Speaker 10: All right, let's get into it.
Speaker 9: We are watching more develop out west with the LA
Speaker 9: Wildfires or fire officials are giving an update on a
Speaker 9: new fire burning rapidly through southern California. The Hughes Fire
Speaker 9: sparked Wednesday morning, burning more than ten thousand acres near
Speaker 9: the Castaic area, in a remote area north of Los Angeles.
Speaker 9: LA County Fire Chief Anthony Maroney spoke about battling the blaze,
Speaker 9: and LA County Sheriff Robert Luna assured residents not to
Speaker 9: stress about looters.
Speaker 10: Let's hear from those officials.
Speaker 4: The situation remains dynamic and the fire remains a difficult
Speaker 4: fire to contain, although we are getting the upper hand.
Speaker 11: So I want to make sure people know that that
Speaker 11: if you leave your homes, there will be a dish
Speaker 11: old deputies working out there in the neighborhoods to make
Speaker 11: sure your homes are safe.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: So no structures have been damaged so far from this
Speaker 9: particular fire, with roughly four thousand fire personnel assisting officials,
Speaker 9: do say wins are driving the spread of the fire,
Speaker 9: with the National Weather Service extending a red flag warning
Speaker 9: through ten am tomorrow morning. So well, can continue to
Speaker 9: keep you guys posted and continue to keep La in
Speaker 9: our prayers in regards to those fires.
Speaker 8: Yeah, they said, they said rain is going to be
Speaker 8: coming this week, and that's what they're praying and hoping
Speaker 8: for just a little bit of rain.
Speaker 3: But I wonder when du see when you came to
Speaker 3: their rain dance and that monsoon is on the way.
Speaker 2: I don't know about I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 3: How much rain is coming, but they said rain.
Speaker 8: I was just curious, when do the insurance companies start
Speaker 8: heading over there and start evaluating and start paying those people, you.
Speaker 7: Know, some of them were what was the thing about
Speaker 7: people not getting full insurance for the houses so that.
Speaker 9: Their insurance was dropped beforehand, weeks beforehand. But yeah, I
Speaker 9: believe that some of the stuff is already being processed.
Speaker 9: You just have it really is case by case though,
Speaker 9: considering what your coverage is or you know, based on
Speaker 9: where you're located and things of that nature. So yeah,
Speaker 9: it is going to be a case by case. But
Speaker 9: in case you in case you missed it. President Trump.
Speaker 9: He did sit down for his first Oval office interview
Speaker 9: in his second term. In a conversation with Sean Hennity
Speaker 9: that aired last night on Fox News, he says many
Speaker 9: of the issues of the past four years wouldn't have
Speaker 9: happened had he still been in office. He slammed the
Speaker 9: Democratic Party, calling their policies horrible. Trump is hinting at
Speaker 9: changes coming to FEMA, saying the agency complicates things, it
Speaker 9: hasn't done its job over the past four years states,
Speaker 9: and he suggested that states should take care of their
Speaker 9: own problems and that FEMA should play a secondary role
Speaker 9: to states dealing with their own emergencies now. Trump also
Speaker 9: believes that most people in California don't want sanctuary cities.
Speaker 9: And he claimed millions of gallons of water is available
Speaker 9: in northern California and just needs to be diverted or
Speaker 9: pumped down to southern California. But right now it's being
Speaker 9: diverted into the Pacific Ocean. Let's hear those comments from
Speaker 9: Trump's interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News last night.
Speaker 12: California is a great example of it, if you actually
Speaker 12: pulled the people. They don't want sanctuary cities, but Gavin
Speaker 12: Newsom does, and these radical left politicians too. And you know,
Speaker 12: if you asked them why, they couldn't even I watched
Speaker 12: Gavin Newsom try to answer that question. He was unable
Speaker 12: to even answer. He looked like an idiot. He was
Speaker 12: unable to answer. I asked him one other question, why
Speaker 12: is it that you don't want millions of gallons of
Speaker 12: water a day pouring throughout California. You know, the farmland
Speaker 12: in California is they say, the equivalent of Iowa great Land,
Speaker 12: but it's got no water.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 9: He also eluded or suggested that he would withhold any
Speaker 9: federal aid from California if they don't pretty much follow
Speaker 9: what he wants him them to follow. But he's suggesting
Speaker 9: that we will see what Trump does because we can
Speaker 9: clearly see that this is going to be one of
Speaker 9: his first issues that he needs to deal with. So
Speaker 9: he will address the World Economic Forum remotely today. The
Speaker 9: annual event is being held in Davos, Switzerland. It'll be
Speaker 9: his first major speech to global business and political leaders
Speaker 9: since Monday's inauguration.
Speaker 10: So here we are, day three, day.
Speaker 9: Four, where we're well, well funder well underway into a
Speaker 9: Trump presidency. So you know, we should start to see
Speaker 9: some things come about.
Speaker 2: But let me ask you a quick question before we
Speaker 2: go to the next hour.
Speaker 8: I was gonna ask I thought Trump said something like
Speaker 8: he wanted state by state, He didn't want to do
Speaker 8: any more female funding or federal funding. He wanted the
Speaker 8: states to handle their own funding with their own problems.
Speaker 2: Was that true? Is that a good thing or bad thing?
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure.
Speaker 9: I'm not sure that that's a good thing because what
Speaker 9: happens is like, if you look at a situation like Katrina,
Speaker 9: how can the state handle themselves? You know you have
Speaker 9: to bring in outside at a funded Yeah, you have
Speaker 9: to bring in outside aid sometimes to get people.
Speaker 10: Back on their feet.
Speaker 9: In certain situations, you know, So I don't want to
Speaker 9: say I understand and I get you know, Hey.
Speaker 8: I was just asking because he was saying it would
Speaker 8: just he would just give the funding directly to the
Speaker 8: state of opposed to go another thing.
Speaker 3: I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
Speaker 3: That's what I was asking.
Speaker 9: I don't think that's a good thing at all. I mean,
Speaker 9: that's just my personal opinion. But you know, that's the
Speaker 9: whole point of having the FED is to have your back,
Speaker 9: you know, when you when the state can't cover it.
Speaker 10: I guess, but you know, we'll see.
Speaker 5: You know what really helped. If the rich paid did
Speaker 5: fair share of taxes, that would help too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Well, well that's your front page news the six am.
Speaker 9: At seven am, we'll talk about d e I all.
Speaker 8: Right, everybody else, get it off your chest. Eight hundred
Speaker 8: five eight five one oh five one. Phone lines to
Speaker 8: wide open one. Eight hundred five eight five one oh
Speaker 8: five one is.
Speaker 3: The breakfast club the morning the Breakfast Club?

Speaker 2: your chest. Canning.
Speaker 16: Yeah, man, Look, I'm not really in the takes. I'm
Speaker 16: not really into all the hoop that is going on
Speaker 16: with the government.
Speaker 17: But what is crazy is COVID. Remember that sham.
Speaker 16: Turns out they're not giving out vaccines anymore. They're not
Speaker 16: going to regarding that. Turns out it comes to like
Speaker 16: that at a stam and Biden before he left the office,
Speaker 16: he found you he can't even be brought up on
Speaker 16: any charge or anything.
Speaker 3: That is true. Why are you telling us just like
Speaker 3: we don't know?
Speaker 6: Doesn't move to me?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah he got He definitely got pardon
Speaker 3: before he left the White House.
Speaker 8: Yeah, it is crazy that that, you know, all those
Speaker 8: people that didn't want to take the vaccine in certain
Speaker 8: states were fired, They lost their jobs, they lost their income.
Speaker 2: It's really crazy that.
Speaker 8: Now, you know, I think Trump signed something where at
Speaker 8: least he's given the military back pay and allowing them
Speaker 8: to come back. But it is crazy that people lost
Speaker 8: a lot for not wanting to take a vaccine that
Speaker 8: wasn't tried and tested.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't know what doctor Vouti is guilty
Speaker 5: of or not guilty of, but I do know, Uh,
Speaker 5: preemptive partons are not helping him beat any allegations, any
Speaker 5: allegations that the YouTube conspiracy theorists have made about doctor
Speaker 5: Fauci give them the giving them a preemptive parton is
Speaker 5: not helping them beat the allegations at all.
Speaker 2: But I ain't gonna for the I was Joe Biden.
Speaker 2: I'll be scared. Trump said yesterday, you pardon everybody yourself
Speaker 2: but yourself. That's right, You ain't part of yourself.
Speaker 3: That's I would be scared. That's right.
Speaker 2: Well that he might see. He's on his way out,
Speaker 2: but I don't know.
Speaker 3: Hello, who's this.
Speaker 2: It's London, Hey, London, Good morning, good.

Speaker 8: So the so the military, of course, they have ROTC
Speaker 8: and they have programs where they you know, pay for
Speaker 8: your college if you serve in the military, but also
Speaker 8: usually police officers, they usually give you a discount help
Speaker 8: you on your taxes if you live in certain areas.
Speaker 8: I know in New York City, if you live in
Speaker 8: the actual burroughs. I don't think they charge you as
Speaker 8: much taxes when it comes to state tax so they
Speaker 8: do give you a little bit.
Speaker 3: I agree with her, though, you should also get free
Speaker 3: college and free held.
Speaker 6: We should if your fight in the war too.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 5: The NPD, the NYPD budget is like five.
Speaker 2: Point eight billion dollars. They could have puorded something for us.
Speaker 3: I agree with that. But thank you.
Speaker 16: London, Thank you y'all.
Speaker 6: Have a good day.
Speaker 3: You pull me over, let me slide.
Speaker 2: I got you right.
Speaker 3: Where does all that money go for the New York
Speaker 3: Police Department budget? Five point eight billion? That's the most
Speaker 3: in the country like this.
Speaker 5: The second I think the second is LA and they
Speaker 5: get like one point something billions.
Speaker 8: They might the dancing shit not that, but you know
Speaker 8: they use it for drones that they use a lot
Speaker 8: of anti terrorists.
Speaker 3: They have a lot of offices on the street.
Speaker 7: I remember then they have like what was the car
Speaker 7: they had, that nice car? It was romantic the NYPD
Speaker 7: for it.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know they they used a lot of robots.
Speaker 8: I know that there's a lot of drone, a lot
Speaker 8: of anti terrorist stuff that they have, especially when when
Speaker 8: when things happen in the city. I know that for
Speaker 8: a fact. But I don't know where all that money's going.
Speaker 2: But get it off your chest. I think it was
Speaker 2: a Porsche, and my pey got a Porsche.
Speaker 4: I'm looking at I.
Speaker 3: Have no reason for no.
Speaker 5: Goddamn police also have no Porsch unless it was repossessed
Speaker 5: and they got it for free.
Speaker 2: But then they could at least soul and kept the money.
Speaker 4: But when viral people was pissed off, I never seen.
Speaker 3: Might have been AI.
Speaker 8: Yeah, get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight
Speaker 8: five one oh five wone hit us up right now.
Speaker 8: It's the breakfast cloak in the morning, the breakfast club.
Speaker 8: This is your time to get it off your chest,
Speaker 8: whether you're man or blessed.
Speaker 2: I hate the way that you walk, the way that
Speaker 2: you talk. I hate the way that you dress everything.
Speaker 3: When me is best call up next eight hundred five
Speaker 3: eight five five one, Not.
Speaker 2: Just me, I'm with the coach of filing. Hello, who's this?
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's a big old frona.
Speaker 2: What's up, big old get it off your chest?
Speaker 6: Big o y'all doing this morning?
Speaker 18: Man?
Speaker 6: I just want to say that I'm just kind of
Speaker 6: upset with the President. He passed all these legislations, but
Speaker 6: he didn't get rid of that overtime tax. I work
Speaker 6: on power lines and there, I mean, we make a
Speaker 6: lot of overtime. I was expecting not to be paying
Speaker 6: taxes on that. Also, I mean he just said that
Speaker 6: he's not gonna help California with FEMA. But we I
Speaker 6: live in the South, or we just had four states
Speaker 6: hit by a hurricane, So what is he gonna do
Speaker 6: in those states come at the contact with another hurricane?
Speaker 5: Why did he's just upset with California because of Gavin Newsom?
Speaker 5: Because Gavin Newsom, you know, said he was gonna Trump
Speaker 5: prove California. So I just think that's that's that's a
Speaker 5: little bit of pettiness right there. I don't know how
Speaker 5: he feels about the hurricanes in the South.
Speaker 6: Well, they're gonna happen every year and they're getting worse.
Speaker 6: So I mean him saying he's not gonna help California's
Speaker 6: as to go across the border, and if he gets
Speaker 6: rid of FEMA, I mean, it's gonna be a big
Speaker 6: problem because most of it's a welfare state. Anyway.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was wondering.
Speaker 5: I do wonder about that, you know, I wonder what
Speaker 5: the what the other option is, because you know, he
Speaker 5: said he said FEMA is getting in the way and
Speaker 5: states should take care of their own. So if FEMA
Speaker 5: was getting in the way, then you know, what's the
Speaker 5: other option.
Speaker 6: I don't think he has a solution to that, but
Speaker 6: that's all I had. Man, y'all have a great morning.
Speaker 3: You have a good one.
Speaker 2: Hello, who's this? What's up?
Speaker 6: Jay?
Speaker 3: Get it off your chest?
Speaker 17: Brother fair? Before I did that morning, Vy, you give
Speaker 17: him some job at the iron meeting like your entire
Speaker 17: company before a Trump came in. And when I left
Speaker 17: the then I'm expecting to talk about talking for blacks,
Speaker 17: you know, man in the work first, but it was
Speaker 17: all about.
Speaker 5: Why are you talking like you're doing the quiet storm
Speaker 5: on somebody's radio station, Like, what's up?
Speaker 15: Bro?
Speaker 3: Come on. I don't even know what you say, what
Speaker 3: you're saying. Last thing you said, you want to send.
Speaker 2: This out to all the transgender No, no, no, he
Speaker 2: said with a D I meeting his job.
Speaker 17: Yeah, it wasn't what I expected, and I thought that
Speaker 17: I'm talking about the black progress and that woman in
Speaker 17: the workforce. But it was all about like LGB is
Speaker 17: huge transgenderism and their progress and then want there while
Speaker 17: the pas that with the iron and made me think
Speaker 17: about what doctor Lamar said. I think when you first
Speaker 17: came on, you show that the progress of blacks to
Speaker 17: kind of being hindered because keep pushing one of what
Speaker 17: you thought about that, I think Nancy May said the
Speaker 17: same thing, like it's a lot of things common between
Speaker 17: post Democrats, but the fine print swear to keep pushing
Speaker 17: little things here and there.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't know nothing
Speaker 5: you said transgender, Nancy mays, doctor.
Speaker 3: Uma, you don't even d a D. I I don't
Speaker 3: even know what what are you?
Speaker 2: What is your question?
Speaker 11: What do you?
Speaker 3: What are you getting up in chest? Exactly? You're just
Speaker 3: upset about the meeting, but.
Speaker 13: Not about it.
Speaker 17: But like I guess at the one point that the
Speaker 17: progress of black and isn't hindered because of the push.
Speaker 8: Right, okay, brother, well you get it off your chest.
Speaker 8: Can you throw into the next record as assistant record
Speaker 8: the saying next.
Speaker 2: Up is scissor next record for record, And you said
Speaker 2: that right now.

Speaker 5: the time they introduce a slow song.
Speaker 4: Get it off.
Speaker 3: Shout out to all the lesbians out there who wanted
Speaker 3: to sizzle this record for you.
Speaker 8: Sizzle eight hundred five eighty five one oh five one.

Speaker 7: on the jewelry that they're trying to select. So we're
Speaker 7: gonna get into it, all.
Speaker 8: Right, we'll get into that. NeXT's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
Speaker 8: the Breakfast Club, Good morning.
Speaker 2: Everybody's d J n V.
Speaker 8: Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne the gud We are the Breakfast Club
Speaker 8: Laurna Rosa fillin and for jests and let's get to
Speaker 8: Jess with the mess.
Speaker 2: Hilarius, Jess Ca Robin Moore, just don't do no lines,
Speaker 2: don't do.
Speaker 15: Talk to nobody, nooy talk the world why Jess worldwide
Speaker 15: mess talk on the breakfast clubs, the coaches with Lauren,
Speaker 15: Lauren Rosa and I got.
Speaker 4: The mess talk to me.
Speaker 7: So ain't that Rocky Day two? They are now trying
Speaker 7: to yesterday? It was day two, Today will be day
Speaker 7: three today January twenty third. They are now trying to
Speaker 7: find the jury that will you know, be listening to
Speaker 7: his case.
Speaker 13: Yep.
Speaker 7: So the issue yesterday was that out of one hundred
Speaker 7: and six people that reported for jury selection, only five
Speaker 7: of the people were black. Now, this was an issue
Speaker 7: that Asat Rocky's attorney, Joe Tekapina, took up with the court.
Speaker 4: He said that this is not proper.
Speaker 7: There should be more diverse representation, especially because of the
Speaker 7: area that they drew the jewelry from.
Speaker 4: He says that that.
Speaker 7: Area, that pool, there's a nine percent black population. So
Speaker 7: for only five black people, four to five black people
Speaker 7: to show up or be selected, it's not divers And
Speaker 7: he's pushing back early on that, the judge says, well, look,
Speaker 7: there's no authority that requires any particular percentage of ethnicity
Speaker 7: on a jury.
Speaker 4: So we hear you, but like, what are you leaning into.
Speaker 3: Here when they say jury of your pis what do
Speaker 3: they mean exactly?
Speaker 8: Could be your neighborhood to be people that's in the
Speaker 8: same neighborhood but also your same ethnic background.
Speaker 3: Right, well, yeah, so, and and I never looked into it.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 7: Veren Al Sharpton actually spoken this as well too, because
Speaker 7: he basically said people Asad Rocky's friends and family have
Speaker 7: been in contact with him, he doesn't know all the
Speaker 7: particulars of the case, but he said the same thing
Speaker 7: that you said, like he's supposed to be judged by
Speaker 7: his peers and it needs to be fair, and that
Speaker 7: he's going to keep his eye on this case and
Speaker 7: he's going to keep calling out things that are not
Speaker 7: unfair because already it kind of seems like like people
Speaker 7: are like, hm hmm, it's just a little weird.
Speaker 4: It's just a little set up.
Speaker 3: Black people don't do jury duty a generalization out there,
Speaker 3: LA don't do jury.
Speaker 7: The last time, I don't want to talk about on it. Okay,
Speaker 7: but I haven't done it in a while.
Speaker 3: I haven't been called in a while. But you know
Speaker 3: the reason I'm not able to do it is because
Speaker 3: I have felties.
Speaker 5: So that's why I can't wait to get partnered by themself, Red, myself,
Speaker 5: no anybody else.
Speaker 3: But don't say black. But Brad said he's never been called.
Speaker 3: Don't you said you haven't been called?
Speaker 4: You know, black people and all people who do it
Speaker 4: because they don't want to go to work.
Speaker 3: See, we don't.
Speaker 8: We usually don't do Jerry duty because we don't want
Speaker 8: to go somewhere and they pay us Dominicans. I am black, sir,
Speaker 8: but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know a lot of people that don't get you.
Speaker 4: Two sides of the coin.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I'm black.
Speaker 5: You know what's funny, though in this era, they might
Speaker 5: call a jury of aceps pears, a DEI jury, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean. You never know, But I also did.
Speaker 5: When I saw this story yesterday, I said to myself,
Speaker 5: I know Reverend can multitask, but after the few first
Speaker 5: days of the Trump administration and all the executive orders
Speaker 5: we saw Trumps sign, I could think several other things
Speaker 5: that Reverend should be focusing in attention on.
Speaker 7: But I think it was more so because his ending
Speaker 7: line says, I am monitoring this trial and challenging the
Speaker 7: LA District Attorney to ensure that fair and that there's
Speaker 7: fair reprettation.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: I think this was just like a yo, this is
Speaker 4: Asat Rocky.
Speaker 7: I don't know if y'all are familiar with him, but
Speaker 7: don't play with him in his courtroom because he does
Speaker 7: have allies out here. I think that that's all that
Speaker 7: tweet was because it was just a simple tweet. But
Speaker 7: when Asac arrived to the court, he arrived with his
Speaker 7: mom and his sister yesterday for day two, and the
Speaker 7: judge was on his mom's body. Okay, When ace attorney
Speaker 7: stood up to introduce, because he's like, who are the
Speaker 7: new people in the court room, Acep's attorney is like, oh,
Speaker 7: this is Acep's mom and his sister, and his attorneys
Speaker 7: like his mom and his I mean, the judges like
Speaker 7: his mom. And the attorney's like, yeah, you can't tell
Speaker 7: who's the mom and who's the sister. And the judge said,
Speaker 7: you are beautiful, and that is on record.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Yes, so black Judge I don't.
Speaker 4: I didn't google the judge to see if he was
Speaker 4: that on court.
Speaker 2: What did that have to do with the game.
Speaker 7: That question came up and reporting and someone after the
Speaker 7: court asked one of the reporters, They're like, can't that
Speaker 7: be looked at as like already unfair? And what was
Speaker 7: mentioned in the conversation was it's not because there was
Speaker 7: no jury in the actual room when he said it.
Speaker 4: Okay, so that's what it's being said.
Speaker 7: But yeah, So basically another thing that came up as
Speaker 7: well to the first day in yesterday they leaned into
Speaker 7: was the fact that now ACEP Rocky's defense is going
Speaker 7: to be that the gun that he had was a
Speaker 7: prop gun or starter gun. For anybody that is not
Speaker 7: familiar with what a prop gun or starter gun is,
Speaker 7: this is a small gun. It only can fire blanks.
Speaker 7: So basically it wouldn't been able to shoot anybody or
Speaker 7: graze anybody the way that they are alleging.
Speaker 4: That it happened.
Speaker 7: Now the prosecution is upset because they're like to ACEPS attorneys, Yo,
Speaker 7: y'all never told us that this was going to be
Speaker 7: all defense. This is last minute, we're supposed to know things.
Speaker 7: Thirty days in advance so that we can have a
Speaker 7: chance to prepare and respond to this. Why is this
Speaker 7: coming up now? And there an ACEPS team is like, no,
Speaker 7: we alluded to it. We said that because of who
Speaker 7: he is, because of home invasions, he does different things
Speaker 7: to secure himself. So there was a whole back and
Speaker 7: forth about that as well too. And ACEPS team said
Speaker 7: that they actually had witnesses who were going to testify
Speaker 7: that that gun was just a prop gun.
Speaker 3: Was there a real bullet that they pulled out of somebody?
Speaker 4: So that's the thing.
Speaker 7: They haven't been able to find any show when they went.
Speaker 7: When investigators went, they didn't find any shell cases except
Speaker 7: raally turned in shellcases. But I believe that they never
Speaker 7: found a gun as well too, So there's a whole
Speaker 7: back and forth about that as well.
Speaker 8: Did they basically say really allegedly got shot and picked
Speaker 8: up his own shellcasing and then went to the hospital,
Speaker 8: Well really.
Speaker 7: Brought showcases him and his girlfriend went back to the
Speaker 7: scene the get showcases, and he actually did bring show
Speaker 7: cases and turn into investigators. But what a SAP's side
Speaker 7: is saying that he did have the prop gun, And
Speaker 7: I think they're having to say this because in the
Speaker 7: video I took a screenshot of the video. Remember you
Speaker 7: mentioned like there was like something kind of similar to
Speaker 7: a gun in the video. You do see something in
Speaker 7: his hand. I think he's just trying to explain what
Speaker 7: that was, and they're saying it was a prop gun,
Speaker 7: and he's saying that he only fired in the air,
Speaker 7: never directly pointed it at really because really began to
Speaker 7: follow him. That's, according to a SAP, was been a
Speaker 7: leshed by him.
Speaker 3: I got a headache ready. I wouldn't report the jury
Speaker 3: duty for this.
Speaker 17: Want to go to.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well work all right, well yeah, don't have time.
Speaker 17: For one more.
Speaker 8: Alright, Well, thank you for justss it was gonna happen
Speaker 8: now right. What they're gonna send all of us, let
Speaker 8: us for jerry duty.
Speaker 4: Can we do that because we people with the media.
Speaker 2: Yes, you gotta do jerry duty.
Speaker 13: That don't matter.
Speaker 17: Yep.
Speaker 3: Until they asked that question, is anybody and they have
Speaker 3: been convicted of a felony.
Speaker 7: I've never been convicted of a felony.
Speaker 2: Well that's your fault, okay, that's any of your family
Speaker 2: members on lawl endorsement.
Speaker 7: None of my family is law enforcement.
Speaker 3: Day yeah, I definitely got that. I'll pull up my
Speaker 3: gold card and everything.
Speaker 2: Do you work anybody that's closer with the felons?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 4: Oh, I work with felons. I what I know felons.
Speaker 4: I know a lot of them.
Speaker 3: All right, well that is just.
Speaker 17: Now.
Speaker 8: When we come back, we got Front Page News and
Speaker 8: then Bozem the Saint John will be joining us, you
Speaker 8: know how from Real.
Speaker 3: Housewives of Beverly Hillson gonna move. It's to Breakfast Club.
Speaker 2: Good Morning, wake up, Wait cool if you're liked into
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club Morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody's dj n V Jess, Hilarry's Charlemagne, the gud we
Speaker 8: are the Breakfast Club just is out sick, Laura La
Speaker 8: Rossa holding it down and let's get in some front
Speaker 8: Page News.
Speaker 2: Good morning, Morgan, Good.
Speaker 10: Morning, and the Laura la Rossa and Charlemage the God
Speaker 10: y'all all.
Speaker 3: Right, yes, ma'am peace Morgan.
Speaker 13: All right.
Speaker 9: You guys know, There's been a lot of mixed reaction
Speaker 9: around Trump's anti diversity, Equity and Inclusion executive order. Right
Speaker 9: many say it's a direct attack on the Civil Rights
Speaker 9: Tact of nineteen sixty four, the landmark law in the
Speaker 9: United States that outlaws discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex,
Speaker 9: and national origin. So there was a caller I believe
Speaker 9: that mentioned basically the black race. How's that DEI and
Speaker 9: also roping in lgbtqia. All of that ropes into diversity, Okay,
Speaker 9: So in a Black Information Network exclusive, I had the
Speaker 9: honor of attending a demanding diversity DEI roundtable yesterday at
Speaker 9: the National Press Club here in Washington, DC, and the
Speaker 9: conversation was the first of many steps in the response
Speaker 9: to President Trump's rollback of DEE and I I spoke
Speaker 9: exclusively with National Urban League President and CEO Mark Morial
Speaker 9: about how the executive order will impact specifically black people
Speaker 9: in the workforce. But I'm sure anybody could take away
Speaker 9: some advice from this, So let's hear from Mark Morial.
Speaker 20: His executive orders, in my own opinion, are unlawful as
Speaker 20: an inappropriate and illegal exercise of presidential power because they seek,
Speaker 20: in effect, to overturn the Civil Rights Act, to overturn
Speaker 20: provisions of the Constitution which.
Speaker 13: Cannot be accomplished by executive action.
Speaker 21: You are now saying, let's build a wall to keep
Speaker 21: black people, brown people, to keep Asians, Indigenous Americans, and
Speaker 21: many other Americans, women and others from having a fair
Speaker 21: opportunity to work in the federal government, to be promoted
Speaker 21: in the federal government, to play in leadership roles all
Speaker 21: across American life.
Speaker 13: So we must resist these executive orders.
Speaker 10: Any thoughts, how do you resist them?
Speaker 4: That's a great question, Like if it's because it doesn't
Speaker 4: that make it law? Like how do you just resist them?
Speaker 3: What did the resistance look like?
Speaker 9: And does it automatically just because he issues an executive
Speaker 9: order does not automatically make it law. And you basically
Speaker 9: fight fire with fire, you fight it with law, you
Speaker 9: bring up lawsuits. So the National Council of Negro Women,
Speaker 9: Chavon Arline Bradley, she spoke on the panel and she
Speaker 9: did provide some advice on what to do if you
Speaker 9: are impacted by these changes.
Speaker 10: Into your point, Lauren, how do you react? Let's hear
Speaker 10: from Shavon Arline Bradley.
Speaker 18: We do not want to underestimate, particularly the role of
Speaker 18: black women in this last election. In previous elections, we
Speaker 18: were over ninety two percent of an entire voting block.
Speaker 18: And what I'm telling people is you must connect your
Speaker 18: power to your civic engagement as well. As your consumer engagement.
Speaker 18: Black communities are a primary base in this country, not
Speaker 18: only for the economy, but also to the intellectual progress
Speaker 18: of this country. We have been so mired with false
Speaker 18: content that says there's no merit in our communities. Black
Speaker 18: women are the most qualified block of educated people in
Speaker 18: the United States of America, and black women's stand is
Speaker 18: not only overqualified, but ready to activate at all tables.
Speaker 9: Well, she basically went on to say that, you know,
Speaker 9: we should mobilize, and we should use those efforts in
Speaker 9: mobilization to have these type of conversations and figure out
Speaker 9: what our starting point is.
Speaker 10: What do you guys think.
Speaker 5: Well, in regards to the DEI thing, you know, I
Speaker 5: was just sitting there thinking, and you know why it
Speaker 5: was so easy for so many corporations to get rid
Speaker 5: of DEI because they wanted to. They never wanted to
Speaker 5: do it to begin with, Like Corporate d Corporate DEI
Speaker 5: was always some bs because it was just pr after
Speaker 5: George Floyd. Like you know, if you look at it,
Speaker 5: the number of black CEOs never increased. The pleasures these
Speaker 5: corporations made, the black orgs they didn't deliver on. It
Speaker 5: was always performative and That's why they couldn't wait to
Speaker 5: shut down a lot of these DEI initiatives as soon
Speaker 5: as Trump, you know, got back in the White House.
Speaker 5: And I just think that now is the time for
Speaker 5: you know, us as a people to what she's kind
Speaker 5: of speaking to us as a people. We got to
Speaker 5: collectively come up with things that are for us by us.
Speaker 3: Like you can't.
Speaker 5: You can't let a group of you know, white people
Speaker 5: in corporate America determine, you know, what what DEI or
Speaker 5: whatever is going to be in the future look like.
Speaker 9: So to your point, Revenoul Sharpton is actually calling for
Speaker 9: a boycott of companies who reversed their DEI programs. Sharpton
Speaker 9: added MLK rally in d C. He said that King
Speaker 9: gave his life, shed blood and died to open America
Speaker 9: America up to everyone, regardless of race or sexual preference. Now,
Speaker 9: he said on the National Action Network, plans to announce
Speaker 9: a boycott of at least two companies that have reverse
Speaker 9: DEI policies within ninety days.
Speaker 10: Now, if that's.
Speaker 9: Something that we can all come to an agreement on
Speaker 9: on what the actual two companies it are, do you
Speaker 9: think we will make an impact?
Speaker 5: I think we need to come to an agreement on
Speaker 5: what we want diversity, equity, and inclusion to be for us.
Speaker 5: I really don't think we can leave it in the
Speaker 5: hands of corporate America. It should have never been in
Speaker 5: the hands of corporate America to begin with.
Speaker 7: How we going to do that when we are not
Speaker 7: like our leadership numbers are off, our ownership numbers are off,
Speaker 7: like we are always having it.
Speaker 3: But they're making stuff.
Speaker 5: They're allegedly making stuff for us right in these companies,
Speaker 5: So we should be the ones that create it, regardless
Speaker 5: of what our numbers are in this company. Like ten
Speaker 5: white people in a room can't tell a company what's
Speaker 5: good for black people, or what's good for women, or
Speaker 5: what's good for They can't.
Speaker 7: But they do because those ten white people in the
Speaker 7: room are normally the executives. And unless you're empowered in
Speaker 7: that room, you've been here for x amount of years,
Speaker 7: you're the one black person in the room, and what
Speaker 7: you're gonna do through that? But this should be the
Speaker 7: other way. But you should be you know, that's my point.
Speaker 7: We should demand that like those executives. The executives should say, hey,
Speaker 7: how should this look? And we should be bringing it
Speaker 7: to them like they shouldn't be saying, Okay, it's our
Speaker 7: du program.
Speaker 3: Because once again, that's why it's so easy for them just.
Speaker 2: To take it away, because they never wanted to do
Speaker 2: it to begin they didn't want to do it.
Speaker 5: It was I'm not gonna say every company didn't want
Speaker 5: to for most companies who did it for p all purposes.
Speaker 10: We'll make sure y'all shop with the companies that stood
Speaker 10: on tent. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 9: Let's switch gears and talk about you know, these these
Speaker 9: J sixers again. House Speaker Mike Johnson. He says he
Speaker 9: believes in second chances. He made the comments defending President
Speaker 9: Trump's pardons of January sixth rioters that includes former Proud
Speaker 9: Boys leader Enrique's trio David Dempsey, who attacked police officers
Speaker 9: with pepper spray and flag poles, and Julian Carter, who
Speaker 9: pepper sprayed officers including Brian Sicknick, who died the day
Speaker 9: after January sixth after the riot. Now, House Speaker Johnson says,
Speaker 9: we need to move forward. Let's hear more from Speaker Johnson.
Speaker 22: The President has the pardon and computation authority. It's his decision.
Speaker 22: What was made clear all along is that peaceful protests
Speaker 22: and people who engage in that should never be punished.
Speaker 22: There was a weaponization of the Justice Department. There was
Speaker 22: a weaponization of the events. It was a It was
Speaker 22: a terrible time and a terrible chapter in America's history.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so I would encourage everyone to go watch The Sixth.
Speaker 9: It's on Amazon Prime. It's a documentary that follows January sixth,
Speaker 9: the United States capital attack, through the perspective of people
Speaker 9: who were actually there. And it does feature like real
Speaker 9: live this is not like reenactment type stuff. It features
Speaker 9: real footage.
Speaker 10: From that day. And yeah, it's on Amazon Prime, and
Speaker 10: so check it out.
Speaker 9: So just in case you don't know what happened on
Speaker 9: the sixth and what it looked like from the perspective
Speaker 9: of people who were inside the Capitol building, check out
Speaker 9: The Sixth on Amazon.
Speaker 2: I did see one of the people that he pardoned
Speaker 2: and got arrested again.
Speaker 9: I did, yeah, like a day after, which is yeah,

Speaker 9: that's yeah. They're being released out of a jail out

Speaker 8: We are the Breakfast Club Lawn LaRosa Philip in for Jess,
Speaker 8: and we got a special guest in the building.
Speaker 3: We have Bows of my Saint John. Welcome back, all
Speaker 3: thank you, all right now you feeling thank.
Speaker 17: You to see you.
Speaker 5: I'm sending you positive vinergy and love and like you
Speaker 5: just saw that you lost your house in the LA wildfire.
Speaker 3: That's right, and you said you found out on social media.
Speaker 4: Yes, on video.
Speaker 19: Yeah, somebody's just driving down pH and I was like, oh,
Speaker 19: that's my intersection.
Speaker 4: Oh there's no house.
Speaker 2: Did you get a chance to go back to see
Speaker 2: whatever was there to rubble if you can.
Speaker 3: I haven't.
Speaker 4: I haven't been able to be back yet.
Speaker 19: So it's like, you know, everybody's just waiting to see
Speaker 19: when we're allowed to go back and see what is left.
Speaker 19: Although you know there's nothing left, but I think there's
Speaker 19: still something about the grief process where you just need
Speaker 19: to see it, just to know yourself that it's totally gone.
Speaker 2: Did you lose pictures, passports, all like so many things?
Speaker 2: But when you evacuated, what were you able to grab
Speaker 2: if anything?
Speaker 4: Nothing? Well, first of all, I wasn't even in the country.
Speaker 4: I was in Zambia. Yeah, birthday right, yes, belated, thank
Speaker 4: you so much, Yeah, thank you. That's a lie.
Speaker 19: But it was so scary and overwhelming because you know,
Speaker 19: all you know is that the fires are coming, you
Speaker 19: don't know which direction they're going in, and the evacuations
Speaker 19: happen so quickly that you know, the people who are
Speaker 19: in their homes like really, you don't have time to think.
Speaker 19: I think we've all had that moment right where you've
Speaker 19: been like, oh, you know, it's like if there was
Speaker 19: something like who would you save or what would you take?
Speaker 19: And you make those theories, but in reality it doesn't
Speaker 19: work like that. There's this panic and for me, since
Speaker 19: I was so far away, there was really nothing I
Speaker 19: could do, and Who's I.
Speaker 4: Gonna send to go get myself? I was going to
Speaker 4: do that, you know, so you gotta let it burn.
Speaker 8: Did you see online which I thought was horrible and totasteful?
Speaker 8: People were saying, you know, when rich people are wealthy,
Speaker 8: people were losing their cribs. Good for them, they could
Speaker 8: get another one and all that, you know, And I'm thinking, like,
Speaker 8: it doesn't matter if you're wealthy, if you're not, you're
Speaker 8: losing things that care and me the most of you.
Speaker 8: So so how did you feel when you're seeing that?
Speaker 8: Like now you just lost your all your property, You
Speaker 8: lost all your things and then you see this online?
Speaker 4: Well it pisses me off because it's like who you
Speaker 4: think gave me the house?
Speaker 18: Right?
Speaker 19: You know, you think somebody just came here and gave
Speaker 19: me the house. You don't know that I worked for it.
Speaker 19: So what if you worked for it, you should just
Speaker 19: lose it and it should be all right. No, of
Speaker 19: course I'm sad. I cry I'm mad. It's like, yes,
Speaker 19: of course I'm in a better position because I I
Speaker 19: will be able to replace things, I will be able
Speaker 19: to rebuild.
Speaker 4: But who wants to do that?
Speaker 19: You know, we got enough going on. I don't want
Speaker 19: to have to do that too, Like can I get
Speaker 19: some peace? Just want some rest? And so it's like
Speaker 19: it makes me upset when people say.
Speaker 2: Stuff like that. You know, me and my wife were
Speaker 2: talking the other day when we see all we were like,
Speaker 2: you know, what would we grab?
Speaker 8: Like we try, we try to start setting things up
Speaker 8: in the house, and she's like, well, I got to
Speaker 8: go get the photo albums. I gotta get the pictures.
Speaker 8: I need the memories. And then she was like, but damn,
Speaker 8: what about the kids? First outfit?
Speaker 2: You want to be able to pass that on. And
Speaker 2: then you're thinking of what about this about the kids?
Speaker 3: You got thirteen of them?
Speaker 15: You know.
Speaker 4: How she dealing with.
Speaker 7: All of this because she's you know, she's young, and
Speaker 7: explaining it to her.
Speaker 4: She's fifteen, and I think it's I mean, it's a
Speaker 4: tough time.
Speaker 19: You know, you're already a teenager with all these emotions
Speaker 19: going on, you know, but she has friends who've also
Speaker 19: lost their houses, so at least she has some community
Speaker 19: that she can talk to about shared experience. But you know,
Speaker 19: how do you comfort a child who's like, well, what what?
Speaker 19: What if the fire comes again?
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying? And then what? So it's
Speaker 4: just a tough thing.
Speaker 3: How are you able to show up and do this though?
Speaker 3: Because I mean the show what's going?
Speaker 17: Right?
Speaker 3: You got your beauty brand eat by promoting the reality show,
Speaker 3: but then you got all of this heaviness on you.
Speaker 3: How are you able to even show up and just
Speaker 3: do what you're doing right now?
Speaker 4: Well, unfortunately, I'm not unused to grief.
Speaker 19: Yeah, you know, it's like I've faced a lot of
Speaker 19: it in my life. And one thing I know for
Speaker 19: sure is that the sun is going to come up
Speaker 19: the next day. People are gonna keep moving, and if
Speaker 19: you don't move with it, you'll get left behind, you know.
Speaker 19: And it's like, look, I think one of the things
Speaker 19: for me is that, yes, I do want to rebuild,
Speaker 19: Yes I do want another house. Yes I want more
Speaker 19: things in my life. And how am I gonna get it?
Speaker 19: Nobody's gonna give it to me. So I got to
Speaker 19: get up and go do the work myself.
Speaker 2: And what made you do Real Housewives at Beverly Hills.
Speaker 2: Why did you jump into that person?
Speaker 3: That's the first thing I said that I was.
Speaker 7: Like, I didn't think it was boredom. I just thought
Speaker 7: I was like, well, maybe this is going to like
Speaker 7: lean into like future business. So successful already, she's the
Speaker 7: girl for us girls, why would she go there with
Speaker 7: them people?
Speaker 4: Well, you know what's so funny.
Speaker 19: The idea of being on the show is actually really
Speaker 19: interesting to me because I do feel like there's no
Speaker 19: representation for women like me or like us.
Speaker 6: You know that.
Speaker 19: It's like, look, the corporate girlies who are ambitious, who
Speaker 19: are smart, who are loyal and will defend their friends
Speaker 19: and all of that.
Speaker 4: They don't exist in this space.
Speaker 19: No disrespect to anybody else, but they just don't. And
Speaker 19: so I'm like, well, I've already represented in so many
Speaker 19: different spaces, like why not do it here and also
Speaker 19: work on a bigger platform and also do things that
Speaker 19: I want to do in a different way, So why not?
Speaker 5: I guess we always look at you as an executive,
Speaker 5: like I want to run down some of your resumes.
Speaker 5: You a Global CMO and Netflix CMO of in Devil CEO,
Speaker 5: CBO of Uber, head of marketing of Apple Music and
Speaker 5: its head of Music and Entertainment marketing at PEPSI coo
Speaker 5: and I'm missing.
Speaker 4: Anything God's favorite baby.
Speaker 5: What would you say the key to all of that
Speaker 5: success has been and do you prefer being behind the
Speaker 5: scenes in front of the car?
Speaker 19: Yeah, that's an interesting I mean, I think the key
Speaker 19: to success always has been that I truly am myself.
Speaker 19: You know, I think that a lot of people like
Speaker 19: to say that. It's hard to do because when you're
Speaker 19: in these spaces, conformity is what wins.
Speaker 4: You know, You've got to just be like everybody else.
Speaker 4: You got to wear the gray suit like everybody else.
Speaker 19: But anybody who has seen my career or seen me
Speaker 19: walking around has known that, like, I am a black
Speaker 19: girl first and foremost, I represent exactly who I am.
Speaker 4: I don't try to pretend not to be.
Speaker 19: And so for me, it's like that has been my
Speaker 19: key to differentiation and what has made me successful. And
Speaker 19: so now moving out of that space is just another
Speaker 19: unexpected thing.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 19: It's like, look, you read my resume and it sounds
Speaker 19: great because people are like, oh my gosh, you did
Speaker 19: that and that that, But it's like if you were
Speaker 19: there with me day to day and were advising me,
Speaker 19: you'd see that people never cheered me on even when
Speaker 19: I made jumps, like people never did So when I
Speaker 19: left Apple to go to Uber, people were like why
Speaker 19: would you do that? Like why would you leave Apple?
Speaker 19: And at the time I went to Uber was like
Speaker 19: the company was going down in flames.
Speaker 2: They're like, why would you do that?
Speaker 19: And I's like, yeah, because first of all, y'all think
Speaker 19: that I'm getting these jobs as some sort of token,
Speaker 19: and so what I'm going to show you is actually
Speaker 19: I'm the greatest marketer of life and that a company
Speaker 19: that is on its knees, I'm going to help rebuild.
Speaker 19: And when I do that, you can't ask me another question.
Speaker 19: And then it's like, Okay, I moved from Uber to
Speaker 19: Endeavor and then Endeavor to Netflix and Netflix I joined
Speaker 19: right at the start of the pandemic, and people are like, oh,
Speaker 19: why would you do that? Like it's such a big company,
Speaker 19: like the spotlight is on it. If you fail, you're
Speaker 19: gonna fail big. And I'm like, yeah, but if I
Speaker 19: can do that, then you again, you can't ask me
Speaker 19: whether or not you can do this, right because now
Speaker 19: I've done it at four different companies.
Speaker 4: Who's gonna deny me?
Speaker 19: And then I was inducted into the Marketing Hall of
Speaker 19: Fame and I was like, yeah, okay, there, I'm done, retire,
Speaker 19: thank you.
Speaker 2: Franchise's shooting down.
Speaker 8: So I guess you're the hare to save the Real
Speaker 8: Housewives franchise because that franchise seemed like it was going down.
Speaker 19: Well, I think that it deserves a reinvention, you know.
Speaker 19: I think the relationships between women has been really shown
Speaker 19: poorly in ways that are not helpful. I'm not saying
Speaker 19: that there's not conflict. There's always conflict. There's conflict in
Speaker 19: the boardroom.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 19: The fights I had in the boardroom were far scarier
Speaker 19: than any fight have had on this Now.
Speaker 2: You know any of those women know?
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 2: Were you friends with them?
Speaker 4: I knew one of them?
Speaker 19: Yeah, at least oh sudden, because just socially got you know,
Speaker 19: we know each other that way.
Speaker 8: We got more with Bozem of Saint John when we
Speaker 8: come back. You know her from the Real Housewives of
Speaker 8: Beverly Hills.
Speaker 3: So don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning.
Speaker 8: Everybody is dj V just hlarious Charlamagne the God. We
Speaker 8: are the Breakfast Club. We're still kicking it with st John,
Speaker 8: you know, former market of executive for Netflix, Uber Apple,
Speaker 8: and you know she's on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
Speaker 8: right now.
Speaker 2: Charlamagne, you do a comfortable feels like?
Speaker 3: Both?
Speaker 4: Do I know what comfortable feels.
Speaker 3: Like if you have allowed yourself to get comfortable?
Speaker 4: I don't think in a workspace, No, that's what I mean.
Speaker 4: In a workpace, Yeah, I haven't.
Speaker 19: No, I don't know because there isn't one, you know,
Speaker 19: not because I haven't allowed myself to, but because that's
Speaker 19: just death.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 19: It's like, if you get too comfortable in the corporate spaces,
Speaker 19: somebody's gonna come get you, you know. And I don't
Speaker 19: think that there's any nirvana for black people, or especially
Speaker 19: black women in these spaces.
Speaker 4: And so I'm like, yeah, you always got to watch
Speaker 4: your back. So I don't think I've ever been comfortable.
Speaker 5: No, I'm glad you said that too, because I feel
Speaker 5: the same way. And I think that sometimes when you
Speaker 5: get too comfortable, you start to play it safe, and
Speaker 5: then that's when I think all of these industries start
Speaker 5: to die out because you've got people who are playing
Speaker 5: it safe, And my thing is like, they're probably gonna
Speaker 5: fire you if you play it safe, you might.
Speaker 2: As well take the risk innovative.
Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you get fired doing that, at least
Speaker 3: you feel good about yourself.
Speaker 19: Well, I've always said that, like, look, when I leave
Speaker 19: a space, I want you to know that I was there,
Speaker 19: Like I will never leave a space, and you were
Speaker 19: just like, oh, well she can hear at all.
Speaker 4: No, I got to leave some sort of print.
Speaker 19: And so it's like, how am I gonna do that
Speaker 19: if not representing for who I am in my community
Speaker 19: and all of those things. Now, look, I recognize the
Speaker 19: fact that it is a burden to be in these
Speaker 19: spaces and to be the one and people, you know,
Speaker 19: and something happens to black people, they turn to you
Speaker 19: and be like, oh, so, what do you think we
Speaker 19: should do? And yes, that is annoying, But at the
Speaker 19: same time, it's like, yeah, well maybe that's why I'm
Speaker 19: actually in this room to actually say the things that
Speaker 19: are hard to say and the things that they wouldn't
Speaker 19: know otherwise. And so for me, the comfortability aspect has
Speaker 19: never really been part of what I have tried to
Speaker 19: achieve because I know that that's not my destiny.
Speaker 4: That's not what I'm meant to do.
Speaker 7: So are you staying in the room to do that?
Speaker 7: Because people think you're leaving the show because of the
Speaker 7: post that you put up on this.
Speaker 2: Are you leaving?
Speaker 19: No, I'm not leaving the show. That's by something else.
Speaker 19: But then my house burned down so that I couldn't
Speaker 19: even talk about it.
Speaker 3: Oh so he was gonna quit something else? You had
Speaker 3: an announcement coming?
Speaker 19: Yes, No, I was thinking about like life changes and
Speaker 19: things I need to do, not about the show at all.
Speaker 17: Got you.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're proud of you as a community from what
Speaker 8: you've done, what you've accomplished. But you know, some people
Speaker 8: might not know the educational background and how you got there.
Speaker 8: So for people that's in your field, that's admire you
Speaker 8: and want to say, damn, I want to even go
Speaker 8: a notch of what she did.
Speaker 2: How did you do it right? What is the education right?
Speaker 19: Well, I mean I have my bachelor's degree. You know,
Speaker 19: I don't have a master's degree. I decided after my
Speaker 19: bachelor's that I wanted to jump right into work. I
Speaker 19: had the opportunity to go to Spike Lee's advertising agency,
Speaker 19: which is where I got my start. You know, I
Speaker 19: think the difference with how I did it is that
Speaker 19: I never thought that a job was too small, you know,
Speaker 19: for me to actually like.
Speaker 2: Say that again, because people and I don't think they
Speaker 2: heard from the back and did you get paid at first?
Speaker 2: You didn't get paid, It paid nothing.
Speaker 19: But you know, the jobs were never too small. Like
Speaker 19: I brought my full self to every single job. There
Speaker 19: was never a time where I was just like, you
Speaker 19: know what, when I get into that corner office, that's
Speaker 19: when I'm gonna do da da da da da.
Speaker 4: No I did that when I was an assistant.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 19: It's like you can ask Spike today and he will
Speaker 19: tell you that like I crushed. In fact, like when
Speaker 19: I was getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, he
Speaker 19: did an interview and he said he knew then that
Speaker 19: he would work for me one day. And that happened
Speaker 19: when I was at Netflix and he got an overall
Speaker 19: deal while I was the CMO, you know. And so
Speaker 19: for me, it's like, look, there's never been a moment
Speaker 19: in my career where I felt like I can't wait
Speaker 19: for the next thing. I brought everything to the job
Speaker 19: I had, and so even now as I sit here
Speaker 19: and doing this show and all that, I'm bringing everything
Speaker 19: everything I have, you know, because I want to be
Speaker 19: able to have the next opportunity and the next opportunity
Speaker 19: and the next opportunity.
Speaker 2: Do you consider yourself an alpha woman?
Speaker 3: Absolutely?
Speaker 8: Yes, So with being an alf woman, how is that
Speaker 8: in relationships? Do you feel like you have to submit
Speaker 8: a little bit? Do you feel like you have to
Speaker 8: fall back a little bit?
Speaker 3: That question to Laura? Huh, couldn't pass that question.
Speaker 8: I'll tell you the truth, no, because you know, when
Speaker 8: it comes to the Real House. You know, my wife
Speaker 8: watches the show, so she's a fan, and she she
Speaker 8: loves who you are. So she's always asked like, damn,
Speaker 8: I wonder how was that in a relationship?
Speaker 3: Because she's very.
Speaker 2: Strong and she had that question.
Speaker 8: She also wanted to know, did you feel like those
Speaker 8: friendships on Real Housewile of Beverly Hills are real friendship?
Speaker 19: So okay, So here's the thing. I can't diminish who
Speaker 19: I am. It's not possible. So yes, I want the
Speaker 19: soft girl life and the whole thing, and I can
Speaker 19: have that too, But at the end of the day,
Speaker 19: this is who I am. You know, I walk into
Speaker 19: a room and I demand things. It is my energy
Speaker 19: and my aura, and so the need for a partner
Speaker 19: who is not threatened by that or not afraid of
Speaker 19: that is absolutely necessary. So it's not necessarily about me
Speaker 19: dimming or getting quieter or being more subservient.
Speaker 12: Is that?
Speaker 4: Like, who's just going to match my energy?
Speaker 17: You know?
Speaker 4: My mom says every pot has a lid, and I
Speaker 4: feel like, now I found a lid. How did you
Speaker 4: know that, Kille?
Speaker 7: Because also too, not only is he coming and you're
Speaker 7: like already this super successful marketing Hall of famer, but
Speaker 7: now he's having to be introduced on Real House as
Speaker 7: a Beverly Hill right, got questions after your late husband
Speaker 7: as well, Yeah, how did you usher him into all that?
Speaker 4: And how did you know he was fit for that job?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 19: Well, also I have to add that, like I also
Speaker 19: respect him a great deal, you know, so that that
Speaker 19: has to be at the bottom of it, you know,
Speaker 19: which is like that's where we have to start. I
Speaker 19: have a tremendous amount of respect for him, and so
Speaker 19: the conversation even telling him that like, hey, look I'm
Speaker 19: I'm on the show, right, I would like you to
Speaker 19: be on the show. But let's talk about that whether
Speaker 19: or not you feel comfortable doing it. And when he
Speaker 19: said he did, and I was like, all right, look,
Speaker 19: you haven't been in the scrutiny like I have, so
Speaker 19: we're going to have to talk about what that looks
Speaker 19: like for you, you know. And so to me, it's
Speaker 19: like there's a responsibility that I have to him, you know,
Speaker 19: in being my partner, on being on the show, and
Speaker 19: therefore making sure.
Speaker 4: That he's also protected.
Speaker 19: So perhaps that's even where the alpha woman shows up,
Speaker 19: is that like I feel that, you know, I want
Speaker 19: to be protected by him, but I also feel a
Speaker 19: responsibility to protect him as well. And as for the
Speaker 19: relationships on the show, look, I'm the first one to
Speaker 19: tell you that I really thought that these conversations were
Speaker 19: played up, you know. I thought it was just make
Speaker 19: it up. You know, people be like, oh, she talked
Speaker 19: about you. I was shocked to find out that the
Speaker 19: relationships are really real. So people get upset about real things,
Speaker 19: you know, and you really don't know. It's just like life,
Speaker 19: Like you don't know if somebody's talking about you behind
Speaker 19: your back.
Speaker 4: You do not know that, and so you're making.
Speaker 19: Assumptions based on the facts that are given to you,
Speaker 19: so you might be really nice to somebody, but yet
Speaker 19: she was over here talking about whatever it is that.
Speaker 4: She want to talk about you, and you didn't even know.
Speaker 19: And so you see it on screen later and people
Speaker 19: will be like, oh, she should have known she was
Speaker 19: fake and this and that.
Speaker 4: You're just like, how would you know that? You'd have
Speaker 4: to be psychic you would have known.
Speaker 19: And so I'm I am continuously learning about the relationships
Speaker 19: between the women and myself and then also how it
Speaker 19: appears on camera. Reunions are going to be very interesting.
Speaker 2: That's all I know.
Speaker 3: Could you have a house husband, Like if it was
Speaker 3: just a guy who.
Speaker 19: I don't think No, I don't believe so. Yeah, I
Speaker 19: don't think so. I don't think so it was a
Speaker 19: nice guy.
Speaker 3: Look good, he putting it down, he cooks, Yeah, keeps everything.
Speaker 19: I think it's it's probably more about like mindset and
Speaker 19: ambition than anything else, you know. I'm just I'm way
Speaker 19: too ambitious, I think to have somebody who would not
Speaker 19: want to also be ambitious.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I also noticed on the show they changed a lot
Speaker 2: on the show, and I watched the show with my wife.
Speaker 3: That's little day. But I noticed on the show.
Speaker 8: When I do watch it, I love seeing them women
Speaker 8: bow down to you a little bit, like they tiptoe
Speaker 8: around you, and you know, like you could tell that
Speaker 8: they look for your approval.
Speaker 2: Do you notice that?
Speaker 3: Because it's a shift and it's a change.
Speaker 19: I do think it's a shift because I'm not like them,
Speaker 19: and so I think anytime somebody new or like a
Speaker 19: new situation presents itself, they're also going to be a
Speaker 19: little careful, you know, because you just don't know. You
Speaker 19: got to test the water right now. If I come
Speaker 19: back for second season, I think that would be a
Speaker 19: different situation because now they know they know you right right,
Speaker 19: and they're like, oh okay, so she's got her opinions,
Speaker 19: she can stand up for herself, and they'll have a
Speaker 19: different way to interact with me.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: How we got more with Bozuma Saint John.
Speaker 8: It's the break Fist Club, Good Morning, everybody is dj
Speaker 8: n V Jess Hilarious, Charlamage, the God We are to
Speaker 8: Breakfast Club. Lon La Rosa is feeling in for jests
Speaker 8: and we're still kicking it with Boze of Us Saint John.
Speaker 8: You know how from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Charlomagne,
Speaker 8: how did putting.
Speaker 5: Out your book The Urgent Life of My story of love,
Speaker 5: loss and supply? But how did that being vulnerable in
Speaker 5: that book prepare you to be vulnerable on reality?
Speaker 4: Oh that's a great question.
Speaker 19: It was so hard to write my memoir. I think
Speaker 19: what happens is that you know that I was saying,
Speaker 19: with grief, you know, you just want to get it
Speaker 19: behind you. You just you want to feel better, you
Speaker 19: want to feel quote unquote normal. And what happens is
Speaker 19: that we don't realize that you put away the sadness
Speaker 19: and the fear and the anger and all those things,
Speaker 19: which also put away the happiness and the joy and
Speaker 19: all the good things that were a part of that,
Speaker 19: because your brain doesn't know how to separate any of
Speaker 19: those things. And so in writing the book, I had
Speaker 19: to go get all of that stuff back. No, I
Speaker 19: had to be really honest about how I was feeling
Speaker 19: in a situation or what was my true feelings about
Speaker 19: the thing, in order to write an honest book. And
Speaker 19: I didn't feel like anyone would connect with it if
Speaker 19: I was just writing fiction. And that absolutely prepared me
Speaker 19: for this particular role because I don't have the need
Speaker 19: to hold back from my personal life. You know, so
Speaker 19: much of my life has been about my professional pursuits,
Speaker 19: and so in writing the book, I was able to
Speaker 19: talk about love. I was able to talk about you know,
Speaker 19: things that made me cry and you know, things that
Speaker 19: hurt me. And so now it's like I can do
Speaker 19: that more comfortably because I've already done it by writing it.
Speaker 4: How does it feel with you and Garcel?
Speaker 7: Like you guys are like the two black women on
Speaker 7: the show, right, and you already talked about like feeling
Speaker 7: like you're there to say certain things that people can't say,
Speaker 7: whatever the case may be. Does it make you feel
Speaker 7: like a token? You don't give the energy that you
Speaker 7: would just be okay with that, But does it make
Speaker 7: you feel like that? Do you ever have to be
Speaker 7: like to producers like now I'm not doing it all happening.
Speaker 3: Yes, all the time.
Speaker 19: Well, the thing is that, like I don't necessarily have
Speaker 19: to tell producers that I'm not going to do whatever
Speaker 19: it is that because they're not really orcing anything, you know,
Speaker 19: but I know that I'm not doing the thing that
Speaker 19: perhaps would be expected of me to do. You know,
Speaker 19: it's like I often said that, you know, I wasn't
Speaker 19: going to come down into the mud.
Speaker 7: Do you feel the need to, like do you and Garcel,
Speaker 7: I don't know what your relationship is off camera? Yeah,
Speaker 7: but is that like it's a good relationship, okay? Do
Speaker 7: you feel the need to defend her when certain things
Speaker 7: happen and she like, I know she was going through
Speaker 7: stuff where like they were attacking like her, I think
Speaker 7: it was her son and her kid right.
Speaker 4: Right, right, right now.
Speaker 19: I've already said I was at it publicly that like
Speaker 19: if somebody had said something about my child, I don't
Speaker 19: know that we'd be we'd be friends today, you know.
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't know that I can get
Speaker 4: over that.
Speaker 19: And I have yet to talk to Garcel about how
Speaker 19: she got over that, you know, just because I just
Speaker 19: felt that, like it just crossed such a line.
Speaker 4: And perhaps she is, you know, more evolved than I am.
Speaker 3: Maybe she has gotten over it, she's waiting on her shot.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe she wait.
Speaker 19: I don't know that's a good point, but I do
Speaker 19: think that, you know, for her and I I hope
Speaker 19: that what people are seeing is that there's a possibility
Speaker 19: to be more than one type of black woman, You
Speaker 19: know that, like ourselves, an accomplished actress who has her
Speaker 19: own life and her own challenges and issues, and the
Speaker 19: conflicts that she's had with the women don't necessarily have
Speaker 19: to be my conflicts.
Speaker 2: Because I don't.
Speaker 19: I don't have those conflicts with them, you know, I
Speaker 19: have I probably have my own. And so why is
Speaker 19: it that we can only have one?
Speaker 17: Like?
Speaker 19: I really hate the comments with people are like, oh, okay,
Speaker 19: boss here knock ourselves can go, And I'm like.
Speaker 4: Why why can't win a white girls there?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 19: Why has it got to be her? Why are we
Speaker 19: pitting she and I against each other?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 19: So I'm like, no, there, there can be more of
Speaker 19: us in these spaces without having to be Oh, there's
Speaker 19: only one type and that's it.
Speaker 7: You had talked about your using a platform for stuff
Speaker 7: like being able to talk about like fireboys and and
Speaker 7: I thought it was interesting because you mentioned that you
Speaker 7: weren't in like a dire situation where it's like you're
Speaker 7: in pain. You had to you're just planning because you
Speaker 7: want to have another kid potentially, right, Yeah, how you
Speaker 7: feeling like today?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 4: I feel really good today.
Speaker 19: I'm just glad that I was able to talk about
Speaker 19: that publicly because you know, I don't know why it
Speaker 19: is that when we talk about reproductive health, especially for
Speaker 19: black women, it's like this point of shame. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 19: it's like I don't know how many people sent me
Speaker 19: messages commented on the post, like friends who were texting
Speaker 19: me and being like, girl, I went through that last year.
Speaker 4: I'm like, why did I not know that?
Speaker 19: You know, It's like there's some strange shame that's associated
Speaker 19: with it, as if like we're not good enough, or
Speaker 19: that we're not whole women because you have fibroids and
Speaker 19: you've got to get that removed in order.
Speaker 4: To reproduce at all.
Speaker 19: And so I'm just like, wait, but no, this is
Speaker 19: a health issue, you know, and it's like if we
Speaker 19: take care of that, we take care of ourselves, we
Speaker 19: will be in better shape.
Speaker 4: And I don't know that there's any benefit to hiding
Speaker 4: any of that.
Speaker 7: I think you also brought up a good conversation too,
Speaker 7: because one of the things you said was like, I'm
Speaker 7: not getting any younger, so I want to make these plans.
Speaker 4: Now, that's right.
Speaker 7: Have you been having conversations with those same people about,
Speaker 7: you know, just you're not getting younger, but you do
Speaker 7: want to have another camera.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that looks like for you and how you're
Speaker 4: planning for that.
Speaker 19: Yeah, I mean, Killie and I of course talked about it,
Speaker 19: you know, my daughter and I talk about it because well, they're.
Speaker 4: The two people who be impacted.
Speaker 19: I don't really care about anybody else's opinions, but for me,
Speaker 19: it was really important to talk about the risks because
Speaker 19: I did not have easy pregnancies in the past, and
Speaker 19: so I wanted to make sure that I am in
Speaker 19: the healthiest place that I can be. And again, thank
Speaker 19: God that I'm in a position to have insurance and
Speaker 19: you know, the access to healthcare, and we know what
Speaker 19: black maternal health looks like.
Speaker 4: It is dire. Ye know, it's like we're dying at
Speaker 4: a rate faster than everybody. So for me, it's like, look,
Speaker 4: I wanted to.
Speaker 19: Be able to use the show to talk about health,
Speaker 19: to talk about my reproductive health. And then also I
Speaker 19: do think that there's a conversation to be had for
Speaker 19: the corporate girls who've waited a long time to have
Speaker 19: their babies get babies fifteen Yeah, right, exactly, you start
Speaker 19: all over again, right now.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would, and I think that there's a lot
Speaker 4: of women who are doing that.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 19: It's like, I like, I look at the majority of
Speaker 19: my friends who are in their mid forties, and a
Speaker 19: lot of them don't have children yet. Some of them
Speaker 19: haven't gotten married yet either because they were focused on
Speaker 19: their careers and didn't, you know, make that commitment, or
Speaker 19: they didn't find partners who could manage their alphinus or
Speaker 19: whatever the reason is. But who want families. And so
Speaker 19: I'm like, again, there is no shame in that. It's
Speaker 19: like you can say it out loud that I want
Speaker 19: a baby or I want a family and then take
Speaker 19: the steps to get it. I just think we should
Speaker 19: remove the shame from it. So, yeah, I'm gonna be
Speaker 19: an old ass mom, I'm gonna do it.
Speaker 7: I was gonna ask you mentioned marriage, Yeah, and now
Speaker 7: know that you know you've been married before. Now you
Speaker 7: and Kelly together, it seems like I saw y'all pictures
Speaker 7: of your way.
Speaker 4: Is that going to be? Is that a conversation for y'all? Right, Yes,
Speaker 4: it is a conversation.
Speaker 19: Well, because I want to have a family in a
Speaker 19: nuclear unit, so I want to be married and then
Speaker 19: have babies.
Speaker 4: So we got to see a engagement on the show
Speaker 4: Girl talk to him. Question, that's been great than we
Speaker 4: appreciate us?
Speaker 17: Boss?
Speaker 19: Oh yes, yes, yes, well so yes, like or not.
Speaker 19: My hair has always been a topic of conversation in
Speaker 19: my corporate career. I mean it's like when I did
Speaker 19: the Apple keynote, I was the first black person to
Speaker 19: present you know, technology on that stage, and half of
Speaker 19: the tweets that night were about my hair.
Speaker 4: And I have always been an advocate.
Speaker 19: Of being able to use the laws and you know,
Speaker 19: the rules that have been written, whether it's the Crown
Speaker 19: Act or anything else which allows for you to be
Speaker 19: fired or like you know, suspended from school if your
Speaker 19: hair isn't straight or whatever, like those rules still exist
Speaker 19: on the books and figure out like, well, how can
Speaker 19: I celebrate that? How can I, you know, encourage us?
Speaker 19: How can I make sure that like, yeah, if I
Speaker 19: want to wear my hair any kind of way I want,
Speaker 19: let me do it the way I want to do it.
Speaker 19: And when I looked at the hair extension industry, eighty
Speaker 19: percent of the consumer base as black women or.
Speaker 4: Women of color.
Speaker 19: Yet we don't have any ownership in manufacturing and distribution
Speaker 19: and innovation.
Speaker 4: So I'm like, why is a lace white? Like I
Speaker 4: could see your lace, yes, because it's white, you.
Speaker 17: Know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I'm like why.
Speaker 19: And look, you could go on YouTube or google it
Speaker 19: and you'll find fourteen million videos of black women kitchen
Speaker 19: chemists who are out here telling you how to lay
Speaker 19: your lace and make the color like you.
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, why is that?
Speaker 19: So I went to China by myself and to the
Speaker 19: biggest hair show in the world and just walked around
Speaker 19: and ask questions. And then when I realized that, like,
Speaker 19: oh wait, hold on, this is actually an industry that's
Speaker 19: making a lot of money, but we're not anywhere in
Speaker 19: the seats, I was like, well, I'm going to do
Speaker 19: it myself. I'm going to get in there. So I
Speaker 19: built a factory in Ghana, I started manufacturing and then
Speaker 19: now I'm selling it.

Speaker 5: if you're gonna talk money, don't talk about you know,
Speaker 5: what's your cars and what you you know buy you know, superficiously.
Speaker 3: What are you actually doing for the community with that money?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I like that kind of talk. We need to have
Speaker 3: more of that type of flex.
Speaker 4: Well, it did get to there, and we're gonna get
Speaker 4: to that.
Speaker 7: So then Levean went off about basically bow Wow not
Speaker 7: even being bigger than him, not being from ah.
Speaker 4: You take a listen to that.
Speaker 25: No, you're from Atlanta. You've been wrapping in Atlanta literally
Speaker 25: since I've been hearing your music. I don't even even
Speaker 25: know you were from Columbus. Now, look, it's crazy Ohio
Speaker 25: state with a national championship.
Speaker 13: But everybody wanted to time to board April from the city.
Speaker 13: You know you not Let's say Columbus a Columbus. Let's
Speaker 13: say for the time being, for the tickets or your
Speaker 13: big Columbus will accept this guy. Do you think you're
Speaker 13: bigger than me? Bro? Cause you meet a reality check?
Speaker 17: Real.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you had a nice little rap career, but obviously
Speaker 13: that's up in the air at gone rap career done.
Speaker 13: We know that I'm probably bigger rapper to you right now.
Speaker 7: Why would be playing with It's like the minute you
Speaker 7: try to come for a boy got play with his
Speaker 7: music and his rap career.
Speaker 4: He had a big career. He didn't have a little career,
Speaker 4: was a big deal. That's Nola and can we please
Speaker 4: also too?
Speaker 7: I feel like if you didn't know that bow Wow
Speaker 7: was from Ohio because he said in almost every song
Speaker 7: at one point, that's your fault.
Speaker 12: Not his.
Speaker 4: That's like good listen.
Speaker 8: I understand why he said that because a lot of
Speaker 8: people thought bow Wows from Atlanta, even though if you
Speaker 8: follow Bao, he does say Columbus, but he also Atlanta too.
Speaker 7: Nobody he does not Atlanta because it's so that. But
Speaker 7: who thought bow I was from not from Ohio? He
Speaker 7: always said he was from Ohio.
Speaker 3: I always thought was from Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 2: They always said Columbus, but he reaped Atlanta to But
Speaker 2: like people just love to.
Speaker 4: Play with him and they know what the trigger him too.
Speaker 4: It's always a little rap career. You not from here.
Speaker 7: This is the first time, though, I think I've ever
Speaker 7: heard somebody tell about he's not from Ohio.
Speaker 8: Bow I repped both because he was on growing up Atlanta.
Speaker 8: Like bow Wow is known for Columbus and he's known
Speaker 8: from Atlanta.
Speaker 7: I don't like it when people if y'all can't tell
Speaker 7: them about It led to a great conversation though, because
Speaker 7: bow Wow and Le'Veon Bell both posted a screenshot of
Speaker 7: them on FaceTime and it's sparked conversation between the two.
Speaker 7: The caption of this of the face of the screenshot says,
Speaker 7: had a great talk. It's amazing what a little communication
Speaker 7: can do. Big plans in the future to bring to
Speaker 7: the city together, nothing but respect.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I like.
Speaker 5: That's why I like the conversation le've Yon Bell was happening,
Speaker 5: Like what are you doing for the community?
Speaker 3: Like what have you done? That's what I like to hear.
Speaker 8: You know, some Simone Boles is from Columbus, Oia. I
Speaker 8: didn't know that Lotto was born in Columbus, Oia.
Speaker 5: From Columbus and money y'all figure some on. That's not
Speaker 5: like Okay, I know I said less West than the
Speaker 5: NISI York. That's the true money wise, but ain't none
Speaker 5: of y'all biggest the more boss.
Speaker 3: Just want y'all to know that.
Speaker 2: Who knew that?
Speaker 10: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: I didn't know that either.
Speaker 3: About that?
Speaker 2: Look it up my website.
Speaker 3: I don't even know where you're from, so I should
Speaker 3: ask you. You won't claim Dominican for nothing?
Speaker 7: I am black ill we said black people don't do

Speaker 4: Oh oh yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7: M I don't know know she was from there, but
Speaker 7: shout out to Columbus, Ohio.
Speaker 3: Grew up in Texas stuff.
Speaker 7: I think it's if you didn't like middle school high school.
Speaker 7: I don't know if you really count as from somewhere.
Speaker 7: Going back to my original point, the biggest, bigger, don't
Speaker 7: play with bowe Wow, Okay.
Speaker 2: Don't play with Big bow Weezy respect, we respect by numbers,
Speaker 2: we do all right, got something else he done?
Speaker 5: Old enough to remember watching Bowe Wow on our Senio

Speaker 7: it was something. But we had the airbrush shirts. I
Speaker 7: want my cousins.
Speaker 3: I cry.
Speaker 7: It was a whole day.
Speaker 5: But just for the record, stop arguing about hoods that
Speaker 5: you know you don't own no property in. Stop arguing
Speaker 5: about hoods that you don't invest no money.
Speaker 4: In property or nothing.
Speaker 3: I'm not saying they don't.
Speaker 2: That's the facts, all right. Well, Charloamann were giving a dunkey.
Speaker 3: Two for after the hour. We need somebody to come
Speaker 3: to the front of the congregation.
Speaker 5: His name is Nicholas Sabo, and not just him, his wife,
Speaker 5: Because ladies y'all can learn something from this donkey of today.
Speaker 5: And that's something is if you're going to order something
Speaker 5: off goddamn uber eats an instacart, you need to let.
Speaker 3: The whole house know before somebody gets shot. We'll discuss.
Speaker 3: I'm with you.
Speaker 2: It's the breakfast club.
Speaker 3: Good morning, you're checking out the breakfast club. Some donkey
Speaker 3: days just saw himself, Charlotte Man ready for.
Speaker 5: I never heard them donkey other day, say it again, Charlama,
Speaker 5: I'm a donkey, you are.
Speaker 2: Everything and Searloe Man, the same is true.
Speaker 3: Yes, Donky Today for Thursday, January twenty third goes to
Speaker 3: a forty three year old man named Nicholas Sabo, but
Speaker 3: his wife has to share some of this he haul
Speaker 3: with him too, because his wife put him in a
Speaker 3: position that many men get put in. And I'll explain
Speaker 3: after I tell you what happened to see, Nicholas was
Speaker 3: arrested on a charge of recklessly endangering another person because
Speaker 3: he shot somebody on his property. Now you know, I'm
Speaker 3: two a all day, okay to a all day.
Speaker 5: I believe a black man owning a legal firearm in
Speaker 5: this country is a former self care Okay. I think
Speaker 5: that every family should own at least two firearms. Then
Speaker 5: everyone in the house, man, woman and child who is
Speaker 5: old enough should know.
Speaker 3: How to shoot. Take your family to the range, because hey,
Speaker 3: you'd never know.
Speaker 5: So with that said, why is Nicholas and his wife
Speaker 5: getting the biggest sea hall because Nicholas shot someone on
Speaker 5: his property.
Speaker 3: Well, let's go to WNP ABC sixteen for the report.
Speaker 11: Police a man face his charges after allegedly shooting a
Speaker 11: delivery driver in Lakwana County. Please say, Nicholas Sabo shot
Speaker 11: at a man delivering groceries to his home in Newton
Speaker 11: Township on Saturday. Investigators say the driver was at the
Speaker 11: correct address and Sabo's wife placed the order. The driver
Speaker 11: was taken to the hospital is expected to be okay.
Speaker 11: Sabo is charged with reckless endangerment.
Speaker 5: Only in America can delivering a bag of kale turn
Speaker 5: into an action movie standoff? Okay, drop the Tropicana orange
Speaker 5: juice or else. Listen to me, ladies, Uh, this is
Speaker 5: the white's fault. When you order from UBI, each, Door Dash, Instacart,
Speaker 5: whatever it is, always tell your husband, Okay, my brothers.
Speaker 5: I don't know how y'all anxiety is set up, but
Speaker 5: I got everything at my house. Door Bird Security cameras,
Speaker 5: all types of very sensitive alarm systems. I got the
Speaker 5: whole property under surveilance. And it's bad enough, ladies, that
Speaker 5: you all use Amazon every damn day. Between Amazon FedEx ups,
Speaker 5: there is always some scranger on the property.
Speaker 3: But the difference between them they usually.
Speaker 5: Be in a truck, so you know what it is
Speaker 5: when you're ordering food and groceries, they come in non
Speaker 5: descript cars.
Speaker 3: You looking at the camera like who is that?
Speaker 5: How many times if you turned to your wife and
Speaker 5: kids said turn to your wife kids and said order
Speaker 5: something all the time, all the damn time, okay, and
Speaker 5: until you hear him say yes, then you just gotta
Speaker 5: assume the OPS is on your property.
Speaker 3: Okay. That's why I can understand what Nicholas said. What
Speaker 3: was thinking, ladies, kids?
Speaker 5: When you order food on any of these abstra groceries, uh,
Speaker 5: you know, please tell the man in the house.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: But this is where the wife really gets the brunt
Speaker 5: of this. He heard a wife is the one who
Speaker 5: ordered the groceries. But the wife is also the one
Speaker 5: who received the alert from the home security camera that
Speaker 5: movement had been detected near the garage and she thought
Speaker 5: someone was trying to break into a utility trailer on
Speaker 5: their property. Now listen, I'm glad that Nicholas has a
Speaker 5: partner that's just as paranoid as him. But come on,
Speaker 5: miss lady, you can't forget that you ordered insta cart
Speaker 5: at a time like this. Okay, do you not understand
Speaker 5: everyone is on edge and everyone at this moment is
Speaker 5: preset to wish your mother for wood? Okay, everybody is
Speaker 5: in wishing mother for wood mold.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: We are in a constant state of fight, flight or fire,
Speaker 5: ah in these United States of anxiety, and Nicholas chose
Speaker 5: the fire because you gotta understand. When your alarm goes
Speaker 5: off and then someone in your house, especially your wife,
Speaker 5: says she thinks someone is trying to break into something.
Speaker 5: When you go to grab your pistol and go outside,
Speaker 5: you're already thinking it show hime.
Speaker 3: Okay, you not there to negotiate.
Speaker 5: With this supposed intruder because you already believe they up
Speaker 5: to no good and you don't know what their intentions are.
Speaker 3: Yes, you can be so paranoid.
Speaker 5: Your anxiety can get the best of you so much
Speaker 5: that you can turn two day shipping into a two
Speaker 5: minute shooting all right. Poor Instacot driver just came over
Speaker 5: to deliver packages and almost ended up a pack all
Speaker 5: because he was trying to figure out if the eggs
Speaker 5: go on the punch or the front steps.
Speaker 3: There was no verbal confrontation or nothing, just fire shot
Speaker 3: him in the lake. Okay.
Speaker 5: The wife ordered the groceries, the husband ordered the chaos,
Speaker 5: all because it was poor communication on the delivery instructions.
Speaker 5: You have to read the fine print when you're ordering things. Okay,
Speaker 5: you can give people special instructions on where to take
Speaker 5: and leave things. Poor guy just trying to make an
Speaker 5: honest living delivering Instacart and get shot right. He ran
Speaker 5: back to this vehicle where his wife and child was
Speaker 5: waiting for him. He drove off and called down one one.
Speaker 5: That man could have been murdered. He could have woke
Speaker 5: up dead somewhere to day, simply because of miscommunication. And
Speaker 5: Nicholas has been charged with recklessly endangering another person and
Speaker 5: he could face more charges, all because his wife simply forgot.
Speaker 5: Maybe we need security alerts that remind us, like movement
Speaker 5: detected danger or just dinner. What do you even say
Speaker 5: to your husband after this?
Speaker 3: Please give Nicholas sayble and his wife, the sweet sounds
Speaker 3: of the Hamiltons.
Speaker 2: Oh no, you are the dog gee of the day,
Speaker 2: the dog gee.
Speaker 3: All the day.
Speaker 13: Ye.
Speaker 5: If you thought the price of groceries was high, wait
Speaker 5: till you see that bell. And wait do you see
Speaker 5: how much it cost to pay for a lawyer? All
Speaker 5: because your wife simply didn't tell you.
Speaker 3: That she ordered groceries. It's messed up, but I understand.
Speaker 4: I'm glad the guy is Okay, though.
Speaker 3: I messed up, but it's understanding.
Speaker 8: But that's that's the first process at my house is
Speaker 8: when I hear something I had. Everybody did y'all order food?
Speaker 8: They should tell your person all eat all that, and
Speaker 8: then when they say no, then I can know I
Speaker 8: can get action. Nobody who is your uber eats here? Okay,
Speaker 8: that's your guy? Like yeah, because I'm nervous.
Speaker 7: Nobody got hurt through that one liner that you said.
Speaker 7: It would have been good. You said, the wife ordered
Speaker 7: the groceries, the husband ordered the chaos. If nobody got hurt,
Speaker 7: that would have been like a that was cute, the
Speaker 7: chaos and somebody hurt. I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: If nobody got hurt, it just would have been cute.
Speaker 3: It's like I think it was cute. It ghos, he
Speaker 3: didn't die.
Speaker 4: Okay, something about the my man never mind that.
Speaker 3: Turns you on.
Speaker 4: I was like, I wrote that down.
Speaker 3: Don't get your gun. Oh he got a gun?
Speaker 15: Girl?
Speaker 4: No, Oh my god.
Speaker 3: He just shot the instacart driver.
Speaker 8: Because, like you said, they'll be coming to non descriptive
Speaker 8: cars all dark. Now that's right, all right, Well thank
Speaker 8: you for that, donkey.
Speaker 5: What the husband was thinking though, when you went outside
Speaker 5: and he just saw this person with a handful of groceries,
Speaker 5: you still got to shoot.
Speaker 2: Right, because yeah, but that's nothing. He had groceries.
Speaker 7: But you never know because people be pulling up with
Speaker 7: deliveries and it pushed their way into your house.
Speaker 4: I never heard them saying that.
Speaker 5: Probably looks strange if your wife is like, you think
Speaker 5: somebody trying to break in the utility trailers and you
Speaker 5: outside and he's standing there with avocados and spring water
Speaker 5: and you're like.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, what the hell.
Speaker 4: Avocados in spring water?
Speaker 7: I'm just saying Mountain Valley. Maybe I'm glad he's okay, though, Now.
Speaker 2: If he had a plan, you would have shot right.
Speaker 3: Oh, you're just nasty.
Speaker 4: Silence.
Speaker 2: If you saw him with an egg plant, you want
Speaker 2: to man, can I can I have it?
Speaker 3: I'll eat it raw? What you would even chop it
Speaker 3: up for nothing? When we come back, definitely Rose, when
Speaker 3: we come back. He's running for governor of New Jersey.
Speaker 3: Is nasty, Okay, so my best egg plan eater right there.

Speaker 14: we have a very short window. I don't think we
Speaker 14: get an opportunity to do this anymore. There's a crowded feel.
Speaker 14: It's an opportunity for African American kid from the city
Speaker 14: of nork Uh to make New Jersey live up to
Speaker 14: its democratic values, to build a broad based coalition, to
Speaker 14: really respond to the issues we deal with in the
Speaker 14: city every day that I think a state wide issues.
Speaker 14: This was a housing, unemployment, safety, uh, the affordability of
Speaker 14: the state being too expensive for most folks in New Jersey.
Speaker 14: We deal with those things. Every problem New Jersey got.
Speaker 14: We got it twice in Newark. But whatever we grappling
Speaker 14: with the state is doing it. And if we're mitigating
Speaker 14: those problems in Newark, we can certainly do it in
Speaker 14: the state. And if the state is better, Newark is better.
Speaker 3: So what are some things you'll be able to do
Speaker 3: as governor that you aren't right now capable of doing?
Speaker 9: Is myth?
Speaker 14: Help build more affordable housing across the state of New Jersey,
Speaker 14: which makes it easier for folks like folks in Newark
Speaker 14: who are trying to get in housing. So we started
Speaker 14: twenty percent affordability and all development in the city. The
Speaker 14: state followed suit and did the same thing. So now
Speaker 14: there's not one hundred people on the waiting list, it's
Speaker 14: five thousand people on the waiting list because New Jersey
Speaker 14: is in it. And now we can't discriminate against where
Speaker 14: you come from across the state, which means we need
Speaker 14: more affordable housing in a state we need workforce housing.
Speaker 14: We can do that, right, we can help reduce the violence,
Speaker 14: not just in Newark, but also Camden and Trenton, right
Speaker 14: in Jersey City and places like that. To begin to
Speaker 14: create an environment in the city or in the state
Speaker 14: that is conducive to business, conducive to grow, helping families.
Speaker 13: Grow and be safe.
Speaker 14: We can do that and bring more business to the
Speaker 14: state of New Jersey. We've brought them to Newark, so
Speaker 14: we could bring them to the state. You know, I
Speaker 14: think we uniquely qualified. Most of these other folks that
Speaker 14: are running have never done, have no receipts of doing
Speaker 14: anything except for being in the Democratic Party. To them,
Speaker 14: I mean that gives them the privilege. The party picks
Speaker 14: them and puts them in front of people and say
Speaker 14: this is who you're supposed to vote for.
Speaker 13: I'm tired of that.
Speaker 17: You know.
Speaker 13: We got to mix it up.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I love Newark, Man, and you know, you've done
Speaker 5: some amazing things in Newark, Man Broka.
Speaker 2: One thing I want to talk about is Newark. They
Speaker 2: experienced a sixty.
Speaker 5: Percent decrease in the violent crime right, and a lot
Speaker 5: of times, you know, they say that in cities, but
Speaker 5: you don't see it in Newark compared to where Newark was,
Speaker 5: you know, a decade ago, you can see that Newark is.
Speaker 3: You know, it's a lot safer than it was. Not
Speaker 3: saying it's perfect, but it's a lot safer than it was.
Speaker 3: How did you do that?
Speaker 14: Well, we created an ecosystem officer violence prevention, trump Recovery,
Speaker 14: brick city peace collectives. In that essence, we brought in
Speaker 14: community based organizations to partner with the police, which the
Speaker 14: police started doing really intelligence based policing, but we bought
Speaker 14: bruckers on to kind of identify with crime, what's happening that,
Speaker 14: with violence, what was happening that. For example, they told
Speaker 14: us all the bodega's in the city where violence happened
Speaker 14: in one hundred feet up and gave us some data
Speaker 14: point that said if we turned the lights on in
Speaker 14: this area, it will reduce violent crime about thirty four
Speaker 14: percent if we put lights on in this area.
Speaker 13: So we did those things right.
Speaker 14: We put community people in those communities to deal with
Speaker 14: high risk interventions, deal with folks that were trying to
Speaker 14: retaliate kids that are getting out of jail, meeting them
Speaker 14: immediately like yo, this, we need you to get involved
Speaker 14: in this and do this give them opportunity and we
Speaker 14: have a I want to thank like New Direction, you
Speaker 14: know one hood organizations like that that work with us
Speaker 14: in the city, that do very very dangerous work in
Speaker 14: these communities, trying to reduce the temperature, like they say,
Speaker 14: reduce the temperature.
Speaker 2: I was going to ask congestion pricing. What's your take
Speaker 2: on congestion pricing? Does it help, does it hurt? How
Speaker 2: does it affect? Especially in New Jersey, A.
Speaker 14: Bunch of rich bureaucrats fighting with each other about things
Speaker 14: that work in people have no knowledge of the reality.
Speaker 14: I think the objective is right that obviously the environment
Speaker 14: and congestion is a problem. I think going at it
Speaker 14: this way is an issue. And that's usually what the
Speaker 14: problem is in the state House and governments because most
Speaker 14: of these people's making these decisions, make decisions based on
Speaker 14: a small frame of reference, on a small circle, and
Speaker 14: they're not bringing people in, regular working folks in to
Speaker 14: weigh in and on what they're trying to do. You're
Speaker 14: not bringing the fire guy in who lives in the
Speaker 14: outer boroughs, who gotta work in Manhattan every single day,
Speaker 14: that's gonna have to pay that. You're not you know,
Speaker 14: working class people in New Jersey. You have to drive
Speaker 14: here to go to work. We don't make a whole
Speaker 14: lot of money that you're at. You're hitting them over
Speaker 14: the head again and again and again. You're driving people
Speaker 14: away from the party, driving away from government. They're becoming
Speaker 14: more cynical because they think that these guys are making
Speaker 14: decisions that are hurting them. They don't care about all
Speaker 14: of the big issues you're talking about because you're hurting
Speaker 14: my pockets. I don't got no money as it is.
Speaker 14: Ain't gonna take more of my money. This doesn't make sense,
Speaker 14: So we have to figure it out. Now they say, oh,
Speaker 14: we need to do reverse congestion at that. Yeah, I
Speaker 14: think it's ridiculous, right, I think these are just political
Speaker 14: people throwing volleys at each other in the newspaper, trying
Speaker 14: to get video and in airtime, you know, trying to
Speaker 14: get earned media about this stuff.
Speaker 13: The reality is none of that. It's gonna fix the problem.
Speaker 14: Like, if you want to deal with congestion, you want
Speaker 14: to deal with the issues people have, and you need
Speaker 14: to get on the ground and talk to folks about
Speaker 14: how to really solve this problem. And if you're raising
Speaker 14: money for MTA, off the backs of working class people.
Speaker 14: I think that's wrong, and we need to figure out
Speaker 14: how to do that in a better way right doesn't
Speaker 14: hurt working class folks.
Speaker 5: I want you to expand on that. That's a problem
Speaker 5: that I feel like just Democrats have is with their messaging.
Speaker 5: But you say you got something that you say. We
Speaker 5: say politicians can't make policy for people they can't see.
Speaker 5: They can't solve problems they don't know exist. And I
Speaker 5: say that all the time in regard to politicians because
Speaker 5: they talk about people they never talk too.
Speaker 3: So how can politicians do a better job of it?
Speaker 14: They got to get out of there, go to the barbershop,
Speaker 14: the beauty parlor, the thrift store, the lounge, the bar.
Speaker 13: They gotta talk to folks where they at.
Speaker 14: You know, right now now people are picking people for
Speaker 14: people and you know, sarrogates are running out convincing people
Speaker 14: to vote for you, and you're not going in front
Speaker 14: of people talking and having conversations with them. And that's
Speaker 14: the real problem, Like you don't know these people, like
Speaker 14: you don't know the parent that has an eight year old,
Speaker 14: seven year old and a four year old got to
Speaker 14: go to work, leave them home at the house, try
Speaker 14: to get their neighbors to check on them because she
Speaker 14: can't afford childcare. Right, And then you know, the child
Speaker 14: finds a gun and shoots himself, and everybody talking bad
Speaker 14: about her, but not about the economy that's the richest
Speaker 14: in the world, that does not allow folks to find
Speaker 14: childcare that they can afford. So now she has to
Speaker 14: make a decision, right, or the fact that I can't
Speaker 14: pay my rent because I'm buying Christmas gifts and I
Speaker 14: wait for my income tax to come in so to
Speaker 14: level up on my rent. But I want to buy
Speaker 14: Christmas gifts. I don't know these people. I don't have
Speaker 14: conversations with these people, so the policies I make are
Speaker 14: not going to address them. For example, New Jersey fighting
Speaker 14: over a policy for five hundred for seniors that make
Speaker 14: five hundred thousand dollars to give them tax breaks. You know,
Speaker 14: my grandmother is in a nursing home, trying to figure
Speaker 14: out how to pay the nursing home, how to pay
Speaker 14: medicine right, how to do all the very specific things.
Speaker 14: She don't got a home here in, a home in
Speaker 14: the Hamptons, and a home in Florida. But we don't
Speaker 14: see these people, so you can't make policy for them.
Speaker 14: So those people get pissed out. And the problem is
Speaker 14: those are the majority.
Speaker 7: Of the people, and for you, somebody that is with
Speaker 7: the people, right, even when something like the congestive pricing
Speaker 7: happens with the tolls and stuff, when people are talking
Speaker 7: to you, how do you what are you instantly trying
Speaker 7: to do to help them? Because a lot of people
Speaker 7: I know that are in Jersey, You're like, well, especially
Speaker 7: us that aren't from there, and we moved there thinking
Speaker 7: it was better for us to commute.
Speaker 4: We like, dang, we might as well move into New
Speaker 4: York now.
Speaker 7: But then that goes against what you're trying to do
Speaker 7: with bringing people to Jersey and getting these companies to
Speaker 7: invest in it. Like, how do you start to solve
Speaker 7: that problem before us leaving Jersey becomes a problem.
Speaker 14: I think what the governor is trying to do is
Speaker 14: he's still keeping it in court, trying to raise the
Speaker 14: issue of it so it can be reversed. I mean,
Speaker 14: he went as far as wrote a letter to Donald Trump.
Speaker 14: I don't know how far this is going to go,
Speaker 14: but ultimately we have to keep it on people's mind
Speaker 14: that can continue to have the discussion about it to
Speaker 14: see if we can repeal it in some way. We
Speaker 14: can't just allow it to sit like that to Yay
Speaker 14: or somebody else. Has to figure out how to compensate
Speaker 14: people or give them an opportunity to reduce the what
Speaker 14: it's going to cost, the burden to go back and
Speaker 14: forth to the city who were forced to go there,
Speaker 14: not just going there because they trying to go shopping.
Speaker 2: All right, we got more of a rads Baraka. When
Speaker 2: we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good
Speaker 2: morning morning everybody. It's dj n V.
Speaker 8: Jess Hilarrys Charlamage the guy we are the Breakfast Club,
Speaker 8: Laura Larroossa filling in for Jess.
Speaker 2: We're still kicking him with rods Baraka. Now, did you
Speaker 2: go to inauguration?
Speaker 17: No?
Speaker 3: You did not go. No, we actually put out a
Speaker 3: statement talking about Trump's first day.
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, I wouldn't have went there. I mean it
Speaker 14: was crazy. I mean all all the things he did,
Speaker 14: I mean he said he was going to do so,
Speaker 14: I mean it's crazy. He attacked birthrights, citizenship, got rid
Speaker 14: of diversity, equity and inclusion, fired everybody, got.
Speaker 13: Rid Office of viox Prevention, I went to the website.
Speaker 13: It's gone.
Speaker 14: You know, just all of the things that we need
Speaker 14: to continue to do what we're doing in the state
Speaker 14: of New Jersey and Newark. He just attacked and got
Speaker 14: rid of partnered to all of those people, straight out
Speaker 14: white supremacist, dangerous folks that he let loose. I don't
Speaker 14: know why anybody, they right mind thought it that he
Speaker 14: wouldn't do any of these things.
Speaker 13: But he did it right. And you know, people tell
Speaker 13: you who they are, like they said, believe them.
Speaker 5: Another thing I love that you've done in Newark is
Speaker 5: the homelessness program, because you've helped to cut Newark's homelessness
Speaker 5: in half.
Speaker 2: What have y'all gotten the right that a lot of
Speaker 2: people around the country haven't.
Speaker 14: Well, we have street teams, and our street teams we
Speaker 14: just expanded it to twenty four hours a day because
Speaker 14: they do so good, you know, and the state just
Speaker 14: witnessed the uptick twenty four percent this year, I mean
Speaker 14: the end of last year, and we got a little
Speaker 14: uptick too, but because we had reduced at fifty seven percent,
Speaker 14: were still down. You know, our street teams go out
Speaker 14: there through path home, we talked to folks, we get
Speaker 14: them off the street, and we're being more creative about
Speaker 14: like we created housing out of containers, right, we took
Speaker 14: the container ship and containers and we build housing out
Speaker 14: of ship and containers, which which was successful to us.
Speaker 14: We just went to the housing authority, took two hundred
Speaker 14: of their units that they weren't using, that was abandoned,
Speaker 14: and we're investing in fixing those up so we could
Speaker 14: use them as transit homes for folks that are off
Speaker 14: the street. So we have flexes to put people when
Speaker 14: we pull them off off the corners. And we're just
Speaker 14: very very very deliberate and intentional through our street team.
Speaker 14: About that, about that work.
Speaker 5: Talk about the path home with you you be speeding
Speaker 5: through stuff, never rocket because you do. Actually you're one
Speaker 5: of the elected officials. I can actually say, yo, that
Speaker 5: guy out there, he does doesn't work and you can
Speaker 5: see it reflected in the city.
Speaker 3: What is the path home?
Speaker 14: Path home is like we say housing first, So we
Speaker 14: talk to people on the street until they comfortable coming
Speaker 14: with us to go places, so they know. Our street
Speaker 14: team know most of the homeless people in Newark by name,
Speaker 14: where they live at, so what and so on what
Speaker 14: street day, on what corner they end what tent day
Speaker 14: under so they continue to talk to them, right, and
Speaker 14: then we have a cell phone thing text path home
Speaker 14: eight five five on one path path home to that
Speaker 14: and the guys that go out there and engage these
Speaker 14: folks right and make sure and it's just not regular people.
Speaker 14: You know, you have a drug counselor's there, you have
Speaker 14: a psychiatrist there, you have social workers there, you have regular.
Speaker 13: Street team folks there.
Speaker 14: So it's a whole team of people that go out
Speaker 14: and bring mobile units to the folks where they are
Speaker 14: and begin to try to convince them and pull them
Speaker 14: into housing right. And sometimes they don't come right away,
Speaker 14: but the first you know, we keep going, keep going,
Speaker 14: keep going.
Speaker 13: It was the lady told the.
Speaker 14: Story that it took the folks three or four times
Speaker 14: to talk to her before she said I'm going, you know,
Speaker 14: but but she finally went, and she gave a testimony
Speaker 14: how it turned her change her life around because they
Speaker 14: kept being persistent about hey, we come in here, we
Speaker 14: go again. You know, so food we're just not giving
Speaker 14: you food. We try to give you help support, get
Speaker 14: you off the street. A lot of people come and
Speaker 14: give out food and it makes them feel good for
Speaker 14: that moment. But the person need more than food, right
Speaker 14: They need a house, they need treatment, they need counseling,
Speaker 14: and we try to bring all of that to the
Speaker 14: folks and bring them into housing when we can. All
Speaker 14: we have to do is keep building housing so people
Speaker 14: could come in to have a place to go because
Speaker 14: there's no place for us to put them. Then these
Speaker 14: street teams that become useless.
Speaker 8: Now when you become governor, because you know we're gonna
Speaker 8: put that in the air. What's the first thing you
Speaker 8: want to do for the people in New Jersey? What's
Speaker 8: the what's your first attack? I think we need to
Speaker 8: get the budget in order first.
Speaker 14: I think is out of control and we need to
Speaker 14: one cut spending, cut costs, make the wealthy paid their fairshere.
Speaker 13: That's number one.
Speaker 14: We need to invest in the economy by building housing
Speaker 14: next to transit all over the state.
Speaker 13: Need to put thousands of people to work.
Speaker 14: Turn it into a public works project, the same way
Speaker 14: we did the Less service line. Put thousands of people
Speaker 14: to work in the economy. Get the building trades to
Speaker 14: give us a price for affordable housing and tell them
Speaker 14: they can make up on the volume what they're going
Speaker 14: to miss out on what we reduce in the price build.
Speaker 13: Ten thousand and fifteen thousand units up front.
Speaker 14: Right, we need to take our procurement dollars and invest
Speaker 14: in black and brown communities immediately, to South Asian communities,
Speaker 14: women businesses. The state of New Jersey spends less than
Speaker 14: one percent of his dollars in those communities.
Speaker 13: Now, we got to turn that around, because.
Speaker 14: To me, that is why the economy doesn't grow. I mean,
Speaker 14: you know, you can't have an exclusive economy and expect
Speaker 14: it to grow. There's a whole bunch of communities that
Speaker 14: need to be engaged in the economy that.
Speaker 13: We're leaving out.
Speaker 14: The Latino populational business community represent twenty percent of the
Speaker 14: work force in New Jersey. That's on their own merit,
Speaker 14: that's without any investment, without any support from the state.
Speaker 14: We got to put money in those communities and watch
Speaker 14: those communities grow. Hire people, you hire more people, We
Speaker 14: have to pay them less unemployed employment. We get them
Speaker 14: opportunity to get homes, they can pay taxes, and then
Speaker 14: you will be crying less about the taxes you pay
Speaker 14: because they'll be helping you pay them. Right, invest in
Speaker 14: those communities asap. And that's that's what we do in
Speaker 14: the first one hundred days.
Speaker 5: Well, how how will lions Gate impact New It and
Speaker 5: how will the Netflicks impact just Jersey as a whole,
Speaker 5: like both of them.
Speaker 14: Well, lions Gates will help a community, a neighborhood that's
Speaker 14: been distressed for a very very long time. And when
Speaker 14: they come there, the airport is already building a stop
Speaker 14: there by there so people could get on the train
Speaker 14: to get to the airport, So that that's gonna be awesome.
Speaker 14: And because those students are there, obviously they're going they're
Speaker 14: gonna be retail that's gonna pop up there.
Speaker 13: Because people have to eat, they need to do these things.
Speaker 14: They're gonna get their they don't do whatever, so they're
Speaker 14: gonna Obviously the retail is going to grow there, and
Speaker 14: it's gonna do something about the housing market as well,
Speaker 14: because the housing Authority is already talking about investing in
Speaker 14: the housing in that community. So I see a shot
Speaker 14: in the arm happening for the economy in that area.
Speaker 14: And obviously the state that region is going to benefit
Speaker 14: from it. Once you put the train stop there, you know,
Speaker 14: people could get on the air tram from there. It's
Speaker 14: going to create incredible opportunity for that neighborhood and for
Speaker 14: the Elizabeth and all of the cities that are attached
Speaker 14: to it.
Speaker 13: In that reason, what.
Speaker 5: About the cannabis industry, because you know, we opened up
Speaker 5: a Pashtoria in Newark, myself and Rae Coon the chef
Speaker 5: and car sellers.
Speaker 3: What about the cannabis industry.
Speaker 13: I think it's a I mean, we got to do
Speaker 13: better in New Jersey. Let me say that.
Speaker 14: You know, I just think the bureaucracy is too much
Speaker 14: and the cost of cannabis putting it together in New
Speaker 14: Jersey is hired in places like Pennsylvania and other places
Speaker 14: like that, that we have to work out those price
Speaker 14: lower that stuff, make it competitive in our state, and
Speaker 14: cut a lot of the red tape so more these
Speaker 14: things can happen faster than it's happening now. And lean
Speaker 14: into making sure that black and brown and underrepresented community
Speaker 14: so with victimized have a bigger portion of what's happening here.
Speaker 14: That we have to do this deliberately, like New Jersey
Speaker 14: is they want to do the right think that it's
Speaker 14: afraid to do it out loud, you know what I mean.
Speaker 14: So you got a whole bunch of people. If you say, oh,
Speaker 14: black people are suffering, they'll raise their hand.
Speaker 13: I agree with that.
Speaker 14: They say, oh, we should do something about it. Their
Speaker 14: hands don't go out, you know. So that's that's really
Speaker 14: what the difference is. So we we have to lean
Speaker 14: into like, look, this we notice is the problem.
Speaker 13: You agree with it.
Speaker 14: We need to fix it. We can't charge this amount
Speaker 14: of money. There has to be carve outs for certain
Speaker 14: people in certain communities, and we have to grow it
Speaker 14: faster than what's happening.
Speaker 13: I just think it's taking too long.
Speaker 5: Well, come see us at hash story of seven nine
Speaker 5: nine Broad Street in New I need you to have
Speaker 5: the chief of police just do a little sweep in
Speaker 5: front of the store.
Speaker 3: Though. Oh yeah, a lot of a lot of entrepreneurs
Speaker 3: be out there, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 13: We had a discussion about that.
Speaker 3: It's very like our customers pull up and they be
Speaker 3: trying to get their own sales.
Speaker 2: Drop a diamond.
Speaker 7: Deal with the people that be outside his story. He
Speaker 7: can drop tell four bags so that he can increase
Speaker 7: their revenue. Maybe you should talk to those brothers and
Speaker 7: see what they're trying to do and how hair story
Speaker 7: you can.
Speaker 3: Talk to them.

Speaker 7: go fundme is in support of Wendy Williams fight for
Speaker 7: her independence. Now, there was an update posted to the
Speaker 7: go fundme on the twenty first of January, and that
Speaker 7: says we will officially be retaining the law firm of
Speaker 7: Swartz in Greenberg at List to represent Alex Finny. Alex
Speaker 7: Finnie is Wendy's niece who was also joined us here
Speaker 7: on the show, and Wendy was here or Wendy called
Speaker 7: in to petition the court to address all issues pertaining
Speaker 7: to Wendy Williams guardianship. These lead attorneys, who I'm told
Speaker 7: are very high profile attorneys, Jason Atlas and Brett Newsomb.
Speaker 7: Well they're in the early stages from what I'm being
Speaker 7: told of being retained and that retainer a twenty k
Speaker 7: retainer which is listed here on the go fundme.
Speaker 4: The GoFundMe will be used for that.
Speaker 7: And people may yeah for attorney fees, Well, why does
Speaker 7: Alex need an attorney whatever, whatever, But you have to have,
Speaker 7: you know, people that are also able to help Wendy
Speaker 7: speak and navigate different things as you figure out what
Speaker 7: life is going to be like if she is released
Speaker 7: from this you know what I mean, this conservativeship situation,
Speaker 7: not if or when she is really when she is released,
Speaker 7: you still want to have some proper care. You know,
Speaker 7: Wendy has a whole life she has to now plan
Speaker 7: you know, financial stuff, living stuff, and Alex has been
Speaker 7: by her side. So bringing the attorneys and will help
Speaker 7: them navigate all that. Just make sure that Alex has
Speaker 7: the support that she needs as a person speaking for Wendy. Now,
Speaker 7: I thought that this was funny also too. In the update,
Speaker 7: Wendy gave her own update from Wendy to her fans.
Speaker 7: She said, today's January twenty. First, I have a pink
Speaker 7: versop she robe and victorious secret black bra on and
Speaker 7: I am watching botched, but my body is hidden and
Speaker 7: holding with my red lipstick because it's winter still here
Speaker 7: in this luxury prison. Keep all of you updated. I
Speaker 7: didn't think that's ready, Wendy and the ressatts. He rode
Speaker 7: the Victoria's secret the red lip very much, Wendy. So yeah,
Speaker 7: Wendy is saying thank you guys for all of the support,
Speaker 7: and there will be more updates there soon, and we'll
Speaker 7: make sure that we keep you guys locked right here
Speaker 7: on the breakfast clubs to make sure you guys be
Speaker 7: tuning on in absolutely.
Speaker 2: What about the legislation, Yes.
Speaker 7: Thank you for that reminder. So another movement that has happened.
Speaker 7: The day when we were in here, we talked a
Speaker 7: lot about needing to get lawmakers involved, right because Wendy
Speaker 7: Williams and a lot of things that she's facing. We
Speaker 7: learned that day that she's not the only one going
Speaker 7: through it. So there's actually a lawmaker that came out
Speaker 7: and basically said, I'm sorry, there's a Senator SO Senator
Speaker 7: Anthony Palumbo and New York State Senator told TMZ following
Speaker 7: our interview that he is reintroducing a piece of legislation
Speaker 7: that will help to change guardianship laws regarding family visitation
Speaker 7: in the state. Now, according to him, there's something called
Speaker 7: Carolyn's Law, and it will allow families to visit loved
Speaker 7: ones by filing a motion with the court. Now, the
Speaker 7: guardian wants this is filed, would have ten days to
Speaker 7: show the court if the person that is trying to
Speaker 7: visit displays any inappropriate conduct, and if not, they can visit.
Speaker 7: So it basically wouldn't be just up to the guardian
Speaker 7: to say, oh, well, we need to keep you safe
Speaker 7: from ABC and D and these people are not safe,
Speaker 7: you can't see them. It would actually be like the
Speaker 7: family can say, hey, we're safe, we should be able
Speaker 7: to go and visit, and the court would be in
Speaker 7: the middle of it. So there's a you know, checks
Speaker 7: and balances that would be in the conversation that the
Speaker 7: law is.
Speaker 5: Actually designed to ensure family members have a legal path
Speaker 5: to visit a loved one under guardianship.
Speaker 4: Yes, yep, exactly.
Speaker 7: So that's great news to hear and he says that
Speaker 7: he's actually been following Wendy's case for some years now
Speaker 7: and that her being locked up in the apartment is tragic.
Speaker 7: And he goes on to say that even if like
Speaker 7: this is not what he's saying is happening, But he says,
Speaker 7: even if Wendy's memory was failing, because the guardianship is
Speaker 7: trying to leisure she has dementia, she should still be
Speaker 7: allowed to be with her family instead of forcibly separating
Speaker 7: her from them.
Speaker 4: So she wanted to make that clear. So that all
Speaker 4: good stuff.
Speaker 5: And now that's good because that's a law that's going
Speaker 5: to apply to everybody.
Speaker 4: Yes, yep.
Speaker 7: And like I said, there were so many people that
Speaker 7: were calling. I got dms on Instagram, just people that
Speaker 7: were like, yo, we've been through this. Yeah, and they
Speaker 7: don't have Wendys you know what I mean, like when
Speaker 7: he has a lot of friends in places, but they
Speaker 7: don't have that. So this can help people that this
Speaker 7: is gonna be a trickle down effects.
Speaker 3: That's right at you Breakfast Club, Thank you, You're welcome.
