0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.839
<v Speaker 1>show cracking front page news. What we're talking about. Well,

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>of course we are going to talk about Brianna Taylor

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.200
<v Speaker 1>this morning and how she still hasn't received justice. Will

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.920
<v Speaker 1>tell you what's going on in Louisville. Will tell you

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>people's responses uh to the grand jury's indictment of former

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Louisville police officer A. Brake Hankinson will tell you what

0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that indictment means and what's going on with the other officers.

0:02:57.840 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lot

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>this to this club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We all to breakfast club.

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's getting some front page news. What we're starting you Well,

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:16.200
<v Speaker 1>let's start, of course with Brianna Taylor and a Kentucky

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 1>grand jury did indict former Louisville police officer Brett Hankinson

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 1>that was on three counts of wanton endangerment in the

0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>first degree, and neither he nor the other two officers

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>who were involved in that encounter were charged in her death. So,

0:03:31.520 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>just to be clear, none of the charges that Brett

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Hankinson faced have anything to do with killing Brianna Taylor.

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>This all has to do with the bullets that penetrated

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>the wall of the residence and entered a neighboring apartment

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.240
<v Speaker 1>that was occupied by a child, a man, and a

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>pregnant woman. So Brianna Taylor, there's no charges regarding her killing. Now,

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 1>even when you know, even when you know that you

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>know it's not gonna no justice is gonna be served.

0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.720
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't doesn't hurt any less, I'll tell you that.

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:05.040
<v Speaker 1>And you could tell just by the way they were

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 1>setting up Louisville and shutting down the courts and making

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>sure everything was protected, they knew what was coming down yesterday.

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Now Here is the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, at

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.880
<v Speaker 1>a news conference following the Grand Jerry's announcements where he

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:25.559
<v Speaker 1>talked about the no knock. Evidence shows that officers both

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. The officers

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:39.520
<v Speaker 1>who was near in a proximity to Apartment four. In

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>other words, the warrant was not served as a no

0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>knock warrant. What officers were unable to get anyone to

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>answer or open the door to Apartment four. Decision was

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:55.800
<v Speaker 1>made to breach the door. But the boyfriend is not

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 1>The boyfriends not considered. The witness wasn't the boyfriend was

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>in the Kenneth walking Kenneth Kenneth. If Kenneth says, if

0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth says nobody knocked, his word doesn't mean anything. Yeah,

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know what bothers me is is who signed

0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.359
<v Speaker 1>off on that warrd? Like, who was the one that

0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>sent him to the wrong house. Who's the one that

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't know that the gentleman was already in custody. Who

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>signed off on that, who allowed him to go into

0:05:19.600 --> 0:05:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that house? That's that's what That's why I don't like.

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how he's not charged. That person's not

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>charged because he made a mistake. It was It's clearly

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>a mistake. It was clearly he was. It was clearly

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>they didn't do the product work. No, they didn't send

0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>him to the wrong house. He was. He was signed

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>off on a search one for Rihanna's department. They didn't

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>do it something to the wrong house. Wasn't the guy?

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.880
<v Speaker 1>He was already in custody. He was already in custody.

0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>So a little communication, all right. Now Here is a

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, talking about the investigation. He

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.800
<v Speaker 1>says it was fair and so the length of the

0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>investigation was a reflection of how important it was that

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>we got this right. We didn't want to rush it,

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and we did not. These are prosecutors and investigators who

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>don't care about political distinctions, don't care about influence in

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>any particular regard. What they care about is the truth,

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>and we presented that to the grand jury, all right.

0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>He also talks about the claims to injustice to the

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>black community. He responds to those claims, what do you

0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:30.480
<v Speaker 1>say to people who say, this is just another example

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of the black community not getting full of justice. I

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by

0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the tragic loss of miss Taylor. I understand that as

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.359
<v Speaker 1>an attorney general who is responsible for all one hundred

0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>and twenty counties in terms of being the chief legal officer,

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I understand that I understand that as a black man,

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>how painful this is, which is why it was so

0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>incredibly important for make sure that we did everything we

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:05.360
<v Speaker 1>possibly could to uncover every fact. Here's the thing for me, man,

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.520
<v Speaker 1>when officers, you know, I guess, make a mistake, I'm

0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 1>putting mistaken air quotes. When you are a victim of

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.640
<v Speaker 1>mild practice, like you know, Brianna Taylor was, what's the

0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:17.200
<v Speaker 1>punishment for the officers if it's not an arrest? What

0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is it if I'm make a mistake here on the radio.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>There's some type of consequences, Like what are the consequences

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.080
<v Speaker 1>they like they still get to keep their job. They

0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:27.520
<v Speaker 1>don't get suspended without pay, Like what happens? Like nothing?

0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Just a life is gone and it's just whatever. And

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I want to skip ahead to Donald Trump now because

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>everybody was talking about his quote response, and here's what

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>he had to say. His message to the black community.

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>What is your message to the black community who believed

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.320
<v Speaker 1>that perhaps justice was not served? Well, my messages that

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 1>I love the black community and I've done more for

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the black community than any other president with a possible

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 1>exception of Abraham Lincoln. And I mean, man, I don't

0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>know enough about it. I heard the decision was just made.

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>We've been together here and so we haven't discussed it.

0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>But after I see what the decision is, I will

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>have a commentary. Okay. Wow. And here he is talking

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>about the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who you just heard,

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and he thinks he's great, really brilliant. Kentucky Attorney General

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Cameron is doing a fantastic job. I think he's

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 1>a star. All right. That is your president, and that

0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.680

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.720

<v Speaker 1>good white people out there and not honors the guy,

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.520
<v Speaker 1>but the But to be so hard, I don't know

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.959
<v Speaker 1>when you going older bird. My girl was in a

0:10:05.000 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>sleeper and I did m worried. Don't that's real. It's

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.080
<v Speaker 1>not right man, And I'm just I'm just hold the

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.000
<v Speaker 1>blisses of all. I'll be upon feminly man. You know,

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:28.200
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you, King, Love you King? Hello? Who's this are you? Guys? Um?

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I would like to pick it off, um, Angeline Charlomagne,

0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I would like to pick it off my chest. I

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 1>have one daughter just graduated from Spellman last year. The

0:10:38.520 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 1>hurt that I feel for her mother is just unbearable.

0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.800
<v Speaker 1>And at this point in time, they're asking for us.

0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't promote violence, but I honestly feel like

0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:51.959
<v Speaker 1>it's just something to my child, you kill her. I

0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 1>think you get to list how am I supposed to

0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.559
<v Speaker 1>John's Earth without my daughter? So I want a Maratha

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>to know how they're creating the Christ Turners, the new

0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.800
<v Speaker 1>Nat Turners by consistently giving us in justice when it

0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to the school system, when it comes to the

0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.400
<v Speaker 1>criminal system, like at this point, they're leaving us no

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 1>choice but to protect ourselves. And I agree with Charlomagne, um,

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>it is time that we get our own guns because

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>it's going to go down, not the president that's saying

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>he's not going to leave office. As if people stug

0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.440
<v Speaker 1>when it's confidentially, Um, we have to stand up. We

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:30.320
<v Speaker 1>have to be strong. And I again I feel so

0:11:30.400 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 1>bad for Starna Taylor's MoMA, considering I have one daughter,

0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and I'm telling you, if he hid anything to my baby,

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>your kid will not be able to live in Your

0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>mom's not gonna be able to live it. I'm sorry,

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>but this is what we are they're asking us to.

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>They're now I'm telling us, you have no choice, you

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.720
<v Speaker 1>get no justice. So the only justice that I see

0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.160
<v Speaker 1>is if we saw it raising up like Nats in

0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the system turns in this blob because they're not going

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to give it to us. Top of the day, guys.

0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 1>You that's the best thing I thought about was to

0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>make up Palmer Brianna Taylor's There's so much love and

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>prayers out to her because this is such a difficult

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>time to have to go through this. Yeah. Absolutely, And America,

0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 1>this is the energy that you're creating because you're not

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're simply not giving folks no justice and

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you're leaving folks no choice. All right, And every black person,

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>every black person in America absolutely needs to own a

0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:24.720
<v Speaker 1>legal firearm. That is a form of self care. Every

0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:28.080
<v Speaker 1>black person in America needs to own a legal firearm

0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that is a form of self care when you are

0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.960
<v Speaker 1>black in this country. Get it off your chest. Eight

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 1>need to vent, hit us up now with the Breakfast Club.

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:47.960
<v Speaker 1>get it off your chest. Whether you're man here from

0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.319
<v Speaker 1>you on the Breakfast Club. You got something on your

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:56.319
<v Speaker 1>mont Hello, who's this? Good morning? Hatred should get it

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.120
<v Speaker 1>off your chest? Hi, good morning, guys. I'm gonna say

0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>stop by thing Bless you guys on the beautiful day.

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Bless you too, Queen. I just want to talk about

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>this situation with Brianna Taylor. It's just very disheart and

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 1>as a black mom, it's just so disappointed to see

0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that her mom is not going to get justice for

0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.679
<v Speaker 1>her daughter. And it's just like, we don't have no

0:13:18.760 --> 0:13:23.000
<v Speaker 1>trust in our system. We're raising kids and very hard time.

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like you don't know which way to turn. You

0:13:25.600 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know what to tell your children about what's going on,

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.400
<v Speaker 1>especially if they're young. It's very hard to sit down

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>and have these hard conversations with them. But us as

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.840
<v Speaker 1>the black community needs to have these hard conversations. We

0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>need to expand and let our black children know that

0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the way they're being treated and the things that are

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 1>happening to them are not okay and it's not right.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>It's because, you know, I feel like none of us

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>were surprised by the verdict, but a lot of us

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.199
<v Speaker 1>did still feel disappointed, and we also kind of was like, okay,

0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe this time, maybe this time. Absolutely, I didn't think

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>that none of us were surprised. I didn't have anything,

0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>but I still I still was praying for the family.

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:09.280
<v Speaker 1>And hoping that something good would come out of all this.

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, there were people who were very active in Louisville,

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>occupying Louisville and protesting, and a lot of things were happening.

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 1>The twelve million dollars sentlement, you feel like, Okay, maybe

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 1>they do realize something. Maybe this is an indication that

0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:28.080
<v Speaker 1>there will be some justice following that. And once again nothing.

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I didn't think that all week on this radio all

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.520
<v Speaker 1>week or then't no justice gonna be served in no way,

0:14:34.560 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>shape or form. And I really don't understand how people

0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:38.800
<v Speaker 1>can use this to tell us to vote, Like, these

0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>types of injustices happen under democrats too, doesn't matter who's

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.520
<v Speaker 1>in office locally nationally, We've been watching police and damn

0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:48.280
<v Speaker 1>there everyone else get away with these type of injustice

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.000
<v Speaker 1>towards black people forever. So how was voting going to

0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>help that? Somebody got to explain that one to me too, Like,

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I just don't think using in a moment like this

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to say we'll go vote like it's been happening under

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:03.960
<v Speaker 1>every administrat happens locally, happened nationally. How is voting gonna

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.760
<v Speaker 1>change the way white people perceive black people in America.

0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Please tell me that get it off your chest. Eight

0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 1>hundred five eight five one o five one. Now we

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 1>got rumors on the way. Yes, and we'll talk more

0:15:16.280 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>about Brianna Taylor because we just have to do that

0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:20.400
<v Speaker 1>this morning. And we'll tell you what some people have

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>been saying. We'll read you some of Lebron's tweets as well.

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are to Breakfast Club.

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the rumors. Let's tell Brianna Taylor, she's

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.400
<v Speaker 1>filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela

0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, and because we don't

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:52.400
<v Speaker 1>have enough front page news, I want to make sure

0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we address Brianna Taylor all morning. Attorney Ben Crump hosted

0:15:56.600 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson Grand County Jerry and DT's former officer Brett Hankinson

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 1>with three counts of wanton endangerment and first degree for

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.080
<v Speaker 1>bullets that went into other apartments, but nothing for the

0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:09.240
<v Speaker 1>murder of Brianna Taylor. This is outrageous and offensive. If

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Bret Hankinson's behavior was wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments,

0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.480
<v Speaker 1>then it should have been wanting endangerment in Brianna Taylor's

0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:18.320
<v Speaker 1>apartment too. In fact, it should have been wanted murder.

0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden tweeted out, even amidst the profound grief and anger,

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.320
<v Speaker 1>today's decision generated. Violence is never and can never be

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:28.359
<v Speaker 1>the answer. Those who engage in it must be held accountable.

0:16:28.440 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Jill and I are keeping the officers shot tonight in

0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:33.160
<v Speaker 1>Louisville and our prayers. We wished them both the swift

0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:35.720
<v Speaker 1>and full recovery because, as you know, there were two

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>officers who were shot yesterday during the protests. Kamala Harris

0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.440
<v Speaker 1>tweeted out tonight, I'm thinking of Brianna Taylor's family, who

0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>was still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister.

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>We must never stop speaking Brianna's name as we work

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:51.440
<v Speaker 1>to reform our justice system, including overhauling no knock warrents.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>She goes on to say, Joe Biden and I are

0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:55.680
<v Speaker 1>keeping the police officers who were shot in Louisville in

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>our hearts, wishing them a swift and speedy recovery. Violence

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>is not the answer, and we must find a way

0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.240
<v Speaker 1>to express our grief, anger, and demands in ways that

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 1>reflect the world we wish to see. Bernie Sanders tweeted

0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:09.920
<v Speaker 1>out Brianna Taylor's life matter. The result is a disgrace

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racist.

0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.720
<v Speaker 1>The time for fundamental change is now. Colin Kaepernick tweeted

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.119
<v Speaker 1>out the white supremacist institution of policing that stole Brianna

0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Taylor's life from us must be abolished for the safety

0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and well being of our people. And Lebron said, I've

0:17:27.200 --> 0:17:30.639
<v Speaker 1>been lost for words today. I'm devastated, hurt, sad, mad.

0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>We want justice for Brianna, Yet justice was met for

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 1>her neighbor's apartment walls and not her beautiful life. Was

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.800
<v Speaker 1>I surprised that the verdict absolutely not, but damn it,

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:42.679
<v Speaker 1>I was and still am hurt and heavy hearted. I

0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:46.119
<v Speaker 1>said my love to Brianna's mother, family and friends. I'm sorry,

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. The most disrespected person on earth is the

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.560
<v Speaker 1>black woman. I promise you I'll do my best to

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.040
<v Speaker 1>change this as much as I can, and even more.

0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Love to you queens all over this country and beyond.

0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So Those are just some of the tweets that was

0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 1>sent out yesterday. All right now, Chance the Rapper is

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:07.679
<v Speaker 1>telling people to vote for whoever your mom is voting for.

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.240
<v Speaker 1>He said this a couple of days ago, and people

0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.480
<v Speaker 1>went in on him on Twitter, and he said, ask

0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:15.840
<v Speaker 1>your mom who to vote for? Vote for who she say.

0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Your mom had been through a lot, Ask them and

0:18:18.119 --> 0:18:20.239
<v Speaker 1>trust them. What do y'all think about that? I'll be

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>honest with ya. I mean, you vote for you woman.

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:23.760
<v Speaker 1>My mom got some good choices, you know what I mean.

0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Ain't never is anohing wrong to go with mama's opinion,

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 1>especially if you don't necessarily know about politics and you

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't been paying attention. I don't have a problem with that.

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know who your mom's mama good money. Yeah,

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 1>it depends on who your mom is. I would say.

0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, you encourage people really to vote

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>for whoever you want to vote for. It might be

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.120
<v Speaker 1>different than which but they were going in on him,

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>and then they went on him for this. He was

0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about Justin Bieber's new album and here here's what

0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:53.560
<v Speaker 1>he had to say. This album is really some of

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:55.840
<v Speaker 1>the best music I've made. Would you agree this is

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.080
<v Speaker 1>no cap at all. I said, some of the best

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.360
<v Speaker 1>music I've ever heard period. It reminds me of when

0:19:02.400 --> 0:19:05.639
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jackson made Off the Wall. Everybody that's listening, I

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.119
<v Speaker 1>am merging it right now. I promise you it is

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>literally groundbreaking music. So of course the headline was Chance

0:19:12.720 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the Rapper says that Justin Bieber's album is like Michael

0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Jackson's Off the Wall. But Chance the Rapper was quick

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to point out he was saying it reminds me of

0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.280
<v Speaker 1>don't do that. Don't do that, Chance. You know what

0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Just say the music is fired. Just say

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the music is dope. Don't compare it to anything. And

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.440
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to compare it to something, please don't

0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.600
<v Speaker 1>compare it to Michael Jackson Off the Wall, because now

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:35.040
<v Speaker 1>I am hoping to hear something as good as Off

0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>the Wall. But it's not even about how the record sounds.

0:19:37.480 --> 0:19:39.840
<v Speaker 1>It's about how the music makes you feel. Off the

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.520
<v Speaker 1>Wall gives us a feeling, and it's a feeling that

0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>is unmatched because we can all remember what we were

0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.080
<v Speaker 1>doing as kids when we first heard Off the Wall,

0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and we've all got different moments, you know, hearing Off

0:19:49.440 --> 0:19:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the wall throughout the years that music Justin Bie was

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.160
<v Speaker 1>putting out doesn't have that kind of cachier behind the chests.

0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't do that to him, okay. And Michelle Obama

0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.199
<v Speaker 1>was on Conan O'Brien and she was talking about the

0:19:59.200 --> 0:20:01.760
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the pan demic, how things were really cool.

0:20:01.880 --> 0:20:05.600
<v Speaker 1>They were organized with the girls. They would just have

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.679
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of a little fun things and watercolor paintings,

0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:11.359
<v Speaker 1>and they learned how to play spades. But then she said,

0:20:11.400 --> 0:20:14.520
<v Speaker 1>things went left, and now towards the end of the pandemic,

0:20:14.680 --> 0:20:16.679
<v Speaker 1>everybody's kind of sick, and the kids are sick of

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:18.920
<v Speaker 1>being around them. Listen to this. We've kind of had

0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 1>phases of COVID. There was sort of the early stages

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.960
<v Speaker 1>where we were all excited to be together and we

0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:29.040
<v Speaker 1>were being all organized. That went away, and it started

0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:31.640
<v Speaker 1>as the first our kids down a little sick of us.

0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:33.680
<v Speaker 1>I will say, in the beginning of this, I was

0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot more gung ho about being productive about things

0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:41.359
<v Speaker 1>in my home. And since then things have fallen apart.

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.600
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:46.880
<v Speaker 1>rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when

0:20:46.880 --> 0:20:48.840
<v Speaker 1>we come back front page news. What we're talking about,

0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what we're talking about. We got to talk

0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:54.240
<v Speaker 1>more about, Brianna Taylor. I want to discuss this verdict

0:20:54.240 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>that came down and you know, just people being really

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>disappointed and what's happening in Louisville and what's happening all

0:21:01.320 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 1>over the United States. They were protests here in Brooklyn

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:08.520
<v Speaker 1>yesterday that we're at the Barclays and we'll discuss the aftermath.

0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.200

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.000
<v Speaker 1>the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:43.520
<v Speaker 1>some front page news. The last night it sports the

0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.000
<v Speaker 1>heat beat of the Celtics. They lead the series three

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.280
<v Speaker 1>one one one twelve, one oh nine. Let's get right

0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.159
<v Speaker 1>into it easy. Yes. Brianna Taylor, Kentucky Grand Jerry and

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.760
<v Speaker 1>died in former Louisville police officer Brett Higginson, but there

0:21:55.760 --> 0:21:58.720
<v Speaker 1>were no charges brought up on the other two officers

0:21:59.119 --> 0:22:03.679
<v Speaker 1>involved in the encounter that killed Brianna Taylor. So the

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:08.760
<v Speaker 1>charges against Hankinson are basically he's facing a maximum of

0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:13.280
<v Speaker 1>five years in jail, and it specifically states that, under

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:17.280
<v Speaker 1>circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, he wantonly shot

0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>a gun into the apartment. So this has nothing to

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:22.520
<v Speaker 1>do with Brianna Taylor getting killed. This has to do

0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.720
<v Speaker 1>with him shooting and the bullets penetrating a wall of

0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 1>the residents entering a neighboring apartment that occupied. So not

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>even the person who was killed in her own home

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>while she was sleeping in bed. These charges are for

0:22:35.359 --> 0:22:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a neighboring apartment where no one was injured. That's crazy,

0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:44.399
<v Speaker 1>all right. Now, Let's listen to the Kentucky Attorney General

0:22:45.119 --> 0:22:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Cameron is talking about these charges in talking about homicide

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.000
<v Speaker 1>being considered. Did the prenury ever consider the charges of

0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:56.960
<v Speaker 1>manslaughter reckless homicide? I will get into the specifics again

0:22:57.000 --> 0:22:59.760
<v Speaker 1>of the proceedings themselves are secret, but what I will

0:22:59.760 --> 0:23:04.360
<v Speaker 1>say is that our team walked in through every homicide offense,

0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>and it also presented all of the information that was

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 1>available to the grand jury, and then the grand jury

0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>was ultimately the one that made the decision about indicting

0:23:16.200 --> 0:23:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Detective Hankinson. I don't see how you don't at least

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>get a manslaughter charge, Like like doctors commitmental practice. There's

0:23:23.240 --> 0:23:26.640
<v Speaker 1>consequences I say something on this radio, you know, even

0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:28.520
<v Speaker 1>if it's by accident that I didn't mean to, there's

0:23:28.520 --> 0:23:32.280
<v Speaker 1>consequences to it. Like how is there no consequences killing

0:23:32.280 --> 0:23:38.159
<v Speaker 1>a young woman in her apartment while she's sleeping. Of course,

0:23:38.200 --> 0:23:42.399
<v Speaker 1>once this happened, there was a protests across the United States,

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 1>and in Louisville there were actually two police officers who

0:23:46.520 --> 0:23:49.440
<v Speaker 1>were shot during the protests. Shortly before the curfew began,

0:23:50.000 --> 0:23:53.040
<v Speaker 1>there were reports of gunfire near one of the marches.

0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Two of the responding officers were shot. They have non

0:23:55.440 --> 0:24:01.000
<v Speaker 1>life threatening wounds, and there is a suspect in custody.

0:24:01.680 --> 0:24:03.560
<v Speaker 1>The way that a lot of people feel right now,

0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>they should be happy that it's not more. And what

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.399
<v Speaker 1>do you expect, seriously, like, you know, if there's if

0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.239
<v Speaker 1>there's no if there's no order, you know, what I mean,

0:24:12.280 --> 0:24:15.119
<v Speaker 1>because people don't feel like there's getting getting justice. That's

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:18.399
<v Speaker 1>the justice system fault, the so called justices. Yeah, but

0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we can't. People can't run around to start shooting random people.

0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:24.000
<v Speaker 1>That's the whole point. People and people. That's what we're

0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:25.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to tell. The political that's what that's what we're

0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to tell the police officers point. But we just

0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.439
<v Speaker 1>can't start shooting random people back all right, listen, I

0:24:32.480 --> 0:24:35.160
<v Speaker 1>agree with you, but what do you expect, Like, I mean, seriously,

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.200
<v Speaker 1>how do you keep putting this kind of energy y'all

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 1>keep not giving people justice and then expect people not

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 1>to be upset. I'm not gonna tell somebody how they

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 1>should express their pain. People are hurt. Hurt, people hurt people,

0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 1>People are upset, people are angry, people are venting, people

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 1>are frustrated. People the end of day wrote now. Donald

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.679
<v Speaker 1>Trump tweeted out praying for the two police officers that

0:24:56.720 --> 0:24:59.880
<v Speaker 1>were shot tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. The federal government stan

0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 1>behind you and it is ready to help. And then

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:05.520
<v Speaker 1>he also said law and order, but he didn't say

0:25:05.520 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>nothing about prays to the family of or nothing, you

0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:11.880
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like Come on, man, nobody needs

0:25:11.920 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to be hurting anybody at a time like this, all

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>right now. Donald Trump also was questioned during a press

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:21.760
<v Speaker 1>conference yesterday about whether he will leave the White House

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:24.879
<v Speaker 1>peacefully if he loses the election, and here's what happened.

0:25:25.240 --> 0:25:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Will you commit to making sure that there is a

0:25:27.280 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 1>peaceful transfer poll of power after the election? Cool, We're

0:25:30.760 --> 0:25:32.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to see what happens. You know that I've

0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 1>been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>or a disaster and that, but people are rioting. Do

0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:43.320
<v Speaker 1>you commit to making sure that there's a peaceful want

0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:44.960
<v Speaker 1>to get rid of the ballots and you'll have a

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.600
<v Speaker 1>very trans We'll have a very peaceful there won't be

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a transfer. Frankly, there'll be a continuation. I mean, I've

0:25:51.600 --> 0:25:53.640
<v Speaker 1>been telling y'all. I've been telling y'all on his radio

0:25:53.680 --> 0:25:55.400
<v Speaker 1>for about a year and a half that the fastest

0:25:55.440 --> 0:25:57.440
<v Speaker 1>in the White House was not leaving that man. Who's

0:25:57.440 --> 0:26:00.639
<v Speaker 1>going to retain power through voter suppression. They're going to voters,

0:26:00.720 --> 0:26:03.440
<v Speaker 1>especially in inner cities. They're gonna suppress mail in voting.

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 1>You already see them suppressing registration roles. They're gonna limit

0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:09.560
<v Speaker 1>physical polling locations, especially in areas with a high black population.

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:12.240
<v Speaker 1>The man is telling you he's not leaving peacefully, and

0:26:12.320 --> 0:26:15.360
<v Speaker 1>he's telling you just throw away the absentee ballots, don't

0:26:15.400 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>count the ballots, that we won't have to worry about

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:20.480
<v Speaker 1>whether or not there'll be a peaceful transition of power.

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.119
<v Speaker 1>By the way, he benefits from the chaos, all of

0:26:23.119 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>this recklessness in the screech right now, everything out of order.

0:26:26.680 --> 0:26:28.439
<v Speaker 1>Now he can really say, oh, I'm the law nor

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:30.640
<v Speaker 1>the president. I'm going to maintain order. Now. You actually

0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:34.680
<v Speaker 1>caused the chaos by not giving Americans what they deserve,

0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 1>which is justice in a situation like Brianna Taylor. But

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.520
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna benefit from it because now they're gonna run

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 1>these images on Fox News over and over and over.

0:26:43.080 --> 0:26:45.560
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna be in Donald Trump added Donald Trump commercial

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.359
<v Speaker 1>saying oh, this is Joe Biden's America. No, this is

0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:51.119
<v Speaker 1>just America, period, and it's gonna be America. As long

0:26:51.160 --> 0:26:54.040
<v Speaker 1>as this crooked system is in place. He doesn't need

0:26:54.080 --> 0:26:56.880
<v Speaker 1>to be reformed, it needs to be overhauled. Since Ruth

0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>Bader Ginsburg died, they said there was a surge in

0:26:59.280 --> 0:27:03.880
<v Speaker 1>voter register. They said that vote dot org saw more

0:27:03.880 --> 0:27:07.080
<v Speaker 1>than forty thousand new voter registrations on Saturday and Satnday,

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:09.840
<v Speaker 1>which is a sixty eight percent increase from the prior weekend.

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:15.760
<v Speaker 1>That's good. Once again, I really don't understand how you

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.280
<v Speaker 1>how you use this situation to tell people to vote,

0:27:18.320 --> 0:27:21.320
<v Speaker 1>because these type of injustices happen under Democrats too, doesn't

0:27:21.320 --> 0:27:24.399
<v Speaker 1>matter who's in office locally. Naturally, we've been watching police

0:27:24.400 --> 0:27:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and damn there everybody else get away with these type

0:27:26.359 --> 0:27:29.680
<v Speaker 1>of injustice towards the black people forever. So you got

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to explain to me how voting is going to change.

0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.960
<v Speaker 1>In most places, you vote for your attorney general, and

0:27:35.040 --> 0:27:38.040
<v Speaker 1>you vote for local officials, and then you have to

0:27:38.040 --> 0:27:41.000
<v Speaker 1>hold them accountable. It's not just voting but also being involved.

0:27:41.480 --> 0:27:44.800
<v Speaker 1>And so it is important who you vote for, hopefully

0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:47.480
<v Speaker 1>your governor, who might appoint the attorney general in some states.

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Some states you vote for your attorney general. So it

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is important to make sure you tell people to vote

0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>because who you want to represent you and I'm not

0:27:55.359 --> 0:27:57.280
<v Speaker 1>saying that that person has to be a Democrat or

0:27:57.280 --> 0:27:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a Republican, but at least know who you're voting for

0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and who has your edge. Absolutely, yeah, we should an

0:28:02.160 --> 0:28:04.000
<v Speaker 1>register vote and people should be voting, not just for

0:28:04.040 --> 0:28:07.040
<v Speaker 1>the presidency, like you said, for all places, for mayors,

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:10.879
<v Speaker 1>for district attorneys for like, yeah, absolutely, we should be so.

0:28:11.280 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Throughout the history of America, how can we always see

0:28:13.560 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>this this this type of scenario played out over and

0:28:15.960 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>over and over and over again. A lot of times,

0:28:18.280 --> 0:28:20.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think don't vote. A lot of we do

0:28:20.600 --> 0:28:22.720
<v Speaker 1>need more people to register to vote and to participate

0:28:22.760 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 1>in the process. And we also need more people to

0:28:24.920 --> 0:28:27.680
<v Speaker 1>be encouraged to run for these offices. A lot of

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:30.040
<v Speaker 1>times you don't even know who's our local offices, Like like,

0:28:30.119 --> 0:28:31.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, be honest, a lot of times we don't

0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:33.640
<v Speaker 1>know who's in our local offices, you know. I mean

0:28:33.640 --> 0:28:35.520
<v Speaker 1>we need to start we need to start doing ours.

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>And I think we need people that are in these

0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:40.880
<v Speaker 1>local offices that are willing to overhaul the system, not

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:43.040
<v Speaker 1>reform it, because this system is not for us. When

0:28:43.040 --> 0:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>they do when when they defined justice for all, black

0:28:45.840 --> 0:28:49.200
<v Speaker 1>people were not included. And that's why encourage people to

0:28:49.280 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>run for office. And if you know somebody who you

0:28:51.560 --> 0:28:54.560
<v Speaker 1>think would being an incredible mayor or chief of a

0:28:54.640 --> 0:28:57.800
<v Speaker 1>city police Department, encourage them to run for our office.

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Let them know that you'll support them and strategize. It's

0:29:01.160 --> 0:29:03.800
<v Speaker 1>not just always the processes. These are our candidates, but

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe you know people who you think that person would

0:29:06.200 --> 0:29:09.440
<v Speaker 1>be a great candidate. Be involved. All right, a lot

0:29:09.480 --> 0:29:11.640
<v Speaker 1>of your front page news. Now when we come back,

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.680

<v Speaker 1>What's up, Mike, man, I'm you know, reading this book.

0:29:54.000 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm like you've really come a long way I have.

0:29:57.840 --> 0:29:59.560
<v Speaker 1>I had to. You know, people are gonna look at

0:29:59.600 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of transgressions that I had in my life,

0:30:01.480 --> 0:30:04.600
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully they look at the transformation the things I

0:30:04.600 --> 0:30:07.520
<v Speaker 1>went through in my life, seeing domestic violence, growing up,

0:30:07.600 --> 0:30:13.520
<v Speaker 1>finding out that my stepfather was a contracted killer, going

0:30:13.560 --> 0:30:15.600
<v Speaker 1>through my marriages and all this stuff that I went

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:18.120
<v Speaker 1>through when I was at ESPN Fast Sports. That led

0:30:18.160 --> 0:30:19.960
<v Speaker 1>me to actually where I am right now when it

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to being involved with the lady on with right now.

0:30:22.880 --> 0:30:24.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's been a journey, but I'm happy I took

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that journey in Alabama. Correct. Yeah, I was born in

0:30:30.160 --> 0:30:32.280
<v Speaker 1>the Bronx. I'm always going to be a New York dude,

0:30:32.320 --> 0:30:34.840
<v Speaker 1>but Alabama was where my roots are. You know, that's

0:30:34.840 --> 0:30:37.160
<v Speaker 1>where my former two years of my life. So I

0:30:37.200 --> 0:30:40.120
<v Speaker 1>called myself a kind of a country boy, kind of

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 1>like Charlemagne and Monk's Corner down in South Carolina, the

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:46.440
<v Speaker 1>same kind of background and whatnot. But you know, it

0:30:46.480 --> 0:30:48.800
<v Speaker 1>was it was. It was kind of crazy for me

0:30:48.880 --> 0:30:50.959
<v Speaker 1>because you know, people think you grew up in the Bronx,

0:30:51.120 --> 0:30:53.440
<v Speaker 1>that's where you're going to find a lot of trouble whatnot.

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.760
<v Speaker 1>But I found more trouble when I was in Alabama,

0:30:55.800 --> 0:30:57.760
<v Speaker 1>because you gotta understand, when I grew up down there,

0:30:58.120 --> 0:31:00.160
<v Speaker 1>it was the start of the crack era, and so

0:31:00.320 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the country boys down there was doing

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of crazy stuff, and a lot of my

0:31:03.640 --> 0:31:05.840
<v Speaker 1>friends got caught up in a lot of the drugs whatnot.

0:31:06.160 --> 0:31:07.920
<v Speaker 1>One of my best friends got killed in the drive

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>by shooting. One of my other friends was you know,

0:31:10.720 --> 0:31:13.200
<v Speaker 1>on roeryp In twenty seven years of his life in

0:31:13.280 --> 0:31:15.320
<v Speaker 1>prison and all that type of stuff. So a lot

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 1>of the things that they grew up with I grew

0:31:17.680 --> 0:31:20.320
<v Speaker 1>up with. I just had some of the better decisions.

0:31:20.320 --> 0:31:21.920
<v Speaker 1>I had some people in my life to kind of

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:23.640
<v Speaker 1>put me on the right track. Or I could have

0:31:23.680 --> 0:31:25.480
<v Speaker 1>been doing the same thing that they're doing right now

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>or what they were doing. You know, Mike, you did

0:31:28.200 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 1>something that I did, and I think all men eventually

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>have to be intentional about doing. You went and you

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 1>you started doing the work on yourself to get some

0:31:36.560 --> 0:31:40.080
<v Speaker 1>healing and some wholeness. When were you able to identify

0:31:40.160 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that you had traumas you needed to deal with and

0:31:42.800 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and and that you needed to go get help. You know,

0:31:45.520 --> 0:31:47.720
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy, is it wasn't until I actually started writing

0:31:47.720 --> 0:31:49.800
<v Speaker 1>this book. This book was my therapy. I didn't even

0:31:49.800 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 1>realize that I had so many traumas and pains and

0:31:52.440 --> 0:31:55.600
<v Speaker 1>anger and depression that was built up inside me until

0:31:55.640 --> 0:31:57.800
<v Speaker 1>I started writing this book. Then it became my therapy.

0:31:57.960 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I just know that at the age of forty seven,

0:31:59.800 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 1>when I started writing this book, that I see him

0:32:02.480 --> 0:32:04.720
<v Speaker 1>on the outside that I was happy. I was living

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>a great life. My job was wonderful, you know. I

0:32:06.960 --> 0:32:09.480
<v Speaker 1>was telling everybody I was happy, the happies I had

0:32:09.480 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>ever been in my life, professionally and personally. But I

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 1>would find myself at home just crying uncontrollably for no

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:17.840
<v Speaker 1>reason whatsoever. I'd be on the road with the clippers

0:32:17.840 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>when I was working with them, and I would just have,

0:32:19.840 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, just tears was coming out of my eyes

0:32:22.040 --> 0:32:24.400
<v Speaker 1>for whatever reason. And something told me I needed to

0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>write this book. So when I started writing this book,

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.080
<v Speaker 1>it felt like I was regurgitating. It just felt like

0:32:29.120 --> 0:32:31.520
<v Speaker 1>everything started coming out of me at once, and I

0:32:31.640 --> 0:32:34.960
<v Speaker 1>realized that I had all this stuff, all this trauma

0:32:35.000 --> 0:32:37.360
<v Speaker 1>and all this pain that I had suppressed for so

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>many years. And I think that's what we do as

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>black men, you know, we suppressed those the anger and

0:32:42.960 --> 0:32:44.800
<v Speaker 1>all that depression and all that pain, and I had

0:32:44.800 --> 0:32:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to let it go. When I finally was able to

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>let it go, I always called that like my surgery.

0:32:49.080 --> 0:32:50.800
<v Speaker 1>And when I had the surgery, of course, you know

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:52.480
<v Speaker 1>how it is that I got to be real abilitation

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:54.440
<v Speaker 1>after the surgery, and that was when my therapy came in.

0:32:54.520 --> 0:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>So I realized that, you know, for forty seven years,

0:32:57.280 --> 0:32:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I was a boy acting like a man, and it

0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't until I actually wrote this book that I stepped

0:33:01.600 --> 0:33:04.800
<v Speaker 1>into my manhood. And now I'm still kind of continuing

0:33:04.840 --> 0:33:08.160
<v Speaker 1>that journey. Yeah, it's interesting when you put everything together

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.239
<v Speaker 1>all at once because obviously, you know, as long as

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you've been on this earth, we're reading this book, and

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:16.240
<v Speaker 1>then we're going through all these experiences that you went through.

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, you're joined the military, which that was something

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:23.160
<v Speaker 1>about you. I didn't even know, you know, prior to

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:26.480
<v Speaker 1>meeting you, and that's quite an experience already. And then

0:33:26.600 --> 0:33:28.920
<v Speaker 1>you got married at a pretty young age, just and

0:33:29.000 --> 0:33:33.000
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of for selfish reasons, right, Yeah, everything

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:35.120
<v Speaker 1>was for selfish reasons for me growing up, you know,

0:33:35.200 --> 0:33:37.080
<v Speaker 1>like I didn't know I didn't have any male role

0:33:37.080 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 1>models in my life. I didn't know how I lived

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:40.080
<v Speaker 1>my life. I just had to kind of go day

0:33:40.120 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 1>by day seeing other people doing what they were doing,

0:33:42.840 --> 0:33:44.560
<v Speaker 1>and I figured out they could do it, I could

0:33:44.560 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 1>do it somebody at my age whatnot. And then getting

0:33:47.200 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 1>married at an early age because I saw one of

0:33:49.080 --> 0:33:51.040
<v Speaker 1>my best friends in the military who was married with

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a kid and he was making more money. So all

0:33:53.200 --> 0:33:55.240
<v Speaker 1>the other stuff that I went through, it was because

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw other people doing or whatnot, and I didn't

0:33:57.800 --> 0:34:01.320
<v Speaker 1>have the right people in my life. Page basically kind

0:34:01.320 --> 0:34:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of guide me along the way, giving me that guidance

0:34:03.600 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 1>that I need. And that's why I wanted to put

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:07.920
<v Speaker 1>this out there, because if you can find yourself a

0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>positive male role model or just a positive role model period,

0:34:11.800 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 1>somebody that can take you under their wings would not

0:34:14.360 --> 0:34:16.360
<v Speaker 1>give you the direction to give you some of the

0:34:16.360 --> 0:34:18.520
<v Speaker 1>advice that I never received when I was younger. I

0:34:18.560 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 1>hope that you can understand and look at my life

0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and say, you know what he made some of the

0:34:23.200 --> 0:34:25.640
<v Speaker 1>mistakes that I'm still making right now, and I can

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 1>go and get the health and the therapy of Charlemagne

0:34:27.640 --> 0:34:29.360
<v Speaker 1>we was talking about that I need, so that you

0:34:29.400 --> 0:34:32.120
<v Speaker 1>can turn your life around at an earlier age and

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:34.919
<v Speaker 1>stop affecting your life, because when you affect your life,

0:34:34.920 --> 0:34:37.399
<v Speaker 1>you also affect the others around you too. And that's

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>what people don't realize, is that you're not only hurting yourself,

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:42.319
<v Speaker 1>but you're hurting a lot of the other trips that

0:34:42.400 --> 0:34:47.160
<v Speaker 1>are living. Yep, a contract and your stepdad was a

0:34:47.200 --> 0:34:49.920
<v Speaker 1>contract to kill them. Yeah, yeah, I found How did

0:34:49.920 --> 0:34:52.520
<v Speaker 1>you find that out? Yeah? I found that out when

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:54.919
<v Speaker 1>I came back from the military. I was just saying

0:34:54.920 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>it out with him. I knew we had done some

0:34:56.719 --> 0:34:59.600
<v Speaker 1>things in the past whatnot. Obviously when I was in

0:34:59.600 --> 0:35:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the middle of here, there was a story I wrote

0:35:01.640 --> 0:35:03.400
<v Speaker 1>about when I got a call when I was in

0:35:03.440 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the Philippines and he got he had killed somebody and

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:08.919
<v Speaker 1>they came and raided at the house. Whatever. I'maware around

0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:10.799
<v Speaker 1>the world, I can't do anything about it whatnot. He

0:35:10.840 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 1>got off on that because of self defense, so they say,

0:35:14.320 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 1>but everybody kind of know what the real story was,

0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:18.239
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you. And then when I got home,

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.759
<v Speaker 1>he was kind of at his lower's point, and my

0:35:20.840 --> 0:35:23.080
<v Speaker 1>mom had left him, and I'm sitting on the porch

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:25.200
<v Speaker 1>and I'm basically trying to save this man, and I'm

0:35:25.239 --> 0:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>talking to him and he's telling me all the things

0:35:27.360 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 1>that he had done, and he just basically kind of

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:31.759
<v Speaker 1>infested and then followed up talking to a lot of

0:35:31.800 --> 0:35:34.200
<v Speaker 1>his friends whatever. I found out all that type of

0:35:34.200 --> 0:35:36.680
<v Speaker 1>stuff was true. But you know, even my dad, my stepdad,

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to kind of come down on him

0:35:38.280 --> 0:35:40.160
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. He was a loving man, cared about me.

0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:42.799
<v Speaker 1>He took me. I got his last name because he

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:44.960
<v Speaker 1>adopted me when I was fifteen years old, and he

0:35:45.000 --> 0:35:47.279
<v Speaker 1>loved me. He just had issues. So this is the

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 1>main things I want to get people to understand about

0:35:49.600 --> 0:35:53.399
<v Speaker 1>this book is that we as black men need help

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and we can't be afraid to ask for that help.

0:35:56.320 --> 0:35:58.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's okay to the emotion when so kay

0:35:58.320 --> 0:36:00.400
<v Speaker 1>To cries, It's okay to say, you know what, my

0:36:00.480 --> 0:36:03.320
<v Speaker 1>life right now ain't it ain't. It ain't going to

0:36:03.320 --> 0:36:05.960
<v Speaker 1>where it's supposed to go. So I need somebody to

0:36:06.480 --> 0:36:09.719
<v Speaker 1>reach out to and understand, and somebody to reach back

0:36:09.719 --> 0:36:11.799
<v Speaker 1>to me to give me the help that I needed.

0:36:11.880 --> 0:36:13.920
<v Speaker 1>So I wish that my father would have gotten the

0:36:13.960 --> 0:36:16.480
<v Speaker 1>help that he needed at an earlier age. Somebody would

0:36:16.480 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>have pulled him in and basically told him, you know what,

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.239
<v Speaker 1>the path you're going down right now isn't gonna lead

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:25.359
<v Speaker 1>you anywhere. It's gonna lead you to devastation, destruction. You're

0:36:25.360 --> 0:36:27.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna hurt a lot of people around you, just like

0:36:27.320 --> 0:36:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he did. And maybe he would have worked out okay,

0:36:30.719 --> 0:36:33.200
<v Speaker 1>but unfortunately it didn't because he spent the last nine

0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:35.359
<v Speaker 1>years of his life in prison for murder for hire.

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 1>And you'll see why. And it was a terrible story

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:38.799
<v Speaker 1>why he did that too as well. All right, we

0:36:38.800 --> 0:36:41.000
<v Speaker 1>got more with Mike Hill when we come back, don't move.

0:36:41.000 --> 0:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ

0:36:45.320 --> 0:36:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all to Breakfast Club.

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>We're kicking him with Mike kill. Charlemagne, did you receive

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:53.880
<v Speaker 1>any backlash from anybody when you decided to go to therapy?

0:36:53.920 --> 0:36:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Because you know, every if you if you go on

0:36:55.960 --> 0:36:58.160
<v Speaker 1>YouTube right now, you see it's all Charlomagne talks about

0:36:58.160 --> 0:37:00.399
<v Speaker 1>his mental health and going to therapy. Every thing isn't

0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 1>about therapy. You know, I don't give, I don't care,

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I mean, it's my life, you know, And

0:37:05.760 --> 0:37:07.880
<v Speaker 1>y'all understand ch'arallo man I got I got to be

0:37:07.920 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 1>honest with you. Reading your book actually helped me out

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:12.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot too, because when I see you use your

0:37:12.600 --> 0:37:15.560
<v Speaker 1>platform and basically admit that you had some mental health

0:37:15.600 --> 0:37:18.120
<v Speaker 1>issues or whatnot, and that you aren't afraid to go

0:37:18.160 --> 0:37:20.680
<v Speaker 1>and get the help that you needed, that was huge

0:37:20.680 --> 0:37:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to use your platform that way. And I encourage anybody

0:37:23.360 --> 0:37:25.200
<v Speaker 1>with a platform, don't care if you got ten followers,

0:37:25.280 --> 0:37:27.520
<v Speaker 1>you got ten million followers. If you know you need

0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:29.280
<v Speaker 1>some kind of health in any kind of way, please

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>ask for so the people that do come out and

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:33.920
<v Speaker 1>basically say, you know, oh you emotional when you're crying,

0:37:33.960 --> 0:37:35.920
<v Speaker 1>you you know, calling your little names what I want

0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:37.920
<v Speaker 1>to call you, whatever, I don't care. I'm at a

0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>point in my life where my mind, my life, and

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:42.919
<v Speaker 1>the people around me matter more than anything in the world.

0:37:43.000 --> 0:37:45.279
<v Speaker 1>So if you don't want to get the help that

0:37:45.360 --> 0:37:46.719
<v Speaker 1>you need and you want to kind of dog me

0:37:46.760 --> 0:37:48.600
<v Speaker 1>out for it, I pray for you, and I pray

0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:50.520
<v Speaker 1>that you get the help, because I think when you

0:37:50.640 --> 0:37:52.880
<v Speaker 1>do do things like that, when you troll or you

0:37:53.239 --> 0:37:55.640
<v Speaker 1>trying to throw some kind of hate or disparaging remarks,

0:37:55.640 --> 0:37:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that somebody that's trying to get mental health. Those are

0:37:58.000 --> 0:38:00.840
<v Speaker 1>the main ones that actually needed. So are here to

0:38:00.840 --> 0:38:03.240
<v Speaker 1>help you out. I'm here to make you a better person.

0:38:03.280 --> 0:38:05.680
<v Speaker 1>So all I can do is use my platform and

0:38:06.280 --> 0:38:09.279
<v Speaker 1>use whatever NOTORID y'all have to basically set myself as

0:38:09.320 --> 0:38:12.359
<v Speaker 1>an example and hopefully somebody can follow suit. Now, Mike,

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I got to ask you a couple of questions because

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:18.319
<v Speaker 1>you were very transparent about some things in this book. Okay, So,

0:38:18.360 --> 0:38:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and I know that wasn't easy because there's some stories

0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:24.439
<v Speaker 1>that you told that I'm like, wow, so there's something

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:27.120
<v Speaker 1>in here that you said because you said when somebody

0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>asked you doing a Q and A, maybe you'll answer

0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:32.239
<v Speaker 1>that question. So let's ask you that question right now.

0:38:32.840 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 1>There was an incident with your ex wife, Camille, where

0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:38.759
<v Speaker 1>you stayed out all night. She was trying to call you,

0:38:38.760 --> 0:38:40.840
<v Speaker 1>and you told her you were in the hospital. You

0:38:40.920 --> 0:38:43.000
<v Speaker 1>know how men lie, Either they're in the hospital or

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.719
<v Speaker 1>they got arrested. That's how they excuse things. And she

0:38:47.280 --> 0:38:50.560
<v Speaker 1>couldn't reach you. You actually because you told her that

0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:53.960
<v Speaker 1>you actually checked into the hospital and intended to have

0:38:54.520 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>an asthma attack. And then you fax there's some proof

0:38:57.040 --> 0:38:59.720
<v Speaker 1>over but you had to change the time and everything

0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>that you checked in. Now you said, I bet you

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:04.000
<v Speaker 1>want to know where I really was. Maybe I'll answer

0:39:04.040 --> 0:39:05.480
<v Speaker 1>this as part of a Q and A after the

0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.239
<v Speaker 1>book comes out, if someone brings it up, but we're

0:39:07.280 --> 0:39:09.680
<v Speaker 1>bringing it up here. Where were you that night when

0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you told your ex that you were in the hospital. Yeah,

0:39:12.719 --> 0:39:14.800
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to be my girl. Man, I've been loving

0:39:15.600 --> 0:39:18.480
<v Speaker 1>That's okay, I get it. I'm glad you read that part.

0:39:18.560 --> 0:39:21.040
<v Speaker 1>You know. And this was before we were actually married,

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 1>So I was actually still technically single, but you know, um, yeah,

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:28.239
<v Speaker 1>but in a relationship. Oh yeah, I was across the

0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.959
<v Speaker 1>street hanging out with somebody I shouldn't have been hanging

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:32.719
<v Speaker 1>out with whatnot. And when I got back home, my

0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.319
<v Speaker 1>phone was ringing off the hook. My ex was like

0:39:35.320 --> 0:39:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a detective. She was one of those women like if

0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:39.719
<v Speaker 1>you were missing for like five minutes, she was gonna

0:39:39.719 --> 0:39:41.759
<v Speaker 1>call you or whatever. And when I got back home,

0:39:41.800 --> 0:39:45.080
<v Speaker 1>I had like twelve missed calls and thirteen messages. To

0:39:45.120 --> 0:39:47.799
<v Speaker 1>be quite honest with you, so I was, Yeah, I

0:39:47.880 --> 0:39:50.280
<v Speaker 1>was doing dirt. I was doing a lot. But because

0:39:50.320 --> 0:39:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I liked her enough and we had gotten that deep

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:56.280
<v Speaker 1>into the relationship. I went to the extent of acting

0:39:56.320 --> 0:39:58.799
<v Speaker 1>like I was thick, which once again I am not

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:03.560
<v Speaker 1>proud of acting like acting like I was in the hospital,

0:40:03.600 --> 0:40:05.520
<v Speaker 1>like I had just gone to the hospital or whatever,

0:40:05.560 --> 0:40:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and that I had to go to the emergency room.

0:40:07.000 --> 0:40:10.120
<v Speaker 1>And she said, prove it, so you had to go.

0:40:11.280 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 1>It's how you know you really care? That is that

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:16.239
<v Speaker 1>effective when a woman is on you like that, when

0:40:16.280 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you know that you had a tendency you know previously

0:40:19.800 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to stray right? Does that work when women are constantly

0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:25.399
<v Speaker 1>on you? And like, havn't you check in? You think

0:40:25.400 --> 0:40:28.880
<v Speaker 1>that's an effective way? Nah? It not for me. It

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.439
<v Speaker 1>because the person i'm were right now and like I've

0:40:31.480 --> 0:40:33.200
<v Speaker 1>gotten past all that stuff that I used to do

0:40:33.200 --> 0:40:37.280
<v Speaker 1>them my life. That's Cynthia. Yes, Cynthia and I finally

0:40:37.320 --> 0:40:39.120
<v Speaker 1>settled down, and I'm I want to do it the

0:40:39.200 --> 0:40:41.320
<v Speaker 1>right way. Like I said, I stepped into my manhood.

0:40:41.680 --> 0:40:44.280
<v Speaker 1>But for me, when I want to do right and

0:40:44.560 --> 0:40:47.080
<v Speaker 1>when I've told you about my pasts, like obviously everybody

0:40:47.080 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>knows about my past, and I just want you to

0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:51.000
<v Speaker 1>give me an opportunity. I don't need you on top

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:52.960
<v Speaker 1>of me all the time, you know, basically, telling me,

0:40:53.080 --> 0:40:56.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, or asking where I am whatnot, checking my DMS,

0:40:56.320 --> 0:40:58.799
<v Speaker 1>checking my phone and things like that. I think for me,

0:40:58.880 --> 0:41:01.400
<v Speaker 1>for my personality, I think that pushes me away. I

0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:03.719
<v Speaker 1>can understand why somebody would do it. But if you

0:41:03.800 --> 0:41:06.279
<v Speaker 1>say you trust me, trust me, you know what I mean,

0:41:06.360 --> 0:41:09.840
<v Speaker 1>give me an opportunity to prove that I'm doing something wrong.

0:41:10.160 --> 0:41:13.239
<v Speaker 1>Now if you give you a reason for you not

0:41:13.280 --> 0:41:15.960
<v Speaker 1>to trust me, then I understand being on probation or

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.360
<v Speaker 1>being checked up on. But you know, I need a wife.

0:41:18.440 --> 0:41:20.239
<v Speaker 1>I need somebody that's gonna be with me. I don't

0:41:20.280 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 1>need a CEO. I don't need I don't need a

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:24.680
<v Speaker 1>correction officer. I don't need that, you know so. And

0:41:24.719 --> 0:41:27.319
<v Speaker 1>I definitely don't need a parole officer because you know what,

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I've never gone to your prison, you know what I mean.

0:41:29.480 --> 0:41:31.919
<v Speaker 1>So I'm coming out. I'm not on probation for you.

0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.480
<v Speaker 1>We're supposed to being in a relationship. Just trust me

0:41:34.560 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>like you said you are. I'm not gonna lie. I

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:38.200
<v Speaker 1>think I kind of need to see you just a

0:41:38.200 --> 0:41:41.279
<v Speaker 1>little bit, you know what I'm saying. Little, I don't

0:41:41.280 --> 0:41:43.600
<v Speaker 1>need a little bit of direction, that's all. That's it.

0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Nothing crazy. Well, if you know that, I mean, but

0:41:46.280 --> 0:41:48.440
<v Speaker 1>it is. If you know that, that's that's cool. You know,

0:41:48.480 --> 0:41:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I understanding. You know, if you got a woman that's

0:41:50.160 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, doesn't mind checking up on you and your

0:41:52.080 --> 0:41:54.879
<v Speaker 1>mind showing her where you've been, that's fine. But here's

0:41:54.880 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the thing. What I've learned also is that it is

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.880
<v Speaker 1>also our job to make sure that they are secure.

0:42:01.239 --> 0:42:03.040
<v Speaker 1>So if I don't want to feel like that, Bob

0:42:03.160 --> 0:42:05.319
<v Speaker 1>or ten minutes or whatnot, I am the type of

0:42:05.360 --> 0:42:07.600
<v Speaker 1>person that you know what, let me get on the phone.

0:42:07.680 --> 0:42:09.719
<v Speaker 1>If I'm hanging out with there's a woman with me,

0:42:09.760 --> 0:42:12.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna FaceTime my girl and let her know who

0:42:12.480 --> 0:42:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm hanging out with, how many people I'm hanging out with,

0:42:15.080 --> 0:42:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and I don't leave out details. That's the growth that

0:42:17.640 --> 0:42:19.440
<v Speaker 1>I've had over the years. Now. Like that said, I

0:42:19.520 --> 0:42:21.520
<v Speaker 1>was doing my dirt back in the day, the infidelities

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:23.719
<v Speaker 1>or whatever. I admit all that. You know, that's just

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, me drawing up. But at the same time,

0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'll come a long way and now I want to

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:30.600
<v Speaker 1>make my girl secure as possible. Yeah, we don't want

0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:32.200
<v Speaker 1>to feel we don't want to feel that way. We

0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:34.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want to feel like I gotta chat, make sure

0:42:34.520 --> 0:42:36.440
<v Speaker 1>he checks in. Where is he. I don't want to

0:42:36.440 --> 0:42:38.400
<v Speaker 1>call my man and be like, Okay, he's not answering

0:42:38.440 --> 0:42:40.239
<v Speaker 1>the phone. He must be doing something. I want to

0:42:40.239 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 1>call him. And if he doesn't answer, but hey, hit

0:42:42.000 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>me when you get this and feel comfortable. Yeah. But

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:46.239
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, if I'm at work, or if

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:47.799
<v Speaker 1>I tell you I'm on an interview and I don't

0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.280
<v Speaker 1>answer the phone right away because I'm on the air,

0:42:50.320 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing television, I'm doing a radio show, and you

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:54.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of know that, and you're blowing me up, and

0:42:54.680 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you blow me up five or six times, and I

0:42:56.320 --> 0:42:58.880
<v Speaker 1>finally answering the first thing. You say, what f you've been? What?

0:42:59.200 --> 0:43:03.920
<v Speaker 1>You know? React tota way because you know what, I'm

0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.480
<v Speaker 1>doing my job. I'm not doing somebody else. So you

0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:08.839
<v Speaker 1>got to give me a little bit of leeway. That's all,

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:11.319
<v Speaker 1>you know. Men, we don't even know our habits. Man.

0:43:11.360 --> 0:43:12.719
<v Speaker 1>I remember back in the day when I used to

0:43:12.800 --> 0:43:14.839
<v Speaker 1>be used to have my in the dirt. My wife

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 1>would always say to me, when I know you're when

0:43:18.040 --> 0:43:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I know you're messing around with a woman? Is women

0:43:20.120 --> 0:43:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that I don't know, meaning like like all a lot

0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 1>of my most of my all my female friends, she knows,

0:43:25.840 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 1>so she's never met her. I've never introduced her to

0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:31.879
<v Speaker 1>introduce her to the person. Yeah yeah, yeah, But see,

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I think that's important. So I got a lot of

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:36.120
<v Speaker 1>female friends, the majority of my friends and females. I

0:43:36.200 --> 0:43:38.319
<v Speaker 1>just always got along better with females that than me.

0:43:38.719 --> 0:43:41.600
<v Speaker 1>That I'm out there, you know, being them down or whatnot,

0:43:41.719 --> 0:43:43.640
<v Speaker 1>just means that we got a ton of friends with her.

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:45.839
<v Speaker 1>They look at me like an uncle, they look at

0:43:45.880 --> 0:43:47.680
<v Speaker 1>me like a big brother. I give them advice a

0:43:47.719 --> 0:43:50.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of times. But one thing that's for sure. If

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 1>I got a female friend, my fiance Cynthia has that

0:43:53.480 --> 0:43:55.560
<v Speaker 1>female friend as well. If I'm hanging out with her,

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.000
<v Speaker 1>she knows I'm hanging out with it. So once again

0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that pons were part of just making your g feel secure,

0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:04.400
<v Speaker 1>especially if you have that pass, because you want to

0:44:04.440 --> 0:44:07.040
<v Speaker 1>make sure that you build up that trust whatnot. And

0:44:07.120 --> 0:44:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times some people do it, and I'll

0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 1>be honest with you, some people do it because they

0:44:10.880 --> 0:44:13.120
<v Speaker 1>want to. You know, they might have somebody still doing

0:44:13.200 --> 0:44:15.439
<v Speaker 1>dirt or whatever. But I'm at a point in my life,

0:44:15.480 --> 0:44:17.719
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I've done all this stuff. Man, I

0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:20.360
<v Speaker 1>don't don't judge me for the transgressions, look at me

0:44:20.400 --> 0:44:23.640
<v Speaker 1>for my transformation. I've grown up and I realized all

0:44:23.680 --> 0:44:25.680
<v Speaker 1>the mistakes I made in the past on lead those

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:27.279
<v Speaker 1>in the past because I want to have a black

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:29.520
<v Speaker 1>future with somebody I can grow with. I have a

0:44:29.560 --> 0:44:31.200
<v Speaker 1>don't move. We got more with Mike Kill when we

0:44:31.200 --> 0:44:34.080
<v Speaker 1>come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody

0:44:34.200 --> 0:44:37.640
<v Speaker 1>is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are

0:44:37.680 --> 0:44:40.200
<v Speaker 1>the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Mike Kill. Charlomagne,

0:44:40.200 --> 0:44:44.200
<v Speaker 1>your fiance said, you probably never would have proposed and

0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.279
<v Speaker 1>she wouldn't have said yes if you didn't get the

0:44:46.280 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 1>help you needed. So so what traumas do you think

0:44:48.600 --> 0:44:51.839
<v Speaker 1>we're holding you back from being the man you are now? Yeah?

0:44:51.920 --> 0:44:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I was. I didn't trust anybody. I mean, there was

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:56.239
<v Speaker 1>something that happened to me, and you read the book.

0:44:56.520 --> 0:44:58.040
<v Speaker 1>There was something that happened to me. I was fifteen

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:00.920
<v Speaker 1>years old with a young lady and a lot of

0:45:00.920 --> 0:45:03.319
<v Speaker 1>people's like man, you held on to that for thirty years, yes,

0:45:03.520 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 1>told me, and you understand we as men sometime hold

0:45:06.239 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>on to traumas for a long period of time. And

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:11.640
<v Speaker 1>because when you told her you loved her and she

0:45:11.680 --> 0:45:14.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't say it back, that yeah, tell me that that

0:45:14.640 --> 0:45:16.120
<v Speaker 1>was it? I mean like she and she well, she

0:45:16.200 --> 0:45:17.960
<v Speaker 1>did not only did she not say it back, she

0:45:18.000 --> 0:45:19.800
<v Speaker 1>looked at me like I was freaking crazy, you know

0:45:19.840 --> 0:45:24.160
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? And that else, the first time I

0:45:24.640 --> 0:45:27.080
<v Speaker 1>told a woman that I loved her and she tells me,

0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:29.000
<v Speaker 1>she looks at me and like, let's go. And then

0:45:29.120 --> 0:45:32.120
<v Speaker 1>two days later she's with somebody else who happened to

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:34.000
<v Speaker 1>actually be a friend of mine or whatnot. And I

0:45:34.000 --> 0:45:36.279
<v Speaker 1>didn't even realize we had broken up. I felt that

0:45:36.400 --> 0:45:39.479
<v Speaker 1>her pain and and I didn't want to feel that again.

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:41.439
<v Speaker 1>So for a long time, I could not trust women,

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and after a while, I couldn't trust myself. So until

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I started loving myself, I could never fall in love

0:45:47.120 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>with another woman. I could love somebody. I loved the

0:45:49.040 --> 0:45:50.840
<v Speaker 1>women that I married before, the mother of my children.

0:45:50.880 --> 0:45:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong, but there's a difference in loving

0:45:53.320 --> 0:45:57.000
<v Speaker 1>somebody and falling in love. I could never completely fall

0:45:57.040 --> 0:45:59.200
<v Speaker 1>in love because I couldn't trust them. But more importantly,

0:45:59.360 --> 0:46:02.759
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't trus myself until I actually wrote this book. Mike,

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:05.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry giving away some spoilers also, but I just

0:46:05.520 --> 0:46:07.440
<v Speaker 1>want to there's a lot to this book, so I

0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:09.879
<v Speaker 1>just I do want to, you know, give away little

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:11.960
<v Speaker 1>bits and pieces, but I think that is important. You know,

0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:15.880
<v Speaker 1>she's fifteen years old, I love you, and she's you

0:46:15.920 --> 0:46:17.799
<v Speaker 1>know at that age. Was there anybody to tool us?

0:46:18.719 --> 0:46:20.520
<v Speaker 1>Was there people to talk to him during that time

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:22.319
<v Speaker 1>when you said I love you and she didn't say

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:23.759
<v Speaker 1>it back. Was anybody even saying, let you know what,

0:46:23.880 --> 0:46:26.239
<v Speaker 1>let me because we don't have these conversations. We're just

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 1>starting to have these conversations now. But was there anybody

0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.040
<v Speaker 1>that you could speak with? You just talked through them?

0:46:31.080 --> 0:46:32.719
<v Speaker 1>Mike saying, she looked at me like she farted in

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:35.400
<v Speaker 1>my mouth. Yeah, she looked at me like, yeah, like

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I farted, like I farted in her mouth. Like that's old.

0:46:38.040 --> 0:46:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Charlemaine heard he was. I heard everything. I'm like, how

0:46:42.480 --> 0:46:44.279
<v Speaker 1>do you mean how you talk over that? Like I

0:46:44.280 --> 0:46:47.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear that. That was the reaction, you know what

0:46:47.200 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 1>I mean? So when you imagine the first time you

0:46:51.480 --> 0:46:53.560
<v Speaker 1>pure in the way I described it, man, I felt

0:46:53.560 --> 0:46:55.200
<v Speaker 1>like I was in the moment, like Luke. I don't

0:46:55.200 --> 0:46:56.880
<v Speaker 1>even know who was playing in the background, but it

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:58.880
<v Speaker 1>was just like this was like something out of a

0:46:58.920 --> 0:47:01.000
<v Speaker 1>love story. I'm like, you know of what looking at her.

0:47:01.080 --> 0:47:03.239
<v Speaker 1>She's beautiful, she's two years old. She's a saying y'am

0:47:03.280 --> 0:47:06.239
<v Speaker 1>the sophomore and like, I love you. I did it

0:47:06.360 --> 0:47:11.239
<v Speaker 1>just like that real school right there. I mean that's

0:47:11.280 --> 0:47:12.840
<v Speaker 1>where I said, I read a real school. And she

0:47:12.880 --> 0:47:15.440
<v Speaker 1>looked at me like, so I remember that now he

0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:18.400
<v Speaker 1>ain't or whatever. So, like you said, there was nobody

0:47:18.400 --> 0:47:20.600
<v Speaker 1>for me to talk to. There was nobody I could

0:47:20.600 --> 0:47:23.759
<v Speaker 1>go to. My biological father wasn't around my stepfather. I

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>couldn't talk to him about loving anybody because I never

0:47:26.400 --> 0:47:29.160
<v Speaker 1>saw him love my mom. I never saw them. I

0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:31.600
<v Speaker 1>never saw love in a household. So I didn't have

0:47:31.680 --> 0:47:34.359
<v Speaker 1>anybody that was a positive male role model that could

0:47:34.360 --> 0:47:36.560
<v Speaker 1>actually talk to about that. And if I talk to him,

0:47:36.960 --> 0:47:40.400
<v Speaker 1>they would say things like emptem holes. Seriously, man, you

0:47:40.920 --> 0:47:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you ain't supposed to love him anyway. That's exactly what

0:47:43.760 --> 0:47:46.080
<v Speaker 1>end that I got, Mike. I swear I was about

0:47:46.080 --> 0:47:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to say that to you. What's interesting about that? And

0:47:48.000 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 1>she broke your heart? And when the other options are

0:47:50.640 --> 0:47:54.080
<v Speaker 1>bitches ain't beholds in tricks, money over holes. When the

0:47:54.080 --> 0:47:58.360
<v Speaker 1>option is disrespect you adopt that, Yeah, exactly, that's what

0:47:58.480 --> 0:48:00.640
<v Speaker 1>you see growing up as a kid. It man. And

0:48:01.239 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>so that's why I once again, I wanted people to

0:48:03.680 --> 0:48:05.680
<v Speaker 1>see my pain and see the things that I've gone

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:07.680
<v Speaker 1>through in my life, a lot of things, like Angela

0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:10.319
<v Speaker 1>just said, some embarrassing moments that you know, it's hard

0:48:10.360 --> 0:48:12.120
<v Speaker 1>for me to talk about or whatever at the same time,

0:48:12.120 --> 0:48:14.440
<v Speaker 1>but I wanted to put that out there because if

0:48:14.560 --> 0:48:18.640
<v Speaker 1>you can heal from my pain, then then that's my journey.

0:48:18.680 --> 0:48:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Then that's what I'm supposed to be doing on this earth.

0:48:20.760 --> 0:48:23.040
<v Speaker 1>That's my purpose in life. One more teas I want

0:48:23.040 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to give it. I'm not gonna give this theory because

0:48:24.600 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure everybody reads this book. You're

0:48:26.760 --> 0:48:28.960
<v Speaker 1>gonna love this, Charlottagne. There was even an incident that

0:48:29.000 --> 0:48:31.840
<v Speaker 1>you talk about where you got hit on the face

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:36.640
<v Speaker 1>or in the head with a penis why Charlemagne gonna

0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:38.319
<v Speaker 1>love that? That That that happened to you too, Charlemagne, But

0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.279
<v Speaker 1>explain mic ahead. So that's the tease. When I was

0:48:41.360 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 1>starting my broadcasting career and I was an intern and

0:48:44.280 --> 0:48:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we was just say, we was in a tight locker room.

0:48:47.040 --> 0:48:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I was holding the microphone talking to somebody while I

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was on my knees because the locker room was real tight,

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:56.160
<v Speaker 1>and when I turned around, let's just say, I turned

0:48:56.200 --> 0:48:59.399
<v Speaker 1>around and another microphone hit me on my forehead right there,

0:48:59.400 --> 0:49:01.920
<v Speaker 1>because you know, because the players were so close to

0:49:01.960 --> 0:49:04.799
<v Speaker 1>each other. And the guy said, well, I'm sorry, excuse me.

0:49:04.920 --> 0:49:07.600
<v Speaker 1>You know me so but you know, yeah, that that

0:49:07.719 --> 0:49:09.759
<v Speaker 1>that was a really thank you answer. I appreciate you,

0:49:12.480 --> 0:49:14.640
<v Speaker 1>but that was that wasn't want for me to say too,

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:16.880
<v Speaker 1>because that was part of my broadcasting career. That was

0:49:17.440 --> 0:49:22.439
<v Speaker 1>my introduction. I probably was. I was about to quit. You. Hey,

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:24.840
<v Speaker 1>you won't be the first person to start a broadcasting

0:49:24.840 --> 0:49:28.440
<v Speaker 1>career because they got it on their head. So what

0:49:28.520 --> 0:49:30.279
<v Speaker 1>do you saff He says, I'm sorry, what do you say?

0:49:30.480 --> 0:49:33.560
<v Speaker 1>All right? Get up? I mean you know this well

0:49:33.600 --> 0:49:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was a superstar in the NBA. All

0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I can do is like was was damn at least

0:49:37.200 --> 0:49:45.320
<v Speaker 1>it was his? All right? Who were talking about? We

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:50.400
<v Speaker 1>talking about? He wouldn't say that. I'm pretty sure he en.

0:49:50.640 --> 0:49:52.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, a lot of faith has been slapped by

0:49:52.239 --> 0:49:59.759
<v Speaker 1>that pigs. I'm been saying, a superstar or scribe man?

0:50:00.120 --> 0:50:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Is it a hull of things? He's a Hall of Famer, obviously,

0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll leave it at that. Yeah, all of thing. Yeah,

0:50:07.520 --> 0:50:09.319
<v Speaker 1>But you know, Mike, what you're doing with your book

0:50:09.400 --> 0:50:11.480
<v Speaker 1>is a great man, because we have to create space

0:50:11.520 --> 0:50:14.879
<v Speaker 1>for each other to discuss our brokenness and discuss our

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:18.520
<v Speaker 1>traumas without being canceled. You know, yes, the person you

0:50:18.600 --> 0:50:20.560
<v Speaker 1>probably heard people and you know, we got to create

0:50:20.600 --> 0:50:22.680
<v Speaker 1>these spaces to have these conversations. We have to give

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:25.200
<v Speaker 1>each other the grace you want God to give us. Yeah,

0:50:25.200 --> 0:50:27.160
<v Speaker 1>And I appreciate you guys giving me the platform to

0:50:27.200 --> 0:50:28.959
<v Speaker 1>be able to talk about that because, like you said,

0:50:29.000 --> 0:50:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Charlo Man, I appreciate you using your platform to basically

0:50:31.560 --> 0:50:34.080
<v Speaker 1>get that word out that we can't be ashamed. We

0:50:34.120 --> 0:50:36.680
<v Speaker 1>gotta stop manning up. If we continue to man up,

0:50:36.760 --> 0:50:39.120
<v Speaker 1>soon or later, it's gonna be manned down. Man, I

0:50:39.239 --> 0:50:41.560
<v Speaker 1>mean six feet down, because I keep telling people, had

0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I not written this book, I would be dead right now.

0:50:44.000 --> 0:50:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Think about this as black people, every single person in

0:50:48.960 --> 0:50:51.560
<v Speaker 1>this country has had to deal with some kind of trauma.

0:50:51.640 --> 0:50:54.880
<v Speaker 1>We're dealing with trauma right now. Basically, when you're afraid

0:50:54.920 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to get in your car get stopped by the police,

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:00.600
<v Speaker 1>that's trauma. That's paint. Feel free to talk about that

0:51:00.719 --> 0:51:03.000
<v Speaker 1>type of stuff and not be ashamed of it, because

0:51:03.400 --> 0:51:06.680
<v Speaker 1>being a man is admitting that you have problems and

0:51:06.800 --> 0:51:09.399
<v Speaker 1>you need help with those problems. And that's why I'm

0:51:09.440 --> 0:51:10.920
<v Speaker 1>here for man, That's what I'm gonna trying to do.

0:51:10.920 --> 0:51:13.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna keep on using my platform for that regard.

0:51:13.880 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Another takeaway from this book is a lot of people

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:18.880
<v Speaker 1>see you as a successful Mike Hill now, but they

0:51:18.880 --> 0:51:20.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know how long it took for you to get there,

0:51:21.040 --> 0:51:23.399
<v Speaker 1>and all the trials and tribulations that you had to have,

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:27.480
<v Speaker 1>even getting fired, having to dumb yourself down to be

0:51:27.560 --> 0:51:30.719
<v Speaker 1>on a network and not show your real personality, feeling betrayal,

0:51:31.200 --> 0:51:33.480
<v Speaker 1>all of those things at work, and how hard it

0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:37.040
<v Speaker 1>is to just keep going when things aren't working out.

0:51:37.080 --> 0:51:40.239
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's a really huge valuable takeaway for people.

0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not an overnight thing. Yeah, I appreciate you saying that,

0:51:43.400 --> 0:51:45.680
<v Speaker 1>because part of the book is about my professional growth

0:51:45.719 --> 0:51:47.759
<v Speaker 1>and my development and things like you said that I

0:51:47.760 --> 0:51:50.840
<v Speaker 1>had to go through and having to basically I lost myself,

0:51:50.880 --> 0:51:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, to get a dream job at ESPN and

0:51:53.560 --> 0:51:56.600
<v Speaker 1>then basically be told you know at one time that

0:51:56.640 --> 0:51:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I was being too ghetto, you know, and run of

0:51:58.840 --> 0:52:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the reasons why I wasn't moving up being too ghetto.

0:52:01.280 --> 0:52:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I was talking about NVY the other

0:52:04.520 --> 0:52:06.440
<v Speaker 1>day when Ivy came out and he was talking about

0:52:06.480 --> 0:52:09.040
<v Speaker 1>what somebody at a network basically told him that he

0:52:09.080 --> 0:52:11.600
<v Speaker 1>wasn't black enough. So I've been that that guy that

0:52:11.680 --> 0:52:13.799
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of places that I've been. I've been

0:52:13.800 --> 0:52:16.120
<v Speaker 1>too black for some people. I've been too ghetto so

0:52:16.160 --> 0:52:18.240
<v Speaker 1>to speak to some people, and I've been too white

0:52:18.239 --> 0:52:20.839
<v Speaker 1>for other people. I've been corny or whatnot. So I'm

0:52:20.880 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 1>kind of in between, and it's kind of hard. So

0:52:22.800 --> 0:52:25.640
<v Speaker 1>once you realize who you are and you step into

0:52:25.640 --> 0:52:27.879
<v Speaker 1>who you are and you don't care what other people think,

0:52:28.160 --> 0:52:31.160
<v Speaker 1>it's so liberating. But going through what I went through

0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:33.760
<v Speaker 1>in my life, being fired, like you said, for whatever reasons,

0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:35.439
<v Speaker 1>I got fired and you'll see it in the book

0:52:35.480 --> 0:52:38.000
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, the ups and downs at ESPN, and been

0:52:38.120 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>losing my personality and losing who I was. Can't look

0:52:40.600 --> 0:52:43.600
<v Speaker 1>myself in a mirror and realize that I lost who

0:52:43.680 --> 0:52:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Mike kill was. I mean, that was tough and I

0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:48.600
<v Speaker 1>finally got that back. So you'll see the transgressions and

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the transformation that I had with my professional career as well.

0:52:52.000 --> 0:52:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely appreciate you brother for checking in. Man, we really

0:52:55.200 --> 0:53:00.919
<v Speaker 1>do it. Definitely showing the bookie, Michael. We'll be doing

0:53:01.040 --> 0:53:03.480
<v Speaker 1>Angela Gue's book Club, the Well Read book Club, so

0:53:03.520 --> 0:53:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate you for that. We'll be announcing that date shortly.

0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I got one more question though, because I know you've

0:53:08.360 --> 0:53:10.799
<v Speaker 1>been doing the work on yourself, so your ego isn't

0:53:10.800 --> 0:53:12.960
<v Speaker 1>as fragile as it used to be. But when you

0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:15.799
<v Speaker 1>saw the headline a couple of weeks ago that your

0:53:15.800 --> 0:53:19.080
<v Speaker 1>fiance says she's been having horrible quarantine sex with you,

0:53:19.680 --> 0:53:22.160
<v Speaker 1>how did that? How did that? How did that hit

0:53:22.239 --> 0:53:25.120
<v Speaker 1>for you? You know it didn't. It didn't affect you

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.160
<v Speaker 1>whatsoever because I know what I'm doing in the bedroom

0:53:27.200 --> 0:53:31.080
<v Speaker 1>for us, so I know I know I'm putting it down. Dog.

0:53:31.120 --> 0:53:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, look, hey, bro, the reviews the okay, to

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:36.160
<v Speaker 1>be quite honest with you, so late. You know how

0:53:36.200 --> 0:53:39.200
<v Speaker 1>clickbait is it if you're read. Yeah, that's not what

0:53:39.280 --> 0:53:40.880
<v Speaker 1>she was saying. He was talking. She was talking about

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:44.919
<v Speaker 1>more the circumstance, the environment. R Yeah, because our kids

<v Speaker 1>were in the house, so man, she couldn't you know

0:53:46.840 --> 0:53:48.960
<v Speaker 1>she couldn't get a scream on man, my girl, like

0:53:49.120 --> 0:53:53.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, you come a long way from

0:53:54.440 --> 0:53:57.120

0:53:57.160 --> 0:54:02.040
<v Speaker 1>and releasing just from that, so grat's on that great?

0:54:05.200 --> 0:54:09.880
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, thank you for joining us. Just Mike

0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:12.839
<v Speaker 1>killed us the Breakfast Club in the morning. So Breakfast Club,

0:54:12.920 --> 0:54:16.640
<v Speaker 1>your morning's will never be the same morning. Everybody is

0:54:16.800 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 1>DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, guy, we all the Breakfast Club.

0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Mariah carry listen,

0:54:25.760 --> 0:54:33.799
<v Speaker 1>oh Gosh reports Breakfast Club. Well, Mariah did a sit

0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:36.640
<v Speaker 1>down with Oprah and this is all about her new book.

0:54:36.760 --> 0:54:39.799
<v Speaker 1>She did an interview for the Oprah Conversation and she

0:54:39.920 --> 0:54:42.200
<v Speaker 1>talked about some of the stories that she is sharing

0:54:42.200 --> 0:54:44.719
<v Speaker 1>in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that is

0:54:44.719 --> 0:54:47.920
<v Speaker 1>coming out on September twenty ninth. It's a lot going

0:54:47.960 --> 0:54:49.759
<v Speaker 1>on September twenty ninth. By the way, that's the first

0:54:49.760 --> 0:54:52.440
<v Speaker 1>debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It's awesome my

0:54:52.480 --> 0:54:56.360
<v Speaker 1>brother's birthday. And she discussed as many things, including growing

0:54:56.440 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 1>up by racial and what that experience was like. It

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:02.360
<v Speaker 1>wasn't that I didn't like my hair when it was behaving,

0:55:02.400 --> 0:55:04.919
<v Speaker 1>but as I grew up a little bit, it went

0:55:04.960 --> 0:55:08.360
<v Speaker 1>from baby hair to like matted, unruly hair that nobody

0:55:08.560 --> 0:55:11.200
<v Speaker 1>was combing through or understanding that you can't have a

0:55:11.239 --> 0:55:14.439
<v Speaker 1>little girl running around with matt in her head. Feel

0:55:14.480 --> 0:55:17.120
<v Speaker 1>like I was hated on by certain people in my

0:55:17.200 --> 0:55:20.279
<v Speaker 1>family for having the lighter hair, and but then if

0:55:20.320 --> 0:55:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they only realized, like, no, actually, I have like matted

0:55:23.920 --> 0:55:26.680
<v Speaker 1>hair which is frizzy and curly, and like it could

0:55:26.760 --> 0:55:29.279
<v Speaker 1>look good if we had some conditioner. So your mother,

0:55:29.320 --> 0:55:30.680
<v Speaker 1>did you know what to do with it? And many

0:55:30.719 --> 0:55:34.200
<v Speaker 1>times she just let it go. She also discusses dating

0:55:34.280 --> 0:55:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Derk Jeter and how that helped her get over her

0:55:37.120 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 1>relationship and get out of her relationship with Tammy Motola.

0:55:40.080 --> 0:55:42.840
<v Speaker 1>He was a catalyst that helped me get out of

0:55:42.880 --> 0:55:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that relationship, and I think that it was beautiful and

0:55:45.520 --> 0:55:50.160
<v Speaker 1>his family was a healthy family, and they changed my

0:55:50.400 --> 0:55:53.440
<v Speaker 1>viewpoint that, oh, it's because of the biracial situation that

0:55:53.520 --> 0:55:56.680
<v Speaker 1>my family so screwed up, as opposed to it's them,

0:55:57.200 --> 0:56:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you know. And yes, those things did play a huge

0:56:00.080 --> 0:56:03.560
<v Speaker 1>part in their dysfunction, but it was healthy for me

0:56:03.640 --> 0:56:07.600
<v Speaker 1>to see a functional family that basically kind of looked

0:56:07.640 --> 0:56:10.520
<v Speaker 1>like mine but didn't feel like mine. And then she

0:56:10.640 --> 0:56:13.279
<v Speaker 1>talked about her twins, the kids, and how they help her.

0:56:13.480 --> 0:56:16.680
<v Speaker 1>They helped to heal me every day, every time we

0:56:16.760 --> 0:56:20.759
<v Speaker 1>have a moment that feels real and authentic and genuine,

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and it's them loving me unconditionally. The only other time

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:28.640
<v Speaker 1>my fably got it, got it. You know, I am

0:56:28.680 --> 0:56:32.799
<v Speaker 1>actually interested in reading Mariah Carry's book. I really am. Yeah,

0:56:33.800 --> 0:56:36.360
<v Speaker 1>ever since the time Mariah Carry came into the Breakfast

0:56:36.360 --> 0:56:39.520
<v Speaker 1>Club studios and she was in full diva mode and

0:56:39.560 --> 0:56:41.799
<v Speaker 1>she had her own lighting team and she made us

0:56:41.800 --> 0:56:44.200
<v Speaker 1>turn our lights down and set hers up. And when

0:56:44.239 --> 0:56:45.600
<v Speaker 1>we said to her, well, you're not going to be

0:56:45.600 --> 0:56:47.920
<v Speaker 1>able to see us, she said, that's the point, darling.

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I've always liked her. I like people who are unapologetically themselves,

0:56:52.800 --> 0:56:55.399
<v Speaker 1>even if themselves is a total diva. Now it isn't

0:56:55.440 --> 0:56:58.799
<v Speaker 1>DJs one. Mariah is DJ also. Yes, he just such

0:56:58.840 --> 0:57:00.880
<v Speaker 1>one belongs to Windy Williams. And now you must not

0:57:00.880 --> 0:57:03.640
<v Speaker 1>know how this works. See, okay, how does this work?

0:57:04.440 --> 0:57:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Wendy has a leash around sus one, all right, okay,

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:11.040
<v Speaker 1>until that leash is off, he belongs to Wendy. That's

0:57:11.040 --> 0:57:13.160
<v Speaker 1>how this works. Suss Will realized that what he tries,

0:57:13.280 --> 0:57:17.120
<v Speaker 1>he's getting all the money. All right, Well better he

0:57:17.200 --> 0:57:19.800
<v Speaker 1>better hope Maria and Wendy have a good relationship. Because

0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Maria don't come to Wendy's show to promote that book.

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:26.040
<v Speaker 1>Wendy will be quick to say, f Mariah and sus

0:57:26.080 --> 0:57:28.480
<v Speaker 1>you better not go on the road with her. Wow,

0:57:28.800 --> 0:57:31.000
<v Speaker 1>So is that how it works? Is that how you

0:57:31.040 --> 0:57:32.520
<v Speaker 1>sat on her lap? She has a leash on you.

0:57:32.600 --> 0:57:35.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's right. You see that little talk, sit down,

0:57:35.280 --> 0:57:42.240
<v Speaker 1>come down, sit down, tame puppet all right now. John

0:57:42.320 --> 0:57:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Legend says that he and Chrissy t can go to therapy,

0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:48.640
<v Speaker 1>and he also said that therapy and communication are some

0:57:48.680 --> 0:57:52.160
<v Speaker 1>of the factors that has helped their marriage. Last he said,

0:57:52.200 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 1>it sounds obvious, but being with someone you really care about,

0:57:54.680 --> 0:57:57.240
<v Speaker 1>respect and enjoy being around. I think that's the crucial

0:57:57.280 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 1>foundation than communicating, being concern are listening to your partner

0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and making sure their needs are met. And we go

0:58:02.800 --> 0:58:05.600
<v Speaker 1>to therapy sometimes. I think every couple who's been together

0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:07.240
<v Speaker 1>for a long time could use time to talk with

0:58:07.280 --> 0:58:09.560
<v Speaker 1>the third party to help with whatever concerns they have

0:58:10.000 --> 0:58:13.200
<v Speaker 1>and this was with Cosmopolitan UK. I agree with you.

0:58:13.560 --> 0:58:17.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to therapy with your other half. I've been

0:58:17.400 --> 0:58:20.320
<v Speaker 1>in therapy before. I've been before a long time ago.

0:58:20.440 --> 0:58:23.640
<v Speaker 1>But we still this people that we speak with when

0:58:23.640 --> 0:58:26.720
<v Speaker 1>we have conversations or is this a disagreement, but nah,

0:58:26.800 --> 0:58:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean we have a you know, you know what

0:58:28.640 --> 0:58:30.840
<v Speaker 1>helps us a lot, not be honest, taping the podcast

0:58:30.840 --> 0:58:33.520
<v Speaker 1>with each other. Yep. That podcast does everything because every

0:58:33.520 --> 0:58:35.720
<v Speaker 1>week we talk about what's going on in all relationship

0:58:35.840 --> 0:58:37.800
<v Speaker 1>or things that happen, and we just sit down and

0:58:37.800 --> 0:58:39.920
<v Speaker 1>talk to each other. There's no arguments, it's just discussion

0:58:39.920 --> 0:58:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and communication. So that podcast helps a lot. I love it.

0:58:43.120 --> 0:58:44.640
<v Speaker 1>I do want to add a couple of therapy to

0:58:44.640 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 1>the repertoire. I mean I've been before, and you know

0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I go individually every week, but yeah, I think a

0:58:50.000 --> 0:58:55.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of therapy is great. Felicia Rashad has joined social media.

0:58:55.560 --> 0:58:58.560
<v Speaker 1>She put up a video and told her fans that

0:58:58.640 --> 0:59:02.080
<v Speaker 1>she's there. I told my sister Debbie, there are so

0:59:02.120 --> 0:59:05.960
<v Speaker 1>many Twitter, Facebook, Instagram accounts with my name already on it.

0:59:06.040 --> 0:59:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Why should I do this? She said, yeah, this, but

0:59:09.400 --> 0:59:13.439
<v Speaker 1>they're not the real you. So this is the real

0:59:13.560 --> 0:59:17.640
<v Speaker 1>me talking to the real you, and I'm looking forward

0:59:17.640 --> 0:59:21.439
<v Speaker 1>to posting about things that matter. Was the video upside down?

0:59:21.480 --> 0:59:23.880
<v Speaker 1>She added together it was good. Why would you try

0:59:23.880 --> 0:59:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to play her like that? Let me saying all right,

0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:28.240
<v Speaker 1>she said, good morning. I want to give a shout

0:59:28.240 --> 0:59:31.280

<v Speaker 1>making sure for ensuring that justice was not served in

1:01:27.680 --> 1:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the shooting death of Brianna Taylor. Is Donkey is for

1:01:30.200 --> 1:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>you too, if you haven't heard a Jefferson County grand

1:01:33.280 --> 1:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>jury wednesday and died in One of the officers, Brett Hankinson,

1:01:36.680 --> 1:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>on three counts of first degree wanton endangerment because jurist

1:01:40.800 --> 1:01:44.800
<v Speaker 1>said several bullets he fired inside Taylor's apartment. In March thirteenth,

1:01:44.960 --> 1:01:47.920
<v Speaker 1>went into a neighboring apartment where a pregnant woman, a man,

1:01:48.040 --> 1:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>and a child were home, but neither him nor Sergeant

1:01:51.720 --> 1:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan matten Lee our detective Miles cost Growth were charged

1:01:55.040 --> 1:01:59.840
<v Speaker 1>with killing Brianna Taylor, an unarmed black woman. Look, I

1:02:00.080 --> 1:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't expecting any type of justice. This is America, Okay.

1:02:04.120 --> 1:02:07.760
<v Speaker 1>When justice is served, I'm shocked, pleasantly, surprised, joyful even

1:02:07.880 --> 1:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>which is why because we should never celebrate people for

1:02:10.360 --> 1:02:13.560
<v Speaker 1>doing what they're supposed to do. But when justice isn't served,

1:02:14.200 --> 1:02:18.920
<v Speaker 1>I honestly don't know what I am. Each case is different,

1:02:19.200 --> 1:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>each case feels different. I was talking to my dear

1:02:22.200 --> 1:02:25.960
<v Speaker 1>sister Angela Ry last night and I told her I

1:02:25.280 --> 1:02:30.560
<v Speaker 1>just feel bad, Okay, I feel humanly helpless because at

1:02:30.600 --> 1:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the end of the day, as a black man in America.

1:02:32.600 --> 1:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I just want to win, that's all we want, you know.

1:02:35.840 --> 1:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>And winning to me isn't being the richest, it's not

1:02:38.000 --> 1:02:41.040
<v Speaker 1>being the most successful. Winning to me is just being free.

1:02:42.040 --> 1:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>What does that mean? I don't know. Winning to me

1:02:44.480 --> 1:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>is just simply receiving liberty, equality, and justice. You know,

1:02:47.760 --> 1:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>those democratic values they tell us about. Those three words

1:02:50.880 --> 1:02:55.440
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to represent basic values of democratic political systems.

1:02:55.440 --> 1:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>At the bare minimum, a human in this country should

1:02:58.120 --> 1:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>be able to get liberty, equal quality, and justice. But

1:03:01.760 --> 1:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>we know that's not the case when you're black. All right.

1:03:06.080 --> 1:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Democratic values are supposed to support the belief that an

1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:12.760
<v Speaker 1>orderly society can exist in which freedom is preserved. But

1:03:13.120 --> 1:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>order and freedom must be balanced. Right, So when you

1:03:15.560 --> 1:03:17.520
<v Speaker 1>see all this civil unrest in the street right now,

1:03:17.560 --> 1:03:20.480
<v Speaker 1>after verdicts like Brianna Taylor happened, and people are acting

1:03:20.600 --> 1:03:24.360
<v Speaker 1>out of order, it's because there's no balance, all right.

1:03:24.440 --> 1:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Order and freedom must be balanced. There will never be

1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>ordered when a people are not free. And it's hard

1:03:30.520 --> 1:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to feel truly free when you don't feel protected, when

1:03:33.680 --> 1:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, at any moment in this country your human

1:03:37.760 --> 1:03:39.920
<v Speaker 1>rights can be violated. So we keep talking about our

1:03:39.920 --> 1:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>civil rights being violated. Let me tell y'all something. In

1:03:42.360 --> 1:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>order for one to respect our civil rights, they have

1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to respect our human rights, which is my right to

1:03:47.320 --> 1:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>simply live. Okay, what does this country say? What does

1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>this country say? I think it's my right to life

1:03:53.400 --> 1:03:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and liberty that bs. This country says everyone is entitled

1:03:57.280 --> 1:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>to these rights without discrimination. Where That's why I don't

1:04:01.240 --> 1:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>feel that way. I'm a black man. If it wasn't

1:04:02.960 --> 1:04:04.640
<v Speaker 1>for my faith in a higher power in my right

1:04:04.680 --> 1:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>to bear arms, I would never feel safe in this country.

1:04:07.920 --> 1:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>And that's what I mean when I say I want

1:04:09.480 --> 1:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>black people to win. A win to me, is us

1:04:11.800 --> 1:04:15.400
<v Speaker 1>as black people feeling protected. Okay, hard to feel like

1:04:15.440 --> 1:04:18.760
<v Speaker 1>that when you live in the United States of anxiety. Okay.

1:04:18.800 --> 1:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>I want black people to feel like we matter. I

1:04:20.720 --> 1:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>want us to be able to deal with our generational

1:04:23.600 --> 1:04:26.520
<v Speaker 1>traumas in heal. But we are not ever able to

1:04:26.560 --> 1:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>do that because we keep getting retraumatized over and over

1:04:30.440 --> 1:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>in this country. This country will always remind us that

1:04:33.480 --> 1:04:37.959
<v Speaker 1>black lives simply don't matter. I got a beautiful black wife,

1:04:37.960 --> 1:04:40.560
<v Speaker 1>three beautiful black daughters. I am a black man. I

1:04:40.680 --> 1:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>just you know, think about it today we matter about

1:04:44.600 --> 1:04:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Brianna Taylor. We're still mad about George Floyd. You got

1:04:47.880 --> 1:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Ahmad Aubrey, but all those names are interchangeable with Sandra Blain,

1:04:51.080 --> 1:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Walter Scott, Treyvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Natasha mckenne, Philando cast

1:04:55.400 --> 1:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>still could be you like, it's just too much. And

1:04:58.720 --> 1:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know, November look I play

1:05:01.360 --> 1:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>into but police politicians, don't politicize black pain that scared

1:05:05.240 --> 1:05:08.600
<v Speaker 1>me in the voting because these injustices happen under Democrats too.

1:05:08.680 --> 1:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't matter what party is in power, because once again,

1:05:11.360 --> 1:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>this isn't about civil rights, it's about human rights, and

1:05:14.240 --> 1:05:17.000
<v Speaker 1>white people in this country have always looked at black

1:05:17.040 --> 1:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>folks as subhuman. So does it matter who's in office

1:05:20.280 --> 1:05:23.640
<v Speaker 1>locally nationally when we've been watching police and damn there

1:05:23.680 --> 1:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>everyone else get away with these types of injustice towards

1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>black people forever. Once again, I'm voting, but don't politicize

1:05:29.880 --> 1:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>black pain that scared me to vote. Don't tell me

1:05:31.800 --> 1:05:35.640
<v Speaker 1>how the justice system needs to be reformed. No, no, no,

1:05:35.680 --> 1:05:39.480
<v Speaker 1>because that system was never designed to provide equal justice

1:05:39.480 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>across the board. Okay, when they say justice for all,

1:05:42.320 --> 1:05:46.360
<v Speaker 1>they were not talking about black folks. Bernie Sanders hit

1:05:46.440 --> 1:05:49.240
<v Speaker 1>it on the head yesterday when he said in a tweet,

1:05:50.040 --> 1:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Rihanna Taylor's life mattered. This result is a disgrace and

1:05:54.400 --> 1:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racing. Okay,

1:06:01.040 --> 1:06:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the time for fundamental changes now. Keywords and that our

1:06:04.120 --> 1:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>criminal justice system is racist. There is no reforming or

1:06:08.480 --> 1:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>racist system. Okay, you got to overhaul the whole thing

1:06:12.000 --> 1:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>from top to bottom. Throw it out. The criminal justice

1:06:14.120 --> 1:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>system in America is defective. Product, take it off the

1:06:16.920 --> 1:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>assembly line. Let's build something new because this is not working.

1:06:23.000 --> 1:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the answers, Okay, I'm just telling you

1:06:25.000 --> 1:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>how I feel. I hate when I hear politicians get

1:06:27.120 --> 1:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>asked about these situations and the first thing they say

1:06:29.280 --> 1:06:32.080
<v Speaker 1>is make sure you protest peacefully. We don't need any violence.

1:06:32.280 --> 1:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>How about tell that to the cops, tell them the

1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:37.840
<v Speaker 1>police peacefully, Tell them we don't need any more violence.

1:06:37.880 --> 1:06:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Help show improve through actions and deeds, and hold them

1:06:40.600 --> 1:06:45.040
<v Speaker 1>accountable when situations like Brianna Taylor happened, and maybe they

1:06:45.080 --> 1:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>will slow down on violence. What are the consequences to

1:06:48.800 --> 1:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>their actions. They don't lose their pensions, they don't go

1:06:51.560 --> 1:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>to prison. What will ensure that situations like Brianna Taylor,

1:06:55.200 --> 1:06:58.480
<v Speaker 1>George Floyd and insert black name here don't happen again?

1:06:58.720 --> 1:07:01.560
<v Speaker 1>All right? These politicians have it more smoke for protesters

1:07:01.680 --> 1:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>than they do the police. You have more smoke for

1:07:04.240 --> 1:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the people in pain than the people causing the pain.

1:07:07.320 --> 1:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>These politicians love acknowledging the effect, but not the cause.

1:07:11.880 --> 1:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Is sickness, man, he really is. And I don't know

1:07:15.200 --> 1:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>what to do. I don't know what to say. I

1:07:16.760 --> 1:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>have faith in God, Okay. I go to therapy to

1:07:19.320 --> 1:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>avoid going crazy. And I think every black person in

1:07:21.720 --> 1:07:24.880
<v Speaker 1>America should own a legal firearm and you should know

1:07:25.000 --> 1:07:27.360
<v Speaker 1>how to use it. That's all I got, Black people,

1:07:27.760 --> 1:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>That's all I got. If y'all got some great ideas,

1:07:29.640 --> 1:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm all ears. But at this moment, today, right now,

1:07:33.800 --> 1:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I got nothing, just like Brianna Taylor's family got nothing

1:07:38.520 --> 1:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>in regards to justice. And if there's no justice, there's

1:07:41.920 --> 1:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>no peace in the streets. Okay. And that's the way

1:07:45.360 --> 1:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>karma works in America, Almighty America. No one and I

1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:55.080
<v Speaker 1>mean no one can escape the law karma. Please let

1:07:55.080 --> 1:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>remy Ma give the Jefferson County Grand Jury an attorney

1:07:58.120 --> 1:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Cameron, the biggest he haw he haw, he haw.

1:08:02.040 --> 1:08:05.760

<v Speaker 1>thank you for that, donkey, or today I wish I

1:08:07.960 --> 1:08:10.280

<v Speaker 1>not gotten justice. They have not gotten justice for Brianna Taylor.

1:08:30.240 --> 1:08:32.759
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear what your thoughts are as women,

1:08:33.240 --> 1:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>as black women here in the United States. Please call

<v Speaker 1>up and let's just vent and get it off I

1:08:38.520 --> 1:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>guess get it off our chest. Today we want to

1:08:40.400 --> 1:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>hear from you. All right, eight hundred five eight five

1:08:43.240 --> 1:08:46.040
<v Speaker 1>one oh five one, call us now, women, it's the

1:08:46.040 --> 1:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is

1:08:52.360 --> 1:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the

1:08:56.000 --> 1:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club. Now usually we do ask eye here whatever

1:09:00.000 --> 1:09:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and that's going on. We just want to open up

1:09:01.400 --> 1:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the phone lines and speak to everybody, speak to definitely

1:09:04.320 --> 1:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>you women, you mothers, you sisters, you man. We want

1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:11.719
<v Speaker 1>to speak to black women in particular because black women's

1:09:11.720 --> 1:09:14.280
<v Speaker 1>experience has been really different in this country and around

1:09:14.320 --> 1:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>the world when it comes to police brutality, when it

1:09:17.439 --> 1:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>comes to feminism, when it comes to our rights, when

1:09:21.080 --> 1:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>it comes to being respected, and it's a continuing issue

1:09:25.200 --> 1:09:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and we see this right now with Brianna Taylor and

1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:31.599
<v Speaker 1>no justice for her family. She was killed by police

1:09:31.600 --> 1:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>officers and there were no charges based off of her

1:09:36.600 --> 1:09:39.439
<v Speaker 1>getting killed. So we want to talk to black women

1:09:39.760 --> 1:09:41.559
<v Speaker 1>and talk about how you feel. As you know, the

1:09:41.600 --> 1:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>most famous quote, the most disrespected person in America is

1:09:44.600 --> 1:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is

1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:50.880
<v Speaker 1>the black woman. The most neglected person in America is

1:09:50.920 --> 1:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>the black woman. And you can see that when it

1:09:53.080 --> 1:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>comes to finance is what women get paid. Women get

1:09:56.000 --> 1:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>make eighty two cents for every dollar that a white

1:09:58.400 --> 1:10:01.160
<v Speaker 1>man makes, but black women may sixty two cents still

1:10:01.160 --> 1:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>in the United States for every dollar that a white

1:10:03.120 --> 1:10:05.759
<v Speaker 1>man makes. So we're always still at the bottom of everything.

1:10:05.760 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>And I want to get people. I want to get

1:10:07.520 --> 1:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>black women to call and talk about how you're feeling

1:10:09.960 --> 1:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>this morning. Black women also face police brutality, sexual assault

1:10:14.479 --> 1:10:16.960
<v Speaker 1>at a higher rate than white women. So I just

1:10:17.000 --> 1:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>want to get your your thoughts this morning. Hello, who's

1:10:20.120 --> 1:10:24.479
<v Speaker 1>this Hello? My name is Kia from Jersey. I just

1:10:24.560 --> 1:10:26.760
<v Speaker 1>want to know where is face to be a black

1:10:26.840 --> 1:10:30.960
<v Speaker 1>female in this country because from a young age where

1:10:30.960 --> 1:10:33.439
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. You know, you're not safe around your family,

1:10:34.000 --> 1:10:37.280
<v Speaker 1>You're not safe in your neighborhood. Growing up, you know

1:10:37.439 --> 1:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>you gotta be safe, Like it's one way, be safe, safe, safe,

1:10:40.920 --> 1:10:44.200
<v Speaker 1>But where's that police? Because now we're at a point

1:10:44.240 --> 1:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>where you can't even be too sleep in bed. That

1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:53.000
<v Speaker 1>is scary, Like I'm feel afraid for black men, like

1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:56.320
<v Speaker 1>the police and everything I so annoying, But it's us too.

1:10:56.800 --> 1:11:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Where's that place? Where's that place of safety? It's not happening,

1:11:00.800 --> 1:11:06.559
<v Speaker 1>it's non existing. And I replied, it's disgusting that the

1:11:06.680 --> 1:11:10.800
<v Speaker 1>outcome of this piece. It's disgusting. It's disgusting, and I

1:11:10.880 --> 1:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>just want to know how long it's gonna lie. And

1:11:13.479 --> 1:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, black women show up for everybody else too,

1:11:17.720 --> 1:11:25.479
<v Speaker 1>everybody we don't we get talked about. But where is

1:11:25.520 --> 1:11:28.519
<v Speaker 1>a place of safety for a black female? And I'm

1:11:28.560 --> 1:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>not anywhere? Yeah, Um, I agree with everything that that

1:11:33.479 --> 1:11:35.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody is saying, But I think we're all in the

1:11:35.680 --> 1:11:39.080
<v Speaker 1>same boat it comes to racism in America. You know,

1:11:39.120 --> 1:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>it's a system that's against black people. It was never

1:11:41.400 --> 1:11:44.000
<v Speaker 1>designed for black people. And we are all in this together,

1:11:44.040 --> 1:11:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's what I think we all need to understand.

1:11:46.400 --> 1:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>You know that there was a black man in that

1:11:49.000 --> 1:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>house with her who actually defended her and his residence,

1:11:51.600 --> 1:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>and I'm shocked that he's alive. And that's the situation

1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:56.400
<v Speaker 1>that as a black man, I pray I'm never in

1:11:56.720 --> 1:11:58.760
<v Speaker 1>NV I know, you pray you're never in it, you

1:11:58.760 --> 1:12:00.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like, we never, even though we

1:12:00.640 --> 1:12:02.439
<v Speaker 1>will defend our families, we don't ever want to be

1:12:02.439 --> 1:12:05.880
<v Speaker 1>in that situation. You know. Let's go to another We

1:12:05.880 --> 1:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>do want to talk about black women in particular. This morning.

1:12:08.680 --> 1:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>They have a whole organization called Say Her Name that

1:12:11.200 --> 1:12:14.000
<v Speaker 1>started because there's so many black women that were killed

1:12:14.280 --> 1:12:18.439
<v Speaker 1>by police officers and people don't talk about it as much. Well,

1:12:18.479 --> 1:12:21.880

<v Speaker 1>have a Taylor could have been could have been my daughter. Um,

1:12:43.040 --> 1:12:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm a professional. I grew up, you know, in hard times.

1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I've overcome a lot. But I just feel like as

1:12:49.120 --> 1:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>being a professional, as being a mother, I always have

1:12:52.240 --> 1:12:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to I always have to have that guard up. I

1:12:55.040 --> 1:12:58.439
<v Speaker 1>always have to go the extra mouth. It's exhausting. And

1:12:58.520 --> 1:13:03.560
<v Speaker 1>then just to just to come to be the revelation

1:13:03.760 --> 1:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's just not enough, It's just not enough. My

1:13:09.479 --> 1:13:13.400
<v Speaker 1>heart goes out to Brianna Taylor's family just, you know,

1:13:13.439 --> 1:13:16.599
<v Speaker 1>just the thought that your child's life does not matter

1:13:16.960 --> 1:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>in a country that you help built. Right, Well, thank

1:13:20.200 --> 1:13:23.000

<v Speaker 1>oh five one phone line to wide open call us.

1:13:25.520 --> 1:13:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Now it's the Breakfast Club, Goal Morning Morning. Everybody is

1:13:28.120 --> 1:13:32.920
<v Speaker 1>DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagnicay. We are the Breakfast Usually

1:13:32.920 --> 1:13:36.120
<v Speaker 1>this is where we do ask ye, but today we're

1:13:36.120 --> 1:13:39.120
<v Speaker 1>doing things a little different, right, Yes, today we have

1:13:39.400 --> 1:13:41.479
<v Speaker 1>black women We want you to call in and just

1:13:42.200 --> 1:13:44.400
<v Speaker 1>tell us your thoughts. You know, we talk about black

1:13:44.400 --> 1:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>women being neglected, being disrespected in this country, even financially.

1:13:49.439 --> 1:13:52.120
<v Speaker 1>The Crown Act just recently is about to go to

1:13:52.160 --> 1:13:55.439
<v Speaker 1>the Senate now, and even our hair being and I

1:13:55.520 --> 1:13:57.439
<v Speaker 1>know it might be something that some people might think

1:13:57.479 --> 1:14:01.320
<v Speaker 1>of as small, but being discriminated again because of how

1:14:01.360 --> 1:14:03.160
<v Speaker 1>your hair is warned so much that we had to

1:14:03.160 --> 1:14:05.680
<v Speaker 1>pass a Crown Act or work on getting something like

1:14:05.760 --> 1:14:09.240
<v Speaker 1>that passed. Um. So it's just so many different things. Um.

1:14:09.600 --> 1:14:11.519
<v Speaker 1>More than eighty percent of black women are heads of

1:14:11.560 --> 1:14:13.679
<v Speaker 1>their household too in the United States, and I wanted

1:14:13.720 --> 1:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>to point that out as well. So the fact that

1:14:15.760 --> 1:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>we make sixty two cents on the dollar in comparison

1:14:18.960 --> 1:14:20.679
<v Speaker 1>to white men but still have to be the heads

1:14:20.680 --> 1:14:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of households, Imagine what that does for an entire family.

1:14:23.880 --> 1:14:25.599
<v Speaker 1>So we want to get your thoughts on what's going

1:14:25.680 --> 1:14:27.759
<v Speaker 1>on here. All right, Well, let's go to the phone

1:14:27.760 --> 1:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>on Hello. Who's this Hey? This is Nicole, Hey, Nicole,

1:14:31.160 --> 1:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>what are you calling from? Nicole? Hey, I'm actually falling

1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>from Kentucky. How are you all? I'm blessed black and

1:14:37.720 --> 1:14:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Holly favorite, how are you? How's it out there? What's

1:14:39.520 --> 1:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the energy? Like right now it's morning time, so it's

1:14:42.360 --> 1:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the energy. You know, it's kind of still I'm definitely

1:14:45.320 --> 1:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>like hurt. Like I was playing before Heath and came

1:14:47.840 --> 1:14:50.160
<v Speaker 1>out and said it because it's kind of like, you know,

1:14:50.160 --> 1:14:53.479
<v Speaker 1>everybody pretty much knew, you know, once they took the settlement.

1:14:54.000 --> 1:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know they're still protesting. They you know,

1:14:57.400 --> 1:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>of course they want them charged, but you know, it's

1:15:00.720 --> 1:15:02.759
<v Speaker 1>just it's very sad. And I just wanted to also

1:15:02.840 --> 1:15:06.559
<v Speaker 1>say that I do agree with Lebron James tweaked because

1:15:06.600 --> 1:15:08.439
<v Speaker 1>it is hard for a black woman. It's like we

1:15:08.479 --> 1:15:10.559
<v Speaker 1>have to go out in the world and fight the

1:15:10.600 --> 1:15:13.120
<v Speaker 1>world and you know, try to make it and be successful.

1:15:13.160 --> 1:15:15.040
<v Speaker 1>You gotta so called fake you to you make it,

1:15:15.320 --> 1:15:17.479
<v Speaker 1>and then you come in at home. You gotta have

1:15:17.600 --> 1:15:19.320
<v Speaker 1>peace in your home. Makes you got peace at home.

1:15:19.400 --> 1:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>So you know, it's just really hard and if we

1:15:22.120 --> 1:15:25.880
<v Speaker 1>just stick together, you know. But um, right now, like

1:15:25.920 --> 1:15:28.639
<v Speaker 1>I said, they're everything's like kind of people. We gotta

1:15:28.680 --> 1:15:31.639
<v Speaker 1>nine o'clock curfew for the next couple of days. Um,

1:15:31.720 --> 1:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And I mean that's pretty much it at the moment.

1:15:34.840 --> 1:15:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I can say that. So day Yep, it's pretty fat. Yes,

1:15:40.760 --> 1:15:43.479
<v Speaker 1>it is all right. Well, thank you mama. How let

1:15:43.520 --> 1:15:46.200

1:15:55.439 --> 1:15:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Did you just you You never know what a hole

1:15:57.960 --> 1:16:00.559
<v Speaker 1>it is going to fool you over that day? Um,

1:16:00.640 --> 1:16:06.559
<v Speaker 1>our life is let's have in a life. I guess um.

1:16:06.560 --> 1:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean granted being for the safety of the family.

1:16:09.360 --> 1:16:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You know that was behind the will. But at the

1:16:11.920 --> 1:16:14.439
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, I knew what was going to happen. Um.

1:16:14.479 --> 1:16:17.360
<v Speaker 1>I have a family member who you know, she kind

1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:21.879
<v Speaker 1>of sort of works within the um ga here um

1:16:22.000 --> 1:16:24.439
<v Speaker 1>in North Carolina, and you know, we talk about it

1:16:24.479 --> 1:16:27.200
<v Speaker 1>every day. I have a friend who's been the healthcare field,

1:16:27.280 --> 1:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>so she deals with ancients with mental health, and you know,

1:16:30.120 --> 1:16:32.320
<v Speaker 1>we were into trying to talk about it every day.

1:16:32.520 --> 1:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm low key in education, so it's like, as a

1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>black woman, like what what more can we do? This?

1:16:39.000 --> 1:16:42.599
<v Speaker 1>This is really drained. It's just really drenking. We just

1:16:42.600 --> 1:16:49.040
<v Speaker 1>need them. And I have my way to work now,

1:16:49.160 --> 1:16:50.920
<v Speaker 1>I work with kids. I meant to out here. I'm

1:16:50.920 --> 1:16:53.000
<v Speaker 1>on my way to work. Now I have to get

1:16:53.040 --> 1:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>ready to put the smile on my face for parents.

1:16:54.960 --> 1:17:01.280
<v Speaker 1>But I am trying imagine, imagine what Angelie said just now.

1:17:01.280 --> 1:17:03.840
<v Speaker 1>It's very important. It is about support. And I just

1:17:03.840 --> 1:17:06.439
<v Speaker 1>don't want black women to feel like they're alone, because

1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:09.200
<v Speaker 1>that could Brianna Taylor. That could be our wife, our daughter,

1:17:09.400 --> 1:17:12.439
<v Speaker 1>or still mother. Things like this, Yep, when things like

1:17:12.479 --> 1:17:14.760
<v Speaker 1>this happened to Brianna Taylor and impacts us all there

1:17:14.800 --> 1:17:16.639
<v Speaker 1>is no Black women have it worse when it comes

1:17:16.680 --> 1:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>to racism. Black men have it worse when it comes

1:17:19.120 --> 1:17:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to racism. We have a whole system against us, a

1:17:22.840 --> 1:17:26.040
<v Speaker 1>whole system oppressing us, a whole system that isn't providing

1:17:26.040 --> 1:17:28.160
<v Speaker 1>justice for any of us. So I don't want systems

1:17:28.160 --> 1:17:30.120
<v Speaker 1>to feel like they're alone. Because for every Brianna Taylor,

1:17:30.160 --> 1:17:32.240
<v Speaker 1>thats a George Floyd, for every Sandra bland As, a

1:17:32.240 --> 1:17:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Filando cast deal, for every Natasha mckinned as the Tamir Rice.

1:17:35.120 --> 1:17:37.360
<v Speaker 1>So yes, I want this is defense, get it off

1:17:37.400 --> 1:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>their chest. But I need everyone to know black people

1:17:40.280 --> 1:17:43.280
<v Speaker 1>we are in this together. The system is against us,

1:17:43.920 --> 1:17:45.840
<v Speaker 1>and while y'are fighting, we as black men are here

1:17:45.880 --> 1:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>to defend y'all, because I'm gonna die by mind. And

1:17:47.800 --> 1:17:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think America understands the position they are putting

1:17:50.920 --> 1:17:52.640
<v Speaker 1>us in as black people. I really don't think they

1:17:52.680 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>get it, all right. And I want to recommend a

1:17:55.160 --> 1:17:57.600
<v Speaker 1>book that I just started reading. It's called Invisible No

1:17:57.680 --> 1:18:00.080
<v Speaker 1>More Please. Violence against Black Women and Women of Color

1:18:00.200 --> 1:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>is by Andrew or Richie, So just to get some

1:18:02.760 --> 1:18:05.439
<v Speaker 1>more insight into the history of what's going on in

1:18:05.439 --> 1:18:09.240
<v Speaker 1>our country. And yeah, that's just the support that we

1:18:09.280 --> 1:18:12.400
<v Speaker 1>need for people to pay attention when it's black women. Also,

1:18:13.120 --> 1:18:15.400
<v Speaker 1>all right, we got rooms on the way. What we're

1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about, Yes, and let's talk about Kanye West. You know,

1:18:18.400 --> 1:18:21.439
<v Speaker 1>he's been calling out these labels and he got called

1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:23.439
<v Speaker 1>out as well. So here's what he said he's about

1:18:23.479 --> 1:18:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to do for good music artists. All right, we'll get

1:18:25.960 --> 1:18:28.360
<v Speaker 1>into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the

1:18:28.600 --> 1:18:38.679
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report with Angela, Yes Breast.

1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:44.160
<v Speaker 1>So Kanye West has promised to return his fifty percent

1:18:44.200 --> 1:18:48.439
<v Speaker 1>share of all good music Artists masters, and he actually

1:18:48.520 --> 1:18:50.880
<v Speaker 1>challenged Universal to do the same. He said, I'm giving

1:18:50.880 --> 1:18:53.040
<v Speaker 1>all good music artists back the fifty percent share. I

1:18:53.080 --> 1:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>have of their masters. Now, let's have Universal match me.

1:18:58.720 --> 1:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>If Kanye doesn't fall through with that, then we know

1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:03.439
<v Speaker 1>he's full of it because he didn't tell people that

1:19:03.479 --> 1:19:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he owned the masters to his good music artists when

1:19:05.760 --> 1:19:08.320
<v Speaker 1>he initially went on his rant. So all good music

1:19:08.479 --> 1:19:11.120
<v Speaker 1>artists need to save that tweet. Not sure, it's not

1:19:11.160 --> 1:19:12.720
<v Speaker 1>sure it's good in the court of law, but save

1:19:12.800 --> 1:19:16.720
<v Speaker 1>it anyway. Well, he's been talking so crazy, he has

1:19:16.760 --> 1:19:19.240
<v Speaker 1>to stay on staying on his word right now. Big

1:19:19.280 --> 1:19:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Sear responded, Big Searan responded, thank you, This would help

1:19:22.680 --> 1:19:25.320
<v Speaker 1>so much, and Designer said thanks, and he put the

1:19:25.479 --> 1:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred emoji. I hate knowing what I know, but

1:19:30.000 --> 1:19:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I wish Kanye West would tell people the whole truth.

1:19:32.400 --> 1:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Like he's not telling folks that he renegotiated with def

1:19:35.600 --> 1:19:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Jam Universal four times and chose the money over his

1:19:39.040 --> 1:19:41.360
<v Speaker 1>masters every time. He's also not telling people that he

1:19:41.400 --> 1:19:44.280
<v Speaker 1>owns the masters the Jesus and every album after that

1:19:44.360 --> 1:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>he's talking about slavery is a choice. No, signing those

1:19:46.920 --> 1:19:50.479
<v Speaker 1>record contracts he signed is a choice. That was really it.

1:19:51.439 --> 1:19:53.880
<v Speaker 1>He also tweeted out, I'm not releasing nothing on Gap

1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>till I'm on the board, and he said, I'm wearing

1:19:55.920 --> 1:19:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan's till I'm on the board of Adidas. I was

1:19:58.640 --> 1:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>confused with that. You have your own sneakers. It's not

1:20:01.000 --> 1:20:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like you have a part now. You have your own sneaker.

1:20:03.120 --> 1:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>You're not an in door serve Adidas. You have your

1:20:05.040 --> 1:20:07.720
<v Speaker 1>own Adidas, and you want to wear Jordan maybe just

1:20:07.760 --> 1:20:09.439
<v Speaker 1>like George Better. I don't know, or at least he's

1:20:09.439 --> 1:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>wearing another black man sneak. And I just want the

1:20:11.120 --> 1:20:13.560
<v Speaker 1>record to show that I sit on the board of

1:20:13.600 --> 1:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the Black Effect podcast network and network, and I am

1:20:15.760 --> 1:20:18.080
<v Speaker 1>a majority owner of with iHeartRadio. But you know, those

1:20:18.080 --> 1:20:20.439
<v Speaker 1>type of things have to be negotiated beforehand. But what

1:20:20.520 --> 1:20:23.439
<v Speaker 1>do I know? All right now, Ed Sharon, As you know,

1:20:23.479 --> 1:20:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it is being sued and that is for using Marvin

1:20:27.200 --> 1:20:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Gays Let's get it on for his twenty fourteen song

1:20:29.840 --> 1:20:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Thinking out Loud using the harmony, melody and rhythmic components.

1:20:34.120 --> 1:20:36.720
<v Speaker 1>So I want to play both songs and I want

1:20:36.720 --> 1:20:49.559
<v Speaker 1>to hear if you think that this is official. So honey,

1:20:49.680 --> 1:21:05.360
<v Speaker 1>nah take man timing off of the F stop sounds

1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:08.519
<v Speaker 1>very similar. Oh, I can definitely hear some some what

1:21:08.520 --> 1:21:11.880
<v Speaker 1>do you call it an interpolation? That you could definitely

1:21:11.920 --> 1:21:13.920
<v Speaker 1>have some Marvin Gaye is shit in it. So so

1:21:14.000 --> 1:21:16.040
<v Speaker 1>what are they doing on this norm Well, at Sharon's

1:21:16.160 --> 1:21:18.559
<v Speaker 1>at Sharon is responding to the lawsuit, and he responded

1:21:18.600 --> 1:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>when it first was filed. He said that the core

1:21:21.160 --> 1:21:24.439
<v Speaker 1>progressions and drum patterns were extremely commonplace in the public

1:21:24.479 --> 1:21:27.360
<v Speaker 1>domain and unprotectable. All right, Well, the song Let's Get

1:21:27.360 --> 1:21:29.400
<v Speaker 1>It On was actually co written by Ted Towns, and

1:21:29.479 --> 1:21:31.080
<v Speaker 1>so it's the Towns in the state that is seeking

1:21:31.120 --> 1:21:33.240
<v Speaker 1>songwriting credit and they want a portion of the revenue

1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:36.320
<v Speaker 1>from the song. Now, Townsend family did file this lawsuit

1:21:36.360 --> 1:21:39.640
<v Speaker 1>against Sharon back in twenty sixteen, and a couple of

1:21:39.720 --> 1:21:43.479
<v Speaker 1>days ago, Ed Townsend's daughter, Catherine Townsend just spoke out

1:21:43.479 --> 1:21:47.240
<v Speaker 1>about this, and she said, theft and bullying has been

1:21:47.280 --> 1:21:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the only priority of the record label's agenda. It stopped today,

1:21:50.200 --> 1:21:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Sony Atlantic and all the rest of them. We're coming

1:21:52.240 --> 1:21:54.479
<v Speaker 1>for our forty acres in the mule plus an interest

1:21:54.760 --> 1:21:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and know that we're not going to be silent. It

1:21:56.360 --> 1:21:58.760
<v Speaker 1>don't stop till my casket dropped. Yeah. Ed is a

1:21:58.800 --> 1:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>great guy. He's not a vulture, he's not a thief.

1:22:01.920 --> 1:22:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So I'm sure Ed would rectify that situation if if

1:22:05.240 --> 1:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>there is indeed a problem, all right now, Academics says

1:22:09.960 --> 1:22:12.920
<v Speaker 1>he had a conversation with Quavo and Offset, and that's

1:22:12.960 --> 1:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>after he was saying that the megos fell off. And

1:22:15.680 --> 1:22:17.760
<v Speaker 1>here's what he had to say about their conversation. I

1:22:17.760 --> 1:22:19.599
<v Speaker 1>spoke to off Set your suit to my man off Set,

1:22:19.800 --> 1:22:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not gonna lie yo. I want to really

1:22:22.080 --> 1:22:25.800
<v Speaker 1>give him credit for being mad or reasonable and understanding

1:22:25.840 --> 1:22:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and saying, hey, yo, listen. I listened to the segment

1:22:28.800 --> 1:22:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and I felt you were saying something that we needed

1:22:32.080 --> 1:22:34.679
<v Speaker 1>to hear. He literally said, I want you to expound

1:22:34.720 --> 1:22:37.519
<v Speaker 1>on those things. And we had like about thirty minute

1:22:37.520 --> 1:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>conversation where for the most part he was listening. He

1:22:40.160 --> 1:22:43.080
<v Speaker 1>was like yeah. He asked me what feels different, what

1:22:43.280 --> 1:22:45.799
<v Speaker 1>looks different? Why? Why do you think this is happening?

1:22:45.840 --> 1:22:48.240
<v Speaker 1>And for him, it was about gaining information, all right,

1:22:48.680 --> 1:22:52.479
<v Speaker 1>y'all nothing to worry about there, y'all putting too much

1:22:52.520 --> 1:22:55.680
<v Speaker 1>pressure on artists. Man Mego's been around for damn near

1:22:55.720 --> 1:22:58.800
<v Speaker 1>a decade. They have changed hip hop, you know, like

1:22:58.800 --> 1:23:02.200
<v Speaker 1>like you're not gonna be that red hot artist every year.

1:23:02.280 --> 1:23:04.960
<v Speaker 1>You can only hope to be consistent. And I would

1:23:04.960 --> 1:23:07.280
<v Speaker 1>think the Megals were consistent. They they put out solo

1:23:07.320 --> 1:23:11.040
<v Speaker 1>albums last year. Could just have like a clout with

1:23:11.120 --> 1:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Cardi B last year, Like I don't. I don't just

1:23:13.880 --> 1:23:16.679
<v Speaker 1>say that they fell off. They had. They haven't fell

1:23:16.720 --> 1:23:18.400
<v Speaker 1>off now, they haven't fell off. And they stayed consistent.

1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:20.120
<v Speaker 1>They stay in the clubs, they stay in their lane,

1:23:20.120 --> 1:23:22.760
<v Speaker 1>they stay on the radio. They all consistent. Plus there's

1:23:22.800 --> 1:23:24.720
<v Speaker 1>a COVID year. We don't know what artists would have

1:23:24.720 --> 1:23:28.040
<v Speaker 1>been doing, you know, if they weren't sitting at home.

1:23:28.920 --> 1:23:31.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm saying, like, I don't, I think y'all

1:23:31.240 --> 1:23:33.840
<v Speaker 1>putting too much pressure on folks man. All right, And

1:23:33.920 --> 1:23:36.479
<v Speaker 1>Kodak Black is asking Donald Term for help. He wants

1:23:36.520 --> 1:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>him to commute his prison sentence. His attorneys sent a

1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:43.200
<v Speaker 1>petition to Trump and they're asking to cut Kodak a

1:23:43.240 --> 1:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a break. And so they said that

1:23:45.400 --> 1:23:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Kodak was sentence forty six months behind bars in his

1:23:48.080 --> 1:23:50.920
<v Speaker 1>federal guncase. They said they average sentence for that is

1:23:50.960 --> 1:23:54.360
<v Speaker 1>eighteen months. So they're just asking for some help. And

1:23:54.400 --> 1:23:56.400
<v Speaker 1>actually called that Black's attorney was a contestant on The

1:23:56.479 --> 1:23:59.479
<v Speaker 1>Apprentice Away back in two thousand and five. Trump probably

1:23:59.520 --> 1:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like black commute blacks all the time. We've commute blacks

1:24:02.000 --> 1:24:04.160
<v Speaker 1>through the first step back. I'm not commuting anymore blacks.

1:24:04.800 --> 1:24:06.840
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well I'm Angela Yee and that is your

1:24:06.960 --> 1:24:10.200
<v Speaker 1>rumor reports. All right, shout to revote. We'll see you tomorrow.

1:24:10.200 --> 1:24:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else to People's Choice mixes up. Next, it's the

1:24:12.400 --> 1:24:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

1:24:21.640 --> 1:24:24.840
<v Speaker 1>got a shout to Mike Hill for joining us this morning. Yeah.

1:24:25.360 --> 1:24:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael Hell his book Open Mic, and he is pretty

1:24:28.880 --> 1:24:30.920
<v Speaker 1>honest on there. He says some things in that book

1:24:31.000 --> 1:24:33.640
<v Speaker 1>that I was like, Wow, Mike, I can't believe you

1:24:33.640 --> 1:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>would like this. But I love all black people, especially

1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:42.120
<v Speaker 1>black men, holding themselves accountable for any of our past bs.

1:24:42.200 --> 1:24:44.919
<v Speaker 1>And I think that we have to create safe spaces

1:24:45.240 --> 1:24:48.280
<v Speaker 1>for black men to be able to express their brokenness

1:24:48.320 --> 1:24:53.800
<v Speaker 1>without being a quote unquote canceled whatever that means. All right, Well,

1:24:53.840 --> 1:24:55.519
