It was nasty last name, yeah, actual tornados. 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.520 I didn't know it was an actual tornado. I was 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.640 actually out. I went to go get something to eat, 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.639 and I was driving back home, and all of a sudden, 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:22.080 the weather just went crazy and tornado pull up out 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:25.160 of nowhere.

The 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.840 last name I see, our friend, Danielle Rawlings is in 0:01:55.880 --> 0:02:00.240 the hospital. I'm not sure. I gotta find that out, 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.960 all right, Well yeah, all right, Well Rokonna will be 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.400 joining us this morning. Oh yes, Rokanna.

Right. 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.800 And also we have somebody that has a great app 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.320 that is allowing anybody to get involved. You don't have 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:29.680 to be a celebrity, you don't have to be a 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:33.760 millionaire billionaire. You can invest if you want, very very 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.720 very very small. So Isaac Hayes the third will be 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.880 joining us this morning. That's right.

But 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.000 let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.960 talking about, Well, let's talk about Barack Obama and his 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:01.399 new book. He's been doing some interviews. He did sixteen minutes. 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.120 I'm gonna tell you some of the takeaways from that. 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.400 All right, we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:09.680 to Breakfast Club go morn morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:12.519 Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the breakfast club 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:17.440 less getting some front page news now. In NFL, the 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:19.920 Browns beat the Texans ten to seven. The Lions beat 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.880 the Washington Football team thirty twenty seven. The Packers beat 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.360 the Jaguars twenty four, twenty Buccaneers beat the Panthers forty 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.880 six twenty three. Raiders beat the Broncos thirty seven twelves. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.000 The Dolphins beat the the Charges twenty nine twenty one, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.320 Cardinals beat the Bills thirty two thirty. Rams beat the 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:38.040 Seahawks twenty three sixteen. The Steelers beat the Bengals thirty 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.760 six ten. The Saints beat San Francisco forty nine twenty 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.240 seven thirteen. The Patriots beat the Baltimore Ravens. It looks 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:48.040 like the Cowboys yea had a night all? Is it 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.320 just me? Are the NFL just sought this ship the 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.160 Eagles twenty seven seventeen. I don't know about your pointless game. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.560 Pointless pointless game. Pointless game should have been a game 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.000 that they an for social distancing purposes. No need for 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.600 any NFC East teams to be playing at all, especially 0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.480 each other. I record is better than the Cowboys right now. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.600 And it looks like the Brooklyn Nets might be getting 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:18.360 James harden Um. Yeah, what happens? That's getting James harden Yep, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.800 that's the first on his list of the teams he 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.360 wants to join. Houston's getting rid of James harden When 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:25.880 did this happen. I'm talk abou getting rid of Rust 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.120 Westrook over the weekend. When did they talk about getting 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:31.479 rid of James Harden. Well, James Harden says he possibly 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.040 would like a trade in the first team you would 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.200 like to go to it is the Brooklyn Nets. Let's 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:38.159 go Brooklyn, all right? And you know you saw the 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.320 Miami Marlins have hired their first ever woman general manager 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.200 in Major League Baseball and that's a huge thing. She's 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.039 the highest ranking woman in baseball operations among the thirty 0:04:47.160 --> 0:04:51.800 MLB teams, so that is really dope. So congratulations to her, Kim, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:56.440 And all right, now let's talk about Barack Obama. He 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.520 was on the Gail King on CBS Sunday morning, and 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.440 here's what he had to say. He had a pretty 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:05.640 interesting interview about why he won't be joining Biden's staff. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:08.600 He doesn't need my advice, and I will help him 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.719 in any ways that I can now. I'm not planning 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:14.320 to suddenly work on the White House staff or something. 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:17.840 There are probably some things I would not be doing 0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:22.000 because Michelle would leave me. She'd be like, what you're doing? 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:26.760 What I would you thinking? I was going to say 0:05:26.760 --> 0:05:29.800 when he was on sixty minutes just to expand on that. 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.760 He was on sixty Minutes as wells in the evening 0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:34.880 with Scott Pelle, and he talked about how Michelle Obama 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.120 did not even want him to run for president. Just 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.880 two years earlier, I'd run for the US Senate. Two 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.359 years before that, I had run for Congress. A couple 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.040 of years before that, I'd run for the State Senate. 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.960 We've got two young kids. Michelle's still working, And I 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.200 asked myself in the book, how much of this is 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:54.279 just megalomania? How much of this is me trying to 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.880 prove something to myself? And over time she made a 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.400 conclusion that I shouldn't stand in the way, And the 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:08.320 fact that I ended up winning didn't necessarily alleviate her frustration, 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.960 because the TOLLA takes on families is real. Well, I 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:15.320 can't wait to read Barack Obama's book. It's three hundred 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:17.680 pages longer than Michelle's book. By the way, Michelle's book 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.120 was for sixteate. Obama's book is seven hundred plus. But 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.240 why would you be president of the United States and 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.440 didn't come back to work in somebody's cabinet? That's that's 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080 hustling backwards and it were friends. I can consult you, 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:28.640 call my phone. I'm not about to come work in 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.840 the cabinet. Has that ever happened? If the president ever 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.159 been president and went to work in somebody's cabinet. I 0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:37.960 don't think so. Sense like you said, well, I think 0:06:37.960 --> 0:06:39.800 at first she was just asking him about what, you know, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.240 is he giving him any advice? And then it was 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.400 just a follow up because he was saying he doesn't 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:48.080 think Joe Biden needs any advice from him. So yeah, 0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.720 it's just weird, like why would like, why I was president, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.440 why would I come work in the cabinet for you? 0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:55.720 Like I don't know. All right, well that is your 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.279 front page news, all right, get it off few chess 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:01.040 eight ondred five eight five five one.

They can't be trying to 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.120 tell people where to park and where they can't park. Yes, 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:01.880 they can do, because they had all das to come 0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:04.480 to my block. They actually came to my block and 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.040 booted my car on my block. And I've been hiding 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.640 them in front of them for eight months lading people. 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.080 What you old, traff? That's right, Stop giving Stop giving 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.640 people a sixth day talking about you. I owe you 0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.160 one painting people, but it's far because Breakfast Club Change 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.080 for Change is coming up and I gotta go five 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:25.200 thousand dollars leaking on me.

They both trash, Hello, 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:47.480 who's this? Salthy? They get it off your chest? Okay, 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.720 you guys made a statement about prisident Obama coming back 0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.600 to work in someone's campaign, and I just really feel 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:57.000 like my hat goes off to him because he knows 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.560 that there's work me to be done in this country. 0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:02.800 That's the way that I feel about him coming back 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:06.599 to work in somebody else's campaign. No, no, no, no campaign. 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:08.800 They said, they said, they said, Joe Biden, they said, 0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.600 it's cabinet. No, it don't make sense and don't work 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.440 in somebody's cabinet. But Rock Obama is an entity all 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.840 to himself. He can invoke change so many other ways. 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:19.440 He does not have to work in Joe Biden's cabin 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.920 That don't even sound right.

Keeping lock this the Breakfast Club. Good morning, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:37.760 the Breakfast Club. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well, 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.960 Benny the Butcher, he suffered a gunshot wound. They said 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:44.040 it was in his leg and according to the Houston 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.400 Police Department, they told TMZ that he was in town 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.560 Saturday visiting a local walmart. While he was with his 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.160 friends in the car and the lot, they said, a 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:54.040 car with five guys pulled up next to them, took 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:57.280 out some guns and demanded their chains. Apparently they were 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.760 moving too slowly and caught. And the cops say that 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:03.360 one the guys fired around into Bennie the Butcher's leg 0:15:03.880 --> 0:15:07.160 and that's what caused them to flee after that, So 0:15:07.720 --> 0:15:10.080 eventually they did pull over and call the police. He 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.840 was taken to the hospital for a treatment. Wow, look 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:15.280 to the good brother, Bennie the Butcher. Sending positive energy, 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.520 love and light to that brother. Everybody needs to keep 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.280 their head on a swivel. It's been a rough year. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.320 People are hungry, it's the holiday season. People are starving, 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.440 and a lot of brothers out here looking like meal tickets. 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:26.240 If you got it and they don't, they will come 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.720 take it from you, simple as that. So pay attention 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.080 and most importantly stay out the way, all right. And 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.760 Boozy Badass got shot also over the weekend in the 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:39.680 leg in Dallas, and Yes, so according to law enforcement sources, 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:42.440 they said that he was shot after he was in 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.120 a sprinter van near a strip mall and then he 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:48.840 stopped by another venue. He was paying his respects to 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.400 Mo three, the rapper that was signed to him that 0:15:51.480 --> 0:15:54.640 was recently killed, and they said at some point somebody 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.600 opened fire on the vehicles and one of the bullets 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.320 struck him in the leg. And the shooters are also 0:15:59.360 --> 0:16:01.360 at large today. So Boosey did end up going to 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.960 the hospital and he was treated for a gunshot wound 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.960 below the knee, and that he is doing okay, you know, 0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:09.760 Like I said, man, salute to Boosey, Salute to that brother. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.920 Keep your head on the swivel, pay attention and stay 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.080 out the way. And you also got to remember too 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.800 who you are sometimes like you can't do what everybody 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:19.560 else does. That's why you don't have what everybody else has, 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:21.800 you know what I'm saying. You have different access for 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:24.920 different reasons, which in both cases there was. It was 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.520 a bunch of people with them though, So it seems 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:28.280 like they might have had security with them, because I 0:16:28.320 --> 0:16:30.840 mean they're going and traveling different states, they're doing shows. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.760 I'm sure they probably had security. I mean, yeah, the 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:36.160 security can get people can get to drop on security too. 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:37.720 I don't know if they have security, but people can 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.760 get to drop on security for show. All right, So 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:46.000 again our prayers to them. Now, Jeremiah has been hospitalized. 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:50.520 He's an ICU and he has coronavirus. So according to 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.240 now I've heard sources saying that he was on a ventilator, 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:56.960 that things aren't going well. But fifty cent posted pray 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.320 for my boy Jeremia. He's not doing good. This COVID 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.680 is just real. He's an ICU in Chicago. I saw 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.840 a hitmaker also asking for prayers and he said that 0:17:05.280 --> 0:17:08.440 Jeremiah's mother actually asked him to post that chance. The 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.119 rapper said, please, if you can take a second to 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:12.000 pray for my friend Jeremiah. He's like a brother to 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.159 me and he's ill right now. I believe in the 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:16.800 healing power of Jesus, So if you can for me, 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:19.960 please please say a prayer over him. So prayers for 0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:26.040 Jeremiah as well, yes, absolute now. Gospel artist Fred Hammond 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.360 has also shared that he tested positive for COVID nineteen 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.120 and he did share this update Monday, and I went 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:35.080 went to go get tested and it was the same 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.800 day test. I just wanted to come on and say 0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:41.800 that this is a day five of my quarantine because 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:45.080 the test came back Monday positive. I think the rough 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.359 weekend was last weekend. But my doctor's like, she doesn't 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:51.160 know what side of it I'm on, so she's keeping 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.160 keeping me very monitored. And have a doctor that's with 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:59.000 me pretty much well uncor day and I have three 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:04.080 doctor's own speed. He also posted a mask is not 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:08.119 a political statement, blessings family. So hopefully he's going to 0:18:08.200 --> 0:18:11.840 be okay and pull through now. Larsa Pippin has also 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.560 revealed that she tested positive for coronavirus and she said, 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.720 I've never felt pain like this. She posted a picture 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.200 that showed her legs. She said, I've been battling COVID 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.280 for a week and she said, pray then let it go. 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:26.080 Don't try and manipulate or force the outcome. Just trust 0:18:26.119 --> 0:18:28.720 God to open the right doors at the right time. Amen. 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.720 Oh my goodness. Right, it's like everybody, it's so scary 0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:35.760 because you don't know how it affects your body. You know, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.520 some people get it and there's no problem. They don't 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:38.879 even know they have it. They keep him moving in 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:40.960 and some people get it in. It's the worst. You 0:18:41.040 --> 0:18:42.480 just it's just scary because you don't know how it 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:44.160 affects your body. You don't know how to run through 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:47.879 your system. You know it has tested positive and the 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.719 left nostril and not a negative in the right. Now, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:52.560 that didn't make no damn sense. I'm trying to figure 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.840 this one out, Like, how do you test positive in 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:58.040 one nostril and negative and the other nostril. And if 0:18:58.080 --> 0:18:59.720 that happens, what do you do? Do you quarantine for 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.080 seven days instead of fourteen? Shut up, man, shout out 0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:04.240 three feet away from people instead of sixth What do 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:08.040 you do? Like what happens with his half and half? Yeah, 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:09.960 that's a weird thing. I mean, I guess they're not 0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.320 one hundred percent effective, so I would assume you got 0:19:12.320 --> 0:19:15.520 to take it again. But that's weird. All right, Well 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.320 that is your room report. Is there anything that happened 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:21.320 good in the world this weekend?

Two shootings, three 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:35.440 positive COVID tests, Oh my god. All right, Well we 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.240 got rumors we got from Page News coming up.

The fact that she put up with 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:26.000 it and forgave me was an act of grace that 0:21:26.200 --> 0:21:31.120 I am grateful for, and I'm not sure I deserved it.

And then he also in this interview 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.600 talked about not attacking Trump. At the end of the day, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:22:00.199 I consistently tried to treat my political opposition in the 0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.760 ways I'd want to be treated. Every president brings a 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.960 certain temperament to office. I think part of the reason 0:22:07.000 --> 0:22:11.119 I got elected was because I sent a message that 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:14.199 fundamentally I believe the American people are good and decent 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.840 and that politics doesn't have to be some cage match 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:23.840 in which everybody is going at each other's throats, and 0:22:23.960 --> 0:22:28.639 that we can agree without being disagreeable. Yeah, I mean, listen. 0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.160 I didn't like that though, because the problem with Trump 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:32.960 is they acted like what he was doing was so 0:22:33.080 --> 0:22:35.440 normal for four years. Therefore a lot of people didn't 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.760 understand the severity of what he was doing in the 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.760 White House. And if it wasn't for COVID, you know, 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:42.199 treating him like he was just a normal president, it 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:44.960 would have gotten him reelected. And it's not an attack 0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:47.159 if it's the truth, telling the truth about somebody is 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:50.520 not attacking them. What a difference for who's our president 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:52.960 right now? Donald Trump. They had the million megamarts over 0:22:53.000 --> 0:22:57.480 the weekend with these Trump supporters and there was a 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.800 lot going down. In addition to that, Trump said we 0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:03.720 won't let a rigged election still our country, and he's 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:08.040 been on social media talking about he still feels like 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:09.919 he didn't lose. He said he only won in the 0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.919 eyes of the fake news media. I concede nothing. We 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.520 have a long way to go. This was a rigged election. 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.879 He won because the election was rigged. No vote watches 0:23:18.960 --> 0:23:22.680 or observers allowed, vote tabulated by a radical left, privately 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.359 owned company Dominion with a bad reputation in bumm equipment 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.119 that couldn't even qualify for Texas, which I won by 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:32.680 a lot. The fake and silent media, and more so, 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.720 he's still claiming without evidence that he won and even 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.480 though these are all debunked theories and baseless conspiracy theories 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:43.320 and false statements that he's putting out on social media. 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:45.919 And Giuliani actually did an interview and said that Donald 0:23:45.920 --> 0:23:48.840 Trump is not going to conceive as the president right 0:23:48.840 --> 0:23:52.440 now in this treet conceding this election. No, no, no, 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.760 far from it. What he's saying is more I guess 0:23:55.840 --> 0:24:01.119 you'd call it sarcastic. Obviously he's contesting it vigorously in 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:05.919 the court. Let's be honest. We don't want him to concede. Okay, 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:07.840 we all know we want to see the military going 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:10.560 then drag Trump out by his two pay kicking and screaming, 0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.200 a peaceful transition to power, to be normal. We don't 0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.080 want it to end normally. Come on, and we know 0:24:15.119 --> 0:24:17.959 it's not gonna end normal. It's Trump. We don't want 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:20.000 him to concede. Come on, we want to action. Come on, 0:24:20.119 --> 0:24:22.560 be honest, guys, Now, we want them to concede. We 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:26.560 want him to get the hell out. Don't you want 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.280 this show? You want this show? No, you don't you 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:31.320 want this show so you can have content for your 0:24:31.720 --> 0:24:34.920 rule reporting, front page news, for your headlines. We want 0:24:34.960 --> 0:24:36.920 the show stop, not throw him out on his ass. 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:38.159 So if they threw him out on his ass, to 0:24:38.280 --> 0:24:43.800 be different. If we don't know how it's gonna happen, 0:24:44.080 --> 0:24:47.240 but I know it'll be entertaining. I know that much. 0:24:48.600 --> 0:24:51.120 All right, Well that is your front page news. All right, 0:24:51.200 --> 0:24:53.400 thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, Roll 0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.840 Kinna will be joining us roll kinda. He is in 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.479 the US House of Representatives. They actually talk about him 0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:03.840 possibly replacing um Senator Harrison the Senate. But he's real 0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.400 big in the tech and he wants to get black 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:07.840 people into the tech world. So we'll discuss with him, 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:09.760 all right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lockets 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:14.440 at Breakfast Club. Com Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee, 0:25:14.480 --> 0:25:16.639 Charlomagne the God. We all the Breakfast Club. We got 0:25:16.680 --> 0:25:20.280 a special guest on the line. Yes, indeed, Roekana, welcome, 0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.840 Thank you big fan of the show. Thanks for having me. 0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:25.680 Thank you, Roe. You know I'm glad that you're here Man, 0:25:25.800 --> 0:25:28.080 because you know you've you've spoken to me about this 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:32.080 proposal for wealth generation and tech jobs for young Black 0:25:32.119 --> 0:25:35.240 Americans and you sent it to I believe you sent it. 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:37.720 The VP Biden and Kamala has been explained to people 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.920 what that is, but very simple. Right now, the black 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.600 community is being left out of the main wealth generation. 0:25:44.640 --> 0:25:48.080 I mean, I represent Silicon Mallley. Less than three percent 0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:52.880 of venture capital goes to black or Latino entrepreneurs. They're 0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:56.159 less than ten percent at Apple, Google, Facebook of the 0:25:56.200 --> 0:25:59.000 employees or executives. If you think about it, the black 0:25:59.000 --> 0:26:02.480 community was not fully part of the industrial revolution, and 0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:05.879 now you have a digital revolution where it's just driving 0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:08.359 most of the stock market, ninety percent of the games. 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:11.679 And you don't see black folks getting the IPOs, you 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.200 don't see them at the executive tables, you don't see 0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.840 them generating wealth. So my view is you want to 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.119 deal with the racial wealthcap, We've got to have more 0:26:22.800 --> 0:26:26.080 funding for black entrepreneurs. We've got to actually create boot camps. 0:26:26.080 --> 0:26:28.200 We've actually got to get at least a million Black 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:31.080 young men and women in the digital economy. How do 0:26:31.119 --> 0:26:34.520 we do that. Let's create actual boot camps at HBCUs 0:26:34.600 --> 0:26:38.760 in partnership with the private sector to get folks the 0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:41.840 skills and jobs. It's not enough for an Apple or 0:26:41.920 --> 0:26:44.240 Google or something to write a check to the United 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:47.119 Negro Scholarship Fund and think their job is done. You 0:26:47.160 --> 0:26:50.760 know there are only a third of computer science graduates 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:52.800 or people with skills are actually getting jobs. They have 0:26:52.800 --> 0:26:55.600 to actually commit to hiring these volks people, not just 0:26:56.520 --> 0:27:01.560 giving some skills. And what often happens is the HPCUS 0:27:01.680 --> 0:27:05.080 or other schools they don't have the access to get interviews, 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:07.760 so they may be doing computer science stuff, but then 0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:11.560 they're not doing the whiteboard interviews and they're getting blocked out. 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:15.360 So we had a partnership at Claflind with Zoom where 0:27:15.440 --> 0:27:18.959 Zoom committed to not just funding the training practical skills, 0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:21.800 but actually hiring folks afterwards. And I think we have 0:27:21.880 --> 0:27:25.680 to create these kind of boot camps that Opportunity Hub 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:28.679 and others doing across across the country. Of changing the curriculum, 0:27:28.760 --> 0:27:31.680 changing the curriculum, you have to change the curriculum Claflind 0:27:31.640 --> 0:27:35.160 in South Carolina. Claflind, South Carolina. Yeah, you know, yeah, 0:27:35.320 --> 0:27:37.679 now Clafland and Zoom. So you know what was happening 0:27:37.720 --> 0:27:41.560 is these hpcus they give all the academic stuff and 0:27:41.600 --> 0:27:44.160 then people would go to interview and they're all these 0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.520 whiteboard interviews and all these things and they've never been 0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:48.840 exposed to it, so they wouldn't get the job. Well, 0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:52.080 and that's you know that that's not going to create 0:27:52.200 --> 0:27:56.520 actual opportunities. So first, get people the actual practical skills 0:27:56.560 --> 0:27:59.719 and certification that's going to lead to a job. So 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:02.639 the HBC, you should partner with the private institutions, and 0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:05.399 these private companies have to commit to hiring. Second, I 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:07.800 would say, at least any any big company that wants 0:28:07.800 --> 0:28:10.240 to have a big federal contract, Amazon others, have them 0:28:10.280 --> 0:28:13.800 have a ten percent Black and Latino workforce. That's right, 0:28:14.440 --> 0:28:17.600 you know, you see that happen. Look at how quickly 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.959 they'll actually hi hi hire people right now. They're not. 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.239 You know, there's no incentive for them to do it. 0:28:23.240 --> 0:28:26.560 It's just lip service. It should be it should reflect 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.840 the population of black people in this country. So thirteen 0:28:29.880 --> 0:28:33.320 to fourteen percent of what I say, great, Yeah, let's 0:28:33.320 --> 0:28:36.280 do something at thirteen fourteen percent makes makes a lot 0:28:36.280 --> 0:28:39.000 of sense. And you know Jesse Jackson, who I admired, 0:28:39.040 --> 0:28:41.200 but he's been going to Silicon Valleys for the past 0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:44.160 fifteen years and they give us the same speech about 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:48.280 diversity and they put out some statistics, but it's not improving. 0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:51.160 I mean that we've got to have some real policy 0:28:51.160 --> 0:28:54.240 and it can't just be left to the the the 0:28:54.320 --> 0:28:57.640 intentions of of people in the valley. And what about 0:28:57.720 --> 0:29:00.840 raising funds, because you did talk about that to capitalists 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.000 and how black people are getting left out when it 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:05.000 comes to that, So what can be done about that? 0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.720 I think two things. First, let's look at the statistics. 0:29:07.880 --> 0:29:10.520 Less than three percent one hundred and thirty billion dollars 0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:14.240 venture capital industry, less than three percent is going to 0:29:15.600 --> 0:29:19.040 black or Latino entrepreneurs, probably less than one percent to 0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:22.920 black entrepreneurs. And when it comes to women, it's you know, 0:29:23.080 --> 0:29:26.719 it's less than point three percent. I think we need 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:30.760 to do two things. When we need actual targeted federal 0:29:30.800 --> 0:29:35.800 government matching funds where we're putting funds into black owned vcs, 0:29:35.880 --> 0:29:39.000 they're about twenty prominent black owned vcs. You know, if 0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:41.360 you give money to people with black owned funds. They're 0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.600 more likely to fund black entrepreneurs. That's just the reality 0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.400 of it. But the black funds VC funds are you know, 0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:51.040 a very small fraction of one hundred thirty billions. I 0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:55.920 have federal funds to match that and secondly, incentivize the 0:29:56.080 --> 0:30:00.280 Harvards the public pension funds to say, look, you get 0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:02.960 a different capital gains tax rate if you're going to 0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:08.040 invest that money with black own fund so that you're 0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:12.120 incentivizing these huge people who control a lot of the 0:30:12.160 --> 0:30:15.200 capital to put the money in black funds. I fundamentally 0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:18.239 believe if you give money to black run funds, you're 0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.600 going to get more black entrepreneurs funded. I don't think 0:30:20.640 --> 0:30:25.000 you can rely on non you know, other funds finding 0:30:25.040 --> 0:30:27.880 the entrepreneurs or opportunities. Yeah, you got to be intentional 0:30:27.920 --> 0:30:29.320 about it, you know. I mean, so you got to 0:30:29.320 --> 0:30:30.800 give the money to people who are going to be 0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.280 intentional about empowering other black people. But I got a question, role, 0:30:34.320 --> 0:30:37.560 what's what's keeping black people out of the digital revolution. 0:30:37.600 --> 0:30:40.040 We're the consumers of all this tech, all these social 0:30:40.040 --> 0:30:44.560 media apps, but not the creators. Why that's brilliantly put. 0:30:44.600 --> 0:30:46.960 I mean simply look, you know black Twitter. I mean, 0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:50.280 the black people get a lot of the cultural stuff 0:30:50.320 --> 0:30:52.880 started on these tech companies. They wouldn't have grown. Twitter 0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:56.120 wouldn't have grown if it wasn't right and right now Clubhouse, 0:30:57.360 --> 0:31:02.520 Clubhouse and on Amazon, obviously huge purchases on Facebook, and 0:31:02.560 --> 0:31:06.480 so the black community is exactly you put it through 0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:10.200 the consumers, but more than the consumers, they're the cultural movers. 0:31:10.240 --> 0:31:12.880 They're getting this stuff popular. I mean, you look at 0:31:12.920 --> 0:31:16.720 the videos on entertainment and things on Instagram or TikTok. 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:23.160 It's often black entertainers, black influencers, and yet they're not 0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.400 getting the wealth that the actual wealth creation, and they're 0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:29.440 not being able to shape these platforms. People keep talking 0:31:29.480 --> 0:31:32.120 about the racial wealth gap ten to one. It has 0:31:32.280 --> 0:31:36.479 increased in the last twenty years, not decreased, increase And 0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:38.760 one of the big parts of the reasons for that, 0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:40.920 in my view, is that all the wealth creation is 0:31:41.200 --> 0:31:44.120 largely being driven in the digital economy. So why are 0:31:44.600 --> 0:31:47.840 they excluded? Have they been excluded? I think partly it's 0:31:47.920 --> 0:31:50.880 that there's network effects, you know, if you're it's not 0:31:50.920 --> 0:31:53.640 that they don't they don't want to go into computer science. Actually, 0:31:53.680 --> 0:31:56.800 young black kids have a greater desire. There's a study 0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.239 showing them a greater desire to study computer science than 0:31:59.240 --> 0:32:03.360 white kids. Actual they they're more interested in it. So 0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:06.800 and a third of black graduates in computer science aren't 0:32:06.840 --> 0:32:09.680 getting jobs in tech, even though there's seven hundred thousand 0:32:09.720 --> 0:32:12.800 open tech jobs. So part of it is the network effect. 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:14.720 I mean, how many of these tech companies are actually 0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:17.520 recruiting where the talent is. Partly is that they're not 0:32:17.600 --> 0:32:21.560 getting the skilled boot camp training, which treaches folks not 0:32:21.600 --> 0:32:24.560 just about the algorithms and out of code, but actually 0:32:24.640 --> 0:32:28.160 the way that interviews are conducted to get jobs. And 0:32:28.160 --> 0:32:32.560 then partly is the exclusion of capital. But if this continues, 0:32:32.600 --> 0:32:34.360 the racial wealth kept twenty years from now, it will 0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:36.240 be worse. And what I say is, look, the biggest 0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:38.440 issue obviously, and you know, I know, Charlie, you've been 0:32:38.520 --> 0:32:41.880 very eloquent on it, is with criminal justice farm at 0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:45.560 police violence. And that's obviously people can't be getting shot. 0:32:45.680 --> 0:32:48.360 But in Silicon Valley it's easy to sit there and say, 0:32:48.560 --> 0:32:51.360 you know, the problem is the cop in Minnesota or 0:32:51.360 --> 0:32:55.760 the cop in Wisconsin, and and support Black Lives Matter 0:32:55.960 --> 0:32:58.160 sort of theoretically and say Okay, we're going to go 0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.760 out and march for r racial justice against police violence. 0:33:01.840 --> 0:33:04.240 But what are you doing? But Black Lives Matter is 0:33:04.280 --> 0:33:07.480 not just about making sure black kids don't get shot 0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:09.160 in the streets. It's about making sure they have a 0:33:09.200 --> 0:33:12.760 shot at the American dream, at wealth creation. That's a 0:33:12.800 --> 0:33:16.880 far harder structural reform. And I think that we can't 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:22.480 let off companies and area I represent saying okay, support 0:33:22.520 --> 0:33:26.040 Black lives marches without telling about equity and wealth generation. 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.360 All right, we got more with Rocanna. When we come 0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:32.480 back the morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne, 0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:34.840 the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:38.000 it with Kana. He's the member of the US House 0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:42.680 Representatives from California seventeenth district. It always seems crazy when 0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:45.040 we talk about minorities and generational wealth and then you 0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:47.840 look at big companies and all the breaks that they get, 0:33:47.880 --> 0:33:51.360 whether it's the Amazons or the Netflix or you know, 0:33:51.600 --> 0:33:53.560 all these other companies, and it just seems weird to 0:33:53.600 --> 0:33:56.480 me that you give all these companies huge breaks, and 0:33:56.480 --> 0:33:58.680 then when you talk about generational wealth, you don't allow 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.760 minorities chance to catch up. I'd say right. I think 0:34:02.760 --> 0:34:05.120 one of the other reforms tribute that there should be 0:34:05.160 --> 0:34:07.920 people on the boards of these companies, there should have 0:34:07.960 --> 0:34:12.880 some sense of diversity requirements for the boards and in 0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:15.440 these companies. And people say, well, why, how does that 0:34:15.520 --> 0:34:19.839 help someone who's middle class or working class to get 0:34:19.880 --> 0:34:23.680 representation on the boards. I think that's a very privileged perspective. 0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:27.719 I mean, it's not just that black people should be 0:34:27.800 --> 0:34:31.000 having working class jobs and focused on the minimum wage. 0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:33.440 They're important. We've got to give them access to the 0:34:33.440 --> 0:34:36.759 wealth generation and they're going to reinvest that in their 0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:41.399 own community. So partly it's diversifying the boards, it's having incentives. 0:34:41.840 --> 0:34:43.680 As you point out, these companies are getting a lot 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.759 of breaks from the government. They have an obligation to 0:34:46.840 --> 0:34:49.480 be part of the solution in dealing with the racial 0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.719 wealth gap and the exclusion of black talent. You know, 0:34:52.840 --> 0:34:54.600 why do you think there's never been an attempt role 0:34:54.680 --> 0:34:57.920 to address the racial wealth gap in America in a 0:34:57.960 --> 0:35:00.600 meaningful way? I should I say, fixth the racial wealth 0:35:00.600 --> 0:35:03.280 gap in American a meaningful with I think that we're 0:35:04.080 --> 0:35:08.239 not focused enough of the on the ambitions of young 0:35:08.640 --> 0:35:11.520 African Americans. Af Amrian families. I think we're so focused 0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:17.919 on their the immediate social problems, which are acute. Let's 0:35:18.120 --> 0:35:20.880 make sure everyone gets healthcare, Let's make sure everyone you 0:35:20.920 --> 0:35:23.439 know doesn't get shot in the streets. Let's make sure 0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:26.319 that people at minimum wage. But that's not America, that's 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:27.920 not a buff When I go to Claffland, when I 0:35:27.920 --> 0:35:29.640 talk to these young folks, they have the same dreams 0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:31.799 as kids in my district. They want to be entrepreneurs, 0:35:31.840 --> 0:35:34.440 they want to be business leaders, they want to create 0:35:34.480 --> 0:35:36.880 wealth they have and when do we have when do 0:35:36.920 --> 0:35:40.120 we speak to that to that aspiration. You're not going 0:35:40.160 --> 0:35:42.960 to solve the racial wealth gap by just giving everyone 0:35:43.000 --> 0:35:46.319 healthcare and minimum wage and social securiture, as important as 0:35:46.360 --> 0:35:49.960 that is. You've got to give people access to wealth generation. 0:35:50.560 --> 0:35:53.640 And I just don't think we've been asking that question properly. 0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.719 Is where is the wealth being generated? And how are 0:35:56.719 --> 0:35:59.000 we going to give it entire community access? You know, 0:35:59.080 --> 0:36:01.600 John lewis one of the honors I had to serving 0:36:01.600 --> 0:36:03.319 with him, and he used to say to me, rug 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.000 technology rights and the new civil rights, make sure you 0:36:06.080 --> 0:36:09.759 get talk about people having access to technology talk. You 0:36:09.760 --> 0:36:11.799 got to talk me about this Clafland connection. Because I'm 0:36:11.800 --> 0:36:15.560 from South Carolina. My father in law is a Claffland alumni, Like, well, 0:36:15.600 --> 0:36:19.840 why why Claughlin so sob Jim Cleblin represents that area. 0:36:20.719 --> 0:36:22.960 I had gone down to Claughlin and we met with 0:36:23.000 --> 0:36:25.040 some of the students. He had said, look where I'll come. 0:36:25.320 --> 0:36:30.400 You knew I was keen on getting technology companies to expand, 0:36:30.480 --> 0:36:33.160 and so he said, come down. We went down to 0:36:33.280 --> 0:36:36.920 Claflind and these entrepreneurs, these twenty twenty two year old kids, 0:36:37.040 --> 0:36:42.120 I mean, unbelievable hunger, ambition, vision, but they didn't have 0:36:42.160 --> 0:36:44.120 access to the networks. They don't have access to the 0:36:44.200 --> 0:36:47.080 venture capital, they don't have access to people taking a 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:50.240 shot on them. And I was so impressed with Cloughlin. 0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.200 So I went back and I talked to Zoom and 0:36:52.360 --> 0:36:54.080 they were looking to do something, and I said, why 0:36:54.120 --> 0:36:56.759 don't you partner with Claughlin. Now it's a start. I 0:36:56.800 --> 0:36:59.120 mean they're they're putting a couple million bucks, they're actually 0:36:59.200 --> 0:37:02.600 creating the training programs, they're hiring folks. But what we 0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:05.360 have to do is ask that off all of the companies, 0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:08.480 and to do it broadly with the HBCUs and don't 0:37:08.560 --> 0:37:10.560 let them get off just writing a check. I mean 0:37:10.600 --> 0:37:13.480 that's the you know, what happens is these companies will say, okay, 0:37:13.480 --> 0:37:15.719 we'll write a check to the United Negro Scholar Fund. 0:37:15.840 --> 0:37:17.680 And what happens with the money. Maybe some kids get 0:37:17.719 --> 0:37:20.279 a scholarship. That's great, but they're not getting hired back 0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:23.480 into tech. They're not becoming entrepreneurs, they're not becoming vcs, 0:37:23.560 --> 0:37:28.160 they're not getting funded. And you know, I know it's 0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:30.760 initially I thought, okay, maybe this is just my perspective 0:37:30.760 --> 0:37:33.080 from Silicon valuement. When I go and talk to young kids, 0:37:33.400 --> 0:37:35.839 this a lot of this is what they want. They 0:37:35.880 --> 0:37:38.120 want to make well, they want to get successful, they 0:37:38.120 --> 0:37:41.200 want to they have pride, They they have as big 0:37:41.280 --> 0:37:44.479 dreams as anyone. And I think we sell the dream 0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.359 short where we just talk about the problems that we're 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:50.239 not talking about how we're going to give them access 0:37:50.280 --> 0:37:52.279 to opportunity. Now, Donald Trump, I think came up with 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:56.759 a total you know, sham in my view was superficial thing, 0:37:56.840 --> 0:37:59.440 Platinum plan and you know, the five hundred billion. He 0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:01.400 wasn't even to fund it, it it was it was claiming 0:38:01.400 --> 0:38:03.480 it was going to come from We're going to circulate. Yeah, 0:38:03.560 --> 0:38:07.600 somehow people were gonna make money. But it was strictly 0:38:07.800 --> 0:38:12.600 appealing because he was talking about people get making money 0:38:12.600 --> 0:38:15.080 and people having access to it. Now, what we've got 0:38:15.080 --> 0:38:17.080 to do is say, Okay, we're actually going to have 0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:20.120 the real solutions to how that's going to work. But 0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:22.640 I think we've got to acknowledge that we've got a 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:25.800 real problem in this country. And you know, look, I'm 0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:31.800 on the reparations bill, and I'm for understanding the historical injustices. 0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:36.400 But unless we solve the access to future wealth generation, 0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:40.280 nothing government can do is going to reduce the racial 0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:42.799 wealth gap. If we can't give people the opportunity to 0:38:42.800 --> 0:38:45.239 create wealth, by the way, they can figure it out. 0:38:45.320 --> 0:38:48.600 The same way they figured out how to systemically keep 0:38:48.680 --> 0:38:51.799 us from getting wealth, they can figure out how to 0:38:51.880 --> 0:38:56.320 get systemically create avenues for us to make wealth. You 0:38:56.400 --> 0:38:59.680 got the marijuana industry, industry, We've got so much. It's 0:38:59.719 --> 0:39:02.360 not like the talent is extraordinary. And how do we 0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:04.440 know this? Because any cultural trend in this country, a 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:06.719 lot of it that takes off as partly starts with 0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:10.920 the Black community. That the creativity is extraordinary, the ambition 0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.920 is extraordinary, the desire is there more Black kids want 0:39:13.920 --> 0:39:16.960 to go into tech than the white kids, according to 0:39:17.000 --> 0:39:20.160 some of the studies. So it's in the interest of 0:39:20.280 --> 0:39:24.480 these companies to do it. This report show more diverse 0:39:24.520 --> 0:39:28.560 companies are more profitable there, they better understand consumer needs. 0:39:28.560 --> 0:39:34.200 So what is stopping it? It is ums. It may 0:39:34.239 --> 0:39:36.759 not be blatant bigotry, but it's the soft bigotry. If 0:39:36.800 --> 0:39:39.560 your own networks people don't you know, they don't know 0:39:40.480 --> 0:39:42.680 where all the talent is. They don't they don't want 0:39:42.680 --> 0:39:46.240 to go beyond the people they met at school. They're 0:39:46.280 --> 0:39:49.880 not willing to make that intentional effort to be inclusive. 0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:52.880 And I think that that's that's really the problem. It's 0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:55.000 going to kill us. With China, They've got a billion people. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.200 I mean, how are we going to compete if we're 0:39:57.320 --> 0:40:01.040 writing off whole parts of her population from AI, from 0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:05.399 quantum computing, from all of the new new fields. And then, 0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:08.359 you know, think about if all the digital platforms are 0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:10.279 being created by some people in the black community is 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:12.200 not part of that, how are they going to make 0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.920 sure that their voices are heard and in the design 0:40:15.000 --> 0:40:17.360 of these platforms. All Right, we got more with Rocanna. 0:40:17.400 --> 0:40:19.399 When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club. 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:23.000 Good morning. I thing everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, 0:40:23.080 --> 0:40:25.480 Chalomie the guy we are the breakfast club was still 0:40:25.560 --> 0:40:28.640 kicking him with rocana. Chalomi. Now you know, I saw 0:40:28.680 --> 0:40:31.240 what you said. One hundred and thirty one billion dollars 0:40:31.280 --> 0:40:35.000 in annual venture capital UM, I guess comes into tech 0:40:35.239 --> 0:40:37.160 the tech world, but less than one percent goes to 0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:40.399 black firms. Yeah, less than one percent goes to black 0:40:40.560 --> 0:40:43.480 entrepreneurs and even less to black firms. I mean the 0:40:43.920 --> 0:40:47.319 so the it's a small I mean, it should be 0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:52.160 a national scandal that the exclusion of that. Think I mean, 0:40:52.200 --> 0:40:54.520 think about where all the money is being made. And 0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:57.239 you know in the SNP five hundred ninety percent of 0:40:57.239 --> 0:41:00.439 the game has been the tech over the last five years. 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.120 Where are the billionaires millionaires coming from? Most of them 0:41:03.160 --> 0:41:08.279 a lot of them Dropbox, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, Apple. How 0:41:08.280 --> 0:41:10.960 many folks do you know who are black? Who said okay, 0:41:10.960 --> 0:41:14.000 I had stock options or my company was funded in weipo. 0:41:14.560 --> 0:41:17.440 How need you know who were acquired? It is? It 0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:22.000 is a appalling the level of funding and the talent 0:41:22.160 --> 0:41:25.120 is there, There's just no intentionality. Has anyone been able 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:27.239 to raise the kind of money Rodney Sampson raised in 0:41:27.280 --> 0:41:29.360 two thousands for their black tech company. I was he 0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:32.040 the last one. He's one of twenty. I think black. 0:41:32.320 --> 0:41:34.400 I think Rodney's for Ronney is great. I mean there 0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:36.600 was an opportunity, but I think his fund right now 0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:38.520 is about five to ten million. I mean, there need 0:41:38.560 --> 0:41:41.319 to be a couple more zeros at the end end 0:41:41.360 --> 0:41:43.719 of that. And you know what Rodney is doing with 0:41:43.760 --> 0:41:48.239 Opportunity Hub is amazing work and Morehouse College. He's set 0:41:48.320 --> 0:41:51.360 up a boot camp basically where you will get the 0:41:51.400 --> 0:41:57.040 credentials to have a tech job afterwards. But we've got 0:41:57.040 --> 0:41:58.839 to give him the money to scale it. I mean, 0:41:59.120 --> 0:42:02.960 fifteen billion dollars properly spent scaled with boot camps and 0:42:03.600 --> 0:42:07.040 at HBCUs could get a million young Black men and 0:42:07.080 --> 0:42:10.640 women into these digital opportunities. And then we've got to 0:42:10.680 --> 0:42:13.759 give them the funding to go out and build build. Well. 0:42:14.040 --> 0:42:16.719 You know, there's a great initiative that Tyrants is doing 0:42:16.800 --> 0:42:20.880 in uh In in uh Oklahoma. Of course, people know 0:42:20.960 --> 0:42:26.200 about the Tulsa and the the well Walled Street effort 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:29.440 and how that was destroyed by white people who were 0:42:29.520 --> 0:42:32.200 jealous of basically black success. They destroyed it twice. I mean, 0:42:32.239 --> 0:42:34.759 they first had the riots and then they built the 0:42:34.840 --> 0:42:38.560 highway through uh Tulsa to destroy it the second time, 0:42:38.920 --> 0:42:42.000 and so they're trying to build a tech presence UH 0:42:42.080 --> 0:42:45.960 there to try to replicate replicate that. But these kind 0:42:46.000 --> 0:42:48.800 of efforts are going on all over the country. The 0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:52.840 problem is that there's no funding, there's there's no effort 0:42:52.880 --> 0:42:55.520 and people. You have such a big platform obviously in 0:42:55.560 --> 0:42:58.279 the Breakfast club, but I just think saying that this 0:42:58.360 --> 0:43:01.759 has to be as much of a priority as the 0:43:01.920 --> 0:43:07.319 other issues facing the community long term, because otherwise they'll 0:43:07.360 --> 0:43:09.640 never be. I don't think you can have equality without 0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:14.359 equality of wealth generation. I don't think you can have quality. Yeah, 0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:18.279 the civil no disrespect, but civil rights no that that 0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:20.239 that's not that's that's not going to get us where 0:43:20.280 --> 0:43:21.800 we need to be. And I think that's you know, 0:43:21.800 --> 0:43:23.719 that's when Martin Luiver King Jr. Was pivoting to like 0:43:23.880 --> 0:43:27.359 economic empowerment, you know what I mean, us being financially 0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:31.239 financially stable. The civil rights part, they can they can 0:43:31.320 --> 0:43:33.680 colde racism and hide racism and all types of things. 0:43:33.760 --> 0:43:36.520 But as long as we got that that economic part downpack, 0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.320 I think will be I and the economic guess like, 0:43:39.480 --> 0:43:42.160 I mean, I agree. I mean, obviously you know this better. 0:43:42.239 --> 0:43:45.080 But I think the economic empowerment, it can't just be okay, 0:43:45.520 --> 0:43:49.000 healthcare in a fifteen buck minimum wage and in a 0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:52.000 good union job. Yes, all of those are important, but 0:43:52.640 --> 0:43:54.880 is that the country want to live in that silicon 0:43:54.960 --> 0:43:58.160 valley gets all the millionaires and billionaires and black folks 0:43:58.239 --> 0:44:01.520 are on working class and middle class jobs and no 0:44:01.640 --> 0:44:05.200 wealth creation like that? That is not a true equality, 0:44:05.360 --> 0:44:08.839 especially with the talent, and a lot of the consumerism 0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:11.520 is being driven by the bid community. Their money is 0:44:11.560 --> 0:44:15.480 going to these companies, their money, their talent is driving 0:44:15.560 --> 0:44:19.719 these companies success. Uh. And so I and I think 0:44:19.760 --> 0:44:22.480 that the fixes are easy. I mean, I'm hopeful by 0:44:22.520 --> 0:44:25.080 s Preasi, Biden and Kamierson if they're serious about a 0:44:25.120 --> 0:44:28.680 Divine nine endorse the approach. So you've got a lot 0:44:28.760 --> 0:44:31.880 of the fraternity's historical frattorneys and sororities behind it. And 0:44:32.120 --> 0:44:35.200 if you get someone like Rodney, who's really spent a 0:44:35.239 --> 0:44:38.560 lot of time in this and a few others to spearhead, 0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:40.719 and you give him the resources and you can be 0:44:40.840 --> 0:44:44.160 in the HBCU presidents and you look beyond that, I 0:44:44.280 --> 0:44:46.480 think you could fix this issue. I mean, and we 0:44:46.600 --> 0:44:48.719 need to fix it. Why are you so passionate about it? 0:44:48.800 --> 0:44:51.040 Row Like, why are you so passionate about black people 0:44:51.440 --> 0:44:56.640 acquiring wealth? To take two reasons. One my own story. 0:44:56.800 --> 0:45:02.040 So you know, my grandfather has spent four years in 0:45:02.200 --> 0:45:07.960 jail with Gandhi in the nineteen forties. And I don't 0:45:08.000 --> 0:45:10.040 know if you know James Lawson, but he's a he's 0:45:10.040 --> 0:45:13.640 a great leader. He's actually in la Lawson actually had 0:45:13.680 --> 0:45:19.160 gone to India and uh went was influenced by H. 0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:22.759 Gandhi's movement, and he went and influenced doctor King and 0:45:23.400 --> 0:45:26.960 John Lewis on some of the non violence struggles. And 0:45:27.680 --> 0:45:29.600 if it weren't for the Black Civil rights movement, my 0:45:29.640 --> 0:45:32.520 parents wouldn't have been allowed in this country in nineteen 0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:37.120 sixty five immigration reformat. Before that, you didn't have Indians 0:45:37.239 --> 0:45:39.719 or Chinese basically allowed to come to America. And we 0:45:39.840 --> 0:45:41.799 forget this, and now you got a lot of Indian 0:45:41.840 --> 0:45:45.640 Americans who have succeeded in technology they wouldn't have had 0:45:45.719 --> 0:45:49.359 they wouldn't have been allowed in America, let alone had 0:45:49.400 --> 0:45:52.000 those chances. Look at why there's so many Indians at 0:45:52.160 --> 0:45:56.040 HBCUs because the other universities didn't hire them, so not 0:45:56.160 --> 0:45:58.360 only they come in. So I just think I have 0:45:58.400 --> 0:46:03.760 an obligation or some response ability given this historical circle 0:46:03.840 --> 0:46:08.800 to to do something to make greater access to well generation. 0:46:08.880 --> 0:46:11.600 It's it's what I know, it's where I represent. So 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:13.040 I mean, there are a lot of other issues, but 0:46:13.160 --> 0:46:15.200 this is an issue that where I can make a 0:46:15.320 --> 0:46:18.759 difference and give back to a community that made my 0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:22.960 story possible. Dope, we appreciate you for checking in and 0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:24.880 joining us this morning. Thank you so much. Yeah, so 0:46:24.960 --> 0:46:26.920 give us some give us more information role like tell 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:29.000 us how to reach you or how to for people 0:46:29.040 --> 0:46:31.400 to get in to find out some of the information 0:46:31.440 --> 0:46:32.920 that you're talking about like this, how do we get 0:46:32.920 --> 0:46:36.040 people involved?

All Right, thank 0:47:01.719 --> 0:47:04.080 you so much. Brother, We appreciate you for checking. Thank you, 0:47:05.520 --> 0:47:11.839 thank you. She's filling the team. This is the Ruble 0:47:11.920 --> 0:47:18.279 Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All Right, 0:47:18.480 --> 0:47:22.000 so heap Maker was on Drink Champs and he was 0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:25.719 very chatty. Some things he said I thought was kind 0:47:25.760 --> 0:47:28.120 of wacked to do. But other things he talked about 0:47:28.360 --> 0:47:31.480 was he feels like the same people that set up 0:47:31.480 --> 0:47:34.719 Pop Smoked, the same woman for that home invasion as 0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:36.240 the same people that set him up. If you remember 0:47:36.320 --> 0:47:38.560 his house got broken into. Here's what he said. She 0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:41.880 was sharing. Okay, it was three guys with guns and 0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:44.360 ain't that trying to come and kick in my crib? 0:47:44.480 --> 0:47:47.880 And the crazy thing is like when it was happening, 0:47:48.320 --> 0:47:51.040 instead of her being like a girl in the midst 0:47:51.080 --> 0:47:53.360 of a home invasion, like I was like, she was 0:47:53.440 --> 0:47:58.160 fighting me. Yeah, bro, it was a bro. I'm still like, 0:47:58.320 --> 0:48:02.400 I'm still dealing with PTSD from Higgo Higgo the craziest 0:48:02.960 --> 0:48:07.520 casually like I'm cool with Pop Smoke girlfriend or whatever. 0:48:07.760 --> 0:48:10.279 She had hit me like yeo, like the same dude 0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:14.040 dog Yeah, bro, that's crazy. Yeah. Another reason to settle 0:48:14.080 --> 0:48:16.480 down with one woman in mind your damn business out 0:48:16.520 --> 0:48:18.800 here with all these randoms that you don't speak to 0:48:18.800 --> 0:48:21.879 the screen. Just don't sleep with him either, all right. 0:48:21.960 --> 0:48:25.560 Another thing that he talked about was Shaquille O'Neill building 0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.280 him out of jail. At the video and we're shooting 0:48:28.320 --> 0:48:30.000 the first shot of the day, me and ray J 0:48:30.160 --> 0:48:33.400 and a Lamborghini. We're smoking a blunt. I threw the 0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.640 broach out the car. The police that were keeping us 0:48:36.680 --> 0:48:41.160 Sabe picked up the roach out the Lamborghini locked my 0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:44.000 ass up immediately before the first shot of the day. 0:48:44.560 --> 0:48:46.640 I'm young bird, so now just want me to rap 0:48:46.719 --> 0:48:51.439 from him? That next thing I thought, Shaquille O'Neill bailed 0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:54.239 me out of prison. I gotta list of that four 0:48:54.320 --> 0:48:56.359 Drink Champs episode. Why did Shaq bail him out? What's 0:48:56.400 --> 0:49:00.359 the relationship between Shock and um bird hit maker? He's 0:49:00.400 --> 0:49:02.320 a sheriff in LA he said, or something like that. 0:49:02.560 --> 0:49:06.120 So did they just get the call they call Shock? 0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.759 How like? How did Shock even know? I gotta listen 0:49:08.760 --> 0:49:10.640 to the whole Drink Champs episode. I haven't listened that 0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:15.640 one yet, all right now, M yeah, So, I mean 0:49:16.000 --> 0:49:17.759 some of those things he said. I was like, he's 0:49:17.800 --> 0:49:20.279 talking about a bunch of different women. I thought it 0:49:20.360 --> 0:49:23.359 wasn't cool to do that. When you can go check 0:49:23.400 --> 0:49:25.600 out Drink Champs on you can go check out Drink 0:49:25.680 --> 0:49:29.160 Champs on the Black Effect. iHeartRadio app right now and 0:49:29.280 --> 0:49:32.520 available everywhere you buy a podcast Shout the North.

When Jeez was on the 0:49:36.320 --> 0:49:38.800 Breakfast Club, he was talking about this versus battle that 0:49:38.840 --> 0:49:40.800 he was supposed to do against TI and things have 0:49:40.920 --> 0:49:43.839 such changed. Let me give you guys a refresher. Well. 0:49:43.880 --> 0:49:45.600 I even got the call about verse. I got a 0:49:45.640 --> 0:49:48.319 call from from Swiss. I let yo, Swiss, I really 0:49:48.440 --> 0:49:50.399 you know, if I do it, there's only one person 0:49:50.480 --> 0:49:52.120 I do it with. And he was like who. I 0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:53.719 was like, Guchi, reach out to him, let me know 0:49:53.760 --> 0:49:56.440 what's up. Swiss hit back, see he respectfully to climb 0:49:56.760 --> 0:49:59.200 cool done that would have broke the goddamn in And 0:49:59.239 --> 0:50:02.640 then j this, Yeah, I mean we could have done 0:50:02.680 --> 0:50:05.920 it for the coaching all right, what looks like that 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:08.239 is happening now, So that's going to be happening on 0:50:08.520 --> 0:50:12.399 Thursday that say, can they be in the same moment 0:50:12.480 --> 0:50:15.919 everything be I I mean, clearly they've had some type 0:50:15.920 --> 0:50:18.880 of communication, right, clearly they've had some kind of communication before. 0:50:18.920 --> 0:50:20.800 And if you read Gucci Man's book, it's not the 0:50:20.880 --> 0:50:24.319 first time that you know him and geezf chopped it up. 0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:27.239 You know, soa but I don't know, I don't know, 0:50:27.320 --> 0:50:29.279 but you know I've seen Gucci's post. He said, uh, 0:50:29.880 --> 0:50:34.200 what do he says, uhtree Man versus snow Cone. Yeah, 0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:36.839 but Geez actually called Gucci a snow cone first. If 0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.320 you know your Gucci Geezy beef history on stay scrapped 0:50:39.400 --> 0:50:41.600 up and then said he calls him a little gout 0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:44.600 wap and call and said, don't send your clone. Yeah, 0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:47.880 so can we get I know who you got? You? 0:50:47.960 --> 0:50:51.520 Who you got? Charlomanne Um, I got Geez. But it's 0:50:51.520 --> 0:50:54.760 a sneaky matchup because he the difference between Geez and Gucci. 0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:57.879 GEEZI has complete albums, bodies of work that are better 0:50:57.920 --> 0:51:01.120 than Gucci's. Jeez has two classics, TM one on one 0:51:01.280 --> 0:51:03.800 and The Recession, two really great albums, the inspiration in 0:51:03.880 --> 0:51:06.319 TIM one on three. But Gucci collectively has dropped one 0:51:06.360 --> 0:51:09.680 hundred and eight mixtapes and albums combine, so he's got twenty. 0:51:10.280 --> 0:51:12.759 He's got twenty. Of course, they both got twenty. Who 0:51:12.760 --> 0:51:16.640 wins in that battle? I think Geez, I think Jeez wins. 0:51:16.680 --> 0:51:18.080 But I mean, listen, you got a hell of a 0:51:18.160 --> 0:51:21.040 fan base, bro, a hell of a fan base and giggles, Yeah, 0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:25.880 who you got? Geez? Okay for sure? All right? And 0:51:26.239 --> 0:51:28.920 Whack one hundred is plotting for a fifty cent in 0:51:29.000 --> 0:51:31.880 the game versus battle, So we'll see what happens with that. 0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:34.680 You know, they did shake hands and they were in 0:51:34.719 --> 0:51:37.200 the same club together a couple of times, so maybe 0:51:37.280 --> 0:51:40.280 that could happen. And we're playing a classic Gucci instrumental 0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.440 in the background right now. This this is this freaky girl, 0:51:43.480 --> 0:51:45.719 That's what I'm saying. Gucci's not it's it's it'll be 0:51:45.760 --> 0:51:51.640 a very competitive versus. It could be Mulatto's record too. 0:51:51.640 --> 0:51:54.399 Oh yeah, I've forgotten Alotto's records sampled it. Yeah, it's 0:51:54.440 --> 0:51:57.920 big a lot of Can we get Gucci and Jeezy 0:51:58.000 --> 0:52:00.719 to sit down on the Recessions podcast hosted by Gez 0:52:00.840 --> 0:52:04.520 on the Black Effect Podcast Network though, that's when inquiring 0:52:04.600 --> 0:52:08.440 minds wanted to know, and that happened, all right, t 0:52:08.600 --> 0:52:11.319 I already put his bid in for that podcast. Why 0:52:11.320 --> 0:52:13.719 would Why would you do that? Why would why would 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:15.560 jes do that on t podcast when he has his 0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:18.600 own Because I guess t I was nice enough to 0:52:18.719 --> 0:52:20.720 step to the tide and let him do the battle 0:52:20.719 --> 0:52:22.239 even though he was supposed to be doing it the 0:52:22.360 --> 0:52:24.319 coach and made him step to the side. They were 0:52:24.320 --> 0:52:26.120 gonna push it to the side for this one. Actually 0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.800 I heard Pete. I heard Pete from QC negotiated that. 0:52:28.880 --> 0:52:30.520 But no, yeah, you're right through the coach it too, 0:52:30.600 --> 0:52:32.799 because GZ was on Breakfast Club last week and Gez 0:52:33.120 --> 0:52:35.320 put it out there like at that for from the 0:52:35.360 --> 0:52:37.279 clip that we just played. So I'm sure that that 0:52:37.480 --> 0:52:42.080 changed the tide a little bit, absolutely all right, And 0:52:42.200 --> 0:52:44.200 that is your room of report.

The craziest people in 0:54:13.719 --> 0:54:17.160 America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now, 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:20.200 folks are a little pimp out there campaigning for the 0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:23.840 guy who lost the election, Donald J. Trump. Can we 0:54:23.960 --> 0:54:26.239 hear from that Ratley? We hear that clip? One of 0:54:26.280 --> 0:54:32.279 the big superstars of the world, Little pimp? How's it? God? 0:54:32.280 --> 0:54:34.759 Do you want to come up and say something? Come on, 0:54:35.760 --> 0:54:40.040 little pomp. Does everyone know who he is? Do you 0:54:40.160 --> 0:54:43.640 know how big he is? Come on up here. I'll 0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:46.759 come here to say, mister President, I appreciate anything done 0:54:46.760 --> 0:54:50.040 for our country. You brought the troops home, and you're 0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:54.920 doing the right thing. MAGA twenty twenty twenty, don't forget that. 0:54:56.000 --> 0:55:00.919 Don't forget that, and do not vote for sleepy Joe 0:55:01.160 --> 0:55:06.080 at all. Twenty sounds like too long of a year. Personally, 0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:08.120 I didn't care that he did that. You know the 0:55:08.160 --> 0:55:10.000 reason I didn't care because I have no problem with 0:55:10.080 --> 0:55:12.560 people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't 0:55:12.600 --> 0:55:15.160 agree with their politics. The guy wanted to vote for Trump, 0:55:15.760 --> 0:55:18.440 who cares. Maybe the red Maga hat matches his car. 0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:20.920 I'm sure he has a bright red pair sneakers that 0:55:21.000 --> 0:55:23.359 matches that had Hey, maybe he's blood in the red 0:55:23.440 --> 0:55:25.640 Maga hat with the redder the Republicans makes him feel 0:55:25.640 --> 0:55:28.279 comfortable enough to bang that set. I don't know. I 0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:30.960 didn't care, but what I do acknowledge his cap. And 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:33.439 that's what happens a lot on social media. Just cap 0:55:33.600 --> 0:55:35.520 so much cap on the app, and it's people who 0:55:35.600 --> 0:55:38.239 literally get on there with the sole intention of making 0:55:38.280 --> 0:55:40.640 you care about something that you should not be caring about. 0:55:40.800 --> 0:55:44.400 But the only reason you would care is it's impossible 0:55:44.640 --> 0:55:47.399 to not get swept away by the tide of group think. 0:55:47.680 --> 0:55:49.319 So it can be a person that you have never 0:55:49.480 --> 0:55:52.240 thought of in your life, like a little pimple. Okay, 0:55:52.320 --> 0:55:54.520 you can't name a song, don't know anything about him. 0:55:54.560 --> 0:55:56.719 You probably never even heard of him until you saw 0:55:56.719 --> 0:55:59.120 a bunch of people angry at him on social media 0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:02.920 for support Trump and then clowning him because Trump didn't 0:56:02.920 --> 0:56:05.080 even know his name when he introduced him at the 0:56:05.200 --> 0:56:07.879 rally during the campaign. But since you saw everybody else 0:56:07.920 --> 0:56:11.440 attacking him, you wasted time and energy attacking him too. 0:56:11.800 --> 0:56:15.000 Do you even care today that he supported Trump? Of 0:56:15.160 --> 0:56:18.920 course you don't. Why would you? Okay, Trump a loss, 0:56:19.120 --> 0:56:22.160 therefore Pump's endorsement didn't matter. And you know why Pump's 0:56:22.239 --> 0:56:26.240 endorsement didn't matter even more, because none of this matters 0:56:26.280 --> 0:56:30.400 if you don't vote. And ladies and gettlemen, Little Pump 0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:34.360 did not vote. Oh I loved reading this article on 0:56:34.520 --> 0:56:36.880 Complex over the weekend. Let me read a little bit 0:56:36.920 --> 0:56:39.759 of it. Despite going all in on his support for 0:56:39.840 --> 0:56:43.040 Donald Trump, SoundCloud rapper A Little Pump didn't bother to 0:56:43.160 --> 0:56:46.480 vote in the twenty twenty presidential election. In fact, according 0:56:46.520 --> 0:56:49.080 to the Smoking Gun, Pump didn't even register the vote 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:52.560 end quote. Little Pump's real name is Gazy Garcia, he's 0:56:52.600 --> 0:56:54.480 twenty years old, and he doesn't show up as a 0:56:54.520 --> 0:56:58.240 registered voter on Florida state voter rolls. Okay. These findings 0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.719 were also confirmed by a supervisor for the Miami Dade 0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:03.960 County Elections Department. Let me explain something to y'all, because 0:57:03.960 --> 0:57:07.040 this is bigger than Pump voting for Trump. Okay, It's 0:57:07.040 --> 0:57:10.080 about Pump not practicing what he's preaching. See, I can't 0:57:10.120 --> 0:57:12.440 even call Pump a Trump supporter because you are what 0:57:12.640 --> 0:57:15.480 you do, not what you'll say you will do. And this, 0:57:15.719 --> 0:57:20.920 my friends, is words are getting cheaper and cheaper. This 0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:23.680 is exactly why words are getting cheaper and cheaper. Okay, 0:57:23.720 --> 0:57:25.680 we live in a word economy. All we do is 0:57:26.000 --> 0:57:28.920 to see words all day, non stop, all right, NonStop 0:57:29.000 --> 0:57:34.040 commentary on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, NonStop commentary on podcast, NonStop 0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:37.480 commentary on radio, NonStop commentary on TV. We put so 0:57:37.680 --> 0:57:41.320 much value into the words of people, and never in 0:57:41.440 --> 0:57:44.640 the history of life has talk been cheaper. I'm telling you, 0:57:44.960 --> 0:57:48.920 every single solitary saying you ever heard about words being meaningless? 0:57:49.440 --> 0:57:53.360 This is why. Okay, words are nothing, actions of everything. 0:57:53.480 --> 0:57:55.680 Don't tell me, show me, and I don't want to 0:57:55.800 --> 0:57:58.479 hear it. All right, doesn't matter if little Pump didn't 0:57:58.560 --> 0:58:01.120 vote for Trump. He told people he was voting for him, 0:58:01.160 --> 0:58:03.120 so he may have been plumed people to vote for him. 0:58:03.200 --> 0:58:05.680 Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so it's just as dangerous. 0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:07.680 I hear what y'all saying. But if every vote counts 0:58:07.800 --> 0:58:10.120 and he didn't vote, and he's part of the problem, 0:58:10.320 --> 0:58:12.400 all right, Trump lost because he didn't get enough votes, 0:58:12.440 --> 0:58:14.200 even though he had the second biggest vote to turnout 0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:16.880 in election history. His opponent, Senator Kamala Harris and Joe 0:58:16.920 --> 0:58:19.320 Biden had the biggest turnout in election history. But tomorrow 0:58:19.360 --> 0:58:21.600 of the story is why do we as people continue 0:58:21.640 --> 0:58:23.920 to put so much stock in what people say they 0:58:23.960 --> 0:58:27.080 are going to do when the reality is they aren't 0:58:27.120 --> 0:58:30.280 really doing a damn thing. Okay, your words mean nothing 0:58:30.360 --> 0:58:32.680 when your actions are a complete opposite. This is just 0:58:32.800 --> 0:58:34.920 a teachable moment for all of us. See, I'm the 0:58:34.960 --> 0:58:37.120 type of person I can't say what I'm going to 0:58:37.240 --> 0:58:39.240 do and not do it. I can't tell you what 0:58:39.360 --> 0:58:41.040 I've done if I've never did it. I'm not going 0:58:41.120 --> 0:58:43.440 to tell you to do it if I never did it, 0:58:43.560 --> 0:58:47.000 only because to me, words matter because I'm expecting me 0:58:47.440 --> 0:58:50.320 from other people, and my therapist keeps telling me to 0:58:50.360 --> 0:58:52.760 stop doing that. Okay, look, I get it. When I 0:58:52.840 --> 0:58:55.040 was Pump's age, I was doing a lot of performing too. 0:58:55.120 --> 0:58:56.960 I was saying and doing a lot of things that 0:58:57.080 --> 0:58:59.000 didn't and I didn't really mean it. I just wanted 0:58:59.000 --> 0:59:00.880 to get a reaction out of people, and nat ladies 0:59:00.880 --> 0:59:03.600 and gentlemen. Was when I was at my facus. Okay, 0:59:03.680 --> 0:59:05.720 you can't claim to be real when the words that 0:59:05.800 --> 0:59:08.080 are coming out of your mouth don't match your actions. 0:59:08.360 --> 0:59:13.720 Little pump did all of this for absolutely nothing, going 0:59:13.840 --> 0:59:15.600 hard in the paint and don't even have a real 0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:18.600 dog in the fight. What is the point? Okay? What 0:59:18.800 --> 0:59:21.280 was it for? For clicks, for likes, for retweets. Now, 0:59:21.640 --> 0:59:25.040 why should we believe anything that comes out of his mouth? Ever? Again? 0:59:25.480 --> 0:59:28.120 When your words don't line up with your actions, people 0:59:28.200 --> 0:59:30.640 lose trust in you and everything that you stand for. 0:59:30.880 --> 0:59:34.000 So please, kids, listen to your uncle Charlot when I 0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:37.640 tell you, make sure, make sure, without a shadow of 0:59:37.720 --> 0:59:41.480 a doubt, that your actions and behaviors live up to 0:59:41.760 --> 0:59:45.920 and reflect the words ideas, promises, and commitments that come 0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:48.000 out of your mouth. Please give a little pump to 0:59:48.040 --> 0:59:56.360 sweet shots of the Hamiltones. You are the doggy the day, 0:59:58.720 --> 1:00:13.439 you the donkey, the he that's a nice teacher one moment, 1:00:13.480 --> 1:00:16.000 make sure that your actions and behaviors live up to 1:00:16.080 --> 1:00:19.280 and reflect the words ideas, promises, and commitments that come 1:00:19.360 --> 1:00:21.760 out of your mouth. All right, well, thank you for 1:00:21.800 --> 1:00:24.760 that donkey today. Now when we come back. Isaac Hayes, 1:00:24.880 --> 1:00:28.160 the third will be joining us.

We got a special guest in the building, 1:00:54.800 --> 1:00:57.400 I should say on the line right now, Isaac Hayes. 1:00:58.400 --> 1:01:02.400 Isaac is an unofficial elected official in Atlanta, Georgia. I 1:01:02.440 --> 1:01:05.920 don't know. He does a little bit of everything, but 1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:09.040 he's here this morning to talk about what's on his shirt. Man. 1:01:09.200 --> 1:01:12.160 Fan Base's fan base. Well, first of all, I made 1:01:12.200 --> 1:01:13.800 it to the Breakfast Club. This is an honor, Like, 1:01:14.160 --> 1:01:16.200 I'm really excited to be here. You guys are legends. 1:01:16.320 --> 1:01:19.120 Thanks for having me. Fan Base is a startup that 1:01:19.240 --> 1:01:23.560 I've founded that allows anyone to monetize their content. Any 1:01:23.560 --> 1:01:25.800 and every person can monetize their content and make money 1:01:25.840 --> 1:01:27.480 off their content. What you mean? What you mean? Off 1:01:27.520 --> 1:01:31.760 their content so you can have followers and subscribers so 1:01:32.080 --> 1:01:34.120 you know, there's a lot of networks social networks out 1:01:34.160 --> 1:01:36.360 here that allow people to monetize their content. Everybody knows 1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:41.960 about only fans Patreon, but fan Base is a social 1:01:42.080 --> 1:01:46.080 network that allows anybody to monetize their content by having subscribers. 1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:48.480 You could also have followers, so you could have a 1:01:48.960 --> 1:01:52.360 ten thousand followers and thousand subscribers and it's on the 1:01:52.440 --> 1:01:55.800 same platform, so you're not isolated from content. And I'm 1:01:56.000 --> 1:01:59.920 providing content monetization to everybody. Like everybody, we all make content. 1:02:00.520 --> 1:02:03.200 All you guys are content creators, and you guys have 1:02:03.280 --> 1:02:06.960 an opportunity to monetize your content and make money. I 1:02:07.040 --> 1:02:08.440 think walking me through this the other day and I 1:02:08.520 --> 1:02:12.080 thought it was dope because the concept, you have the vision, 1:02:12.160 --> 1:02:17.600 you have to create black wealth from this for multiple beer. Absolutely. 1:02:17.680 --> 1:02:21.200 So what I'm doing is shout out to don Dixon, 1:02:21.240 --> 1:02:23.920 who've been on the Breakfast Club. She's like my mentor 1:02:23.960 --> 1:02:26.520 in this process. But they recommended me for a platform 1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:29.360 called start Engine and Startedge as a platform that allows 1:02:29.400 --> 1:02:33.360 you to crowdfund money and the seed stage. And I'm 1:02:33.360 --> 1:02:36.080 gonna tell you why that's important because I'm taking advantage 1:02:36.720 --> 1:02:40.600 of a statue some new legislation called the Jobs Act 1:02:41.160 --> 1:02:45.800 that allows the general public to raise funds for a startup. Now, 1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:49.480 you couldn't do this before Obama Biden passed the Jobs 1:02:49.520 --> 1:02:53.120 Act twenty twelve. So from nineteen thirty three to two 1:02:53.160 --> 1:02:56.040 thousand and twelve, you had to be a credited investor 1:02:56.120 --> 1:02:58.400 to invest in the seed stage company. That means you 1:02:58.520 --> 1:03:00.960 had to have a net worth of allion dollars minus 1:03:01.000 --> 1:03:04.640 your primary residents or make two hundred thousand dollars a 1:03:04.800 --> 1:03:07.000 year for two years in a row. Now think about that, 1:03:07.080 --> 1:03:09.080 from nineteen thirty three two now, that's like ninety nine 1:03:09.080 --> 1:03:11.600 percent of Americans didn't have that money. So all this time, 1:03:11.640 --> 1:03:13.919 the rich have been getting mature. So if you wonder 1:03:14.000 --> 1:03:16.120 why you never got a call to invest in Uber 1:03:16.480 --> 1:03:19.520 or Instagram or TikTok or any of these platforms because 1:03:19.600 --> 1:03:22.000 you were not rich enough. So now because of the 1:03:22.120 --> 1:03:25.240 Jobs Act, I'm able to raise funds from my startup, 1:03:25.680 --> 1:03:29.040 and I'm raising a million dollars on start Engine and 1:03:29.320 --> 1:03:31.600 right now we're about one hundred and seventy six thousand 1:03:31.640 --> 1:03:36.200 dollars in about eleven days. So the raisers moving very well. 1:03:36.240 --> 1:03:38.560 We have a lot of great people on the platform, 1:03:38.680 --> 1:03:41.320 that have invested. I think every investor that has contributed. 1:03:41.520 --> 1:03:44.600 I want everybody to invest because this is an opportunity 1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:48.040 to create black wealth off the culture that we create. Right, 1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:52.200 we give our we give our dances to TikTok, we 1:03:52.360 --> 1:03:55.520 give our clapbacks and our humor to Twitter. We give 1:03:55.560 --> 1:03:58.480 our content and our energy to Instagram. But we don't 1:03:58.480 --> 1:04:01.880 own any of those platforms. So fan Base. Fan Base 1:04:02.000 --> 1:04:05.640 is not a black platform, right, It's a platform for everybody. 1:04:05.680 --> 1:04:08.280 But I know, as you know, that black culture we 1:04:08.400 --> 1:04:11.720 drive these social networks. We make everything popping. So to 1:04:11.840 --> 1:04:13.919 be able to invest in the seed stage and own 1:04:14.000 --> 1:04:16.160 part of a platform that you also give your culture 1:04:16.200 --> 1:04:18.960 too is incredible and I want everybody to take advantage 1:04:19.000 --> 1:04:20.560 of that. Yeah, what is fan Base available? Can I 1:04:20.600 --> 1:04:22.680 download it now? Can I get it now? You can? 1:04:23.000 --> 1:04:24.520 You can get it on the Apple app Store. We're 1:04:24.560 --> 1:04:26.360 only on the Apple App Store right now. We're working 1:04:26.440 --> 1:04:32.080 on Android. Android is coming in first supporter. Yeah, absolutely free. 1:04:32.560 --> 1:04:34.320 You can set it up, make a page. Matter of fact, 1:04:34.840 --> 1:04:38.240 I'll verify you both like that. You know, I know 1:04:38.280 --> 1:04:41.479 a guy that works there. So yeah, and you can start. 1:04:42.040 --> 1:04:45.600 You can start posting content and U and monetizing your content, 1:04:45.640 --> 1:04:47.680 and I think that's very important because you can actually 1:04:47.720 --> 1:04:50.440 do long form too, so you can blow up to 1:04:50.520 --> 1:04:53.640 an hour's worth of content h long form style. So 1:04:53.760 --> 1:04:56.240 now you're your own Netflix. So the quality of content 1:04:56.280 --> 1:04:58.800 you put on your fan based page, you monetize that, 1:04:59.240 --> 1:05:02.680 and so it's avail now. Um, the rev share is 1:05:02.760 --> 1:05:05.760 fifty fifty for anybody that wants to know, you make 1:05:05.840 --> 1:05:08.440 fifty percent of the revenue. And you can also like 1:05:08.600 --> 1:05:10.600 and love content. So you love a piece of content, 1:05:10.640 --> 1:05:12.640 you get the content, create a half a penny, you 1:05:12.680 --> 1:05:14.480 can like for free. But you can also tip content 1:05:14.480 --> 1:05:17.040 creators half a penny or unlocked posts. So it's an 1:05:17.160 --> 1:05:20.560 enormous amount of freedom there to monetize your content. And 1:05:21.040 --> 1:05:22.680 there's a lot of wealth that's going to be generated 1:05:22.720 --> 1:05:24.480 from this platform. Now is it better? Do you make 1:05:24.560 --> 1:05:26.120 more money than you could on only Fans? Because I 1:05:26.160 --> 1:05:30.200 see everybody running the only fans I mean only fans 1:05:30.360 --> 1:05:33.520 is really a great opportunity for sex workers and people 1:05:33.600 --> 1:05:36.440 that want to use the platform that no listen, no, 1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.480 I'm not, I'm not, I'm not knocking. Only fans is 1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:43.560 no listen. The sex worker community is really aggravated because 1:05:43.600 --> 1:05:46.080 it was really their place, right, I gotta I gotta, 1:05:46.120 --> 1:05:48.320 I gotta deem this money, like I gotta deem this 1:05:48.400 --> 1:05:49.840 morning from a girl that was like, Yo, I'm a 1:05:49.920 --> 1:05:53.680 sex work on only fans and we're frustrated because ever 1:05:53.800 --> 1:05:55.640 since Bella Thorne came over there and messed it up 1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:58.080 for everybody, charging all that money, and everybody charged back 1:05:58.120 --> 1:06:00.560 there their money, they messed it up for this X workers. 1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:04.400 So that's a real niche market for them. And because 1:06:04.480 --> 1:06:06.800 of that, only fans is not allowed on the Apple 1:06:06.800 --> 1:06:09.000 App Store, the Google Play Store because they consider the 1:06:09.040 --> 1:06:11.160 point site. So it's a web bap so it's not 1:06:11.240 --> 1:06:13.320 a social network, you know what I'm saying. So it's 1:06:13.360 --> 1:06:15.120 not a place that are everybody's gonna get on there. 1:06:15.120 --> 1:06:16.560 And you know, I don't know if any of you 1:06:16.640 --> 1:06:18.000 are an only fans, but you're not gonna get on 1:06:18.040 --> 1:06:19.480 the neighbor like hey guy, let me sing you this 1:06:19.600 --> 1:06:21.720 girl or look at this and talk, you know, communication. 1:06:21.760 --> 1:06:23.920 I thought about using the platform because see I like 1:06:24.040 --> 1:06:26.240 the platform already because it's set up, so let's think 1:06:26.240 --> 1:06:28.240 about it like this, right. You know, I do real estate, 1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:30.760 so every week I have somebody on there talking about 1:06:30.800 --> 1:06:32.960 real estate. Where people could subscribe and go to it, 1:06:33.040 --> 1:06:35.120 you know what I mean. So, but I just felt 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:37.160 like only fans, like you said, felt like a little 1:06:37.480 --> 1:06:39.120 sex workers. I don't I don't want people to come 1:06:39.160 --> 1:06:40.880 to my site and subscribe and think and he was 1:06:40.880 --> 1:06:44.000 gonna be in a man throne. Let's see the show. Absolutely, 1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:50.080 you see, but absolutely, and and it kind of and 1:06:50.200 --> 1:06:52.680 it drives away like two things that it does keep 1:06:52.720 --> 1:06:56.040 away from the platform, which are brands which are definitely 1:06:56.080 --> 1:06:58.520 gonna be a part of fan base, because every brand 1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:00.480 has a has a fan base. You know, Nike has 1:07:00.520 --> 1:07:03.000 a fan base the time. All these brands and fan bases, 1:07:03.280 --> 1:07:05.520 and then a large group of women that don't really 1:07:05.560 --> 1:07:08.360 want to be associated with that site because of the 1:07:08.480 --> 1:07:10.600 sex works. And so you can go to you can 1:07:10.600 --> 1:07:11.960 go to fan base and make a page. You can 1:07:12.040 --> 1:07:15.360 monetize your photos, your videos, your long form content, and 1:07:15.480 --> 1:07:17.960 your live so everything. You can make money off all 1:07:18.000 --> 1:07:20.720 of that. And we're not thralling down engagement. So everybody's 1:07:20.760 --> 1:07:23.640 been complaining about the algorithms on these other apps. We're 1:07:23.680 --> 1:07:26.360 not throttling your engagement down. How many followers you got 1:07:26.480 --> 1:07:30.680 envy on all social media platforms or just Instagram, give 1:07:30.720 --> 1:07:32.640 me Instagram, Instagram, and I think it's like two million, 1:07:32.760 --> 1:07:35.080 and I think on all platforms about over three million. 1:07:35.480 --> 1:07:38.000 So if you go live on Instagram, they don't send 1:07:38.040 --> 1:07:40.920 out two million notifications. I mean you only get a 1:07:40.960 --> 1:07:43.160 fresh And Instagram is funny. Now they change the way 1:07:43.200 --> 1:07:45.480 they do it. They change the like even on the 1:07:45.520 --> 1:07:47.880 way people the people view your videos and view your 1:07:47.920 --> 1:07:50.720 live they changed it now, which is crazy. They throttle 1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:53.560 it down. And this is this is what my experience, 1:07:53.960 --> 1:07:56.560 my engagement to throttle down. And I've heard people complain 1:07:56.640 --> 1:07:59.240 because they really want to have access. They really want 1:07:59.240 --> 1:08:00.800 you to pay to that audience because they're an ad 1:08:00.920 --> 1:08:04.040 based platform. Well on fan base, if you go live, 1:08:04.200 --> 1:08:06.160 I want to send out two million notifications because the 1:08:06.240 --> 1:08:08.640 more eyeballs you have on me, the more people convert 1:08:08.680 --> 1:08:11.080 to subscribers. Therefore, the more money you make, the more 1:08:11.160 --> 1:08:13.640 profitable we are. And if people are making money, people 1:08:13.640 --> 1:08:16.840 are happy and they're using the platform, that's right, all right. 1:08:16.880 --> 1:08:19.439 We got more with Isaac Hays the third keep a 1:08:19.520 --> 1:08:22.519 lock This the Breakfast Club, Good morning, everybody is DJ 1:08:23.040 --> 1:08:26.360 Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are. The Breakfast 1:08:26.479 --> 1:08:30.080 Club was still kicking it with Isaac Hayes, the third Charlomagne. 1:08:30.240 --> 1:08:33.519 You know one thing you showed me that I was like, wow, 1:08:33.880 --> 1:08:36.559 it's not large amounts of money these people invest into 1:08:36.600 --> 1:08:38.920 these social media sites. I mean not in you know, 1:08:38.960 --> 1:08:41.680 one hundred millionaires, sometimes billionaires, But they didn't invest a 1:08:41.720 --> 1:08:44.160 lot of money into these social media sites. So let 1:08:44.200 --> 1:08:47.360 me let me give you an idea about seed stage investment, right, 1:08:47.760 --> 1:08:51.639 So I'll use Urn Michaels as an example. He invested 1:08:51.680 --> 1:08:54.000 five thousand dollars into uber and the seed stage in 1:08:54.080 --> 1:08:56.160 two and ten, and in twenty nineteen it was worth 1:08:56.240 --> 1:09:00.280 twenty four million dollars. Think about then, it's an a 1:09:00.320 --> 1:09:03.600 credited investor. You never got that phone call. So the 1:09:03.720 --> 1:09:06.840 fact that I'm having a seed stage round in my 1:09:06.960 --> 1:09:10.559 startup to allow the black community predominantly, you know, because 1:09:10.720 --> 1:09:13.759 this is exactly like I mean, understanding that black culture 1:09:13.800 --> 1:09:16.640 drives these networks. I want black people to invest. I 1:09:16.760 --> 1:09:19.800 want every influencer out there, every artist to say, you 1:09:19.840 --> 1:09:21.280 know what, I'm gonna take a little bit of money 1:09:21.640 --> 1:09:23.600 investing in fan base and then I'm gonna bring my 1:09:23.640 --> 1:09:25.280 audience over there. So I'm gonna make money on the 1:09:25.320 --> 1:09:27.439 front end. And the back end. It's a win win 1:09:27.600 --> 1:09:30.240 because if you use the app, you're actually you're actually 1:09:30.280 --> 1:09:33.240 pumping up your evaluation. You're actually making the company go 1:09:33.520 --> 1:09:36.439 higher right in valuation by you simply using the app, 1:09:36.720 --> 1:09:40.200 and you're making money. So you know that's that's a real, 1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:43.040 real important aspect to this raise. And the minimum investment 1:09:43.360 --> 1:09:46.080 is two hundred and fifty six dollars. Wow, So I 1:09:46.120 --> 1:09:48.479 mean in Atlanta we blown who couldect that? Every day? 1:09:49.200 --> 1:09:51.800 So we doing Georgians were doing, who can we do it? 1:09:51.880 --> 1:09:55.519 Heney for three hundred a bottle? So you know, how 1:09:55.520 --> 1:09:56.920 about you throw a little bit of money into a 1:09:56.960 --> 1:09:59.040 startup and turn around one day and say, now I 1:09:59.120 --> 1:10:02.080 can buy a lot of So I'm saying knocking by 1:10:02.120 --> 1:10:04.160 all the hendy I want? Which one is that's it? 1:10:04.280 --> 1:10:07.040 Right there? No? Absolutely, the one with the lightning bolt 1:10:07.360 --> 1:10:11.960 after the top. Yes, yes, indeed. So anybody that invests 1:10:12.160 --> 1:10:15.320 right your your investment will convert at a liquidity event, 1:10:15.400 --> 1:10:19.200 which means either we exit the company right with with 1:10:19.320 --> 1:10:22.600 an acquisition, or we go public with an IPO or 1:10:22.640 --> 1:10:26.080 a merger. So what I've been noticing, the trend that 1:10:26.080 --> 1:10:29.040 I've been noticing on these startups is The valuation of 1:10:29.120 --> 1:10:32.360 these platforms has been skyrocking even in the last eight years. 1:10:32.920 --> 1:10:35.680 Like Instagram sold for a billion in two twelve, and 1:10:35.720 --> 1:10:38.640 everybody thought that was amazing, and then What's upsold for 1:10:38.800 --> 1:10:41.200 nineteen billion I think in twenty fourteen, and I think 1:10:41.680 --> 1:10:44.519 LinkedIn sold for like twenty four billion in like twenty sixteen, 1:10:44.560 --> 1:10:47.400 twenty seventeen, and now you've got TikTok at a fifty 1:10:47.439 --> 1:10:51.360 billion dollars valuation, right, So imagine exiting, imagining a company 1:10:51.439 --> 1:10:54.840 like fan Base exiting potentially at an evaluation like that. 1:10:54.920 --> 1:10:57.920 It's not guaranteed. I'm making no guarantees, but the trend 1:10:58.000 --> 1:11:01.560 in which these platforms are going, the valuations are skyrocking 1:11:01.600 --> 1:11:04.760 because the youth are getting on these platforms. There's five 1:11:04.880 --> 1:11:08.439 G that's available and everybody understands gamification and in that 1:11:08.600 --> 1:11:12.120 purchases and payment. So it's very, very important. Like I 1:11:12.160 --> 1:11:14.880 think there's a great enormous amount of opportunity to invest 1:11:14.920 --> 1:11:16.400 in the platform like this. I don't want people to 1:11:16.439 --> 1:11:18.160 miss out and be like, man, that shouldn't invested in 1:11:18.240 --> 1:11:20.880 fan base, you know, and then they miss out. Do 1:11:21.040 --> 1:11:23.639 you have a cap for the seed money? Like you said, 1:11:23.680 --> 1:11:26.640 you know what I got so many people. So the 1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:30.559 raise closes at one million dollars, right, and so it's 1:11:30.640 --> 1:11:34.639 open now. We're going to continue to raise capital. It's 1:11:34.720 --> 1:11:36.680 moving pretty fast, like given in the last day. I 1:11:36.760 --> 1:11:39.719 think we've raised maybe twenty five or thirty thousand dollars 1:11:39.760 --> 1:11:43.720 since yesterday, so it's moving pretty fast. You can go 1:11:43.800 --> 1:11:46.400 to start engine dot com slash fan base and invest 1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:50.600 right now. It's extremely important and it's a great opportunity 1:11:50.600 --> 1:11:52.880 for you to get on part of a seed stage company. 1:11:53.040 --> 1:11:54.519 That's just the most important thing. And I want to 1:11:54.560 --> 1:11:57.800 see everybody went. I would love nothing more than four 1:11:57.880 --> 1:11:59.439 to five years from now, I'll be standing in a 1:11:59.520 --> 1:12:02.759 room with everybody that invested, with a bunch of African 1:12:02.800 --> 1:12:06.080 American millionaires that really put their capital into a company, 1:12:06.120 --> 1:12:08.760 and we turned it into something special based off of 1:12:08.880 --> 1:12:13.680 what we do. Base so verify me. So I'm um, 1:12:14.160 --> 1:12:15.960 I'm bad. I could verify you right now on my 1:12:16.080 --> 1:12:17.880 phone in front of you. All right, we're going to 1:12:19.000 --> 1:12:21.720 We're gonna we're going to invest too before you go either, 1:12:21.760 --> 1:12:24.040 because you know, we kind of backed up a little bit. 1:12:24.080 --> 1:12:28.280 Can you tell us what's the importance of supporting those 1:12:28.360 --> 1:12:33.120 Senate seats in Georgia. Uh, come January. So I mean, 1:12:33.400 --> 1:12:35.519 for all the for all the energy that we put 1:12:35.600 --> 1:12:38.200 on Joe Biden and what we want him to promise, 1:12:38.600 --> 1:12:42.679 fulfilling his promises, he still needs permission. That's how government works. 1:12:42.960 --> 1:12:46.200 So the House and the Senate give the president permission 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:49.479 to pass what he wants. So these two Senate seats, right, 1:12:49.680 --> 1:12:53.559 Johnsoff and Raphael Warner are key in Joe Biden passing 1:12:53.640 --> 1:12:56.080 his agenda. So we want to be able to say, 1:12:56.560 --> 1:12:58.479 not say that Joe Biden didn't do anything for the 1:12:58.520 --> 1:13:02.320 African American community if it will only be well if 1:13:02.400 --> 1:13:04.560 part of the reason will be because we did not 1:13:04.680 --> 1:13:07.320 have these two sentence seats to allow his legislation to 1:13:07.479 --> 1:13:10.280 smoothly pass through. So that is exactly why we need 1:13:10.320 --> 1:13:11.599 to get out here in Georgia. And what I hear 1:13:11.680 --> 1:13:13.320 is a lot of people are coming to Georgia. I 1:13:13.439 --> 1:13:15.559 hear people areheaded to hear the post up and stay 1:13:15.600 --> 1:13:19.040 down here for a little while until this election is one. 1:13:19.360 --> 1:13:21.280 You got should come down maybe if you have a chance, 1:13:21.280 --> 1:13:22.640 you're to come down for a couple of weeks and 1:13:22.720 --> 1:13:26.439 kick it. We're going down the absolutely absolutely, So we 1:13:26.520 --> 1:13:29.400 havevide everybody to come down. You know the world is 1:13:29.439 --> 1:13:31.559 going to come here and help win this selection. Donald 1:13:31.600 --> 1:13:34.360 Trump is pouting. Let him pout. He's no longer the president. 1:13:34.400 --> 1:13:36.200 We're all happy, but we have to really keep our 1:13:36.240 --> 1:13:38.680 eye on the prize and continue to vote like this 1:13:38.800 --> 1:13:40.400 doesn't stop. This is only the beginning. This is not 1:13:40.520 --> 1:13:42.519 the finish line. This is the starting line, and the 1:13:42.600 --> 1:13:45.120 race never ends. Did you did you see that potential 1:13:45.200 --> 1:13:49.560 for Georgia, the potential for Georgia turn blue. Okay, absolutely, 1:13:49.640 --> 1:13:51.879 I mean they you know, they've been doing voter suppression 1:13:51.880 --> 1:13:55.000 down here, those tactics for a long long while. Stacy 1:13:55.080 --> 1:13:57.599 Abrams should have been governor. I hope she runs again. 1:13:58.560 --> 1:14:01.720 The power, you know, the power in this very um 1:14:02.240 --> 1:14:06.000 you know, emerging progressive city, especially places in Atlanta, in 1:14:06.040 --> 1:14:09.599 the South, Savannah Making Columbus where a lot of black 1:14:09.760 --> 1:14:12.200 arm claves are because the black vote is really what 1:14:12.360 --> 1:14:15.280 won Georgia at the end of the day, um, you know, 1:14:15.439 --> 1:14:18.559 for for Biden in the country, all these democratic cities 1:14:18.760 --> 1:14:21.960 with African American turnout see And the best thing about 1:14:22.040 --> 1:14:24.519 that is is it gives us hope now because more 1:14:24.600 --> 1:14:26.600 people most people say, oh man, we never went in 1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:28.680 Georgia like why I get out and vote every year 1:14:28.680 --> 1:14:31.000 and nothing ever happens. But now you see with the 1:14:31.040 --> 1:14:33.559 effect of our vote, what it's done, and we flipped 1:14:33.560 --> 1:14:36.080 Georgia blue. And so now it gives us the energy 1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:39.919 and motivation and also our neighbors, our neighbors in South Carolina, 1:14:40.000 --> 1:14:43.680 our neighbors, our neighbors in Alabama, Alabama and Mississippi and 1:14:43.760 --> 1:14:45.679 in Florida to really say, you know what, if Georgia 1:14:45.720 --> 1:14:49.200 can do it, we can do it. That's really happened. Yeah. Absolutely. 1:14:49.200 --> 1:14:50.559 As soon as I saw that as the fourth thing 1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:52.360 I said, I hit Jamie Harrison and I hit Boocar. 1:14:52.680 --> 1:14:54.040 I'm like, I don't know what we gotta do. Well, 1:14:54.040 --> 1:14:56.360 we gotta turn South Carolina blue. We gotta like, we 1:14:56.400 --> 1:15:01.760 gotta follows then in Georgia. And what that does is 1:15:01.920 --> 1:15:05.120 it creates like a mentality and energy and confidence like okay, 1:15:05.400 --> 1:15:07.479 can we start. We get on our we get on 1:15:07.520 --> 1:15:10.479 our own vibe. And what that does is it helps 1:15:10.560 --> 1:15:13.040 us to actually pass the legislation on the local and 1:15:13.120 --> 1:15:15.720 federal level. Like what I would love nothing more in 1:15:15.880 --> 1:15:20.639 Georgia is to get we decriminalize statewide and actually legalize 1:15:20.680 --> 1:15:24.240 the sale and then somehow find some legislation that matches 1:15:24.280 --> 1:15:28.080 the amount of effect of negative effect that the weed 1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:30.960 weed charges have had on the African American community, to 1:15:31.000 --> 1:15:35.160 provide opportunity for us to have those grow licenses and 1:15:35.280 --> 1:15:39.040 profit off that business. The people affected by that legislation 1:15:39.320 --> 1:15:41.840 and those laws should be the ones to benefit the most. 1:15:42.000 --> 1:15:44.719 Right now, that's not happening. But we need a governor 1:15:44.760 --> 1:15:47.120 in place and a state legislature in place to make 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:49.240 sure that that happens. So Georgia can really do that. 1:15:49.439 --> 1:15:51.360 And there's and the great thing about that is there's 1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:53.599 a lot of African American people that own land in Georgia, 1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:56.000 a lot of black landowners in Georgia. But it's a 1:15:56.080 --> 1:15:58.600 great opportunity. A well, give us that fan base in 1:15:58.680 --> 1:16:02.599 for one more time.
