<v Speaker 2>Now today we're gonna hop right on into the Latest.

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:40.839
<v Speaker 2>Let's get on into some news. So first up, Kanye West.

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 2>So you guys know, Kanye West has been attempting to

0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.319
<v Speaker 2>I would say smooth things over, but I don't even

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 2>think that it's the smooth things over at this point

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 2>with fans, with you know, corporations, with arenas, with the

0:01:55.080 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 2>world at this point. But Kanye West has been attempting

0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 2>to patch things up or do something of the sorts.

0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 2>So he set out to do a few shows.

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 3>This year and they were over in Europe.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:16.080
<v Speaker 2>These various concert dates were either canceled or postponed, or

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>one and then the other due to a lot of

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 2>the backlash from his anti Semitic remarks. Most recently, the

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 2>show in Poland, which was supposed to be June nineteenth,

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 2>was canceled after officials said that it was unacceptable to

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.639
<v Speaker 2>host him given his history of hate speech. They called

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>it a deliberate crossing of boundaries. His show in Switzerland

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.920
<v Speaker 2>was canceled as well. He also found his show in London.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 2>In the UK, he was supposed to headline a few

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 2>days at Wireless Festival, which is a huge festival. I

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>was actually surprised to even see that he was headlining

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>this festival, if I'm being honest. That was also canceled,

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 2>and showing France that he was supposed to do as well.

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 2>To eleventh was postponed and definitely following first it was

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 2>postponed and then it was postponed, and definitely following a

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of the backlash that they were getting, a lot

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 2>of the authorities were getting pressures pressure over there about

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>him coming and performing. Now Wireless Festival, I say I

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>was surprised about him even doing because a lot of

0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:23.239
<v Speaker 2>these one off shows are like, you know, we always

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>talk about like celebrity and celebrity culture and cancel culture

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty six, what that even looks like and

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 2>if it's even honestly like a real thing, not even

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>whether it's real, but whether it actually sticks and sustains

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 2>enough to stop a person's business.

0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 3>Larger than their celebrity.

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, We've had these conversations with other artists, uh

0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 2>the Baby, but not for.

0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 3>The same reasons.

0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Nick Cannon at one point was being, you know, put

0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 2>in this antestemitic conversation, and then you know he had

0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.480
<v Speaker 2>went and had a conversation with a rabbi and kind

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>of has moved forward since. But Kanye West, this is

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 2>always been a bit of a different conversation for.

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.560
<v Speaker 3>Him because of his celebrity.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 2>Now, if I'm being honest, the reason why I say

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 2>I was surprised to see him on Wireless Festival was

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>because even though I know he has a cult audience,

0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>even though I know his celebrity to me and my opinion,

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.280
<v Speaker 2>still shines brighten a lot.

0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Of the things that he's done, he said, which.

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Was proved by all of the sold out nights that

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 2>he did prior to all of these shows at the Sofi.

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:29.600
<v Speaker 2>You know Arena in La Sofi, sayed him in La

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.200
<v Speaker 2>I just didn't think that a brand will honestly take

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 2>the risk of getting behind him. You know those shows

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:39.320
<v Speaker 2>that he did at Sofi, these other shows outside of

0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.159
<v Speaker 2>Wireless Fest, those were not one off because you know,

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>they're big, they're planned, their stadium shows. You know, Kanye

0:04:46.520 --> 0:04:49.040
<v Speaker 2>West brings people out, but so it's not like he's

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 2>popping up at a hole in a while when I

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 2>say one off, But it's Kanye West's name drawing the

0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 2>people out on festivals, it's a bit different. The sponsors

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.920
<v Speaker 2>look a bit different, you know. Know, things for the

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 2>touring company, promotional company are set up a bit differently

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>because of you know, you're coming behind someone's name, you're

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 2>coming on someone else's merit. That is was a big

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 2>surprise for me, especially to be headlining it. When I

0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 2>saw that announcement, that's when I was like, Okay, this

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:21.720
<v Speaker 2>is going to be the test on.

0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 3>Whether or not.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people who were affected by the remarks

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 2>that he made, a lot of Jewish people that were

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:35.200
<v Speaker 2>affected by the remarks that he made, whether we would

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 2>see if you know they've forgiven and actually believe the

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 2>apologies that he set out to give. Now that was

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 2>proven to not be true. And I don't want to

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>say that that one canceled, that one canceled festival and

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 2>these other shows that surround it speak for all Jewish people,

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 2>But I think that it was a good representation of

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>the fact that there are still people in places that

0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 2>are able to make decisions, which is, you know what

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Kanye West was really against in the beginning. Who don't

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 2>buy it? I mean, we saw him sat down with

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 2>a rabbi almost about a year or so ago. He

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 2>issued a letter of apology as an ad through the

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 2>Wall Street Journal in the beginning of this year, and

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>that was titled to those I've heard, And in that letter,

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Kanye West is talking to not just the Jewish community,

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 2>He's talking to Black people as well too, because you know,

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>we're part of this conversation in a big way. I

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 2>don't think, in my opinion, I don't think we've seen

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:35.600
<v Speaker 2>him lean toward enough when it comes to apologizing overhear

0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 2>to us. But I think, you know, we've kind of

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.760
<v Speaker 2>like reaccepted him back into a lot of our spaces,

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 2>and I know a lot of that conversation is like

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like he's one of us, So how

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 2>do we cast him to the side?

0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 3>Throw him away? But I know people who feel opposite. Now.

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:56.720
<v Speaker 2>In the letter that he posted to the Wall Street

0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Journal back in January, he did mention, you know that

0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.920
<v Speaker 2>a lot of his like episodes and things that we

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:05.240
<v Speaker 2>were seeing when he was on these anti Semitic rants,

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 2>when he was degrading black people in our history came from,

0:07:10.280 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 2>you know, a misdiagnosis of neurological issues and various medicines

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.560
<v Speaker 2>that he had been taking and you know, or or

0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 2>lack of and not wanting to get help for a

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>lot of these things, which he said that he's corrected,

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 2>but there's a lot of people that aren't buying it.

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 3>And he's still on this apology tour.

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 2>So Kanye West was spotted leaving the Simon Wisenthal Center

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:37.440
<v Speaker 2>in Beverly Hills Monday night, and TMZ tried to get

0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 2>some information from him about why he was there.

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a listen.

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 2>What's up?

0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Hey, can I ask you what'd you last night

0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 3>at the class? Any thoughts on the festival being canceled?

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:54.000
<v Speaker 1>And the band.

0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:08.880
<v Speaker 2>Thinks, now the Simon Wisenthal Center is a Jewish human

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:13.120
<v Speaker 2>rights organization. It was established back in seventy seven by

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Rabbi Marvin Higher. Here I may be saying that last

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 2>name incorrectly, I apologize. The Center is known for Holocaust

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:27.239
<v Speaker 2>research in remembrance, hunting Nazi war criminals, combating anti Semitism,

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 2>tolerance education, defending Israel in the Museum of Tolerance. So

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of obvious why he's there, even though we

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 2>all do want to have a more definite answer of

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.920
<v Speaker 2>like what exactly he's doing, what exactly he's working through,

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.880
<v Speaker 2>and how he expects this to change anything for him

0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 2>in the public eye, especially because we've publicly seen him

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>meet sit have conversations with the rabbis, conversations of which

0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.600
<v Speaker 2>have been released to the public, and there's still this pushback.

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.559
<v Speaker 2>So you know, I just don't know what that boundary

0:08:58.559 --> 0:08:59.199
<v Speaker 2>looks like for him.

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>He's been able to really music.

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 2>He released Bully finally that dropped and it did well.

0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 2>It did actually really well. But again, I think when

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 2>you have those conversations about Kanye and him dropping music,

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 2>it's not really a surprise as something like a Bully

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 2>does well, because there's still that element of celebrity, which

0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot of powers that be just can't take away

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.920
<v Speaker 2>from you. But when he released it, it released it on

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:29.360
<v Speaker 2>a March twenty seventh of this year, twenty twenty six.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>The lead single from it was Father, which was a

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 2>song that he did with Travis Scott. He dropped the

0:09:34.600 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 2>video for that as well, which his wife Bianka Sensori directed,

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 2>and yet I mean it charted, It broke Spotify records.

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 2>He had features, you know, there were Don Tolliver, Travis

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:54.560
<v Speaker 2>Scott's Heelo Green, Gamma is behind Him, which is Larry

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 2>Jackson's label, and they're you know, very adamant and trying

0:09:57.520 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 2>to you know, figure all of this stuff out.

0:09:59.679 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 3>I got.

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.920
<v Speaker 2>There's my question is here is like, at what point

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:08.640
<v Speaker 2>does Kanye stop right like or does he like, is

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>there a point where he has sat down, been educated enough,

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.360
<v Speaker 2>apologized enough, and now he's actually able to maneuver and

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 2>move around in business and performance and all of these

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 2>things in a way that he wants to or has

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 2>he ruined that for himself so much that there's no

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.880
<v Speaker 2>coming back from it. That's like an honest question that

0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:30.079
<v Speaker 2>I you know, would love to get an answer to and.

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:31.320
<v Speaker 3>To be honest with you.

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Like, one of the biggest things that I'm wondering is,

0:10:33.520 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 2>like who even answers that question? Like there's no one

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 2>unique body of people that answers that question. It's various.

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, there are various different people. When I say

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 2>that things were canceled and there was pushback, there were

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.880
<v Speaker 2>various different people in different places who made these decisions

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.199
<v Speaker 2>not collectively but singlely made these decisions on their own

0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 2>based off of leading their people and wanting to protect

0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.720
<v Speaker 2>their people and wanted to set a standard for their people.

0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 3>And you know, you can't be mad about that. But

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 3>who answers that question?

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.680
<v Speaker 2>And watching Kanye West now and you know he's here

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 2>in Beverly Hills now and he's you know, at learning

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 2>and educating himself and you know, doing all the things right,

0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.319
<v Speaker 2>what does that look like a year from now, two

0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 2>years from now, Like, is there going to be a

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 2>un tapped like unbothered, there's no pushback, We're gonna allow

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>you to come back and be Kanye West's moment For

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Kanye again, that leads into him just being able to

0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:38.440
<v Speaker 2>go on and you know, say that he made a

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 2>mistake or two or three or four or five or

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.080
<v Speaker 2>six and you know, be able to go on about

0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 2>his career. Is that possible. We'll keep you guys updated

0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:50.360
<v Speaker 2>on what happens. I mean, there are still some shows

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that he has out of the US oude of the

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 2>country that plan that he plans to go on and

0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 2>do so, I mean the Netherlands. At the same time

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.960
<v Speaker 2>with Poland, cans So said, hey, we don't agree with

0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.959
<v Speaker 2>his anti semitism. It's disgusting, but that is no legal

0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 2>bounds for us to stop him from performing. So it's

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.480
<v Speaker 2>working in some places. And to be honest with you,

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.079
<v Speaker 2>like I've heard people say, you know, he's doing all

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>of this to apologize to people of the Jewish community

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 2>that have been affected by his words and his actions,

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.560
<v Speaker 2>but it's not enough to the black community. And after

0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 2>seeing him leaving this place in Beverly Hills, I kind

0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.520
<v Speaker 2>of feel like I agree with that now.

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 3>And I love Kanye West. I'm one of the.

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 2>People that are like, look, we got who we got,

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, And you might not deal

0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.400
<v Speaker 2>with them the same way, but to not deal with

0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:44.480
<v Speaker 2>him at all, knowing what he means to us just creatively,

0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 2>but like, yes, it does need to be tamed. It

0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 2>does need to be educated, it does need to be

0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.160
<v Speaker 2>kind of put in this not even team because I

0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 2>feel like artists in the word changes don't go hand

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>in hand. But you know, there has to be some

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:01.040
<v Speaker 2>sense of response ability that we hold him to.

0:13:01.280 --> 0:13:03.680
<v Speaker 3>That's what I mean. And what does that look like

0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:04.160
<v Speaker 3>for us?

0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.400
<v Speaker 2>You guys will remember we talked to Derek Johnson, who

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.200
<v Speaker 2>is CEO of the NAACP here on the latest with

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 2>long Rods of the podcast.

0:13:12.720 --> 0:13:14.959
<v Speaker 3>Please go check out that prior episode.

0:13:14.960 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 2>From our first season because yes we are in season

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.960
<v Speaker 2>two and take a listen to that. And you know

0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 2>we talked to him about the fact that Kanye West

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.880
<v Speaker 2>hadn't even I mean, if we have premiere organizations that

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 2>he would talk to, the NAACP would be that and

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:33.720
<v Speaker 2>they hadn't even received a phone call from him. And

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, we'll go back and check that, but at

0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.600
<v Speaker 2>this time that that was what was fact. But what

0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.720
<v Speaker 2>does he do to apologize even further for us and

0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.080
<v Speaker 2>educate himself. I don't even think it's just about the apologies,

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 2>It's about the change behavior. What do you guys think

0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I want to hear from y'all? Take it to the

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 2>streets and the tweets. I'm Lauren, the roads that everywhere

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.440
<v Speaker 2>l O r e N l O R O s A.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 2>Will Kanye West ever be able to return back to

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:03.080
<v Speaker 2>all things entertainment touring successfully or has he really done

0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.120
<v Speaker 2>it for himself? And when I say that, I do

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:08.600
<v Speaker 2>say that loosely because Kanye is still making money awf

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.080
<v Speaker 2>of what he can do. Let's not get that apped up. Okay,

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:15.760
<v Speaker 2>let's we'll talk about it in another episode. Now before

0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 2>we get on out of here, I wanted to present

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you guys with an update, a very sad update. I

0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.600
<v Speaker 2>actually was kind of going back and forth about whether

0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 2>or not to even report this or have a conversation

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.720
<v Speaker 2>about just because of how sad it it is. We

0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.800
<v Speaker 2>did an interview with a mother. Her name is LaVette.

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.680
<v Speaker 2>She's from Warmington, Delaware, which is where I'm from, and

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 2>we had a conversation about black and missing people and

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 2>children and just the lack there that they, you know,

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:52.680
<v Speaker 2>their cases received when it comes to media attention, when

0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 2>it comes to police help, when it comes to finding

0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 2>our people.

0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a listen to that.

0:15:00.480 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Interview, just just a quick listen to give you guys

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 2>some background on her daughter, Aisha bent Hadifa, who was

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>missing at the time. Because we have an update on Ayisha,

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 2>let's sick.

0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:12.840
<v Speaker 3>Listen.

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.040
<v Speaker 1>My name is live at Bryce. I'm looking for my daughter,

0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>August Benny Daeva. Her name is Aisha. She went missing.

0:15:23.760 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>I live right here on South Franklin. She was last

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>seen down here on Franklin and Elm. We've been out

0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:33.880
<v Speaker 1>here every day since the twenty second looking for.

0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm sad to report that Ayisha was found, but she

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.200
<v Speaker 2>was not found alive. She was found deceased a few

0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 2>days ago here in New York City. There's no current

0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.840
<v Speaker 2>additional details as to why she was in New York.

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 2>You know that is a two hour drive in a

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>car on a bus that is about two hours forty

0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.000
<v Speaker 2>five minutes depending on the bus, same thing on a train,

0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:05.400
<v Speaker 2>so you know that transportation of Aysha would have been

0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 2>very deliberate. And there's no update on you know, how

0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.200
<v Speaker 2>she got here to New York. But her mother went

0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 2>live on Instagram because she's kind of been the only

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.240
<v Speaker 2>updates we've been receiving because the media hasn't really covered

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.480
<v Speaker 2>it a lot, to let us know that they found

0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 2>her baby and she was not alive.

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Let's take a listen to her mom.

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Said, I couldn't because I've been telling them and I've

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>been asking, and I've been telling them. I've been going,

0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>like yo, going, got.

0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:36.080
<v Speaker 3>Any tears left to cry?

0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Because if they hadn't helped me from day one, I

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:47.320
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be here today, man, like yo, Like I felt

0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:47.760
<v Speaker 1>that shit.

0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 3>I felt that shit.

0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I felt I felt it. I felt it. Man, y'all

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even understand when I say I know mine kids.

0:16:57.160 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I know my kids. Oh man, like yo, this can't

0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>be life.

0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Yo.

0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, I don't even got nothing, like I

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:15.720
<v Speaker 1>really don't. I'm gonna still look for the rest of

0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:16.800
<v Speaker 1>them because it's not.

0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 3>It don't make sense.

0:17:19.520 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Like it don't make sense, yo, stay so adamant or

0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>kids just run away? And I know my baby like yo,

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I like yo, man, yo crazy yoa.

0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 2>This is not the outcome that we wanted, of course,

0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. Like when you hear stories

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:40.000
<v Speaker 2>like this, and you know, Aisha was a baby still

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>she was only nineteen years old. When you hear stories

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 2>like this, nobody should have to bury their child. Nobody

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.440
<v Speaker 2>should have to bury their child. And you know, I'm

0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.440
<v Speaker 2>sure her mother is living with so many I wish

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I would have. I wish I could have. You know,

0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 2>she was screaming at the top of her lung for

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 2>help anywhere she could get it. I haven't spoken to

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 2>her on the phone. I called her the day after

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I saw the video. I just kind of wanted to

0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>give her, like a day. I figured everybody would be

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.679
<v Speaker 2>reaching out to her just to you know, send my

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:15.800
<v Speaker 2>condolences and send her some love. And didn't hear back

0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.840
<v Speaker 2>from her. And then a few days later I just

0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 2>shot our text and was just like, hey, you know,

0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.880
<v Speaker 2>thinking about you again today, sending you some love. And

0:18:23.320 --> 0:18:26.399
<v Speaker 2>she was very appreciative of the podcast, and you guys

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 2>as the low riders in the podcast community and everybody

0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:32.440
<v Speaker 2>that you know reached out to her following our episode

0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 2>in our interview with information or you know, whatever you

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>guys could do, just support repost of her daughter's photo

0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 2>when she was still looking for her daughter, she says,

0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:46.960
<v Speaker 2>you know the podcast community. In that interview, literally her

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.160
<v Speaker 2>words were, good morning. I just want to say thank you.

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.719
<v Speaker 2>You helped us in ways you don't even know. Just

0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:56.560
<v Speaker 2>so you know, I am not done, she had told

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 2>us during that interview, and again you guys can go

0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:01.719
<v Speaker 2>back and check out that full interview season one one

0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>of our previous episodes of the Latest with Lauren la

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Rowse of the podcast, she had told us that, you know,

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:11.640
<v Speaker 2>once she found her baby, her mission was not complete.

0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:14.800
<v Speaker 2>She wanted to help other mothers, other parents, you know,

0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:18.800
<v Speaker 2>other people, families who were going through this, missing people

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 2>that look like us, these black and brown people that

0:19:20.960 --> 0:19:24.000
<v Speaker 2>look like us who were not receiving the attention, the care,

0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:29.400
<v Speaker 2>the alerts, and a lot of things that they deserved.

0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 2>And it seems like that's the mission that she's going

0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:32.280
<v Speaker 2>to continue on.

0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 3>So I let her know.

0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:34.679
<v Speaker 2>You know, whenever you need the platform, feel free to

0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.560
<v Speaker 2>give me a call. But man, this is not the

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 2>ending that we wanted to hear at all. So we're

0:19:41.520 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>sending her lots of love. If you're listening, we are

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.439

<v Speaker 2>the place of your child, and you know what you're

0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.360

0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>of a follow up you want to report, but as
