:32:53.519 to happen, just like you guys have grown. The breakfast 1:32:53.560 --> 1:32:56.840 club has grown one United bake It's grown. It is 1:32:56.840 --> 1:33:00.479 an example of black excellence. It can organize us as 1:33:00.560 --> 1:33:03.920 a people to create change that we've been trying to 1:33:04.560 --> 1:33:07.360 get since the end of slavery. I didn't like that question. 1:33:07.479 --> 1:33:09.560 You asked, what you're trying to make it seem like 1:33:09.640 --> 1:33:11.720 they can't give our loans to people because they're a 1:33:11.720 --> 1:33:14.880 black bank. What did you mean by that, sir? I 1:33:14.960 --> 1:33:17.479 wanted to make sure that they're able to satisfy all 1:33:17.520 --> 1:33:19.360 the loans that people are coming in and asking, well, 1:33:19.360 --> 1:33:21.080 I wouldn't they be able to That's what I'm asking. 1:33:21.080 --> 1:33:22.960 I know at one time, when they first started, they 1:33:23.000 --> 1:33:25.200 were minimal to a certain amount. So that's why I'm asking. 1:33:25.360 --> 1:33:29.479 Is that true? Well, it's true with any company. The 1:33:29.640 --> 1:33:33.599 companies go on journeys and they become stronger over time. 1:33:33.760 --> 1:33:36.840 That's the key. And and you know, look, you know 1:33:36.920 --> 1:33:39.560 I know him and got to watch them when it 1:33:39.600 --> 1:33:45.439 comes to watch them, Kevin, all right, you gotta watch 1:33:45.600 --> 1:33:48.519 to Kevin. And I ask what about cannabis? I know 1:33:48.840 --> 1:33:51.800 a lot of minorities are getting into cannabis, and thinks 1:33:51.840 --> 1:33:54.680 are not allowing them to actually have their money there? 1:33:54.760 --> 1:33:56.880 How was one gotta bank with that? Now, now let's 1:33:56.920 --> 1:33:59.840 be clear, it's not it's not the banks. Banks wanted 1:34:00.000 --> 1:34:03.240 to it. It's the government. You see, when we're we're 1:34:03.439 --> 1:34:05.880 we operate on a national basis, and when you're doing 1:34:06.040 --> 1:34:09.240 things that cross state lines, then you got to deal 1:34:09.320 --> 1:34:11.280 with the law when it comes to things like that. 1:34:11.760 --> 1:34:16.400 We think that black business is fundamentally changing and there's 1:34:16.439 --> 1:34:19.840 a whole new opportunity set that is critically important that 1:34:20.240 --> 1:34:24.400 we understand. Cannabis is one aspect of aspect of it, 1:34:24.520 --> 1:34:28.880 but the bigger phenomenized technology. See, you can't get stuck 1:34:29.000 --> 1:34:34.960 with buggy whip businesses in a better reality world. Okay, 1:34:35.400 --> 1:34:38.360 so we know, yeah, man like because look a look, 1:34:38.439 --> 1:34:41.520 during the pandemic, we lost fifty percent of our businesses, 1:34:42.000 --> 1:34:44.920 which is bad. But at the same time, he creates 1:34:44.960 --> 1:34:50.679 a new opportunity for us. Technology fundamentally changes the business 1:34:50.800 --> 1:34:54.280 opportunities that are available to us as a people, and 1:34:54.439 --> 1:34:58.000 we got to build technology based businesses. We have to 1:34:58.600 --> 1:35:03.679 develop new kinds of businesses than existed before. And that's 1:35:03.720 --> 1:35:06.840 one of the critical things that it's our job as 1:35:07.000 --> 1:35:11.799 leaders to convey to people. It's a new day. Social 1:35:12.000 --> 1:35:15.400 justice is now the reality. We can now for the 1:35:15.560 --> 1:35:18.200 first time, think about it. For the first time. We 1:35:18.439 --> 1:35:22.639 can stop people from killing us. We could use things 1:35:22.720 --> 1:35:26.840 like social media to create justice where we couldn't create 1:35:27.000 --> 1:35:32.320 justice before. At the same time, businesses are fundamentally different now. 1:35:32.680 --> 1:35:37.519 The new modern black entrepreneur is very different than what 1:35:37.720 --> 1:35:41.240 we're used to seeing, and uh, you know, we have 1:35:41.360 --> 1:35:44.479 to recognize those differences. We have to build those new 1:35:44.560 --> 1:35:48.720 technology based businesses. We have to support those new technology 1:35:48.800 --> 1:35:51.800 based businesses. And that's the key to our future. We 1:35:52.000 --> 1:35:55.080 have to recognize we hit a critical inflection point right now. 1:35:55.800 --> 1:35:58.959 If we're going to be effective and participate in society, 1:35:59.240 --> 1:36:02.280 we have to become masters of technology. We ought to 1:36:02.360 --> 1:36:05.800 be social media machines. We have to be able to 1:36:05.920 --> 1:36:10.599 you know, look, politics is great, that's one aspect of power, 1:36:11.000 --> 1:36:13.599 but the power is always with the people you get 1:36:13.720 --> 1:36:17.240 you can bring fifteen million tweets down on somebody, then 1:36:17.360 --> 1:36:20.800 you can get their attention. And that's our opportunity is 1:36:21.080 --> 1:36:26.280 to use this shift in technology to create political, social, 1:36:26.479 --> 1:36:30.080 and economic power. And that's our job as leaders to 1:36:30.160 --> 1:36:32.040 inform the people of what's going on. All right, we 1:36:32.120 --> 1:36:34.599 have more with Kevin Cohee when we come back, don't move. 1:36:34.640 --> 1:36:38.120 It's the breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, 1:36:38.320 --> 1:36:41.240 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast Club. 1:36:41.600 --> 1:36:44.400 We have the founder and owner of One United Bank 1:36:44.920 --> 1:36:48.920 CEO Kevin cohe still here, Cholomagne. Imagine your question, keV. 1:36:49.040 --> 1:36:51.080 You know you're og. What do you think, um, what 1:36:51.160 --> 1:36:54.400 do you think is more important? Equality or equity? Equality 1:36:55.120 --> 1:36:59.320 or equity? Well, I think both are important and I 1:36:59.439 --> 1:37:03.080 think that they're both happening. You can think of equality 1:37:03.600 --> 1:37:08.240 as being a right that not just black people understand, 1:37:08.560 --> 1:37:11.880 but everybody understands. If you looked at the social justice movement, 1:37:11.960 --> 1:37:14.680 you looked at the riots last year, those weren't just 1:37:14.920 --> 1:37:18.439 black people out there. There was all kinds of people 1:37:18.760 --> 1:37:21.840 who were involved in the social justice movement because that 1:37:22.040 --> 1:37:26.320 was just right. People understand right from wrong. It's just now, 1:37:26.760 --> 1:37:30.720 through social media and other technology, we have the ability 1:37:31.160 --> 1:37:35.360 to exercise our social point of views. That so that's 1:37:35.400 --> 1:37:40.160 the big thing. Remember, Okay, before last year, despite everything 1:37:40.280 --> 1:37:43.240 we thought about civil rights, you know, those boys would 1:37:43.280 --> 1:37:46.240 have got away. We're killing, killing, killing my men down 1:37:46.280 --> 1:37:48.360 to South Georgia. That's the last year we've been here 1:37:48.400 --> 1:37:50.599 to sixteen nineteen. But that's why I asked the question 1:37:50.720 --> 1:37:53.080 equality equity, because it seemed like during civil rights we 1:37:53.160 --> 1:37:55.920 always was fighting for equality. But when Martin Luke King 1:37:56.000 --> 1:37:58.880 Junior wanted to pivot to that equity. Four people's marching 1:37:58.920 --> 1:38:01.679 getting that money. That's when they got them about it. Okay, 1:38:01.960 --> 1:38:05.080 well that's what I'm saying. They can't get technology out 1:38:05.280 --> 1:38:08.760 out of here. Okay, see that it's a broader based 1:38:08.840 --> 1:38:13.080 opportunity to move the masses to get equality and equity. 1:38:13.200 --> 1:38:16.040 I'm not going to choose between equality. You think about 1:38:16.439 --> 1:38:19.519 equality and equity, I gotta have both of those. You're 1:38:19.560 --> 1:38:21.599 not going to take either one of those things away 1:38:21.640 --> 1:38:24.040 from it. What are some strategies do you think would 1:38:24.080 --> 1:38:26.800 help fight the racial wealth gap? The racial wealth gap 1:38:27.360 --> 1:38:31.760 is a knowledge problem. It's understanding what you need to 1:38:31.920 --> 1:38:35.839 do and then having someone to motivate you to complete 1:38:35.840 --> 1:38:38.719 the transactions you need to complete. So it all starts 1:38:38.800 --> 1:38:42.679 with the most basic things understanding where you are today, 1:38:43.040 --> 1:38:45.880 where's your money coming from, where are you spending it, 1:38:46.840 --> 1:38:51.240 what is your financial wellness? And from that foundation of 1:38:51.400 --> 1:38:54.599 starting there in an organized way, really understanding what's going 1:38:54.640 --> 1:38:57.880 on with you now and unfortunately, you know a lot 1:38:57.920 --> 1:39:00.920 of times we don't understand how to understand where we 1:39:01.000 --> 1:39:03.960 are and then us and then working from that foundation 1:39:04.400 --> 1:39:09.360 to engage in the basic transactions that are necessary to 1:39:09.439 --> 1:39:12.519 build well like in this pandemic they you know, we 1:39:12.840 --> 1:39:16.439 have been challenged with is getting Black Americans to understand 1:39:16.479 --> 1:39:19.080 the importance of a will. I mean, you know, you know, 1:39:19.200 --> 1:39:21.880 unfortunately that's not been something that's been at the top 1:39:21.960 --> 1:39:26.000 of our agenda and something that we're working on. We're 1:39:26.040 --> 1:39:28.879 working on, and so the conveyance of that kind of information, 1:39:29.040 --> 1:39:32.280 things like insurance time like this. I mean, you know, 1:39:32.760 --> 1:39:35.360 you know, sometimes unfortunately we can learn the hard way 1:39:35.920 --> 1:39:40.360 the impact of not having basic things like insurance, things 1:39:40.400 --> 1:39:44.800 like investing, things like homeownership and understanding where to buy 1:39:44.920 --> 1:39:47.920 home we're not to buy home and how to do it. 1:39:48.400 --> 1:39:51.480 So so it's a knowledge So when you say eradicating 1:39:51.640 --> 1:39:55.000 racial wealth gap, we see that as a knowledge problem. 1:39:55.280 --> 1:39:58.759 And for us, we always go to technology to solve 1:39:58.880 --> 1:40:01.719 that kind of problem. You talked about all these wonderful 1:40:01.840 --> 1:40:05.320 podcasts that is this that work towards that. But what 1:40:05.479 --> 1:40:07.559 we try to do is we try to create an umbrella. 1:40:07.640 --> 1:40:10.200 We try to create a framework for being able to 1:40:10.320 --> 1:40:12.960 do that systematically on the national basis. Think about it, 1:40:12.960 --> 1:40:15.120 if we were working in harmony on it, where we 1:40:15.200 --> 1:40:19.599 were all thinking about okay, for real, we actually want 1:40:19.760 --> 1:40:25.559 to deliver the knowledge to Black Americas necessary to build well. 1:40:26.000 --> 1:40:28.720 And then we're gonna like, we're gonna work with the 1:40:28.920 --> 1:40:32.439 person through the entire product process of both teaching them 1:40:32.840 --> 1:40:36.240 and then motivating them to complete the act. We can 1:40:36.320 --> 1:40:39.040 do that. Now, we can actually do that. That's why 1:40:39.080 --> 1:40:41.920 I say this is such an important time. We can 1:40:42.080 --> 1:40:44.800 eradicate the welcat. But it has to That's how it 1:40:44.880 --> 1:40:46.840 has to be done. It it has it has to 1:40:47.080 --> 1:40:52.679 come from with. It needs the creativity of Charlemagne talk 1:40:52.880 --> 1:40:56.040 that we already you already gave me some great ideas 1:40:56.120 --> 1:40:58.800 just sitting here for during this interview. It needs, it 1:40:58.920 --> 1:41:01.400 needs the energy of in me. It needs it needs 1:41:01.880 --> 1:41:05.000 that kind of involvement that, you know, the kind of 1:41:05.080 --> 1:41:09.559 involvement that that will allow us as a people to say, yeah, man, 1:41:09.640 --> 1:41:13.719 I'm down with that. Okay, just like we do everything else. Okay, 1:41:13.840 --> 1:41:16.200 we want to make something hot. We know how to 1:41:16.280 --> 1:41:19.960 make things hot. We can make financial literacy hot. And 1:41:20.080 --> 1:41:22.240 the thing about that we make it where where it 1:41:22.360 --> 1:41:24.840 becomes part of our life. Where we're sitting there, we're 1:41:24.880 --> 1:41:27.479 watching the basketball game, and we say, man, you know, 1:41:27.640 --> 1:41:32.479 like what stocks do you old? Like all those podcasts 1:41:32.479 --> 1:41:34.080 I told you about that's literally what they do and 1:41:34.120 --> 1:41:37.479 they got millions and millions of followers, and which is wonderful, 1:41:37.800 --> 1:41:42.080 which is it makes an amazing opportunity. That's it. Okay, 1:41:42.439 --> 1:41:47.000 what you just describe that ability to convey financial information 1:41:47.240 --> 1:41:50.400 and to create millions of millions of followers which you 1:41:50.479 --> 1:41:55.240 can then turn into tens of millions. Okay, it's really 1:41:55.360 --> 1:42:00.680 to go, right. So technology has us on well on 1:42:00.880 --> 1:42:05.560 the way to being empowered in our society in a 1:42:05.680 --> 1:42:11.240 way that will make America better. So it's happening. There's 1:42:11.280 --> 1:42:14.719 no question that's happening. We just have to become better 1:42:15.160 --> 1:42:19.839 and more proficient and more organized and how we deliver 1:42:20.080 --> 1:42:23.519 our messages. So that's how you eradicate the racial well cappin, 1:42:23.560 --> 1:42:26.639 it's only one answer. It's not about the government. Nobody's 1:42:26.680 --> 1:42:30.880 gonna get us to us. This is about us doing 1:42:31.160 --> 1:42:34.120 what we're doing right now, okay, and by doing what 1:42:34.240 --> 1:42:37.479 we're doing right now, we can change this country. It's 1:42:37.520 --> 1:42:41.840 just knowledge we never okay, think about right now. Technology 1:42:42.120 --> 1:42:46.559 with all the corporations that the buys supplies or hiring 1:42:46.680 --> 1:42:50.679 people for new and better jobs as an example, we've 1:42:50.720 --> 1:42:54.120 never had an opportunity like this. The opportunities you can 1:42:54.240 --> 1:42:57.040 create for yourself using the using in the you don't 1:42:57.040 --> 1:43:00.800 even have to make the product anymore about it. If 1:43:00.840 --> 1:43:03.720 you look at the latest role of the billionaires, most 1:43:03.760 --> 1:43:06.760 of them don't make they don't make nothing. Okay, they 1:43:06.800 --> 1:43:10.240 don't they don't they don't make nothing. Okay. But at 1:43:10.280 --> 1:43:14.440 the same time, you know, but that's that's the wonderfulness 1:43:14.520 --> 1:43:16.920 of today. We have to get our people involved in 1:43:17.000 --> 1:43:19.000 that we got into and now it's the time. Now 1:43:19.160 --> 1:43:21.040 seize the moment, make the move.
