23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: still weighing heavy on people. You know, you wake up

24
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: in the morning. I just gotta text from a partner

25
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: of mine and you know, he's a father, and he

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: said he just can't get over He said, he just

27
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: can't get over that. That the fact that you know,

28
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Kobe passed with his daughter like that. You know, it's

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: more and more details come out, it just makes you

30
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: It just makes it to me feels even more worse.

31
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: So or even worse I should say, yeah, And I mean,

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think when you're a father,

33
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: I think it's the the whole idea of you know,

34
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: our job being able to protect and provide with being

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: in a position with your daughter the way no matter what,

36
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing you could do to protect her in that situation.

37
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: But listen, yeah, it's still investigating. But you just think

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: about a lot of things that you I don't want

39
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: to say you don't necessarily think about, but you might

40
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: not think about as much like when you're gonna think

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: about death, No, but when like you go on the plane,

42
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: right and the pilot that has control of everybody's lives

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 1: on that plane. Do you really Yeah, I've been telling

44
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: you about it. Bus drivers, how when I walk on

45
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: an airplane, I say hied to the pilot. When we land,

46
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,680

00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400

00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: who you know, Yes, I do that all the time.

49
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 1: You got to be extra night thro those people because

50
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: you don't know what they're going You don't know what

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: they're going through. You don't know how the day ass you.

52
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: You don't know the experience. You just you honestly don't know. Man.

53
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: But I was heartbroken watching the husband of the basketball

54
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: coach who died on that helicopter, Christina Mauser. Hole. Yeah,

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: he called into the Today Show and that hurt me, Like,

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: had to tell his kids, is that the one? Yes,

57
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: he's got three small children. Yeah. I saw an interview

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: he did that. He did an interview. Yeah, that was

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: Today Show. That was that was horrible. I don't know, man, Again,

60
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: our condolences, and then I just don't like seeing people

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: being negative in a time like this and having nasty

62
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 1: negative things to say, Well, you better move off to

63
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: this planet then. But that's what this planet is built on.

64
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: That's why I've been hanging like, not going on social media,

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 1: not looking at too much stuff, just because I think

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: it's just very disheartening the way people are in this world.

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: Some people you got, but you know what, I'm not

68
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: even gonna say in this world, I'm gonna say on

69
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: social media, I think that's a social media thing. I

70
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of that stuff is performative. I think

71
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: people do that because they just know they're gonna get

72
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: attention for it. Yeah, I just really do. I think

73
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: they know they're gonna get retweets, they know they're gonna

74
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: get likes, they know they're gonna get people adding them,

75
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna get written up in certain articles. Like I

76
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: just think certain things you can't even give energy. Man,

77
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: don't even get that. Don't even give that no energy. Well,

78
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: Bishop td Jakes will be joining us, man, nobody I

79
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: would want to talk to more other than probably the

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: honor up minus the lowest prior con But I definitely

81
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: was thinking about Bishop td Jakes the past couple of things. Man,

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: that is a person I consider one of my spiritual advisors,

83
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: and I'm glad he is joining us this morning. Yeah,

84
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, you know what in terms like this, if

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: you have kids, this is usually when your kids just

86
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: ask a lot of questions and a lot of questions

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't answer. You know. My daughter, you know, asked

88
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: me yesterday. You know, hey, Dad, you know, if if

89
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: you have free will, and we pray for God and

90
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: we pray, you know, for for God and our blessings

91
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: and pray for things, and you know, when you look

92
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: at situations like this, you know, why couldn't you know,

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: God put his hands in things and say, you know what,

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: do this? Do that? And some of these I just

95
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: don't have to answer for it. Yeah, that's true, you know,

96
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: but I mean we we all do make choices as well,

97
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like you can't I think

98
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 1: sometimes we give God credit for choices that we make.

99
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes there's just human error. Yeah you hope God,

100
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: you know, helps you through it, but sometimes there's just

101
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: human error. I you know, my guy, you know, I

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: talked to my daughter and I was like, yeah, I

103
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: said the same thing, and she was like, but if

104
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, if God is God, why I couldn't he

105
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: even fix that human error? You know that those three

106
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: young children on that plane that is a great question,

107
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: and that's all I can say. I don't have an

108
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: answer for it. That's that's I think. Sometimes we try

109
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: to make sense of the senseless. And that's exactly what

110
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I said. Some things just are Yeah, it is what

111
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: it is. That's the baby. Let's talk in the morning.

112
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Good night, all right, and also Steve Stott will be

113
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: joining us this morning. Yes, he's got Kobe stories too.

114
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: He actually signed Kobe Day's first record deal. Yeah, long

115
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: relationship with Kobe Brown. All right, so we'll kick with

116
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: both of them. Let's get the show cracking front page news.

117
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: What we're talking about, Well, they were supposed to be

118
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: a Lakers and Clippers game, and we'll give you information

119
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: on what happened with that. Also, Lebron has spoken about Kobe,

120
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: so we'll tell you what he had to say. All right,

121
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next keeping lot. This to Breakfast Club,

122
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: good morning, wanting everybody as TJ Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlemagne

123
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get in

124
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: some front page news. When we start with ge Well,

125
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about the NBA. They officially postponed the last

126
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 1: night's Lakers versus Clippers game. Oh, Tonight's Lakers versus Clippers

127
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: game that was supposed to be at the Staples Center

128
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: out of respect for the Lakers organization after Kobe Bryant

129
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: some time we passing, they said the game will be

130
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: rescheduled at a later date. I'm gonna be honest with you,

131
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: I thought that was gonna be something special tonight because

132
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: when I saw that on the schedule, I was like, Damn,

133
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,479
Speaker 1: the Lakers and Clippers playing the night at the Stables Center.

134
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's gonna be special. Can you imagine the emotions?

135
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: Though they probably didn't want to play, They probably haven't

136
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: grieved yet. They just probably just need some time to

137
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: just just get it all out. This system grieving as

138
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: a process. But I was just thinking about, you know, Lebron,

139
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: the show he might have put on it. It's all

140
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: very selfish reasons. By the way. Kawhi Leonard, you know,

141
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: he had a relationship with Kobe. He you know, trained

142
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: at the Mamba Academy. Like the show he might have

143
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: put on, Like, I don't know, I would have been

144
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: special all right now. The Yukon Huskies women's basketball team.

145
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: It's also honoring Gianna Gigi Prior to the game last

146
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: night against Team USA, they had a number two jersey

147
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: on the chair with the bouquet of flowers. Also, that's

148
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: where she was determined to play. She wanted to go

149
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: to Yukon, so they honored her as well. And they

150
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: said that Kobe had also trademark Gigi's nickname Mambasita, so

151
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: I guess he was getting ready for her to be

152
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: a star as well. All right, now, out over one

153
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: point four million fans have signed a petition they went

154
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: the NBA to change the logo in order to honor

155
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. So that logo has been the same since

156
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy one as an outline of Jerry West. So

157
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: now they feel like this petition wants them to change

158
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: that to be an outline of Kobe Bryant. I'm not

159
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: mad at that, actually. I mean, you know, I don't

160
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: even know what Jerry did to deserve that honor, But

161
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad idea at all. Yeah,

162
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: people saying it's a great idea, but you know what

163
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,239
Speaker 1: happens when you know Michael Jordan, When Michael Jordan passes

164
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: way down the line. Listen, God forbid, I don't think

165
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan would dies tragically with Kobe Bryant. That's right,

166
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. I think that's that's that's

167
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: the honor, right, you know the fact that he died

168
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: so tragically. I don't think that's gonna happen in Micho. Now.

169
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: You can also watch Kobe's Oscar winning short film Dear

170
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: Basketball online for free right now. It's five minutes and

171
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: twenty two seconds and it won an Academy Award two

172
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: years ago. It was the Best Animated Short Film. It

173
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: was based on the poem that Kobe wrote for the

174
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: players Tribute in his final season in the NBA to

175
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: announce that it would be last season in the NBA.

176
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: So if you want to check that out, you definitely

177
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: can do that. Did I would out Jerry Westfield's about

178
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: the NBA Local change. Has he said anything about it?

179
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. I haven't seen because his word would

180
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: go a long way because he's the logo right all right?

181
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: An I told you earlier the husband Christina Mauser who

182
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: also passed away and that helicopter crash, Matt Mauser was

183
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: on the Today's Show. He called in and here's what

184
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: he said. How difficult was that to tell them, let's see,

185
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it was the hardest to have

186
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: ever done. A doubt, how you telling try out? Their

187
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 1: mommies no longer with us? So he screamed, They yelled,

188
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: and I just held him, let him scream, let him yell.

189
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I can't lie, and I was. I would always get

190
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: nervous when she get on the helicopter. It's just something

191
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: in my heart, heartbreaking. No man, no man wants to

192
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: be in that position. No, no, no man deserves to

193
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: be in that position. I pray for that man. I

194
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 1: pray for that man. I pray for that man. I

195
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: pray for that man's family. Absolutely, Lord, all right, and

196
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: that's front page news. Also, if you're looking for a

197
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: Kobe gear, Nike has pulled Kobe's gear off the shows.

198
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: Why well, they're trying to figure out what to do

199
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: moving forward. Yeah, for right now, they don't want people

200
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: to resell for high numbers and things like that, so

201
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: I guess maybe they're producing more so they don't have

202
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: to deal with a resellers. But for right now they

203
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: pulled it off the off the Nike dot com site.

204
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: All right, get it off your chests. Eight hundred five

205
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one. If you're upset and

206
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: you need to vent phone lines to wide open the numbers.

207
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one is

208
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. The morning the Breakfast Club. It is

209

211
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: we want to hear from you on the Breakfast Club. Hello,

212
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: who's this the steward man? What's up? Everything? What's up? Steward?

213
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: Get it off your chests? Bro? You're a man? Scat

00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: what's up? Dollars? What's happening? First? I want to start

215
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 1: up at n RP to Kobe and his daughters and

216
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: every family. Man. It's sad, but that MSNBC reporter Alison

217
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: Morris man, we got to stop for giving these people

218
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: or the blatant disrespect that they do and hold them accountable.

219
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: You know, that was breaking news and abact that she

220
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: knews for us or not. She shouldn't be in that

221
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 1: position if she can't do a job. See, I'm saying

222
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: it made me really upset that she and I listened

223
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: to the take like a hundred times already. She clearly

224
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: said yeah, and I'm shocked at the progressive, liberal leaning

225
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: network like MSNBC didn't at Leasta spin her. Well, that's

226
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: a terrible time to make a mistake. And she covered

227
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: her own ass bout making a quick statement and that

228
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: was that you know what I I mean, you never heard

229
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: about it again. We got to start holding these people accountable.

230
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: Man censuries the disrespect dot com like Kobe was alleged,

231
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: and to have her say that, like, people don't get it.

232
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: To have her stake that about the Lakers and nations

233
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: and nobody's like, you know, I I see people on

234
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: social media defending her black people defender. She didn't say this,

235
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: you did. Said I'm like, wait, will this telling the stuff? Yeah,

Speaker 1: God was God, how come he let that happen? Or

304
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: how come you know how he allowed that had to happen.

305
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: And I was just sitting her thinking, you know, we're

306
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: all hurt by the incident with Kobe and his daughter

307
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: and the rest um that happened with the helicopter incident. Oh,

308
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: good morning Angela and Charlemagne by the way, morning the morning. Um,

309
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: it's not. We have to realize that God allows certain

310
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: things to happen. It ain't that he didn't stop it.

311
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: He allows certain things to happen. And it could be

312
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: that he's trying to get America's attention for some reason. Um,

313
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: whatever that may be, you know what I'm saying. So

314
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: it ain't that, you know, Um, he just can allow

315
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: things to happen, not that he just has the power

316
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: to stop it. He allows things to happen, you know,

317
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: And he allows this to happen for whatever reason. Maybe

318
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: he's trying to wait America up. You see what I mean.

319
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, all I know is we all we

320
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: all have free will, we all make choices and didn't

321
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: as God's will. I think sometimes we give God credit

322
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: for things that he's he doesn't have a he or

323
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: she doesn't necessarily have a hand in. But I do

324
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: know that if you believe in God, and you truly

325
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: believe everything happens for a reason, you gotta take the

326
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: soul called good with the soul called bad. Yeah, and

327
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's hard to say that to a child.

328
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: When a child praise every night for things that they

329
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: want and being grateful to be here and then see

330
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 1: things like this, you know, it's kind of like she

331
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: feels like, you know, you pray for things, you know,

332
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: and then this happened. So what are we actually praying for?

333
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: You know? That's that's the way of thinking, and those

334
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: those are things that you have to understand one day

335
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: on her own, because I don't have the answers. You know.

336
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: Another thing, I think we should start thinking about again,

337
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: what's that? And I haven't been thinking about this for

338
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 1: a while, even tho I grew up a Jehovah witnesses.

339
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: You do got to start thinking about the afterlife. You do.

340
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: Got to start thinking about you know, paradise. You do.

341
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: Got to start thinking like, yo, maybe there is a

342
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: place that's that's better, you know, than here, right, you

343
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And maybe it was just their

344
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: time to go there. I don't know. I don't know. Hello, Hello,

345
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: who's this? Hey? What's up? Get it off your chest?

00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: It was more of a it was more of a

00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: she was sought because I was moving on type thing.

360
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,639

Speaker 1: get her own stuff back. No, she came to get

364
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: like little gifts and and stuff. And the funny part

365
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: is when the police arrested her, they brought all the

366
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: stuff back. Wow. This is a tragic ending to a relationship.

Speaker 1: And the effects of Kobe Bryant. Find out what Ti

378
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: had to say to his family and also what fifty

379
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 1: cent says is not going to happen right now, all

380
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 1: because of Kobe. All right, we'll get into that next.

381
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Keep a lock this to Breakfast Club come morning. The

382
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. It's just say, oh gosh, go report gys

383
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Angela into it's the rum of report Breakfast Club. All right. Now,

384
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: let's talk about Terry Crews versus Gabrielle Union and America's

385
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: Got Talent. If you guys recall, Gabrielle Union is not

386
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: returning to Gabrielle. Gabrielle Union's not returning to America's Got

387
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: Talent because she said it was sexist. There was racism

388
00:18:55,600 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: there present, and Terry Crews responded about his own experience

389
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: on the show, saying this, first of all, I can't

390
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: speak for sexism because I'm not a woman, but I

391
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: can't speak on behalf of any racism comments. That was

392
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: never my experience on America's Got Talent. In fact, it

393
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: was the most diverse place I have ever been in

394
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: my twenty years of entertainment. When you look at what

395
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: the allegations were about, it was given by an unnamed source.

396
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: My thing is, you know, it's funny because I believe

397
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: you should listen to women. You should always believe women.

398
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 1: So I asked my wife. My wife said, well, if

399
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: she hasn't made a statement, why would you, And I said,

400
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna listen to her, all right. Well.

401
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: Gabrielle Union then went on Twitter as people were tweeting

402
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,479
Speaker 1: her about that interview, and she said, truth telling, wanting

403
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: change and having multiple witnesses who bravely came forward to

404
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: let everyone know I didn't lie or exaggerate really exposes

405
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: those who enthusiastically will throw you under the bus for

406
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: getting quickly who stepped up for their truth. Now if

407
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: you guys recall when Terry Crews had his own allegations

408
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: saying that he was groped at a party by a

409
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: high level Hollywood executive. Gabrielle Union had tweeted out, Terry

410
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Crews is a stand up guy. Literally one of the

411
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: nicest people in our industry. He is honest, kind and

412
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: true professional. I believe him and stand by him. Hashtag

413
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: me too. So people did not like the fact that

414
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: that happened. Now. Terry Crews then tweeted out, after the

415
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: backlash he got from that interview, I'm a hog, you're

416
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: a chicken. Just because you gave me eggs don't mean

417
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: I owe you bacon wow ancient Flint Michigan proverb. Then

418
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: he tweeted, there is only one woman on earth I

419
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: have to please. Her name is Rebecca. Not my mother

420
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: and my sister. My daughters are co workers. I will

421
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: let their husband's boyfriend's partners take care of them. Rebecca

422
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: gives me wings. Who's Rebecca his wife? His wife? Sure?

423
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: So Terry only cares about his wife, not his mother,

424
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: not his care about his daughters, his sisters, his homegirls,

425
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: his aunt, his mom. The only woman you care about

426
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 1: in your life's wife is crazy. That's the sad. The

427
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: only person he has to please. Yeah, No, the only

428
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: person he has to please. That's not that's not true.

429
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: That's not true at all. No, especially your daughters. And

430
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: if he thinks like that, I don't even know what

431
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: type of man he is. You don't put your daughters

432
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: in the number of people. What did you want to please?

433
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Her mother said, he'll let their husband's boyfriends and partners

434
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: take care of that boy certain certain things that your

435
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: husband and you know, your partners and your boyfriend's This

436
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: is love that a father can provide that they can't

437
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: at all. But if you don't have a husband's boyfriend

438
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: or a partner, then what he's just floating around? And

439
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: then I think Dad, even when Terry says, um, you

440
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: should believe all women, if he feels like you should

441
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: believe all women, and why would he undermine what Gabrielle said, right,

442
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,360
Speaker 1: especially because so many people were in agreeance with her

443
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: and they even had to sit down with her about it.

444
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: I think you should listen to all women, believe all proof.

445
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: That's what I think all right now. Kanye West did

446
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: a Sunday service paying tribute after the Grammys to Kobe Bryant.

447
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: They said Kirk Franklin wasn't attendance. He delivered a short

448
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: sermon about navigating the confusion and chaos after Kobe's passing,

449
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 1: and Kanye was a huge Kobe Bryant fan, so that

450
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: went down. In addition to that, fifty Cent said that

451
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: he won't argue with anyone after Kobe Bryant's untimely passing.

452
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: He went on Instagram and he shared a video of

453
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: himself hugging Kobe at a basketball game between the Lakers

454
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: and the Knicks. He said, I feel like I have

455
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: to achieve what I went in life now after this,

456
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: I have to focus. I'm not arguing with anyone anymore.

457
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: I'll deal with it another way. If there's a problem, Wow,

458
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 1: that's I don't like. I don't I don't like that option. Here,

459
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: what's the other way? Fifty I need to know the

460
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: other one. What's the other option? Oh? I didn't take

461
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: anything negative from that man. He is going to have

462
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: a conversation. Yeah, no, all right now. T I also

463

467
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 1: I know I've had my moments, but despite all my

468
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: shortcomings and transgressions, the fact remains, you give me a

469
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: thousand choices, and I choose you every time. I couldn't

470
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: imagine living in a world without you, or leaving you

471
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: in the kids to have to live without me. I'm

472
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: determined to make you happy by any means necessary, like

473
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 1: it or not, to love, cherished, protect, provide, and whatever

474
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: the f else it takes. Forever there you go. You

475
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: gotta love it, he said, and he you know his daughters.

476
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: I love you girls more than my vocabulary will allow

477
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: me to express. For his sons, he said, I'm so

478
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: proud of each and every last one of you, guys,

479
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: and so on and so forth. So everybody is now

480
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: reflecting after this. Yeah, I mean, all of this is beautiful.

481
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: We we gotta keep this energy long after Kobe and

482
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: his daughter and all the other victims of this tragic

483
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: accident are buried. You know what I'm saying, It's like

484
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: a honeymoon phase people go through. I don't know if

485
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: I want to call it a honeymoon phase. But it's

486
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: like a phase people go through after things like this happened,

487
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: and yeah, you know, but it's like, yeah, you gotta

488
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: keep this energy all the time. We've been in constant

489
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: remind a lot of people have been pushing the narrative,

490
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 1: and I've been seeing a change in the last couple

491
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,199
Speaker 1: of years with family love and children loved. I love

492
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: to see that. Dad's if you out there, make sure

493
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: that you're good with your kids. Make sure you're good

494
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: with your wife, make sure you're good with your parents. Man,

495
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: make sure you're good with your daughters. All right, Now,

496
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: don't be like Terry Cruz. Okay, it's other people his wife,

497
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: but it's other people to please out here other than

498
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: your wife's, especially your daughters. That's kind of all right,

499
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: Juice World. When he passed away, he had two thousand

500
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: unreleased songs, and so now they're talking about doing some

501
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: new albums with him. Two thousand that now, that's a

502
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: lot of work that he was putting in. So they

503
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: do want to pay tribute with his unheard work, and

504
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: they said there's several ideas floating around, including of course

505
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: doing an album or a new music release. He was

506
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: constantly recording. They said he didn't do anything besides to

507
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: ride his dirt bike and make music. So guests, pretty

508
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: soon we'll be hearing some of that. Now. I'm in

509
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: a juice world. Got a top ten record right now

510
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: on the Billboard Hot one hundred. It's called Godzilla. All right. Well,

00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 1: to what Lebron had to say about Kobe Bryant. All right,

00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next. Keep a lock this to

00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: Breakfast club. Good morning. I'm the type of baby latim

00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: we're talking about you, Well, let's talk about Lebron and

522
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: what he had to say about Kobe. He has broken

523
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: his silence. He posted on social media. I'm not ready,

524
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: but here I go. Man. I'm sitting here trying to

525
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 1: write something for this post. But every time I try,

526
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece, Gigi

527
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: and the friendship, bond, brotherhood we had. I literally just

528
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: heard your voice Sunday morning before I left Philly to

529
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: head back to LA. Didn't think for one bit in

530
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,719
Speaker 1: a million years that would be the last conversation we'd have. WTF.

531
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: I'm heartbroken and devastated my brother, man. I love you,

532
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600
Speaker 1: big bro. My heart goes to Vanessa and the kids.

533
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,479
Speaker 1: I promise you I'll continue your legacy. Man, you mean

534
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 1: so much to all of us here, especially Laker Nation,

535
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: and it's my responsibility to put this ish on my

536
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 1: back and keep it going. Please give me the strength

537
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 1: from the heavens above and watch over me. I got

538
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: us here. There's so much more I want to say,

539
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 1: but just can't right now because I can't get through

540
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: it until we meet again, my brother. Hashtag Mama for life,

541
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: hashtag gig for life. So Luke to Lebron, you know, listen.

542
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: If you aren't ready to say something, don't feel the

543
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: need to because everybody else is on social media. Like

544
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 1: I think, sometimes when it comes to digital grieving, people

545
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: think because they don't see you post something on social media,

546
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: you don't care you're not grieving. Yeah, and they be

547
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: in your comments like, oh, you don't got nothing to

548
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: say about Kobe, do't not to say about Coob. If

549
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: you're not ready to say something on social media, you

550
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: don't have to it. Social media is not real life,

551
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: I agree, all right. In The NBA also put out

552
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: a statement. The Commissioner Adam Silver said, the NBA family

553
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 1: is devastated by the tragic passing of Kobe Bryant and

554
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: his daughter Gianna. For twenty seasons, Kobe showed us what

555
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 1: is possible when remarkable talent blends with an absolute devotion

556
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: to winning. He was one of the most extraordinary players

557
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: in the hit story of our game, with accomplishments that

558
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: are legendary. But he will be remembered most for inspiring

559
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: people around the world to pick up a basketball and

560
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: compete to the very best of their ability. All right.

561
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: The BBC, by the way, has apologized. They put out

562
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: Lebron James video in a segment on Kobe's passing. Yeah

563
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: see that yesterday. That was dumb, they said, for this

564
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 1: human error, which fell below our usual standards. They did

565
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: apologize the wild human error. I mean, somebody did not

566
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: fact check that. Yeah, Kobe Bryant is a global icon.

567
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: He's a superstar. You know, if if they mistaken guys

568
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: like him for just other random black global icons superstars,

569
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: we are were in trouble. Now all black global icons

570
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: sports icons don't look alike BBC. All right, and over

571
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: one point four million fans have signed a petition. They

572
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 1: went to the NBA to change the logo to honor

573
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. So they went to go ahead and change

574
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,919
Speaker 1: that logo that's been the same since nineteen seventy one,

575
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: with an outline of Jerry West. That's been the NBA

576
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: is efficient official emblem since back then, and they want

577
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 1: to go ahead and put Kobe on that. And the

578
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 1: picture they have looks amazing, by the way. Yeah, I'm

579
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: not mad at that simply because you know, the Jerry

580
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 1: West logo. I'm not sure the exact story, but I

581
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: don't think there's really any science behind it other than

582
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: it looked cool. Just look cool. Yeah, you know, Kobe

583
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,479
Speaker 1: looks cool and it means a lot. Yeah, I think

584
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Kobe would be dope. And Kobe actually won five rings,

585
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: Jerry West won none. If I'm mistaken, Is Jerry West

586
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: ever want to work. I'm not sure. I know he

587
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: went to the finals a bunch of time. I don't

588
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 1: think you ever won it. And then somebody sit on

589
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: on social media that they tried the Jordan logo years ago,

590
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: but Jordan owns it and his actual company would lose millions.

591
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: So that's three so why. I don't know if that's

592
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: true or not, but I would love to see Kobe's logo.

593
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: Kobe on that logo? All right, Well, Kobe will be

594
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: honored with the Basketball Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty,

595
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: so he's part of that. Jerry West one one ring

596
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: is a player and for as a general manager. Okay,

597
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: all right, that's commendable. What a general manager? Don't count?

598
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: That's a player, Kobe one five. Look, I'm all for it.

599
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: Let's change it. Unless I like the way that logo looks.

600
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: I think that would be amazing. So, and the NBA

601
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 1: has also postponed the Lakers versus Clippers game that was

602
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: supposed to be tonight at the Staples Center. They said

603
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: that decision was made out of respect for the Lakers organization,

604
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: which is deeply grieving the tragic loss of Lakers legend

605
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant. His daughter Gianna, and seven other people in

606
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: a helicopter crash. They said the game will be rescheduled

607
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: at a later day. Selfishly, I was looking forward to

608
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: that game because I saw that on the schedule, and

609
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: I said, man, the universe is wild, the fact that

610
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: the Clippers and the Lakers are playing. We're supposed to

611
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: play tonight. I thought it was gonna be very special,

612
00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: you know. I was like, yo, Lebronic Kawhid gonna score

613
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: eighty one point. Somebody gonna do something very Kobe yesque.

614
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, I thought so Selfishly, I was hoping

615
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: that happened. I think they should cancel all Laker games

616
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: until his funeral. Until after the funeral. I'm not sure

617
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 1: when the funeral is, but I think they should cancel

618
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: it until after that, you know, because it's the Lakers,

619
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 1: their organization. I'm sure they're gonna have the funeral at

620
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: the Staple Center, but I think they should just cancel

621
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: to after let them grief. All right, Well that is

622
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 1: your front page news. All right. Let me shout out

623
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: my uncle, my uncle, Chief Jimmy Secredo. He's retiring after

624
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: forty years of being a chief and working for the NYPD.

625
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 1: In New York City. So I just want to say

627
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: advice throughout the years and helped me out a lot

628
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: of stuff, save my ass a couple of times. So

629
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,760

Speaker 1: many of times. Yes. All right, now, listen, we got

632
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: one of my spiritual advisors coming in, someone who I

633
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: love listening to, someone who I love talking to, building with. Um.

634
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: There's really nobody that I would want to speak to

635
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: more in this moment. Probably maybe a woman at the

636
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: Lows for I can't definitely, but Bishop td Jakes for sure. Okay,

637
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: yes he'll be here. All right, we'll kick it with

638
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: Bishop td Jakes. Will we come back to help us

639
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 1: make sense to some of this stuff? Or maybe he won't. Yeah,

640
00:30:55,960 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody

641
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are

642
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. We got a special guests in the buildings. Indeed,

643
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: TD Jakes, Bishop the Drip Jakes. I'm gonna tell you something.

644
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: There's nobody I would rather talk to this morning, other

645
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: than you thank you like like like hearts are heavy?

646
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: You know why the tragic acts accident that happened to

647
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 1: mister Kobe Bryant, his daughter and all the other folks

648
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: on the plane. Hell, how do you make the helicopter?

649
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: How do you make sense of that? Like? How could

650
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: that have been God's plan? You don't make sense of it.

651
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 1: You endure it, you survive it, you grieve, you go

652
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: through the process. I think where we get in trouble,

653
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: it's when we try to explain and understand things that

654
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: are unexplainable. Right now, we got to survive it because

655
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: our whole nation has taken a blow. The family and

656
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: particular sports fans, other athletes are are grieving right now,

657
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: and I think that to try to explain something like

658
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: you know more than you know, we don't know. They're

659
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: still investigating what happened, whether it's human error, there was

660
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: the weather or the climate, all of those play a

661
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: factor in it. We look for somebody to blame. How

662
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: could God allow that to happen? Or this or that

663
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: or the other. But right now, tragic things happen in

664
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: life every day. But this is a person that we

665
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 1: knew and loved and a part of our community. It's

666
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: okay to be sad, it's okay to grieve, it's okay

667
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: to go through those range of emotions anger and being

668
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: upset and what have you. But at the end of

669
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 1: the day, we're in a survival mode right now. Now,

670
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: what do you tell somebody who's on a fence with

671
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: religion and believing and they see something like this and

672
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 1: they say, wow, you know, he had a thirteen year

673
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: old that died, and there was other tweens on that

674
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: plane that died. What do you tell that person for

675
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 1: faith and how they can continue to believe. I think

676
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: it is your faith that gets you through those unexplainable moments.

677
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: And I think you'll have to realize it's terrible and

678
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: as tragic as it was. We're grateful his wife wasn't

679
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: on board. We're grateful the whole family wasn't on board.

680
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 1: I look for things that are positive in the midst

681
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: of the pain. Not denying the pain, but I look

682
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 1: for things that are positive. As for trying to get

683
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: somebody to believe who doesn't believe you, really, you really

684
00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: can't do that because God can't be explained, He must

685
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: be revealed. And you have to have an open heart

686
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: to allow that to happen in your life. Yeah, And

687
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: if you believe God does everything for a reason, you

688
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: can't only believe that when the positive things happen, right, Absolutely,

689
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: because many times the positive things come out of the

690
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 1: most horrific things in our lives. I mean, you look

691
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 1: at your own life. Sometimes the worst tragedies brought you

692
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: into an awareness or sensibility over years that if this

693
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: hadn't happened, that hadn't happened. Time will judge the validity

694
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: of the situation. Right now, we have to endure, and

695
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: you still have to lift up the family members of

696
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: who have lost somebody right now, and the daughters and

697
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: his wife and all the family members of the other

698
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: people who are on the helicopter too, and they lost

699
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: somebody completely different from who we know. When you're famous,

700
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: people know you from what you do, But your family

701
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: knows you from who you are, and it's a much

702
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 1: deeper loss. It's a greater kind of pain, and it's

703
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: very difficult to get through. I listen to a sermon

704
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: you gave on us Timber twenty second title keep it Moving,

705
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: and it almost seems like keeping it moving after death

706
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: seems insensitive. So how do you keep it moving? You

707
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: have to keep it moving because life keeps moving, because

708
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: bills keep moving, because illnesses keep moving, threats keep moving,

709
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 1: problems don't stop because you're in pain. And so sometimes

710
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: the therapy is in keeping it moving. But of course

711
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 1: when you're the family, you have to shut down for

712
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: a minute and breathe and recalibrate. And it may be

713
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: over the next two years or twenty years. Let you

714
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: feel that pain. My mother died in ninety nine, and

715
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: if I think about it hard now, I'll get emotional.

716
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean because and I don't even want that to

717
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: go away. I don't even want that to go away.

718
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 1: Because sometimes the sadness validates the value of what you lost.

719
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: It plain that a little more. With the sadness. The sadness,

720
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: the greater the sadness, it's an indication that the greater

721
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: the love. Some people don't feel sadness because they don't

722
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: feel love. Then if you're a great lover, you have

723
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: great pain when people leave your life. And to the

724
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: degree that we miss and we feel that pain in

725
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: that pain, in many ways is a tribute to the

726
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 1: significance of that individual in your life. Are there times

727
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: that you question your own faith? And is that a

728
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: common thing for people to do, to just question. I

729
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: used to answer that question and say no, and then

730
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: I went through something and said you and I have

731
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: to say yes. I have gone through those moments where

732
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 1: I was in grief and wondered, you know, why did

733
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: you allow this to happen. I was a little bit

734
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: angry with God. I healed, I got over it, I

735
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: was okay. But I have had those moments of challenge.

736
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: We have to remember that faith does not mean the

737
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: absence of doubt. Faith and doubt cohabitated in the same space.

738
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: And to be completely honest about it, that faith is

739
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: something we believe, but what we like to do is no.

740
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: And you cannot know. You have to believe. That's the

741
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: whole premise of being a believer is to believe that

742
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: which you cannot see. And you have to do that

743
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,959
Speaker 1: in the presence of voices of doubt who are telling

744
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: you it's not worth it. It's just like going to work.

745
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 1: Sometimes you don't want to go, but there's another voice

746
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: says you gotta go, and you're conflicted, and yet you

747
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: keep it moving. And I think a lot of times

748
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: people are trying to get out of the conflict. But

749
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: the conflict is a part of life, and we're all

750
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: conflicted from time to time, and yet we find a

751
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: way to keep it moving. That's right. There was a

752
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: time you said you thought about leaving the ministry. Yes,

753
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: I've absolutely been there and went through when I first

754
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: got in, especially National International ministry. All the things that

755
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: come along with that are hard to manage, notoriety, interviews, bloggers,

756
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: or last lastly reports. Mine was the Washington Post article

757
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: and I wasn't used to that, and I come from

758
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: West Virginia. I'm a country boy, and I thought, I

759
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 1: don't I didn't sign up for this. I don't need that.

760
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: But the reality is this one woman came into a

761
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: book signing and changed my life. She had just gotten

762
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: out the hospital. She'd had a tubal pregnancy and the

763
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: baby was dead and she was living with a dead

764
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: body body inside of her, so it almost killed her.

765
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: She was very weak. She got out of the hospital

766
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: against the doctor's request and came to me as if

767
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: she knew what I was thinking, and said, it's for

768
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: us that you do it, it's not for them. And

769
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:27,320
Speaker 1: when you go through moments of challenge and pain. You

770
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: have to find purpose, and sometimes you forget why you

771
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: do what you do and why you must endure or

772
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: what you endure it. And she she moved me like

773
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: in a major way. If it wasn't for that woman

774
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,840
Speaker 1: coming that day and talking to me, I don't know

775
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 1: that I would have been in ministry. Now, Well, we'll

776
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 1: do the Rightious always have to suffer. Everybody sufferers. Everybody sufferers.

777
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: The emblem of Christianity is across. That's a big warning

778
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: that if God's spared not his son, He's not going

779
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: to spare you. Everybody goes through suffering, no matter how

780
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: rich you are, no matter how poor year are, no

781
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: matter how famous you are, no matter whether you're homeless

782
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: or living in the mansion. We were all born and

783
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: we are all going to die. Yeah. Death is not

784
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: discriminated at all. Yeah, that's not discriminated. Would you want

785
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,439
Speaker 1: to know? Because that's we were talking about that this morning.

786
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 1: I was saying that it's yesterday morning. It was the

787
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: unexpectedness of death. I think that would you would you

788
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 1: want to know? No? I wouldn't want to know. No,

789
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to know. Some people feel differently about it,

790
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: but I wouldn't want to know. I wanted to surprise me.

791
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: I don't want to live waiting on a date to leave.

792
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: I want to live every day to the fullest, not

793
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: with the cloud hanging over my head about a date

794
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: that could be twenty years off, for thirty years off,

795
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: and then to adjust my life to dying. I'd rather

796
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: build my life around living and let death find me

797
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:46,720
Speaker 1: whenever it does. All right, we got more with Bishop

798
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: td Jakes. When we come back, don't move. It's the

799
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good Morning Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,

800
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: the God. We are the Breakfast Club. Were still kicking

801
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: it with Bishop td Jakes. What do you feel towards suicide?

802
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: Because you hear so many different things with suicide. If

803
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: you're suicide, you'll never make it to heaven. If you're suicide,

804
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: God to look at you. What are your thoughts on suicide?

805
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: So many kids are the first thing that popped into

806
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: my mind when you said that, it's not whether you

807
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: go to heaven or not. I think we should work

808
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 1: harder to stop suicide. I think that suicide is epidemic,

809
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: particularly amongst African American young people in a way that's reprehensible.

810
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: One of the reasons that I started the foundation that

811
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about is because of mental health.

812
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: And mental health is a huge issue in our community.

813
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: And I think you have to understand that a lot

814
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: of people who take their life, they really didn't take

815
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: their life. The sickness did. So the person who we

816
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 1: say committed suicide is as much a victim as if

817
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: they were a victim of a homicide, because if you

818
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,759
Speaker 1: have emotional mental health issues, it affects your decisions and

819
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: your judgment and your view of life. So to judge that,

820
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: who am I I'm not God, So where they spend eternity,

821
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: I'm not God. But I do think that the person

822
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: is a victim, and I would think that if you're

823
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 1: a victim, we just believe that they're in a better place.

824
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,320
Speaker 1: You're one of the first, you know, people at the

825
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: cloth that actually embraced you know, therapy and you know,

826
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: telling people to go out then you know, get help

827
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: for them mental health because a lot of times we

828
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 1: tell a lot of people take it to the church

829
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: just pray about just pray about it, and we don't

830
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: treat it like it's a sickness. We treat it like

831
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: it's a spiritual issue and it's a health issue. And

832
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 1: I think you'll have to differentiate one from another. Sure

833
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: you're going to pray, but you also do everything you

834
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,880
Speaker 1: can do to be at the best that you can be.

835
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: And I do think the prayers they are beauty, but

836
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: it is not enough for a lot of people who

837
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: have serious trauma that they've endured and they need to

838
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,399
Speaker 1: be able to talk, they need to be able to heal,

839
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes they have chemical imbalances. It causes them to

840
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,279
Speaker 1: be where they are. I got to teach her that says,

841
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: I go to therapy and I pray, absolutely, do it all. Absolutely,

842
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: I take blood pressure medicty to pray over it every day.

843
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: Pray it works and let it work. Jesus, you announced

844
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: planning to launch your own online Jake's Divinity School. Yeah,

845
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: it has launched. It's up and running. It's everything that

846
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm doing now is about training the next generations. It's

847
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: empowering them to accomplish their dreams, to reach their goals.

848
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 1: I'm leveraging my relationships and academics, and I'm levering my

849
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: relationships with corporate America to create a pipeline because a

850
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: lot of us, the only pipeline we have to the

851
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: world we want to be is the one we see

852
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 1: on TV. But you'll never watch TV long enough to

853
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: get there. So we have to stop watching our dreams

854
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: and start creating a pathway where we can facilitate our dreams.

855
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: I'll see more and more young people coming to church now,

856
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: see that more? Or is it's slowing down a little bit?

857
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: You know? That's a that's a great question. I think

858
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: it varies from church to church and from region to region.

859
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: I see a lot of young people who are really

860
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: interested in faith. Many of them are coming to church.

861
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: My demos are swinging younger and younger. Fifty percent of

862
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: my church as millennials. So I'm seeing a huge interest

863
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: in young people coming to church. But I also am

864
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: seeing a deterioration of attendance because a lot of young

865
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: people yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And you want to

866
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: watch what do you want to watch it? So we

867
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: stream twenty four hours a day. We scream all week

868
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: long because young people stay up at night and I

869
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 1: often sleep late in the morning. Nothing like what doing

870
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: your laundry watching Bishop TV? See what I'm saying I'm

871
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: working out in the gym. Yeah, I do. I mean

872
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: I arride in the morning. I put one of your

873
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: storm as long. Was it from YouTube or was it

874
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: the podcast? That's how I consume it. But I've been

875
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 1: to part of house as well. Yes, your head. There's

876
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: nothing like being a part of house. It's different. It

877
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: is different being there from watching it on TV. You

878
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: can get a perception on TV. But I think when

879
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: I was here before, I talked about the difference between

880
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: a picture and an ultrasound. When you actually go in it,

881
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: you see it from a whole different perspective than when

882
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: you're avoid your onluse. I feel like a college basketball game,

883
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It had that kind of energy like it

884
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 1: like a college basketball Any impact from Kanye doing what

885
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: he's been doing with his Sunday services, you know something,

886
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm thrill anybody who's out there who's doing something positive

887
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,640
Speaker 1: to help change the world, I'm thrilled about it. I

888
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: just hope that while he's busy doing that, that somebody's

889
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: taking care of him, because the problem with being talented

890
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: and being gifted and being good intention is sometimes people

891
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: are so excited about your gift that they take your

892
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: gift and leave you behind. And I think it's very

893
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: very important for him in order to remain stable and

894
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: remain functional, that he's not so busy giving to us

895
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: that nobody's giving to him. But I've seen the music.

896
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: The music is hot. I've seen it performances. I think

897
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 1: it's absolutely wonderful. But I want somebody there's a scription

898
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: the Bible says, no man cared for my soul. I

899
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 1: want us to care for his soul as much as

900
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: we care for his music. I would definitely consider doing

901
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 1: something like that. My focus, however, is everybody's hosting him,

902
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: who's pastoring him? Yeah, you understand what I'm saying. And

903
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: sometimes I don't want to be seen as a gig.

904
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: I don't want to be seen as an opportunity. I

905
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: want to be an year sometimes for people who don't

906
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: have anybody to talk to. So I don't want to

907
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: be in the crowd that reaching after him, trying to

908
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: snatch his gift. I want to be the guy who's

909
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: sitting over in the corner saying, hey, are you okay?

910
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: How are you balanced? How are you emotionally? How are

911
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: you mentally? Because we're seeing too many of our artists

912
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: drift away, be killed, commit suicide. Nobody was investing into

913
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,800
Speaker 1: that mental right, well right, And you need somebody around

914
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: you who doesn't just want you for what you do,

915
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: to say are you okay? Think of the culture shock

916
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,759
Speaker 1: it is to go from being in the hood one

917
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: moment to being a celebrity next moment, with no training,

918
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: no preparation, no therapy, and all of a sudden you

919
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: step into this world and you can't get out. Once

920
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: you're famous, you can never be anonymous. So your success

921
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: can become your prison. And so if you're going to

922
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: realize that, and you're going to recognize that, we have

923
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: to in our community have to be slow to join

924
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,800
Speaker 1: the bandwagon of stoning people who got into trouble. We

925
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: have to be more on the side of the ambulance

926
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,439
Speaker 1: who rushes to the scene of the crime to see

927
00:45:17,480 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 1: what we can do, because we are hurting too. We

928
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: know that you are hurting, and we know how to

929
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: speak the kind of language to get you back up on.

930
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:27,120
Speaker 1: I like to reduce people to their mistakes a lot

931
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: of times, absolutely absolutely, while we make our own. And

932
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: so we're all trying to figure out life in the

933
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: moment you figure it out. It changes. You go through

934
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: stages at different ages, and different ages bring on different challenges,

935
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: and nobody gets it right every turn because every turn

936
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,799
Speaker 1: is a new experience and you're back to one again

937
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: and you're learning again. As soon as you get used

938
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: to having little kids, they're not little kids. As soon

939
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: as you get used to having teenagers, they've left the house.

940
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: And everything keeps changing on us all the time. You

941
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:02,880
Speaker 1: never get to be a master at your life because

942
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: of courses keep changing. You know a ball all right, well,

943
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Bishop td Jakes when

944
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: we come back as the Breakfast Club, Good morning pj

945
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the God we are. The Breakfast

946
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Bishop td Jakes. When

947
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: your people come to church, what are they looking for?

948
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: You know, when my grandmother went to church, you wanted

949
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: to hope, She wanted to make sure that her family

950
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: was okay, and she had an opportunity. So what are

951
00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: people coming to church for now? Because it's different now

952
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: my kids are online. They look for certain things. They

953
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: have more questions and require more answers. So what are

954
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: people looking for now when they come to church? You know,

955
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: I think it varies from person to person. I think

956
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 1: hope has a factor degree. And then like we're bleeding

957
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: right now, we're talking about Kobe right now. It reminds

958
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: us of how the brevity of life. It reminds us

959
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: that we don't take time for ourselves. It reminds us

960
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 1: that there is a life after this life. And so

961
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,439
Speaker 1: people start to think about faith differently. But I also

962
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: think that people come to the Black Church differently than

963
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: they do for other people who come to church. They

964
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: look for our leaders to be involved in the community

965
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: in some way. They look for our levels of quantifiable results.

966
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: How does this help me right now, in the here

967
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: and now, not the sweet by and by inspiration the inspiration.

968
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:20,839
Speaker 1: And there's one other thing I want to bring up

969
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: that call these people to come to church. If you

970
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: come to church consistently, church becomes a family. And for

971
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: many of us, that's something we didn't have right I

972
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 1: learned sometimes it's not so much about pastoring our young man,

973
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: it's about fathering them. I got a few more questions,

974
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 1: how long can you go without tipping the water, because

975
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: even when I watch you sermons, never been answer that question. Incidentally,

976
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't know I can go a pretty good way.

977
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: I don't think to go for the water. Yeah, when

978
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: I get to speaking or teaching, the only thing I'm

979
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: thinking about is what I'm doing. We had a discussion

980
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: the other day about when you go into confession or

981
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: right if they have a responsibility when say, someone commits

982
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,160
Speaker 1: a crime and they go and confess that. Now, if

983
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,959
Speaker 1: someone comes to you and they does something, and they've

984
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: done something illegal and they tell you that, is that

985
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 1: something that you feel a responsibility to report to the

986
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: authorities or is that something that becomes this was a

987
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 1: confidential conversation. Well, you have the same kind of privilege,

988
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: said an attorney does when somebody comes and discloses something

989
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: to you. And that's important because nobody's going to come

990
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 1: talk to you about something if they feel like they're

991
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: going to get reported. There are some exceptions to that, however,

992
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: when it comes to child abuse, Yes, you are legally

993
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 1: required that if you know it, you absolutely have to

994
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: report it. There are other issues that are kind of

995
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: on the borderline where you have to use your best judgment,

996
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 1: but it has to be serious for you to violate

997
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: the confidential herd. If I came to you and I'm

998
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 1: gonna shoo Charlomagne tomorrow. That's serious. And the very fact

999
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 1: that the very God wouldn't like that, and the very

1000
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: fact that the very fact that it's that it is,

1001
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: and I'm going to I have an obligation to prevent

1002
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: that from But if it was already done, yeah, then

1003
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: that's what and how long ago was it done? And

1004
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: what can be accomplished by exposing that? It's a judgment

1005
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,759
Speaker 1: called Have you ever had to do that? I've done everything? Wow,

1006
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: And sometimes I have claimed my privilege as a clergyman

1007
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: not to testify in a trial. And that privilege is

1008
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 1: only held up in court if it is just you

1009
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:29,400
Speaker 1: and me in the room. If one other person is

1010
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,280
Speaker 1: in the room, or if somebody else was on the phone,

1011
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: it violates. I didn't lose that privilege and that ability

1012
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,719
Speaker 1: not to speak about the issue. I heard you on

1013
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 1: over Super Soul Conversations, your latest one to transform your life,

1014
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 1: and you spoke about how to use transformational thinking and

1015
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: moving beyond your limiting beliefs. What does that look like

1016
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: to you? You know, everything is about a change your mind.

1017
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,919
Speaker 1: If I change your economic status, but I don't change

1018
00:49:56,960 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: your mentality. Your status will fall back down to your mindset.

1019
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: Every change, weight, loss, health, changes, whatever it is, starts

1020
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 1: in the way you think. And until you begin to

1021
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: deal with the story you tell yourself and are willing

1022
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: to challenge your own truth, you can't really help a

1023
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: person to move forward when they hold to their old story.

1024
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: Well what about when you're not ready for that transformation?

1025
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:25,760
Speaker 1: Because I was thinking this morning, how can transformational thinking

1026
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: help you in matters of grief? Because when you look

1027
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 1: at a situation like you know, the Brian family, her

1028
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 1: whole life has been transformed and she has to change

1029
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: the way she thinks moving forward. But she didn't ask

1030
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: for that. No, you didn't ask for it. Nobody wants

1031
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: that sort of thing to happen, and it takes time.

1032
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: You don't change your mind overnight about anything, whether it's

1033
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: a tragedy or whether it's a decision to go back

1034
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: to school. They're the feeling of misplacement. Anytime there's a change,

1035
00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: a big change in your life, and give yourself time

1036
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,840
Speaker 1: to adapt to that change and accept that change, and

1037
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: then figure out who am I now without Kobe in

1038
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: my life? Who am I now without this job? You

1039
00:51:06,640 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: can have a new year, all you want to, but

1040
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: until you have a new youth, having a new year

1041
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. I want to tell you too, I finally

1042
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: got the worthy man. Really it hit me over the holidays,

1043
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: but I honestly just felt worthy of existing. It really did. Yeah,

1044
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: I remember that conversation we had. Getting to worthy is

1045
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: difficult when you have been abused or traumatized, or be

1046
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:37,719
Speaker 1: a little degraded, or have some issues in your past

1047
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: where you and if you don't get to worthy, you

1048
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: self sabotage. You can self sabotage opportunities because you say

1049
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: you want them, but then you sabotage them because you

1050
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,040
Speaker 1: really don't feel worthy of them. The hardest thing in

1051
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: the world is to love somebody who doesn't love themselves,

1052
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: because they will reject your love. They'll cancel it out

1053
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: every time because they don't feel worthy of being of

1054
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,719
Speaker 1: I don't believe that you could love me because I

1055
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: don't love me, so how could you love me? And

1056
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 1: that happens more times than not in relationships, in life

1057
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: and in business. And when I challenge you to get

1058
00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: to worthy, it is getting to the place that you

1059
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: accept the good things that God has done in your

1060
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: life and settling in as them being your reality rather

1061
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: than living the trauma of where you came from. Absolutely, well,

1068
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: that would mean everything to me because when I'm this

1069
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: is the most amazing event I'm bringing together. I've got

Speaker 1: to be in Charlotte at April twenty eighth through the

1078
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,839
Speaker 1: thirty first, And it's just a conglomerate of a lot

1079
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:20,719
Speaker 1: of different things because I don't want to just be

1080
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: inspirational and not transformational, because if I keep inspiring you

1081
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: and it doesn't happen, then you get tired of hearing

1082
00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be all right. So I want to

1083
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: put the elements in the room that cause us that

1084
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all right to happen in your life.

1085
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 1: People who pull themselves up, people who fought back, people

1086
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: who want when you know better, you do better. And

1087
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: that's why I'm having the leadership conference were the mental

1088
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 1: health and I'm putting myself on it. Come right on, OK,

00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 1: so many people heard you and I talk about when

1091
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,479
Speaker 1: you did your book and the power of your book

1092
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: and the power of your story. It helped a lot

1093
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: of other people to begin to beginning to be able

1094
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:05,759
Speaker 1: to talk. You're opening your mouth to speak about your

1095
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 1: life and about your childhood became a model for many

1096
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: other black men who don't talk enough. So I take

1097
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: you very seriously in that spot. I admire you very

1098
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,800

Speaker 1: speak about that, and I look forward to doing a

1100
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:24,280
Speaker 1: lot of things with you that I think it's very important,

1105
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club droving a clue box with Bishop td Jakes. Yes,

1106
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: I needed that word this morning. Only the only thing

1107
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm mad we didn't close out in the prayer, you

1108
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 1: know what, and we usually do that in the prayer.

1109
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: May God damn it. We should say that miss in

1110
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,400
Speaker 1: a prayer. May God knows my heart. God cares if

1111
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: you say damn it after his name. He might, yes, please,

1112
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 1: he might care about that too. But let's get to

1113
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: the rumors. Let's talk Shock. This is the rum of

1114
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: report Well. Shack opened up on his podcast The Big

1115
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,919
Speaker 1: Podcast with Shock last night and he spoke on having

1116
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: a really tough time with losses, including the death of

1117
00:55:22,640 --> 00:55:25,879
Speaker 1: his sister as well as Kobe. I'm not doing well.

1118
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm sick. I'm just getting over the death of my sister.

1119
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: And I haven't been sleeping after Asia's death because it's

1120
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: just you know, not thinking about just the good times,

1121
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: but thinking about the times when I could have did something,

1122
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 1: or could have did something different, or could have loved

1123
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: them more. And the same thing hit when I found

1124
00:55:47,160 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: out this news. I didn't do anything. I ever eating,

1125
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: I slept. I'm sick right now now. Her sister passed

1126
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:58,480
Speaker 1: in October. She died from cancer. Here's more of what

1127
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: Shack got to say about his relationship with Kobe. Our

1128
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: relationship was that of brothers. When I saw Kobe and

1129
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: his daughters loved them, he saw my kids love them.

1130
00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: If you look at my kids this Instagram. He talked

1131
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,839
Speaker 1: to Sharif yesterday morning. He was checking in on your son,

1132
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: so not an hour before his death. So all the

1133
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: stuff that this document between us, it was never a dislike.

1134
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 1: It's just listen, this is what brothers do. I have

1135
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 1: a younger brother. We fight all the time. But guess what,

1136
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 1: I love them, and I love Kobe Bryant. I'm the

1137
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: first to say, hey, I got four rings, and I

1138
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 1: know I couldn't have got three without him, So I'm

1139
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: glad we became closer. But I just sit back and

1140
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: say what if? What if? And the only thing that

1141
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: saidened to me is he's not gonna be here when

1142
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: he walks into the Hall of Fame, said they actually

1143
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: won three NBA championships in a row together. Yeah. I

1144
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: saw an idiot yesterday say, finally y'all want to put

1145
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: Kobe Bryant in the Hall of Fame. Dumbass. This is

1146
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: his first year of eligibility and he's a nominee this year,

1147
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: and he was gonna be a first ballot Hall of

1148
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: Famer anyway, foolish as all right, Well, Shaquille O'Neil's son, Sharif,

1149
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:08,799
Speaker 1: actually had just spoken to Kobe that morning. Kobe had

1150
00:57:08,880 --> 00:57:12,239
Speaker 1: sent him a DM you good, fam, and Sharif responded, Yeah,

1151
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: just getting this work in, trying to figure out my

1152
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: next move. How you've been And that was in the morning, ya,

1153
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: all right. Now, in addition to that, Kobe was actually

1154
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 1: working on a kid's book, and the author of The

1155
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: Alchemist was actually the person working on with him, Paulo Koelo,

1156
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: and he revealed that he put up some dms where

1157
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,520
Speaker 1: Kobe had actually sent to him, let's write that book together,

1158
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: and he responded anytime. And this was just last year.

1159
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: So now Koelo said he deleted the draft. He said

1160
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: it didn't make any sense to publish without him it

1161
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't add anything to relevant to him or his family.

1162
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't stop me from writing some day about things

1163
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: I learned from Kobe and how much of a larger

1164
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: than life person he was. But the children's book did

1165
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: not make sense anymore. Yeah, he put out the children's

1166
00:57:57,160 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: book last year. I forgot what I think it's called

1167
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 1: The Wizard the Ward the Wizard series that the with

1168
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: an large series or something like that. But The Alchemist

1169
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: is one of Kobe's favorite books, so even had recommended

1170
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: it to Kyrie Irving. Also, all right, now, speaking of books,

1171
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about Oprah's book club, because people are upset

1172
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: about the novel that Oprah has chosen for her book club,

1173
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 1: and you know she does. She does her club on

1174
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,840
Speaker 1: Apple right, and the book is called American Dirt by

1175
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: Jeanine Cummings. Now, a lot of people criticize there for

1176
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: having this book be the next book that she's featuring.

1177
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 1: And here's how Oprah responded. So when I first started

1178
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: to hear your comments opposing the selection, I was asking

1179
00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 1: the question in earnest, like what is offensive. I've spent

1180
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: the past few days listening to members of the Latin

1181
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,720
Speaker 1: Next community, and I hear them. So what I want

1182
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: to do is bring people together from all sides to

1183
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: talk about this book and who gets to publish what stories?

1184
00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: All Right, The problem is it's a white woman who

1185
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:12,040
Speaker 1: is writing about Mexican migrants and she got over a

1186
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,240
Speaker 1: million dollars by the way to do this book. And

1187
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: the book is also going to be adapted into a movie.

1188
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 1: And so there's a lot of criticism because the Latin

1189
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: X people are not represented in the publishing world, and

1190
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: they certainly don't get those deals like that when they

1191
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,520
Speaker 1: write about their own experiences. And they said, even in

1192
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 1: the book, there's a lot of things that aren't even true,

1193
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,200
Speaker 1: like she calls her mom a boila and you know

1194
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: that's grandmother in Spanish, and just other certain things that

1195
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,880
Speaker 1: she does in the book that are not authentic to

1196
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 1: the experience. So they have problems with that with American

1197
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: Dirt also, they said there's some plagiarism. There's a lot

1198
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: of similarities to other authors works. In particular, there's a

1199
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: similarity to author Aurea, who writes about and one of

1200
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: his characters in his book and it's a nonfiction book

1201
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: getting crushed by the tires of a garbage truck and

1202
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: she has a very similar scene in her novel as well.

1203
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: So basically, it's too much mayonnaise when it needs to

1204
01:00:05,240 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: be more goyas, which exactly, and Latinos make up only

1205
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: six percent of the literary industry according to a study

1206
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: on diversity, and the nation is close to twenty percent Latinos.

1207
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: What is the book actually about? Is it about the

1208
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Latin X community. Yeah, it's a fictional novel and it's

1209
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: about Mexican migrants, something that she has not experienced. A

1210
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of things they said aren't even factual that she

1211
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: writes about in the book, and she had a million

1212
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,600
Speaker 1: dollars for it. Yeah, but you know, when you do

1213
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: a fictional book, you still want to be true to

1214
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: what the experience is like, like you're writing about places

1215
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 1: in Mexico that don't even exist anymore, or saying that

1216
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 1: you're putting sour cream on tacos industry, just certain things,

1217
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: calling the mom abuela when that really means grandmother. That. Yeah,

1218
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm not defending this Mannaid's flavored mail, but just to

1219
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: play white devil's advocate. If it's a fiction book, I

1220
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: don't know if you got to be actual and factual.

1221
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 1: I think it's just be actual to what the experience

1222
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: would be like if it really was in Mexico. Yeah, no,

1223
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: it's it's a fabricated but it's supposed to be. It's

1224
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 1: a it's a fictional book. But you know, like if

1225
01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: somebody's writing about a Monk's Corner, you want them to

1226
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: actually name like real streets. You can't write about a

1227
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: real place. I'm gonna say the spaceships there. I'm gonna

1228
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: say there's all types of things there because well it

1229
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: wasn't like that. It was. It was supposed to seem

1230
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,560
Speaker 1: like it was real, because you could have a fictional book,

1231
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: you know, set in a real place with the stories.

1232
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's fake, fake, it's not a sci fi

1233
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 1: or anything like about. Think about all of these books

1234
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: that have been written about New York, all these movies

1235
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: that have done about New York. I Am Legend is

1236
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: a fictional movie, but it was based in New York.

1237
01:01:34,760 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Avengers if they fought here in New York when it

1238
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: was a fictional shut up, Yeah, I mean you can't.

1239
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: You can't do things like you can't do things like

1240
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: caul your mother abuela when Abella means grandmother in Spanish.

1241
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: That's just incorrect. You get it, okay? Well they also

1242
01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: they also what if your mom is somebody's grandma but

1243
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: not yours. Yeah, don't confuse me this morning like my

1244
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: mama Grammy and I'll play with her sometimes like hey,

1245
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 1: what's up, Grammy? You know what I mean? You're saying,

1246
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: are you defending this now? I just said, well, I'm

1247
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: just telling you. I'm just telling you what the controversy

1248
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: is behind all of this though, and the outrage, and

1249
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: they actually did have to cancel There was a book

1250
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 1: signing that she was supposed to be doing. They actually

1251
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: had to cancel it because of all this controversy, uh

1252
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: surrounding it and people are upset that, Oprah, why don't

1253
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you use one of these authors that write about authentic

1254
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 1: experiences that are actually Latin Latino that can tell those

1255

1281
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: he wanted to put out an album and he was

1282
01:03:45,440 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: actually part of a group and I signed a group

1283
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: over at Columbia UM track Masses. We signed him and

1284
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,400
Speaker 1: we were just coming off of like Llo cool J

1285
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 1: and Will Smith and you know, we thought we could

1286
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: make this thing work. And who also was in the group.

1287
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: There's a guys from Philly Guys High School with UM

1288
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,479
Speaker 1: and he stayed in New York, Man and he spent

1289
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: a lot of time with with NAS, with Foxy, like

1290
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: really trying to acclimate himself to UM, to what he

1291
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: was gonna you know, to do as a as an artist, Uh,

1292
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 1: to learn. And that's the thing that I got from him, Um,

1293
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 1: is that when he decided to do something, he went

1294
01:04:23,080 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: so all in envy. I mean, I've seen in my

1295
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 1: life maybe three four people with the work ethic that

1296
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: this man had, and it was just, I mean just

1297
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: beyond in anything. I mean just beyond um. You know.

1298
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: So anyhow, he came to New York and he lived

1299
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,560
Speaker 1: at me for a month, UM while we were making

1300
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 1: that album and and and during that time we became

1301
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 1: really close friends. And we became friends and you know,

1302
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,080
Speaker 1: last up until you know, his unfortunate passing. Yeah, I

1303
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 1: saw you uh to get his last game he ever played.

1304
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 1: He gave you a game, ball gave you. Yeah, we

1305
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: were the last game he played. And um, it's unfortunate, man,

1306
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: it's it's stuff. We lost. We lost a hero and

1307
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: he was now. The thing about it that's crazy was

1308
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: that he was now entering this comfortable state of giving

1309
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: away his magic, that sort the tips of the science.

1310
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Like he was giving it away that special athletes, they'd

1311
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: come to see him and get coached up. But he

1312
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: but as a businessman, he started to give away a

1313
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: lot of those insights that would be helpful to all

1314
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 1: of us. Where were you when you heard the news?

1315
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:37,520
Speaker 1: I was in the crib and I got the note. Um,

1316
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 1: and then you kind of want to believe that tmzs fake,

1317
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: and then you realize that TMZ hasn't been wrong in years, Like,

1318
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 1: it's not fake. They kill Wayne? They killed Wayne? They

1319
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: did Okay, look all right, well I did see that.

1320
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 1: I was like, when I wait for some other outlets

1321
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 1: to verify, to verify, well, you pray that it's wrong,

1322
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 1: and you you know, you also have a little Yeah,

1323
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: one eye opened with with TMZ. But that's how I

1324
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: first heard about it, and then I made phone calls. Um,

1325
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: we worked with the NBA and then you know, obviously

1326
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,400
Speaker 1: through the NBA and um mutual friends, it was it

1327
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: was confirmed that it was real two months ago. Yeah. Um,

1328
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: it was a great He was really going into that

1329
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: that like hitting his stride as a businessman. He had

1330
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,919
Speaker 1: it all set up, man, Um, you guy he leaves

1331
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: the game a year later wins an oscar. It's these

1332
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 1: are just crazy things, man, that he put out in

1333
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: the world. He and his daughter. I mean, first of all,

1334
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: God blessed the other families that were you know, lost

1335
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: ones on that on that helicopter. And his daughter, Um,

1336
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean she was the next Hymn. I mean, she

1337
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 1: had that dedication and focus. He was proud. He was

1338
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: very outspoken about women's college basketball and the w NBA,

1339
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and he was like, uh, the facto name and face

1340
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 1: behind um growing that sport. He believed in it, Um,

1341
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 1: and his daughter was gonna, you know, obviously go that route. Um.

1342
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: And just to know the poetic justice of it all,

1343
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,760
Speaker 1: like this guy passed taking his daughter to a game, man,

1344
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, like that's that's what he was doing. So

1345
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: it's tough, Um, and it it reminds you and we

1346
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 1: always get reminded I'm sure we all had these kinds

1347
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: of moments in our life that you gotta give people

1348
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: their flowers in their lives. You gotta tell me, and

1349
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 1: you gotta live every life. You live your life like

1350
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 1: you're not promised tomorrow. And you know, it's easy to

1351
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: forget that. It's very easy within um, the day to

1352
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: day of it all, um, and things that come thrown

1353
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: at you, to forget that you're not promised tomorrow. Does

1354
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: it make you question your own mortality? No way? Yeah? Always. Um.

1355
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: You know, at every at every funeral, every time there's

01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: a death, you think about you know, are you for

01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: me rather? Um? Am? I living my life the way

1358
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: I want to live it, am I. You know, if

1359
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: words were spoken about me, have I done enough to

1360
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 1: to deserve the words that I that I would once

1361
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: said about me? Depends who speaking? Al Right, Well I'm

1362
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: not I'm not here. I would just say in general,

1363
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: you see all the people who have great positive things

1364
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: to say about their experiences and their relationships with Kobe,

1365
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: and I think that's the legacy everybody should want to

1366
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: leave behind. Look, that's that's that's that's the point of

1367
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: what we all doing this thing for, right You have.

1368
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: That's the whole point of having kids and um leaving

1369
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: a great example so that that multiplies generation after generation.

1370
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 1: So you would want to leave a mark on this

1371
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:44,960
Speaker 1: earth and instill values in your family so that um,

1372
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 1: those learnings couldn't be uh multiplied, they could they could

1373
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: do something for generations. And I feel like I've always

1374
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:57,960
Speaker 1: felt like this, that you we are all blessed and

1375
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 1: your job is to take full advantage of the opportunities

1376
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: that you have. I've always felt like I was. My

1377
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 1: dad taught me this, like no matter whether I was

1378
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,479
Speaker 1: in the music business or a mechanic, Like, you got

1379
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: to really go as hard as you can at the

1380
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: thing that you're doing. It's like there's no reason not to.

1381
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,360
Speaker 1: That's that's almost the privilege and the obligation to do that.

1382
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 1: And all the great people that I've ever had the

1383
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: privilege to be around, they've lived their life that way.

1384
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: They never got satisfied. They never And you'd be looking

1385
01:09:33,400 --> 01:09:35,000
Speaker 1: at me, you ever look at people who in the

1386
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: greatest shape, and you're like, you see them running every day,

1387
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Like damn, I why they're already in great shape? Why

1388
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 1: that's how they're in great shape? Right? You see people

1389
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: who are successful in business or successful in life, You're like,

1390
01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:48,760
Speaker 1: why are they still going so hard? They don't even

1391
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 1: have an off switch. They don't even know what you're

1392
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: talking about. It's like a book mastering, like Robert Green,

1393
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: where he talks about mastering whatever it is that you

1394
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: want to do, and how many hours it took for

1395
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: certain people to master their arts and their or whatever

1396
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: it is that they want to be great at. Ever

1397
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: stop you you never stopped. If I've seen uh Damon

1398
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 1: on the show that the last the last last week

1399
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: or whatever, and he talked about how much you guys

1400
01:10:13,760 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: have evolved, you can't see it, but you don't even

1401
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: understand how super professional that you guys have evolved to

1402
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,560
Speaker 1: over the last five years, seven years. But the evolution

1403
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: of what And it's because you come in every day

1404
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: and you care, and you guys are obviously a family,

1405
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: and you have committed to one another to care. So

1406
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: when you interview politicians or it doesn't make a difference

1407
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: who it is, you feel that you are each play

1408
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: yer role, you add to the subject, you get the

1409
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: most out of the interview. But I couldn't have said

1410
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 1: that five years ago, right, I respected, Yeah, that's what

1411
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 1: broke was about. All right, we got more with Steve

1412
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: Statt when we come back. Don't move as to breakfast Club.

1413
01:10:54,640 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne

1414
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. We're still sitting

1415
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,640
Speaker 1: here with Steve Stout. Since you talk about working with

1416
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: the NBA United Masters, what is that deal to say

1417
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: you're providing the music. Oh, yeah, that's that's awesome. Not

1418
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: only did we so we were always working with the

1419
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: NBA on music, but now we did this relationship between

1420
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: Apple and the NBA and United Masses where we're basically

1421
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:27,600
Speaker 1: creating the greatest playlist for independent artists. So Apple and

1422
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: the NBA are promoting these artists that are coming to

1423
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: United Masters to create the greatest playlists for independent artists.

1424
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to think rap caviare but only for

1425
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:43,040
Speaker 1: independent artists. And this is just another step forward, and

1426
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 1: you guys are seeing it for sure. The legacy record

1427
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: companies are slowly losing their hold on controlling talent. The

1428
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 1: thing that I learned, and you've learned this in your

1429
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 1: individual businesses, is back in the day, you had to

1430
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,879
Speaker 1: go to a record company first, to find an audience,

1431
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: or you had to go to a radio station first

1432
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: to find an audience. Right in your business, you actually

1433
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: can find an audience before you find the radio. You

1434
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 1: can find the audience before you find the record company.

1435
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: So now you have the control. And that's all I've

1436
01:12:16,200 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 1: been saying for the last two years. But United Masses

1437
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: is like in the beginning it was fuzzy, like what

1438
01:12:20,479 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: is this to distribution company? What does that mean? Or

1439
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 1: what it means is if you found your audience before

1440
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: you had a record company, you have all the leverage.

1441
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: You don't have to work for them. In fact, they

1442
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: should license it from you. That's what a partnership is

1443
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: all about. A lot of what Damon has was saying

1444
01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: back in the days. Pardon his delivery, but he was

1445
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: really talking about that, right, like, you already control our culture,

1446
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: controls the opportunity. We already can build the audience. So

1447
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: why do you need to then turn that over to

1448
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:57,160
Speaker 1: somebody else to own when you could retain it and

1449
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 1: they can just license it. And that's that's been my

1450
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 1: with the record business. Not that the record business is wrong,

1451
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: but what used to be the way or the only way,

1452
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:10,680
Speaker 1: it's no longer the way at all. We've been the

1453
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:14,040
Speaker 1: launching pad for a few actes yet little tacker um,

1454
01:13:14,600 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 1: y'all see from the time NLA Shopper game. Here see

1455
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: what took man, And I've done this in broaddaylight. This

1456
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: this is broadday light, Like, oh my god, Steve stops

1457
01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: putting his career in I know, I'm putting your intelligence

1458
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 1: on the line. Really think alike, like you guys are

1459
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 1: just you almost like when when the business moves your

1460
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: mentality the mindset to the fact that you guys conflict

1461
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,680
Speaker 1: all that. Yes, y'all, I think hip hop has understood

1462
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 1: that really well right and often that's probably where um

1463
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: the similarities end, where the differences coming style, delivery, approach, um, consistency, persistence.

1464
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,320
Speaker 1: I don't know, do you guys still have conversation just now,

1465
01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,560
Speaker 1: because I know he said you all had a conversation

1466
01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:13,280
Speaker 1: and said no, I mean, I've seen him at Kanye Stinging.

1467
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,120
Speaker 1: I told him like you were a lot of things

1468
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: that you said you were right, but your delivery was

1469
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: off and the evolution of us as men um. I

1470
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: would probably had never told him that at thirty five,

1471
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: but I probably didn't realize that at thirty five, you know,

1472
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: but at you know, forty nine years old. I could

1473
01:14:31,479 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: easily tell him that, and it's no problem. I could.

1474
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,120
Speaker 1: By the way, I have no problem with it with anybody. Um,

1475
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm on the other side of it now. I'm I'm

1476
01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 1: already Steve stout Man, I'm cool. How much longer did

1477
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: these legacy companies have because I can see all of

1478
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: these artists getting out there deals, Like you know, Meek

1479
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 1: mil got like one album left. I think he got

1480
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,600
Speaker 1: like one album left. I think Drake might have what

1481
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 1: I went out and I can see all of them

1482
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:55,560
Speaker 1: get out there. Drake, by the way, Drake, Drake is

1483
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: about to catch him bag? Really, oh god, from you

1484
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: might catch the biggest bat I got ever received from

1485
01:15:02,360 --> 01:15:06,839
Speaker 1: individual artists, from arts, from yeah, from from labels, from anybody.

1486
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: Maybe he may catch the biggest bag of recording artists

1487
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:16,040
Speaker 1: ever received period upfront? What's the science behind that? When

1488
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 1: you do just creat Apple Exclusive, he's the biggest Well,

1489
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:21,639
Speaker 1: he's if he if he decided to go to Apple Exclusive,

1490
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,040
Speaker 1: if he decided to go to Apple and Spotify and

1491
01:15:24,240 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: own his rights going forward, they would pay him anything

1492
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: if if if, if Universal wants to keep him because

1493
01:15:30,400 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 1: the record companies, they're in this spot where um the

1494
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:38,800
Speaker 1: biggest acts, the biggest artist the weekend post Malone, um

1495
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: sand your comments of uh Drake being the biggest, they

1496
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: have the best deals in their favor. So the record

1497
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 1: companies the biggest artists of the of the deals that

1498
01:15:52,880 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: they have the worst arrangement with, right, and those deals

1499
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: are bad. But they also say we got Drake that right,

1500
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: and they used that to sign other artists, so that

1501
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: paying a premium to keep those acts in. And if

1502
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: those acts start leaving because they're on short term deals,

1503
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: if those acts start leaving, that's when you will seek

1504
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing flip over and somebody's gonna do it.

1505
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,760
Speaker 1: Did you try to take a clue from Dame Dash?

1506
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Is that story true? Yeah? Let me tell exactly what happened. Well, yeah,

1507
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: I can't be mad ascent because he don't you because

1508
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 1: that's not even because because what happened was what's funny

1509
01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: is Dame say Clue, I'm gonna give you a deal.

1510
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: And six months went by and he had no deal,

1511
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: and then Clue asked me to manage him. And I'm like,

1512
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:44,240
Speaker 1: there's nothing to manage. You have no deal. Could you

1513
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 1: help me with my deal. No follow up whatever. They

1514
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 1: must have been in the middle of the hindsight. They

1515
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: didn't get this man a contract. So now I'm sitting

1516
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: there at the top of Columbia Records and Clues like, well,

1517
01:16:56,760 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: I want to get my record. I'm like, well, then

1518
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: I'll give you a deal. That actually led to how

1519
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 1: Jay and I got close because we were sitting at

01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:23,240

1532
01:17:46,479 --> 01:17:52,080

1533
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: they came in and um, I had made a joke

1534
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: something I talked about. Look, I don't care about no

1535

1541
01:18:15,120 --> 01:18:17,640
Speaker 1: we did. And I was like, but then Jay and

1542
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,120

1550
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,400

1551
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: of Warcraft is mainstream, right, Fortnite's mainstream. Miss pac Man

1552
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: was big. This is something else. We're still at Miss

1562
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, so, according to fab

1563
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: he was on Rock the Bells Radio and he talked

1564
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: about actually being cast on the Sopranos and filming and everything,

1565
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 1: and then he didn't even end up on the show.

1566
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: Here's what happened. I would like to tap into some

1567
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 1: acting and and do that as well. I think I

1568
01:19:54,479 --> 01:19:56,160
Speaker 1: was trying it when I was a little younger, but

1569
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: they used to tell me my face out of baby face,

1570
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: and I was like actually losing some roles because I

1571
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,840
Speaker 1: wasn't looking old enough to play. I lost a role

1572
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 1: on the Sopranos back in the days, and they just

1573
01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: said I just looked like I was seventeen eighteen next

1574
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 1: to the today's mob, like you tie your mom, guys,

1575
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: and I you know, they ended up using somebody else

1576
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 1: and I shot the shot it and everything, and they

1577
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:19,680
Speaker 1: just like you just looked like a baby compared to them.

1578
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: That sucks that you went through all that work and

1579
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:25,200
Speaker 1: then they decide that you just look too young. What

1580
01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying, how old had to be like in his

1581
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:33,840
Speaker 1: early twenties room, Yeah and yeah, maybe late twenties. How

1582
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: long goes that? That was like thirteen years ago? There

1583
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 1: was fab dominican or right. I think he's half a half? Yeah,

1584
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:43,600
Speaker 1: I remember. No people were coloring on sopranos like that.

1585
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember. I don't recovery.

1586
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Off the top of my head, I can't think of anybody. Now.

1587
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 1: It went black for the last episode, real last episode.

1588
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: All right, Now, let's talk about Kareem Hunt. He was

1589
01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,160
Speaker 1: driving down the freeway in this video for the of

1590
01:21:00,240 --> 01:21:04,240
Speaker 1: this that TMZ Sports got, and you know he plays

1591
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:05,720
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. He's a running back with the

1592
01:21:05,720 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. And he goes past an officer and the

1593
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: officer stops him, and the cop gets him out of

1594
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:16,600
Speaker 1: the car, and here's what happens. I've been through a

1595
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 1: lot No, yeah, d yes does man, So you know

1596
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,920
Speaker 1: about this stuff, right? Uh? Brother? So I hate to

1597
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: say this, but I mean you if anybody should should

1598
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: know that, like if you're trying to like stay good,

1599
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: stay go in the right path, had stuff this and

1600
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 1: know where to go. Yeah, man, it's not it's not not.

1601
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I mean sorry, here's almost doing the right your traffic ticket.

1602
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,600
Speaker 1: Then I'll just sees this stuff like that. I'm like

1603
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: one of the hugest Browns fans ever, right, and it's

1604
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: hard grating and HARKing Browns every single year. Like this

1605
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 1: the way to do it. Dude, you know what happened

1606
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,719
Speaker 1: to me? I should be playing for a freaking super Bowl.

1607
01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 1: And so he was pretty emotional a while he was

1608
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: talking to this police officer and the cop did let

1609
01:21:58,880 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 1: him off with just a speeding two get and sent

1610
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: him on his way. He took the weed from him,

1611
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: But she's that could have went left that office is

1612
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna be suspended. I'm sure now because you think so,

1613
01:22:09,560 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you let somebody go with an open open

1614
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 1: containing a liquor and weed and it's taped. But I

1615
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: wonder how that video footage got out. That's what I said.

1616
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: They must have released it. Does the police officer have

1617
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: to arrest you? I believe so you know your father's

1618
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: a cop, like, they're not obligated to do that. Don't

1619
01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 1: Can't they use their judgment and not. My dad's been

1620
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: retired for like fifteen to twenty years because he did

1621
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: give him a ticket. Still, he just didn't give him.

1622
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm not you know what, I'm not sure was there

1623
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: anybody else in the call with him. I know he

1624
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: was maybe don't let somebody else drive. But the open

1625
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: container liquors serious, I would assume maybe that's just a

1626
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 1: ticket in someplace. Maybe I don't know. In some places,

1627
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,679
Speaker 1: open container might just be a ticket, all right. Jaden

1628
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 1: Smith is celebrating Tyler the Creators a Grammy win now.

1629
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:54,160
Speaker 1: He posted, my boyfriend just won a Grammy and then

1630
01:22:54,280 --> 01:22:59,080
Speaker 1: Tyler responded, Hahi, you are crazy man, and Jaden responded,

1631
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:02,479
Speaker 1: told everyone you can't deny it now. First of all,

1632
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:06,040
Speaker 1: I think Jaden Smith is the Mahatma Gandhi of our generation.

1633
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:08,080
Speaker 1: But that is how you talk to your holes. You know,

1634
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,040
Speaker 1: when your holes put you on blasts on social media bla,

1635
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,160
Speaker 1: that's my boyfriend, like ha ha, are you crazy? Are

1636
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: you wore you crazy? Girl? Like treating Jaden like one

1637
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 1: of the holes all right now, a judge has sentenced

1638
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Gjelanni Mirage in court and Jelanni Mirages Nicki Minaj's brother.

1639
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: He was sentenced to twenty five years to life in

1640
01:23:29,479 --> 01:23:32,880
Speaker 1: prison following the guilty verdict and his child a rape

1641
01:23:32,920 --> 01:23:36,600
Speaker 1: trial so well earned him right. So they said that

1642
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 1: we hope that today's verdict will help the family in

1643
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: the healing process. I'm sure that has to be tough

1644
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 1: for the rest of the family to have to deal with,

1645
01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,760
Speaker 1: and for the family of the young girl. And listen

1646
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:49,799
Speaker 1: to this, Megan Markel and Prince Harry. According to experts

1647
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: who actually booked for speaking engagements and book deals, they

1648
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: could get five hundred thousand dollars or more each to

1649
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: speak in front of people. So it looks like they're

1650
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna do okay even after leaving the royal family. How

1651
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: much they get for hosting parties though probably about the

1652
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: same about ten stacks for they'll definitely getting more than

1653
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: ten stacks to host a party. Stop it. He should

1654
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,280

01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 1: they would get about a million dollars each. Man. We

1667
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:48,080

1671
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty six thousand. I can't give a fifteen.

1672
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 1: I give about five stacks. That's it. Megan Marco gets

1673
01:25:01,800 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: five stacks for the walk through. She got four hundred

1674
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 1: and forty six dollars. But I thought they had a

1675
01:25:05,960 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 1: four period of time. Get they had to get rid

1676
01:25:07,680 --> 01:25:10,120
Speaker 1: of their social media. Are you sure that's her page

1677
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,320
Speaker 1: not now? To producer say yeah, no, no, no, they

1678
01:25:12,360 --> 01:25:14,879
Speaker 1: had to do it. It's the Duke and Duchess of Sussex,

1679
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:17,160
Speaker 1: so it's the at Sussex Royal. That's what they had

1680
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,439
Speaker 1: to do. It's eleven point one million, eleven point one

1681
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: eleven point one million, So in the UK they'll get

1682
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:24,240
Speaker 1: they can get top dollar for a walk through. Here

1683
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,840
Speaker 1: in America five racks if they posted now they posted

1684
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: with eleven eleven million, five weeken ten. If you got

1685
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 1: to do it in the UK, I guarantee majority and follows.

1686
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 1: In the UK, you write, you write five racks, five

1687
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,800
Speaker 1: racks for the walk through, the walk through, they'll definitely

1705
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 1: special guest in the building. Yes, indeed, Mayor of Atlantic City,

1706
01:26:27,439 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: Marty Smalls. Welcome, Sid, what's up, DJ Envy, Charlomagne and

1707
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:34,720
Speaker 1: guy Marty King. Pleasure for me to be here now.

1708
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: Now for those people that don't know, you just became

1709
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: mayor at the end of two thousand and nineteen. Yes,

1710
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 1: the previous mayor was arrested for wire fraud. Because so

1711
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: let's talk about that. How you became the mayor of

1712
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, well by law, um by Act of law.

1713
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: I was a city council president for the City of

1714
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Atlantic City, and by statute, if something was to happen

1715
01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: to the mayor, the city council president ascended the position automatically.

1716
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:05,840
Speaker 1: So around five o'clock October third, I became the fishing mayor,

1717
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,400
Speaker 1: were acting mayor of the City of Atlantic City. Then

1718
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:11,920
Speaker 1: the next day we held the private swearing in ceremony

1719
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: and then a public press conference to announce me as

1720
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,839
Speaker 1: a new mayor. And you know, it's not the traditional

1721
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:22,360
Speaker 1: way to get the seat, but as I always said

1722
01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:25,280
Speaker 1: at the same time, it's an incredible opportunity. So then

1723
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: there was a couple more hurdles. We got support from

1724
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 1: the Atlantic City Democratic Committee thirty three to nothing, and

1725
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: that was the next step. And then it went to

1726
01:27:33,760 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 1: city council, who by unanimous vote selected me, and on

1727
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:40,519
Speaker 1: October fifteenth, the acting title was removed and I'm to

1728
01:27:40,680 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 1: serve to the special election coming up in June, and

1729
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: then that will be for the balance of his term,

1730
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: and then next year is the full four year term.

1731
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:51,800
Speaker 1: What did you think of him as a mayor before

1732
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: that situation? Now, but they say he sold eighty seven

1733
01:27:54,120 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: grand or something like that from a youth basketball team. Yeah,

1734
01:27:56,920 --> 01:27:59,960
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's that's unfortunate. And I always stay

1735
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 1: above the fray and I wanted to let the legal

1736
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: process play out. As I stated oftentimes that was between

1737
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,759
Speaker 1: him and the FBI and the world. So the final results,

1738
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's his situation. I'm not going

1739
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: to kick the man while he's down, but I can

1740
01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:18,040
Speaker 1: only say that I'm ready to take Atlantic City to

1741
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: the next level and various levels. And with that, you know,

1742
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 1: Atlantic City's a gold minded people. And like I was

1743
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,839
Speaker 1: telling Envy, we're fighting this change of government where retired

1744
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:34,000
Speaker 1: North Jersey Senator Ray Lesniett, billionaire casino owner, Resorts Local

1745
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 1: fifty four, Bob mcdevin, who's the head of the casino unions,

1746
01:28:38,080 --> 01:28:41,840
Speaker 1: they are conspiring to overturn the City of Atlantic City's

1747
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 1: government because they can't control who's in charge. I've always

1748
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: been one that's been purely for the people, not for

1749
01:28:47,880 --> 01:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the problem brokers, and I'm always going to do its

1750
01:28:50,040 --> 01:28:52,479
Speaker 1: best for the City of Atlantic City. So they had

1751
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 1: a petition. We believe that the petition was defective. How

1752
01:28:56,439 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 1: they got the signatures. They played on people's motion When

1753
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: we had a spree of three murders in ten days,

1754
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 1: with two females getting killed. They said, if you want

1755
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:09,400
Speaker 1: to stop Violet, sign this. When the Section natelist came out,

1756
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,560
Speaker 1: if you want to get on a Section natelist, sign this.

1757
01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 1: So it looks like we're headed for a battle on

1758
01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:17,000
Speaker 1: March thirty first to change the form of government, and

1759
01:29:17,040 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: we're just telling people to vote no. And if this

1760
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 1: can happen in Atlantic City, it can happen in any town.

1761
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:23,320
Speaker 1: What did they trying to do with Atlantic City? They

1762
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: trying to control Atlantic City. So they see what they

1763
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 1: want to do with the casinos, the casinos, everything is

1764
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,400
Speaker 1: tied to North Jersey casinos. And we already had an

1765
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 1: overwhelming referendum where the voters about eighty six percent rejected

1766
01:29:35,400 --> 01:29:38,519
Speaker 1: casinos in the North. So you question, why would someone

1767
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,519
Speaker 1: from Elizabeth, New Jersey be interested in saying we need

1768
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:44,799
Speaker 1: a better government for Atlantic City. So if the yes prevails,

1769
01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 1: all ten elected officials, the nine council people, and myself

1770
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: are immediately gone. And who who would run Atlantic City?

1771
01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 1: How it was all white people? Yes, it's it's definitely racist.

1772
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 1: And people that know me know that I speak my mind.

1773
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,840
Speaker 1: This couldn't happen in any other town, Like I said,

1774
01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 1: the state of New Jersey and the money that goes

1775
01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,200
Speaker 1: out of the city of Atlantic City to the tune

1776
01:30:07,200 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 1: of one hundred and fifty four point five million dollars

1777
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,439
Speaker 1: that the residents of Atlantic City don't see. So all

1778
01:30:12,479 --> 01:30:15,240
Speaker 1: of those amenities and things that you get. So Charlottagne,

1779
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:18,240
Speaker 1: you come to Atlantic City tomorrow right, and you stay

1780
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: to Monday. You stay at pick a casin a hard rock.

1781
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:26,760
Speaker 1: You park your car, that's parking tax. You check into

1782
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:30,200
Speaker 1: the room, that's hotel tax. You say I'm going to

1783
01:30:30,280 --> 01:30:33,200
Speaker 1: a concert that night, or buy a drink, that's that's

1784
01:30:33,240 --> 01:30:36,599
Speaker 1: the luxury tax. After the game, after the concert, you say, look,

1785
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:39,759
Speaker 1: it's a West Coast basketball game. One, that's sports betting.

1786
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: When you do that three days in a row, the

1787
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: city of Atlantic City doesn't get a penny where the

1788
01:30:46,560 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 1: money goes to the State of New Jersey. And they

1789
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:53,479
Speaker 1: wonder why because our casino industry in two thousand, fourteen

1790
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: five casinos, clothes and over ten thousand people lost jobs.

1791
01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 1: And as they say, so goes Atlantic City, so goes

1792
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 1: to and so goes to state. When we were the

1793
01:31:02,080 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 1: Golden Goose, when we delivered five point two billion in

1794
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:09,000
Speaker 1: casino revenue in two thousand and six. Everybody loved Atlantic City.

1795
01:31:09,080 --> 01:31:12,120
Speaker 1: Money was flowing, but all of a setment we had

1796
01:31:12,120 --> 01:31:15,720
Speaker 1: an economic downturn. Nobody's uh, you know, exempt from that.

1797
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 1: That's that's the country, that's the world. So all that

1798
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: money that comes into Atlantic City, the residents of Atlantic

1799
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: City gets none of that. They don't have to build

1800
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,759
Speaker 1: nothing up the schools zero. We have no additional revenue streams.

1801
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: And that's why that's crazy. That's why Atlantic City looked

1802
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:31,920
Speaker 1: like that outside of the casino area. Well, and you know,
