Speaker 1: oh next to okay okay. It starts off with them
Speaker 1: fighting on stage, and then it flashes back to how
Speaker 1: they got there. They fought a lot, but you gotta

Speaker 1: the time, and who knew short as Michael Bivens was
Speaker 1: such a right but let people let me see let
Speaker 1: people see them. Goodness, gracious, Mike Bivins. Mike not only

Speaker 1: record label boys, the Men, another bad creation like Michael's. Mike.
Speaker 1: Michael's that guy and had a wicked jump shot. I
Speaker 1: wanted to play him in a biopic, but he gave
Speaker 1: it to Hakim from me. He did a play basketball either.

Speaker 1: Wh okay, and let's keep it real. Emmy's the one
Speaker 1: to be on jay Z's d I mean that is
Speaker 1: a fact. That is a fact. Shout the whole It's
Speaker 1: time for whole mix day? Should I do a whole mixday? Hey,
Speaker 1: do what you do right, Rockefeller, Hove mix and nine
Speaker 1: what you gotta do Rockefeller? Shut up? All right, let's
Speaker 1: get the show Cracker Morning. Everybody is dj MG Angela Ye,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the god. We are the breakfast club. That was Drake.
Speaker 1: Now let's get in some front page news. Now, let's talk.
Speaker 1: Let's talk. Let's talk Obama's final press conference. Yes, so
Speaker 1: Obama had his parting words and he's been having a
Speaker 1: lot of these, by the way, well this is his
Speaker 1: final press conference, news conference. Like you with birthday parties,
Speaker 1: agu I know, well, you know it is January. Shout
Speaker 1: out to all the capricorns. But here is what he
Speaker 1: has to say about our new president that's will be
Speaker 1: in office soon, Donald Trump. They're going to be certain
Speaker 1: elements of his temperament that will not serve him well,
Speaker 1: unless he recognizes them and corrects them. When you're a
Speaker 1: candidate and you say something that is inaccurate or controversial,
Speaker 1: it has less impact than it does when year president
Speaker 1: of United States. Y'all watching O'Reilly Factor last night, and
Speaker 1: Bill O'Reilly was talking about how he doesn't remember George W.
Speaker 1: Bush saying anything like that about Barack Obama when he
Speaker 1: was coming in the office, even though he know he
Speaker 1: had his issues with Barack. But the reason I felt
Speaker 1: like it was nothing wrong when President Obama said, because
Speaker 1: Donald Trump says all of these things publicly. We all
Speaker 1: know he has a terrible temperament. We see it on
Speaker 1: social media, we see when he does this press conferenation.
Speaker 1: So I had no problem with Barack expressing that disdain
Speaker 1: for that action those actions publicly right, And I think
Speaker 1: a lot of people feel that way absolutely. You know.
Speaker 1: I think the main thing is he's not trying to
Speaker 1: bash him. He's just saying, hey, when you're the president,
Speaker 1: you have to be held account vote he's addressing with
Speaker 1: the world sees right, and you have to allow press
Speaker 1: people to ask you questions, even if you don't like
Speaker 1: the questions that they're asking you. Do that're going to
Speaker 1: challenge you, and that's part of being the president. You know.
Speaker 1: The funny thing is when we go do interviews or
Speaker 1: people ask us questions, they always say, is there anything
Speaker 1: I can't ask? And I always say no, because we're
Speaker 1: able to ask any artists whatever they want and they
Speaker 1: can reply with whatever they want. We got to take
Speaker 1: it because that's what we did, and you can always say,
Speaker 1: next question. I don't really want to discuss that right now. Correct.
Speaker 1: Now's not a problems. And President Barack Obama also feels
Speaker 1: like we'll have any type of president in the future. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have a woman president, We're gonna have a
Speaker 1: Latino president, We'll have a Jewish president, a Hindu president.
Speaker 1: Who knows who we're gonna have. I suspect we'll have
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of mixed up presidents at some point
Speaker 1: that nobody really knows what to call. I felt that way.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I feel that way now. It
Speaker 1: still happened. I thought he was about to go have
Speaker 1: that trend of different kind of presidents, but we're back
Speaker 1: to stale, pale, white male. We got another clip. Yeah,
Speaker 1: one last thing, because a lot of people are concerned
Speaker 1: about the future. But our President Barack Obama is saying,
Speaker 1: don't you worry. I believe tragic things happen. I think
Speaker 1: there's evil in the world, but I think that at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if we work hard and
Speaker 1: if we're true to those things in us, that the
Speaker 1: world gets a little better each time. This is not
Speaker 1: just a matter of no drama, Obama, this is this
Speaker 1: is what I really believe at my core. I think
Speaker 1: we're gonna be okay. We just have to fight for it.
Speaker 1: We have to work for it and not take it
Speaker 1: for granted. That's true. We got to be the change
Speaker 1: we want to see in the world. I don't see
Speaker 1: no reason not to be optimistic, right I don't. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna wake up every morning and be pessimistic and say, oh,
Speaker 1: always me the world's coming to it and like, no,
Speaker 1: go out there and unite. I'll be at the Women's
Speaker 1: March by the way on Saturday, Yes, yes, I said,
Speaker 1: at this point, it's gonna be about four hundred thousand
Speaker 1: people going dope. I'm gonna be in the area. I

Speaker 1: So the news is that Chrissette Michelle is set to
Speaker 1: perform at Donald Trump's inauguration Cricket Now, allegedly she's been
Speaker 1: planning this for about a week, but it's been a
Speaker 1: secret because her whole camp is scared of the criticism
Speaker 1: that she'll get once everybody found out, which they have
Speaker 1: found out. Now. I saw a quest Love tweeted out
Speaker 1: that he would pay her to not perform an inauguration.
Speaker 1: I was looking at who is actually going to show
Speaker 1: up and perform, and it looks like some struggle. Who
Speaker 1: is all right? So we see, Um, the rock Cats
Speaker 1: are going to be there. Toby Keach is going to
Speaker 1: be performing also, I see Actually chrissept Michelle was supposed
Speaker 1: to perform with singers Travis Green and Jonathan McReynolds and
Speaker 1: Ti Tribette. That's who she was on BT Celebration of

Speaker 1: old Motown singer and Lee Greenwood and also Bruce Springsteen's
Speaker 1: cover band, the B Street Band j Christ's supposed to perform,
Speaker 1: but they actually withdrew because the real band for Bruce
Speaker 1: Springsteen actually had a problem with that, so they just
Speaker 1: withdrew from that. You can tell popularity ain't gonna be

Speaker 1: is the perfect introduction to hard work as a man.

Speaker 1: Not only did you acknowledge it, you went and did
Speaker 1: something about it, brought the people on disgusted and engage it.

Speaker 1: frisk after he had gotten shot at his CID. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then he had to come back and say that
Speaker 1: he also missed. It was an emotional of course, that
Speaker 1: essential misery leads to you know, political transformation. So you
Speaker 1: know something happened to you on the personal level, then
Speaker 1: you start thinking about it. A woman loses a son
Speaker 1: in the war, and all of a sudden she becomes
Speaker 1: a serious activist because that that impacts you in the
Speaker 1: way it never did before. You own a Corvette, you
Speaker 1: start looking at Corvette. You want a Mercedes, You start
Speaker 1: looking at Mercedes. So it makes sense that what happens
Speaker 1: to you personally will impact what you think about the world. Well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about something that's affecting us all personally, which
Speaker 1: is the Trump presidency. Wow, that's that's just still a
Speaker 1: amazing to say. That is what are we doing a
Speaker 1: post Trump society? And I'm sure you addressed that in
Speaker 1: your new dud because we cannot stop a serving the
Speaker 1: white people sermon to white America. Yeah, you're you're right
Speaker 1: on it. I think, Look, we got to be honest
Speaker 1: about who Trump is. See, first of all, white brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters. I don't want nobody telling me nothing about
Speaker 1: affirmative action normal because this dude, doun killed the game.
Speaker 1: Here's a guy who is radically incompetent, incapable of exercising
Speaker 1: the gravitas, that is the seriousness necessary to exercise that office.
Speaker 1: You ain't never had a public position as dog catcher,
Speaker 1: much less president of the United States of America. You
Speaker 1: challenge the legitimacy of one of the smartest presidents we've
Speaker 1: ever had in Barack Hussein Obama, and you, with your
Speaker 1: thin skin, can't even endure a critique from a person
Speaker 1: like John Lewis to say you're illegitimate. And all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, this is the first Toddler presidency. This is
Speaker 1: the first president presidency where a childish mentality, where an
Speaker 1: infantile sense of will prevail. But the fact is he
Speaker 1: is the president. We have to acknowledge that. And I
Speaker 1: know we're gonna get into this, so I'm gonna jump
Speaker 1: into it right away. Yes, love a man, Steve Harvey,
Speaker 1: love Kanye love all the people. I love Jim Brown,
Speaker 1: and I love Ray Lewis. Look, and ain't no problem.
Speaker 1: I ain't no problem with them going to talk to
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. But understand, as TI said, how you're being positioned.
Speaker 1: Are you on the menu? Are you eating at the table?
Speaker 1: Who's playing who, who's zooming who? Sorry to go back
Speaker 1: to Reretha Franklin. The point is I had to go
Speaker 1: old school for you. But the point is this is
Speaker 1: that why is it if we go to white folks talk.
Speaker 1: Are we gonna talk to Miley Cyrus. We're gonna talk
Speaker 1: to Mitch McConnell. We're gonna deal with Britney Spears or
Speaker 1: John Bainer. So going to Steve Harvey is not in
Speaker 1: itself an intrinsic fault, but it becomes a fault in
Speaker 1: the light of You're voting John Lewis and this and him.
Speaker 1: You're voting Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, You're voting the Congressional
Speaker 1: Black Caucus. You're avoting people whose job it is to
Speaker 1: deal with the issues of public policy, of injustice, of
Speaker 1: democratic flow. Then you do an inrun around them and
Speaker 1: then go talk to a comedian and to a rapper
Speaker 1: and some football players. Dude, you're insulting us, first of all,
Speaker 1: as Deal Hugley said, maybe that's how you see us.
Speaker 1: Maybe you reduce us to being entertainers and ball players,
Speaker 1: and you can't see that we are intellectuals, and we
Speaker 1: are thinkers and politicians and reflecting on the culture in
Speaker 1: which we live. So Donald Trump wants to avoid serious
Speaker 1: black heat with high intelligence to bring him to accountability.
Speaker 1: So he'd rather talk to somebody who will come out
Speaker 1: and say, oh I had a good time meeting with him,
Speaker 1: and I ain't mat Look, let me tell you what
Speaker 1: thirty Rock a year and a half ago, maybe almost two.
Speaker 1: I'm in thirty Rock. I just was on TV dog
Speaker 1: in Donald Trump elevators. Open up you. You've been very
Speaker 1: hard on me, Donald Trump talking to you, talk talking
Speaker 1: to me. He says, You've been very tough on me,
Speaker 1: but I love you. He says, if I had your
Speaker 1: pipes and your brains, I'd be president. Now. I said,
Speaker 1: oh my god. He said, let's take a picture. You
Speaker 1: know how you do with the girls you don't really
Speaker 1: dare you know, and being a public and let's take
Speaker 1: it on the side. So we go to THEA. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying. I'm just saying I want to be in
Speaker 1: public with you like that. See I understood what Steve Harbinson.
Speaker 1: Because I don't want you to circulate this picture thinking
Speaker 1: I'm legitimating and justifying your presidential run. We take the picture.
Speaker 1: He introduces me to all of his huge throng out there.
Speaker 1: This is Michael Eric Dyson, one of the greatest minds
Speaker 1: in our country. I understand this charisma, I understand this
Speaker 1: personal pill. I'm sure individually Donald Trump's cool, but that
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the way in which he
Speaker 1: is operating an American culture to give voice to some
Speaker 1: of the most racist sensibilities. The enophobia, that's just a
Speaker 1: big term that talks about you don't like foreigners, and
Speaker 1: you don't like people coming into countries, immigrants. Some of
Speaker 1: the sexism, the predatory behavior, and here you are trying
Speaker 1: to grab a woman's kitty cat, and then you trying
Speaker 1: to blame hip hop. That ain't I ain't heard Biggie
Speaker 1: say that. Some say to X makes the sex spectacular,
Speaker 1: make me look you from your back to your neck
Speaker 1: then drug though, come on, well well, but my point
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying, we're not gonna cosmit show. But
Speaker 1: what I'm saying to you is we don't drop no mickies.
Speaker 1: But but he's also saying in terms of the X
Speaker 1: rated and he's also saying, if it's all right with
Speaker 1: you tonight, we're loving. That's securing consent. Donald Trump ain't
Speaker 1: asking nobody for consent. What he's trying to do out
Speaker 1: there is this grab it because he's a very famous figure.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, this is the sensibility of the president of
Speaker 1: the United States of America. So on every level, this
Speaker 1: guy is problematic and we cannot, as people have been saying,
Speaker 1: normalize this. We can't accept it all. Well, he's the president.
Speaker 1: First of all, stopped buying the lives. It's not a
Speaker 1: populist movement. He lost a popular election by nearly three
Speaker 1: million votes. He's going in with one of the lowest
Speaker 1: approval ratings ever of any president elect of the United
Speaker 1: States of America. Lois, it's one of the locals. What
Speaker 1: you are is an extremely lucky guy. And again the
Speaker 1: reason I said about the firm deveection. The firm invection
Speaker 1: is a good thing. But I'm saying many of the
Speaker 1: white brothers and sisters who oppose it, well, it's about
Speaker 1: people who are incompetent. You got the most incompetent PRESI
Speaker 1: and arguably in the history of the world. Shut that
Speaker 1: noise up about affirmative action. That argument is dead. We
Speaker 1: see the compensatory mechanism of whiteness that refuses to acknowledge
Speaker 1: its own limits, its own fragility, its own vulnerability, in
Speaker 1: its own innocence, right, it plays those up and refuses
Speaker 1: to be accountable. So now you put in a bunch
Speaker 1: of billionaires. What they got to do with the white
Speaker 1: working class? People say this was a white working class movement,
Speaker 1: this this election, really because they to only working class
Speaker 1: out there. We got a black working class in a
Speaker 1: brown working class. Ain't none of them voted for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I mean very few of them Brown, very few of them,
Speaker 1: very few of them. Not thirteen percent of black men
Speaker 1: did vote for Donald Trump. Dude, what you want, what
Speaker 1: you're doing? You know what that is. That's patriarchy, that's
Speaker 1: black macheese. More, that's the inability to see a woman
Speaker 1: in control. All we got more with author Michael Eric
Speaker 1: Dyson coming up, keeping locks the breakfast club, Good morning,
Speaker 1: the breakfast club that was draping one dance warning everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ N v Angela, Ye, Charlemagne, the guy we
Speaker 1: have Michael Eric Dyson in the building. Now, Ye, I've heard.
Speaker 1: I know one person, a black man that voted for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and hens rational was because he's a businessman
Speaker 1: and I have businesses and it would be better for
Speaker 1: me to have somebody that knows how to make money.
Speaker 1: Is a capitalist? Clearly, yes, as president. I mean that's
Speaker 1: the case. You got drug deals on the corner. Let's
Speaker 1: have a drug dealer presidency. I mean, let's have a
Speaker 1: hustler presidency. He is a hustler to a degree, I
Speaker 1: understand that, But how narrow is that, how self involved
Speaker 1: and invested is that? The fact is, I don't want
Speaker 1: to cast dispersions against the person you're speaking of. If
Speaker 1: I'm sure his business is thriving and booming, I'm sure
Speaker 1: he's huge. But the reality is that most people can't
Speaker 1: afford to vote for a president based upon merely their
Speaker 1: bottom line when the largest societies at sake. I bet
Speaker 1: that person you were talking to ain't richer than Warren Buffett. Nope,
Speaker 1: I bet he ain't richer than Bill Gates. And both
Speaker 1: of those men said, I'm willing to pay taxes because
Speaker 1: I'm willing to see this society put on a better
Speaker 1: path than to really shore up my bottom line. I'd
Speaker 1: rather give my money to the society in which we
Speaker 1: live through taxes than see a guy come in who
Speaker 1: will be good for my business and yet mess up
Speaker 1: the country. So what do we do next? What do
Speaker 1: we do now that he's I don't want to jump
Speaker 1: to that real quick. I want to unpack them the
Speaker 1: stuff he talked about with the people engaging Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Congressional Black Cocus, you me and John Lucas,
Speaker 1: And that's one thing I said. If I was invited
Speaker 1: to meet Trump, I wouldn't go unless I bring nonible
Speaker 1: minute for the Lewis Firecone. Don't you think it's kind
Speaker 1: of Black America's fault because the people we put up
Speaker 1: on those pedestals as our leaders are the entertainers and
Speaker 1: the athletes, and know that the picture probably wouldnt want
Speaker 1: to meet with. Sure, I mean it's our fault to
Speaker 1: a degree, but it's it's afficious cycle. Those are the
Speaker 1: people that are allowed to go. It's not like we
Speaker 1: look look at hidden figures. We got mathematicians, we got thinkers.
Speaker 1: These people have been out there for a minute, but
Speaker 1: the society doesn't see them, doesn't understand them. And guess what,
Speaker 1: we don't either. The point you're making is so brilliant.
Speaker 1: People act as if Black people have some kind of
Speaker 1: special radar that allows us to see differently than the
Speaker 1: largest society. To a certain degree, our own racial experiences
Speaker 1: condition us and make us see things from a different perspective.
Speaker 1: But we we buy the height. Two. We're watching the
Speaker 1: same TV everybody else watching. We believe Negroes ain't doing X,
Speaker 1: Y and Z. Two. We don't know what we're doing.
Speaker 1: One of the greatest consequences of white supremacy is to
Speaker 1: convince Black people not to study their own history, not
Speaker 1: to know who we are. I'm fifty eight years old.
Speaker 1: There's some stuff I'm just now learning about black people.
Speaker 1: And I got a pH d from Princes and I've
Speaker 1: been out here for a minute. I mean, for instance,
Speaker 1: when you talk about the look, I didn't know about
Speaker 1: the hidden figures, the job. Now, I didn't know that
Speaker 1: these black women were mathematicians at NASA, did you. I
Speaker 1: ain't had no England. I'm a pretty smart dude. I
Speaker 1: ain't know nothing about that. I'm telling you the variety
Speaker 1: of enterprise that black people have been involved in the
Speaker 1: stuff we've done in you know, wars and in foreign
Speaker 1: countries and with languages and money. I mean, the half
Speaker 1: ain't been told. So my point is, let's be a
Speaker 1: little bit more humble and recognize that we have been miseducated,
Speaker 1: missing formed, ill educated, and don't know much about what's
Speaker 1: going on. And yes, to a certain degree, we have
Speaker 1: to be held accountable to that because it was something
Speaker 1: about hip hop, and I ain't dogging it because you know,
Speaker 1: jay Z posted yesterday about my books, so I gotta
Speaker 1: show love Jehovah and to Rick ross Rose, I know,
Speaker 1: I didn't want to jump the gun in self promotional materials,
Speaker 1: but since we're here, I'll say it. So the reality
Speaker 1: is is that I'm not dissing anybody that's doing that
Speaker 1: kind of thing. But there is something deeper and more profound.
Speaker 1: We just finished celebrating the birthday of a man named
Speaker 1: Martin's Lugene Junior, who didn't live to be forty. He
Speaker 1: had no deep ends. He ain't had no deep pockets.
Speaker 1: Well he did because he was making something like two
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in nineteen sixty three. Do you know
Speaker 1: how much money that is? He gave most of it
Speaker 1: a way to the movement, except maybe six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: He kept six thousand dollars from that salary, making two
Speaker 1: hundred grand back in sixty four. That's good money. Right now.
Speaker 1: He was speaking engagements. He's talking every day, going out
Speaker 1: and you know then he's getting four thousand dollars from
Speaker 1: being the co pastor of evany Or Baptist Church in Atlanta.
Speaker 1: For an unprincely sum of ten thousand dollars. With folk
Speaker 1: kids and a wife, he had to borrow money every
Speaker 1: year from his father to pay his taxes. Harry Belafonte
Speaker 1: put up the money for one hundred thousand dollars life
Speaker 1: insurance policy for each of his kids. This man is
Speaker 1: an American hero, arguably the greatest American whoever lived. That's
Speaker 1: why I hate when people like Kanye say things like
Speaker 1: you have to have money to make change. No. No,
Speaker 1: Martin lu King Junior had nothing, but he changed the world.
Speaker 1: Doc he changed the world now. I ain't met a
Speaker 1: people trying to get money now as a consequence of
Speaker 1: what doctor King did. Because Doctor King, at the end
Speaker 1: of his life was fighting against economic injustice. Never forget
Speaker 1: that he went to Memphis, Tennessee to side with garbage
Speaker 1: workers in Memphis, Tennessee. So this man understood economic and
Speaker 1: equality and the necessity for black people to get theirs.
Speaker 1: But don't pretend as if your pockets own swow you
Speaker 1: the best person in the world. So if that's the case,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump would be the greatest man in the world.
Speaker 1: But what do we do for the next four years?
Speaker 1: Did we turn our back and try to ignore it?
Speaker 1: Or how to African American and Black people? How do
Speaker 1: we attack the situation? We do what we've always done
Speaker 1: when we ain't been in power, and that's been most
Speaker 1: of the time. Don't see we acting like Obama was
Speaker 1: the regular? No know that was that was the commercial.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a program, right, We acting like we don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. We have been out of power forever.
Speaker 1: So what do we do? We do what we always do.
Speaker 1: We go to church, We pray to God, we go
Speaker 1: to the temple, we go to the Senate God, we
Speaker 1: have a spiritual practice. We understand not to fall for
Speaker 1: the ok doough. We don't allow our most esteemed and
Speaker 1: valued entertainers to represent us if they're doing stupid stuff,
Speaker 1: we speak out against that. Look, we can even be
Speaker 1: critical of our president who's in office now, even though
Speaker 1: he's going out, we're gonna miss him for real, for real,
Speaker 1: but he wasn't perfect. And the inability of black people
Speaker 1: to even conjure a useful criticism of Obama, it's problematic,
Speaker 1: because then if I was Trump, I'd be going like, look,
Speaker 1: you had a brother in the for eight years. Ain't
Speaker 1: say nothing. Don't say Nathan to me, because I'm done.
Speaker 1: So the point is that what we've got to do.
Speaker 1: Howard Thurman and I talked about this in my book.
Speaker 1: A great mystic said, never reduce your life to the
Speaker 1: event you're facing right now. He said, if you reduce
Speaker 1: your life to the event you're facing now, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna see what's ahead of you. He said, our slave
Speaker 1: four parents were in cotton fields. They did couldn't even
Speaker 1: imagine an Obama. But what they did was imagine a
Speaker 1: future different than where they are now. I happen to
Speaker 1: be an ordained Baptist minister, so hope. You know we
Speaker 1: talk about faith, where does it go. Faith is a
Speaker 1: substance of things, hope for the evidence of things not seen.
Speaker 1: So the thing is that you're hoping for some stuff
Speaker 1: you ain't seen yet. But you never reduce your life
Speaker 1: to what you're confronting now. Divorced distress, disease, Your baby
Speaker 1: mama ain't acting right, baby daddy, ain't paying the rent
Speaker 1: on time. All that is real. It's a crisis. But
Speaker 1: don't reduce the complexity of your life and the beauty
Speaker 1: of what you are to what your events is. You
Speaker 1: are not who you are, not what you confront. You
Speaker 1: are bigger than that. So black people got to see.
Speaker 1: My pastor used to say this, we have already been
Speaker 1: through what we've come to. So if we don't came
Speaker 1: to this, and we've been through this before, it's like
Speaker 1: David with fighting in the in the Bible. You know,
Speaker 1: you're not a story about David Aglist. Here's the point.
Speaker 1: The reason David was had so much swag. It's because
Speaker 1: he's like, Okay, you big, you a giant, but I
Speaker 1: didn't kill some bears and stuff. I don't kill some
Speaker 1: lions and stuff. So when I call upon those useful
Speaker 1: memories of lion killing and bear killing, I can face
Speaker 1: this giant. So we got a giant and Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: But this is not the first giant we face. We
Speaker 1: have been through Jim Crow, Jane Crow. We have been
Speaker 1: through vicious downturns in the economy. We have been through lynching.
Speaker 1: We've been through where people spitting on us. We've been
Speaker 1: through white water founders and black waterfouncers. Part of the
Speaker 1: problem is millennials and older Black people don't even know
Speaker 1: our history, so we don't know what we've been through
Speaker 1: to know what we're capable of achieving. We got more
Speaker 1: with Michael Eric Diyson coming up in minutes keeping locked.
Speaker 1: That was Ray Sherman with Black Beetles. Now morning, everybody
Speaker 1: is DJ N v Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy. We
Speaker 1: are the breakfast club. We're talking to Michael Eric Dison.
Speaker 1: That Charlomagne. Now ask Michae about some of these boss.
Speaker 1: He might be spitting so hard. You gotta listen to
Speaker 1: some of these boss and they're so good. Now when
Speaker 1: you talked about black people, right, this is what I feel.
Speaker 1: I was talking about this yesterday. We're gonna have engagers
Speaker 1: and resistance for the next four years. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: people who choose to engage with your Trump administration and
Speaker 1: change there. That's gonna have people who just resist and say, look,
Speaker 1: let's just you know, come together ourselves. My problem is
Speaker 1: when you're engages and resistance start arguing amongst each other,
Speaker 1: and we start pointing fingers and saying, oh, he ain't
Speaker 1: black and he's another I can't get We gotta be
Speaker 1: on the same page together, especially if the any result
Speaker 1: is just the better than the black people. That's a
Speaker 1: brilliant point. That's a brilliant point because you know, when
Speaker 1: you're looking at the dog, you got somebody trying to
Speaker 1: come to the fence. You've got a pack of dogs.
Speaker 1: One dog is barking at the person trying to come
Speaker 1: over the fence. The rest of the dogs barking at
Speaker 1: the dog. And that's what you're talking about. We got
Speaker 1: dogs barking the dogs as opposed to the real threat.
Speaker 1: And I'm not interested in calling somebody an Uncle Tom
Speaker 1: and you know, Aunt Sally. I'm saying, let's be serious
Speaker 1: and conscientious about doing the work we do. Everybody. Everything
Speaker 1: ain't for everybody. So your job is what you do.
Speaker 1: My job is what I do. But here's the point, though,
Speaker 1: even if you choose Look, if Donald Trump invites you
Speaker 1: to go to the White House when he's president, go,
Speaker 1: If Donald Trump says comes, if if you're gonna go,
Speaker 1: tell him the truth, If you're going to kiss the ring,
Speaker 1: you're not really of service to us. And by the way,
Speaker 1: that was true for Obama too, all the black people
Speaker 1: that want up in there, and all you did was
Speaker 1: kiss the ring and kiss and get the full you.
Speaker 1: And I was up in there one day, Tom Joiner
Speaker 1: sitting down there challenging me. I love Tom Joiner about
Speaker 1: the book I was writing on Obama. He said, you're
Speaker 1: gonna write a book that could be critical of the president,
Speaker 1: and he said it could be critical of him. And
Speaker 1: Obama sitting right across from me, and he said, it
Speaker 1: could be critical of the president. And you could really
Speaker 1: because you were a famous black person, you could really,
Speaker 1: you could really mess this election of twenty twelve. And
Speaker 1: I said, first of all, I ain't even wrote the
Speaker 1: book here, so are you nostra Thomas I mean? And
Speaker 1: then I said, well, tell me how many book I'm
Speaker 1: gonna say because I got kids defeat. And then Obama
Speaker 1: jumped in. He's fun, he said yeah, And he's sitting
Speaker 1: here eating my food and without missing the beat because
Speaker 1: I'm nasty with this microphone and these words, I said,
Speaker 1: pay for by my text money, Oh snap sound And
Speaker 1: I said, given what I'm paying, I'm gonna be here
Speaker 1: next week. So the say this if and and me
Speaker 1: and Obama then went on to have a disagreement, very
Speaker 1: respectful because I respect him. I'm so proud of him
Speaker 1: as the first black president. I got lovey. I've known
Speaker 1: Obamas's ninety two. But I said, sir, I disagree with you.
Speaker 1: You think a rising tide lips all boats. I think
Speaker 1: that when you go to the emergency ward, you don't
Speaker 1: just get medicine. It depends on what you got. If
Speaker 1: you got to hang nail, you get aspiring. If you've
Speaker 1: got diabetes, you get insolent. If you've got cancer, you
Speaker 1: get chemotherapy. The medicine, like a public policy, should be
Speaker 1: targeted towards the ill it is meant to relieve. So
Speaker 1: my point is, I respectfully disagree with that man. When
Speaker 1: I got invited to the White House, I can honestly
Speaker 1: say I'm not on the ass kid submission. I'm on
Speaker 1: the respectfully share my disagreement with you, even as I
Speaker 1: love and embrace you and support you strategically, you think
Speaker 1: react to people respectfully disagreeing with him. Donald Trump came
Speaker 1: even he's he's I said, it's a toddler presidency. You're mean,
Speaker 1: you're nasty, you throw your bottle, and infamiliar, you're crapping
Speaker 1: your diapers, and then spread it around. He doesn't reacted
Speaker 1: at all. I think a reasonable and politics fashion to
Speaker 1: those who disagree with you. Jude, when you got numbers
Speaker 1: up in this game, you can afford to say something
Speaker 1: like Jay Z said, hollow when you ten years in
Speaker 1: the game and you got these number, hollow back until then,
Speaker 1: be quiet. John Lewis got numbers in this game. John
Speaker 1: Lewis was on the bloody you know, a bloody Sunday March,
Speaker 1: got his skull crack. John Lewis was a freedom writer.
Speaker 1: You got pictures of him bleeding, and we got Donald
Speaker 1: Trump playing squashed while my man was being squashed. So
Speaker 1: the reality is is Donald Trump doesn't understand the basic
Speaker 1: fundamental condition of our black people and for a black person,
Speaker 1: and if you are not familiar with this as an entertainer,
Speaker 1: don't go. The problem is we love fame so much
Speaker 1: we think famous people got something more to say. They
Speaker 1: can be justice dumb, justice, ill informed, justice, ignorant, justice, illiterate,
Speaker 1: and God knows, subjective criticism, and they deserved the critique.
Speaker 1: I'm not here to protect entertainers from being size when
Speaker 1: you're making money from dominant, white supremacist, capitalist American culture
Speaker 1: and you not want to remain safely ensconced in your
Speaker 1: niche of protection. You need to feel the heat of
Speaker 1: black people asking questions. I'm not talking about Steve Harvey,
Speaker 1: whom I love and those other guys, but I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if you go up in there, don't get show self played.
Speaker 1: Don't allow yourself to become part of Donald Trump's commercial.
Speaker 1: What's your purpose now? If you've got a program for
Speaker 1: the inner city, if you could try to help people.
Speaker 1: Jim Brown has been great, but Jim Brown has hays
Speaker 1: some complicated relationships with women himself. Let's just be real
Speaker 1: so we know what's going on there. So let's not
Speaker 1: try to be pollyannish about this. The reality is, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, if you go up there
Speaker 1: and then start saying how great he is, that's how
Speaker 1: greed he is as an individual. What does that have
Speaker 1: to do with how he treats black people unmasks. That's
Speaker 1: the one problem I had with Steve. It's like, this
Speaker 1: guy's been spitting nasty rhetoric for eighteen months and during
Speaker 1: much campaign, the nine Negroes access to your rental properties,
Speaker 1: and you have one meeting with Night He's great. You know,
Speaker 1: Jesus can change you in the drink twinkling of an eye.
Speaker 1: There's no question about that. But I ain't heard to
Speaker 1: come to Jesus moment, and I ain't heard the sermon,
Speaker 1: and I ain't heard the doors of the church open,
Speaker 1: and it ain't got no you know, contribution going on either.
Speaker 1: That's the point you're making is so important. These figures
Speaker 1: like I have to be have to be held accountable.
Speaker 1: So I am not against people being held accountable, but
Speaker 1: I don't want to red you ain't well. First of all,
Speaker 1: what's the time? I mean, you know, every one of
Speaker 1: us in here. At some point they called Martins, King
Speaker 1: Junior and Uncle Tom. Malcolm xld him called come you
Speaker 1: Robinson and Uncle toown. And I love Malcolm X, but
Speaker 1: you up in Harlem to fight in Birmingham, Hell, Harlem,
Speaker 1: that's where negroes are. There's love. The fight is in Birmingham, sir,
Speaker 1: that's where they're killing negroes. Now you go down there
Speaker 1: and you oppose them. I my laker, and I love
Speaker 1: Malcolm X. What Malcolm X did is non parred. What
Speaker 1: Malcolm X did in terms of reviving the black conscience
Speaker 1: and consciousness is incredible. But stop the name calling. Because
Speaker 1: Howard Thurman said this. You can go the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 1: You can dip your glass in the Atlantic Ocean. It
Speaker 1: may be full of the Atlantic Ocean, it ain't all
Speaker 1: the Atlantic Ocean. You may be full of the truth,
Speaker 1: but you ain't got all the truth. We need each other.
Speaker 1: Let's stop the name calling, but let's up the ante
Speaker 1: and be responsible for what we do. I got one
Speaker 1: question for you, go why do you dedicate your book
Speaker 1: the Solange Beyonce and Tina Tholes For several reasons. First
Speaker 1: of all, I love them right, I'm I'm on the
Speaker 1: bee hive. I called myself a pinker Smith went no
Speaker 1: call girl. I am hend the peg. I am hend
Speaker 1: peg like a big girl. What did you say, Queen, Yes,
Speaker 1: ma'am give me my marching orders. I don't care. I
Speaker 1: love what Beyonce has done to leverage her authority as
Speaker 1: the world's greatest entertainer in behalf of black people. Now
Speaker 1: she does it for as a global humanitarian for all
Speaker 1: kind of people. I'm not mad at that, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying she also understands that she doesn't have to sacrifice
Speaker 1: her own commitment to her own blackness in order to
Speaker 1: be in a human being. That's number one number two.
Speaker 1: I love what Solange is, don't with her latest album.
Speaker 1: I love that Afro Bohemian I vante guard beauty that
Speaker 1: she represents intellectually and spiritually and willingness to engage people
Speaker 1: and not take no guff. And I love the Mama
Speaker 1: who shape both of them, both as an entrepreneur and
Speaker 1: as an entertainer. You know their nurture of an entertainer
Speaker 1: and as a matriarch. But let me tell you why
Speaker 1: I did it as well. No disrespect to the Kardashians,
Speaker 1: but god dang it, I'm tired. If we're gonna celebrate,
Speaker 1: I'm tired of women who are being celebrated without acknowledging
Speaker 1: the incredible durability, genius, and creativity of what Black women
Speaker 1: have done. So I wanted to choose this trio of
Speaker 1: transformative women to celebrate and uplift what they have done,
Speaker 1: their commitment to our people, their commitment to our world,
Speaker 1: They're humanitarian and entrepreneur efforts, and their fundamental gut bucket
Speaker 1: love unapologetically for the people from whose wounds they emerged.
Speaker 1: Your book about to shoot the number one because Black
Speaker 1: Women about the Naked Golden Love, y'all. I did write
Speaker 1: a book called While I Love Black Women, I love
Speaker 1: all the women in the world. I'm from the seventy
Speaker 1: That's how we did it. But I wrote a book
Speaker 1: called While of Black Women. I think black women need
Speaker 1: to be celebrated and elevated. I love hip hop, but
Speaker 1: I'm tired of the bitch hole skis a sluth, hood rat,
Speaker 1: chicken head. I'm tired of the demonization of women. I
Speaker 1: understand that you say that's the word you use because
Speaker 1: you choose to do it, and don't get it twisted.
Speaker 1: Men in my generation use the same word. But we
Speaker 1: had the good enough sense not to go in public
Speaker 1: and celebrate our rhetorical pathology by demonizing the very woman
Speaker 1: whose wounds we have taken our life. Start being respectful
Speaker 1: to black women. There you go. Tell the name of
Speaker 1: the book again. Tis we cannot stop a sermon to
Speaker 1: white America. All right, it's the Breakfast Club, Michael Leric Dyson,
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is je ballads. It's got

Speaker 1: love it now. He had recently told The Huffington Post
Speaker 1: that he used to low key cringe when Black Every
Speaker 1: Month came around. He said it felt like a slap
Speaker 1: in the face with all the hell we catch daily,
Speaker 1: like a small reward for a dog's good behavior. Then
Speaker 1: back to the kennel. But I'll take it. I'll take
Speaker 1: what I can get, and that's all I need to
Speaker 1: go to New Heights. Yeah, drop on a clues bomb
Speaker 1: from now. Celebrate Black History Month. Man, there's a time
Speaker 1: to use every opportunity to teach, and Black History Month
Speaker 1: is a great opportunity to do to teach. Absolutely well,
Speaker 1: let's do some more positivity. Let's talk about Duane Johnson,
Speaker 1: a k a. The Rock Now. He actually gave an
Speaker 1: unsuspecting Army combat veteran and Purple Heart recipient a gift.
Speaker 1: Here's how it went down. So I heard your Dodgers fan.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, for sure, like big time Dodgers. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: Well maybe you can go to a Dodgers game in
Speaker 1: your brand new twenty eighteen mustang. Wow, what that's you?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? No? No, it's you? Really? Why why?
Speaker 1: Because of everything done and everything that that the boys
Speaker 1: and girls who you served with. I've done. I don't
Speaker 1: deserve all this. You deserve more. The Rocks something like,
Speaker 1: you're proposing to a woman that don't want to chucked up.

Speaker 1: a US veteran and if the Fords go further reward
Speaker 1: and she was talking about the tremendous told the Army
Speaker 1: took on her. She said, I wanted to stay in,
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was gonna happen because I
Speaker 1: suffered severe traumatic brain injury. Well good, I'm glad he
Speaker 1: did something for the veterans. I can't stand to see
Speaker 1: homeless veterans. That's like, I'm a pet peeve. You go
Speaker 1: off and fight for this country and then you come home.
Speaker 1: Now you're on the side of the screet with a
Speaker 1: sign beging for change. That's just disrespectful, you know. So,
Speaker 1: I know there was a guy at the DMV when
Speaker 1: he served three tours, and I guess somebody stole his
Speaker 1: license and was using his name. So when he got back,
Speaker 1: he his license was suspended and he was like, I
Speaker 1: have to stay in online for two hours for his
Speaker 1: and he was he was pistol, like I just served

Speaker 1: the Strip. Now. They said that ticket sales broke records

Speaker 1: the day, A little bit of a mixed but like
Speaker 1: an other day. Now I've been called a lot of
Speaker 1: my twenty three years that dunkey other day is a
Speaker 1: new wife. Hello, yes, dunkey Here today for Thursday, January nineteenth,
Speaker 1: goes to this twenty nine year old queen named but
Speaker 1: Tina Jackson. Okay, but Tina Jackson is from Roosevelle, Michigan,
Speaker 1: and she is tired of spending holidays alone. She promised
Speaker 1: herself at the top of twenty seventeen that last year
Speaker 1: was the last year she was gonna be alone on
Speaker 1: the holidays. She moved into twenty seventeen and said to herself,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have me a Valentine's Day in February. Boo boo. Okay,
Speaker 1: So she did with a lot of women do nowadays.
Speaker 1: When they wanted man. She went online. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: know which sight it could have been Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook,
Speaker 1: Christian Mingel dot com. I don't know which saye it was.
Speaker 1: But she went online looking for a bay and she
Speaker 1: found her thirty nine year old man. Now, I after
Speaker 1: just a couple of dates, I don't know how many
Speaker 1: A couple is Oh, my goodness, a couple is usually
Speaker 1: you're looking at her picture on revolt. Yeah, police said,
Speaker 1: not very attractive. It's just her hair's not stup eyebrows,
Speaker 1: y'all harsh. No, I said just that her hair is
Speaker 1: not done police. Police said that Bettina asked the man
Speaker 1: to commit to a serious relationship after only a couple
Speaker 1: of days. Now, of course, the man said he wasn't
Speaker 1: willing to commit. You know, don't slow down Moya's speed.
Speaker 1: And it's only been a couple of days. Okay, people, No, no,
Speaker 1: I will not spend another holiday alone. You're gonna be
Speaker 1: my valentine. I want a man. I know my worth.
Speaker 1: Did she say that? Are you making this up? It's me.
Speaker 1: I'm broad playing. I don't want to be someone's option.
Speaker 1: I want to be someone's priority. Rob, He'll seeing you say,
Speaker 1: oh boy. Well the guy still said, no, okay, he's
Speaker 1: not ready to commit to a serious relationship. Well, this
Speaker 1: man made a grave mistake after telling this young woman this.
Speaker 1: He didn't leave. Okay at that at the moment, At
Speaker 1: that moment, he should have said he had something to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: lie and say you were gonna get something to eat,
Speaker 1: and then something came up when a when a lonely, single,
Speaker 1: broken woman who wants a man puts that you need
Speaker 1: to commit to a relationship, pressure on you and you
Speaker 1: say no manners. It's like feeding a magua after midnight. Okay,
Speaker 1: that magua gonna turn into a vicious, murderous gremlin. And
Speaker 1: this Benita Jackson situation is no different. Let's go to
Speaker 1: local Ford, Detroit for the report. Police. But Tina Jackson
Speaker 1: appeared before a judge today crying and pleading to be
Speaker 1: released after she was charged with one count of assaults
Speaker 1: with intent to murder. Police say Jackson stabbed the man
Speaker 1: multiple times in his back and neck with a stake
Speaker 1: knife at her apartment after the two had an argument
Speaker 1: because the victim wouldn't commit to Jackson. Jackson was given
Speaker 1: a two hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond and she'll
Speaker 1: be back in court next week. As for the victim,
Speaker 1: he's been released from the hospital and is expected to
Speaker 1: be okay. But Tina keep calling her Banita, be Tina,
Speaker 1: Let's just call a B. Jackson. B. Jackson stabbed his
Speaker 1: thirty nine year old man because he wasn't willing to
Speaker 1: commit to a serious relationship, stabbed him nine times with
Speaker 1: a stake knife in his back and neck, all because
Speaker 1: all because he wasn't willing to commit. Now, this is
Speaker 1: the problem that I have. Women. If you are in
Speaker 1: the same single boat as Betina, and you're lonely and
Speaker 1: you want a man, you shouldn't stabb a man when
Speaker 1: he tells you the truth about not wanting to be
Speaker 1: in a relationship. You shouldn't stabb anyone ever. But if
Speaker 1: a man leads you on and he's smashing you, telling
Speaker 1: you that he loves you and wants to be with you,
Speaker 1: but he's just gassing you up for your vagina, I
Speaker 1: can understand you stabbing him for that. It's still wrong,
Speaker 1: but a little more understandable. Okay, don't stab that man
Speaker 1: for keeping it real with you what us is meant
Speaker 1: to do when we get in trouble for lying and
Speaker 1: in trouble for telling the truth. Now, but Tina Jackson
Speaker 1: is being held on two hundred and fifty thousand dollar
Speaker 1: bell and she's claiming she stabbed a man in self
Speaker 1: defense because he was physically and sexually assaulting her. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to dismiss her claims, But when I hear
Speaker 1: her say that. I think of a quote you stabbed
Speaker 1: me then pretended you were the one who was bleeding. Okay,
Speaker 1: But Tina Jackson, I root for lonely women like yourself,
Speaker 1: I really do. I want you to find happiness. I
Speaker 1: want you to find a man. Okay, what all you
Speaker 1: did was make the chances of that ever happening almost impossible.
Speaker 1: All Right, nobody's gonna want the crazy chick from Michigan
Speaker 1: who stabbed a man she met on tender Okay, So Petita,
Speaker 1: if you think you're lonely, now wait until you get bail. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to catch fish yourself this February to
Speaker 1: get a Valentine. Please give Petina Jackson the biggest he hall.
Speaker 1: I really do. And she stabbed him in the back,
Speaker 1: and that means my neck, my back. God bless her,
Speaker 1: God bless Patina, God bless Betina. I want her to
Speaker 1: win out here in these streets. I want all lonely
Speaker 1: women to win. Don't resort to that. I know it
Speaker 1: gets frustrated. I know you get scratched out. Okay, I
Speaker 1: know it's either to become scorned and better, But don't
Speaker 1: resort to stabbing him. Man just because he don't want
Speaker 1: to commit because maybe it's you, all right, maybe it's
Speaker 1: you in this situation. Clearly was her right? This guy
Speaker 1: made the right decision, right right, absolutely definite should have
Speaker 1: he made the right decision, it was. It's clearly you, Bettina,
Speaker 1: you're blocking your own blessings, Betina. He deserved better. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: thank you for that dog in Today, sir God, we
Speaker 1: are to breakfast club stup to ask yee, you got
Speaker 1: a question for you? You can call her right now?
Speaker 1: What long are we going to? Ye? Dude nine number six? Hello?
Speaker 1: Who's this Molly? Hey, Molly, what's your question for ye? So,
Speaker 1: like my fiance and I moved up to Massachusetts, where
Speaker 1: I'm from from Florida. Um, and we did that partly
Speaker 1: because his parents treat him so badly, Like they promised us,
Speaker 1: um that they would give us a house because his
Speaker 1: father flips houses, his mom is a real estate agent. Um,
Speaker 1: and that never came through. Um that even just like
Speaker 1: runsing from that, not just like giving us the house.
Speaker 1: But um, so we move up here and like on Christmas,
Speaker 1: he watches all of his sisters and brothers opened thousands
Speaker 1: of dollars worth of Christmas presents on face time and
Speaker 1: they give him nothing, and he wanted to go home
Speaker 1: and visit his family, but we don't really have the
Speaker 1: financial means to do so right now. But he's been
Speaker 1: away from home for a super long time, like eight months,
Speaker 1: and he's never lived outside of Florida before, so he's
Speaker 1: for a homesick and so he texted his dad and said, Hey,
Speaker 1: would you mind like splitting the cost of airfare with me?
Speaker 1: And he receives no response, but like his dad's post
Speaker 1: on Facebook, and you know, like he's what's the backstory
Speaker 1: with his relationship with them that they treat him this way?
Speaker 1: Has it always been like this? So? Um, his dad
Speaker 1: went to jail when he was I want to say,
Speaker 1: I think he was around like four or five, and
Speaker 1: then he was out of his life for a few years,
Speaker 1: and then he came back into his life and my
Speaker 1: fiance moves in with um with his father and his
Speaker 1: step mom. I don't I don't think that they got
Speaker 1: along super well then, But like, he looks up to
Speaker 1: his dad so much and he really wants to breeze
Speaker 1: his dad with everything that he does. So what's so,
Speaker 1: what's your question? My question is is it something that
Speaker 1: I can say because it hurts him so much that
Speaker 1: he gets treated like the black sheep of the family.
Speaker 1: But I don't want to overstep my bounds. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, oh, like crap, Like at m at
Speaker 1: New Year's last year, not like a couple of weeks ago,
Speaker 1: but over a year ago. They brought his um ex
Speaker 1: girlfriends who works for his father's company. Might do They
Speaker 1: brought her to um New Year's and to his dress
Speaker 1: and like with with his short dress high heels at
Speaker 1: this family event, you know what I mean. And they
Speaker 1: employ her, and so they're not They're just not respectful.
Speaker 1: They're not respectful to either one of you or to
Speaker 1: your relationship basically exactly. Okay, number one, this is their problem,
Speaker 1: not to your problem. So always keep that in mind.
Speaker 1: When people don't treat you the way that you deserve
Speaker 1: to be treated, it's not a reflection of you, it's
Speaker 1: a reflection on them. So make sure that with your
Speaker 1: fiance you are very supportive toward him and you let
Speaker 1: him know how important and special he is in your
Speaker 1: life so that he never feels like it's him because
Speaker 1: a lot of times you feel like, what did I
Speaker 1: do wrong? What's wrong with me. But it's really some
Speaker 1: issues that they have within themselves, right, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: they haven't never seen a healthy relation. Maybe they have
Speaker 1: some jealousy towards you guys having a healthy relationship with
Speaker 1: each other. You know, we don't know what it is
Speaker 1: their issue is. But have you ever said has either
Speaker 1: one of you ever said anything like you know, I
Speaker 1: don't understand is they're an issue? Why do you guys
Speaker 1: act like this? Do you think that this's wrong that
Speaker 1: you've done this to us? No, I haven't because I
Speaker 1: don't know. I just feel like his step I'm is
Speaker 1: super fake and she tries to create drama. Right. There
Speaker 1: was a picture of my fiance and his best friend
Speaker 1: who's a female on Greece book, and I didn't like it.
Speaker 1: So she just assumed that, like I had beef with
Speaker 1: his best friend, which is not true. I think she's
Speaker 1: a great girl, and she started telling people that I
Speaker 1: didn't like her. Right, they're like gossipy, and a lot
Speaker 1: of families are like that, by the way, They're very
Speaker 1: gossipee in the business. So it's not something that is
Speaker 1: unique to your situation. But I will say that you
Speaker 1: and your husband have a united front, support each other,
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do, and sometimes you know it's
Speaker 1: not you don't pick your family right, and sometimes they're issues.
Speaker 1: You can't let that drag down what you have going
Speaker 1: on for your own self esteem and your own relationship.
Speaker 1: All you can do. All you can do is point
Speaker 1: it out to them and just and let them know
Speaker 1: when they're being petty, let them know when they're doing
Speaker 1: things that are disrespectful towards you, and point it out
Speaker 1: and keep it moving. And that's all you gotta do.
Speaker 1: But you guys have to know when you go into it,
Speaker 1: and you go into these family situations, just go in
Speaker 1: there knowing that you can't expect that to treat you
Speaker 1: the way that you deserve to be treated. Thank you
Speaker 1: all right, and never feel like it's anything that you've
Speaker 1: done wrong or anything that he's done wrong. Okay, thank
Speaker 1: you very much, You're welcome. Good luck Partius DJ Envy
Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: But in the middle of ask ye eight hundred five
Speaker 1: eight five one oh five one? Hello, who's this? Hello? Hey?
Speaker 1: What's your name? Courtney? Hey? Courtney? What's your question for? Ye? Um?
Speaker 1: I actually have a boyfriend and he's been asking to
Speaker 1: the leat people off of Facebook, and I've been willing
Speaker 1: to do it. But at the moment that I asked
Speaker 1: him to delete a couple of people off of Facebook,
Speaker 1: he throws a tantrum. So I was wondering if I'm
Speaker 1: doing the right thing and delete in these people. Well,
Speaker 1: why why does he want you to delete them off
Speaker 1: your Facebook? I don't know, he says. He says that, Um,
Speaker 1: the guys that I have on my Facebook, when they're
Speaker 1: in a relationship, they always tend to some of their
Speaker 1: girlfriends to block them off Facebook. So I thought it
Speaker 1: was being petty and him wanting me to delete people
Speaker 1: off of Facebook just because of friends do it for him.
Speaker 1: And then when the whole thing sounds really petty, because
Speaker 1: who are these people that you're asking him to lead
Speaker 1: to delete? Are you doing that just because he's asking
Speaker 1: you to do it? And I'm actually doing it because
Speaker 1: these girls that aren't want him to the lead off
Speaker 1: of Facebook are girls that hit him up at like
Speaker 1: nine o'clock, ten o'clock at night and they just talk
Speaker 1: about super stuff. And he says, oh, we're just acquaintances.
Speaker 1: But I've seen a lot of messages on his phone,
Speaker 1: and I mean, you're just acquaintances. You don't talk to
Speaker 1: them every day about super stuff they have your Facebook's
Speaker 1: The issue is that you guys don't trust each other.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't trust him. He says he trust me,
Speaker 1: but I personally don't trust him at all. Right, And
Speaker 1: that's more of the issue than this Facebook because this
Speaker 1: Facebook thing is just complete nonsense. And truthfully, he probably
Speaker 1: doesn't trust you because maybe he's doing something and you are,
Speaker 1: which you already think. So Am I doing the wrong
Speaker 1: thing the leading the people for Facebook just because he
Speaker 1: wants me to? Yeah? I mean, if that's not something
Speaker 1: that you want to do, it's not something that you
Speaker 1: should do, okay, unless you feel like, Okay, I understand
Speaker 1: his point and it makes sense, and I feel that
Speaker 1: I should do it too. You should do it because
Speaker 1: you want to be not just because he said you
Speaker 1: should do it. If you feel like, okay, you know,
Speaker 1: for my relationship, I understand what he's saying and I
Speaker 1: agree with him, then yes, But if he's not giving
Speaker 1: you that same respect, yeah, he's not doing it for me.
Speaker 1: That's why I honestly thought he wasn't doing it for me,
Speaker 1: because clearly he has to do something with these girls
Speaker 1: because he's deleted for other people. He's believing his ex
Speaker 1: girlfriends without an issue, but the moment I asked him
Speaker 1: to believe these two girls, it's an issue, Like he'll stop.
Speaker 1: But honey, the bigger issues that y'all just don't trust
Speaker 1: each other. Yeah, and that's and that's the bigger issue
Speaker 1: that you guys need to really deal with. Why don't
Speaker 1: you trust him? Do you think that he do you
Speaker 1: really think he's cheating? I mean, it's hard. It's hard
Speaker 1: because I've lived with him for so long. If he
Speaker 1: always puts off a car, like oh, how can I
Speaker 1: see on you? Or we live together, you know all
Speaker 1: my moves, and I'm he knows all my moves. But
Speaker 1: it's just kind of hard because I've heard stories from
Speaker 1: my best friend that she's always like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: he's hitting me up. He's hitting me up. He's wanting
Speaker 1: to do this. But when I confront him about it,
Speaker 1: he doesn't really you know, he evased it. So it's
Speaker 1: not like I ever call him in anything to say,
Speaker 1: I wait, your best friend says that he's hitting her
Speaker 1: at that sounds crazy. Yeah, she says that, Oh, you know,
Speaker 1: he's been trying to hit me up and ask me
Speaker 1: how to go to lunch. And when I asked him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: when I asked him, he's like, oh, it's not like that.
Speaker 1: I ask a lot of people out to lun Yeah. No,
Speaker 1: he should definitely not be doing nothing like that, especially
Speaker 1: if it makes you uncomfortable. Yeah, he's definitely stopped. But
Speaker 1: I guess I'm doing wrong and telling him that he's
Speaker 1: seeting if I don't have no evidence, right, But if
Speaker 1: you feel like there's something going on and you don't
Speaker 1: trust him, like I said, that's something that y'all really
Speaker 1: have to deal with more than just a Facebook Okay.
Speaker 1: I toltally appreciate your advice. And by the way, hey

Speaker 1: present if we're silent. My heart is broken for our country,
Speaker 1: for the hopes of our children, for the fights of
Speaker 1: those who came before us. I cry at the thought
Speaker 1: that black history, American history, might be in vain. This
Speaker 1: country has had great moments. God has shined his light
Speaker 1: upon us, and then she goes on to say, doctor
Speaker 1: Martin Luther King Junior once said, our lives begin to
Speaker 1: end the day we become silent about what matters. I
Speaker 1: am here representing you because this is what matters. I said.
Speaker 1: Maybe she'll do some type of protests on the stage
Speaker 1: or say something on the stage. But like God had
Speaker 1: the conversation with my guys and earlier, we're gonna have engages,
Speaker 1: We're gonna have resistance. Jesuses don't need to get mad
Speaker 1: at the engagers for engaging. We all need to be
Speaker 1: on the same page as long as the cause of
Speaker 1: the betterment of black people. Let people do whatever method
Speaker 1: they want to to get to that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: hashtag no political genius, she ended it. We'll see what
Speaker 1: she does. And by the way, that whole inauguration was
Speaker 1: put together about Bust the Moon. If you don't know
Speaker 1: who Bust the Moon is, and you haven't taking your
Speaker 1: children to see the movie Sing. But if you're taking
Speaker 1: your children to see the movie Sing, you know exactly
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. That whole inauguration. All the talent there,
Speaker 1: Buster Moon, the Koala Bear, put all that together all right, now,
Speaker 1: Soldier boy no longer has Floyd Mayweather training him Twitter
Speaker 1: and said that he hasn't been pleased with the whole way.
Speaker 1: The whole fight with Soldier Boy versus Chris Brown is
Speaker 1: about to go down. He said He's now taking matters
Speaker 1: into his own hands. He's gonna pay for everything. He said,
Speaker 1: I'm throwing the fight. These animarees taking too long. If
Speaker 1: this issue you need tickets, hit me. I'm running the show.
Speaker 1: And so originally this was the Floyd Mayweather promotion, but
Speaker 1: he's saying it's just taking too long, So Floyd and
Speaker 1: Chris to do it himself. He said he's going to
Speaker 1: give an interview on Jimmy Kimme Alive about the upcoming fight,
Speaker 1: his new tour, and a TV show update. Lloyd and
Speaker 1: Chris not even gonna be mad, Not Floyd, Chris and
Speaker 1: Soldier Boy not even gonna be mad at each other
Speaker 1: to want to fight in a couple months. Man, That
Speaker 1: moment is I'm over it all right. Ed Sharon has
Speaker 1: made history. He's the first artist ever to debut two
Speaker 1: singles in the top ten on the Billboard Hot One.
Speaker 1: Hunt It at the Same dam Time and Castle on
Speaker 1: the Hill both debuted at number one and number six.
Speaker 1: That's my guy, he said. It feels amazing the debut
Speaker 1: at number one in the US, especially after being away
Speaker 1: for so long. Some congratulations to him couldn't happen to
Speaker 1: a better person. That Sharon is a great guy. Also,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Yam's Day. With the passing of ASAP
Speaker 1: Crew founder A. SAP Bams two years ago, they did
Speaker 1: have the whole Asap. They had the Yams Day. A
Speaker 1: lot of people showed up at Madison Square Gardens the
Speaker 1: third for the second annual celebration concert the weekend came out.
Speaker 1: Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug. Of course a SAP Rocky was
Speaker 1: on stage, so a lot of people went out to
Speaker 1: show their love and support. Sold out events. Drop on
Speaker 1: a clue's bomb for the ASAP Mob or Rocky FuG
Speaker 1: was happening all right now, Little Wayne, it does sound
Speaker 1: like he finally has some music really coming out. The
Speaker 1: car to five. They album's supposed to come out this
Speaker 1: year sometime. Little Wayne headquarters put up a little snippet
Speaker 1: of a song called Life of Mister Carter. Check it
Speaker 1: out especial fight all right, just in case you guys
Speaker 1: were wondering, and um, this is bad news for Bobby's
Speaker 1: murder's co defendant. This is crazy. Got sentenced to one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty years. What's the point. Why are you
Speaker 1: playing judge now? In September, Santino Batterick, who's twenty three
Speaker 1: years old, was offered a plea deal of fifteen years.
Speaker 1: He turned that down. His three co defendants, including Bobby
Speaker 1: s murder, did take that deal. He didn't, And while
Speaker 1: he was in court he told the judge f yourself.
Speaker 1: He also told him to suck his d before he
Speaker 1: was ordered that's okay, to jail, okay. And yes, they
Speaker 1: actually made him leave the court and they delivered that
Speaker 1: sentence while he was gone. He was convicted of conspiracy
Speaker 1: to commit murder, attempted murder, possession of the weapon, and
Speaker 1: twenty other felonies. Makes smarter decisions, man, If you're in
Speaker 1: the courthouse and you know you're facing fifteen years and
Speaker 1: you don't want to take that plea, if you're bargaining,
Speaker 1: you don't tell the judge to suck your day. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't still't think that's smart. He didn't take the play,
Speaker 1: but he's bargaining for something else, right, He's hoping for
Speaker 1: something else. He was young. He was young. He's thinking
Speaker 1: he's twenty three, so when he got locked up, but
Speaker 1: he's what two years ago, twenty one, he would have
Speaker 1: been at thirty two, thirty three. Still, though, we gotta
Speaker 1: start being more realistic though, like when you're a judge,
Speaker 1: like stop telling the judge just be showing off. One
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven years Well, if you're a judge
Speaker 1: and somebody tells you to suck safe forever, say forever,
Speaker 1: You're gonna give me a number what you're playing for
Speaker 1: to say? Forever and twenty when Savage has signed to
Speaker 1: Epic Records. He confirmed that the Radar podcast, and he
Speaker 1: said about La Read, he said he's black. He's probably
Speaker 1: the last black CEO. Why not, he'll understand me before
Speaker 1: anyone else. I'm just trying to black ceo. Well, puff
Speaker 1: is black? Jay Z's black of a labeled of a
Speaker 1: record label like that actually runs directly every day. Who
Speaker 1: is gonna be on hundred? Who you know that's one
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty seven years old? Because I hate when
Speaker 1: judges do that. Where did you just come up with
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty seven? Though? I'm just throwing a
Speaker 1: number day. You talk somebody one hundred and forty seven
Speaker 1: seven and you're already twenty something, You're gonna be one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty plus when you get out, Like, no,
Speaker 1: stop giving people false hope like that. Just say fun
Speaker 1: kind of hope. You give me any years, I don't
Speaker 1: feel like I have hope. You give me a number.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna countdown to day. There's a reason to Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney is trying to get back the rights to his
Speaker 1: copyrights for a lot of the hits from the Beatles. Now,
Speaker 1: I remember Michael Jackson actually controlled these songs for some time.
Speaker 1: That was the falling out that Michael Jackson and Paul
Speaker 1: McCartney had, and then his estate actually sold it to
Speaker 1: Sony First seven hundred and fifty million dollars last year.
Speaker 1: Paul McCartney has tried numerous times to get confirmation that
Speaker 1: he can get the rights back without a fight, because
Speaker 1: he's supposed to get those rights back in twenty and eighteen,
Speaker 1: but so far he's been getting the run around. So
Speaker 1: he wants to make sure that he gets those songs
Speaker 1: back by next years. Yeah, I guess he's supposed to
Speaker 1: get the rights back in twenty eighteen Michael Bottom though,
Speaker 1: and then his estate sold them to Sony. Not that
Speaker 1: they spend seven fifty new I don't know that's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fight and kill about the rich Negro problem.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but he has legal docs, legal documents that
Speaker 1: he gets them back in twenty eighteen, so they only
Speaker 1: had the copyright for a certain amount of time. Paul,
Speaker 1: all right, Well I'm Angela Yee and that's your rumor report.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, miss Ye. Shout out family at Revote.
Speaker 1: We'll see you guys tomorrow.
