Speaker 1: And it looks like the Brooklyn Nets might be getting
Speaker 1: James harden Um. Yeah, what happens? That's getting James harden Yep,
Speaker 1: that's the first on his list of the teams he

Speaker 1: did this happen. I'm talk abou getting rid of Rust
Speaker 1: Westrook over the weekend. When did they talk about getting
Speaker 1: rid of James Harden. Well, James Harden says he possibly
Speaker 1: would like a trade in the first team you would
Speaker 1: like to go to it is the Brooklyn Nets. Let's
Speaker 1: go Brooklyn, all right? And you know you saw the
Speaker 1: Miami Marlins have hired their first ever woman general manager
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball and that's a huge thing. She's
Speaker 1: the highest ranking woman in baseball operations among the thirty
Speaker 1: MLB teams, so that is really dope. So congratulations to her, Kim,
Speaker 1: And all right, now let's talk about Barack Obama. He
Speaker 1: was on the Gail King on CBS Sunday morning, and
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say. He had a pretty
Speaker 1: interesting interview about why he won't be joining Biden's staff.
Speaker 1: He doesn't need my advice, and I will help him
Speaker 1: in any ways that I can now. I'm not planning
Speaker 1: to suddenly work on the White House staff or something.
Speaker 1: There are probably some things I would not be doing
Speaker 1: because Michelle would leave me. She'd be like, what you're doing?
Speaker 1: What I would you thinking? I was going to say
Speaker 1: when he was on sixty minutes just to expand on that.
Speaker 1: He was on sixty Minutes as wells in the evening
Speaker 1: with Scott Pelle, and he talked about how Michelle Obama
Speaker 1: did not even want him to run for president. Just
Speaker 1: two years earlier, I'd run for the US Senate. Two
Speaker 1: years before that, I had run for Congress. A couple
Speaker 1: of years before that, I'd run for the State Senate.
Speaker 1: We've got two young kids. Michelle's still working, And I
Speaker 1: asked myself in the book, how much of this is
Speaker 1: just megalomania? How much of this is me trying to
Speaker 1: prove something to myself? And over time she made a
Speaker 1: conclusion that I shouldn't stand in the way, And the
Speaker 1: fact that I ended up winning didn't necessarily alleviate her frustration,
Speaker 1: because the TOLLA takes on families is real. Well, I
Speaker 1: can't wait to read Barack Obama's book. It's three hundred
Speaker 1: pages longer than Michelle's book. By the way, Michelle's book
Speaker 1: was for sixteate. Obama's book is seven hundred plus. But
Speaker 1: why would you be president of the United States and
Speaker 1: didn't come back to work in somebody's cabinet? That's that's
Speaker 1: hustling backwards and it were friends. I can consult you,
Speaker 1: call my phone. I'm not about to come work in
Speaker 1: the cabinet. Has that ever happened? If the president ever
Speaker 1: been president and went to work in somebody's cabinet. I
Speaker 1: don't think so. Sense like you said, well, I think
Speaker 1: at first she was just asking him about what, you know,
Speaker 1: is he giving him any advice? And then it was
Speaker 1: just a follow up because he was saying he doesn't
Speaker 1: think Joe Biden needs any advice from him. So yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just weird, like why would like, why I was president,
Speaker 1: why would I come work in the cabinet for you?
Speaker 1: Like I don't know. All right, well that is your
Speaker 1: front page news, all right, get it off few chess
Speaker 1: eight ondred five eight five five one. If you need
Speaker 1: to vent, hit us up right now. It's the breakfast Club.

Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about Benny the Butcher getting shot.
Speaker 1: We'll also talk about coronavirus and a few different people
Speaker 1: who have come forward and said that they have it.
Speaker 1: One person is an intensive care all right, we'll get
Speaker 1: into that next. Keeping lock this the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. It's about Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. Well,
Speaker 1: Benny the Butcher, he suffered a gunshot wound. They said
Speaker 1: it was in his leg and according to the Houston
Speaker 1: Police Department, they told TMZ that he was in town
Speaker 1: Saturday visiting a local walmart. While he was with his
Speaker 1: friends in the car and the lot, they said, a
Speaker 1: car with five guys pulled up next to them, took
Speaker 1: out some guns and demanded their chains. Apparently they were
Speaker 1: moving too slowly and caught. And the cops say that
Speaker 1: one the guys fired around into Bennie the Butcher's leg
Speaker 1: and that's what caused them to flee after that, So
Speaker 1: eventually they did pull over and call the police. He
Speaker 1: was taken to the hospital for a treatment. Wow, look
Speaker 1: to the good brother, Bennie the Butcher. Sending positive energy,
Speaker 1: love and light to that brother. Everybody needs to keep
Speaker 1: their head on a swivel. It's been a rough year.
Speaker 1: People are hungry, it's the holiday season. People are starving,
Speaker 1: and a lot of brothers out here looking like meal tickets.
Speaker 1: If you got it and they don't, they will come
Speaker 1: take it from you, simple as that. So pay attention
Speaker 1: and most importantly stay out the way, all right. And
Speaker 1: Boozy Badass got shot also over the weekend in the
Speaker 1: leg in Dallas, and Yes, so according to law enforcement sources,
Speaker 1: they said that he was shot after he was in
Speaker 1: a sprinter van near a strip mall and then he
Speaker 1: stopped by another venue. He was paying his respects to
Speaker 1: Mo three, the rapper that was signed to him that
Speaker 1: was recently killed, and they said at some point somebody
Speaker 1: opened fire on the vehicles and one of the bullets
Speaker 1: struck him in the leg. And the shooters are also
Speaker 1: at large today. So Boosey did end up going to
Speaker 1: the hospital and he was treated for a gunshot wound
Speaker 1: below the knee, and that he is doing okay, you know,
Speaker 1: Like I said, man, salute to Boosey, Salute to that brother.
Speaker 1: Keep your head on the swivel, pay attention and stay
Speaker 1: out the way. And you also got to remember too
Speaker 1: who you are sometimes like you can't do what everybody
Speaker 1: else does. That's why you don't have what everybody else has,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You have different access for
Speaker 1: different reasons, which in both cases there was. It was
Speaker 1: a bunch of people with them though, So it seems
Speaker 1: like they might have had security with them, because I
Speaker 1: mean they're going and traveling different states, they're doing shows.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they probably had security. I mean, yeah, the
Speaker 1: security can get people can get to drop on security too.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they have security, but people can
Speaker 1: get to drop on security for show. All right, So
Speaker 1: again our prayers to them. Now, Jeremiah has been hospitalized.
Speaker 1: He's an ICU and he has coronavirus. So according to
Speaker 1: now I've heard sources saying that he was on a ventilator,
Speaker 1: that things aren't going well. But fifty cent posted pray
Speaker 1: for my boy Jeremia. He's not doing good. This COVID
Speaker 1: is just real. He's an ICU in Chicago. I saw
Speaker 1: a hitmaker also asking for prayers and he said that
Speaker 1: Jeremiah's mother actually asked him to post that chance. The
Speaker 1: rapper said, please, if you can take a second to
Speaker 1: pray for my friend Jeremiah. He's like a brother to
Speaker 1: me and he's ill right now. I believe in the
Speaker 1: healing power of Jesus, So if you can for me,
Speaker 1: please please say a prayer over him. So prayers for
Speaker 1: Jeremiah as well, yes, absolute now. Gospel artist Fred Hammond
Speaker 1: has also shared that he tested positive for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: and he did share this update Monday, and I went
Speaker 1: went to go get tested and it was the same
Speaker 1: day test. I just wanted to come on and say
Speaker 1: that this is a day five of my quarantine because
Speaker 1: the test came back Monday positive. I think the rough
Speaker 1: weekend was last weekend. But my doctor's like, she doesn't
Speaker 1: know what side of it I'm on, so she's keeping
Speaker 1: keeping me very monitored. And have a doctor that's with
Speaker 1: me pretty much well uncor day and I have three
Speaker 1: doctor's own speed. He also posted a mask is not
Speaker 1: a political statement, blessings family. So hopefully he's going to
Speaker 1: be okay and pull through now. Larsa Pippin has also
Speaker 1: revealed that she tested positive for coronavirus and she said,
Speaker 1: I've never felt pain like this. She posted a picture
Speaker 1: that showed her legs. She said, I've been battling COVID
Speaker 1: for a week and she said, pray then let it go.
Speaker 1: Don't try and manipulate or force the outcome. Just trust
Speaker 1: God to open the right doors at the right time. Amen.
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. Right, it's like everybody, it's so scary
Speaker 1: because you don't know how it affects your body. You know,
Speaker 1: some people get it and there's no problem. They don't
Speaker 1: even know they have it. They keep him moving in
Speaker 1: and some people get it in. It's the worst. You
Speaker 1: just it's just scary because you don't know how it
Speaker 1: affects your body. You don't know how to run through
Speaker 1: your system. You know it has tested positive and the
Speaker 1: left nostril and not a negative in the right. Now,
Speaker 1: that didn't make no damn sense. I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: this one out, Like, how do you test positive in
Speaker 1: one nostril and negative and the other nostril. And if
Speaker 1: that happens, what do you do? Do you quarantine for
Speaker 1: seven days instead of fourteen? Shut up, man, shout out
Speaker 1: three feet away from people instead of sixth What do
Speaker 1: you do? Like what happens with his half and half? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a weird thing. I mean, I guess they're not
Speaker 1: one hundred percent effective, so I would assume you got
Speaker 1: to take it again. But that's weird. All right, Well
Speaker 1: that is your room report. Is there anything that happened
Speaker 1: good in the world this weekend? I mean, Jesus Christ
Speaker 1: making the Stallion, got an album coming out? Cahol, good news?
Speaker 1: Is there any you mean to tell me? Nothing good
Speaker 1: happen to somebody this weekend? Maybe the next room here'll
Speaker 1: be some good news. Yeah, Jesus Christ. Two shootings, three
Speaker 1: positive COVID tests, Oh my god. All right, Well we
Speaker 1: got rumors we got from Page News coming up. What
Speaker 1: we're talking about Front page News. Yes, Donald Trump, he
Speaker 1: did say that he lost the election, but he also
Speaker 1: said it was rigged, and he also said he's not conceding.
Speaker 1: So we'll tell you some more news about that. All right,
Speaker 1: we'll get into that next Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Good morning, So breakfast Club, your mornings will never be
Speaker 1: the same. What up y'allus? Dj Envy And if you're
Speaker 1: looking for older insurance customized just for you, you need
Speaker 1: the General Insurance. They have excellent customer service and they
Speaker 1: have been in business for over fifty five years. Called
Speaker 1: eight hundred General or visit the General dot com today.
Speaker 1: Some restrictions apply. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
Speaker 1: in some front page news. Now, let's start with some
Speaker 1: NFL football. The Browns beat the Texans ten seven. The
Speaker 1: Lines beat the Washington Football team, Packers beat the Jaguars.
Speaker 1: My Giants beat the Eagles. Buccaneers beat the Panthers, Raiders
Speaker 1: beat the Broncos, Dolphins beat the Charges, The Cardinals beat
Speaker 1: the Bills. The Rams beat the Seahawks New Orleans. They
Speaker 1: beat San Francisco forty nine is. The Steelers beat the Bengals,
Speaker 1: and the Patriots beat the Ravens. Now Monday night football,
Speaker 1: the Vikings take on the Chicago Bears. Now what else
Speaker 1: we got ye? All right, well, let's talk us some
Speaker 1: more about Obama's sixty minutes interview. Now he talks about
Speaker 1: how Michelle Obama was so supportive to him and how
Speaker 1: grateful he is. Listen to this. It's only after you
Speaker 1: emerge from an all consuming job that you realize that
Speaker 1: everything you hold dear is thanks to the one you love.
Speaker 1: I think I actually realized that even while I was
Speaker 1: in the job. The fact that she put up with
Speaker 1: it and forgave me was an act of grace that
Speaker 1: I am grateful for, and I'm not sure I deserved it. Man,
Speaker 1: driving to clubs with Barack Obama get you a black
Speaker 1: woomandemic change your whole life to the best foundation to
Speaker 1: stand on. His assistant. Now, his memoir, Promised Land, actually
Speaker 1: comes out tomorrow, So that's why he's been doing all
Speaker 1: these interviews and talking about his relationship and Michelle Obama
Speaker 1: being so supportive. And then he also in this interview
Speaker 1: talked about not attacking Trump. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I consistently tried to treat my political opposition in the
Speaker 1: ways I'd want to be treated. Every president brings a
Speaker 1: certain temperament to office. I think part of the reason
Speaker 1: I got elected was because I sent a message that
Speaker 1: fundamentally I believe the American people are good and decent
Speaker 1: and that politics doesn't have to be some cage match
Speaker 1: in which everybody is going at each other's throats, and
Speaker 1: that we can agree without being disagreeable. Yeah, I mean, listen.
Speaker 1: I didn't like that though, because the problem with Trump
Speaker 1: is they acted like what he was doing was so
Speaker 1: normal for four years. Therefore a lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: understand the severity of what he was doing in the
Speaker 1: White House. And if it wasn't for COVID, you know,
Speaker 1: treating him like he was just a normal president, it
Speaker 1: would have gotten him reelected. And it's not an attack
Speaker 1: if it's the truth, telling the truth about somebody is
Speaker 1: not attacking them. What a difference for who's our president
Speaker 1: right now? Donald Trump. They had the million megamarts over
Speaker 1: the weekend with these Trump supporters and there was a
Speaker 1: lot going down. In addition to that, Trump said we
Speaker 1: won't let a rigged election still our country, and he's
Speaker 1: been on social media talking about he still feels like
Speaker 1: he didn't lose. He said he only won in the
Speaker 1: eyes of the fake news media. I concede nothing. We
Speaker 1: have a long way to go. This was a rigged election.
Speaker 1: He won because the election was rigged. No vote watches
Speaker 1: or observers allowed, vote tabulated by a radical left, privately
Speaker 1: owned company Dominion with a bad reputation in bumm equipment
Speaker 1: that couldn't even qualify for Texas, which I won by
Speaker 1: a lot. The fake and silent media, and more so,
Speaker 1: he's still claiming without evidence that he won and even
Speaker 1: though these are all debunked theories and baseless conspiracy theories
Speaker 1: and false statements that he's putting out on social media.
Speaker 1: And Giuliani actually did an interview and said that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is not going to conceive as the president right
Speaker 1: now in this treet conceding this election. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: far from it. What he's saying is more I guess
Speaker 1: you'd call it sarcastic. Obviously he's contesting it vigorously in
Speaker 1: the court. Let's be honest. We don't want him to concede. Okay,
Speaker 1: we all know we want to see the military going
Speaker 1: then drag Trump out by his two pay kicking and screaming,
Speaker 1: a peaceful transition to power, to be normal. We don't
Speaker 1: want it to end normally. Come on, and we know
Speaker 1: it's not gonna end normal. It's Trump. We don't want
Speaker 1: him to concede. Come on, we want to action. Come on,
Speaker 1: be honest, guys, Now, we want them to concede. We
Speaker 1: want him to get the hell out. Don't you want
Speaker 1: this show? You want this show? No, you don't you
Speaker 1: want this show so you can have content for your
Speaker 1: rule reporting, front page news, for your headlines. We want
Speaker 1: the show stop, not throw him out on his ass.
Speaker 1: So if they threw him out on his ass, to
Speaker 1: be different. If we don't know how it's gonna happen,
Speaker 1: but I know it'll be entertaining. I know that much.
Speaker 1: All right, Well that is your front page news. All right,
Speaker 1: thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, Roll
Speaker 1: Kinna will be joining us roll kinda. He is in
Speaker 1: the US House of Representatives. They actually talk about him
Speaker 1: possibly replacing um Senator Harrison the Senate. But he's real
Speaker 1: big in the tech and he wants to get black
Speaker 1: people into the tech world. So we'll discuss with him,
Speaker 1: all right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lockets
Speaker 1: at Breakfast Club. Com Morning Morning. Everybody's DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Charlomagne the God. We all the Breakfast Club. We got
Speaker 1: a special guest on the line. Yes, indeed, Roekana, welcome,
Speaker 1: Thank you big fan of the show. Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Roe. You know I'm glad that you're here Man,
Speaker 1: because you know you've you've spoken to me about this
Speaker 1: proposal for wealth generation and tech jobs for young Black
Speaker 1: Americans and you sent it to I believe you sent it.
Speaker 1: The VP Biden and Kamala has been explained to people
Speaker 1: what that is, but very simple. Right now, the black
Speaker 1: community is being left out of the main wealth generation.
Speaker 1: I mean, I represent Silicon Mallley. Less than three percent
Speaker 1: of venture capital goes to black or Latino entrepreneurs. They're
Speaker 1: less than ten percent at Apple, Google, Facebook of the
Speaker 1: employees or executives. If you think about it, the black
Speaker 1: community was not fully part of the industrial revolution, and
Speaker 1: now you have a digital revolution where it's just driving
Speaker 1: most of the stock market, ninety percent of the games.
Speaker 1: And you don't see black folks getting the IPOs, you
Speaker 1: don't see them at the executive tables, you don't see
Speaker 1: them generating wealth. So my view is you want to
Speaker 1: deal with the racial wealthcap, We've got to have more
Speaker 1: funding for black entrepreneurs. We've got to actually create boot camps.
Speaker 1: We've actually got to get at least a million Black
Speaker 1: young men and women in the digital economy. How do
Speaker 1: we do that. Let's create actual boot camps at HBCUs
Speaker 1: in partnership with the private sector to get folks the
Speaker 1: skills and jobs. It's not enough for an Apple or
Speaker 1: Google or something to write a check to the United
Speaker 1: Negro Scholarship Fund and think their job is done. You
Speaker 1: know there are only a third of computer science graduates
Speaker 1: or people with skills are actually getting jobs. They have
Speaker 1: to actually commit to hiring these volks people, not just
Speaker 1: giving some skills. And what often happens is the HPCUS
Speaker 1: or other schools they don't have the access to get interviews,
Speaker 1: so they may be doing computer science stuff, but then
Speaker 1: they're not doing the whiteboard interviews and they're getting blocked out.
Speaker 1: So we had a partnership at Claflind with Zoom where
Speaker 1: Zoom committed to not just funding the training practical skills,
Speaker 1: but actually hiring folks afterwards. And I think we have
Speaker 1: to create these kind of boot camps that Opportunity Hub
Speaker 1: and others doing across across the country. Of changing the curriculum,
Speaker 1: changing the curriculum, you have to change the curriculum Claflind
Speaker 1: in South Carolina. Claflind, South Carolina. Yeah, you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: now Clafland and Zoom. So you know what was happening
Speaker 1: is these hpcus they give all the academic stuff and
Speaker 1: then people would go to interview and they're all these
Speaker 1: whiteboard interviews and all these things and they've never been
Speaker 1: exposed to it, so they wouldn't get the job. Well,
Speaker 1: and that's you know that that's not going to create
Speaker 1: actual opportunities. So first, get people the actual practical skills
Speaker 1: and certification that's going to lead to a job. So
Speaker 1: the HBC, you should partner with the private institutions, and
Speaker 1: these private companies have to commit to hiring. Second, I
Speaker 1: would say, at least any any big company that wants
Speaker 1: to have a big federal contract, Amazon others, have them
Speaker 1: have a ten percent Black and Latino workforce. That's right,
Speaker 1: you know, you see that happen. Look at how quickly
Speaker 1: they'll actually hi hi hire people right now. They're not.
Speaker 1: You know, there's no incentive for them to do it.
Speaker 1: It's just lip service. It should be it should reflect
Speaker 1: the population of black people in this country. So thirteen
Speaker 1: to fourteen percent of what I say, great, Yeah, let's
Speaker 1: do something at thirteen fourteen percent makes makes a lot
Speaker 1: of sense. And you know Jesse Jackson, who I admired,
Speaker 1: but he's been going to Silicon Valleys for the past
Speaker 1: fifteen years and they give us the same speech about
Speaker 1: diversity and they put out some statistics, but it's not improving.
Speaker 1: I mean that we've got to have some real policy
Speaker 1: and it can't just be left to the the the
Speaker 1: intentions of of people in the valley. And what about
Speaker 1: raising funds, because you did talk about that to capitalists
Speaker 1: and how black people are getting left out when it
Speaker 1: comes to that, So what can be done about that?
Speaker 1: I think two things. First, let's look at the statistics.
Speaker 1: Less than three percent one hundred and thirty billion dollars
Speaker 1: venture capital industry, less than three percent is going to
Speaker 1: black or Latino entrepreneurs, probably less than one percent to
Speaker 1: black entrepreneurs. And when it comes to women, it's you know,
Speaker 1: it's less than point three percent. I think we need
Speaker 1: to do two things. When we need actual targeted federal
Speaker 1: government matching funds where we're putting funds into black owned vcs,
Speaker 1: they're about twenty prominent black owned vcs. You know, if
Speaker 1: you give money to people with black owned funds. They're
Speaker 1: more likely to fund black entrepreneurs. That's just the reality
Speaker 1: of it. But the black funds VC funds are you know,
Speaker 1: a very small fraction of one hundred thirty billions. I
Speaker 1: have federal funds to match that and secondly, incentivize the
Speaker 1: Harvards the public pension funds to say, look, you get
Speaker 1: a different capital gains tax rate if you're going to
Speaker 1: invest that money with black own fund so that you're
Speaker 1: incentivizing these huge people who control a lot of the
Speaker 1: capital to put the money in black funds. I fundamentally
Speaker 1: believe if you give money to black run funds, you're
Speaker 1: going to get more black entrepreneurs funded. I don't think
Speaker 1: you can rely on non you know, other funds finding
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurs or opportunities. Yeah, you got to be intentional
Speaker 1: about it, you know. I mean, so you got to
Speaker 1: give the money to people who are going to be
Speaker 1: intentional about empowering other black people. But I got a question, role,
Speaker 1: what's what's keeping black people out of the digital revolution.
Speaker 1: We're the consumers of all this tech, all these social
Speaker 1: media apps, but not the creators. Why that's brilliantly put.
Speaker 1: I mean simply look, you know black Twitter. I mean,
Speaker 1: the black people get a lot of the cultural stuff
Speaker 1: started on these tech companies. They wouldn't have grown. Twitter
Speaker 1: wouldn't have grown if it wasn't right and right now Clubhouse,
Speaker 1: Clubhouse and on Amazon, obviously huge purchases on Facebook, and
Speaker 1: so the black community is exactly you put it through
Speaker 1: the consumers, but more than the consumers, they're the cultural movers.
Speaker 1: They're getting this stuff popular. I mean, you look at
Speaker 1: the videos on entertainment and things on Instagram or TikTok.
Speaker 1: It's often black entertainers, black influencers, and yet they're not
Speaker 1: getting the wealth that the actual wealth creation, and they're
Speaker 1: not being able to shape these platforms. People keep talking
Speaker 1: about the racial wealth gap ten to one. It has
Speaker 1: increased in the last twenty years, not decreased, increase And
Speaker 1: one of the big parts of the reasons for that,
Speaker 1: in my view, is that all the wealth creation is
Speaker 1: largely being driven in the digital economy. So why are
Speaker 1: they excluded? Have they been excluded? I think partly it's
Speaker 1: that there's network effects, you know, if you're it's not
Speaker 1: that they don't they don't want to go into computer science. Actually,
Speaker 1: young black kids have a greater desire. There's a study
Speaker 1: showing them a greater desire to study computer science than
Speaker 1: white kids. Actual they they're more interested in it. So
Speaker 1: and a third of black graduates in computer science aren't
Speaker 1: getting jobs in tech, even though there's seven hundred thousand
Speaker 1: open tech jobs. So part of it is the network effect.
Speaker 1: I mean, how many of these tech companies are actually
Speaker 1: recruiting where the talent is. Partly is that they're not
Speaker 1: getting the skilled boot camp training, which treaches folks not
Speaker 1: just about the algorithms and out of code, but actually
Speaker 1: the way that interviews are conducted to get jobs. And
Speaker 1: then partly is the exclusion of capital. But if this continues,
Speaker 1: the racial wealth kept twenty years from now, it will
Speaker 1: be worse. And what I say is, look, the biggest
Speaker 1: issue obviously, and you know, I know, Charlie, you've been
Speaker 1: very eloquent on it, is with criminal justice farm at
Speaker 1: police violence. And that's obviously people can't be getting shot.
Speaker 1: But in Silicon Valley it's easy to sit there and say,
Speaker 1: you know, the problem is the cop in Minnesota or
Speaker 1: the cop in Wisconsin, and and support Black Lives Matter
Speaker 1: sort of theoretically and say Okay, we're going to go
Speaker 1: out and march for r racial justice against police violence.
Speaker 1: But what are you doing? But Black Lives Matter is
Speaker 1: not just about making sure black kids don't get shot
Speaker 1: in the streets. It's about making sure they have a
Speaker 1: shot at the American dream, at wealth creation. That's a
Speaker 1: far harder structural reform. And I think that we can't
Speaker 1: let off companies and area I represent saying okay, support
Speaker 1: Black lives marches without telling about equity and wealth generation.
Speaker 1: All right, we got more with Rocanna. When we come
Speaker 1: back the morning, everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee. Charlomagne,
Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking
Speaker 1: it with Kana. He's the member of the US House
Speaker 1: Representatives from California seventeenth district. It always seems crazy when
Speaker 1: we talk about minorities and generational wealth and then you
Speaker 1: look at big companies and all the breaks that they get,
Speaker 1: whether it's the Amazons or the Netflix or you know,
Speaker 1: all these other companies, and it just seems weird to
Speaker 1: me that you give all these companies huge breaks, and
Speaker 1: then when you talk about generational wealth, you don't allow
Speaker 1: minorities chance to catch up. I'd say right. I think
Speaker 1: one of the other reforms tribute that there should be
Speaker 1: people on the boards of these companies, there should have
Speaker 1: some sense of diversity requirements for the boards and in
Speaker 1: these companies. And people say, well, why, how does that
Speaker 1: help someone who's middle class or working class to get
Speaker 1: representation on the boards. I think that's a very privileged perspective.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not just that black people should be
Speaker 1: having working class jobs and focused on the minimum wage.
Speaker 1: They're important. We've got to give them access to the
Speaker 1: wealth generation and they're going to reinvest that in their
Speaker 1: own community. So partly it's diversifying the boards, it's having incentives.
Speaker 1: As you point out, these companies are getting a lot
Speaker 1: of breaks from the government. They have an obligation to
Speaker 1: be part of the solution in dealing with the racial
Speaker 1: wealth gap and the exclusion of black talent. You know,
Speaker 1: why do you think there's never been an attempt role
Speaker 1: to address the racial wealth gap in America in a
Speaker 1: meaningful way? I should I say, fixth the racial wealth
Speaker 1: gap in American a meaningful with I think that we're
Speaker 1: not focused enough of the on the ambitions of young
Speaker 1: African Americans. Af Amrian families. I think we're so focused
Speaker 1: on their the immediate social problems, which are acute. Let's
Speaker 1: make sure everyone gets healthcare, Let's make sure everyone you
Speaker 1: know doesn't get shot in the streets. Let's make sure
Speaker 1: that people at minimum wage. But that's not America, that's
Speaker 1: not a buff When I go to Claffland, when I
Speaker 1: talk to these young folks, they have the same dreams
Speaker 1: as kids in my district. They want to be entrepreneurs,
Speaker 1: they want to be business leaders, they want to create
Speaker 1: wealth they have and when do we have when do
Speaker 1: we speak to that to that aspiration. You're not going
Speaker 1: to solve the racial wealth gap by just giving everyone
Speaker 1: healthcare and minimum wage and social securiture, as important as
Speaker 1: that is. You've got to give people access to wealth generation.
Speaker 1: And I just don't think we've been asking that question properly.
Speaker 1: Is where is the wealth being generated? And how are
Speaker 1: we going to give it entire community access? You know,
Speaker 1: John lewis one of the honors I had to serving
Speaker 1: with him, and he used to say to me, rug
Speaker 1: technology rights and the new civil rights, make sure you
Speaker 1: get talk about people having access to technology talk. You
Speaker 1: got to talk me about this Clafland connection. Because I'm
Speaker 1: from South Carolina. My father in law is a Claffland alumni, Like, well,
Speaker 1: why why Claughlin so sob Jim Cleblin represents that area.
Speaker 1: I had gone down to Claughlin and we met with
Speaker 1: some of the students. He had said, look where I'll come.
Speaker 1: You knew I was keen on getting technology companies to expand,
Speaker 1: and so he said, come down. We went down to
Speaker 1: Claflind and these entrepreneurs, these twenty twenty two year old kids,
Speaker 1: I mean, unbelievable hunger, ambition, vision, but they didn't have
Speaker 1: access to the networks. They don't have access to the
Speaker 1: venture capital, they don't have access to people taking a
Speaker 1: shot on them. And I was so impressed with Cloughlin.
Speaker 1: So I went back and I talked to Zoom and
Speaker 1: they were looking to do something, and I said, why
Speaker 1: don't you partner with Claughlin. Now it's a start. I
Speaker 1: mean they're they're putting a couple million bucks, they're actually
Speaker 1: creating the training programs, they're hiring folks. But what we
Speaker 1: have to do is ask that off all of the companies,
Speaker 1: and to do it broadly with the HBCUs and don't
Speaker 1: let them get off just writing a check. I mean
Speaker 1: that's the you know, what happens is these companies will say, okay,
Speaker 1: we'll write a check to the United Negro Scholar Fund.
Speaker 1: And what happens with the money. Maybe some kids get
Speaker 1: a scholarship. That's great, but they're not getting hired back
Speaker 1: into tech. They're not becoming entrepreneurs, they're not becoming vcs,
Speaker 1: they're not getting funded. And you know, I know it's
Speaker 1: initially I thought, okay, maybe this is just my perspective
Speaker 1: from Silicon valuement. When I go and talk to young kids,
Speaker 1: this a lot of this is what they want. They
Speaker 1: want to make well, they want to get successful, they
Speaker 1: want to they have pride, They they have as big
Speaker 1: dreams as anyone. And I think we sell the dream
Speaker 1: short where we just talk about the problems that we're
Speaker 1: not talking about how we're going to give them access
Speaker 1: to opportunity. Now, Donald Trump, I think came up with
Speaker 1: a total you know, sham in my view was superficial thing,
Speaker 1: Platinum plan and you know, the five hundred billion. He
Speaker 1: wasn't even to fund it, it it was it was claiming
Speaker 1: it was going to come from We're going to circulate. Yeah,
Speaker 1: somehow people were gonna make money. But it was strictly
Speaker 1: appealing because he was talking about people get making money
Speaker 1: and people having access to it. Now, what we've got
Speaker 1: to do is say, Okay, we're actually going to have
Speaker 1: the real solutions to how that's going to work. But
Speaker 1: I think we've got to acknowledge that we've got a
Speaker 1: real problem in this country. And you know, look, I'm
Speaker 1: on the reparations bill, and I'm for understanding the historical injustices.
Speaker 1: But unless we solve the access to future wealth generation,
Speaker 1: nothing government can do is going to reduce the racial
Speaker 1: wealth gap. If we can't give people the opportunity to
Speaker 1: create wealth, by the way, they can figure it out.
Speaker 1: The same way they figured out how to systemically keep
Speaker 1: us from getting wealth, they can figure out how to
Speaker 1: get systemically create avenues for us to make wealth. You
Speaker 1: got the marijuana industry, industry, We've got so much. It's
Speaker 1: not like the talent is extraordinary. And how do we
Speaker 1: know this? Because any cultural trend in this country, a
Speaker 1: lot of it that takes off as partly starts with
Speaker 1: the Black community. That the creativity is extraordinary, the ambition
Speaker 1: is extraordinary, the desire is there more Black kids want
Speaker 1: to go into tech than the white kids, according to
Speaker 1: some of the studies. So it's in the interest of
Speaker 1: these companies to do it. This report show more diverse
Speaker 1: companies are more profitable there, they better understand consumer needs.
Speaker 1: So what is stopping it? It is ums. It may
Speaker 1: not be blatant bigotry, but it's the soft bigotry. If
Speaker 1: your own networks people don't you know, they don't know
Speaker 1: where all the talent is. They don't they don't want
Speaker 1: to go beyond the people they met at school. They're
Speaker 1: not willing to make that intentional effort to be inclusive.
Speaker 1: And I think that that's that's really the problem. It's
Speaker 1: going to kill us. With China, They've got a billion people.
Speaker 1: I mean, how are we going to compete if we're
Speaker 1: writing off whole parts of her population from AI, from
Speaker 1: quantum computing, from all of the new new fields. And then,
Speaker 1: you know, think about if all the digital platforms are
Speaker 1: being created by some people in the black community is
Speaker 1: not part of that, how are they going to make
Speaker 1: sure that their voices are heard and in the design
Speaker 1: of these platforms. All Right, we got more with Rocanna.
Speaker 1: When we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club.
Speaker 1: Good morning. I thing everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee,
Speaker 1: Chalomie the guy we are the breakfast club was still
Speaker 1: kicking him with rocana. Chalomi. Now you know, I saw
Speaker 1: what you said. One hundred and thirty one billion dollars
Speaker 1: in annual venture capital UM, I guess comes into tech
Speaker 1: the tech world, but less than one percent goes to
Speaker 1: black firms. Yeah, less than one percent goes to black
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs and even less to black firms. I mean the
Speaker 1: so the it's a small I mean, it should be
Speaker 1: a national scandal that the exclusion of that. Think I mean,
Speaker 1: think about where all the money is being made. And
Speaker 1: you know in the SNP five hundred ninety percent of
Speaker 1: the game has been the tech over the last five years.
Speaker 1: Where are the billionaires millionaires coming from? Most of them
Speaker 1: a lot of them Dropbox, Airbnb, Facebook, Google, Apple. How
Speaker 1: many folks do you know who are black? Who said okay,
Speaker 1: I had stock options or my company was funded in weipo.
Speaker 1: How need you know who were acquired? It is? It
Speaker 1: is a appalling the level of funding and the talent
Speaker 1: is there, There's just no intentionality. Has anyone been able
Speaker 1: to raise the kind of money Rodney Sampson raised in
Speaker 1: two thousands for their black tech company. I was he
Speaker 1: the last one. He's one of twenty. I think black.
Speaker 1: I think Rodney's for Ronney is great. I mean there
Speaker 1: was an opportunity, but I think his fund right now
Speaker 1: is about five to ten million. I mean, there need
Speaker 1: to be a couple more zeros at the end end
Speaker 1: of that. And you know what Rodney is doing with
Speaker 1: Opportunity Hub is amazing work and Morehouse College. He's set
Speaker 1: up a boot camp basically where you will get the
Speaker 1: credentials to have a tech job afterwards. But we've got
Speaker 1: to give him the money to scale it. I mean,
Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars properly spent scaled with boot camps and
Speaker 1: at HBCUs could get a million young Black men and
Speaker 1: women into these digital opportunities. And then we've got to
Speaker 1: give them the funding to go out and build build. Well.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a great initiative that Tyrants is doing
Speaker 1: in uh In in uh Oklahoma. Of course, people know
Speaker 1: about the Tulsa and the the well Walled Street effort
Speaker 1: and how that was destroyed by white people who were
Speaker 1: jealous of basically black success. They destroyed it twice. I mean,
Speaker 1: they first had the riots and then they built the
Speaker 1: highway through uh Tulsa to destroy it the second time,
Speaker 1: and so they're trying to build a tech presence UH
Speaker 1: there to try to replicate replicate that. But these kind
Speaker 1: of efforts are going on all over the country. The
Speaker 1: problem is that there's no funding, there's there's no effort
Speaker 1: and people. You have such a big platform obviously in
Speaker 1: the Breakfast club, but I just think saying that this
Speaker 1: has to be as much of a priority as the
Speaker 1: other issues facing the community long term, because otherwise they'll
Speaker 1: never be. I don't think you can have equality without
Speaker 1: equality of wealth generation. I don't think you can have quality. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the civil no disrespect, but civil rights no that that
Speaker 1: that's not that's that's not going to get us where
Speaker 1: we need to be. And I think that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's when Martin Luiver King Jr. Was pivoting to like
Speaker 1: economic empowerment, you know what I mean, us being financially
Speaker 1: financially stable. The civil rights part, they can they can
Speaker 1: colde racism and hide racism and all types of things.
Speaker 1: But as long as we got that that economic part downpack,
Speaker 1: I think will be I and the economic guess like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I agree. I mean, obviously you know this better.
Speaker 1: But I think the economic empowerment, it can't just be okay,
Speaker 1: healthcare in a fifteen buck minimum wage and in a
Speaker 1: good union job. Yes, all of those are important, but
Speaker 1: is that the country want to live in that silicon
Speaker 1: valley gets all the millionaires and billionaires and black folks
Speaker 1: are on working class and middle class jobs and no
Speaker 1: wealth creation like that? That is not a true equality,
Speaker 1: especially with the talent, and a lot of the consumerism
Speaker 1: is being driven by the bid community. Their money is
Speaker 1: going to these companies, their money, their talent is driving
Speaker 1: these companies success. Uh. And so I and I think
Speaker 1: that the fixes are easy. I mean, I'm hopeful by
Speaker 1: s Preasi, Biden and Kamierson if they're serious about a
Speaker 1: Divine nine endorse the approach. So you've got a lot
Speaker 1: of the fraternity's historical frattorneys and sororities behind it. And
Speaker 1: if you get someone like Rodney, who's really spent a
Speaker 1: lot of time in this and a few others to spearhead,
Speaker 1: and you give him the resources and you can be
Speaker 1: in the HBCU presidents and you look beyond that, I
Speaker 1: think you could fix this issue. I mean, and we
Speaker 1: need to fix it. Why are you so passionate about it?
Speaker 1: Row Like, why are you so passionate about black people
Speaker 1: acquiring wealth? To take two reasons. One my own story.
Speaker 1: So you know, my grandfather has spent four years in
Speaker 1: jail with Gandhi in the nineteen forties. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if you know James Lawson, but he's a he's
Speaker 1: a great leader. He's actually in la Lawson actually had
Speaker 1: gone to India and uh went was influenced by H.
Speaker 1: Gandhi's movement, and he went and influenced doctor King and
Speaker 1: John Lewis on some of the non violence struggles. And
Speaker 1: if it weren't for the Black Civil rights movement, my
Speaker 1: parents wouldn't have been allowed in this country in nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty five immigration reformat. Before that, you didn't have Indians
Speaker 1: or Chinese basically allowed to come to America. And we
Speaker 1: forget this, and now you got a lot of Indian
Speaker 1: Americans who have succeeded in technology they wouldn't have had
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have been allowed in America, let alone had
Speaker 1: those chances. Look at why there's so many Indians at
Speaker 1: HBCUs because the other universities didn't hire them, so not
Speaker 1: only they come in. So I just think I have
Speaker 1: an obligation or some response ability given this historical circle
Speaker 1: to to do something to make greater access to well generation.
Speaker 1: It's it's what I know, it's where I represent. So

Speaker 1: thank you. She's filling the team. This is the Ruble
Speaker 1: Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All Right,
Speaker 1: so heap Maker was on Drink Champs and he was
Speaker 1: very chatty. Some things he said I thought was kind
Speaker 1: of wacked to do. But other things he talked about
Speaker 1: was he feels like the same people that set up
Speaker 1: Pop Smoked, the same woman for that home invasion as
Speaker 1: the same people that set him up. If you remember
Speaker 1: his house got broken into. Here's what he said. She
Speaker 1: was sharing. Okay, it was three guys with guns and
Speaker 1: ain't that trying to come and kick in my crib?
Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is like when it was happening,
Speaker 1: instead of her being like a girl in the midst
Speaker 1: of a home invasion, like I was like, she was
Speaker 1: fighting me. Yeah, bro, it was a bro. I'm still like,
Speaker 1: I'm still dealing with PTSD from Higgo Higgo the craziest
Speaker 1: casually like I'm cool with Pop Smoke girlfriend or whatever.
Speaker 1: She had hit me like yeo, like the same dude
Speaker 1: dog Yeah, bro, that's crazy. Yeah. Another reason to settle
Speaker 1: down with one woman in mind your damn business out
Speaker 1: here with all these randoms that you don't speak to
Speaker 1: the screen. Just don't sleep with him either, all right.
Speaker 1: Another thing that he talked about was Shaquille O'Neill building
Speaker 1: him out of jail. At the video and we're shooting
Speaker 1: the first shot of the day, me and ray J
Speaker 1: and a Lamborghini. We're smoking a blunt. I threw the
Speaker 1: broach out the car. The police that were keeping us
Speaker 1: Sabe picked up the roach out the Lamborghini locked my
Speaker 1: ass up immediately before the first shot of the day.
Speaker 1: I'm young bird, so now just want me to rap
Speaker 1: from him? That next thing I thought, Shaquille O'Neill bailed
Speaker 1: me out of prison. I gotta list of that four
Speaker 1: Drink Champs episode. Why did Shaq bail him out? What's
Speaker 1: the relationship between Shock and um bird hit maker? He's
Speaker 1: a sheriff in LA he said, or something like that.
Speaker 1: So did they just get the call they call Shock?
Speaker 1: How like? How did Shock even know? I gotta listen
Speaker 1: to the whole Drink Champs episode. I haven't listened that
Speaker 1: one yet, all right now, M yeah, So, I mean
Speaker 1: some of those things he said. I was like, he's
Speaker 1: talking about a bunch of different women. I thought it
Speaker 1: wasn't cool to do that. When you can go check
Speaker 1: out Drink Champs on you can go check out Drink
Speaker 1: Champs on the Black Effect. iHeartRadio app right now and
Speaker 1: available everywhere you buy a podcast Shout the North. Listen
Speaker 1: to podcast all right now. When Jeez was on the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, he was talking about this versus battle that
Speaker 1: he was supposed to do against TI and things have
Speaker 1: such changed. Let me give you guys a refresher. Well.
Speaker 1: I even got the call about verse. I got a
Speaker 1: call from from Swiss. I let yo, Swiss, I really
Speaker 1: you know, if I do it, there's only one person
Speaker 1: I do it with. And he was like who. I
Speaker 1: was like, Guchi, reach out to him, let me know
Speaker 1: what's up. Swiss hit back, see he respectfully to climb
Speaker 1: cool done that would have broke the goddamn in And
Speaker 1: then j this, Yeah, I mean we could have done
Speaker 1: it for the coaching all right, what looks like that
Speaker 1: is happening now, So that's going to be happening on
Speaker 1: Thursday that say, can they be in the same moment
Speaker 1: everything be I I mean, clearly they've had some type
Speaker 1: of communication, right, clearly they've had some kind of communication before.
Speaker 1: And if you read Gucci Man's book, it's not the
Speaker 1: first time that you know him and geezf chopped it up.
Speaker 1: You know, soa but I don't know, I don't know,
Speaker 1: but you know I've seen Gucci's post. He said, uh,
Speaker 1: what do he says, uhtree Man versus snow Cone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but Geez actually called Gucci a snow cone first. If
Speaker 1: you know your Gucci Geezy beef history on stay scrapped
Speaker 1: up and then said he calls him a little gout
Speaker 1: wap and call and said, don't send your clone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so can we get I know who you got? You?
Speaker 1: Who you got? Charlomanne Um, I got Geez. But it's
Speaker 1: a sneaky matchup because he the difference between Geez and Gucci.
Speaker 1: GEEZI has complete albums, bodies of work that are better
Speaker 1: than Gucci's. Jeez has two classics, TM one on one
Speaker 1: and The Recession, two really great albums, the inspiration in
Speaker 1: TIM one on three. But Gucci collectively has dropped one
Speaker 1: hundred and eight mixtapes and albums combine, so he's got twenty.
Speaker 1: He's got twenty. Of course, they both got twenty. Who
Speaker 1: wins in that battle? I think Geez, I think Jeez wins.
Speaker 1: But I mean, listen, you got a hell of a
Speaker 1: fan base, bro, a hell of a fan base and giggles, Yeah,
Speaker 1: who you got? Geez? Okay for sure? All right? And
Speaker 1: Whack one hundred is plotting for a fifty cent in
Speaker 1: the game versus battle, So we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1: You know, they did shake hands and they were in
Speaker 1: the same club together a couple of times, so maybe
Speaker 1: that could happen. And we're playing a classic Gucci instrumental
Speaker 1: in the background right now. This this is this freaky girl,
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Gucci's not it's it's it'll be
Speaker 1: a very competitive versus. It could be Mulatto's record too.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I've forgotten Alotto's records sampled it. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: big a lot of Can we get Gucci and Jeezy
Speaker 1: to sit down on the Recessions podcast hosted by Gez
Speaker 1: on the Black Effect Podcast Network though, that's when inquiring
Speaker 1: minds wanted to know, and that happened, all right, t
Speaker 1: I already put his bid in for that podcast. Why
Speaker 1: would Why would you do that? Why would why would
Speaker 1: jes do that on t podcast when he has his
Speaker 1: own Because I guess t I was nice enough to
Speaker 1: step to the tide and let him do the battle
Speaker 1: even though he was supposed to be doing it the
Speaker 1: coach and made him step to the side. They were
Speaker 1: gonna push it to the side for this one. Actually
Speaker 1: I heard Pete. I heard Pete from QC negotiated that.
Speaker 1: But no, yeah, you're right through the coach it too,
Speaker 1: because GZ was on Breakfast Club last week and Gez
Speaker 1: put it out there like at that for from the
Speaker 1: clip that we just played. So I'm sure that that
Speaker 1: changed the tide a little bit, absolutely all right, And
Speaker 1: that is your room of report. I can't wait to
Speaker 1: see it all right now, who you're giving that, don't
Speaker 1: keep too Charlemagne. You know, we need a little pump
Speaker 1: to come to the front of the congregation. We'd like
Speaker 1: to have a world with him, but it's more of
Speaker 1: a teachable moment for everybody when it comes to uh,
Speaker 1: your your your words. That little pump, a little pip,
Speaker 1: which one one of them? All right, we'll get into
Speaker 1: that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same. The Freshest Family

Speaker 1: craziest people in America come from the Bronx in all
Speaker 1: of Florida. Yes, you are a donkey. The Florida man
Speaker 1: at tapped and atm for a very strange reason. It
Speaker 1: gave him too much money. Florida man is arrested after
Speaker 1: definitely staved. He rigged the door to his home and
Speaker 1: an attempt to electric kate his party at White Police
Speaker 1: arrested in Orlando man for talking a Fomana the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club Bitchy Donkey other day with Charlom Haine, a guy.
Speaker 1: I don't know why y'all keep letting him get y'all. Yes,
Speaker 1: it's donkey today for Monday, November sixteenth, goes to a
Speaker 1: name Little Pump or as the current lame Duck, Celebrity
Speaker 1: in chief calls him a little pimp. Now, little pump
Speaker 1: is from Florida. I didn't even know you from Florida.
Speaker 1: But what did your uncle Shaula always say about Florida?
Speaker 1: Come on, say it with me. The craziest people in
Speaker 1: America come from the Bronx and all of Florida. Now,
Speaker 1: folks are a little pimp out there campaigning for the
Speaker 1: guy who lost the election, Donald J. Trump. Can we
Speaker 1: hear from that Ratley? We hear that clip? One of
Speaker 1: the big superstars of the world, Little pimp? How's it? God?
Speaker 1: Do you want to come up and say something? Come on,
Speaker 1: little pomp. Does everyone know who he is? Do you
Speaker 1: know how big he is? Come on up here. I'll
Speaker 1: come here to say, mister President, I appreciate anything done
Speaker 1: for our country. You brought the troops home, and you're
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. MAGA twenty twenty twenty, don't forget that.
Speaker 1: Don't forget that, and do not vote for sleepy Joe
Speaker 1: at all. Twenty sounds like too long of a year. Personally,
Speaker 1: I didn't care that he did that. You know the
Speaker 1: reason I didn't care because I have no problem with
Speaker 1: people thinking freely about their politics, even if I don't
Speaker 1: agree with their politics. The guy wanted to vote for Trump,
Speaker 1: who cares. Maybe the red Maga hat matches his car.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he has a bright red pair sneakers that
Speaker 1: matches that had Hey, maybe he's blood in the red
Speaker 1: Maga hat with the redder the Republicans makes him feel
Speaker 1: comfortable enough to bang that set. I don't know. I
Speaker 1: didn't care, but what I do acknowledge his cap. And
Speaker 1: that's what happens a lot on social media. Just cap
Speaker 1: so much cap on the app, and it's people who
Speaker 1: literally get on there with the sole intention of making
Speaker 1: you care about something that you should not be caring about.
Speaker 1: But the only reason you would care is it's impossible
Speaker 1: to not get swept away by the tide of group think.
Speaker 1: So it can be a person that you have never
Speaker 1: thought of in your life, like a little pimple. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't name a song, don't know anything about him.
Speaker 1: You probably never even heard of him until you saw
Speaker 1: a bunch of people angry at him on social media
Speaker 1: for support Trump and then clowning him because Trump didn't
Speaker 1: even know his name when he introduced him at the
Speaker 1: rally during the campaign. But since you saw everybody else
Speaker 1: attacking him, you wasted time and energy attacking him too.
Speaker 1: Do you even care today that he supported Trump? Of
Speaker 1: course you don't. Why would you? Okay, Trump a loss,
Speaker 1: therefore Pump's endorsement didn't matter. And you know why Pump's
Speaker 1: endorsement didn't matter even more, because none of this matters
Speaker 1: if you don't vote. And ladies and gettlemen, Little Pump
Speaker 1: did not vote. Oh I loved reading this article on
Speaker 1: Complex over the weekend. Let me read a little bit
Speaker 1: of it. Despite going all in on his support for
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, SoundCloud rapper A Little Pump didn't bother to
Speaker 1: vote in the twenty twenty presidential election. In fact, according
Speaker 1: to the Smoking Gun, Pump didn't even register the vote
Speaker 1: end quote. Little Pump's real name is Gazy Garcia, he's
Speaker 1: twenty years old, and he doesn't show up as a
Speaker 1: registered voter on Florida state voter rolls. Okay. These findings
Speaker 1: were also confirmed by a supervisor for the Miami Dade
Speaker 1: County Elections Department. Let me explain something to y'all, because
Speaker 1: this is bigger than Pump voting for Trump. Okay, It's
Speaker 1: about Pump not practicing what he's preaching. See, I can't
Speaker 1: even call Pump a Trump supporter because you are what
Speaker 1: you do, not what you'll say you will do. And this,
Speaker 1: my friends, is words are getting cheaper and cheaper. This
Speaker 1: is exactly why words are getting cheaper and cheaper. Okay,
Speaker 1: we live in a word economy. All we do is
Speaker 1: to see words all day, non stop, all right, NonStop
Speaker 1: commentary on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, NonStop commentary on podcast, NonStop
Speaker 1: commentary on radio, NonStop commentary on TV. We put so
Speaker 1: much value into the words of people, and never in
Speaker 1: the history of life has talk been cheaper. I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: every single solitary saying you ever heard about words being meaningless?
Speaker 1: This is why. Okay, words are nothing, actions of everything.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me, show me, and I don't want to
Speaker 1: hear it. All right, doesn't matter if little Pump didn't
Speaker 1: vote for Trump. He told people he was voting for him,
Speaker 1: so he may have been plumed people to vote for him.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Okay, so it's just as dangerous.
Speaker 1: I hear what y'all saying. But if every vote counts
Speaker 1: and he didn't vote, and he's part of the problem,
Speaker 1: all right, Trump lost because he didn't get enough votes,
Speaker 1: even though he had the second biggest vote to turnout
Speaker 1: in election history. His opponent, Senator Kamala Harris and Joe
Speaker 1: Biden had the biggest turnout in election history. But tomorrow
Speaker 1: of the story is why do we as people continue
Speaker 1: to put so much stock in what people say they
Speaker 1: are going to do when the reality is they aren't
Speaker 1: really doing a damn thing. Okay, your words mean nothing
Speaker 1: when your actions are a complete opposite. This is just
Speaker 1: a teachable moment for all of us. See, I'm the
Speaker 1: type of person I can't say what I'm going to
Speaker 1: do and not do it. I can't tell you what
Speaker 1: I've done if I've never did it. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to tell you to do it if I never did it,
Speaker 1: only because to me, words matter because I'm expecting me
Speaker 1: from other people, and my therapist keeps telling me to
Speaker 1: stop doing that. Okay, look, I get it. When I
Speaker 1: was Pump's age, I was doing a lot of performing too.
Speaker 1: I was saying and doing a lot of things that
Speaker 1: didn't and I didn't really mean it. I just wanted
Speaker 1: to get a reaction out of people, and nat ladies
Speaker 1: and gentlemen. Was when I was at my facus. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can't claim to be real when the words that
Speaker 1: are coming out of your mouth don't match your actions.
Speaker 1: Little pump did all of this for absolutely nothing, going
Speaker 1: hard in the paint and don't even have a real
Speaker 1: dog in the fight. What is the point? Okay? What
Speaker 1: was it for? For clicks, for likes, for retweets. Now,
Speaker 1: why should we believe anything that comes out of his mouth? Ever? Again?
Speaker 1: When your words don't line up with your actions, people
Speaker 1: lose trust in you and everything that you stand for.
Speaker 1: So please, kids, listen to your uncle Charlot when I
Speaker 1: tell you, make sure, make sure, without a shadow of
Speaker 1: a doubt, that your actions and behaviors live up to
Speaker 1: and reflect the words ideas, promises, and commitments that come
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. Please give a little pump to
Speaker 1: sweet shots of the Hamiltones. You are the doggy the day,
Speaker 1: you the donkey, the he that's a nice teacher one moment,
Speaker 1: make sure that your actions and behaviors live up to
Speaker 1: and reflect the words ideas, promises, and commitments that come
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. All right, well, thank you for
Speaker 1: that donkey today. Now when we come back. Isaac Hayes,
Speaker 1: the third will be joining us. You're looking to invest
Speaker 1: in something, keep a lock. This might be something that
Speaker 1: you want to invest in, and it's going to cost
Speaker 1: your almond leg all right, you haven't thought about getting
Speaker 1: into the tech world. Pay attention, all right, it's the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club
Speaker 1: is back where I want to be morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got a special guest in the building,
Speaker 1: I should say on the line right now, Isaac Hayes.
Speaker 1: Isaac is an unofficial elected official in Atlanta, Georgia. I
Speaker 1: don't know. He does a little bit of everything, but
Speaker 1: he's here this morning to talk about what's on his shirt. Man.
Speaker 1: Fan Base's fan base. Well, first of all, I made
Speaker 1: it to the Breakfast Club. This is an honor, Like,
Speaker 1: I'm really excited to be here. You guys are legends.
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Fan Base is a startup that
Speaker 1: I've founded that allows anyone to monetize their content. Any
Speaker 1: and every person can monetize their content and make money
Speaker 1: off their content. What you mean? What you mean? Off
Speaker 1: their content so you can have followers and subscribers so
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of networks social networks out
Speaker 1: here that allow people to monetize their content. Everybody knows
Speaker 1: about only fans Patreon, but fan Base is a social
Speaker 1: network that allows anybody to monetize their content by having subscribers.
Speaker 1: You could also have followers, so you could have a
Speaker 1: ten thousand followers and thousand subscribers and it's on the
Speaker 1: same platform, so you're not isolated from content. And I'm
Speaker 1: providing content monetization to everybody. Like everybody, we all make content.
Speaker 1: All you guys are content creators, and you guys have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to monetize your content and make money. I
Speaker 1: think walking me through this the other day and I
Speaker 1: thought it was dope because the concept, you have the vision,
Speaker 1: you have to create black wealth from this for multiple beer. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: So what I'm doing is shout out to don Dixon,
Speaker 1: who've been on the Breakfast Club. She's like my mentor
Speaker 1: in this process. But they recommended me for a platform
Speaker 1: called start Engine and Startedge as a platform that allows
Speaker 1: you to crowdfund money and the seed stage. And I'm
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why that's important because I'm taking advantage
Speaker 1: of a statue some new legislation called the Jobs Act
Speaker 1: that allows the general public to raise funds for a startup. Now,
Speaker 1: you couldn't do this before Obama Biden passed the Jobs
Speaker 1: Act twenty twelve. So from nineteen thirty three to two
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve, you had to be a credited investor
Speaker 1: to invest in the seed stage company. That means you
Speaker 1: had to have a net worth of allion dollars minus
Speaker 1: your primary residents or make two hundred thousand dollars a
Speaker 1: year for two years in a row. Now think about that,
Speaker 1: from nineteen thirty three two now, that's like ninety nine
Speaker 1: percent of Americans didn't have that money. So all this time,
Speaker 1: the rich have been getting mature. So if you wonder
Speaker 1: why you never got a call to invest in Uber
Speaker 1: or Instagram or TikTok or any of these platforms because
Speaker 1: you were not rich enough. So now because of the
Speaker 1: Jobs Act, I'm able to raise funds from my startup,
Speaker 1: and I'm raising a million dollars on start Engine and
Speaker 1: right now we're about one hundred and seventy six thousand
Speaker 1: dollars in about eleven days. So the raisers moving very well.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of great people on the platform,
Speaker 1: that have invested. I think every investor that has contributed.
Speaker 1: I want everybody to invest because this is an opportunity
Speaker 1: to create black wealth off the culture that we create. Right,
Speaker 1: we give our we give our dances to TikTok, we
Speaker 1: give our clapbacks and our humor to Twitter. We give
Speaker 1: our content and our energy to Instagram. But we don't
Speaker 1: own any of those platforms. So fan Base. Fan Base
Speaker 1: is not a black platform, right, It's a platform for everybody.
Speaker 1: But I know, as you know, that black culture we
Speaker 1: drive these social networks. We make everything popping. So to
Speaker 1: be able to invest in the seed stage and own
Speaker 1: part of a platform that you also give your culture
Speaker 1: too is incredible and I want everybody to take advantage
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, what is fan Base available? Can I
Speaker 1: download it now? Can I get it now? You can?
Speaker 1: You can get it on the Apple app Store. We're
Speaker 1: only on the Apple App Store right now. We're working
Speaker 1: on Android. Android is coming in first supporter. Yeah, absolutely free.
Speaker 1: You can set it up, make a page. Matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I'll verify you both like that. You know, I know
Speaker 1: a guy that works there. So yeah, and you can start.
Speaker 1: You can start posting content and U and monetizing your content,
Speaker 1: and I think that's very important because you can actually
Speaker 1: do long form too, so you can blow up to
Speaker 1: an hour's worth of content h long form style. So
Speaker 1: now you're your own Netflix. So the quality of content
Speaker 1: you put on your fan based page, you monetize that,
Speaker 1: and so it's avail now. Um, the rev share is
Speaker 1: fifty fifty for anybody that wants to know, you make
Speaker 1: fifty percent of the revenue. And you can also like
Speaker 1: and love content. So you love a piece of content,
Speaker 1: you get the content, create a half a penny, you
Speaker 1: can like for free. But you can also tip content
Speaker 1: creators half a penny or unlocked posts. So it's an
Speaker 1: enormous amount of freedom there to monetize your content. And
Speaker 1: there's a lot of wealth that's going to be generated
Speaker 1: from this platform. Now is it better? Do you make
Speaker 1: more money than you could on only Fans? Because I
Speaker 1: see everybody running the only fans I mean only fans
Speaker 1: is really a great opportunity for sex workers and people
Speaker 1: that want to use the platform that no listen, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not, I'm not knocking. Only fans is
Speaker 1: no listen. The sex worker community is really aggravated because
Speaker 1: it was really their place, right, I gotta I gotta,
Speaker 1: I gotta deem this money, like I gotta deem this
Speaker 1: morning from a girl that was like, Yo, I'm a
Speaker 1: sex work on only fans and we're frustrated because ever
Speaker 1: since Bella Thorne came over there and messed it up
Speaker 1: for everybody, charging all that money, and everybody charged back
Speaker 1: there their money, they messed it up for this X workers.
Speaker 1: So that's a real niche market for them. And because
Speaker 1: of that, only fans is not allowed on the Apple
Speaker 1: App Store, the Google Play Store because they consider the
Speaker 1: point site. So it's a web bap so it's not
Speaker 1: a social network, you know what I'm saying. So it's
Speaker 1: not a place that are everybody's gonna get on there.
Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know if any of you
Speaker 1: are an only fans, but you're not gonna get on
Speaker 1: the neighbor like hey guy, let me sing you this
Speaker 1: girl or look at this and talk, you know, communication.
Speaker 1: I thought about using the platform because see I like
Speaker 1: the platform already because it's set up, so let's think
Speaker 1: about it like this, right. You know, I do real estate,
Speaker 1: so every week I have somebody on there talking about
Speaker 1: real estate. Where people could subscribe and go to it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So, but I just felt
Speaker 1: like only fans, like you said, felt like a little
Speaker 1: sex workers. I don't I don't want people to come
Speaker 1: to my site and subscribe and think and he was
Speaker 1: gonna be in a man throne. Let's see the show. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: you see, but absolutely, and and it kind of and
Speaker 1: it drives away like two things that it does keep
Speaker 1: away from the platform, which are brands which are definitely
Speaker 1: gonna be a part of fan base, because every brand
Speaker 1: has a has a fan base. You know, Nike has
Speaker 1: a fan base the time. All these brands and fan bases,
Speaker 1: and then a large group of women that don't really
Speaker 1: want to be associated with that site because of the
Speaker 1: sex works. And so you can go to you can
Speaker 1: go to fan base and make a page. You can
Speaker 1: monetize your photos, your videos, your long form content, and
Speaker 1: your live so everything. You can make money off all
Speaker 1: of that. And we're not thralling down engagement. So everybody's
Speaker 1: been complaining about the algorithms on these other apps. We're
Speaker 1: not throttling your engagement down. How many followers you got
Speaker 1: envy on all social media platforms or just Instagram, give
Speaker 1: me Instagram, Instagram, and I think it's like two million,
Speaker 1: and I think on all platforms about over three million.
Speaker 1: So if you go live on Instagram, they don't send
Speaker 1: out two million notifications. I mean you only get a
Speaker 1: fresh And Instagram is funny. Now they change the way
Speaker 1: they do it. They change the like even on the
Speaker 1: way people the people view your videos and view your
Speaker 1: live they changed it now, which is crazy. They throttle
Speaker 1: it down. And this is this is what my experience,
Speaker 1: my engagement to throttle down. And I've heard people complain
Speaker 1: because they really want to have access. They really want
Speaker 1: you to pay to that audience because they're an ad
Speaker 1: based platform. Well on fan base, if you go live,
Speaker 1: I want to send out two million notifications because the
Speaker 1: more eyeballs you have on me, the more people convert
Speaker 1: to subscribers. Therefore, the more money you make, the more
Speaker 1: profitable we are. And if people are making money, people
Speaker 1: are happy and they're using the platform, that's right, all right.
Speaker 1: We got more with Isaac Hays the third keep a
Speaker 1: lock This the Breakfast Club, Good morning, everybody is DJ
Speaker 1: Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we are. The Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club was still kicking it with Isaac Hayes, the third Charlomagne.
Speaker 1: You know one thing you showed me that I was like, wow,
Speaker 1: it's not large amounts of money these people invest into
Speaker 1: these social media sites. I mean not in you know,
Speaker 1: one hundred millionaires, sometimes billionaires, But they didn't invest a
Speaker 1: lot of money into these social media sites. So let
Speaker 1: me let me give you an idea about seed stage investment, right,
Speaker 1: So I'll use Urn Michaels as an example. He invested
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars into uber and the seed stage in
Speaker 1: two and ten, and in twenty nineteen it was worth
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars. Think about then, it's an a
Speaker 1: credited investor. You never got that phone call. So the
Speaker 1: fact that I'm having a seed stage round in my
Speaker 1: startup to allow the black community predominantly, you know, because
Speaker 1: this is exactly like I mean, understanding that black culture
Speaker 1: drives these networks. I want black people to invest. I
Speaker 1: want every influencer out there, every artist to say, you
Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna take a little bit of money
Speaker 1: investing in fan base and then I'm gonna bring my
Speaker 1: audience over there. So I'm gonna make money on the
Speaker 1: front end. And the back end. It's a win win
Speaker 1: because if you use the app, you're actually you're actually
Speaker 1: pumping up your evaluation. You're actually making the company go
Speaker 1: higher right in valuation by you simply using the app,
Speaker 1: and you're making money. So you know that's that's a real,
Speaker 1: real important aspect to this raise. And the minimum investment
Speaker 1: is two hundred and fifty six dollars. Wow, So I
Speaker 1: mean in Atlanta we blown who couldect that? Every day?
Speaker 1: So we doing Georgians were doing, who can we do it?
Speaker 1: Heney for three hundred a bottle? So you know, how
Speaker 1: about you throw a little bit of money into a
Speaker 1: startup and turn around one day and say, now I
Speaker 1: can buy a lot of So I'm saying knocking by
Speaker 1: all the hendy I want? Which one is that's it?
Speaker 1: Right there? No? Absolutely, the one with the lightning bolt
Speaker 1: after the top. Yes, yes, indeed. So anybody that invests
Speaker 1: right your your investment will convert at a liquidity event,
Speaker 1: which means either we exit the company right with with
Speaker 1: an acquisition, or we go public with an IPO or
Speaker 1: a merger. So what I've been noticing, the trend that
Speaker 1: I've been noticing on these startups is The valuation of
Speaker 1: these platforms has been skyrocking even in the last eight years.
Speaker 1: Like Instagram sold for a billion in two twelve, and
Speaker 1: everybody thought that was amazing, and then What's upsold for
Speaker 1: nineteen billion I think in twenty fourteen, and I think
Speaker 1: LinkedIn sold for like twenty four billion in like twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and now you've got TikTok at a fifty
Speaker 1: billion dollars valuation, right, So imagine exiting, imagining a company
Speaker 1: like fan Base exiting potentially at an evaluation like that.
Speaker 1: It's not guaranteed. I'm making no guarantees, but the trend
Speaker 1: in which these platforms are going, the valuations are skyrocking
Speaker 1: because the youth are getting on these platforms. There's five
Speaker 1: G that's available and everybody understands gamification and in that
Speaker 1: purchases and payment. So it's very, very important. Like I
Speaker 1: think there's a great enormous amount of opportunity to invest
Speaker 1: in the platform like this. I don't want people to
Speaker 1: miss out and be like, man, that shouldn't invested in
Speaker 1: fan base, you know, and then they miss out. Do
Speaker 1: you have a cap for the seed money? Like you said,
Speaker 1: you know what I got so many people. So the
Speaker 1: raise closes at one million dollars, right, and so it's
Speaker 1: open now. We're going to continue to raise capital. It's
Speaker 1: moving pretty fast, like given in the last day. I
Speaker 1: think we've raised maybe twenty five or thirty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: since yesterday, so it's moving pretty fast. You can go
Speaker 1: to start engine dot com slash fan base and invest
Speaker 1: right now. It's extremely important and it's a great opportunity
Speaker 1: for you to get on part of a seed stage company.
Speaker 1: That's just the most important thing. And I want to
Speaker 1: see everybody went. I would love nothing more than four
Speaker 1: to five years from now, I'll be standing in a
Speaker 1: room with everybody that invested, with a bunch of African
Speaker 1: American millionaires that really put their capital into a company,
Speaker 1: and we turned it into something special based off of
Speaker 1: what we do. Base so verify me. So I'm um,
Speaker 1: I'm bad. I could verify you right now on my
Speaker 1: phone in front of you. All right, we're going to
Speaker 1: We're gonna we're going to invest too before you go either,
Speaker 1: because you know, we kind of backed up a little bit.
Speaker 1: Can you tell us what's the importance of supporting those
Speaker 1: Senate seats in Georgia. Uh, come January. So I mean,
Speaker 1: for all the for all the energy that we put
Speaker 1: on Joe Biden and what we want him to promise,
Speaker 1: fulfilling his promises, he still needs permission. That's how government works.
Speaker 1: So the House and the Senate give the president permission
Speaker 1: to pass what he wants. So these two Senate seats, right,
Speaker 1: Johnsoff and Raphael Warner are key in Joe Biden passing
Speaker 1: his agenda. So we want to be able to say,
Speaker 1: not say that Joe Biden didn't do anything for the
Speaker 1: African American community if it will only be well if
Speaker 1: part of the reason will be because we did not
Speaker 1: have these two sentence seats to allow his legislation to
Speaker 1: smoothly pass through. So that is exactly why we need
Speaker 1: to get out here in Georgia. And what I hear
Speaker 1: is a lot of people are coming to Georgia. I
Speaker 1: hear people areheaded to hear the post up and stay
Speaker 1: down here for a little while until this election is one.
Speaker 1: You got should come down maybe if you have a chance,
Speaker 1: you're to come down for a couple of weeks and
Speaker 1: kick it. We're going down the absolutely absolutely, So we
Speaker 1: havevide everybody to come down. You know the world is
Speaker 1: going to come here and help win this selection. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is pouting. Let him pout. He's no longer the president.
Speaker 1: We're all happy, but we have to really keep our
Speaker 1: eye on the prize and continue to vote like this
Speaker 1: doesn't stop. This is only the beginning. This is not
Speaker 1: the finish line. This is the starting line, and the
Speaker 1: race never ends. Did you did you see that potential
Speaker 1: for Georgia, the potential for Georgia turn blue. Okay, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean they you know, they've been doing voter suppression
Speaker 1: down here, those tactics for a long long while. Stacy
Speaker 1: Abrams should have been governor. I hope she runs again.
Speaker 1: The power, you know, the power in this very um
Speaker 1: you know, emerging progressive city, especially places in Atlanta, in
Speaker 1: the South, Savannah Making Columbus where a lot of black
Speaker 1: arm claves are because the black vote is really what
Speaker 1: won Georgia at the end of the day, um, you know,
Speaker 1: for for Biden in the country, all these democratic cities
Speaker 1: with African American turnout see And the best thing about
Speaker 1: that is is it gives us hope now because more
Speaker 1: people most people say, oh man, we never went in
Speaker 1: Georgia like why I get out and vote every year
Speaker 1: and nothing ever happens. But now you see with the
Speaker 1: effect of our vote, what it's done, and we flipped
Speaker 1: Georgia blue. And so now it gives us the energy
Speaker 1: and motivation and also our neighbors, our neighbors in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: our neighbors, our neighbors in Alabama, Alabama and Mississippi and
Speaker 1: in Florida to really say, you know what, if Georgia
Speaker 1: can do it, we can do it. That's really happened. Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 1: As soon as I saw that as the fourth thing
Speaker 1: I said, I hit Jamie Harrison and I hit Boocar.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't know what we gotta do. Well,
Speaker 1: we gotta turn South Carolina blue. We gotta like, we
Speaker 1: gotta follows then in Georgia. And what that does is
Speaker 1: it creates like a mentality and energy and confidence like okay,
Speaker 1: can we start. We get on our we get on
Speaker 1: our own vibe. And what that does is it helps
Speaker 1: us to actually pass the legislation on the local and
Speaker 1: federal level. Like what I would love nothing more in
Speaker 1: Georgia is to get we decriminalize statewide and actually legalize
Speaker 1: the sale and then somehow find some legislation that matches
Speaker 1: the amount of effect of negative effect that the weed
Speaker 1: weed charges have had on the African American community, to
Speaker 1: provide opportunity for us to have those grow licenses and
Speaker 1: profit off that business. The people affected by that legislation
Speaker 1: and those laws should be the ones to benefit the most.
Speaker 1: Right now, that's not happening. But we need a governor
Speaker 1: in place and a state legislature in place to make
Speaker 1: sure that that happens. So Georgia can really do that.
Speaker 1: And there's and the great thing about that is there's
Speaker 1: a lot of African American people that own land in Georgia,
Speaker 1: a lot of black landowners in Georgia. But it's a
Speaker 1: great opportunity. A well, give us that fan base in
Speaker 1: for one more time. Man Man start engine dot com
Speaker 1: slash fan base. We're on the way to a million.
Speaker 1: We want you to be part of it. The minimum
Speaker 1: investment is two hundred and fifty six dollars. Make a page,
Speaker 1: Start monetizing your content. Tell a friend to tell a
Speaker 1: friend to tell a friend that this is what black tech,
Speaker 1: in investing in black businesses and in blessing in black
Speaker 1: culture is about. That. We love to have you we're
Speaker 1: gonna have you back guards, but I just wanted you
Speaker 1: to come on and talk about fan base this morning.
Speaker 1: Your ser man, appreciate it. Thanks for having the Breakfast
Speaker 1: Club listen. Oh gosh, it's rum Report. God, it's the

Speaker 1: the People's Choice Awards were on, and we'll tell you
Speaker 1: some of the winners. And of course we've been talking
Speaker 1: about who was going to get the People's Champion Award.
Speaker 1: You know that was Tyler Perry, but let's start with
Speaker 1: Jennifer Lopez. She was the People's Icon of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: You're right, stand so very grateful knowing that the true
Speaker 1: measure of my success is not in box office numbers
Speaker 1: or records sold, or from the love that I feel
Speaker 1: from all of you. That the true measure is in
Speaker 1: inspiring girls of all ages and of all colors, from
Speaker 1: all around the world to know that you can be
Speaker 1: anything you want and to be proud of who you are,
Speaker 1: no matter where you come from. I want them to
Speaker 1: know their dreams are limited only by their imagination and
Speaker 1: determination and their willingness to never give up. A low
Speaker 1: Man Fashion Icon Award I wear my insides on the outside.
Speaker 1: And if featuring black designers that the American Music Awards
Speaker 1: helped someone see the power of black artistry, or if
Speaker 1: joining the call to wear black at the Golden Globes
Speaker 1: led to solidarity with women saying times up on sexual harassment,
Speaker 1: then you heard me loud and clear. If fashion is
Speaker 1: the thing that draws you in, then use it as
Speaker 1: a tool for transformation, all right, and went to Tyler Perry.
Speaker 1: In this world, we're all digging wells. But if you
Speaker 1: just keep digging, you may be four inches away from
Speaker 1: every gift and every blessing that you've ever wanted in
Speaker 1: your life. Had I given up when I was homeless,
Speaker 1: when I was sleeping in my car, when I was hungry,
Speaker 1: had I given up, these people that you see on
Speaker 1: this screen right now would not be a part of
Speaker 1: my dream. There are people who are tied into your
Speaker 1: dream and your destiny, and you are worthy of getting
Speaker 1: to your goal. Keep digging, and let me tell you
Speaker 1: something like I tell everyone here. When you get there,
Speaker 1: when you get to that water and you see it
Speaker 1: it's coming and you know you have what you need,
Speaker 1: make sure that everybody you run into meet you at
Speaker 1: your worth all right, all right, they were over one
Speaker 1: billion of votes cast this year, just fyi, So this
Speaker 1: is where people actually choose who wins these awards. So
Speaker 1: some of these the winners were bad Boys for Life

Speaker 1: the House of Representatives in Belize. So congratulations to him.
Speaker 1: He closed to thank you, He said, it was the
Speaker 1: greatest humility that I accept this victory for us we
Speaker 1: won today. This victory is for all those who are
Speaker 1: just like me and Mesopotamia, Belize and the world over
Speaker 1: all those who have taken a fall, all those who
Speaker 1: have stumbled on their life's journey. We all fall, but
Speaker 1: to get up and walk, run and rise again is
Speaker 1: the purpose of life. Oh yes, congratulate you gotta love it.
Speaker 1: And now let's talk about Claudia Jordan. She's been talking
Speaker 1: about how Donald Trump had tried to come on to
Speaker 1: her before when she was doing Celebrity Apprentice. Well, now
Speaker 1: she's telling even more about that because some people were saying, oh, well, then,
Speaker 1: how can Donald Trump be racist if he actually was
Speaker 1: trying to kiss you and take you out? And here's
Speaker 1: what she had to say, how can he treat you
Speaker 1: on Celebrity Apprentice? Nice to me? Because he wanted to.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, there's more than a few slave
Speaker 1: masters that by having sex with black women can still
Speaker 1: be racist and have sex with the black women. I'll
