Speaker 1: people's responses uh to the grand jury's indictment of former

41
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: Louisville police officer A. Brake Hankinson will tell you what

42
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: that indictment means and what's going on with the other officers.

43
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lot

44
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: this to this club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj

45

Speaker 1: Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We all to breakfast club.

46
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: Let's getting some front page news. What we're starting you Well,

47
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: let's start, of course with Brianna Taylor and a Kentucky

48
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: grand jury did indict former Louisville police officer Brett Hankinson

49
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: that was on three counts of wanton endangerment in the

50
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: first degree, and neither he nor the other two officers

51
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: who were involved in that encounter were charged in her death. So,

52
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: just to be clear, none of the charges that Brett

53
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Hankinson faced have anything to do with killing Brianna Taylor.

54
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: This all has to do with the bullets that penetrated

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: the wall of the residence and entered a neighboring apartment

56
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: that was occupied by a child, a man, and a

57
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: pregnant woman. So Brianna Taylor, there's no charges regarding her killing. Now,

58
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: even when you know, even when you know that you

59
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: know it's not gonna no justice is gonna be served.

60
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't doesn't hurt any less, I'll tell you that.

61
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: And you could tell just by the way they were

62
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: setting up Louisville and shutting down the courts and making

63
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: sure everything was protected, they knew what was coming down yesterday.

64
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: Now Here is the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, at

65
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: a news conference following the Grand Jerry's announcements where he

66
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 1: talked about the no knock. Evidence shows that officers both

67
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. The officers

68
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness

69
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: who was near in a proximity to Apartment four. In

70
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: other words, the warrant was not served as a no

71
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: knock warrant. What officers were unable to get anyone to

72
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: answer or open the door to Apartment four. Decision was

73
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: made to breach the door. But the boyfriend is not

74
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: The boyfriends not considered. The witness wasn't the boyfriend was

75
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: in the Kenneth walking Kenneth Kenneth. If Kenneth says, if

76
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 1: Kenneth says nobody knocked, his word doesn't mean anything. Yeah,

77
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: but you know what bothers me is is who signed

78
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: off on that warrd? Like, who was the one that

79
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: sent him to the wrong house. Who's the one that

80
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: didn't know that the gentleman was already in custody. Who

81
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: signed off on that, who allowed him to go into

82
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: that house? That's that's what That's why I don't like.

83
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how he's not charged. That person's not

84
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: charged because he made a mistake. It was It's clearly

85
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: a mistake. It was clearly he was. It was clearly

86
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: they didn't do the product work. No, they didn't send

87
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: him to the wrong house. He was. He was signed

88
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: off on a search one for Rihanna's department. They didn't

89
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: do it something to the wrong house. Wasn't the guy?

90
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: He was already in custody. He was already in custody.

91
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: So a little communication, all right. Now Here is a

92
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, talking about the investigation. He

93
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 1: says it was fair and so the length of the

94
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: investigation was a reflection of how important it was that

95
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: we got this right. We didn't want to rush it,

96
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: and we did not. These are prosecutors and investigators who

97
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: don't care about political distinctions, don't care about influence in

98
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: any particular regard. What they care about is the truth,

99
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: and we presented that to the grand jury, all right.

100
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: He also talks about the claims to injustice to the

101
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: black community. He responds to those claims, what do you

102
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: say to people who say, this is just another example

103
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: of the black community not getting full of justice. I

104
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by

105
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: the tragic loss of miss Taylor. I understand that as

106
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: an attorney general who is responsible for all one hundred

107
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: and twenty counties in terms of being the chief legal officer,

108
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: I understand that I understand that as a black man,

109
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: how painful this is, which is why it was so

110
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: incredibly important for make sure that we did everything we

111
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: possibly could to uncover every fact. Here's the thing for me, man,

112
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: when officers, you know, I guess, make a mistake, I'm

113
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: putting mistaken air quotes. When you are a victim of

114
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: mild practice, like you know, Brianna Taylor was, what's the

115
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: punishment for the officers if it's not an arrest? What

116
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: is it if I'm make a mistake here on the radio.

117
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: There's some type of consequences, Like what are the consequences

118
00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: they like they still get to keep their job. They

119
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: don't get suspended without pay, Like what happens? Like nothing?

120
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: Just a life is gone and it's just whatever. And

121
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: I want to skip ahead to Donald Trump now because

122
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about his quote response, and here's what

123
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: he had to say. His message to the black community.

124
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: What is your message to the black community who believed

125
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: that perhaps justice was not served? Well, my messages that

126
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: I love the black community and I've done more for

127
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: the black community than any other president with a possible

128
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: exception of Abraham Lincoln. And I mean, man, I don't

129
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: know enough about it. I heard the decision was just made.

130
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: We've been together here and so we haven't discussed it.

131
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: But after I see what the decision is, I will

132
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: have a commentary. Okay. Wow. And here he is talking

133
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: about the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who you just heard,

134
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: and he thinks he's great, really brilliant. Kentucky Attorney General

135
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: Daniel Cameron is doing a fantastic job. I think he's

136
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: a star. All right. That is your president, and that

137
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: is your front page news. All right, get it off

138
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

139
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: If you need to vent four lines of wide open.

140

174
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I would like to pick it off my chest. I

175
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: have one daughter just graduated from Spellman last year. The

176
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: hurt that I feel for her mother is just unbearable.

177
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: And at this point in time, they're asking for us.

178
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: And I don't promote violence, but I honestly feel like

179
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: it's just something to my child, you kill her. I

180
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: think you get to list how am I supposed to

181
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: John's Earth without my daughter? So I want a Maratha

182
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: to know how they're creating the Christ Turners, the new

183
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: Nat Turners by consistently giving us in justice when it

184
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: comes to the school system, when it comes to the

185
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: criminal system, like at this point, they're leaving us no

186
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 1: choice but to protect ourselves. And I agree with Charlomagne, um,

187
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: it is time that we get our own guns because

188
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: it's going to go down, not the president that's saying

189
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: he's not going to leave office. As if people stug

190
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: when it's confidentially, Um, we have to stand up. We

191
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: have to be strong. And I again I feel so

192
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: bad for Starna Taylor's MoMA, considering I have one daughter,

193
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, if he hid anything to my baby,

194
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: your kid will not be able to live in Your

195
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: mom's not gonna be able to live it. I'm sorry,

196
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: but this is what we are they're asking us to.

197
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: They're now I'm telling us, you have no choice, you

198
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: get no justice. So the only justice that I see

199
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: is if we saw it raising up like Nats in

200
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: the system turns in this blob because they're not going

201
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: to give it to us. Top of the day, guys.

202
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: You that's the best thing I thought about was to

Speaker 1: make up Palmer Brianna Taylor's There's so much love and

222
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: Bless you too, Queen. I just want to talk about

223
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: this situation with Brianna Taylor. It's just very disheart and

224
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: as a black mom, it's just so disappointed to see

225
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: that her mom is not going to get justice for

226
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: her daughter. And it's just like, we don't have no

227
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: trust in our system. We're raising kids and very hard time.

228
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: It's like you don't know which way to turn. You

229
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell your children about what's going on,

230
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: especially if they're young. It's very hard to sit down

231
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 1: and have these hard conversations with them. But us as

232
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: the black community needs to have these hard conversations. We

233
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: need to expand and let our black children know that

234
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: the way they're being treated and the things that are

235
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: happening to them are not okay and it's not right.

236
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: It's because, you know, I feel like none of us

237
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: were surprised by the verdict, but a lot of us

238
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: did still feel disappointed, and we also kind of was like, okay,

239
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: maybe this time, maybe this time. Absolutely, I didn't think

240
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: that none of us were surprised. I didn't have anything,

241
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: but I still I still was praying for the family.

242
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: And hoping that something good would come out of all this.

243
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: You know, there were people who were very active in Louisville,

244
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: occupying Louisville and protesting, and a lot of things were happening.

245
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: The twelve million dollars sentlement, you feel like, Okay, maybe

246
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: they do realize something. Maybe this is an indication that

247
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: there will be some justice following that. And once again nothing.

248
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think that all week on this radio all

249
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: week or then't no justice gonna be served in no way,

250
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: shape or form. And I really don't understand how people

251
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: can use this to tell us to vote, Like, these

252
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: types of injustices happen under democrats too, doesn't matter who's

253
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: in office locally nationally, We've been watching police and damn

254
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: there everyone else get away with these type of injustice

255
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: towards black people forever. So how was voting going to

256
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: help that? Somebody got to explain that one to me too, Like,

257
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: I just don't think using in a moment like this

258
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: to say we'll go vote like it's been happening under

259
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: every administrat happens locally, happened nationally. How is voting gonna

260
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: change the way white people perceive black people in America.

261
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: Please tell me that get it off your chest. Eight

275
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: Jefferson Grand County Jerry and DT's former officer Brett Hankinson

276
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080

277
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: bullets that went into other apartments, but nothing for the

278
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: murder of Brianna Taylor. This is outrageous and offensive. If

279
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: Bret Hankinson's behavior was wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments,

280
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: then it should have been wanting endangerment in Brianna Taylor's

281
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: apartment too. In fact, it should have been wanted murder.

282
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: Joe Biden tweeted out, even amidst the profound grief and anger,

283
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: today's decision generated. Violence is never and can never be

284
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,359
Speaker 1: the answer. Those who engage in it must be held accountable.

285
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: Jill and I are keeping the officers shot tonight in

286
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: Louisville and our prayers. We wished them both the swift

287
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: and full recovery because, as you know, there were two

288
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: officers who were shot yesterday during the protests. Kamala Harris

289
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: tweeted out tonight, I'm thinking of Brianna Taylor's family, who

290
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: was still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister.

291
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 1: We must never stop speaking Brianna's name as we work

292
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: to reform our justice system, including overhauling no knock warrents.

293
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: She goes on to say, Joe Biden and I are

294
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: keeping the police officers who were shot in Louisville in

295
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: our hearts, wishing them a swift and speedy recovery. Violence

296
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: is not the answer, and we must find a way

297
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: to express our grief, anger, and demands in ways that

298
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: reflect the world we wish to see. Bernie Sanders tweeted

299
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: out Brianna Taylor's life matter. The result is a disgrace

300
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: and an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racist.

301
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: The time for fundamental change is now. Colin Kaepernick tweeted

302
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: out the white supremacist institution of policing that stole Brianna

303
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: Taylor's life from us must be abolished for the safety

304
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: and well being of our people. And Lebron said, I've

305
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: been lost for words today. I'm devastated, hurt, sad, mad.

306
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: We want justice for Brianna, Yet justice was met for

307
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: her neighbor's apartment walls and not her beautiful life. Was

308
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: I surprised that the verdict absolutely not, but damn it,

309
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 1: I was and still am hurt and heavy hearted. I

310
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: said my love to Brianna's mother, family and friends. I'm sorry,

311
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The most disrespected person on earth is the

312
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: black woman. I promise you I'll do my best to

313
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: change this as much as I can, and even more.

314
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Love to you queens all over this country and beyond.

315
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: So Those are just some of the tweets that was

316
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: sent out yesterday. All right now, Chance the Rapper is

317
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: telling people to vote for whoever your mom is voting for.

318
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: He said this a couple of days ago, and people

319
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: went in on him on Twitter, and he said, ask

320
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: your mom who to vote for? Vote for who she say.

321
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: Your mom had been through a lot, Ask them and

322
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,239
Speaker 1: trust them. What do y'all think about that? I'll be

323
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: honest with ya. I mean, you vote for you woman.

324
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: My mom got some good choices, you know what I mean.

325
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: Ain't never is anohing wrong to go with mama's opinion,

326
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: especially if you don't necessarily know about politics and you

327
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: haven't been paying attention. I don't have a problem with that.

328
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: I don't know who your mom's mama good money. Yeah,

329
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: it depends on who your mom is. I would say.

330
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: I think, you know, you encourage people really to vote

331
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: for whoever you want to vote for. It might be

332
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: different than which but they were going in on him,

333
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: and then they went on him for this. He was

334
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: talking about Justin Bieber's new album and here here's what

335
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: he had to say. This album is really some of

336
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: the best music I've made. Would you agree this is

337
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: no cap at all. I said, some of the best

338
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 1: music I've ever heard period. It reminds me of when

339
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: Michael Jackson made Off the Wall. Everybody that's listening, I

340
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: am merging it right now. I promise you it is

341
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: literally groundbreaking music. So of course the headline was Chance

342
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: the Rapper says that Justin Bieber's album is like Michael

343
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: Jackson's Off the Wall. But Chance the Rapper was quick

344
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: to point out he was saying it reminds me of

345
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't do that, Chance. You know what

346
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Just say the music is fired. Just say

347
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 1: the music is dope. Don't compare it to anything. And

348
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: if you're going to compare it to something, please don't

349
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: compare it to Michael Jackson Off the Wall, because now

350
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: I am hoping to hear something as good as Off

351
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: the Wall. But it's not even about how the record sounds.

352
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: It's about how the music makes you feel. Off the

353
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: Wall gives us a feeling, and it's a feeling that

354
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: is unmatched because we can all remember what we were

355
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: doing as kids when we first heard Off the Wall,

356
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: and we've all got different moments, you know, hearing Off

357
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: the wall throughout the years that music Justin Bie was

358
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: putting out doesn't have that kind of cachier behind the chests.

359
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't do that to him, okay. And Michelle Obama

360
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: was on Conan O'Brien and she was talking about the

361
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: beginning of the pan demic, how things were really cool.

362
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: They were organized with the girls. They would just have

363
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: all kinds of a little fun things and watercolor paintings,

364
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: and they learned how to play spades. But then she said,

365
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: things went left, and now towards the end of the pandemic,

366
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of sick, and the kids are sick of

367
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: being around them. Listen to this. We've kind of had

368
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: phases of COVID. There was sort of the early stages

369
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: where we were all excited to be together and we

370
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: were being all organized. That went away, and it started

371
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: as the first our kids down a little sick of us.

372
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: I will say, in the beginning of this, I was

373
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot more gung ho about being productive about things

374
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: in my home. And since then things have fallen apart.

375
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your

376
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when

377
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: we come back front page news. What we're talking about,

378
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: you know what we're talking about. We got to talk

379
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: more about, Brianna Taylor. I want to discuss this verdict

380
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: that came down and you know, just people being really

381
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: disappointed and what's happening in Louisville and what's happening all

382
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: over the United States. They were protests here in Brooklyn

383
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: yesterday that we're at the Barclays and we'll discuss the aftermath.

384
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

385
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: Go Morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be

391
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in

392
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: some front page news. The last night it sports the

393
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: heat beat of the Celtics. They lead the series three

394
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: one one one twelve, one oh nine. Let's get right

395
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: into it easy. Yes. Brianna Taylor, Kentucky Grand Jerry and

396
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: died in former Louisville police officer Brett Higginson, but there

397
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: were no charges brought up on the other two officers

398
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,679
Speaker 1: involved in the encounter that killed Brianna Taylor. So the

399
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: charges against Hankinson are basically he's facing a maximum of

400
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: five years in jail, and it specifically states that, under

401
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, he wantonly shot

402
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,439
Speaker 1: a gun into the apartment. So this has nothing to

403
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: do with Brianna Taylor getting killed. This has to do

404
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: with him shooting and the bullets penetrating a wall of

405
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 1: the residents entering a neighboring apartment that occupied. So not

406
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: even the person who was killed in her own home

407
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: while she was sleeping in bed. These charges are for

408
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: a neighboring apartment where no one was injured. That's crazy,

409
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: all right. Now, Let's listen to the Kentucky Attorney General

410
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: Cameron is talking about these charges in talking about homicide

411
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 1: being considered. Did the prenury ever consider the charges of

412
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: manslaughter reckless homicide? I will get into the specifics again

413
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: of the proceedings themselves are secret, but what I will

414
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,360
Speaker 1: say is that our team walked in through every homicide offense,

415
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: and it also presented all of the information that was

416
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: available to the grand jury, and then the grand jury

417
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: was ultimately the one that made the decision about indicting

418
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: Detective Hankinson. I don't see how you don't at least

419
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: get a manslaughter charge, Like like doctors commitmental practice. There's

420
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: consequences I say something on this radio, you know, even

421
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: if it's by accident that I didn't mean to, there's

422
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: consequences to it. Like how is there no consequences killing

423
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 1: a young woman in her apartment while she's sleeping. Of course,

424
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: once this happened, there was a protests across the United States,

425
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: and in Louisville there were actually two police officers who

426
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: were shot during the protests. Shortly before the curfew began,

427
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: there were reports of gunfire near one of the marches.

428
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: Two of the responding officers were shot. They have non

429
00:23:55,440 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: life threatening wounds, and there is a suspect in custody.

430
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: The way that a lot of people feel right now,

431
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: they should be happy that it's not more. And what

432
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: do you expect, seriously, like, you know, if there's if

433
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 1: there's no if there's no order, you know, what I mean,

434
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: because people don't feel like there's getting getting justice. That's

435
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: the justice system fault, the so called justices. Yeah, but

436
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: we can't. People can't run around to start shooting random people.

437
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: That's the whole point. People and people. That's what we're

438
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: trying to tell. The political that's what that's what we're

439
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: trying to tell the police officers point. But we just

440
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,439
Speaker 1: can't start shooting random people back all right, listen, I

441
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: agree with you, but what do you expect, Like, I mean, seriously,

442
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: how do you keep putting this kind of energy y'all

443
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: keep not giving people justice and then expect people not

444
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 1: to be upset. I'm not gonna tell somebody how they

445
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: should express their pain. People are hurt. Hurt, people hurt people,

446
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: People are upset, people are angry, people are venting, people

447
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: are frustrated. People the end of day wrote now. Donald

448
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: Trump tweeted out praying for the two police officers that

449
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: were shot tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. The federal government stan

450
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: behind you and it is ready to help. And then

451
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: he also said law and order, but he didn't say

452
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: nothing about prays to the family of or nothing, you

453
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like Come on, man, nobody needs

454
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: to be hurting anybody at a time like this, all

455
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: right now. Donald Trump also was questioned during a press

456
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: conference yesterday about whether he will leave the White House

457
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: peacefully if he loses the election, and here's what happened.

458
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,239
Speaker 1: Will you commit to making sure that there is a

459
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: peaceful transfer poll of power after the election? Cool, We're

460
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to see what happens. You know that I've

461
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots

462
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: or a disaster and that, but people are rioting. Do

463
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: you commit to making sure that there's a peaceful want

464
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of the ballots and you'll have a

465
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: very trans We'll have a very peaceful there won't be

466
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: a transfer. Frankly, there'll be a continuation. I mean, I've

467
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: been telling y'all. I've been telling y'all on his radio

468
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: for about a year and a half that the fastest

469
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: in the White House was not leaving that man. Who's

470
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: going to retain power through voter suppression. They're going to voters,

471
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 1: especially in inner cities. They're gonna suppress mail in voting.

472
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 1: You already see them suppressing registration roles. They're gonna limit

473
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 1: physical polling locations, especially in areas with a high black population.

474
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: The man is telling you he's not leaving peacefully, and

475
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: he's telling you just throw away the absentee ballots, don't

476
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: count the ballots, that we won't have to worry about

477
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: whether or not there'll be a peaceful transition of power.

478
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: By the way, he benefits from the chaos, all of

479
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: this recklessness in the screech right now, everything out of order.

480
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Now he can really say, oh, I'm the law nor

481
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: the president. I'm going to maintain order. Now. You actually

482
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: caused the chaos by not giving Americans what they deserve,

483
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: which is justice in a situation like Brianna Taylor. But

484
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna benefit from it because now they're gonna run

485
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: these images on Fox News over and over and over.

486
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be in Donald Trump added Donald Trump commercial

487
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: saying oh, this is Joe Biden's America. No, this is

488
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: just America, period, and it's gonna be America. As long

489
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: as this crooked system is in place. He doesn't need

490
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: to be reformed, it needs to be overhauled. Since Ruth

491
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg died, they said there was a surge in

492
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: voter register. They said that vote dot org saw more

493
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: than forty thousand new voter registrations on Saturday and Satnday,

494
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: which is a sixty eight percent increase from the prior weekend.

495
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: That's good. Once again, I really don't understand how you

496
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: how you use this situation to tell people to vote,

497
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: because these type of injustices happen under Democrats too, doesn't

498
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 1: matter who's in office locally. Naturally, we've been watching police

499
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: and damn there everybody else get away with these type

500
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: of injustice towards the black people forever. So you got

501
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: to explain to me how voting is going to change.

502
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: In most places, you vote for your attorney general, and

503
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: you vote for local officials, and then you have to

504
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: hold them accountable. It's not just voting but also being involved.

505
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: And so it is important who you vote for, hopefully

506
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: your governor, who might appoint the attorney general in some states.

507
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: Some states you vote for your attorney general. So it

508
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,680
Speaker 1: is important to make sure you tell people to vote

509
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: because who you want to represent you and I'm not

510
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: saying that that person has to be a Democrat or

511
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: a Republican, but at least know who you're voting for

512
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 1: and who has your edge. Absolutely, yeah, we should an

513
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: register vote and people should be voting, not just for

514
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: the presidency, like you said, for all places, for mayors,

515
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 1: for district attorneys for like, yeah, absolutely, we should be so.

516
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Throughout the history of America, how can we always see

517
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: this this this type of scenario played out over and

518
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. A lot of times,

519
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't think don't vote. A lot of we do

520
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 1: need more people to register to vote and to participate

521
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: in the process. And we also need more people to

522
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: be encouraged to run for these offices. A lot of

523
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: times you don't even know who's our local offices, Like like,

524
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: I think, be honest, a lot of times we don't

525
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 1: know who's in our local offices, you know. I mean

526
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,520
Speaker 1: we need to start we need to start doing ours.

527
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: And I think we need people that are in these

528
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: local offices that are willing to overhaul the system, not

529
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: reform it, because this system is not for us. When

530
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: they do when when they defined justice for all, black

531
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: people were not included. And that's why encourage people to

532
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: run for office. And if you know somebody who you

533
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: think would being an incredible mayor or chief of a

534
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: city police Department, encourage them to run for our office.

535
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: Let them know that you'll support them and strategize. It's

536
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: not just always the processes. These are our candidates, but

537
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: maybe you know people who you think that person would

538
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: be a great candidate. Be involved. All right, a lot

Speaker 1: finding out that my stepfather was a contracted killer, going

559
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: through my marriages and all this stuff that I went

560
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: through when I was at ESPN Fast Sports. That led

561
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: me to actually where I am right now when it

562
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: comes to being involved with the lady on with right now.

563
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: So it's been a journey, but I'm happy I took

564
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: that journey in Alabama. Correct. Yeah, I was born in

565
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: the Bronx. I'm always going to be a New York dude,

566
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: but Alabama was where my roots are. You know, that's

567
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: where my former two years of my life. So I

568
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: called myself a kind of a country boy, kind of

569
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: like Charlemagne and Monk's Corner down in South Carolina, the

570
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: same kind of background and whatnot. But you know, it

571
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: was it was. It was kind of crazy for me

572
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,959
Speaker 1: because you know, people think you grew up in the Bronx,

573
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: that's where you're going to find a lot of trouble whatnot.

574
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: But I found more trouble when I was in Alabama,

575
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: because you gotta understand, when I grew up down there,

576
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: it was the start of the crack era, and so

577
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the country boys down there was doing

578
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stuff, and a lot of my

579
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: friends got caught up in a lot of the drugs whatnot.

580
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: One of my best friends got killed in the drive

581
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: by shooting. One of my other friends was you know,

582
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: on roeryp In twenty seven years of his life in

583
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: prison and all that type of stuff. So a lot

584
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 1: of the things that they grew up with I grew

585
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: up with. I just had some of the better decisions.

586
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: I had some people in my life to kind of

587
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: put me on the right track. Or I could have

588
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: been doing the same thing that they're doing right now

589
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: or what they were doing. You know, Mike, you did

590
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: something that I did, and I think all men eventually

591
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: have to be intentional about doing. You went and you

592
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: you started doing the work on yourself to get some

593
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: healing and some wholeness. When were you able to identify

594
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: that you had traumas you needed to deal with and

595
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: and and that you needed to go get help. You know,

596
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: it's crazy, is it wasn't until I actually started writing

597
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: this book. This book was my therapy. I didn't even

598
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: realize that I had so many traumas and pains and

599
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: anger and depression that was built up inside me until

600
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: I started writing this book. Then it became my therapy.

601
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: I just know that at the age of forty seven,

602
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: when I started writing this book, that I see him

603
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 1: on the outside that I was happy. I was living

604
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 1: a great life. My job was wonderful, you know. I

605
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: was telling everybody I was happy, the happies I had

606
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: ever been in my life, professionally and personally. But I

607
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: would find myself at home just crying uncontrollably for no

608
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 1: reason whatsoever. I'd be on the road with the clippers

609
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: when I was working with them, and I would just have,

610
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: you know, just tears was coming out of my eyes

611
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And something told me I needed to

612
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: write this book. So when I started writing this book,

613
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: it felt like I was regurgitating. It just felt like

614
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: everything started coming out of me at once, and I

615
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: realized that I had all this stuff, all this trauma

616
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: and all this pain that I had suppressed for so

617
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: many years. And I think that's what we do as

618
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: black men, you know, we suppressed those the anger and

619
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: all that depression and all that pain, and I had

620
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: to let it go. When I finally was able to

621
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: let it go, I always called that like my surgery.

622
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: And when I had the surgery, of course, you know

623
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: how it is that I got to be real abilitation

624
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: after the surgery, and that was when my therapy came in.

625
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: So I realized that, you know, for forty seven years,

626
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: I was a boy acting like a man, and it

627
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: wasn't until I actually wrote this book that I stepped

628
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: into my manhood. And now I'm still kind of continuing

629
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: that journey. Yeah, it's interesting when you put everything together

630
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 1: all at once because obviously, you know, as long as

631
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: you've been on this earth, we're reading this book, and

632
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: then we're going through all these experiences that you went through.

633
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: You know, you're joined the military, which that was something

634
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: about you. I didn't even know, you know, prior to

635
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: meeting you, and that's quite an experience already. And then

636
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: you got married at a pretty young age, just and

637
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: it was kind of for selfish reasons, right, Yeah, everything

638
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: was for selfish reasons for me growing up, you know,

639
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: like I didn't know I didn't have any male role

640
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: models in my life. I didn't know how I lived

641
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: my life. I just had to kind of go day

642
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: by day seeing other people doing what they were doing,

643
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: and I figured out they could do it, I could

644
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: do it somebody at my age whatnot. And then getting

645
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: married at an early age because I saw one of

646
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: my best friends in the military who was married with

647
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: a kid and he was making more money. So all

648
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: the other stuff that I went through, it was because

649
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: I saw other people doing or whatnot, and I didn't

650
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: have the right people in my life. Page basically kind

651
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: of guide me along the way, giving me that guidance

652
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 1: that I need. And that's why I wanted to put

653
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: this out there, because if you can find yourself a

654
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: positive male role model or just a positive role model period,

655
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: somebody that can take you under their wings would not

656
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: give you the direction to give you some of the

657
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: advice that I never received when I was younger. I

658
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: hope that you can understand and look at my life

659
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: and say, you know what he made some of the

660
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: mistakes that I'm still making right now, and I can

661
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: go and get the health and the therapy of Charlemagne

662
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: we was talking about that I need, so that you

663
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: can turn your life around at an earlier age and

664
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,919
Speaker 1: stop affecting your life, because when you affect your life,

665
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: you also affect the others around you too. And that's

666
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: what people don't realize, is that you're not only hurting yourself,

667
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: but you're hurting a lot of the other trips that

668
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: are living. Yep, a contract and your stepdad was a

669
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: contract to kill them. Yeah, yeah, I found How did

670
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: you find that out? Yeah? I found that out when

671
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,919
Speaker 1: I came back from the military. I was just saying

672
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: it out with him. I knew we had done some

673
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: things in the past whatnot. Obviously when I was in

674
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: the middle of here, there was a story I wrote

675
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: about when I got a call when I was in

676
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 1: the Philippines and he got he had killed somebody and

677
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: they came and raided at the house. Whatever. I'maware around

678
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: the world, I can't do anything about it whatnot. He

679
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: got off on that because of self defense, so they say,

680
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: but everybody kind of know what the real story was,

681
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: to be honest with you. And then when I got home,

682
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: he was kind of at his lower's point, and my

683
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: mom had left him, and I'm sitting on the porch

684
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 1: and I'm basically trying to save this man, and I'm

685
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: talking to him and he's telling me all the things

686
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 1: that he had done, and he just basically kind of

687
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: infested and then followed up talking to a lot of

688
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: his friends whatever. I found out all that type of

689
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: stuff was true. But you know, even my dad, my stepdad,

690
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to kind of come down on him

691
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. He was a loving man, cared about me.

692
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: He took me. I got his last name because he

693
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: adopted me when I was fifteen years old, and he

694
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: loved me. He just had issues. So this is the

695
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: main things I want to get people to understand about

696
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 1: this book is that we as black men need help

697
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: and we can't be afraid to ask for that help.

698
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 1: You know, it's okay to the emotion when so kay

699
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: To cries, It's okay to say, you know what, my

700
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: life right now ain't it ain't. It ain't going to

701
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: where it's supposed to go. So I need somebody to

702
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: reach out to and understand, and somebody to reach back

703
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: to me to give me the help that I needed.

704
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: So I wish that my father would have gotten the

705
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: help that he needed at an earlier age. Somebody would

706
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: have pulled him in and basically told him, you know what,

707
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: the path you're going down right now isn't gonna lead

708
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: you anywhere. It's gonna lead you to devastation, destruction. You're

709
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 1: gonna hurt a lot of people around you, just like

710
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: he did. And maybe he would have worked out okay,

711
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 1: but unfortunately it didn't because he spent the last nine

712
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: years of his life in prison for murder for hire.

713
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: And you'll see why. And it was a terrible story

714
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: why he did that too as well. All right, we

715
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: got more with Mike Hill when we come back, don't move.

716
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ

717

Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all to Breakfast Club.

718
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: We're kicking him with Mike kill. Charlemagne, did you receive

719
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 1: any backlash from anybody when you decided to go to therapy?

720
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: Because you know, every if you if you go on

721
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: YouTube right now, you see it's all Charlomagne talks about

722
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 1: his mental health and going to therapy. Every thing isn't

723
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: about therapy. You know, I don't give, I don't care,

724
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's my life, you know, And

725
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:07,880
Speaker 1: y'all understand ch'arallo man I got I got to be

726
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: honest with you. Reading your book actually helped me out

727
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: a lot too, because when I see you use your

728
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: platform and basically admit that you had some mental health

729
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: issues or whatnot, and that you aren't afraid to go

730
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: and get the help that you needed, that was huge

731
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: to use your platform that way. And I encourage anybody

732
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,200
Speaker 1: with a platform, don't care if you got ten followers,

733
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: you got ten million followers. If you know you need

734
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 1: some kind of health in any kind of way, please

735
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: ask for so the people that do come out and

736
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: basically say, you know, oh you emotional when you're crying,

737
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: you you know, calling your little names what I want

738
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: to call you, whatever, I don't care. I'm at a

739
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: point in my life where my mind, my life, and

740
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: the people around me matter more than anything in the world.

741
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to get the help that

742
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: you need and you want to kind of dog me

743
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: out for it, I pray for you, and I pray

744
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: that you get the help, because I think when you

745
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 1: do do things like that, when you troll or you

746
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: trying to throw some kind of hate or disparaging remarks,

747
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: that somebody that's trying to get mental health. Those are

748
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: the main ones that actually needed. So are here to

749
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: help you out. I'm here to make you a better person.

750
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: So all I can do is use my platform and

751
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 1: use whatever NOTORID y'all have to basically set myself as

752
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,359
Speaker 1: an example and hopefully somebody can follow suit. Now, Mike,

753
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: I got to ask you a couple of questions because

754
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: you were very transparent about some things in this book. Okay, So,

755
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: and I know that wasn't easy because there's some stories

756
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 1: that you told that I'm like, wow, so there's something

757
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: in here that you said because you said when somebody

758
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: asked you doing a Q and A, maybe you'll answer

759
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 1: that question. So let's ask you that question right now.

760
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: There was an incident with your ex wife, Camille, where

761
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 1: you stayed out all night. She was trying to call you,

762
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,840
Speaker 1: and you told her you were in the hospital. You

763
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: know how men lie, Either they're in the hospital or

764
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 1: they got arrested. That's how they excuse things. And she

765
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: couldn't reach you. You actually because you told her that

766
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: you actually checked into the hospital and intended to have

767
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: an asthma attack. And then you fax there's some proof

768
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 1: over but you had to change the time and everything

769
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: that you checked in. Now you said, I bet you

770
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: want to know where I really was. Maybe I'll answer

771
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: this as part of a Q and A after the

772
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: book comes out, if someone brings it up, but we're

773
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: bringing it up here. Where were you that night when

774
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: you told your ex that you were in the hospital. Yeah,

775
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be my girl. Man, I've been loving

776
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: That's okay, I get it. I'm glad you read that part.

777
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: You know. And this was before we were actually married,

778
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: So I was actually still technically single, but you know, um, yeah,

779
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: but in a relationship. Oh yeah, I was across the

780
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,959
Speaker 1: street hanging out with somebody I shouldn't have been hanging

781
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: out with whatnot. And when I got back home, my

782
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: phone was ringing off the hook. My ex was like

783
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: a detective. She was one of those women like if

784
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: you were missing for like five minutes, she was gonna

785
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: call you or whatever. And when I got back home,

786
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: I had like twelve missed calls and thirteen messages. To

787
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, so I was, Yeah, I

788
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: was doing dirt. I was doing a lot. But because

789
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: I liked her enough and we had gotten that deep

790
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: into the relationship. I went to the extent of acting

791
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 1: like I was thick, which once again I am not

792
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 1: proud of acting like acting like I was in the hospital,

793
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: like I had just gone to the hospital or whatever,

794
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: and that I had to go to the emergency room.

795
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: And she said, prove it, so you had to go.

796
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: It's how you know you really care? That is that

797
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: effective when a woman is on you like that, when

798
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: you know that you had a tendency you know previously

799
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: to stray right? Does that work when women are constantly

800
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:25,399
Speaker 1: on you? And like, havn't you check in? You think

801
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: that's an effective way? Nah? It not for me. It

802
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: because the person i'm were right now and like I've

803
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: gotten past all that stuff that I used to do

804
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 1: them my life. That's Cynthia. Yes, Cynthia and I finally

805
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,120
Speaker 1: settled down, and I'm I want to do it the

806
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: right way. Like I said, I stepped into my manhood.

807
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,280
Speaker 1: But for me, when I want to do right and

808
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: when I've told you about my pasts, like obviously everybody

809
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:48,719
Speaker 1: knows about my past, and I just want you to

810
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: give me an opportunity. I don't need you on top

811
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: of me all the time, you know, basically, telling me,

812
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, or asking where I am whatnot, checking my DMS,

813
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: checking my phone and things like that. I think for me,

814
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: for my personality, I think that pushes me away. I

815
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: can understand why somebody would do it. But if you

816
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 1: say you trust me, trust me, you know what I mean,

817
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 1: give me an opportunity to prove that I'm doing something wrong.

818
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Now if you give you a reason for you not

819
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 1: to trust me, then I understand being on probation or

820
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:18,360
Speaker 1: being checked up on. But you know, I need a wife.

821
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: I need somebody that's gonna be with me. I don't

822
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: need a CEO. I don't need I don't need a

823
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: correction officer. I don't need that, you know so. And

824
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: I definitely don't need a parole officer because you know what,

825
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: I've never gone to your prison, you know what I mean.

826
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 1: So I'm coming out. I'm not on probation for you.

827
00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: We're supposed to being in a relationship. Just trust me

828
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: like you said you are. I'm not gonna lie. I

829
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: think I kind of need to see you just a

830
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I'm saying. Little, I don't

831
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: need a little bit of direction, that's all. That's it.

832
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy. Well, if you know that, I mean, but

833
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: it is. If you know that, that's that's cool. You know,

834
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: I understanding. You know, if you got a woman that's

835
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, doesn't mind checking up on you and your

836
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 1: mind showing her where you've been, that's fine. But here's

837
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: the thing. What I've learned also is that it is

838
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: also our job to make sure that they are secure.

839
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: So if I don't want to feel like that, Bob

840
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: or ten minutes or whatnot, I am the type of

841
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: person that you know what, let me get on the phone.

842
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: If I'm hanging out with there's a woman with me,

843
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 1: I'm gonna FaceTime my girl and let her know who

844
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with, how many people I'm hanging out with,

845
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: and I don't leave out details. That's the growth that

846
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: I've had over the years. Now. Like that said, I

847
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: was doing my dirt back in the day, the infidelities

848
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: or whatever. I admit all that. You know, that's just

849
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, me drawing up. But at the same time,

850
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 1: I'll come a long way and now I want to

851
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 1: make my girl secure as possible. Yeah, we don't want

852
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: to feel we don't want to feel that way. We

853
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: don't want to feel like I gotta chat, make sure

854
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: he checks in. Where is he. I don't want to

855
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 1: call my man and be like, Okay, he's not answering

856
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: the phone. He must be doing something. I want to

857
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: call him. And if he doesn't answer, but hey, hit

858
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: me when you get this and feel comfortable. Yeah. But

859
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: at the same time, if I'm at work, or if

860
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:47,799
Speaker 1: I tell you I'm on an interview and I don't

861
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,280
Speaker 1: answer the phone right away because I'm on the air,

862
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: I'm doing television, I'm doing a radio show, and you

863
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: kind of know that, and you're blowing me up, and

864
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: you blow me up five or six times, and I

865
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 1: finally answering the first thing. You say, what f you've been? What?

866
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: You know? React tota way because you know what, I'm

867
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: doing my job. I'm not doing somebody else. So you

868
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,839
Speaker 1: got to give me a little bit of leeway. That's all,

869
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: you know. Men, we don't even know our habits. Man.

870
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: I remember back in the day when I used to

871
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: be used to have my in the dirt. My wife

872
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: would always say to me, when I know you're when

873
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I know you're messing around with a woman? Is women

874
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: that I don't know, meaning like like all a lot

875
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: of my most of my all my female friends, she knows,

876
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: so she's never met her. I've never introduced her to

877
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 1: introduce her to the person. Yeah yeah, yeah, But see,

878
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: I think that's important. So I got a lot of

879
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: female friends, the majority of my friends and females. I

880
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 1: just always got along better with females that than me.

881
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: That I'm out there, you know, being them down or whatnot,

882
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: just means that we got a ton of friends with her.

883
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 1: They look at me like an uncle, they look at

884
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: me like a big brother. I give them advice a

885
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: lot of times. But one thing that's for sure. If

886
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 1: I got a female friend, my fiance Cynthia has that

887
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: female friend as well. If I'm hanging out with her,

888
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: she knows I'm hanging out with it. So once again

889
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,320
Speaker 1: that pons were part of just making your g feel secure,

890
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: especially if you have that pass, because you want to

891
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 1: make sure that you build up that trust whatnot. And

892
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of times some people do it, and I'll

893
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: be honest with you, some people do it because they

894
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: want to. You know, they might have somebody still doing

895
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 1: dirt or whatever. But I'm at a point in my life,

896
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: like I said, I've done all this stuff. Man, I

897
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,360
Speaker 1: don't don't judge me for the transgressions, look at me

898
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: for my transformation. I've grown up and I realized all

899
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: the mistakes I made in the past on lead those

900
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: in the past because I want to have a black

901
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: future with somebody I can grow with. I have a

902
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Mike Kill when we

903
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody

904
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are

905
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Mike Kill. Charlomagne,

906
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: your fiance said, you probably never would have proposed and

907
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: she wouldn't have said yes if you didn't get the

908
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: help you needed. So so what traumas do you think

909
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 1: we're holding you back from being the man you are now? Yeah?

910
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: I was. I didn't trust anybody. I mean, there was

911
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 1: something that happened to me, and you read the book.

912
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: There was something that happened to me. I was fifteen

913
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: years old with a young lady and a lot of

914
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: people's like man, you held on to that for thirty years, yes,

915
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: told me, and you understand we as men sometime hold

916
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: on to traumas for a long period of time. And

917
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 1: because when you told her you loved her and she

918
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't say it back, that yeah, tell me that that

919
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: was it? I mean like she and she well, she

920
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:17,960
Speaker 1: did not only did she not say it back, she

921
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:19,800
Speaker 1: looked at me like I was freaking crazy, you know

922
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 1: what I mean? And that else, the first time I

923
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:27,080
Speaker 1: told a woman that I loved her and she tells me,

924
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 1: she looks at me and like, let's go. And then

925
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: two days later she's with somebody else who happened to

926
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: actually be a friend of mine or whatnot. And I

927
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: didn't even realize we had broken up. I felt that

928
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,479
Speaker 1: her pain and and I didn't want to feel that again.

929
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: So for a long time, I could not trust women,

930
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: and after a while, I couldn't trust myself. So until

931
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: I started loving myself, I could never fall in love

932
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: with another woman. I could love somebody. I loved the

933
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: women that I married before, the mother of my children.

934
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,280
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but there's a difference in loving

935
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: somebody and falling in love. I could never completely fall

936
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: in love because I couldn't trust them. But more importantly,

937
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't trus myself until I actually wrote this book. Mike,

938
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry giving away some spoilers also, but I just

939
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: want to there's a lot to this book, so I

940
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: just I do want to, you know, give away little

941
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: bits and pieces, but I think that is important. You know,

942
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 1: she's fifteen years old, I love you, and she's you

943
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: know at that age. Was there anybody to tool us?

944
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: Was there people to talk to him during that time

945
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,319
Speaker 1: when you said I love you and she didn't say

946
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: it back. Was anybody even saying, let you know what,

947
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: let me because we don't have these conversations. We're just

948
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 1: starting to have these conversations now. But was there anybody

949
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 1: that you could speak with? You just talked through them?

950
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: Mike saying, she looked at me like she farted in

951
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: my mouth. Yeah, she looked at me like, yeah, like

952
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I farted, like I farted in her mouth. Like that's old.

953
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: Charlemaine heard he was. I heard everything. I'm like, how

954
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: do you mean how you talk over that? Like I

955
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: didn't hear that. That was the reaction, you know what

956
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: I mean? So when you imagine the first time you

957
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: pure in the way I described it, man, I felt

958
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: like I was in the moment, like Luke. I don't

959
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: even know who was playing in the background, but it

960
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 1: was just like this was like something out of a

961
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: love story. I'm like, you know of what looking at her.

962
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: She's beautiful, she's two years old. She's a saying y'am

963
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 1: the sophomore and like, I love you. I did it

964
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: just like that real school right there. I mean that's

965
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 1: where I said, I read a real school. And she

966
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 1: looked at me like, so I remember that now he

967
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: ain't or whatever. So, like you said, there was nobody

968
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: for me to talk to. There was nobody I could

969
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: go to. My biological father wasn't around my stepfather. I

970
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: couldn't talk to him about loving anybody because I never

971
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 1: saw him love my mom. I never saw them. I

972
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: never saw love in a household. So I didn't have

973
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 1: anybody that was a positive male role model that could

974
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: actually talk to about that. And if I talk to him,

975
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 1: they would say things like emptem holes. Seriously, man, you

976
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 1: you ain't supposed to love him anyway. That's exactly what

977
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: end that I got, Mike. I swear I was about

978
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: to say that to you. What's interesting about that? And

979
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: she broke your heart? And when the other options are

980
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: bitches ain't beholds in tricks, money over holes. When the

981
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 1: option is disrespect you adopt that, Yeah, exactly, that's what

982
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: you see growing up as a kid. It man. And

983
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: so that's why I once again, I wanted people to

984
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 1: see my pain and see the things that I've gone

985
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: through in my life, a lot of things, like Angela

986
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: just said, some embarrassing moments that you know, it's hard

987
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: for me to talk about or whatever at the same time,

988
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: but I wanted to put that out there because if

989
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: you can heal from my pain, then then that's my journey.

990
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: Then that's what I'm supposed to be doing on this earth.

991
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: That's my purpose in life. One more teas I want

992
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: to give it. I'm not gonna give this theory because

993
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: I want to make sure everybody reads this book. You're

994
00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna love this, Charlottagne. There was even an incident that

995
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: you talk about where you got hit on the face

996
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: or in the head with a penis why Charlemagne gonna

997
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 1: love that? That That that happened to you too, Charlemagne, But

998
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: explain mic ahead. So that's the tease. When I was

999
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,080
Speaker 1: starting my broadcasting career and I was an intern and

1000
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: we was just say, we was in a tight locker room.

1001
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 1: I was holding the microphone talking to somebody while I

1002
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: was on my knees because the locker room was real tight,

1003
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: and when I turned around, let's just say, I turned

1004
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 1: around and another microphone hit me on my forehead right there,

1005
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: because you know, because the players were so close to

1006
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: each other. And the guy said, well, I'm sorry, excuse me.

1007
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: You know me so but you know, yeah, that that

1008
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: that was a really thank you answer. I appreciate you,

1009
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: but that was that wasn't want for me to say too,

1010
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: because that was part of my broadcasting career. That was

1011
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 1: my introduction. I probably was. I was about to quit. You. Hey,

1012
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 1: you won't be the first person to start a broadcasting

1013
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: career because they got it on their head. So what

1014
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: do you saff He says, I'm sorry, what do you say?

1015
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: All right? Get up? I mean you know this well

1016
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: he was. He was a superstar in the NBA. All

1017
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: I can do is like was was damn at least

1018
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: it was his? All right? Who were talking about? We

1019
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: talking about? He wouldn't say that. I'm pretty sure he en.

1020
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of faith has been slapped by

1021
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: that pigs. I'm been saying, a superstar or scribe man?

1022
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: Is it a hull of things? He's a Hall of Famer, obviously,

1023
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. Yeah, all of thing. Yeah,

1024
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 1: But you know, Mike, what you're doing with your book

1025
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 1: is a great man, because we have to create space

1026
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: for each other to discuss our brokenness and discuss our

1027
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: traumas without being canceled. You know, yes, the person you

1028
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: probably heard people and you know, we got to create

1029
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: these spaces to have these conversations. We have to give

1030
00:50:22,719 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: each other the grace you want God to give us. Yeah,

1031
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 1: And I appreciate you guys giving me the platform to

1032
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:28,959
Speaker 1: be able to talk about that because, like you said,

1033
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: Charlo Man, I appreciate you using your platform to basically

1034
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: get that word out that we can't be ashamed. We

1035
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: gotta stop manning up. If we continue to man up,

1036
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: soon or later, it's gonna be manned down. Man, I

1037
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: mean six feet down, because I keep telling people, had

1038
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: I not written this book, I would be dead right now.

1039
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 1: Think about this as black people, every single person in

1040
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: this country has had to deal with some kind of trauma.

1041
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: We're dealing with trauma right now. Basically, when you're afraid

1042
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: to get in your car get stopped by the police,

1043
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: that's trauma. That's paint. Feel free to talk about that

1044
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: type of stuff and not be ashamed of it, because

1045
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: being a man is admitting that you have problems and

1046
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: you need help with those problems. And that's why I'm

1047
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: here for man, That's what I'm gonna trying to do.

1048
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on using my platform for that regard.

1049
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 1: Another takeaway from this book is a lot of people

1050
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: see you as a successful Mike Hill now, but they

1051
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 1: don't know how long it took for you to get there,

1052
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: and all the trials and tribulations that you had to have,

1053
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: even getting fired, having to dumb yourself down to be

1054
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: on a network and not show your real personality, feeling betrayal,

1055
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: all of those things at work, and how hard it

1056
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: is to just keep going when things aren't working out.

1057
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: And I think that's a really huge valuable takeaway for people.

1058
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: It's not an overnight thing. Yeah, I appreciate you saying that,

1059
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 1: because part of the book is about my professional growth

1060
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: and my development and things like you said that I

1061
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: had to go through and having to basically I lost myself,

1062
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, to get a dream job at ESPN and

1063
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: then basically be told you know at one time that

1064
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 1: I was being too ghetto, you know, and run of

1065
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: the reasons why I wasn't moving up being too ghetto.

1066
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: And you know, I was talking about NVY the other

1067
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 1: day when Ivy came out and he was talking about

1068
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 1: what somebody at a network basically told him that he

1069
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: wasn't black enough. So I've been that that guy that

1070
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 1: in a lot of places that I've been. I've been

1071
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: too black for some people. I've been too ghetto so

1072
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,240
Speaker 1: to speak to some people, and I've been too white

1073
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: for other people. I've been corny or whatnot. So I'm

1074
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 1: kind of in between, and it's kind of hard. So

1075
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 1: once you realize who you are and you step into

1076
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,879
Speaker 1: who you are and you don't care what other people think,

1077
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: it's so liberating. But going through what I went through

1078
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,760
Speaker 1: in my life, being fired, like you said, for whatever reasons,

1079
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 1: I got fired and you'll see it in the book

1080
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: or whatever, the ups and downs at ESPN, and been

1081
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: losing my personality and losing who I was. Can't look

1082
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: myself in a mirror and realize that I lost who

1083
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 1: Mike kill was. I mean, that was tough and I

1084
00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: finally got that back. So you'll see the transgressions and

1085
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,279
Speaker 1: the transformation that I had with my professional career as well.

1086
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely appreciate you brother for checking in. Man, we really

1087
00:52:55,200 --> 00:53:00,919
Speaker 1: do it. Definitely showing the bookie, Michael. We'll be doing

1088
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: Angela Gue's book Club, the Well Read book Club, so

1089
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate you for that. We'll be announcing that date shortly.

1090
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:08,359
Speaker 1: I got one more question though, because I know you've

1091
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: been doing the work on yourself, so your ego isn't

1092
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: as fragile as it used to be. But when you

1093
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,799
Speaker 1: saw the headline a couple of weeks ago that your

1094
00:53:15,800 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: fiance says she's been having horrible quarantine sex with you,

1095
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,160
Speaker 1: how did that? How did that? How did that hit

1096
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: for you? You know it didn't. It didn't affect you

1097
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,160
Speaker 1: whatsoever because I know what I'm doing in the bedroom

1098
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 1: for us, so I know I know I'm putting it down. Dog.

1099
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: I mean, look, hey, bro, the reviews the okay, to

1100
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, so late. You know how

1101
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: clickbait is it if you're read. Yeah, that's not what

1102
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 1: she was saying. He was talking. She was talking about

1103
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,919
Speaker 1: more the circumstance, the environment. R Yeah, because our kids

1104
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: were in the house, so man, she couldn't you know

1105
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: she couldn't get a scream on man, my girl, like

1106
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know, you come a long way from

1107
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 1: from the beginning of this book when you were hunting

1108

00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: oh Gosh reports Breakfast Club. Well, Mariah did a sit

1115
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: down with Oprah and this is all about her new book.

1116
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: She did an interview for the Oprah Conversation and she

1117
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: talked about some of the stories that she is sharing

1118
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that is

1119
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: coming out on September twenty ninth. It's a lot going

1120
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 1: on September twenty ninth. By the way, that's the first

1121
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,440
Speaker 1: debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It's awesome my

1122
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: brother's birthday. And she discussed as many things, including growing

1123
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: up by racial and what that experience was like. It

1124
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 1: wasn't that I didn't like my hair when it was behaving,

1125
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 1: but as I grew up a little bit, it went

1126
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: from baby hair to like matted, unruly hair that nobody

1127
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: was combing through or understanding that you can't have a

1128
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,439
Speaker 1: little girl running around with matt in her head. Feel

1129
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: like I was hated on by certain people in my

1130
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: family for having the lighter hair, and but then if

1131
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 1: they only realized, like, no, actually, I have like matted

1132
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: hair which is frizzy and curly, and like it could

1133
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: look good if we had some conditioner. So your mother,

1134
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:30,680
Speaker 1: did you know what to do with it? And many

1135
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 1: times she just let it go. She also discusses dating

1136
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: Derk Jeter and how that helped her get over her

1137
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: relationship and get out of her relationship with Tammy Motola.

1138
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 1: He was a catalyst that helped me get out of

1139
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: that relationship, and I think that it was beautiful and

1140
00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: his family was a healthy family, and they changed my

1141
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,440
Speaker 1: viewpoint that, oh, it's because of the biracial situation that

1142
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: my family so screwed up, as opposed to it's them,

1143
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 1: you know. And yes, those things did play a huge

1144
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: part in their dysfunction, but it was healthy for me

1145
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: to see a functional family that basically kind of looked

1146
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,520
Speaker 1: like mine but didn't feel like mine. And then she

1147
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,279
Speaker 1: talked about her twins, the kids, and how they help her.

1148
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: They helped to heal me every day, every time we

1149
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: have a moment that feels real and authentic and genuine,

1150
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: and it's them loving me unconditionally. The only other time

1151
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: my fably got it, got it. You know, I am

1152
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: actually interested in reading Mariah Carry's book. I really am. Yeah,

1153
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: ever since the time Mariah Carry came into the Breakfast

1154
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: Club studios and she was in full diva mode and

1155
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,799
Speaker 1: she had her own lighting team and she made us

1156
00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:44,200
Speaker 1: turn our lights down and set hers up. And when

1157
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:45,600
Speaker 1: we said to her, well, you're not going to be

1158
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 1: able to see us, she said, that's the point, darling.

1159
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: I've always liked her. I like people who are unapologetically themselves,

1160
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 1: even if themselves is a total diva. Now it isn't

1161
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,799
Speaker 1: DJs one. Mariah is DJ also. Yes, he just such

1162
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 1: one belongs to Windy Williams. And now you must not

1163
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,640
Speaker 1: know how this works. See, okay, how does this work?

1164
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: Wendy has a leash around sus one, all right, okay,

1165
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: until that leash is off, he belongs to Wendy. That's

1166
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 1: how this works. Suss Will realized that what he tries,

1167
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: he's getting all the money. All right, Well better he

1168
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: better hope Maria and Wendy have a good relationship. Because

1169
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: Maria don't come to Wendy's show to promote that book.

1170
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,040
Speaker 1: Wendy will be quick to say, f Mariah and sus

1171
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: you better not go on the road with her. Wow,

1172
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: So is that how it works? Is that how you

1173
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: sat on her lap? She has a leash on you.

1174
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: And that's right. You see that little talk, sit down,

1175
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: come down, sit down, tame puppet all right now. John

1176
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: Legend says that he and Chrissy t can go to therapy,

1177
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: and he also said that therapy and communication are some

1178
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 1: of the factors that has helped their marriage. Last he said,

1179
00:57:52,200 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: it sounds obvious, but being with someone you really care about,

1180
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: respect and enjoy being around. I think that's the crucial

1181
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: foundation than communicating, being concern are listening to your partner

1182
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: and making sure their needs are met. And we go

1183
00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: to therapy sometimes. I think every couple who's been together

1184
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: for a long time could use time to talk with

1185
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: the third party to help with whatever concerns they have

1186
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: and this was with Cosmopolitan UK. I agree with you.

1187
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: I'll go to therapy with your other half. I've been

1188
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: in therapy before. I've been before a long time ago.

1189
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: But we still this people that we speak with when

1190
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: we have conversations or is this a disagreement, but nah,

1191
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: I mean we have a you know, you know what

1192
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: helps us a lot, not be honest, taping the podcast

1193
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: with each other. Yep. That podcast does everything because every

1194
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 1: week we talk about what's going on in all relationship

1195
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 1: or things that happen, and we just sit down and

1196
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: talk to each other. There's no arguments, it's just discussion

1197
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: and communication. So that podcast helps a lot. I love it.

1198
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: I do want to add a couple of therapy to

1199
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: the repertoire. I mean I've been before, and you know

1200
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: I go individually every week, but yeah, I think a

1201
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: couple of therapy is great. Felicia Rashad has joined social media.

1202
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: She put up a video and told her fans that

1203
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: she's there. I told my sister Debbie, there are so

1204
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: many Twitter, Facebook, Instagram accounts with my name already on it.

1205
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: Why should I do this? She said, yeah, this, but

1206
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,439
Speaker 1: they're not the real you. So this is the real

1207
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: me talking to the real you, and I'm looking forward

1208
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:21,439
Speaker 1: to posting about things that matter. Was the video upside down?

1209
00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: She added together it was good. Why would you try

1210
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: to play her like that? Let me saying all right,

Speaker 1: said several bullets he fired inside Taylor's apartment. In March thirteenth,

1252
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: went into a neighboring apartment where a pregnant woman, a man,

1253
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: and a child were home, but neither him nor Sergeant

1254
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan matten Lee our detective Miles cost Growth were charged

1255
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: with killing Brianna Taylor, an unarmed black woman. Look, I

1256
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting any type of justice. This is America, Okay.

1257
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: When justice is served, I'm shocked, pleasantly, surprised, joyful even

1258
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: which is why because we should never celebrate people for

1259
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to do. But when justice isn't served,

1260
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what I am. Each case is different,

1261
01:02:19,200 --> 01:02:22,080
Speaker 1: each case feels different. I was talking to my dear

1262
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:25,960
Speaker 1: sister Angela Ry last night and I told her I

1263
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: just feel bad, Okay, I feel humanly helpless because at

1264
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, as a black man in America.

1265
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: I just want to win, that's all we want, you know.

1266
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: And winning to me isn't being the richest, it's not

1267
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: being the most successful. Winning to me is just being free.

1268
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: What does that mean? I don't know. Winning to me

1269
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: is just simply receiving liberty, equality, and justice. You know,

1270
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 1: those democratic values they tell us about. Those three words

1271
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: is supposed to represent basic values of democratic political systems.

1272
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,120
Speaker 1: At the bare minimum, a human in this country should

1273
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: be able to get liberty, equal quality, and justice. But

1274
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: we know that's not the case when you're black. All right.

1275
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 1: Democratic values are supposed to support the belief that an

1276
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,760
Speaker 1: orderly society can exist in which freedom is preserved. But

1277
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: order and freedom must be balanced. Right, So when you

1278
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 1: see all this civil unrest in the street right now,

1279
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 1: after verdicts like Brianna Taylor happened, and people are acting

1280
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: out of order, it's because there's no balance, all right.

1281
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,520
Speaker 1: Order and freedom must be balanced. There will never be

1282
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:30,480
Speaker 1: ordered when a people are not free. And it's hard

1283
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: to feel truly free when you don't feel protected, when

1284
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, at any moment in this country your human

1285
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 1: rights can be violated. So we keep talking about our

1286
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: civil rights being violated. Let me tell y'all something. In

1287
01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 1: order for one to respect our civil rights, they have

1288
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: to respect our human rights, which is my right to

1289
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: simply live. Okay, what does this country say? What does

1290
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: this country say? I think it's my right to life

1291
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: and liberty that bs. This country says everyone is entitled

1292
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: to these rights without discrimination. Where That's why I don't

1293
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 1: feel that way. I'm a black man. If it wasn't

1294
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: for my faith in a higher power in my right

1295
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,800
Speaker 1: to bear arms, I would never feel safe in this country.

1296
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean when I say I want

1297
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: black people to win. A win to me, is us

1298
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: as black people feeling protected. Okay, hard to feel like

1299
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: that when you live in the United States of anxiety. Okay.

1300
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: I want black people to feel like we matter. I

1301
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: want us to be able to deal with our generational

1302
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: traumas in heal. But we are not ever able to

1303
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 1: do that because we keep getting retraumatized over and over

1304
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: in this country. This country will always remind us that

1305
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 1: black lives simply don't matter. I got a beautiful black wife,

1306
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,560
Speaker 1: three beautiful black daughters. I am a black man. I

1307
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: just you know, think about it today we matter about

1308
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,840
Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor. We're still mad about George Floyd. You got

1309
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: Ahmad Aubrey, but all those names are interchangeable with Sandra Blain,

1310
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 1: Walter Scott, Treyvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Natasha mckenne, Philando cast

1311
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: still could be you like, it's just too much. And

1312
01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, November look I play

1313
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 1: into but police politicians, don't politicize black pain that scared

1314
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: me in the voting because these injustices happen under Democrats too.

1315
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what party is in power, because once again,

1316
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 1: this isn't about civil rights, it's about human rights, and

1317
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: white people in this country have always looked at black

1318
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: folks as subhuman. So does it matter who's in office

1319
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: locally nationally when we've been watching police and damn there

1320
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: everyone else get away with these types of injustice towards

1321
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: black people forever. Once again, I'm voting, but don't politicize

1322
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 1: black pain that scared me to vote. Don't tell me

1323
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: how the justice system needs to be reformed. No, no, no,

1324
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: because that system was never designed to provide equal justice

1325
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,160
Speaker 1: across the board. Okay, when they say justice for all,

1326
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 1: they were not talking about black folks. Bernie Sanders hit

1327
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: it on the head yesterday when he said in a tweet,

1328
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:54,280
Speaker 1: Rihanna Taylor's life mattered. This result is a disgrace and

1329
01:05:54,400 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 1: an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racing. Okay,

1330
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: the time for fundamental changes now. Keywords and that our

1331
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: criminal justice system is racist. There is no reforming or

1332
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 1: racist system. Okay, you got to overhaul the whole thing

1333
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:14,120
Speaker 1: from top to bottom. Throw it out. The criminal justice

1334
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: system in America is defective. Product, take it off the

1335
01:06:16,920 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 1: assembly line. Let's build something new because this is not working.

1336
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the answers, Okay, I'm just telling you

1337
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: how I feel. I hate when I hear politicians get

1338
01:06:27,120 --> 01:06:29,240
Speaker 1: asked about these situations and the first thing they say

1339
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: is make sure you protest peacefully. We don't need any violence.

1340
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: How about tell that to the cops, tell them the

1341
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,840
Speaker 1: police peacefully, Tell them we don't need any more violence.

1342
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: Help show improve through actions and deeds, and hold them

1343
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: accountable when situations like Brianna Taylor happened, and maybe they

1344
01:06:45,080 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: will slow down on violence. What are the consequences to

1345
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,520
Speaker 1: their actions. They don't lose their pensions, they don't go

1346
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: to prison. What will ensure that situations like Brianna Taylor,

1347
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 1: George Floyd and insert black name here don't happen again?

1348
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: All right? These politicians have it more smoke for protesters

1349
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: than they do the police. You have more smoke for

1350
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:07,080
Speaker 1: the people in pain than the people causing the pain.

1351
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: These politicians love acknowledging the effect, but not the cause.

1352
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: Is sickness, man, he really is. And I don't know

1353
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: what to do. I don't know what to say. I

1354
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: have faith in God, Okay. I go to therapy to

1355
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: avoid going crazy. And I think every black person in

1356
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: America should own a legal firearm and you should know

1357
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: how to use it. That's all I got, Black people,

1358
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: That's all I got. If y'all got some great ideas,

1359
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: I'm all ears. But at this moment, today, right now,

1360
01:07:33,800 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: I got nothing, just like Brianna Taylor's family got nothing

1361
01:07:38,520 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: in regards to justice. And if there's no justice, there's

1362
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 1: no peace in the streets. Okay. And that's the way

1363
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:50,160
Speaker 1: karma works in America, Almighty America. No one and I

1364
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 1: mean no one can escape the law karma. Please let

01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:11,719
Speaker 1: to speak to black women in particular because black women's

1389
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 1: experience has been really different in this country and around

1390
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,400
Speaker 1: the world when it comes to police brutality, when it

1391
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: comes to feminism, when it comes to our rights, when

1392
01:09:21,080 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: it comes to being respected, and it's a continuing issue

1393
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: and we see this right now with Brianna Taylor and

1394
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: no justice for her family. She was killed by police

1395
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: officers and there were no charges based off of her

1396
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: getting killed. So we want to talk to black women

1397
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: and talk about how you feel. As you know, the

1398
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: most famous quote, the most disrespected person in America is

1399
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 1: the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is

1400
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:50,880
Speaker 1: the black woman. The most neglected person in America is

1401
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 1: the black woman. And you can see that when it

1402
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: comes to finance is what women get paid. Women get

1403
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: make eighty two cents for every dollar that a white

1404
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: man makes, but black women may sixty two cents still

1405
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: in the United States for every dollar that a white

1406
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:05,759
Speaker 1: man makes. So we're always still at the bottom of everything.

1407
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 1: And I want to get people. I want to get

1408
01:10:07,520 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: black women to call and talk about how you're feeling

1409
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: this morning. Black women also face police brutality, sexual assault

1410
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:16,960
Speaker 1: at a higher rate than white women. So I just

1411
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 1: want to get your your thoughts this morning. Hello, who's

1412
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: this Hello? My name is Kia from Jersey. I just

1413
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,760
Speaker 1: want to know where is face to be a black

1414
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: female in this country because from a young age where

1415
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,439
Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, you're not safe around your family,

1416
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 1: You're not safe in your neighborhood. Growing up, you know

1417
01:10:37,439 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: you gotta be safe, Like it's one way, be safe, safe, safe,

1418
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: But where's that police? Because now we're at a point

1419
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 1: where you can't even be too sleep in bed. That

1420
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 1: is scary, Like I'm feel afraid for black men, like

1421
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: the police and everything I so annoying, But it's us too.

1422
01:10:56,800 --> 01:11:00,799
Speaker 1: Where's that place? Where's that place of safety? It's not happening,

1423
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:06,559
Speaker 1: it's non existing. And I replied, it's disgusting that the

1424
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:10,800
Speaker 1: outcome of this piece. It's disgusting. It's disgusting, and I

1425
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 1: just want to know how long it's gonna lie. And

1426
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, black women show up for everybody else too,

1427
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: everybody we don't we get talked about. But where is

1428
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: a place of safety for a black female? And I'm

1429
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: not anywhere? Yeah, Um, I agree with everything that that

1430
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: everybody is saying, But I think we're all in the

1431
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 1: same boat it comes to racism in America. You know,

1432
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: it's a system that's against black people. It was never

1433
01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: designed for black people. And we are all in this together,

1434
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 1: and that's what I think we all need to understand.

1435
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: You know that there was a black man in that

1436
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: house with her who actually defended her and his residence,

1437
01:11:51,600 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: and I'm shocked that he's alive. And that's the situation

1438
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: that as a black man, I pray I'm never in

1439
01:11:56,720 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 1: NV I know, you pray you're never in it, you

1440
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,600
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, we never, even though we

1441
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 1: will defend our families, we don't ever want to be

1442
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: in that situation. You know. Let's go to another We

Speaker 1: They have a whole organization called Say Her Name that

1445
01:12:11,200 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: started because there's so many black women that were killed

1446
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:18,439
Speaker 1: by police officers and people don't talk about it as much. Well,

Speaker 1: being a professional, as being a mother, I always have

1458

Speaker 1: to I always have to have that guard up. I

1459

1472

1473
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 1: women being neglected, being disrespected in this country, even financially.

1474
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: The Crown Act just recently is about to go to

1475
01:13:52,160 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: the Senate now, and even our hair being and I

1476
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 1: know it might be something that some people might think

1477
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:01,320
Speaker 1: of as small, but being discriminated again because of how

1478
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,160
Speaker 1: your hair is warned so much that we had to

1479
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 1: pass a Crown Act or work on getting something like

1480
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,240
Speaker 1: that passed. Um. So it's just so many different things. Um.

1481
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: More than eighty percent of black women are heads of

1482
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:13,679
Speaker 1: their household too in the United States, and I wanted

1483
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,720
Speaker 1: to point that out as well. So the fact that

1484
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:18,920
Speaker 1: we make sixty two cents on the dollar in comparison

1485
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: to white men but still have to be the heads

1486
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 1: of households, Imagine what that does for an entire family.

1487
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: So we want to get your thoughts on what's going

1488
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:27,759
Speaker 1: on here. All right, Well, let's go to the phone

1495
01:14:45,320 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: like hurt. Like I was playing before Heath and came

1496
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 1: out and said it because it's kind of like, you know,

1497
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: everybody pretty much knew, you know, once they took the settlement.

1498
01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 1: But um, you know they're still protesting. They you know,

1499
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,720

1500
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:02,759
Speaker 1: just it's very sad. And I just wanted to also

1501
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: say that I do agree with Lebron James tweaked because

1502
01:15:06,600 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 1: it is hard for a black woman. It's like we

1503
01:15:08,479 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 1: have to go out in the world and fight the

1504
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: world and you know, try to make it and be successful.

Speaker 1: peace in your home. Makes you got peace at home.

1508
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,000

1509
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: just stick together, you know. But um, right now, like

1511
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,639

Speaker 1: I have a family member who you know, she kind

1525
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:21,879
Speaker 1: of sort of works within the um ga here um

1526
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and you know, we talk about it

1527
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: every day. I have a friend who's been the healthcare field,

1528
01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 1: so she deals with ancients with mental health, and you know,

1529
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 1: we were into trying to talk about it every day.

1530
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm low key in education, so it's like, as a

1531
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: black woman, like what what more can we do? This?

1532
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 1: This is really drained. It's just really drenking. We just

1533
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:49,040
Speaker 1: need them. And I have my way to work now,

1534
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: I work with kids. I meant to out here. I'm

1535
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: on my way to work. Now I have to get

1536
01:16:53,040 --> 01:16:54,920
Speaker 1: ready to put the smile on my face for parents.

1537
01:16:54,960 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: But I am trying imagine, imagine what Angelie said just now.

1538
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: It's very important. It is about support. And I just

1539
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: don't want black women to feel like they're alone, because

1540
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 1: that could Brianna Taylor. That could be our wife, our daughter,

1541
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:12,439
Speaker 1: or still mother. Things like this, Yep, when things like

1542
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 1: this happened to Brianna Taylor and impacts us all there

1543
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:16,639
Speaker 1: is no Black women have it worse when it comes

1544
01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 1: to racism. Black men have it worse when it comes

1545
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 1: to racism. We have a whole system against us, a

1546
01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 1: whole system oppressing us, a whole system that isn't providing

1547
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,160
Speaker 1: justice for any of us. So I don't want systems

1548
01:17:28,160 --> 01:17:30,120
Speaker 1: to feel like they're alone. Because for every Brianna Taylor,

1549
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: thats a George Floyd, for every Sandra bland As, a

1550
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: Filando cast deal, for every Natasha mckinned as the Tamir Rice.

1551
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,360
Speaker 1: So yes, I want this is defense, get it off

1552
01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 1: their chest. But I need everyone to know black people

1553
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 1: we are in this together. The system is against us,

1554
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,840
Speaker 1: and while y'are fighting, we as black men are here

1555
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: to defend y'all, because I'm gonna die by mind. And

1556
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't think America understands the position they are putting

1557
01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,640
Speaker 1: us in as black people. I really don't think they

1558
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: get it, all right. And I want to recommend a

1559
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:57,600
Speaker 1: book that I just started reading. It's called Invisible No

1560
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,080
Speaker 1: More Please. Violence against Black Women and Women of Color

1561
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,720
Speaker 1: is by Andrew or Richie, So just to get some

1562
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 1: more insight into the history of what's going on in

1563
01:18:05,439 --> 01:18:09,240
Speaker 1: our country. And yeah, that's just the support that we

1564
01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: need for people to pay attention when it's black women. Also,

1565
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,400
Speaker 1: all right, we got rooms on the way. What we're

1566
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 1: talking about, Yes, and let's talk about Kanye West. You know,

1567
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 1: he's been calling out these labels and he got called

1568
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: out as well. So here's what he said he's about

1569
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,920
Speaker 1: to do for good music artists. All right, we'll get

1570
01:18:25,960 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the

1571
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:38,679
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report with Angela, Yes Breast.

1572
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 1: So Kanye West has promised to return his fifty percent

1573
01:18:44,200 --> 01:18:48,439
Speaker 1: share of all good music Artists masters, and he actually

1574
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: challenged Universal to do the same. He said, I'm giving

1575
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 1: all good music artists back the fifty percent share. I

1576
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: have of their masters. Now, let's have Universal match me.

1577
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: If Kanye doesn't fall through with that, then we know

1578
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: he's full of it because he didn't tell people that

1579
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: he owned the masters to his good music artists when

1580
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: he initially went on his rant. So all good music

1581
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: artists need to save that tweet. Not sure, it's not

1582
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: sure it's good in the court of law, but save

1583
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:16,720
Speaker 1: it anyway. Well, he's been talking so crazy, he has

1584
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: to stay on staying on his word right now. Big

1585
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 1: Sear responded, Big Searan responded, thank you, This would help

1586
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 1: so much, and Designer said thanks, and he put the

1587
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: one hundred emoji. I hate knowing what I know, but

1588
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: I wish Kanye West would tell people the whole truth.

1589
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: Like he's not telling folks that he renegotiated with def

1590
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Jam Universal four times and chose the money over his

1591
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,360
Speaker 1: masters every time. He's also not telling people that he

1592
01:19:41,400 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: owns the masters the Jesus and every album after that

1593
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 1: he's talking about slavery is a choice. No, signing those

1594
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: record contracts he signed is a choice. That was really it.

1595
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: He also tweeted out, I'm not releasing nothing on Gap

1596
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: till I'm on the board, and he said, I'm wearing

1597
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: Jordan's till I'm on the board of Adidas. I was

1598
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,960
Speaker 1: confused with that. You have your own sneakers. It's not

1599
01:20:01,000 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 1: like you have a part now. You have your own sneaker.

1600
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: You're not an in door serve Adidas. You have your

1601
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 1: own Adidas, and you want to wear Jordan maybe just

1602
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: like George Better. I don't know, or at least he's

1603
01:20:09,439 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: wearing another black man sneak. And I just want the

1604
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 1: record to show that I sit on the board of

1605
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:15,760
Speaker 1: the Black Effect podcast network and network, and I am

1606
01:20:15,760 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: a majority owner of with iHeartRadio. But you know, those

1607
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,439
Speaker 1: type of things have to be negotiated beforehand. But what

1608
01:20:20,520 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: do I know? All right now, Ed Sharon, As you know,

1609
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 1: it is being sued and that is for using Marvin

1610
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 1: Gays Let's get it on for his twenty fourteen song

1611
01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 1: Thinking out Loud using the harmony, melody and rhythmic components.

1612
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,720
Speaker 1: So I want to play both songs and I want

1613
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 1: to hear if you think that this is official. So honey,

1614
01:20:49,680 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: nah take man timing off of the F stop sounds

1615
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: very similar. Oh, I can definitely hear some some what

1616
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: do you call it an interpolation? That you could definitely

1617
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:13,920
Speaker 1: have some Marvin Gaye is shit in it. So so

1618
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: what are they doing on this norm Well, at Sharon's

1619
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:18,559
Speaker 1: at Sharon is responding to the lawsuit, and he responded

1620
01:21:18,600 --> 01:21:21,040
Speaker 1: when it first was filed. He said that the core

1621
01:21:21,160 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: progressions and drum patterns were extremely commonplace in the public

1622
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: domain and unprotectable. All right, Well, the song Let's Get

1623
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 1: It On was actually co written by Ted Towns, and

1624
01:21:29,479 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: so it's the Towns in the state that is seeking

1625
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: songwriting credit and they want a portion of the revenue

1626
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:36,320
Speaker 1: from the song. Now, Townsend family did file this lawsuit

1627
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: against Sharon back in twenty sixteen, and a couple of

1628
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: days ago, Ed Townsend's daughter, Catherine Townsend just spoke out

1629
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:47,240
Speaker 1: about this, and she said, theft and bullying has been

1630
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:50,160
Speaker 1: the only priority of the record label's agenda. It stopped today,

1631
01:21:50,200 --> 01:21:52,240
Speaker 1: Sony Atlantic and all the rest of them. We're coming

1632
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: for our forty acres in the mule plus an interest

1633
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,320
Speaker 1: and know that we're not going to be silent. It

1634
01:21:56,360 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: don't stop till my casket dropped. Yeah. Ed is a

1635
01:21:58,800 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: great guy. He's not a vulture, he's not a thief.

1636
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: So I'm sure Ed would rectify that situation if if

1637
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: there is indeed a problem, all right now, Academics says

1638
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: he had a conversation with Quavo and Offset, and that's

1639
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: after he was saying that the megos fell off. And

1640
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say about their conversation. I

1641
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,599
Speaker 1: spoke to off Set your suit to my man off Set,

1642
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie yo. I want to really

1643
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:25,800
Speaker 1: give him credit for being mad or reasonable and understanding

1644
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: and saying, hey, yo, listen. I listened to the segment

1645
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 1: and I felt you were saying something that we needed

1646
01:22:32,080 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 1: to hear. He literally said, I want you to expound

1647
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 1: on those things. And we had like about thirty minute

1648
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: conversation where for the most part he was listening. He

1649
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: was like yeah. He asked me what feels different, what

1650
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:45,799
Speaker 1: looks different? Why? Why do you think this is happening?

1651
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: And for him, it was about gaining information, all right,

1652
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 1: y'all nothing to worry about there, y'all putting too much

1653
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,680
Speaker 1: pressure on artists. Man Mego's been around for damn near

1654
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: a decade. They have changed hip hop, you know, like

1655
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,200
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna be that red hot artist every year.

1656
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:04,960
Speaker 1: You can only hope to be consistent. And I would

1657
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 1: think the Megals were consistent. They they put out solo

1658
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 1: albums last year. Could just have like a clout with

1659
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 1: Cardi B last year, Like I don't. I don't just

1660
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 1: say that they fell off. They had. They haven't fell

1661

1664
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,720
Speaker 1: a COVID year. We don't know what artists would have

01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 1: been doing, you know, if they weren't sitting at home.

Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, like, I don't, I think y'all

1667
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: putting too much pressure on folks man. All right, And

1668
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,479
Speaker 1: Kodak Black is asking Donald Term for help. He wants

1669
01:23:36,520 --> 01:23:39,280

Speaker 1: petition to Trump and they're asking to cut Kodak a

1671
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: little bit of a break. And so they said that

1674
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: eighteen months. So they're just asking for some help. And

1675
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: actually called that Black's attorney was a contestant on The

1676
01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,479
Speaker 1: Apprentice Away back in two thousand and five. Trump probably

1691
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: for black men to be able to express their brokenness
