But good morning everybody. How are 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:29.240 you yesterday? Yesterday? Yesterday was the first day I went 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.520 to the office in twelve weeks. With the first day 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.880 I went to the office, I mean I only work 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.959 with three other people in my office. For other people 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:41.000 in my office, it was me, Fernandoze Caesar and our secretaries. Um, 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:43.200 they have been in the office in and out. I 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:45.679 haven't because I'm the one that goes and gets the 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.280 food and gets the food for my family, my mom 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:51.200 and and me, and I just didn't want to get 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.400 it give it to them. If I did have the coronavirus, uh, 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.160 I know, especially with seas, I don't know his immune system. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.240 So I was like, let me stay away. But yesterday 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:00.520 I had to go to the office. That was my 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.480 first day back to the office. What about you easy yesterday? Well, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:08.839 I want to commend somebody, Brianna Johnson. She is from 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:12.080 Brooklyn and she actually I'm part of this Hamilton committee 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.200 and you know, Lemmanuel Miranda went to my college, Wesleyan University. 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.840 So every year they do this Hamilton Prize now and 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:23.480 whoever wins gets four year full tuition scholarship to Wesleyan. 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.920 So Brianna Johnson is the person they announced as the winner, 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.200 and she was the person I had as my first 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.600 choice as well, so I want to congratulate her. She's 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:36.640 getting a four year full scholarship to Wesleyan University. She 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.160 actually did an album mixtape called Dreams to Reality, These 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.280 Change and Da Damages of Duality. She wrote these songs 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.480 in eighth and ninth grade. She was struggling to adjust 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.640 to her predominantly white school. She was one of the 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.480 only black students in her classes, and it was around 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:53.959 the same time that the shooting of Michael Brown happened, 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.880 and that's basically what she was talking about in her entry. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:02:59.600 So I thought it was very powerful. So I want 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.600 to congratulate her. That's a big deal for a year 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.360 fow to it. Yes, yeah, absolutely, you know it's funny 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.519 that you said that. Of course, if you have a 0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:08.079 senior in high school, they have to write, you know, 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.920 certain essays to colleges, and my daughter wrote an essay 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.120 similar to that, just being the only African American in 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.080 the class, black in the class and explaining how that felt, 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:19.040 and when everything was going on in the world, whether 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.760 it was Donald Trump, whether it's the shootings, how how 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:23.840 she felt like an outsider and nobody to talk to 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.560 and it felt like people were looking at her and 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:29.200 she had to write a previous essay and you know, um, 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.200 it's a serious thing. You know, it's a serious, serious thing, 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.400 and a lot of people don't understand how how that 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.200 would make their child feel. You know, sometimes you feel like, 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.040 you know, you're making a little money, you want to 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.200 put your child in a in a you think, a 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.080 better school district, and when they're in their school district, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:47.080 they feel lonely about themselves because nobody looks like them. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:52.040 So that has a lot to do with how they talk, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:54.440 how they speak, how they raise, how they moved. So 0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.080 that is a big, big thing, I know, even for myself. 0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.320 I went to Catholics. That happened to me. I went, 0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.400 I went to Saint Francis Prepp and Queens, but I 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:07.000 lived in Queens Village, in shady village with you know 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.880 what we call it, So it wasn't as bad because 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.880 even though I went there, I still had to go 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.040 back to Jamaica Avenue. I still had to go home 0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.760 and might have my friends at home. So it was 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:18.040 different for my kids, and a lot of other people's 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.000 kids they don't have that. So congratulations to her man. 0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:22.840 I'm so happy for her. Yeah, four years I was 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:25.080 saying when when I was younger, I went to school. 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.080 First of all, I'm from Flat Push in Brooklyn, and 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.000 you know that's a black neighborhood, a lot of West Indians. 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.320 And and by the way, excited for that Booge and 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.719 I mean not Booze you a bounty killer and Beanie 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.599 man versus is happening on Saturday. You know, I was 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.600 pushing booj you and Beanie. But hey, I'll take Beanie. 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.520 And I know I thought about that too, because I 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.200 actually had said on a zoom before that's a battle 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.599 I would have liked to see. But anyway, I was. 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:48.320 I grew up and I went to school. I didn't 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.920 even know any white people except for my teachers. And 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.520 then in seventh grade I went to a predominantly white school, 0:04:53.520 --> 0:04:56.360 probably Prepp in Brooklyn, and I felt so out of place, 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.520 and so I stayed there for three years. All right, 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:03.560 lam you back with us? I think so. No. Now 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.200 you said like sounds said like your volume is at two? 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.280 Why will we do this? Don't nobody say this as 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.839 soon as the show started in the mic, sounds terrible. 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:18.359 You gotta talk to you getting it? I don't know 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.080 right now? Now you sound good. I think they put 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:24.720 your volume up. I think that was up. Dumbasses in 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:27.600 the goddamn studio. Love y'all. But Jesus Christ, Well, but 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.600 Cary Sellers will be joining us this morning. My guy, 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.120 But Cary Sellers, he's got a new book out, his 0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:36.839 first book, actually My Vanishing Country. It came out of 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:39.360 a Tuesday and it's, you know, just about him growing 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.520 up in South Carolina when he ran for lieutenant governor. 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.000 Talks a lot about him and his father, him and 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:48.600 his father, Cleveland Sellers. Man. Cleveland Sellers was a radical 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.120 from South Carolina who was shot in the Orangeburg massacre. 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.400 So it's a great, great story. All South Carolina stories 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.720 must be told. That's my guy right there. All right, 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:00.479 but Cary Sellers will be joining the next hour. We 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.200 got front page news what we're talking about. Ye man, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.839 this is unfortunate, but a shooting that happened in Glendale, Arizona. 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:09.680 All right, we'll get into that next. Keep it locked. 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.760 This to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is cg Envy, 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.800 Angela yee, Charlomagne the guy we all the Breakfast Club. 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:20.520 Good morning. Let's get in some front page news. But 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:24.440 we're starting you well. NBA teams they're expecting guidelines for 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.600 how players will be getting back to work on June first, 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:30.360 so that's when they expect the league will call back 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.520 players who have left their home markets, and also that 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:35.840 same day to represent a point in which they can 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.640 also ratchet up the intensity for workouts for players who 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.560 already are going to team facilities. So you can look 0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:46.599 forward to either Orlando, Florida at Disney World or Las Vegas. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.320 Those are proposed cities for a return for players to 0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.080 be able to play their games in the future. So 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.520 did you say June Firth they're gonna have the meeting 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.480 or June Firth they're gonna start back playing. They'll not 0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:01.080 playing games, but we're talking about a ratteting up the 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:03.400 way that they work out for players that are already 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.440 working out and for other players to be called back 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.200 to come and work out. I see they had a 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:09.840 nast called yesterday, had nass called cup Race yesterday. So 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.280 I mean they opening things back up. They're like, all right, 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:18.320 let's go, all right, Armando Junior Hernandez. He went to 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:22.240 Snapchat and they're saying that he posted and it's hard 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.240 to look at him and watch this, but it was 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.000 a video that was shared on social media, and he 0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:32.680 is the man who gunned down three people in Glendale, Arizona, 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:38.240 at the Westgate Mall. So now, fortunately at this point, 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.400 nobody was killed. Three people were shot, two are expected 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:43.880 to survive, and one person was taken to a hospital 0:07:43.920 --> 0:07:47.320 in critical condition. But the police did respond to an 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:51.080 active shooter situation at the Westgate Entertainment District shopping center. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.040 And he has been identified by his mother as Armando 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:58.680 Junior Hernandez. He was taken into custody. He's twenty years 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.920 old and he attended Raymond Kellis High School. So right now, 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:07.400 that video was very disturbing, but he was showing himself 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.800 pulling up in his car saying that he was going 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:11.840 to do this shooting. He puts on a cameo face 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.640 mask and then you see him with the gun firing 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.440 off the rounds and you even see one woman who 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:20.720 was shot lying down, possibly injured, and he says society 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.840 is bullish. Well, you know that's that's that's yet another 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:30.840 reason to stay quarantined. How old twenty and right now 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.440 they do not have a motive. That's another reason to 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:38.920 stay stay socially distanced away from crowds. Yeah. I just 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:42.679 don't understand people like that. People. If you feel like 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.559 society is BS, and you know, I would rather you, 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:47.160 you know, go get help and sit down with a 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:49.760 therapist or psychiatrist. But if you feel like society is 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.600 BS and you want to hurt somebody, start with yourself. Okay, yeah, 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:57.679 gotta take out innocent people. You know, you don't want 0:08:57.679 --> 0:08:59.200 to be here no more, that's on you. But do 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.960 you know I'm gonna putting that hurt on other people. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:03.640 That's why you got That's why I would say, hurt people, 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:04.960 hurt people, and they need to sit down and talk 0:09:05.000 --> 0:09:06.640 to somebody. Oh, if you want to fight so bad, 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.079 you want to shoot people so bad, why don't you 0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.280 join the military. You can join the military that way. 0:09:10.320 --> 0:09:14.440 People like that aggression.

It keeps me going. 0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:40.160 I love listening to y'all. I'm working. I work for FedEx, 0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:44.280 and I make a lot of deliveries out here in Lexington, 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.520 North Carolina, and I just got to get it off 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:48.880 my chest about this one guy who told me to 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.200 back on his damn driveway. And it wasn't even his 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:56.200 house that I was delivering too. So first of all, 0:13:56.600 --> 0:14:00.360 the guy said, well, I pull into the driveway. He goes, Yo, 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:02.880 who are you looking for it? And I gotta step truck. 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.120 I don't know if you know what that is, but 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.120 you can walk in and out of him very easily. 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.079 And he just steps into my truck and was like, 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:11.560 who are you looking for it? And I'm like, Bro, 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:13.320 you can't step in my truck. You gotta back up 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.080 or back out. So at that point he said, or 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.680 back out of my damn driveway. Then it wasn't even 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:25.720 his house that was delivering to and what I don't 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.400 even know if he is here, right, you keep jar 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:36.600 of Craft Mayonnaise colonizer looking human specimen. And I'm gonna 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.800 just start calling colonized from home. Because Bro had no 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.960 right to step in my truck. He said he was 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.800 gonna call the police. So I was like, I'll do 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:47.600 you want further? I called him and I waited and 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:51.240 I waited and they got there and they do whatever 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.360 I got there, so nothing. Yeah, it did not. So 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.240 you know, I've been seeing you guys, been getting people, 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.560 been getting frisky with you guys the last couple of days. Man, 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:00.440 I don't know what's wrong with people. I like my 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.320 ups guy, my FedEx guy, my post office guy. My 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.880 Amazon people like, what's wrong? They delivering packages. They're doing 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.960 their job. They out there delivering is during this quarantine. 0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:12.200 Showed them a little bit of respect and we should 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.000 be grateful to that when we're waiting for our packages. 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:18.880 It's the customers like y'all to appreciate us. That makes 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.560 it even better, because it's not like we're delivering a 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:25.320 little bit of things. Everybody's oldering stuff. And I appreciate, 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:27.800 like the business. I'm grateful to have a job. So 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.440 not playing about the work. It's just that people are 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:38.480 going to interact with and they exactly no reason to be. Yeah. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.800 Then it was the same day another lady was waiting 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.320 on medicine for a husband's foot that that might fall 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.040 off for like days, and I so bad I could 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.239 have crowd.

I don't think that y'all should 0:15:56.840 --> 0:15:58.560 be going through that, but you you can't take things 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.280 personal at a time like this because this is a 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.920 very stressful time for a lot of people. You know 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:04.960 what I'm saying. A lot of people might have gotten 0:16:05.000 --> 0:16:07.000 laid off the people got people might have gotten furlough, 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:08.720 a lot of people might be grieving, you know what 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:11.280 I mean. Like a lot of anxiety is high right now, 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:14.120 depression is high. So you can't take none of that personal. 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.520 When people got an attitude, they can't take it out 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.000 on the people that's just trying to do their job. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.480 They ain't damn but trying to do their job. It happens, 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.120 is what I'm saying. You know what I mean. Hurt people, 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.720 hurt people.

We got rumors on 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.320 the way. Yes, and listen, there's still some fallout from 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:08.400 this whole fire festival. I know you all have seen 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:12.879 those documentaries by now on Netflix and Hulu, but that 0:17:13.080 --> 0:17:16.080 disastrous fire festival and now Kendall Jenner has had to 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:18.159 pay up. Yeah, people, well we'll talk about it. They 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:20.479 should have to pay no damn money back. But anyway, 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:29.879 it's the Breakfast logan Morning the Breakfast Club. She's filling 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.280 the team. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:37.440 on the Breakfast Club. Yes, Candy Birds, it has been 0:17:37.480 --> 0:17:41.440 a reveal that she is the masked singer the Night Angel. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.840 A lot of people had thought it might be her 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.920 because you know, they give you those clues, and some 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:50.439 of the clues pointed directly at her. So here's what 0:17:50.520 --> 0:18:01.359 you had to say when she won, what no excited? 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:06.080 I did what I came here to do, and that 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.600 was to be the first Oneman to ever win the 0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:12.359 Mass Singer. Your Mass Singer must come on every too much, right, 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:13.959 it must be a new It wasn't it didn't They 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.760 just reveal a winner mass singer, Like yesterday no, we 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:26.440 was in the studio and that was like what three 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:29.440 that seem She's the first Little wayne On to win. 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:33.960 So yeah, so that's such a big deal. So congratulations 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.520 to Candy Burrs. And she is on Real Housewives of Atlanta. 0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.679 And you know, people keep saying that Phaedra might be 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:43.240 returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta. Who knows. But what 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.160 we do know is that she's going to be on 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:48.000 Marriage boot Camp Hip Hop Edition. So for all of 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:50.280 you that miss her and that have been waiting for 0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:53.480 her return to television, she will be on there. So 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:56.560 get ready for that, all right. That's going to premiere 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.720 at Thursday, July second on we TV. Now, Kendall Jenner 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.760 has to repay some of her Firefest fee. That fire 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:06.000 Festival was supposed to happen in twenty seventeen. It did 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.879 not go down. Now she had to pay back ninety 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:10.879 thousand dollars, but I think the whole amount was like 0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:13.439 two hundred and seventy thousand, two hundred and seventy five 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.040 thousand that she got paid to post about the event. 0:19:16.480 --> 0:19:18.960 And a lot of her followers thought that there would 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:22.440 be all these models on an exotic private island, some 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:26.399 great culinary experiences. She also hinted that her brother in 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:30.520 law Kanye West would be performing, So because she didn't 0:19:30.560 --> 0:19:32.880 let people know that it was an ad, she now 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:35.639 has to repay some of that money. She had to 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.240 put a D in parentheses, and that's whack. Like if 0:19:39.280 --> 0:19:41.080 she did a commercial. I've seen the commercial. She did 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.400 a commercial saying that there was a festival, the Fire Festival, 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.560 and this standing other. She was promoting the Fire Festival. 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:48.639 She didn't say, you know, you know Instagram, some of 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:50.320 those sites make you do that though. That's why you 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.560 see like you'll read somebody's caption and you'll say, like, 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:57.800 ad in parentheses, have one from yesterday? Yeah, I had 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.320 to do that in a couple of days ago. Yeah. 0:19:59.320 --> 0:20:01.720 But it's just problem is that it didn't even go down. 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.359 And then they said Kanye was never going to perform 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.960 at the festival, and she kind of misled people. So 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:10.320 I thought you said that Kanye was supposed to do 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.280 a surprise performance look allegedly behind the scenes, but you know, 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.160 I don't know if there was an official contracting information 0:20:17.359 --> 0:20:20.640 and if he was supposed to come and it didn't happen. 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:22.480 You know, I was supposed to get my money back. 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.879 That's not fair. You didn't get to keep almost two 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.359 hundred thousand dollars. Guys, she didn't even have to go. 0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:31.359 And it's not like she made up her own caption right. 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.360 If her posting on her Instagram was part of the deal, 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:37.119 trust me, they sent her what to say. That was 0:20:37.160 --> 0:20:39.960 a copy and paste. I'm almost positive somebody wrote that 0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:42.399 for her. All right. Gil King has a new radio 0:20:42.480 --> 0:20:46.600 show that examines dating and relationships in the coronavirus era. 0:20:47.080 --> 0:20:49.280 She was on with Stephen Colbert and The Late Show 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:51.560 and they were talking about it. Here's what she had 0:20:51.600 --> 0:20:54.639 to say. It is COVID based. What are you learning 0:20:54.680 --> 0:20:57.920 about yourself? What are you learning about other people? How 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.000 have you changed? So it's every third Thursday, every Thursday 0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:02.639 at five. You know what I want the topic to be? 0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:06.800 Tomorrow night I meet what Thursday night? Dating in COVID 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.680 or ationships in COVID? I think either people are either 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.439 getting closer together or they're going to rip you apart 0:21:14.080 --> 0:21:17.680 trying to meet nobody damn coronavirus. She also talks about 0:21:17.680 --> 0:21:20.200 what it's like to be single while sheltering in place. Yeah, 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.639 but a lot of people are home alone and they 0:21:23.080 --> 0:21:25.639 don't want to just not meet anybody. They're still like, okay, 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:27.600 how can I find somebody? So that is something for 0:21:27.680 --> 0:21:30.600 people to think about safely, of course, without having to 0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:32.520 go out. And some people are saying it is a 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:34.879 good time to meet people because there's not that pressure 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.159 of having to meet up in person and get all 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:39.280 done up, so you really get to know somebody during 0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:42.080 this time. That's true, all right, And it's a beautiful 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.160 time to catfish the cat fish, your show, the catfish 0:21:45.200 --> 0:21:47.639 yourself down days. Beautiful time. Well, but you know a 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:49.960 lot of people are face timing or they're doing little 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:52.000 zoom dates, so you still get to see that the 0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:54.800 person is really who it's supposed to be, and you 0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:57.200 really want to connect with somebody that you never gonna 0:21:57.200 --> 0:21:59.919 meet in this time. It's not that you're never going 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:02.720 to meet them, you just what fun is that? Yeah, 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:04.159 you meet them, but it just it's not gonna be 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:06.119 for a little bit. You know, you really get to 0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:07.879 know them and to this quarantine's over, then you know, 0:22:07.960 --> 0:22:09.439 then you can meet them. I mean, I think that's 0:22:09.480 --> 0:22:12.080 greater right around Christmas, So now you got to buy 0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:14.840 Christmas gifts and all and all kind of other stuff 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:16.960 for this person. You really don't know. Look, whatever people 0:22:17.119 --> 0:22:18.600 decide they want to do at this time, if they 0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.560 still want to continue to date, we encourage you to 0:22:20.640 --> 0:22:22.960 do it, but do it safely. Have a zoom date, 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.280 have a FaceTime date, get to talk on the phone 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:28.160 to somebody and you can meet up in person. Yes, 0:22:28.240 --> 0:22:30.600 when this is all over and it's safer, and as 0:22:30.640 --> 0:22:33.359 you can see, places are starting to open up. All right, 0:22:33.440 --> 0:22:36.320 I'm Angela Yee and that is your rumor report. All right, 0:22:36.480 --> 0:22:38.600 thank you, miss Yee. Now when we come back, we 0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.119 got front page news what we're talking about, Yes, and 0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:43.920 we're going to talk about different things that Twitter is 0:22:43.960 --> 0:22:46.200 trying to do right now to make your experience a 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.480 little better. All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:52.000 locked this to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody's DJ Envy, 0:22:52.160 --> 0:22:55.359 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. 0:22:55.760 --> 0:23:02.040 Let's getting some front page news. Where we're starting me, Well, 0:23:02.119 --> 0:23:05.320 let's start with a family in Virginia. They found nearly 0:23:05.359 --> 0:23:07.680 a million dollars in cash lying in the middle of 0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:10.359 the road. Let me tell you how amazing this family 0:23:10.520 --> 0:23:11.959 is it seems like they always do the right thing. 0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:15.160 Emily Chance said she was driving with her family Saturday 0:23:15.200 --> 0:23:17.440 and she ran over what she thought was bags of 0:23:17.640 --> 0:23:19.920 trash on the road. Now, if that was you, what 0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:24.200 would you do? I what I was praying for, I 0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.320 would keeping blessing bags and trash we had time like 0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:32.440 this money they thought it was. They thought it was 0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:34.840 bags of trash on the road. They did not know 0:23:34.960 --> 0:23:37.760 it was money. So instead of just throwing it to 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:40.200 the side, they actually put the bags in the back 0:23:40.280 --> 0:23:42.200 of their pickup truck because I guess they wanted to 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:45.200 dispose of it. It wasn't until they got home that 0:23:45.280 --> 0:23:48.639 they realized that they had gotten a million dollars almost 0:23:49.240 --> 0:23:53.080 And then after that I didn't know it was a million. 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.560 They counted it well, now they knew. Afterward, after they 0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:00.680 returned the money, they actually called local deputies and told 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.119 them about their discovery because they had an address on 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.639 it that said cash ball and then an address and 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:08.639 it turned out to be almost a million dollars, so 0:24:08.680 --> 0:24:10.480 they gave it all back. So not only did they 0:24:10.520 --> 0:24:12.680 take this trash from the middle of the road and 0:24:13.280 --> 0:24:15.159 take it off the road and bring it somewhere to 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:17.320 dispose of it. They also found out it was cash 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.640 and then returned it. Guy was testing me out of fail. 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:21.960 I definitely would have failed. I've seen that bag in 0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.080 the middle of the road. Nobody around hout of thought. 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:26.200 It was a gift, I said, somebody's blessing me to day. 0:24:26.560 --> 0:24:29.680 Where did this money come from? It was the postal 0:24:29.760 --> 0:24:32.080 service was delivering it to the bank or something like that. 0:24:32.200 --> 0:24:33.920 That's what they were saying. Was supposed to be dropped 0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:36.680 off at a bank, but it was from the postal service. 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:38.760 They got insurance, they had a cash reward. Did they 0:24:38.800 --> 0:24:41.760 get something. I don't know what they got, but they 0:24:41.840 --> 0:24:43.720 said they returned it because it was the right thing 0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:47.280 to do and it didn't belong to us. And you 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:48.920 don't know it didn't belong you. You know what I'm 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:52.000 saying that God works in mysterious ways. You never know 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:54.119 how God is gonna bless you, right, We don't know 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:55.560 if you were furloughed. We don't know if he was 0:24:55.640 --> 0:24:57.119 laid off. You don't know if you got you know, 0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.840 medical bills you need to take care of. You might 0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.320 need a surgery if you rain for a blessing, don't 0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:04.159 you ask? You know, I don't question God when you 0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.720 get it. Okay, But what would you have done, Charlottage, 0:25:08.400 --> 0:25:10.040 I don't know, To be totally honest with you, I 0:25:10.040 --> 0:25:11.679 don't think I would have took it back immediately, though 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:13.199 I would have sat down and talking about that one 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:14.800 for a minute. I would have prayed again. I would 0:25:14.840 --> 0:25:17.359 have said, now, God, if this is supposed to be mine, 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:21.119 give me a sign, okay, give me a give me 0:25:21.200 --> 0:25:24.440 a sign, please. I wouldn't return that two hundred thousand 0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:32.520 dollars to turn that two nd. All right. Twitter is 0:25:32.560 --> 0:25:34.680 testing a feature that would let you decide who's allowed 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:37.199 to reply to your tweets. I've seen this, so if 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.280 you have a conversation, you can have it so that 0:25:39.440 --> 0:25:43.879 only people that are added at mention can respond, or 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.520 only people that can that follow you can respond, or 0:25:46.560 --> 0:25:49.160 you can leave it open for everybody. So I think 0:25:49.200 --> 0:25:52.480 that's a good feature. I like that because sometimes people 0:25:52.520 --> 0:25:54.200 can be disrespectful, so you can be like, you know what, 0:25:54.320 --> 0:25:56.959 you're not allowed to respond. All right, now, let's talk 0:25:57.000 --> 0:26:00.800 about what's opening back up. The Connecticut govern has outlined 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:03.400 the next phases for reopening that state, so phase two 0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.439 of their reopening is slated for June twentieth, more than 0:26:06.520 --> 0:26:10.080 half of California is moving further into reopening. North Carolina 0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.639 tomorrow will allow dine in eating. They'll also be opening 0:26:13.720 --> 0:26:18.040 up here in Neil Salon's barbershops, churches, and pools. So yes, 0:26:18.119 --> 0:26:20.680 if you're in North Carolina, you'll be able to do 0:26:20.800 --> 0:26:25.200 that starting tomorrow. Other places in Iowa, the governor announced 0:26:25.240 --> 0:26:28.960 the next wave of reopenings, which is movie theater, zoos, aquariums, museums, 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:32.200 and wedding reception venues tomorrow. New York will now allow 0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:35.879 religious gatherings of up to ten people starting today. And 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:38.720 they've also unveiled this plan to address seniors and nursing 0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:42.560 homes during the pandemic. Now, let's talk about in Toronto. 0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:46.280 They're going to be reopening amenities like basketball courts, picnic 0:26:46.359 --> 0:26:48.560 shelters in hundreds of parks and that is going to 0:26:48.640 --> 0:26:51.080 be reopening this week. So they're saying, if we are 0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.760 opening up the parks and we're opening up sports facilities, 0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:59.000 then there will be physical distancing rules. Also, you can't 0:26:59.080 --> 0:27:01.960 have organized sports right now, so you're not allowed to. 0:27:02.080 --> 0:27:05.520 You you can play basketball park, it just can't be 0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.000 organized like. It can't be like a five on five game. 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:11.920 You can probably go and shoot around yourself. They put 0:27:11.960 --> 0:27:14.119 the people gonna be like, let's play it three on 0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:18.480 three or four or four or five five. The stories 0:27:18.920 --> 0:27:20.480 I never I hate any of these stories. I feel 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:22.679 even worse than worse for the goddamn graduates who got 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.720 to graduate virtually or they can play basketball. It makes 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:29.439 no sense, Like it really makes no sense. You can 0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:31.240 find a way to social distance with everything else, but 0:27:31.320 --> 0:27:36.719 not a graduation, Like it's really stupid. It is, all right, 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:38.760 well a lot of people are just a laying graduation, 0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.679 so it's not like it won't happen at all, right, man, 0:27:41.760 --> 0:27:45.120 if people they having virtual graduations today and play in Georgia, 0:27:45.480 --> 0:27:51.440 they having virtual graduations today, so uh well, anyway, that's 0:27:51.480 --> 0:27:54.159 just some of your updates. How much Georgia point. Definitely 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:56.560 crazy in Georgia, especially being at Georgia been over for 0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.919 a couple of weeks. They having virtual graduations. For how 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:02.520 you can't have a day party and you can't have 0:28:02.840 --> 0:28:05.680 parties and then these kids can't graduate. Man, it makes 0:28:05.720 --> 0:28:10.159 no priorities a mess up? Man, would you say, but 0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:13.560 would you feel okay with letting your kids go to graduation? Right? 0:28:13.600 --> 0:28:16.800 Now too. Yeah, absolutely, they just gotta keep you hear it? 0:28:17.440 --> 0:28:21.920 Did you hear everything? You just said everything, because you 0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:24.640 guys have been saying this whole time that you wouldn't 0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.680 want your kids going back to school right now, you 0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.960 wouldn't want them doing certain things. So that's why I'm asking. 0:28:29.359 --> 0:28:31.359 Just because it's open doesn't mean you're going to do 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:36.280 it right. It was graduation, graduate away. Yeah, school is 0:28:36.320 --> 0:28:38.000 you gotta go class to class, They gotta clean. This 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.040 is one time thing six feet away. Well you know 0:28:41.120 --> 0:28:44.120 all angles. Yeah, I would let my daughter graduate. Everybody. 0:28:44.200 --> 0:28:46.320 Everybody can wear a mask. You can do it outside 0:28:46.560 --> 0:28:49.520 like there's a lot of different ways according to you 0:28:49.600 --> 0:28:52.600 know CDC guideline on how to socially social distance that 0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:55.520 you could do a properly social distance. Graduation doesn't matter 0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.920 how big the school is. I don't know if you 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:02.400 do it outside. No school got football field and tracks 0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:03.760 and all kinds of stuff. They could do it on. 0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:08.320 All right, Well that is your front page news now. 0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:11.760 When we come back from South Carolina, Bacary Sellers will 0:29:11.760 --> 0:29:14.400 be joining us.

Great read, 0:30:08.640 --> 0:30:11.640 amazing read. Thank you so much, brother, I'm so excited 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:15.280 about it. It was a you may know this, but 0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.360 I got turned down by nearly thirty publishers for trying 0:30:18.400 --> 0:30:20.600 to write a book about Yeah, I was trying to 0:30:20.600 --> 0:30:22.880 write a political book in the age of Trump, and 0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:25.240 none of the publishers wanted to buy it. I sat 0:30:25.280 --> 0:30:28.080 down with Tracy Sharad and Patrick Bass over at Amistad, 0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:31.520 a HarperCollins imprint and told him my story, and they said, 0:30:31.560 --> 0:30:35.640 you gotta, you gotta write this book, and here here 0:30:35.680 --> 0:30:37.479 it is. So I'm just thankful for everybody out there 0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:40.479 who is in this quarantine period and has a project 0:30:40.560 --> 0:30:42.760 and they've been turned down. Just keep persevering. That happens 0:30:42.760 --> 0:30:46.600 to the best of us. How long I'm sorry, yeah, 0:30:46.600 --> 0:30:48.479 how long has he been writing a book? I got 0:30:48.560 --> 0:30:50.320 this done in four to five months. And crazy part 0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.160 about it is the book's not really partisan. It's a 0:30:52.200 --> 0:30:54.720 political book. We talk about the systemic injustices the black 0:30:54.760 --> 0:30:57.960 folk lived through, but it doesn't talk about Democrat versus Republican. 0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:00.920 The reason I had to finish it quickly is because 0:31:00.960 --> 0:31:02.720 I'm sure y'all are gonna have a guest this fall. 0:31:03.360 --> 0:31:06.880 The big dog, Barack Obama's book comes out in the fall, 0:31:07.080 --> 0:31:09.160 and so everybody's trying to get their books out now 0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:14.640 so they don't happen, because it'll be over this fall. Over. 0:31:15.480 --> 0:31:18.320 Let's be clear, President Obama is not coming here, Okay, 0:31:18.360 --> 0:31:22.600 President Obama is not stopping by the breath. He's gonna 0:31:22.640 --> 0:31:24.440 do exactly what Michelle did. He gonna send it in 0:31:24.480 --> 0:31:27.920 a nice, pretty box with a card that says thank you, Charlomagne. 0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.840 You know that's what that's what task gonna be. I 0:31:30.880 --> 0:31:33.479 thought it was refreshing to see what a positive impact 0:31:33.560 --> 0:31:37.040 your father actually had on your life from a young age. Yeah. 0:31:37.120 --> 0:31:40.400 You know, my father was shot February eight, nineteen sixty eight, 0:31:40.440 --> 0:31:43.280 in the Orangework massacre. And I tell people it's I mean, 0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:45.240 it's it's rare. I do believe you to be able 0:31:45.240 --> 0:31:47.200 to come downstairs and in the kitchen have your hero 0:31:47.480 --> 0:31:51.000 there all the time, and um, you know, just looking 0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:53.280 back on their struggles, my father was shot. My father 0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:55.920 went to prison not once, but twice. He went to 0:31:56.000 --> 0:31:58.160 prison the first time for refusing to go to Vietnam. 0:31:58.880 --> 0:32:01.000 He went to prison the second time for being an 0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.400 outside agitator they deemed him to be. They charged them 0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:06.200 and tried to mean convicted them of rioting. He's the 0:32:06.280 --> 0:32:08.160 first and only one man riot in the history of 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:10.480 this country. But you know, I tell people that the 0:32:10.520 --> 0:32:13.400 trauma that people of color lived through in this country, 0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:16.160 not only was my father arrested. But you think about 0:32:16.160 --> 0:32:19.640 the fact that my mom had to while her husband 0:32:20.040 --> 0:32:23.080 was in prison, She had to give birth to my sister, 0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:27.720 her oldest child, and then lived with that and carry 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.080 a family. My father had a felony. Imagine having a 0:32:30.120 --> 0:32:33.080 felony in the South during the sixties and seventies, and 0:32:33.200 --> 0:32:35.320 so just living through all of that trauma. And when 0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:37.040 I look at my dad today, I you know, if 0:32:37.160 --> 0:32:39.560 I don't pop like they once did, his should, his 0:32:39.680 --> 0:32:41.800 arm as upright as they once were, and you can 0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.080 see the burden that he's had to carry his entire life. 0:32:45.120 --> 0:32:47.440 Henry Smith, Samuel Hammond, and dellan On Middleton would kill 0:32:48.000 --> 0:32:49.840 I'm in arrange word South Carolina and he creay the 0:32:49.880 --> 0:32:52.640 South Carolina. This country only blame my father. And so 0:32:53.320 --> 0:32:55.240 this book is a love story to him. It's a 0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.200 love story to the South, it's a love story of 0:32:58.240 --> 0:33:00.720 black women. But it's also a chile lenging story to 0:33:00.800 --> 0:33:03.480 this country to be a more perfect union. You know, 0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:06.760 when we talk about generational trauma, and you know, based 0:33:06.800 --> 0:33:09.440 on what happened to your father in the Orangeburg massacre, 0:33:09.920 --> 0:33:13.440 you know, how do you not hate police officers? Well, 0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.240 I don't hate them. I a I have a healthy 0:33:17.360 --> 0:33:19.680 sphere of them. You know, my parents when I was 0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:21.719 growing up, my dad, I think if I'm the Summer's experience. 0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:23.280 We never pulled over on the side of the road 0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:26.720 and at night, ever, you always drove to the next exit. 0:33:26.840 --> 0:33:30.560 You always drove until you know you could find some light. 0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:34.080 My father was always saying that, you know, make sure 0:33:34.120 --> 0:33:36.280 that you listen. We can cite these injustices in the 0:33:36.320 --> 0:33:38.840 court of law because he knew what happened. I mean, 0:33:38.920 --> 0:33:41.880 he knew that for eight seconds law enforcement shot into 0:33:41.920 --> 0:33:44.840 a group of students who were just protesting segregation, and 0:33:45.000 --> 0:33:47.560 eight seconds to change live, eight seconds to kill three 0:33:47.560 --> 0:33:50.080 at wounded twenty eight. And so that's that. Those were 0:33:50.120 --> 0:33:52.280 the lessons that we grew up with. And I'm trying 0:33:52.280 --> 0:33:54.959 to grow out of hate. I do have a lot 0:33:55.040 --> 0:33:57.960 of hate in my heart. It's aspirational for me, but 0:33:58.280 --> 0:34:00.440 I'm working on my journey. I'm talking a bit Jake's 0:34:00.480 --> 0:34:02.840 and Tyler Perry and others, and just trying to let 0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:04.880 all of that resentment and hate go because it's hard 0:34:04.920 --> 0:34:06.640 to live and be a father and be a husband 0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:09.600 while you're still out here trying to hate people. Yeah, 0:34:09.680 --> 0:34:12.440 you know when when we talk about your father, Cleveland Sellers, 0:34:12.480 --> 0:34:14.479 the Armsburg mascot, that was the first time in history 0:34:14.560 --> 0:34:18.440 that police officers face the federal trial for excessive use 0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:23.200 of force, right, Yeah, and they all were found not guilty. Yeah, 0:34:23.840 --> 0:34:26.040 but we still see that happen so much today. And 0:34:26.440 --> 0:34:28.359 you're an attorney, like, how do we as black people 0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:31.520 ever get justice in the court of law? So, I 0:34:31.560 --> 0:34:33.560 mean at the people ask me what do I want 0:34:33.560 --> 0:34:35.880 out of my life? And I think that the I 0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:38.120 think envy. You get this too. You know, all we 0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:40.400 want is our children to be free. I mean, at 0:34:40.440 --> 0:34:42.080 the end of the day, I don't want my children 0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:45.160 to have to suffer from injustices because of who they love, 0:34:45.239 --> 0:34:46.680 the color of their skin, or who they pray to. 0:34:47.560 --> 0:34:48.759 And I want them to be free. And we're not 0:34:48.800 --> 0:34:50.960 there yet. I mean, it's it's a it takes more 0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:53.400 of us, more people going it, more black poke on benches, 0:34:53.440 --> 0:34:55.680 on federal benches. That's why this election is so important 0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.200 because what Donald Trump has done to federal benches in 0:34:58.239 --> 0:35:01.040 this country is something that people have they don't save 0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:03.400 and it's not their first thought. But he's reformed the 0:35:03.640 --> 0:35:06.600 entire judiciary. You got all these young white boys who 0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:10.040 are sitting on benches with lifetime and appointments, who are 0:35:10.080 --> 0:35:13.280 more conservative and less qualified that you can ever imagine, 0:35:13.520 --> 0:35:16.120 and they're going to dictate how justice has served in 0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:19.480 this country for not just four years, but for decade 0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:22.279 upon decade. And so it takes more more young people 0:35:22.320 --> 0:35:24.640 going into law, more young people going to politics, more 0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:27.520 young people coming into the system to reform the system 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.080 and break it down. I was going to ask you, 0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:30.680 what do you what do you teach your kids? I mean, 0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:32.919 with everything that your dad's been through and you've been through, 0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:34.800 and you kind of want them to live kind of 0:35:34.880 --> 0:35:38.320 a normal life where they're not fearful of policing, you know, 0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:41.200 So what is your explanation and what are you teaching them? 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:44.200 It's crazy. So I have sixteen month old twins. You 0:35:44.280 --> 0:35:46.839 might hear one or two of them running around here 0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.359 at any moment. And then I have a fourteen year 0:35:49.400 --> 0:35:51.120 old daughter. And my fourteen year old daughter she just 0:35:51.920 --> 0:35:54.080 she just started taking her driving class man, so she's 0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:56.560 about to have a permit. So if you're any Carolinas, 0:35:56.600 --> 0:35:58.319 just stuff, if you see her, just just get off 0:35:58.360 --> 0:36:00.279 the road to see it out the way it out. 0:36:00.320 --> 0:36:02.719 The way. Yeah, and I'm about to start to go 0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:05.200 fund me for this insurance. Good God. Putting the children 0:36:05.239 --> 0:36:08.799 on yours goes up easy. But you know, I tell 0:36:08.840 --> 0:36:13.080 them to always be unapologetic about your blackness, standing your truth, 0:36:13.520 --> 0:36:16.200 and always think critically. Try not to let your emotions 0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:19.200 consume you. If you're pulled over and you feel like 0:36:19.239 --> 0:36:21.840 it's an injustice, we will fight that injustice in a 0:36:21.920 --> 0:36:24.279 different venue. What you tell your kids, because you've got 0:36:24.320 --> 0:36:26.200 you got kids out, they're driving and doing all types 0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:28.200 of well, you know what, you know, my dad is 0:36:28.440 --> 0:36:31.480 a retired police officer, So you know the two things 0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:33.320 my dad always taught me was one of the police 0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.680 and not your friends. So make sure you understand that 0:36:35.760 --> 0:36:37.200 the police and not your friends. If they're asking you 0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:39.680 questions and they're trying to get information from you, shut up. 0:36:39.719 --> 0:36:41.520 The police, not your friends. And then also, and the 0:36:41.600 --> 0:36:43.520 second thing is kind of what you just said, My 0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:45.839 dad said, you cannot win in the streets. Get home, 0:36:45.920 --> 0:36:47.440 and we can win in the courtroom. We can win 0:36:47.560 --> 0:36:49.680 outside of that. So when you're dealing with police out 0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:51.960 there and there's a prominents a situation, just remember you 0:36:52.040 --> 0:36:55.239 cannot win on those streets. Like it's the it's their game. 0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.359 That's true. But you can't win in the courtroom either. 0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:01.040 But at least you're alive in the courtroom, U brother. 0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:03.080 But for everybody, listen and let me just tell y'all 0:37:03.800 --> 0:37:06.040 what you said. What you said is so true. Man, 0:37:06.520 --> 0:37:08.560 they're not your friends. And so I see part too 0:37:08.600 --> 0:37:11.040 many people they're given police there. I know this isn't 0:37:11.040 --> 0:37:14.480 on topic, but giving police their phones, you know, cooperating 0:37:14.560 --> 0:37:17.360 and trying to talk their kind of situations. And let 0:37:17.440 --> 0:37:19.480 me just tell y'all that never worked. All we got 0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:21.839 more with Bacari Sellers. When we come back, don't move. 0:37:21.880 --> 0:37:24.480 It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning, when everybody is DJ 0:37:25.000 --> 0:37:28.719 Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast 0:37:28.880 --> 0:37:31.560 Club were still kicking with Bacari Sellers. He has a 0:37:31.640 --> 0:37:34.880 new book called My Vanishing Country. Yee o, Karry, what 0:37:34.960 --> 0:37:36.400 would you say one of your kids wanted to go 0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:39.160 into law enforcement? Oh? I would let them do whatever 0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:41.000 they want to do, as long as they were dreaming 0:37:41.000 --> 0:37:43.279 about being the chief of police or the head of 0:37:43.320 --> 0:37:45.680 the FBI. I want my kids to always dream about 0:37:45.800 --> 0:37:49.080 being the best. I want my kids to do anything 0:37:49.160 --> 0:37:51.840 I want them to be change agents. So so whatever 0:37:52.000 --> 0:37:54.480 whatever profession you go in, make sure that you are 0:37:54.600 --> 0:37:57.040 becoming a part of something larger than yourself. You talk 0:37:57.040 --> 0:38:00.560 about your kids about HBCUs. How important are hbc using 0:38:00.920 --> 0:38:03.200 as far as your kids are. Are you gonna kid 0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:05.720 cars that the twins have to go to an HPC 0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:09.080 I tried. I only brought I brought my kids the 0:38:09.200 --> 0:38:13.719 only run regular school, the rest with HBCUs. I went 0:38:13.800 --> 0:38:17.320 to the Spellman's, the Clocks, the Hamptons, the Howards. I 0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:19.920 went to all HBCUs. My daughter's like, now, I want 0:38:19.960 --> 0:38:21.360 to stay close to New York. I want to go 0:38:21.400 --> 0:38:23.200 to college in New York, and there's no HBCUs to 0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.759 New York. My kids can go to any college they 0:38:25.840 --> 0:38:28.200 want to go to as long as it's an HBCU. 0:38:28.840 --> 0:38:30.520 That's the same thing my parents told me. Now, I 0:38:30.560 --> 0:38:34.800 want my kids, my my my my stepdaughter, her father's 0:38:34.880 --> 0:38:37.040 Vince Carter, and her mom and my wife went to 0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:40.640 North Carolina. So she's between North Carolina, North Carolina and 0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:42.800 Howard right now. So I got I got a fifty 0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.080 percent chance on that when the twins though, the twins 0:38:45.160 --> 0:38:46.799 going down to the AUC, they're gonna go to South 0:38:46.880 --> 0:38:48.960 Carolina State of clapland we're gonna do all of those 0:38:49.040 --> 0:38:51.040 things that I just think that experience and I talk 0:38:51.040 --> 0:38:53.440 about it in the book, and that experience is necessary 0:38:53.719 --> 0:38:57.120 beachause your leadership and not only helps you have dreams 0:38:57.160 --> 0:39:00.279 and understand that you can compete anywhere, um, but I 0:39:00.400 --> 0:39:02.680 think it just gives you this belief and reaffirmation in 0:39:02.760 --> 0:39:04.560 who you are as a black person. One thing that 0:39:04.640 --> 0:39:07.520 immediately stands out I should stand out to people when 0:39:07.840 --> 0:39:11.000 reading your book, My Vanishing Country is the black working 0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:14.680 class in America. Why does it seem like that sector 0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:18.000 of America has been forgotten? Well, I mean when you 0:39:18.160 --> 0:39:19.880 hear and the media does it all the time. Man, 0:39:19.920 --> 0:39:23.479 when you hear about rural America or you hear about 0:39:23.480 --> 0:39:26.280 working class America, everybody makes you think that means white American. 0:39:26.800 --> 0:39:29.480 You know, this is about giving people. This book is 0:39:29.520 --> 0:39:32.239 about giving the black folk a voice. I want people 0:39:32.280 --> 0:39:34.480 to have a sense of pride when they read this book, 0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:36.560 and I want white folks to get a sense of understanding. 0:39:36.920 --> 0:39:38.680 You know. One of the things that Bishop Jake's told 0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:41.120 me when we were having our conversation is that it's 0:39:41.160 --> 0:39:43.319 crazy because you can teach people science. You can teach 0:39:43.360 --> 0:39:46.040 people math, you can teach people English, but you can't 0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:49.520 teach people blackness. And so I want when white folk 0:39:49.560 --> 0:39:51.120 read this book, I want them to get a sense 0:39:51.160 --> 0:39:52.920 of understanding. And I think we'll have a sense of 0:39:53.000 --> 0:39:55.480 pride from reading him. Yeah, that was a good conversation 0:39:55.520 --> 0:39:57.600 with a bishop TV Jakes. I was watching his sermon 0:39:57.680 --> 0:39:59.080 on Sunday. What actually made me go to it? I 0:39:59.120 --> 0:40:00.880 saw it on your IG, but I didn't get a 0:40:01.000 --> 0:40:02.040 chance to go to it. But I was watching this 0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.040 sermon Sunday. He ran a whole goddamn promo for a 0:40:05.120 --> 0:40:09.520 conversation with you and him. Before you know, I go 0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:11.399 to I end up because you know, I talked about 0:40:11.440 --> 0:40:13.160 this as well. Last year was such a hard year 0:40:13.200 --> 0:40:16.800 for me. Man um in giving birth in January, almost 0:40:16.840 --> 0:40:19.520 lost my wife. She m she bled out, she lost 0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:22.600 seven units of blood. And um, you know, when we 0:40:22.719 --> 0:40:24.200 when I talk about these issues in the book, the 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:27.560 political overlay is that whether or not you're you know, 0:40:27.719 --> 0:40:31.280 Ellen Sellers, or whether or not you are Serena Williams, 0:40:32.200 --> 0:40:34.799 or you're on medicaid, black women are four times more 0:40:34.880 --> 0:40:38.000 likely to die during childbirths than their white peers, And 0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:41.279 so you know, I'm sitting there and at about five 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:44.759 twenty eight, totally born. Five thirty three, Sadie's born. By 0:40:44.840 --> 0:40:48.240 ten o'clock, my wife is throwing up, she's she's sweating. 0:40:48.600 --> 0:40:51.560 We pull the sheets back. It's blood everywhere. The nurses 0:40:51.600 --> 0:40:54.160 are moving so slow. I have to call her doctors 0:40:54.239 --> 0:40:56.279 myself on the cell phone. I know them. It's three 0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.920 black women, badass black women. They get out of bed, 0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:01.640 they come, They take my wife in a crash part. 0:41:01.719 --> 0:41:04.759 They bring the whole emergency team in, and then my 0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.239 wife goes in ICU. They locked the floor down. I'm 0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:08.759 the only person up there, and they give me these 0:41:08.800 --> 0:41:11.279 little bitty bottles with nipples. And then all of a 0:41:11.320 --> 0:41:13.920 sudden have to become my children's mom too. And so 0:41:14.040 --> 0:41:15.880 I'm sitting there and you know that prayer that you 0:41:16.120 --> 0:41:18.600 it's like, it's like a college prayer, but what it's 0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:20.440 like when you wake up on Saturday morning and you're real, 0:41:20.520 --> 0:41:22.279 real drunk and you don't feel good, and you like, 0:41:22.480 --> 0:41:24.640 dear God, get me out of this. I promise you 0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:29.480 got again. Yeah, I was taking that prayer like, Dear God, 0:41:29.520 --> 0:41:31.719 whatever it is, I'll never do, just bring my wife 0:41:31.760 --> 0:41:33.840 back to the first thirty six hours my wife was 0:41:34.040 --> 0:41:36.560 in ICU and we literally had to take the kids 0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:39.200 down in a little bubble to go see her. And 0:41:39.280 --> 0:41:42.560 then two months later, my daughter was diagnosed with Billy 0:41:42.560 --> 0:41:45.040 area TREESA, which is a rare liver disease, and for 0:41:45.200 --> 0:41:47.960 ninety three days she was on the liver transplant list. 0:41:48.080 --> 0:41:51.120 And so every day you're watching she was really skinny, 0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:53.719 but had this big belly, and she was yellow and 0:41:53.800 --> 0:41:55.839 every time she peeked, it was like this really dark 0:41:55.920 --> 0:41:58.600 yellow color. And every day she's just dying right in 0:41:58.680 --> 0:42:00.120 front of your eyes, and you just hope and you 0:42:00.160 --> 0:42:01.839 get a phone call and get a new deliver before 0:42:01.880 --> 0:42:04.879 your daughter passes away. Ellen's laying in bed and we're 0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:06.960 trying to be strung, and she'll ask a question like 0:42:08.120 --> 0:42:10.240 did God give us Adie just to take her away? 0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:12.200 And so we went through all of that, and that 0:42:12.239 --> 0:42:14.759 said some first, she got to gift of life and 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:16.719 she's been doing she's thriving, you know it really well 0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:19.640 since and then I saw Bishop Jakes at Tyler Perry's house. 0:42:19.800 --> 0:42:21.800 I was sitting there eating with my good friend Andrew 0:42:21.800 --> 0:42:24.839 Gillam and my friend Charlemagne and Angela. We were hanging 0:42:24.880 --> 0:42:27.600 out and then I saw Bishop Jakeson, ran up to 0:42:27.680 --> 0:42:29.520 him and talk to him and just just him and 0:42:29.600 --> 0:42:31.960 Tyler just cried on the shoulder and then so much 0:42:32.800 --> 0:42:35.279 And since then, you know, they've been there and the 0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.200 brothers have been there to kind of lift me up 0:42:37.360 --> 0:42:40.239 and renourish and refill my spirit because sometimes after you 0:42:40.320 --> 0:42:42.000 go through moments like that, as strong as you have 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:44.279 to be for your family, you need other people to 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:46.080 be there for you. I talked about that in this book, 0:42:46.120 --> 0:42:48.839 that going through trauma, it's okay to talk to other 0:42:48.880 --> 0:42:51.680 people because if you're not healthy, you can't be healthy 0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:53.759 for those around you. So and thank y'all for the 0:42:53.840 --> 0:42:56.560 operators too.

Well, my book to 0:46:32.600 --> 0:46:39.279 you probably just came in a FedEx envelope. I had 0:46:39.320 --> 0:46:41.480 the advanced copy with the didn't you have a cover 0:46:41.800 --> 0:46:44.560 or nothing? But but I want you to know you 0:46:44.800 --> 0:46:46.560 look at the dope picture us here. It has a 0:46:46.640 --> 0:46:48.719 picture of me from six years old. And then I 0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.920 got Charlotte, Hillary and Angela Ry on the back of it. Man, 0:46:52.000 --> 0:46:54.080 So we just I'm happy, man, I'm happy to be 0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:55.759 able to give a voice to tell the story. I 0:46:55.840 --> 0:46:58.759 talked about Charleston and Charleston massacre in the book Um, 0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:00.920 all the trauma that I lived through the successes of 0:47:01.000 --> 0:47:04.480 being the youngest black UM legislator in the country. But 0:47:04.600 --> 0:47:06.200 at the end of the day, I just talk about 0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:09.120 understanding people's trauma. So maybe we can have some compassion 0:47:09.160 --> 0:47:12.799 and empathy and persevere to this thing together. And one 0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:14.880 of my favorite chapters of so, one of my favorite 0:47:14.920 --> 0:47:18.279 chapters of his anxiety is my superpower. Yeah, man, it's 0:47:18.280 --> 0:47:20.799 a black man's superpower. I got this fear of death 0:47:21.080 --> 0:47:23.719 and fear of failure, and so I use as those 0:47:23.760 --> 0:47:26.640 things to push me every single day. Lease irrational series, Man, 0:47:26.800 --> 0:47:30.000 I'm those You know sometimes you get this feeling in 0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:33.160 your chest or you get I call it getting getting 0:47:33.200 --> 0:47:35.239 lost in my head and you're like, oh my god, 0:47:35.400 --> 0:47:37.680 I don't want this to happen before I can finish 0:47:38.960 --> 0:47:41.360 succeeding or doing this or making my family. And so 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:43.319 I just talk. Most black men only think they can 0:47:43.400 --> 0:47:45.479 talk to their barbers, but we got to start talking 0:47:45.520 --> 0:47:48.359 to people who do. So what are your thoughts about 0:47:48.440 --> 0:47:50.960 this upcoming election? What are your predictions on what you 0:47:51.040 --> 0:47:53.239 think is going to happen? Man? I came on the 0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:55.920 show last year, year before last and predicted, well, no, 0:47:56.000 --> 0:47:58.040 in twenty sixteen and predicted to Hillary Clinton was gonna 0:47:58.040 --> 0:47:59.200 be president. So I don't know if y'all really know. 0:47:59.280 --> 0:48:02.600 You don't want to give us addition. You don't want 0:48:02.600 --> 0:48:05.919 to protict the opposite. You weren't wrong, though you weren't 0:48:05.960 --> 0:48:11.120 technically wrong popular vote. But she ain't had to work 0:48:11.200 --> 0:48:14.480 extremely hard to get Illy on y'all show. We're working 0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:18.160 extremely hard to get Biden on y'all show. So I 0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:20.759 think that that's necessary. We're gonna make that happen. But 0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:22.920 I think that Joe Biden's gonna win this race. I 0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:25.719 think that it's gonna be extremely close. I think we 0:48:25.840 --> 0:48:29.120 have new swing states like Arizona. I think that we 0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:31.000 gotta there. We gotta do two things. One, I think 0:48:31.040 --> 0:48:33.160 he has to have a black woman on the ticket 0:48:33.480 --> 0:48:35.879 because black people are gonna vote, don't that's my trip. 0:48:35.960 --> 0:48:37.799 Black women are gonna vote. They're gonna vote for him. 0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:40.160 But what you want them to do is not only vote, 0:48:40.200 --> 0:48:41.680 but you want them to make sure that they own 0:48:41.719 --> 0:48:44.520 them phones, that they're getting everybody from the church to vote, 0:48:44.560 --> 0:48:47.120 that they getting their cousins who just come over, who 0:48:47.200 --> 0:48:48.600 they get played for it, who come over to the 0:48:48.640 --> 0:48:50.879 cookout to vote. You want them to actually go out 0:48:50.920 --> 0:48:52.880 and work, because if it's not a black woman on 0:48:52.960 --> 0:48:54.880 that ticket, I'm afraid that they just gonna kind of 0:48:55.000 --> 0:48:57.680 chill out and not do anything. But two, they got 0:48:57.760 --> 0:48:59.920 to talk to black men, and for a long period 0:48:59.920 --> 0:49:03.040 of time, the Democratic Party has not messaged to black men. 0:49:03.080 --> 0:49:05.759 Thirteen said of black men voted for Donald Trump, some 0:49:05.880 --> 0:49:07.799 of it was massogyny, some of it's because we're kind 0:49:07.840 --> 0:49:11.520 of simple, but other the other part was that there 0:49:11.640 --> 0:49:13.560 was no other message in there and at least Donald 0:49:13.600 --> 0:49:16.200 Trump talks the black men. I don't believe that BS. 0:49:16.320 --> 0:49:18.080 Most of y'all don't believe that BS, but there are 0:49:18.280 --> 0:49:20.399 some of our friends do. And if it's the only 0:49:20.560 --> 0:49:23.799 message there that they hear, then there would be more 0:49:23.840 --> 0:49:25.759 receptive And so we have to fill that void with 0:49:25.800 --> 0:49:27.400 a positive message. You can't just go out here and 0:49:27.440 --> 0:49:29.799 tell people that you would not Donald Trump. You got 0:49:29.880 --> 0:49:32.360 to give you some people of reasons to vote for you. 0:49:32.920 --> 0:49:35.600 Why do you think this country's vanishing? Because I see 0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:37.960 it with my eyes. I mean where we grew up 0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:40.719 Moss Corner in Denmark, South Carolina. What used to be 0:49:40.800 --> 0:49:45.319 bubbling economy's upward mobility for people of color are now 0:49:45.440 --> 0:49:48.960 the small towns, the downtowns are now boarded up. Where 0:49:48.960 --> 0:49:51.360 I'm from, you live in a food desert where you 0:49:51.760 --> 0:49:54.240 don't have fresh fruits and vegetables, you don't have access 0:49:54.360 --> 0:49:57.680 to quality care, you're drinking dirty water, you're inhaling unclean air. 0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.880 So yeah, it's vanishing. And then larger scale, Um, I 0:50:02.000 --> 0:50:05.040 think that what this country has promised us man um. 0:50:05.719 --> 0:50:08.759 But the promises that, by the way, it's kind of crazy. 0:50:08.840 --> 0:50:11.600 My book came out on Malcolm X's birthday. But the 0:50:12.040 --> 0:50:16.560 the things that Malcolm X and mart Luther King Junior, 0:50:16.840 --> 0:50:19.759 and my father and SOCII car Mincaele and Maryon Burry 0:50:19.800 --> 0:50:23.120 and Julian Vaughn all pushed this country, those promises, they 0:50:23.160 --> 0:50:26.560 pushed this country to fulfill. I feel like in this 0:50:26.719 --> 0:50:29.520 era that we're living in now, those things are those 0:50:29.560 --> 0:50:31.799 things are further away from attaining than they ever were, 0:50:32.480 --> 0:50:35.200 And so I wanted to highlight that and make sure 0:50:35.280 --> 0:50:39.080 that we knew what the challenge was before us.

No, they got an audio book. 0:50:54.239 --> 0:50:56.560 They gott not audible, but they have an audio book. 0:50:56.600 --> 0:50:58.000 If you buy an audio book, they have a whole 0:50:58.000 --> 0:50:59.320 other list for that on the New York Time. So 0:50:59.400 --> 0:51:01.000 you can make that want. I want to make that one, 0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:02.640 but let me tell you, let me tell y'all real quick, well, 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:04.080 I want to make the New York Times best sellers 0:51:04.160 --> 0:51:05.680 list man, but not just to put it in my 0:51:05.760 --> 0:51:07.680 Twitter baio. But it's going there. But not just for that, 0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:13.040 but when if young black authors like myself an opportunity 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:16.000 to write, um, we have to do well so that 0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:19.960 other people have an opportunity to Charlemagne didn't fell, if 0:51:20.000 --> 0:51:23.319 Mark lamont Hill didn't do well, and Westmore didn't do well, 0:51:23.360 --> 0:51:25.800 then I wouldn't have my chance. And so it took me. 0:51:25.960 --> 0:51:28.680 It still took me thirty times to get a book deal. 0:51:28.760 --> 0:51:31.080 And so what I'm saying is I need this book 0:51:31.120 --> 0:51:32.640 to do well. We need this book to do well 0:51:32.680 --> 0:51:34.920 so that other people of color can tell their stories too. 0:51:35.000 --> 0:51:37.920 It's definitely going into Twitter bio if it happens, but 0:51:40.480 --> 0:51:42.839 I want to open up doors for other people that way. 0:51:42.880 --> 0:51:46.839 With Angela Ye writes her best selling book, We Gut 0:51:46.880 --> 0:51:52.640 It and we get together, absolutely country and give your love, 0:51:52.719 --> 0:51:54.640 to give our love to your family for us too 0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:56.880 as well. Thank you so much. I means like keep 0:51:56.960 --> 0:51:59.040 us in your prayers. Thank you all. All right, it's 0:51:59.080 --> 0:52:09.120 Bakari sellers, It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning listen, it's 0:52:09.120 --> 0:52:13.880 the Report. Yes, so the barbs are coming at Lisa 0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:16.160 Ray and Claudia Jordan and I'm not sure if they're 0:52:16.200 --> 0:52:18.880 really going at Vivica Fox. But this is all because 0:52:18.920 --> 0:52:21.840 of some comments that were made on there on Claudia 0:52:21.920 --> 0:52:25.520 Show on Fox Soul. Now, this all started because of 0:52:25.600 --> 0:52:28.560 the conversation that Usher had was Swizz where he was 0:52:28.600 --> 0:52:32.720 talking about a possible battle between Little Kim and Nicki Minaj, 0:52:32.800 --> 0:52:35.799 and Usher said that that didn't seem right because Nicki 0:52:35.880 --> 0:52:40.320 Minaj was a product of Little Kim. So here is 0:52:40.480 --> 0:52:43.000 what they discussed as far as those comments. And I 0:52:43.040 --> 0:52:45.040 don't know why the fans are getting so angry at 0:52:45.080 --> 0:52:48.000 what Usher said. Usher did not slam Nicki Minaj by 0:52:48.080 --> 0:52:49.880 saying that that is not a dish to her, but 0:52:49.920 --> 0:52:53.360 it is a fact. Little Kim came up way before 0:52:53.400 --> 0:52:55.640 her in a crew of all fellas, and she made 0:52:55.680 --> 0:52:58.520 that popular. So when we get held them together, queens 0:52:58.560 --> 0:53:01.600 and say that we are acknowledging fat, all of us 0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:05.080 are acknowledging in fact him came before Nicki Minaj. And 0:53:05.160 --> 0:53:07.320 so Nicky, just take a seat. You don't have to 0:53:07.400 --> 0:53:09.800 sit down for long, but just take a bow, just 0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:13.319 like Beyonce I said, bow down, bitches. I still don't 0:53:13.360 --> 0:53:15.400 see what the problem is. Nicki Minaj is a product 0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:17.760 a little Kim and that doesn't take away from Nicki's 0:53:17.760 --> 0:53:19.560 great And it's just like Kobe Bryant is a product 0:53:19.560 --> 0:53:22.040 of Michael Jordan, Like, what's what's the problem. I think 0:53:22.040 --> 0:53:24.759 they didn't like how Lisa Ray said for her Nicki 0:53:24.800 --> 0:53:26.759 Minaj to take a seat and just take a bow. 0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:33.680 So that's yeah, she did say that. Yeah, it wasn't 0:53:33.760 --> 0:53:39.040 necessarily just that conversation. So yes, And now the Barbes 0:53:39.120 --> 0:53:42.440 are going crazy, and Claudia said, wow, now the Barbes 0:53:42.440 --> 0:53:45.000 have gone too far, threatening to beat her my sixty 0:53:45.080 --> 0:53:47.960 nine year old mother and now harassing my fifteen year 0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:50.200 old niece. At the end of the day, what will 0:53:50.239 --> 0:53:52.520 this accomplish But keep your comma bad and you get 0:53:52.600 --> 0:53:55.600 brought up on charges. We stay protected, know this, And 0:53:55.680 --> 0:53:58.719 then she put hashtag over a talk show combo. Then 0:53:58.800 --> 0:54:02.279 she also said that the Barbs are brainless and soulless. Listen, 0:54:02.360 --> 0:54:04.560 you can't go ahead. First of all, Claudia didn't even 0:54:04.560 --> 0:54:07.600 really say anything. I love the fact that Claudia Jordan said, 0:54:07.600 --> 0:54:09.640 you could be bought upon charges. That's all you gotta do. 0:54:09.800 --> 0:54:12.640 Just hire the FBI. They have people that can track 0:54:12.719 --> 0:54:15.120 down those folks. You know what I'm saying, who make 0:54:15.200 --> 0:54:17.879 those crazy ass comments to you on social media? Those 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:20.080 death threats, if they leak in your address, if they 0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:23.040 threatening to kill you, that's all illegal. It just takes 0:54:23.080 --> 0:54:24.960 a little time and a little energy to get it done. 0:54:25.000 --> 0:54:27.000 But if they threatening your mom and niece and posting 0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:30.160 your address, it's worth get one of them locked up. Absolutely, 0:54:30.239 --> 0:54:32.800 And I'm sure that yes, this isn't how Nicki Minas 0:54:32.840 --> 0:54:35.640 wants to be represented by her fans. Especially you know, 0:54:35.719 --> 0:54:37.720 at a time like this, you want to be more positive. 0:54:37.760 --> 0:54:39.879 If you want to be someone's fan and go hard 0:54:39.960 --> 0:54:42.400 for them, keep it positive, say positive things. If you 0:54:42.480 --> 0:54:45.080 have an issue with what somebody said, you can address 0:54:45.120 --> 0:54:46.720 them about it, but you don't have to threaten someone's 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.920 mom or their niece put their FI on their ass. 0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:53.440 Barbs behind bars should be the hashtag. Okay, let's get 0:54:53.480 --> 0:54:56.319 some of them goddamn bobs locked the hell up, all right, 0:54:56.400 --> 0:54:58.960 and let's talk about versus battles because I am so 0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:02.319 excited I did for this Memorial Day event. It's gonna 0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:05.800 be Bounty Killer versus Beanie Man. I will be watching 0:55:05.880 --> 0:55:08.359 that on the big screen. I was praying for one 0:55:08.400 --> 0:55:11.920 of these dancehall or reggae ones and this is it. 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:15.880 So this event is gonna be amazing and I'll definitely 0:55:15.920 --> 0:55:19.480 be watching that Saturday starting at apm Eastern me too. 0:55:19.600 --> 0:55:23.200 I'm gonna have my drinks ready. And BT Awards they 0:55:23.280 --> 0:55:26.200 will be virtual this year, and so that's the format 0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:28.640 the annual awards show will move forward. It's gonna be Sunday, 0:55:28.760 --> 0:55:31.799 June twenty eighth. Usually they have this three day event 0:55:31.880 --> 0:55:34.319 that leads up to it with the BT experience. That's 0:55:34.360 --> 0:55:37.560 not gonna move forward as scheduled. So the rest of it, though, 0:55:37.680 --> 0:55:41.600 the actual awards will be virtual. And what's whack? That 0:55:41.800 --> 0:55:45.160 is the first year that BT is gonna be on CBS, 0:55:45.719 --> 0:55:47.120 you know what I'm saying. So the first year that 0:55:47.160 --> 0:55:49.040 it's gonna be on CBS is gonna be virtual. I 0:55:49.120 --> 0:55:52.120 don't like their virtual award shows. I'm overall virtual everything. 0:55:52.200 --> 0:55:55.839 I hate it. I hate the zoom presenters and zoom performances. 0:55:55.880 --> 0:55:57.840 I'm done with all of that. But it's just wacking. 0:55:57.880 --> 0:55:59.600 It's gonna be on TBS this year and it's gonna 0:55:59.600 --> 0:56:03.120 be virtual. There's nothing you can do about that. I'm 0:56:03.120 --> 0:56:05.719 sure it doesn't. Yeah, I'm sure that people appreciate the 0:56:05.800 --> 0:56:07.759 content as well, and people. I'm sure I can come 0:56:07.840 --> 0:56:11.279 up with creative ways to perform from home as we've 0:56:11.320 --> 0:56:14.560 been seeing happen, So people will do their best. Maybe 0:56:14.600 --> 0:56:17.680 they'll have a verses during that too, all right, Russell Simmons, 0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:21.560 The sexual assault accusers that are saying that he assaulted 0:56:21.640 --> 0:56:25.720 them are doing interviews now because you know that that movie, 0:56:25.840 --> 0:56:28.520 that documentary on the Record comes out on HBO Matt 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.759 on May twenty seventh and tells the stories of three 0:56:31.800 --> 0:56:34.040 women who alleged that he preyed on them while he 0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:36.759 was overseeing Deaf Jam recordings, And now they have also 0:56:36.880 --> 0:56:41.120 done exclusive interviews in this week's issue of People magazine. 0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.120 So the women that you can see on their Drew Dixon, 0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:46.160 a female employee who worked as director of A and 0:56:46.280 --> 0:56:50.040 R A Deaf Jam. You can also see still Lie 0:56:50.160 --> 0:56:53.960 Abrahams and she was a former Deaf Jam executive assistant. 0:56:54.000 --> 0:56:58.000 And Sherry Scher, who also was an early hip hop artist. Now, 0:56:58.080 --> 0:57:01.200 Russell Simmons has continued to say that he apologized for 0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:04.720 thoughtlessness in his relationships with women and even inappropriate conduct, 0:57:04.800 --> 0:57:08.200 but denies all accusations of rape. So he is denying 0:57:08.280 --> 0:57:10.880 that he did not respond when people reached out for comment. 0:57:11.400 --> 0:57:13.880 But there's a whole profile on these women and interviews 0:57:13.960 --> 0:57:17.800 that are out this week in People magazine and Timmy Rivera. 0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:20.640 She has done an interview and she's talking about how 0:57:20.800 --> 0:57:23.520 she does have a regret, and that regret is having 0:57:23.680 --> 0:57:26.120 light bo suction done. Here's what she had to say. 0:57:26.400 --> 0:57:29.320 I've gotten lightpo in my stomach, which I never should 0:57:29.320 --> 0:57:30.920 have done. It was the worst decision I've ever made. 0:57:30.960 --> 0:57:33.000 The reason why I feel as though, because first of all, 0:57:33.000 --> 0:57:34.680 I didn't need it. You know what the bomber is, 0:57:34.680 --> 0:57:40.800 cottle that little I'm gonna suck this pouch out, and 0:57:41.320 --> 0:57:43.920 by me doing that, I feel like the fat deposit 0:57:44.040 --> 0:57:47.600 in other places. And I've always been, you know, bottom heavy, 0:57:47.640 --> 0:57:49.360 so now I'm actual bottom heavy. And people like, oh, 0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:50.800 you got your ass done. I'm like, girl, if I 0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:54.520 could suck this shout, I would, all right. Well, yeah, 0:57:54.600 --> 0:57:57.760 that's the thing, man. Sometimes when you get certain procedures done, 0:57:58.160 --> 0:57:59.760 you don't think about how it might affect the rest 0:57:59.760 --> 0:58:02.560 of your body or the upkeeper of it. So that 0:58:02.760 --> 0:58:04.240 was very honest of her. And you know, she did 0:58:04.280 --> 0:58:07.920 get a breast reduction, and now she said the LiPo 0:58:08.080 --> 0:58:10.960 is the one thing that she does regrets. Okay, all right, 0:58:11.000 --> 0:58:13.800 I'm Antela yee and that is your rumor report. Okay, 0:58:13.880 --> 0:58:17.200 thank you, Missy Charlemagne.

All right, 0:58:27.640 --> 0:58:29.840 we'll get into that next keeping lock this to breakfast club. 0:58:29.880 --> 0:58:38.160 Good morning, It's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm 0:58:38.160 --> 0:58:40.760 a Democrat, so being Donkey of the Day a little 0:58:40.800 --> 0:58:48.840 bit of a mill But like other day now, I've 0:58:48.840 --> 0:58:50.760 been called a lot of my twenty three years, but 0:58:50.880 --> 0:58:53.360 Donkey of the Day is a new wife. Donkey to 0:58:53.440 --> 0:58:55.920 Day for Thursday, May twenty first goes to a young 0:58:56.040 --> 0:59:00.240 twenty year old man named Armando Junior her Nandez. Hey, 0:59:00.320 --> 0:59:03.920 he is the alleged shooter of Westgate Mall in Arizona. Now, 0:59:03.960 --> 0:59:06.800 if you haven't heard, Armando posted a series of posts 0:59:06.840 --> 0:59:10.520 on Snapchat that said, well he said he would be 0:59:10.600 --> 0:59:13.720 the shooter of the Westgate Mall. Let's go to KPNX 0:59:13.800 --> 0:59:16.080 News twelve NBC for the report. Police at least three 0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:19.640 people have been shot after a suspected gunman opened fire 0:59:20.000 --> 0:59:24.080 at Glendale's Westgate Entertainment District. Glendale police believed that a 0:59:24.200 --> 0:59:27.320 lone man with a gun walked into the shopping complex 0:59:27.440 --> 0:59:32.880 and started shooting, possibly recording himself on several social media platforms. 0:59:33.280 --> 0:59:36.680 Right now, we're working to confirm the validity of those videos. 0:59:37.000 --> 0:59:40.480 Glendale Police have the suspect in custody. In the meantime, 0:59:40.920 --> 0:59:43.400 police want everyone to know that this is not an 0:59:43.520 --> 0:59:48.000 active shooter situation. However, the area is closed off until 0:59:48.040 --> 0:59:50.120 further notice. You see why I had to say a 0:59:50.240 --> 0:59:54.080 ledge shooter because they haven't validated the video yet. How 0:59:54.200 --> 0:59:57.360 much more validation do you need? Okay? When a guy 0:59:57.440 --> 0:59:59.240 looks at the camera and says I Am going to 0:59:59.360 --> 1:00:02.280 be the shooter, then proceeds to shoot people on camera, like, 1:00:02.440 --> 1:00:05.120 what are we trying to confirm here? People? I am 1:00:05.240 --> 1:00:07.800 fully aware and this is a different era we live in. 1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:10.800 People want at tension for every damn thing. Everybody knows 1:00:10.840 --> 1:00:12.280 they can have an audience, and they will take the 1:00:12.320 --> 1:00:15.080 opportunity to be in front of an audience every chance 1:00:15.120 --> 1:00:20.600 they get. Apparently, everything including mass shootings is performative nowadays. Now, 1:00:21.120 --> 1:00:24.120 I didn't watch this video. There's absolutely no part of 1:00:24.160 --> 1:00:26.320 me that wants to see people get shot in real life. 1:00:26.520 --> 1:00:28.880 This ain't a movie, dog, okay, And I'm cool on 1:00:29.000 --> 1:00:31.480 witnessing things like that. But I did listen to the 1:00:31.560 --> 1:00:35.600 audio of Armando talking leading up to the shooting. And 1:00:35.680 --> 1:00:37.400 I'm playing this because I want you to hear how 1:00:37.560 --> 1:00:40.360 gleeful this young man sounds to do what it is 1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:46.200 he's about to do. Listen, I'm gonna be the shooter 1:00:46.680 --> 1:00:53.800 of Westgate, so let's get this done. He sounds like 1:00:53.840 --> 1:00:56.960 he's going to try out a new Hamburger everybody's been 1:00:57.080 --> 1:00:59.920 raving about. Okay, Like like, this shouldn't sound like a 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:03.400 routine thing for him to do, Okay. I'm reading the 1:01:03.560 --> 1:01:06.520 article on the Daily News describing the video, and it 1:01:06.560 --> 1:01:09.600 says he flashed his beer can and showed his guns 1:01:09.640 --> 1:01:12.200 in the backseat of his car, and he said, let's 1:01:12.240 --> 1:01:15.760 get this done. Like, young man, you're not going to work, okay, 1:01:15.840 --> 1:01:18.240 You're not about to mow a lawn or go tear 1:01:18.360 --> 1:01:20.479 down the frame of a house. Let's get this done. 1:01:20.880 --> 1:01:23.960 Sounds like you're an essential delivery driver who got a 1:01:24.040 --> 1:01:26.760 long day ahead of him delivering packages the people, and 1:01:26.800 --> 1:01:28.919 you just want to get it done. Let's get this done, okay. 1:01:29.200 --> 1:01:33.400 You are attempting to give yourself a pep talk to 1:01:33.520 --> 1:01:37.480 go do a mass shooting. I'm just confused. Now. Almando 1:01:37.560 --> 1:01:39.800 went on to shoot three people. As of right now, 1:01:39.880 --> 1:01:42.720 one of the people injured is in critical condition. Two 1:01:42.800 --> 1:01:45.880 others were expected to survive following the shooting. Thank god 1:01:45.960 --> 1:01:49.360 for that. Okay. Now, in the video, the Daily Mail reports, 1:01:49.440 --> 1:01:52.560 this guy stood over one of his victims, a young lady, 1:01:52.840 --> 1:01:56.600 and said society is bullsh Okay. The woman pleads, I 1:01:56.680 --> 1:01:59.600 have nothing to do with that. You already got me, dude. 1:02:00.440 --> 1:02:01.680 Let me let me hear that for a second. Let 1:02:01.720 --> 1:02:10.960 me hear that little clip. You know. Man, Situations like 1:02:11.080 --> 1:02:14.080 this is why I've been social distancing from large crowds 1:02:14.120 --> 1:02:17.200 for a long time. This is another reason to stay quarantine. 1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:20.280 You would think that during this quarantine people would have 1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:24.200 started to appreciate life more, but nope, not on mindo. 1:02:24.520 --> 1:02:26.320 And I'm lying to you if I said I don't 1:02:26.400 --> 1:02:29.360 feel empathy for him, Okay, I feel empathy for his 1:02:29.480 --> 1:02:32.200 nut ass because I maintain anyone who is in that 1:02:32.360 --> 1:02:34.320 much pain that they would want to go out and 1:02:34.520 --> 1:02:38.400 hurt other people like that. They are clearly a really 1:02:38.600 --> 1:02:42.400 hurt individual themselves. Okay, he's twenty years old and clearly 1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:44.680 dealing with a lot of trauma. And when you don't 1:02:44.760 --> 1:02:48.120 deal with your own traumas, you traumatize others. Now, in 1:02:48.200 --> 1:02:51.439 the perfect world, I have two wishes. One, I wish 1:02:51.480 --> 1:02:54.560 this young man would have received helpful whatever is you know, 1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:57.680 clearly going on with him, and there's clearly some psychological 1:02:57.760 --> 1:03:01.920 issues there. But this world isn't perfect. Okay. If it was, 1:03:02.000 --> 1:03:04.080 that man will be sitting with a psychiatrist or being 1:03:04.160 --> 1:03:08.040 someone's facility, receiving the type of treatment he needs, maybe 1:03:08.120 --> 1:03:10.640 being put on the type of medication he needs to 1:03:10.720 --> 1:03:13.280 prevent things like this from happening. That's my first wish. 1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:16.200 My second wish whenever I hear things like this is 1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:19.320 I really wish these folks who think society is BS, 1:03:19.440 --> 1:03:21.560 these folks who don't like it here, who don't want 1:03:21.560 --> 1:03:24.640 to be here anymore, I really wish they understood that 1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:27.240 is a personal problem. And if they don't want to 1:03:27.240 --> 1:03:30.080 be here anymore, don't go taking other people out. Take 1:03:30.120 --> 1:03:32.280 yourself out. You're the one that doesn't want to be 1:03:32.360 --> 1:03:34.960 here anymore. That woman you had on the ground telling 1:03:35.040 --> 1:03:38.000 her society is BS. What does what does she have 1:03:38.120 --> 1:03:40.320 to do with the way you feel? Okay, she may 1:03:40.400 --> 1:03:43.080 feel like minus the BS, life is great, So who 1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:45.520 are you to take that from her? Don't take that 1:03:45.680 --> 1:03:47.960 anger out on others. If you must take it out 1:03:48.000 --> 1:03:51.200 on yourself. I personally believe as long as you are breathing, 1:03:51.240 --> 1:03:53.680 you can reform your life in some way. You can 1:03:53.800 --> 1:03:55.880 salvage what's left for your life. But I would much 1:03:56.000 --> 1:03:59.040 rather you harm yourself before you go harm a bunch 1:03:59.080 --> 1:04:03.280 of innocent people. Okay, Ormando is now in custody, and 1:04:04.320 --> 1:04:05.840 I guess you got to look at the bright side. 1:04:05.960 --> 1:04:07.800 There's a bright side. No, no, there's no guess, yes, 1:04:07.880 --> 1:04:09.760 there is a bright side. Kid had an off fifteen. 1:04:09.920 --> 1:04:12.120 It could be a lot more people dead right now, Okay, 1:04:12.160 --> 1:04:14.400 a lot more people hurt, all right, Clearly there's no 1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:17.040 there's nobody dead as a right now. Person in critical condition, 1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:19.560 you know, to an engine and you know it could 1:04:19.600 --> 1:04:22.439 be way worse. It could be families actually grieving this morning. 1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:24.840 But by the grace of God, it's not okay, And 1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:28.680 we have to be very mindful of each other at 1:04:28.720 --> 1:04:31.440 a moment like this, during this global pandemic, we all 1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:34.080 have to be very mindful of each other. Okay. Everybody 1:04:34.200 --> 1:04:36.920 is going through things. Everybody is at the end of 1:04:37.000 --> 1:04:39.160 their rope, and the only thing we need to know 1:04:39.360 --> 1:04:43.520 at this present moment in time is be kind. Okay, 1:04:43.680 --> 1:04:48.480 be kind whenever possible, and always remember it is always 1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:52.560 possible to be kind.

We're 1:06:47.440 --> 1:06:49.400 supposed to be able to talk to each other about anything. 1:06:49.800 --> 1:06:51.320 So I want you to let me know what is 1:06:51.400 --> 1:06:53.960 bothering you. Please do not let this outside person to 1:06:54.160 --> 1:06:56.760 exactly what he intended to do, and his intention was 1:06:56.840 --> 1:06:58.720 for us to break up and not get along. I 1:06:58.800 --> 1:07:01.160 do not communicate with him. You don't communicate with him, 1:07:01.240 --> 1:07:04.280 right I Right now he's still on my phone bill, 1:07:04.400 --> 1:07:06.760 like he's on my contract. So right now I'm trying 1:07:06.800 --> 1:07:08.680 to contact him to let him know, you know, the 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:11.920 phone dudes, dude, and then during girl, you first of all, 1:07:12.000 --> 1:07:15.760 can't you you gotta get him off your phone? This crazy? Yeah, yeah, 1:07:15.840 --> 1:07:17.800 like this is the last month. So it's like after 1:07:17.880 --> 1:07:19.560 this month, like he can get off my plan, like 1:07:19.600 --> 1:07:21.840 the contract is up. So I'm like, okay, good, it's 1:07:21.880 --> 1:07:24.919 only one month, but it's like it's been two other 1:07:25.080 --> 1:07:26.960 months that I had to, you know, get collect the 1:07:27.000 --> 1:07:28.720 money from him to pay the phone bill. And he 1:07:29.000 --> 1:07:32.000 was like to me out, but it's like you didn't 1:07:32.000 --> 1:07:33.560 want me when I was there, Like this is type 1:07:33.560 --> 1:07:35.480 of dude that would tell you to leave, And then 1:07:35.520 --> 1:07:37.720 when you packed up, he was like no, it's like 1:07:37.960 --> 1:07:39.920 this happened for like months in a month's out when 1:07:39.960 --> 1:07:41.920 I'm like, I'm not dealing with his mental stress, like 1:07:42.000 --> 1:07:44.920 I like my peace and it so here's my peaceful either, 1:07:45.040 --> 1:07:47.760 Like I have to deal with it, you know, coming 1:07:47.800 --> 1:07:49.840 into my new situation, I'm like, what the hell? I 1:07:49.880 --> 1:07:52.280 don't know what to do? Well, Jesse. Part of this 1:07:52.520 --> 1:07:54.520 is the fact that you really did not completely cut 1:07:54.560 --> 1:07:57.000 off your ex. So I do feel like you have 1:07:57.120 --> 1:07:59.800 to take responsibility for that, because are there things that 1:07:59.840 --> 1:08:01.800 you are hiding from your current boyfriend that your X 1:08:01.880 --> 1:08:05.120 could have thrown in his face. It's like, Okay, my 1:08:05.280 --> 1:08:10.800 ex seen him a video, you know, and that Climba 1:08:10.920 --> 1:08:13.840 threw him off, and it was like the second time. Look, 1:08:13.880 --> 1:08:17.360 I didn't see the video part my current boyfriend. He 1:08:17.439 --> 1:08:20.080 sent me a screen shot and my ex sent me 1:08:20.120 --> 1:08:21.880 a screen shot too, but they never sent me the 1:08:21.920 --> 1:08:25.800 whole message. So I don't know. Look, I'm gonna saying this, 1:08:26.080 --> 1:08:29.920 I have what was this like an X rated video? Yeah, 1:08:31.040 --> 1:08:33.760 you gotta understand, of course your current boyfriend feels the way, 1:08:33.760 --> 1:08:36.240 and you need to be sympathetic towards that, but you 1:08:36.360 --> 1:08:40.200 will never cut this X off completely. So first of all, 1:08:40.240 --> 1:08:42.479 nobody wants to see their girlfriend having sex with anybody, 1:08:42.880 --> 1:08:45.599 and I think that is completely disrespectful that your ex 1:08:45.640 --> 1:08:47.720 did that, and that that was me, I would have 1:08:47.800 --> 1:08:50.720 definitely went and did something legally with him. And if 1:08:50.760 --> 1:08:52.519 that means I got to get a restraining order, if 1:08:52.560 --> 1:08:54.960 that means that I have to do a police report, 1:08:55.040 --> 1:08:58.519 because he cannot be distributing these things that you did 1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:01.640 in private to people publicly. Next thing, you know, he 1:09:01.760 --> 1:09:04.720 might post that online. That's what I'm thinking, like I'm 1:09:04.800 --> 1:09:07.920 over here losing or you better nip that in the bud. 1:09:08.040 --> 1:09:11.840 First things. First, cut off this ex loser boyfriend of yours, 1:09:12.200 --> 1:09:15.320 stop communicating with him, Take legal actions so that he's 1:09:15.360 --> 1:09:17.559 not able to post this of you that he knows 1:09:17.600 --> 1:09:20.040 that there will be criminal charges against him if he 1:09:20.160 --> 1:09:22.400 does try to do that. Let your new boyfriend know 1:09:22.439 --> 1:09:25.559 that you mean business, right because right now he's thinking 1:09:25.600 --> 1:09:27.560 that you still have feelings for your ex. Now he 1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:29.760 don't seen y'all having sex, even though I'm sure he 1:09:29.800 --> 1:09:31.639 didn't want to have to see that, and he knows 1:09:31.680 --> 1:09:35.640 you haven't completely cut him off, right, So handle your 1:09:35.720 --> 1:09:38.120 business so that you can actually be in a new relationship. 1:09:38.160 --> 1:09:40.639 You have all these loose ends, but take care of yourself, 1:09:40.800 --> 1:09:43.000 like make sure that he's not able to do these 1:09:43.040 --> 1:09:45.280 things that will really hurt you because that's what he's 1:09:45.280 --> 1:09:47.080 trying to do. And somebody who had feelings for you 1:09:47.160 --> 1:09:50.200 would never do that. You know, he was gonna violate me. 1:09:50.360 --> 1:09:52.679 That's where he was on violent. He's from New York 1:09:53.200 --> 1:09:55.280 and you know I'm from South Carolina, so all that 1:09:55.880 --> 1:09:57.960 up North stuffs. Don't go with me.

We 1:14:35.720 --> 1:14:39.639 are the breakfast club. We're in the middle of ask ye. Hello, 1:14:39.760 --> 1:14:42.840 who's this? My name is Shaky, Hey, sh what's your 1:14:42.920 --> 1:14:46.360 question for you? I've been I'm the only one working 1:14:46.439 --> 1:14:49.840 in my household. And Um, I have a boyfriend of 1:14:50.200 --> 1:14:54.479 seven years and he's not working, and he hasn't worked 1:14:54.560 --> 1:14:56.920 the whole time we've been together. So I'm trying to 1:14:56.960 --> 1:14:59.360 figure out if I should say, if I should say 1:14:59.360 --> 1:15:02.080 in the relationship or shot just let him go? So 1:15:02.240 --> 1:15:05.200 he hasn't worked for seventy years? Why is that? Um? 1:15:06.040 --> 1:15:08.240 Does he has his own business and he wants to 1:15:08.320 --> 1:15:10.360 do that? Okay, so he does work. He has his 1:15:10.439 --> 1:15:15.240 own business. He just doesn't have a traditional nine to five. Yes, Now, 1:15:15.240 --> 1:15:16.880 why would you say he doesn't work if he has 1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:19.559 his own business? Does he is? He is working? Out? 1:15:19.720 --> 1:15:23.439 Is he making money? No? What is his business? I'm 1:15:23.479 --> 1:15:30.280 just curious, Um, I really don't know. So for seven years, 1:15:30.320 --> 1:15:32.360 you've been with a guy who hasn't made any money 1:15:32.520 --> 1:15:35.479 and has a business, but you don't know what he does? Right? 1:15:36.320 --> 1:15:39.560 What made you stay so long? Um? I kind of 1:15:39.600 --> 1:15:43.120 love him? Okay, so you love him? How do you 1:15:43.200 --> 1:15:45.559 not know what he does? Though? Wouldn't you be wanting 1:15:45.640 --> 1:15:50.000 to be supportive of such a business to do? Right? Uh? 1:15:50.200 --> 1:15:57.200 He has different businesses. Um, he does marketing and different ventures. 1:15:57.920 --> 1:16:02.519 But camera sounds like a scam of mama. I just 1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:04.800 want to say, I feel like, just from the tone 1:16:04.800 --> 1:16:08.160 of this conversation already, that you seem very negative and 1:16:08.200 --> 1:16:10.400 that you put him down. It seems like a first 1:16:10.400 --> 1:16:12.080 you told us he doesn't work and it hasn't worked 1:16:12.120 --> 1:16:14.639 in seven years, but he does, he has his own business. 1:16:14.680 --> 1:16:16.160 Then you told us you don't know what he does, 1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:18.080 but now you're telling us what he does. And then 1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:20.680 you also said you kind of love him. So it 1:16:20.960 --> 1:16:24.720 feels like you have an issue with being supportive or 1:16:24.920 --> 1:16:27.880 opening up to him and also letting him lean on 1:16:28.040 --> 1:16:31.240 you when he needs things. Well, I mean I've been 1:16:31.439 --> 1:16:36.600 leaned on the whole time financially, right, But you do 1:16:36.760 --> 1:16:40.519 still love him? Yes? What do you need in order 1:16:40.600 --> 1:16:42.639 for you to want to stay with him? There's way 1:16:42.680 --> 1:16:44.599 out the pros and cons? Like, what would you need 1:16:44.640 --> 1:16:48.240 to happen for you to feel like money, I would 1:16:48.320 --> 1:16:51.920 need the financial support, okay, and that can be stressful. 1:16:51.920 --> 1:16:54.160 And listen, I get it. You stuck it through for 1:16:54.240 --> 1:16:56.560 seven years and you're tired of being the one that 1:16:56.640 --> 1:16:58.560 has to financially hold things down. You want to be 1:16:58.640 --> 1:17:01.880 taken care of, you want to go on vacation, You 1:17:01.960 --> 1:17:05.080 want somebody to at least pull their own weight right right, 1:17:05.720 --> 1:17:07.880 And I know that can be stressful because finances the 1:17:07.960 --> 1:17:10.200 number one reason that couples argue. So what does he 1:17:10.320 --> 1:17:12.200 say when you tell him I need you to do 1:17:12.320 --> 1:17:14.680 something that actually brings something to the table and make 1:17:14.760 --> 1:17:18.320 some money. He wants me to support him in his business, 1:17:18.520 --> 1:17:22.920 which you have been and you guys live together. That 1:17:23.120 --> 1:17:25.640 is great, okay. So maybe what you need to do 1:17:25.800 --> 1:17:28.680 is stop enabling him by being supportive of him all 1:17:28.720 --> 1:17:31.559 the time financially. And maybe y'all do need to get 1:17:31.640 --> 1:17:33.880 your own places so that he is forced to be 1:17:33.960 --> 1:17:36.160 in a position where he has to earn money and 1:17:36.240 --> 1:17:38.479 take care of himself because that might only benefit him 1:17:38.760 --> 1:17:41.479 in the meantime. Maybe it's not a full breakup, but 1:17:41.600 --> 1:17:44.960 maybe it's more of I'm tired of having to financially 1:17:45.120 --> 1:17:47.800 be the person that handles everything. So I'm going to 1:17:47.840 --> 1:17:50.559 take care of myself, spoil myself, and let you get 1:17:50.600 --> 1:17:53.639 yourself on track, and then I think you can see 1:17:53.680 --> 1:17:57.160 what he does from there, okay, because I do think 1:17:57.240 --> 1:17:59.200 seven years is a long time to stick it through. 1:17:59.280 --> 1:18:01.320 You still love him him, but I can understand the 1:18:01.400 --> 1:18:03.240 bitterness of having to feel like I have to pay 1:18:03.320 --> 1:18:05.840 for everything. I have to support you in everything. You're 1:18:05.880 --> 1:18:08.479 not pulling your weight around here financially, and if that 1:18:08.640 --> 1:18:10.360 is something that bothers you, I can't see that just 1:18:10.520 --> 1:18:14.360 going away. And sometimes we do enable people by always 1:18:14.400 --> 1:18:16.599 making sure the bills are paid, and then they feel like, Okay, 1:18:16.640 --> 1:18:18.120 I can continue to do what I need to do. 1:18:18.560 --> 1:18:22.840 But you guys aren't married, right, No, okay, good So 1:18:23.280 --> 1:18:25.680 because y'all are not married, I don't think that you're 1:18:25.720 --> 1:18:27.599 obligated to live with him. And if he takes your 1:18:27.640 --> 1:18:30.280 relationship seriously and he knows what he needs to do 1:18:30.360 --> 1:18:32.160 to make things work, then he will step up and 1:18:32.240 --> 1:18:35.960 do that. I agree. Okay, all right, Well, good luck. 1:18:36.200 --> 1:18:39.280 I hope you'll work it out. Thank you. It's on 1:18:39.479 --> 1:18:43.240 him now. You did your part. Yeah, all right, thank you, mama, 1:18:43.720 --> 1:18:49.639 thank you. She's not much for words. Huh she called 1:18:49.680 --> 1:18:53.360 you and they want to answer? All right, right, five 1:18:53.680 --> 1:18:56.080 five one, five one. You got rumors on the way. Yes, 1:18:56.200 --> 1:19:00.360 an anonymous NFL player is suing United Airlines. Find out why. 1:19:00.720 --> 1:19:02.760 All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. 1:19:02.800 --> 1:19:09.200 Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report 1:19:09.680 --> 1:19:19.560 with Angela bas Yes, he is preferring to stay anonymous, 1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:22.120 but he says he was sexually assaulted on a United 1:19:22.160 --> 1:19:24.599 Airlines plane, and he says flight attendants didn't do anything 1:19:24.680 --> 1:19:27.080 to stop it, so now he's suing. So what he 1:19:27.160 --> 1:19:30.720 says is, yes, a woman sexually harassed, assaulted, abuse, and 1:19:30.880 --> 1:19:32.840 violated him during a flight. It was a red eye 1:19:32.880 --> 1:19:35.439 flight from lax to New Jersey. He said it was 1:19:35.520 --> 1:19:37.439 a nightmare. He said he took his place in a 1:19:37.520 --> 1:19:40.040 middle seat. A woman sat in the window seat next 1:19:40.080 --> 1:19:43.000 to him, and immediately, he said he was harassed over 1:19:43.120 --> 1:19:44.960 the safety mask that he was wearing. He says the 1:19:45.040 --> 1:19:47.960 woman hit and elbowed him and demanded that he moved seats, 1:19:48.600 --> 1:19:51.080 and that's when he said the woman was taking pills. 1:19:51.120 --> 1:19:53.720 They believed that she was under the influence. He got 1:19:53.840 --> 1:19:56.000 up to tell the flight attendants about the harassment, and 1:19:56.120 --> 1:19:59.080 they did nothing about it. According to this lawsuit, the 1:19:59.160 --> 1:20:02.200 NFL player says woman then started groping and massaging his 1:20:02.320 --> 1:20:05.080 knees and thighs. He said that they got up to 1:20:05.160 --> 1:20:08.040 inform flight attendants, but still they did nothing, and then 1:20:08.080 --> 1:20:11.120 the woman began to intensify her sexual assault, grabbing and 1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:14.240 groping his squads and then stroking her hand across his 1:20:14.360 --> 1:20:17.800 lap towards the inside of his leg near his genitals. 1:20:17.840 --> 1:20:20.280 He said he immediately got up. He pleaded with the 1:20:20.320 --> 1:20:22.240 flight attendant to get her to stop, and the United 1:20:22.360 --> 1:20:25.000 employee did nothing more than issue a verbal warning to 1:20:25.080 --> 1:20:28.080 the woman. That's when the NFL player says the woman 1:20:28.120 --> 1:20:30.360 grabbed his penis and a ripped off his face mask, 1:20:30.720 --> 1:20:33.720 causing him to jump away and run toward flight attendants. 1:20:33.960 --> 1:20:41.120 Wow King He was with another NFL player, and that's 1:20:41.200 --> 1:20:43.840 when the second player says, the woman slid over into 1:20:43.880 --> 1:20:46.439 the middle seat after he got up and started sexually 1:20:46.479 --> 1:20:49.280 assaulting him as well. So what they ended up doing 1:20:49.520 --> 1:20:52.360 was moving the woman to another row without passengers, and 1:20:52.479 --> 1:20:55.559 both the players were given one hundred and fifty dollars 1:20:55.600 --> 1:20:57.800 vouchers for their troubles. But now they went to sue. 1:20:58.240 --> 1:21:00.439 That's right, take your power back, King. You don't have 1:21:00.520 --> 1:21:03.840 to be anonymous. Tell your story. Okay. Nobody takes men 1:21:03.960 --> 1:21:06.559 serious when we make these kind of complaints. This double 1:21:06.640 --> 1:21:09.879 standing must stop. Tell your story and don't be ashamed. 1:21:10.040 --> 1:21:12.519 Women can be predators too, Okay. I've seen many a 1:21:12.600 --> 1:21:15.680 man molested on a flight. That happens. That happens to 1:21:15.760 --> 1:21:18.519 Whax all the time. If Wax sitch next to one 1:21:18.560 --> 1:21:22.880 of these older white women, oh my god, just like 1:21:23.000 --> 1:21:25.200 who gives her permission to just touch on people like that? 1:21:25.280 --> 1:21:27.320 They do it all the time. I've seen this a 1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:31.760 million times. Attendant didn't move the woman immediately, Like, I 1:21:31.800 --> 1:21:34.680 don't understand what they took for both of them to 1:21:34.840 --> 1:21:37.680 get sexually assaulted, for them to finally make no why 1:21:40.479 --> 1:21:43.080 she got off the plane. Yeah, because nobody takes men 1:21:43.200 --> 1:21:46.759 serious when we make these kind of complaints and situation. 1:21:46.760 --> 1:21:48.280 Because if it would have been a guy on the 1:21:48.280 --> 1:21:52.360 girl had landed that plane immediately, yes, harassed the woman, 1:21:52.439 --> 1:21:55.160 sexually harassed the woman, they would have landed that plane. 1:21:55.479 --> 1:21:57.880 And if he complained like that they should have landed 1:21:57.960 --> 1:22:00.840 that plane, he should he should definitely sue. And I'm 1:22:00.880 --> 1:22:06.680 monitoring Okay.

You know, 1:24:22.720 --> 1:24:25.680 he was celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of his America's most 1:24:25.760 --> 1:24:28.400 wanted album. With the digital listening party, he did a 1:24:28.400 --> 1:24:30.680 whole track by track playback and that's one of the 1:24:30.800 --> 1:24:33.160 things he talked about was the song against his fairy Tale. 1:24:33.520 --> 1:24:36.120 So that sample can't be found anymore because it's from 1:24:36.160 --> 1:24:40.240 Mister Rodgers children's show. But here's what he said, it's 1:24:40.280 --> 1:24:44.000 a trip because off this song. Mister Rogers sued us. 1:24:44.560 --> 1:24:46.800 He was mad because we had we had the mister 1:24:46.920 --> 1:24:49.479 Rogers theme at the beginning of the show, It's a 1:24:49.520 --> 1:24:53.599 Wonderful Day and neighborhood and all that, and pursued us 1:24:53.880 --> 1:24:56.880 and was getting like five Center Records.

This isn't 1:27:25.520 --> 1:27:30.880 about your personal needs. So there's a lot of things 1:27:30.920 --> 1:27:32.920 that we can actually relate to your book, Michelle, that 1:27:32.960 --> 1:27:36.520 we're going to talk about with our own personal experiences. Right, absolutely, 1:27:37.160 --> 1:27:38.920 all right. So, Stacy, I know you're up here all 1:27:38.960 --> 1:27:41.360 the time for Wealth Wednesday, but we don't know your 1:27:41.439 --> 1:27:45.800 story and how you got that. Yes, the financial coach 1:27:45.840 --> 1:27:49.240 and expert who you are today? It was interesting. M 1:27:49.320 --> 1:27:52.120 I'm glad we're all here talking with women of color 1:27:52.240 --> 1:27:54.800 about how to get to those high level positions, and 1:27:54.880 --> 1:27:58.439 it's a very different road for us. My career started 1:27:58.479 --> 1:28:01.880 on Wall Street and I was lucky my first job, 1:28:01.960 --> 1:28:04.280 I got a really big break in terms of I 1:28:04.360 --> 1:28:06.760 was assistant to a cash manager and what his job 1:28:06.920 --> 1:28:08.840 was to manage the company's money. It was about one 1:28:08.880 --> 1:28:11.960 hundred million dollars a day, but another company was trying 1:28:12.000 --> 1:28:14.280 to take us over. I was young, but he still 1:28:14.360 --> 1:28:16.720 thought I knew his job best, so he gave me 1:28:16.840 --> 1:28:20.280 that responsibility. So I did that job for many years, 1:28:20.320 --> 1:28:23.400 which was great, but then Wall Street wasn't clicking for me. 1:28:24.280 --> 1:28:27.240 I knew finance. I've written since I think I came 1:28:27.280 --> 1:28:28.840 out of the womb, so I wanted it to go 1:28:28.920 --> 1:28:31.960 into financial journalism. So I literally called the Wall Street 1:28:32.040 --> 1:28:34.560 Journal with that story and they bought it and I 1:28:34.680 --> 1:28:37.040 started working there as a writer. I moved into their 1:28:37.080 --> 1:28:40.280 TV department became a producer, so far, things had been 1:28:40.880 --> 1:28:45.439 easy enough that I hadn't had to face my internal demons, 1:28:45.479 --> 1:28:47.559 so to speak, that we're going to hamper my career. 1:28:47.600 --> 1:28:50.439 Because the rubber really hit the road for me when 1:28:50.479 --> 1:28:52.560 I moved from that producer role to wanting to be 1:28:52.680 --> 1:28:57.639 in front of the camera and to move into network 1:28:57.760 --> 1:29:00.400 level business news. You encounter some one that a lot 1:29:00.439 --> 1:29:02.960 of us have heard of, Roger Ales, And I think 1:29:03.000 --> 1:29:05.280 the first thing he ever said to me kind of 1:29:05.360 --> 1:29:07.200 defined a lot of what happened to me. He looked 1:29:07.200 --> 1:29:09.120 at me and he said, I'm going to close my 1:29:09.240 --> 1:29:12.040 eyes and I'm going to imagine what someone who's good 1:29:12.080 --> 1:29:14.880 with money looks like. Now I'm going to open my eyes. 1:29:15.000 --> 1:29:19.280 It didn't look like you. Wow. So I very defiantly 1:29:19.360 --> 1:29:21.360 told him that he was going to have to change 1:29:21.400 --> 1:29:24.240 his definition of what a business news reporter looked like. 1:29:24.439 --> 1:29:27.040 And I went to war and I got you know, 1:29:27.479 --> 1:29:29.479 I just got myself to a level. I got jobs 1:29:29.520 --> 1:29:32.720 at CBS, and one thing that I would run into 1:29:32.840 --> 1:29:36.160 there is I did great being a reporter and business 1:29:36.200 --> 1:29:40.080 correspondent for the national shows. But those networks make a 1:29:40.120 --> 1:29:42.719 lot of their money off the affiliates and the Southern 1:29:43.160 --> 1:29:45.600 and a lot of Midwestern affiliates just wouldn't air me. 1:29:46.560 --> 1:29:48.760 So they would come to CBS and say, you know, 1:29:48.800 --> 1:29:51.560 we're not airing her business segment. So they were like 1:29:51.680 --> 1:29:54.040 Roger Al's, Yeah, they couldn't. You know, it's not even 1:29:54.120 --> 1:29:56.519 like I can go to HR and complain. They just couldn't. 1:29:56.920 --> 1:30:00.519 So I had to find more interesting story. I had 1:30:00.520 --> 1:30:02.960 to find different angles on stories. We're here, we have 1:30:03.040 --> 1:30:04.599 to be twice as better. I had to be ten 1:30:04.680 --> 1:30:07.240 times as good. And I was able to keep myself 1:30:07.280 --> 1:30:10.160 at a level I worked, you know, CNN, PBS, the 1:30:10.280 --> 1:30:13.080 Today's Show. I got into all those places, but it 1:30:13.200 --> 1:30:15.680 was very clear to me. It wasn't clear to me 1:30:15.760 --> 1:30:17.840 actually what a toll that was taken on my self 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:23.640 esteem and my self confidence. So it's really just believing 1:30:23.720 --> 1:30:26.519 in yourself and you're you're gonna evolve no matter what's 1:30:26.560 --> 1:30:29.000 going on in your mind, and just staying true to 1:30:29.120 --> 1:30:31.960 that and finding what you're passionate about and it does happen, 1:30:32.520 --> 1:30:34.720 all right. Wow, See, we didn't know all of that 1:30:35.200 --> 1:30:39.000 about your journey to get here, and Michelle, we read, well, 1:30:39.000 --> 1:30:40.920 I read somewhat about your journey. We got the book 1:30:40.960 --> 1:30:42.439 this morning, so I was trying to go through it 1:30:42.520 --> 1:30:45.559 as fast as I could. But you have a book 1:30:45.560 --> 1:30:47.560 out Climb, and you talk about your own journey and 1:30:47.600 --> 1:30:49.080 how you got to where you got to and how 1:30:49.160 --> 1:30:52.160 much harder it is for black not just women, but 1:30:52.280 --> 1:30:55.360 black women have an even tougher time, Yes, breaking into 1:30:55.400 --> 1:30:58.320 businesses and running businesses and fortune five hundred companies, and 1:30:58.360 --> 1:31:01.560 you address all of that. So let's talk about your journey. Absolutely. 1:31:01.720 --> 1:31:04.280 So I started my career in marketing many years ago 1:31:05.400 --> 1:31:08.120 and in the consumer goods industry, and I determined early 1:31:08.200 --> 1:31:11.480 on this just wasn't for me. I just didn't feel gratified. 1:31:11.960 --> 1:31:15.080 So I left that company worked for another organization where 1:31:15.120 --> 1:31:18.519 I was able to rotate to different functions within that company, 1:31:18.600 --> 1:31:22.479 So from procurement to finance, to marketing and you name it. 1:31:22.680 --> 1:31:26.360 And my last rotation was in human resources and strategic planning. 1:31:26.960 --> 1:31:30.120 So I've been a diversity practitioner in four different industries, 1:31:30.240 --> 1:31:34.920 from financial services to consumer goods, professional services. I was 1:31:34.960 --> 1:31:37.479 even an entrepreneur for a short period of time. Why 1:31:37.600 --> 1:31:40.840 is diversity important in corporations and why was the work 1:31:40.920 --> 1:31:44.760 that you did so important? Yeah, any organization worth salt, 1:31:44.880 --> 1:31:48.799 in my view, would need to have a diversity equity 1:31:48.840 --> 1:31:51.080 and inclusion strategy of some sorts if they want to 1:31:51.120 --> 1:31:53.840 stay in business. Because what we're talking about is this 1:31:54.000 --> 1:31:56.160 is a business imperative. This is just not the right 1:31:56.240 --> 1:31:58.439 thing to do or the nice thing to do. There's 1:31:58.439 --> 1:32:03.240 an implication organizations that don't embrace diversity strategy because you're 1:32:03.280 --> 1:32:07.120 talking about innovation and creativity and leveraging the workforce and 1:32:07.240 --> 1:32:12.440 maximizing and utilizing all the skills and uniqueness that individuals 1:32:12.439 --> 1:32:14.320 of difference bring to the table. So this is a 1:32:14.400 --> 1:32:17.479 business strategy. This is no longer about just human capital 1:32:17.520 --> 1:32:21.479 and people. So in my view, any organization that wants 1:32:21.520 --> 1:32:24.639 to stay in business needs to embrace diversity and inclusion. 1:32:24.880 --> 1:32:26.320 But when do we get to the point where we say, 1:32:26.800 --> 1:32:29.519 part of my language, before those companies, what's role with 1:32:29.600 --> 1:32:31.200 a lot of the stuff that we own. It's like 1:32:31.280 --> 1:32:34.479 we always rely on something else instead of doing it ourselves, 1:32:34.640 --> 1:32:37.519 you know what. I have struggled with that point as 1:32:37.560 --> 1:32:40.640 well so much and one of the businesses. So I 1:32:40.760 --> 1:32:44.519 think it's really important that when you invest in businesses, 1:32:44.640 --> 1:32:47.400 it's not just about marketing to us, it's about doing 1:32:47.520 --> 1:32:50.920 something back for us. So of all the businesses that 1:32:51.000 --> 1:32:52.640 I've run, I've tried to do that. One of them 1:32:52.760 --> 1:32:55.160 is Shame Moisture. What we do is we make sure 1:32:55.200 --> 1:32:57.760 we are investing in women of color entrepreneurs to have 1:32:57.880 --> 1:33:00.200 their own business. Another one of the brands that I 1:33:00.320 --> 1:33:03.720 run is Dove. We are the founding member of the 1:33:03.800 --> 1:33:07.320 Crown Coalition, and Crown is creating a respectful, open world 1:33:07.360 --> 1:33:11.960 for natural hair. So we are actively supporting and advocating 1:33:12.080 --> 1:33:15.160 for change of laws to help us. But yeah, so 1:33:15.800 --> 1:33:19.320 let's dive more into this though, right because, and we'll 1:33:19.439 --> 1:33:21.760 use Michelle your book as kind of the center of 1:33:21.800 --> 1:33:24.040 everything they were talking about. One thing that I thought 1:33:24.120 --> 1:33:27.599 was interesting you talked about was motherhood and womanhood, right, 1:33:27.720 --> 1:33:30.680 not being synonymous with each other. So I would like 1:33:30.760 --> 1:33:32.280 for you to expand on that because I do feel 1:33:32.320 --> 1:33:35.120 like people are always like, for myself, I don't have children, 1:33:35.240 --> 1:33:37.720 I'm not married, but it always becomes an issue, oh well, 1:33:37.760 --> 1:33:39.920 you don't have any kids, so you don't know what 1:33:40.040 --> 1:33:41.880 it feels like to be this or you're not a 1:33:42.000 --> 1:33:44.679 real woman until you have kids. And that was something 1:33:44.720 --> 1:33:48.479 that you experience absolutely, and I still experience it to 1:33:48.560 --> 1:33:51.360 the stay and I'm over fifty now, so so I 1:33:51.439 --> 1:33:54.400 am a working executive. I am married, but I don't 1:33:54.439 --> 1:33:58.560 have children, and that comes with judgment. So and in 1:33:58.680 --> 1:34:03.080 my view, motherhood does not constitute womanhood. You know, I 1:34:03.200 --> 1:34:05.439 made a decision a long time ago that children were 1:34:05.479 --> 1:34:07.320 not in my future. It was a contract that I 1:34:07.400 --> 1:34:09.400 made with my husband when we were dating, you know, 1:34:09.520 --> 1:34:12.800 he was my then fiance. It's not for everyone, and 1:34:12.960 --> 1:34:15.280 so I talk about the judgment that comes with that. 1:34:15.720 --> 1:34:19.400 I got enough kids for all y'all, How did you? 1:34:19.640 --> 1:34:22.840 How do you both stand up to that? You know? 1:34:22.960 --> 1:34:24.800 And for myself, it's like I put it off for 1:34:24.840 --> 1:34:27.400 a long time because I'm working and that was a 1:34:27.520 --> 1:34:29.640 priority for me. And so now if I wanted to 1:34:29.680 --> 1:34:32.280 try to do it, it's late, but I still can 1:34:32.479 --> 1:34:34.280 if I choose to do that. But I also feel 1:34:34.320 --> 1:34:36.600 like I'm very confident and happy in the place that 1:34:36.640 --> 1:34:38.360 I am in life. But just because you're in a 1:34:38.400 --> 1:34:41.320 relationship doesn't mean that your whole, you know what I mean. 1:34:41.680 --> 1:34:43.240 And I think people think that in order for you 1:34:43.280 --> 1:34:45.439 to be whole, you have to be married, and I 1:34:45.479 --> 1:34:49.160 don't think that's necessarily true. Now, Acy, let's talk about 1:34:49.240 --> 1:34:52.160 you for a second and mentorship. So we talk about 1:34:52.200 --> 1:34:54.680 the importance of mentors. Have you had mentors to get 1:34:54.720 --> 1:34:57.560 to where you got to at UNIM I have. I 1:34:57.680 --> 1:35:00.040 have had tons of mentors, and I even like, I 1:35:00.160 --> 1:35:03.840 think beyond mentors, mentors or people you get insight from, 1:35:04.040 --> 1:35:06.320 they kind of show you the ropes. But I really 1:35:06.360 --> 1:35:10.880 benefited from sponsors, who are people that have said, I 1:35:11.000 --> 1:35:12.680 want you in this job and I'm going to make 1:35:12.720 --> 1:35:16.720 it happen. So one of my first big jobs a 1:35:16.880 --> 1:35:19.360 company that I worked for and retired from after twenty 1:35:19.400 --> 1:35:22.559 five years, the big job was to be a general 1:35:22.640 --> 1:35:25.479 manager and there had never been a black woman as 1:35:25.479 --> 1:35:28.760 a general manager. One of my sponsors said, before I 1:35:28.880 --> 1:35:32.439 was a general manager, maybe three or four years before Acy, 1:35:33.280 --> 1:35:35.120 I think you're talented and I want you to be 1:35:35.200 --> 1:35:37.560 one of my general managers. So before you do that, 1:35:37.760 --> 1:35:40.280 I want you to go do this one job. And 1:35:40.479 --> 1:35:43.280 sure enough, three or four years later, she plucked me 1:35:43.400 --> 1:35:45.800 even before I thought I was ready. You know, before 1:35:45.840 --> 1:35:49.320 I was ready, I was the marketing director for CoverGirl 1:35:49.360 --> 1:35:51.759 and running a bunch of makeup brands, having a blast, 1:35:52.080 --> 1:35:53.960 and she plucked me to be a general manager in 1:35:54.000 --> 1:35:56.320 another business. And I thought, I love what I'm doing. 1:35:56.360 --> 1:35:58.720 I'm not ready, And she was like Missy I said, 1:35:58.800 --> 1:36:01.960 this is for you. So I've had mentors, but really 1:36:02.040 --> 1:36:05.280 what's made a difference from me are sponsors who believed 1:36:05.320 --> 1:36:08.720 in me when no one else necessarily would pull up 1:36:09.120 --> 1:36:11.920 a black woman for a big role, and because she 1:36:12.120 --> 1:36:14.960 believed in me, it carried so much weight and helped 1:36:15.000 --> 1:36:19.840 me be success be successful. Studies have shown that women 1:36:19.920 --> 1:36:22.800 and or people of color are typically over mentored and 1:36:23.000 --> 1:36:26.960 under sponsored. So AC is absolutely correct. We we don't 1:36:27.000 --> 1:36:30.040 need mentors. We need individuals in the room who can 1:36:30.120 --> 1:36:32.479 make decisions, who are influential, who are powerful, who can 1:36:32.560 --> 1:36:35.360 make it happen for us. Now, and have you ever 1:36:35.439 --> 1:36:37.920 had a sponsor? I haven't had a mentor. I don't 1:36:37.920 --> 1:36:39.479 think I've ever had a No, I haven't had a 1:36:39.560 --> 1:36:42.559 mental or sponsor. Well you never had. Well, DJ Clue 1:36:42.600 --> 1:36:44.120 was kind of your mentor, who wasn't my mentor. He 1:36:44.240 --> 1:36:47.000 just kind of just told me about DJ. But he 1:36:47.080 --> 1:36:51.240 didn't guy me and show me this is DJA. That's 1:36:51.240 --> 1:36:52.840 what he basically said. He was like a DJ and 1:36:52.920 --> 1:36:55.519 he you know, but I didn't have a mentor. Um, 1:36:55.720 --> 1:36:58.040 I kind of figured it out on my own. Um. Luckily, 1:36:58.120 --> 1:37:01.760 I'm one of those hard workers, and I definitely didn't 1:37:01.760 --> 1:37:03.679 have a sponsor in real estate. I have a mentor 1:37:03.800 --> 1:37:05.600 now that that shows me and guides me when it 1:37:05.680 --> 1:37:07.439 comes to things. But when it came to this industry, 1:37:07.920 --> 1:37:11.200 nobody mentored me. Do we need to be more proactive 1:37:11.240 --> 1:37:15.280 and asking for mentorship or sponsorship or are we supposed 1:37:15.280 --> 1:37:19.000 to be approaching people and saying, hey, I really sponsorship 1:37:19.240 --> 1:37:22.000 is hard, and you know Michelle my dear for Michelle 1:37:22.160 --> 1:37:24.840 is an expert on this and what she does. But 1:37:25.080 --> 1:37:26.960 you have to find out what works for you. I 1:37:27.200 --> 1:37:30.160 find that for me, you have to earn it, but 1:37:30.320 --> 1:37:32.840 you need the exposure to earn it because we're not 1:37:33.000 --> 1:37:37.760 always in the room. And so I've found I've gotten 1:37:37.840 --> 1:37:40.680 sponsors from people who I've worked directly for, so they 1:37:40.800 --> 1:37:44.880 know me and so they feel confident that I can 1:37:44.920 --> 1:37:47.120 do the next job. At the same time, if we 1:37:47.240 --> 1:37:50.240 just leave it to chads, it may not happen. So 1:37:50.920 --> 1:37:55.040 some companies have official programs where they have sponsorship and 1:37:55.120 --> 1:37:59.800 mentor programs that cultivate relationships so someone can structurally get 1:37:59.840 --> 1:38:02.160 to know you and put you in a position. The 1:38:02.280 --> 1:38:04.160 other thing I would say is I believe we have 1:38:04.280 --> 1:38:08.120 an obligation to be sponsors and mentors because we have 1:38:08.240 --> 1:38:10.400 to create critical masks. So it starts that there are 1:38:10.439 --> 1:38:12.000 a few of us, but we have to bring people 1:38:12.040 --> 1:38:15.920 along and be committed to putting them. You know, other 1:38:16.000 --> 1:38:18.560 women of color or other women or other people of 1:38:18.640 --> 1:38:21.880 color and big important jobs. So you could mentor someone else, 1:38:21.920 --> 1:38:23.720 Oh I do, I definitely I have. I have a 1:38:23.800 --> 1:38:26.640 bunch of people that I mentor young DJs and and 1:38:26.960 --> 1:38:30.840 actually have this. Uh. Her name is Mercedes Walker. She 1:38:31.000 --> 1:38:35.400 was actually a basketball coach and um, she was a 1:38:35.439 --> 1:38:37.240 coach member when me and Chris Rock got into it. 1:38:37.680 --> 1:38:42.600 She was the other coach on the other team. His 1:38:42.720 --> 1:38:44.920 daughter and my daughter go to compete in school. So 1:38:45.000 --> 1:38:47.960 I was coaching. Um, you know, we was talking and 1:38:48.120 --> 1:38:52.000 we became good friends. And I just seen just how 1:38:52.080 --> 1:38:54.599 much intellect she had, how smart she was, the things 1:38:54.680 --> 1:38:57.040 that she did, and I've seen something that she was 1:38:57.080 --> 1:38:58.320 doing and I think she could take it to a 1:38:58.439 --> 1:39:00.880 bigger place if she had, if she to help. So 1:39:01.000 --> 1:39:02.760 I brought her into my company. And I guess you 1:39:02.800 --> 1:39:04.439 could call her a sponsor because I pay her, but 1:39:05.040 --> 1:39:08.840 that's a sponsorsor. And I brought her into my company 1:39:08.920 --> 1:39:10.840 and what she's been able to do for my company 1:39:11.080 --> 1:39:14.719 in the last like four months has been like just ridiculous. 1:39:14.880 --> 1:39:17.519 Let's talk about negotiating salaries, because that is something that 1:39:17.600 --> 1:39:19.519 I always stressed that black women need to do more. 1:39:19.560 --> 1:39:22.360 A lot of times we get offered you know what 1:39:22.479 --> 1:39:24.400 our pay is going to be, and we just accept 1:39:24.479 --> 1:39:26.840 it and we say, okay, well accept the offer, or 1:39:26.880 --> 1:39:29.120 we don't go in and negotiate for a raise. So 1:39:29.320 --> 1:39:31.200 what's some advice that you can give when it comes 1:39:31.240 --> 1:39:34.200 to that, Because that's something that I personally have had 1:39:34.240 --> 1:39:38.160 to experience and do. I would strongly encourage everyone to 1:39:38.240 --> 1:39:41.280 go into these conversations well informed. Do your homework beforehand. 1:39:41.560 --> 1:39:45.360 There's glassdoor dot com and other websites and resources out 1:39:45.400 --> 1:39:48.320 there that can give you the range in terms of 1:39:48.360 --> 1:39:50.160 the industry and the work that you're going to be doing. 1:39:50.479 --> 1:39:54.560 I'd also say talk to someone in human resources. I 1:39:54.640 --> 1:39:57.120 have friends in my ecosystem who I will call to say, 1:39:57.560 --> 1:40:00.679 this is the the offer that I I just received. 1:40:00.760 --> 1:40:02.719 What do you think? This is where mentors and sponsors 1:40:02.760 --> 1:40:04.880 come into play, because I will run things by them 1:40:05.640 --> 1:40:08.240 as well. And then lastly, it's not just about dollars 1:40:08.320 --> 1:40:11.280 and cents. It's the full package. So when you're negotiating 1:40:11.320 --> 1:40:13.320 the deal. There are other things that you can also 1:40:13.400 --> 1:40:16.719 look for, like you know, French benefits, you know, paid 1:40:16.800 --> 1:40:20.040 time off, working from home. I mean, so all of 1:40:20.120 --> 1:40:23.320 those things that don't necessarily have a value associated to them, 1:40:23.600 --> 1:40:26.080 they do have value in terms of the overarching and 1:40:26.240 --> 1:40:32.200 more comprehensive you know position that you're If you would 1:40:32.200 --> 1:40:35.839 discuss salaries with each other, it happens in the workplace, 1:40:35.920 --> 1:40:40.840 at least in mind. Often. I think we should. I 1:40:40.960 --> 1:40:44.439 think we should. I think it's used against us because 1:40:44.520 --> 1:40:47.680 we don't. There's a few things in addition to what 1:40:47.800 --> 1:40:49.960 Michelle said that I would ask always be willing to 1:40:50.080 --> 1:40:52.840 walk away. Yeah, and so that's one of the things 1:40:52.920 --> 1:40:55.920 that holds power over us is you know, I have 1:40:56.120 --> 1:40:58.360 my mother in the back of my head saying, you know, 1:40:58.520 --> 1:41:01.439 you better be grateful for that good right, right, So 1:41:01.800 --> 1:41:04.439 you don't want to risk that job, but being willing 1:41:04.520 --> 1:41:06.439 to walk away will help you know your worth and 1:41:06.479 --> 1:41:09.160 get paid for your worth. And then the other thing 1:41:09.560 --> 1:41:13.320 is not make it taboo because the work place will say, 1:41:13.400 --> 1:41:15.639 don't talk about salary and these are all the rules. 1:41:16.120 --> 1:41:18.600 But people that don't look like us are talking and 1:41:18.720 --> 1:41:21.400 they are more informed, and so we've got to break 1:41:21.439 --> 1:41:24.760 the taboo because we think sometimes it says something about us, 1:41:24.960 --> 1:41:27.240 we might be bragging. I think we need to move 1:41:27.320 --> 1:41:30.320 past that and establish a circle, just as Michelle is saying, 1:41:30.360 --> 1:41:33.439 of the right resources so that we can calibrate and 1:41:33.720 --> 1:41:36.160 were you know, the stats show that we are paid 1:41:36.240 --> 1:41:41.680 what sixty four cents on the dollar, so and so 1:41:42.000 --> 1:41:45.720 it's it's bad. So when we start talking, we get 1:41:45.800 --> 1:41:49.679 informed like, oh really, so I do think we should 1:41:49.720 --> 1:41:52.880 talk right. Well, I appreciate that you guys so much 1:41:52.920 --> 1:41:57.400 for coming to you ladies History Month because this was amazing.
