0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Back to the work week. Yes, I'm sick of it.

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.959
<v Speaker 1>I need to be back in the studio. I'm tired

0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.160
<v Speaker 1>of being quarantined at home doing it, doing it from

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the zoom. I want to I want to be back

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in the studio. I'm not gonna lie to you. Well,

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:50.120
<v Speaker 1>today's Phase one in New York City for people returning

0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>to businesses, construction businesses. I think you can do pick

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 1>up at non essential businesses. You can pick things up.

0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:01.120
<v Speaker 1>But they said we probably want to move into phase

0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>two until next month. Yeah, they're saying four hundred thousand

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 1>employees returning to work today in New York. So that's exciting, beautiful,

0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that's good. So I wanted that adds on to the

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>two point five that they said, uh went back to work.

0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess sometime in May, yet that adds on to it.

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 1>That's good. I'm happy drop dropping on the clues BOMs

0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>for everybody going back to work. Glad you got a job.

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.359
<v Speaker 1>God is good. Yeah, they allowed when the graduations too,

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.119
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty people allowed in New York State

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>beginning on June twenty six, So they moved it up

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit so only for outdoor graduations, one hundred

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and fifty people allowed, so the class of twenty twenty

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.560
<v Speaker 1>will get to graduate, hopefully sooner than later. So shout

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>out to the class twenty twenty. Me too. That really

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 1>hurt my really hurt my heart because those kids, like

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, I didn't I didn't march because I graduated

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 1>in night school. But I know those kids work hard

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>and that's something that they always gonna remember, right And

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 1>by the way, a lot of them probably ain't gonnaver

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>graduate from college, so that might have been the only

0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>time they do that a little you know, dance to

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 1>that pomp and circumstance, do I to They figured out

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a way to do socially distance outdoor graduations. Back to

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>those kids, I'm glad too, and not just college, you

0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:10.679
<v Speaker 1>know high school and you know kids graduating kindergart and

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 1>go in the first grade, like all those big moments,

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. Parents are always taping. You

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>have that for life. So I'm glad that students would

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>start to be able to graduate. Because my daughter definitely

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't think she was going to be able to walk,

0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>but now looks like she's gonna too, So that is

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that is great. Captain And then Captain gowns are not

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>cheat people. Okay, and you bought those early in the year,

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>don't you. No, you actually buy it, uh No. But

0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>I had to purchase him about about two about a

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>month ago, two months ago. But I already had a

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>backup plan, and I went to my house and got

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 1>my Captain gown for my mama, and I was just gonna,

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, alter it a little. So my daughter, ken

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:48.080
<v Speaker 1>walking act, you still have yours. My mother has everything

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>that I've ever did. Every when I graduated. Everything when

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>I graduated was pouring raining, and so everybody had like

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>nice outfits they had planned to wear some instead everybody

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>just put on sneakers. It was like pouring that day.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>I remember that I couldn't wait to get it over

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>with no outside in the pouring rain. I was the

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>first person in my family to graduate and go to college,

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>so it was big for my family. So my mom,

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean she framed the diploma. I think she might

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 1>even frame the captain gown and had to take it

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.240
<v Speaker 1>down and give it to me. Like that was really

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>really a big moment for my family. So they were

0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>very excited that. I don't care if it was raining,

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>if it was snowing, they were gonna keep that. So anyway,

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 1>let's get the show cracking front page news. What we're

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:30.520
<v Speaker 1>talking about, Well, let's talk about defunding the police. Protesters

0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>are calling for that to happen in some situations, it

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>looks like it will. What does that even mean? All right,

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that next. Keeping lock this to Breakfast Club.

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:42.919
<v Speaker 1>Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela yee, Charlemagne

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>the guy? We all to Breakfast Club. Let's get in

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:51.719
<v Speaker 1>some front page news where were starting. NFL Commissioner Roger

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Goodell has now said the league was wrong for not

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.159
<v Speaker 1>listening to players who were fighting for racial equality and

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.359
<v Speaker 1>encourage people to peacefully protest. Here's the video that was released.

0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Read the National Football League condemn racism in the systematic

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 1>oppression of black people. We the National Football League, admit

0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier,

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protests. Read

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the National Football League believe black lives matter. I personally

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>protest with you and want to be part of the

0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>much needed change in this country. So it's okay to

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.080
<v Speaker 1>nail now. Donald Trump responded on Twitter. Could it be

0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>even remotely possible that in Roger Goodell's rather interesting statement

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of peace and reconciliation. He was intimating that it would

0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:42.960
<v Speaker 1>now be okay for the players to kneel or not

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:46.520
<v Speaker 1>to stand for the national anthem, there by disrespecting our

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>country and our flag. Here's more about Roger Goodell had

0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.719
<v Speaker 1>to say. Without black players, there would be no National

0:05:52.720 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Football League, and the protests around the country are emblematic

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>of the centuries of silence, inequality, an oppression of black players, coaches, fans,

0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>and staff. We are listening. I am listening, and I

0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>will be reaching out to players who have raised their

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.279
<v Speaker 1>voices and others on how we can improve and go

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.039
<v Speaker 1>forward for a better and more united NFL family. People

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.920
<v Speaker 1>were wondering if he was going to in particular, mentioned

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Colin Kaepernick's name, which he did not, but they are

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>saying the NFL will reportedly not running work out like

0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>last year, but there are increased hopes around the league

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.240
<v Speaker 1>that he could get signed. For the first player he

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>has to reach out to his Colin Kaepernick. If he

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:34.320
<v Speaker 1>said he's reaching out to players, you know, if he

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do that, that's a half ass apology. You gotta

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>personally apologize to Colin Kaepernick. You also have to admit

0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:41.440
<v Speaker 1>that you know Kapp was black balled, and if it

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>wasn't a strategic intentional black ball when they notice no

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.920
<v Speaker 1>owner was attempting to sign him, nobody hits the top

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>intervene to say that's wrong, to make sure he plays.

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>But all these corporations are full of it. You know,

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.240
<v Speaker 1>don't scream black lives matter if you don't have any

0:06:54.240 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 1>black people on your board. You know what I mean.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>NFL got three black coaches, zero black owners. All you

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.159
<v Speaker 1>corporations are full loving, releasing all these I Love black

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.920
<v Speaker 1>People promos and I love Black people tweets and memes,

0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.400
<v Speaker 1>but that isn't reflected in your business every day. This

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>is about black lives marketing at this point. If you

0:07:10.640 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>really care about black lives showing proof through actions indeeds,

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.040
<v Speaker 1>let me see what your board look like. You know

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying. Let me see what your black HighRes

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.320
<v Speaker 1>look like and seeing your positions. Let me see if

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the black people in that company are making just as

0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 1>much as the white people in that company, if if

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>they're performing, you know, at the same rate, all better

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>let me see that. Other than that, it's garbage. Yeah,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I see a lot of companies calling out their companies

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>as well where they work. Now, Minneapolis City Council has

0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.880
<v Speaker 1>announced plans to disband their police department. The nine councilmembers

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.000
<v Speaker 1>they form a veto proof majority. They committed to defunding

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the department and moving toward a community base public safety model.

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>During a rally, according to local reports, they said, it

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>is clear that our system of policing is not keeping

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.

0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>It's our commitment and policing as we know it and

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.800
<v Speaker 1>recreate systems of public safety that actually help keep us safe.

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.160
<v Speaker 1>So they plan to begin voting on legislation targeting the

0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.800
<v Speaker 1>department as well. A lot of protests are calling to

0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 1>defund the police. So what does that actually mean. Well,

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>what that means is instead of funding a police department,

0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of that budget will be invested in the community,

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>especially marginalized ones where much of the policing occurs. They

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:21.880
<v Speaker 1>want to reallocate some but not all, funds away from

0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>police departments to social services, and they also want to

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>implement reforms like police trainings and body cameras and change

0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 1>that people really want so that communities can actually feel safer.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>So they said, it's a spectrum of different things that

0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 1>can happen, and those funds can go towards mental health,

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 1>domestic violence, homelessness, among other things. Yeah, I think it's great.

0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, instead of funding the police department, yes, put

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:45.760
<v Speaker 1>most of the city budgets back into the communities, especially

0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:47.800
<v Speaker 1>the marginalized black ones. You know what I'm saying. You know,

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>we don't never get that kind of funding. Invest in

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the schools, the hospitals, housing, food in the hood, invest

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.360
<v Speaker 1>in those social services for mental health. If if you

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.120
<v Speaker 1>provide folks in the hood with a better quality of life,

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>providing with the quality opportunities, guess what will happen. Crime

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.200
<v Speaker 1>will go down. And when crime goes down, policing goes down,

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>which means interactions, when police go down, which means police

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>killings go down. It's a really simple concept. People, put

0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>some money in the hood. It's not hard. You've been

<v Speaker 1>her chess bro. I had an instant throughout this weekend

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.920
<v Speaker 1>with my family. UM my son who I lived in Robby,

0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 1>my seller's in Green bro He've been up there protests

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 1>and everything, and wife was my sister in law, decided

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:37.199
<v Speaker 1>to send my son a video of the can this

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Owen's rant? And she thought that she needed to send

0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>him as but she never gave us an explanation, and

0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:46.920
<v Speaker 1>my son tried to explain to them, I'm black. My

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 1>wife's time. So for whatever reason, she sent him that

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:53.280
<v Speaker 1>video thinking that that was gonna have him look at

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>things differently and kind of divided her family because of that.

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>So he kind of agreed with candids I went or

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.680
<v Speaker 1>who hell to help to to know? Okay, I'm just

0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't know why she was sending that with

0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:06.800
<v Speaker 1>no context. The whole thing. Yeah, that's the whole thing

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>is we don't know why she sent it, you know,

0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and then they just send that video. Heard my son,

0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:13.960
<v Speaker 1>let's tell me if you agree with it or disagree

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>with it. That's that's what you do when you and

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>be like, hey man, look at it, look at this foolishness.

0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>O hey, what do you think about this? Something? No? No, nothing.

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>She just sent this to him, and then my son

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 1>had to kind of explain things to her. But between

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.560
<v Speaker 1>her and a boyfriend, they try to they try to

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>kind of shed light on the issue, and he was

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to let them know that you can't tell me

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>how things are going, how things should be when you're

0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:37.559
<v Speaker 1>not in my shoes. You're not black, you have to

0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.199
<v Speaker 1>worry about getting pulled over by the police and having

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 1>monetary things taken from you by the police for no

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>reasons for being black. And it was a back and

0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 1>forth and they got my wife so upset that my

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>wife was on her way to Connecticut to fight her

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.599
<v Speaker 1>sister and her board room and her mother had to

0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.679
<v Speaker 1>talk her mother had to talk her off the ledge

0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:01.600
<v Speaker 1>because we do believe that these conversations for people right now,

0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>because especially when you don't agree with each other. Yeah,

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:06.960
<v Speaker 1>but the thing, the thing is age is um my

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>wife and I've been together for thirty years. So you

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:13.600
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, it's like for her for this,

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.800
<v Speaker 1>for this to happen. We don't have a problem talking

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:19.200
<v Speaker 1>about her because we understand because I'm black. My kids

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>are black if my racial but in in society's eyes

0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the black, So they who have white children don't understand, right,

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that our children have to go through on

0:12:31.679 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a daily basis. Well, my kids leave the house. The

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.720
<v Speaker 1>one thing I do tell them do I say be

0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>safe and I love you absolutely, God forbid. And something

0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.560
<v Speaker 1>s happened to my kids. What are out and there

0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 1>about at least I know. That's the last thing that

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I say, Tom, is that to be safe and I'll

0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>love you. And like you said, it is, it is.

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:51.640
<v Speaker 1>It is a tough time, and it is it is

0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a tough thing to talk about. But for some people,

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a tough I don't have to talk

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>about it, all right, I tell you it could feel

0:12:59.480 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 1>really repet I too, because it's like we're having these

0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>conversations right now with so many people who don't understand

0:13:04.320 --> 0:13:06.960
<v Speaker 1>that could easily do some research themselves and find out

0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>and it gets a little frustrating, exactly. And that's what

0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 1>mother in law did because my mom law was an educator.

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.240
<v Speaker 1>So what she did was once she found out about it,

0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>she was she was pissed off. And her thing, her question,

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the same as mine, was what was the reason for

0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>sending it? So she did some research on Kandis Owens

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>and she sent myself, my wife, my son, my sister

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 1>in law. She sent us an email that she found

0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 1>a right up about Candis Owens and what she's about,

0:13:30.080 --> 0:13:31.880
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of it, a lot of it I

0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:34.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't know. And she she, like I said, she's an educator,

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>an English educator, and she built deep and she found

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:39.560
<v Speaker 1>it and she sent it to us, and she's very

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 1>upset with her daughter for doing that right and she

0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.520
<v Speaker 1>feels I had a conversation with her about why she

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.680
<v Speaker 1>did it. Well. I hope y'all get it together and

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I hope that she understands how you know, irresponsible? That

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.600
<v Speaker 1>was Yeah, thanks for checking in, brother, Get it off

0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.439
<v Speaker 1>your chest. Eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.

0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 1>If you need to vent, hit this up now. It

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>was the breakfast Club. Good morning, the breakfast Club. This

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.080

<v Speaker 1>you're man. Thank you from you on the Breakfast Club.

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 1>But you got something on your mind. Hello, who's this?

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>This is the d I'm calling from Jacksonville. They d

0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>get it off your Jacksonville, Florida. What's happening, d Well?

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I was just listening to what you were saying earlier

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:28.000
<v Speaker 1>about them disbanding Minneapolis Police Department and allocating funds into

0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the hood. They're not gonna do that nationwide because it's

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.920
<v Speaker 1>poverty and crime is a million billion dollar business. They

0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>don't want it to stop, they want it to keep going.

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a this is cycle that's been going on for

0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.800
<v Speaker 1>years and to stop it to solve the problem. They

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>don't want the problem to be solved because it's gonna

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 1>take money out of their pockets. Well, that's my love

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 1>to Elections are important and who represents you is important too,

0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.280
<v Speaker 1>because the reason this is happening in many the list

0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 1>it's because of the local council members. This whole moment

0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>that we're in is to get America to change this

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 1>business model. We all know what America's business model is.

0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>That's white supremacy. So we have to dismantle this mechanism

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.440
<v Speaker 1>or white supremacy. So I'm not mad at the idea

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 1>defunding the police at all. I'm not mad at it either,

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>But there's so many people who are sleep There's so

0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 1>many people like I'm not gonna join in on the

0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>keeping the money and with black business. I'm still gonna

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.320
<v Speaker 1>go eating made thenalds. I'm still gonna go eating tiphil

0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:35.920
<v Speaker 1>a like I've listened to like some of my I

0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>won't even say friends, I say associated say that like

0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>they don't. They don't care. They're not trying to help

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.560
<v Speaker 1>the change. They're gonna keep adding on to the problem

0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>because they don't think it really affects them, and even

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>if it does affect them, it's like they really don't care,

0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 1>don't affect them enough for them to try to help

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>to change. You know. You know Harry, those types of

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.280
<v Speaker 1>people shot him. Ain't got time for that. You're trying

0:16:02.280 --> 0:16:03.840

0:16:07.200 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>a slave, Stay here and be a slave, But you're

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.880
<v Speaker 1>not gonna hold us up. Okay, you're not gonna slow

0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.360
<v Speaker 1>us down. Thank you, mama. Hello, who's this yo? This

0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.080
<v Speaker 1>shark called Charlotte? What's up? Broke? Get it off your chests?

0:16:18.200 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Seven old four Queen City. Yeah, I got two things. First,

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about that Chick fil a thing. They're not

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.880
<v Speaker 1>back in this this movement. But also last week just

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 1>got called about the accountability of the police officers having

0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.400
<v Speaker 1>to register like we have to do with our license.

0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I think we need to talk about that subject because

0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>we need to push it, and y'all have that platform

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>to kind of put that out there. But we need

0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>to really put these policies a turnable, because they don't

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>need seven times to finally kill somebody, or two many

0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.120
<v Speaker 1>times to finally kill somebody. They need to be held accountable,

0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's the only thing that change its accountability. Absolutely,

0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:56.000
<v Speaker 1>that's it. You get with you, the man, you're encourage,

0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 1>with you, tolerate. That's right, that's right, we'll get it

0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>off your chest. Don't drink five eight five, one oh

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:03.040
<v Speaker 1>five one. If you need the event, you can hit

0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.440
<v Speaker 1>this up. Now, we got rumors on the way. Well, yes,

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about some companies who are being called out

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>right now for their policies and things that they're saying

0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.120
<v Speaker 1>online and what's actually going on within their businesses. Will

0:17:14.119 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>give you a couple of examples. All right, we'll get

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:19.080
<v Speaker 1>into that next. Keeping locked this to breakfast Club. Good morning,

0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 1>the breakfast Club, borning everybody in cdj Envy Angela, Yee, Charlomagne,

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the guy we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>the rumors. Let's talk Michael B. Jordan. Listen, it's just report,

0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it's report breakfast club. Yes, so, Michael B. Jordan, he

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 1>had showed up to protest with the people in Los

0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Angeles and he talked about something his very memorable movie

0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:50.840
<v Speaker 1>roles Just think about it. Just Mercy Black Panther Fruit

0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Bill Station, and he discusses his role in Just Mercy.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>He said, I learned his tactics, I learned his mentality,

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and then he goes on to talk about the ways

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in which his own production team prioritizees inclusion. Here's what

0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>he had to say. The World's were the world's more

0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.680
<v Speaker 1>powerful industry. I'm an active member of that. I'm dedicated

0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 1>our production coming to an inclusion writer. But it has

0:18:13.240 --> 0:18:16.359
<v Speaker 1>to go beyond that, so to the brands that support me,

0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>to all the productions, to the studios, to the all

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.679
<v Speaker 1>the business businesses and partnerships that I have. If you

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 1>have any financial ties the police, we have to relook

0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:33.639
<v Speaker 1>at our business. We have to stop hiring police. We

0:18:33.720 --> 0:18:37.520
<v Speaker 1>have to cut off their supporting. That's why I'm committing

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to hire hiring private security at a whole body event.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.399
<v Speaker 1>Michael Bee is right. You know what I'm saying. If

0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you have a voice at your company, you got some

0:18:44.280 --> 0:18:46.200
<v Speaker 1>some type of je at your company, If you got

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, some leverage with these companies you working with,

0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>you got to make sure that they are all about inclusion.

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, I have to be honest with you

0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>should have been doing this before this moment, but better

0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>late than level right. And here's something else that people

0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:02.199
<v Speaker 1>are getting called out about now. Adidas actually posted the

0:19:02.280 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 1>word racism crossed out on their Instagram page and then

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.240
<v Speaker 1>they said take action. Things won't change unless we create

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 1>that change. Well, unfortunately, there was a lot of backlash

0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.680
<v Speaker 1>from their very own employees. Now. One person, Julia Bond,

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 1>who's black and works as an assistant designer at Adidas,

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>sent out a letter to Adidas's leadership that she shared

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and she said that Adidas's response is shameful, and she

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 1>said they have consistent complacency and taking active steps against

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 1>a racist work environment. Apparently there's a lot of conversations

0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.760
<v Speaker 1>from employees about things that are going on in their workplace,

0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:39.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot of complaints that are often disregarded, and a

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of frustration. She said, crossing out the word racism

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>does not negate its reality. Rather, it makes you feel

0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:47.679
<v Speaker 1>comfortable knowing that it's gone. Unless you are actively working

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:51.000
<v Speaker 1>and instilling practices against it, you uphold the very thing

0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you claim to admonish. So she called on Adidas to

0:19:53.760 --> 0:19:56.679
<v Speaker 1>issue a public apology for the racism and discrimination they

0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:00.880
<v Speaker 1>have openly enabled and perpetuated across the brand. So that's right.

0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Apparently a lot of people have been talking about it there,

0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:06.520
<v Speaker 1>so all these corporations are full of it. Don't scream

0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.359
<v Speaker 1>black lives matter if you don't have a lot of

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.760
<v Speaker 1>black hires. All you corporations are full of it if

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:13.600
<v Speaker 1>you're releasing these I love Black people tweets and let's

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:17.399
<v Speaker 1>dismantle White supremacy memes and videos. But well, your business

0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 1>doesn't reflect that. It's a fat. It seems like a fat.

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>It looks good to people. So the people are doing it,

0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>but they have to really do it. Yeah, that's how

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:28.080
<v Speaker 1>you make it not a fad by actually putting people

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.919
<v Speaker 1>in those positions in your company. Black people. Don't let

0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.879
<v Speaker 1>black lives matter turn to black lives marketing for some

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of these corporations. Well, in Adida, spokesperson is now saying

0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:38.200
<v Speaker 1>they're going to have an all employee meeting this week

0:20:38.440 --> 0:20:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to discuss the topic and sharing an action plan. They said,

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 1>we recognize that we have not done enough, and we

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.959
<v Speaker 1>are dedicated to doing more. We are close to finalizing

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.080
<v Speaker 1>our commitments to ensure our people, most importantly, our black

0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:52.879
<v Speaker 1>employees are heard, supported and involved in solutions. The action

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.200
<v Speaker 1>plan is simple, high more black people. How many black

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:57.000
<v Speaker 1>people work at your place of business? How many black

0:20:57.000 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 1>people have seen your roles in your company? How many

0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.199
<v Speaker 1>black people on your board? What did your black representation

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:04.720
<v Speaker 1>look like? Is Kanye West on the board at Adidas?

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>He should be. He's got a billion dollar company that

0:21:07.400 --> 0:21:09.199
<v Speaker 1>he built over there were easy. He gave him a

0:21:09.200 --> 0:21:11.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of cultural relevance over the last few years. Is

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.879
<v Speaker 1>Kanye West on the board at Adidas? I don't know.

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I feel like if black people make up thirteen percent

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:20.080
<v Speaker 1>of the population, we should have thirteen percent representation in

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>all industries. We have equity ownership, our involvement. Do you

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.640
<v Speaker 1>have black people company who are outperforming the white people

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.080
<v Speaker 1>with the white people still make more money to the

0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.240
<v Speaker 1>black people? Why is that? Uh, let's talk about it.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.600
<v Speaker 1>If we're gonna talk about it now. Rebake has also

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:36.679
<v Speaker 1>ended their partnership with CrossFit after their CEO made some

0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>insensitive from marks. Greg Glassman is the CEO of cross Fit.

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:44.160
<v Speaker 1>On Twitter now, they said, our partnership with Crussfit HQ

0:21:44.359 --> 0:21:46.119
<v Speaker 1>comes to an end later this year. Recently, we have

0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:48.600
<v Speaker 1>been in discussions regarding a new agreement However, in light

0:21:48.640 --> 0:21:50.959
<v Speaker 1>of recent events, we have made the decision to end

0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 1>our partnership with CrossFit. We will fulfill our remaining contractual

0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:58.439
<v Speaker 1>obligations in twenty twenty. We owe this to the CrossFit Games, competitors, fans,

0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and the community, but doesn't changes our commitment and dedication

0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:06.120
<v Speaker 1>to cross fitters. Now, Apparently what happened was there was

0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.520
<v Speaker 1>a post from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:12.040
<v Speaker 1>There was a tweet said, racism and discrimination our critical

0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.680
<v Speaker 1>public health issues that demand an urgent response wherever they occur,

0:22:15.840 --> 0:22:19.199
<v Speaker 1>and Glassman responded, it's Floyd nineteen, so a lot of

0:22:19.200 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>people call them out on it. And after that happened.

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Reebok has now cut ties with cross needs to get Rebo,

0:22:27.080 --> 0:22:30.440
<v Speaker 1>needs to get back in business with Rose. Perfect time

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.639
<v Speaker 1>to bring back ross Fit but he never had a

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:35.479
<v Speaker 1>ross Fit, but perfect time to launch ross Fit Okay

0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>with Rose, bring back Rose to Rebok member Reboke had

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 1>the s Doc carters and the g Unit sneakers. Also

0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.920
<v Speaker 1>early early on all Right moon walking in a pair

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:51.800
<v Speaker 1>of Rebok pumps too Ye Swiss had a deal as

0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a head over their designer. All Right, Snoop Dogg is

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:56.680
<v Speaker 1>going to vote for the first time in twenty twenty

0:22:56.760 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>now he called into Big Boys neighborhood to discuss the

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:02.600
<v Speaker 1>killing of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests,

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and he said that it'll be his first time voting.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Listen to this. I ain't never voted a damn my life,

0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:09.520
<v Speaker 1>but this year, I think I'm gonna get out and

0:23:09.560 --> 0:23:11.840
<v Speaker 1>vote because I can't stand to see this punking office

0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>one more year. You gotta vocal voice for the voters,

0:23:15.840 --> 0:23:18.240
<v Speaker 1>like you can give people that will go out and

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>vote because Snoop Dogg said so. But for many years

0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they had me brainwash, thinking that you couldn't vote because

0:23:24.800 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>you had a criminal record. I didn't know that my

0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 1>record has been a sponged so I can vote better

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:32.040
<v Speaker 1>late than nevil. I felt the same way in two

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight when I voted for the first time

0:23:33.960 --> 0:23:35.840
<v Speaker 1>ever for President Barack Obama. I didn't know I could

0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:38.600
<v Speaker 1>vote because of my felonies, but I was mistaken and

0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I went out there and voted for the first time

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.920
<v Speaker 1>for President Obama. The sad part about that whole situation

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.359
<v Speaker 1>is Paul Snoop is losing his voter of virginity to

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden, h I lost my vote of virginity to

0:23:49.040 --> 0:23:54.160
<v Speaker 1>President Barack Obama. You got vote virginity to Joe Biden. Hey,

0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.240
<v Speaker 1>anything that will helped get down a Trump Attle office

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.680
<v Speaker 1>and said, that's exactly what he said. Yea, hey, yeah,

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.960

<v Speaker 1>Everybody is DJ Envy Angela ye, Charlomagne the God. We

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:33.360
<v Speaker 1>all to Breakfast Club. Let's getting some front page news

0:24:34.160 --> 0:24:38.240
<v Speaker 1>where we're starting. Ye, Well, today is Derek Chauvin, the

0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>former Minneapolis police officer in charge with second degree murder

0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:42.960
<v Speaker 1>of George Floyd. Is He's going to be having his

0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:45.440
<v Speaker 1>first court appearance today. So I just want to point

0:24:45.480 --> 0:24:47.440
<v Speaker 1>that out. So we keep an eye out for what's

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.119
<v Speaker 1>going to happen there. Now today George Floyd will be

0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:53.280
<v Speaker 1>remembered in Houston before being taken to his final resting

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:57.800
<v Speaker 1>place in Pearland. So today's a memorial in Houston and

0:24:58.040 --> 0:24:59.920
<v Speaker 1>only five hundred people will be allowed in the church

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>any given time during the visitation. So it's a public

0:25:03.160 --> 0:25:05.720
<v Speaker 1>viewing from noon to six pm and it will be

0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 1>at the Fountain of Praise Church in Houston. Then tomorrow

0:25:08.760 --> 0:25:11.040
<v Speaker 1>he'll be taken to his final resting place. Just to

0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 1>give you an update, now, five hundred people will be

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.280
<v Speaker 1>socially distant at a time and mourners will be asked

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>to wear face coverings and gloves. So the public will

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:21.240
<v Speaker 1>have to enter from two sides of the church and

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:24.520
<v Speaker 1>separate socially distanced lines, and after viewing exit the church

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 1>and then you will not be allowed to return to

0:25:27.000 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the lobby to leave. No bags will be allowed either,

0:25:29.280 --> 0:25:31.399
<v Speaker 1>so you have to go through a metal detector and

0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:33.760
<v Speaker 1>your temperature will be checked before you can even get

0:25:33.800 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>in rest in Pezza. George Floyd, he's getting the hero

0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:39.800
<v Speaker 1>send off. This is second memorial because the third is

0:25:39.840 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the Marl Right, I think the third is in Houston tomorrow,

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:46.480
<v Speaker 1>so this is second one today, Yes, and they'll be

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 1>streaming that by the way on khou dot com. So

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:52.520
<v Speaker 1>if you're at home and you want to watch the

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 1>viewing and the funeral service, you can also stream that

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:58.399
<v Speaker 1>and watch it all right now, the mayor in Washington,

0:25:58.480 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Muriel Bowser, has four Emily endorsed Black Lives Matter Plaza

0:26:02.600 --> 0:26:05.879
<v Speaker 1>downtown and it just steps away from the White House

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.600
<v Speaker 1>in Washington, DC. So here's what she had to say.

0:26:08.720 --> 0:26:13.200
<v Speaker 1>What we commissioned was the Black Lives Matter Mural uh,

0:26:13.240 --> 0:26:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's become a centering point, a place for healing,

0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:22.800
<v Speaker 1>um strategizing, but also redress, which is a right in

0:26:22.880 --> 0:26:26.119
<v Speaker 1>America where citizens from all over the country come to

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:30.719
<v Speaker 1>their nature's capital to deliver grievances at the footstep of

0:26:30.760 --> 0:26:34.479
<v Speaker 1>the people's house. Drop in includes bonds from mad Bowser.

0:26:34.960 --> 0:26:39.639
<v Speaker 1>So that was dope right there. Now he lives at

0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:46.679
<v Speaker 1>Black Lives Matter Plaza. Yeah, kind of petty, right like that?

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:51.840
<v Speaker 1>All right? And Republican Senator mit Romney marched in DC

0:26:52.760 --> 0:26:55.560
<v Speaker 1>at a protest after the death of George Floyd. Now

0:26:55.600 --> 0:26:58.440
<v Speaker 1>here is what mit Romney had to say about participating

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in that demonstration to make sure people know what's really good.

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.960
<v Speaker 1>We need a voice against racism. We need many voices

0:27:05.000 --> 0:27:11.840
<v Speaker 1>against racism and against retality. Lives matter. I like how

0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Mit Romney set that up too. He posted a picture

0:27:14.800 --> 0:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>of his father actually protesting during the Civil Rights there.

0:27:19.240 --> 0:27:21.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess he's trying to say like father, like sons.

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I like the way he put that in context. Yeah.

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:25.679
<v Speaker 1>He posted a picture of his dad and said, this

0:27:25.760 --> 0:27:28.560
<v Speaker 1>is my father, George Romney, participating in the Civil rights

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.920
<v Speaker 1>march in Detroit and the suburbs during the late nineteen sixties.

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 1>Course alone will not eliminate riots. We must eliminate the

0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 1>problems from which they stem. I love it. I enjoy

0:27:40.200 --> 0:27:42.320
<v Speaker 1>seeing that. I want to give y'all some good news too.

0:27:42.720 --> 0:27:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Along with this. There's a teenager and I liked this story.

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>This was in Buffalo, New York, Antonio Gwen Junior. He

0:27:48.359 --> 0:27:50.840
<v Speaker 1>saw the damage from protests in his hometown, and he

0:27:50.880 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 1>went and got a broom, got some trash bags, and

0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:55.840
<v Speaker 1>he started cleaning the streets all by himself. He started

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.080
<v Speaker 1>at two am on Monday. He did not stop cleaning

0:27:58.119 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>for ten hours. Then a group of neighbors arrived later

0:28:01.800 --> 0:28:03.720
<v Speaker 1>that morning, they wanted to start clearing out the damage,

0:28:03.720 --> 0:28:05.639
<v Speaker 1>and they found that he had basically done most of

0:28:05.680 --> 0:28:07.840
<v Speaker 1>the work. He's an eighteen year old high school senior.

0:28:08.240 --> 0:28:10.280
<v Speaker 1>He told TN, and he saw on the local news

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.399
<v Speaker 1>that the Billy Avenue in Buffalo was covered in glass

0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and garbage. People needed to use that street to get

0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to work in the morning, and he single handedly pretty

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 1>much did everything. Now, Matt Black is a person who

0:28:21.840 --> 0:28:24.720
<v Speaker 1>saw Antonio gwen junior story on the news and he

0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:26.840
<v Speaker 1>decided that he was going to give him his prize

0:28:27.119 --> 0:28:30.960
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and four Red Mustin convertible. So he gave

0:28:31.040 --> 0:28:32.919
<v Speaker 1>him that car because I guess they looked at his

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.240
<v Speaker 1>page and saw he was asking for advice on buying

0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:38.520
<v Speaker 1>a car and things like that. And then local businessman

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>actually gave him a year of free auto insurance as

0:28:40.920 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 1>well through his insurance agency. So this high schooler went

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 1>out and did a good deed, and then a lot

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.160
<v Speaker 1>of people chipped in to do something positive for him.

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Well that's why you when you do things for people,

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:53.000
<v Speaker 1>or just do things in general, you do them and

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:55.120
<v Speaker 1>not expect anything in return. You just go out there

0:28:55.160 --> 0:28:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and do it. You never know how the universe is

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:59.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna bless you. He just got his Camma back instantly,

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:05.840
<v Speaker 1>clearly all right, and Colin Powell. Donald Trump is upset

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:08.719
<v Speaker 1>that Colin Powell will be voting for Biden. Now, he

0:29:08.800 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>went ahead and said, Colin Powell, a real stiff who

0:29:11.600 --> 0:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>was very responsible for getting us into the disastrous Middle

0:29:14.200 --> 0:29:16.760
<v Speaker 1>East wars, just announced he will be voting for another stiff,

0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>sleepy Joe Biden. Didn't Powell say that Iraq had weapons

0:29:19.880 --> 0:29:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of mass destruction? They didn't, but off we went to war.

0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:24.920
<v Speaker 1>That's what he said on Twitter after Colin Powell appeared

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:26.960
<v Speaker 1>on CNN and said that he was going to be

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.680
<v Speaker 1>voting for Biden. According to Colin Powell, he said, be

0:29:29.720 --> 0:29:32.480
<v Speaker 1>up a constitution and we have to follow that constitution,

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:34.800
<v Speaker 1>and the president has drifted away from it. On State

0:29:34.840 --> 0:29:37.640
<v Speaker 1>of the Union. Yeah, I was watching that yesterday. That's

0:29:37.680 --> 0:29:40.680
<v Speaker 1>not a shock. Colin Powell voted for Barack Obama and

0:29:40.880 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Hillary Clinton. So I mean it's not a shot. And

0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.360
<v Speaker 1>the problem with Trump Man and why you can't count

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>Trump out as simple. We don't know how he won

0:29:48.080 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>in twenty sixteen. Twenty sixteen, it was the same thing,

0:29:50.600 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>low prooper rating amongst people, lowdprooper rating amongst other GOP officials,

0:29:54.240 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 1>every poll saying Trump didn't stand a chance, and then

0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:59.400
<v Speaker 1>on election Day he became the guy damn president allowed

0:29:59.440 --> 0:30:01.680
<v Speaker 1>me to reintroduce myself. Okay, that's why I keep saying

0:30:01.760 --> 0:30:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden has to go out there and beat him,

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.520
<v Speaker 1>because Trump isn't just gonna lose. And how does Joe

0:30:06.520 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Biden beat Trump by doing what all of the world

0:30:08.600 --> 0:30:11.400
<v Speaker 1>is doing right now? Leaning in the blackness? Okay, if

0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Biden would have listened to us much ago, he would

0:30:13.080 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 1>have been ahead of the curve, ahead of a black curve,

0:30:15.440 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 1>all right, a long time ago. Still got talking to

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:22.480
<v Speaker 1>catch up, though, And that's why I say, like with representatives,

0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't it's not really about whether you're a Democrat

0:30:24.640 --> 0:30:26.840
<v Speaker 1>or a Republican. If I support somebody and I like

0:30:26.960 --> 0:30:29.800
<v Speaker 1>their policies, I support them. So that's how you know

0:30:29.920 --> 0:30:32.080
<v Speaker 1>some people on my sake phone and power as a Republican.

0:30:32.160 --> 0:30:36.080
<v Speaker 1>But he's supporting Joe Biden, and that's great. Interest. You

0:30:36.160 --> 0:30:38.320
<v Speaker 1>vote what you think is best for the country, simple

0:30:38.320 --> 0:30:41.680
<v Speaker 1>as that. It's not about personality. It's about policy, simple,

0:30:41.720 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>it's not about individuals, it's about interest. Simple. All right, Well,

0:30:46.520 --> 0:30:49.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm Angela Yee and that is your front page news.

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:53.240
<v Speaker 1>All right. When we come back Republic Records, they banned

0:30:53.320 --> 0:30:56.640
<v Speaker 1>the term urban within the label and they are encouraging

0:30:56.680 --> 0:30:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the music industry to follow suits. So you know a

0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Republic Records is home of Drake, Ariana Grande and a

0:31:03.240 --> 0:31:08.400
<v Speaker 1>host of others. We eight five eight five one o five.

0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.440
<v Speaker 1>They might need to ban the word urban. I ain't

0:31:10.440 --> 0:31:13.760
<v Speaker 1>hear one black number play the term urban. What do

0:31:13.760 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you guys feel about the term the term urban? That

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that is the question. Let's talk about it. Do you

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>think the term urban should be banned? We'll talk, But

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 1>why do you hate it? I hate the term urban

0:31:26.040 --> 0:31:28.560
<v Speaker 1>because it makes me feel like, um, they're just afraid

0:31:28.600 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to say black. I've I've always said that. By the way,

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:33.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never liked that word. I'm on record saying that.

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>And the reason I never liked the word urban is

0:31:35.120 --> 0:31:36.959
<v Speaker 1>because what I just said, I always felt like it

0:31:37.040 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 1>was their way of avoiding the word black. Like I

0:31:39.600 --> 0:31:41.240
<v Speaker 1>like to hear the word black. I would like to

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 1>hear black. Adult contemporary music card. You know, Mike Kais

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.560
<v Speaker 1>is the head of Black Music Atlantic Records. The Breakfast

0:31:47.560 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Club is a black radio show, well one one, one,

0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:55.080
<v Speaker 1>one and a half in a Dominican and I like

0:31:55.240 --> 0:31:58.000
<v Speaker 1>when people refer to me as a black radio personality,

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:01.440
<v Speaker 1>not an urban radio personality. Even why it's interesting say

0:32:01.520 --> 0:32:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they't make black music. They'll give somebody like Ed Sharon.

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:06.880
<v Speaker 1>They'll say he's one of the most important urban artists,

0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:09.800
<v Speaker 1>but he's not black. But does he make urban music,

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:12.560
<v Speaker 1>malack music? Or what do you call the black music?

0:32:12.600 --> 0:32:14.360
<v Speaker 1>So when you have an artist like, let's say a

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Post Malone or Eminem, do you say they make black music?

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Polst Malone, post Malone? Watch you said post I know

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.960
<v Speaker 1>what I Malone? I said post Malone. I said to

0:32:24.120 --> 0:32:27.680
<v Speaker 1>artists like post Malone or Eminem, do they make black music? Yes,

0:32:27.720 --> 0:32:31.400
<v Speaker 1>they make black music. Duh. I'm just asking do you mean?

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 1>But then when we do we do country music or

0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>do we do pop music? Do we do you know,

0:32:35.280 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>do we do white music? We're making country music. Lodex

0:32:37.880 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>made a country music yes, Little made a white music category.

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just as different. It's different with um. I guess

0:32:47.120 --> 0:32:49.600
<v Speaker 1>hip hop right because hip hop has an actual term.

0:32:49.680 --> 0:32:51.760
<v Speaker 1>So when somebody is rapping, you know what to call that.

0:32:51.760 --> 0:32:53.680
<v Speaker 1>When somebody doing country music. Correct, you know what to

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 1>call that. But when something is labeled urban, like, why

0:32:56.680 --> 0:32:59.640
<v Speaker 1>is that our urban radio show? No, it's called me

0:32:59.680 --> 0:33:02.040
<v Speaker 1>a black radio show. Why am I urban radio personality?

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Call me a black radio personality. It just always feels

0:33:04.120 --> 0:33:06.880
<v Speaker 1>like urban is just their way of avoiding saying that

0:33:07.000 --> 0:33:12.200
<v Speaker 1>beautiful magical word black. Okay, black black black, bigitty black

0:33:12.240 --> 0:33:14.920

<v Speaker 1>to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

<v Speaker 1>Talk about it morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee,

0:33:52.000 --> 0:33:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, if

0:33:55.080 --> 0:33:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you just joined us, we're talking about the term urban. Now.

0:33:58.360 --> 0:34:01.880
<v Speaker 1>What happened with a republic KA. So basically they put

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:03.760
<v Speaker 1>out a statement and they said that they are not

0:34:03.800 --> 0:34:05.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be using the word urban. They're actually burning

0:34:06.440 --> 0:34:09.279
<v Speaker 1>banning it from the company verbiage, and they said, we

0:34:09.360 --> 0:34:11.439
<v Speaker 1>encourage the rest of the music industry to follow suit,

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:13.160
<v Speaker 1>as it is important to shape the future of what

0:34:13.200 --> 0:34:15.400
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to look like and not adhere to the

0:34:15.440 --> 0:34:18.359
<v Speaker 1>outdated structures of the past. And just so you guys know,

0:34:18.800 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that term urban dated back to DJ Frankie Cracker. He's

0:34:23.560 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>a black New York radio DJ from back in the

0:34:25.600 --> 0:34:29.000
<v Speaker 1>mid seventies, and he coined the phrase urban contemporary and

0:34:29.040 --> 0:34:31.080
<v Speaker 1>they later shortened it to urban. And so they said

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the term didn't carry negative connotations at that time, but

0:34:34.239 --> 0:34:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people argue it has evolved to symbolize

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:40.000
<v Speaker 1>lumping music by black artists into one category and to

0:34:40.120 --> 0:34:43.640
<v Speaker 1>one category, and marginalizing black musicians. The only black man

0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.279
<v Speaker 1>with a sun tan Frankie Crocker. I encourage all radio

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:49.640
<v Speaker 1>personalities to go google some old Frankie croc on YouTube,

0:34:49.719 --> 0:34:51.919
<v Speaker 1>drop on the clues bombs with Frankie Crocker rescue pieces

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:57.600
<v Speaker 1>to the legend Frankie Crocker legend. I've I don't like

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the word urban. Urban to me is their way of

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:05.440
<v Speaker 1>not saying black. It feels like erasier. It feels like marginalization.

0:35:05.520 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 1>When I hear the word in meetings or just you know, conversation,

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:11.440
<v Speaker 1>I always tell the person to just say black, Like

0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 1>why are you afraid to say black? It rolls off

0:35:13.320 --> 0:35:16.600
<v Speaker 1>your tongue so well. Black black black black black, Okay.

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I like when i'm when they say the Breakfast Club

0:35:19.080 --> 0:35:22.120
<v Speaker 1>is a black radio show. Charlomine God's a black radio personality.

0:35:22.160 --> 0:35:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I like when here somebody's the president of black something

0:35:26.040 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 1>at a company. I like that word. I hate the

0:35:28.320 --> 0:35:33.240
<v Speaker 1>word urban. What do you think it's see? It's difficult

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:36.000
<v Speaker 1>because I never really thought so much about it. Like

0:35:36.040 --> 0:35:38.680
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, from the point of view of some

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.160
<v Speaker 1>artists who I know right who, just because you're black,

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>they term you and put you in black music. So

0:35:43.680 --> 0:35:47.799
<v Speaker 1>even if you're say alternative rock music, they'll still say

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:50.279
<v Speaker 1>your black music, and then they won't play you on

0:35:50.440 --> 0:35:52.640
<v Speaker 1>certain stations that might be a format because I feel

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:54.440
<v Speaker 1>like they do that to fit a certain format so

0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:56.759
<v Speaker 1>that they can play you on certain stations. And I

0:35:56.800 --> 0:35:59.240
<v Speaker 1>think the whole thing is confusing because I also feel

0:35:59.239 --> 0:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>like nowadays streaming services and people having so many different

0:36:02.840 --> 0:36:06.080
<v Speaker 1>tastes and wanting to listen to different genres. I don't know.

0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to say. It doesn't matter if you know

0:36:07.960 --> 0:36:10.040
<v Speaker 1>what I'm saying, Like, if you're a black artist, is

0:36:10.080 --> 0:36:16.640
<v Speaker 1>that mean automatically that Chared lumped into black music? So okay,

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:18.520
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, He's absolutely right, But what

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:22.120
<v Speaker 1>you just explained is systemic racism. Because if I'm a

0:36:22.160 --> 0:36:24.800
<v Speaker 1>black artist and I make a country song, that actually

0:36:24.800 --> 0:36:26.600
<v Speaker 1>happened with Little nos X, they didn't want to put

0:36:26.640 --> 0:36:28.560
<v Speaker 1>Little nose X on the charts for right every reason.

0:36:28.640 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Why not he made a country record. You know what

0:36:30.640 --> 0:36:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. If I'm a black rock group and I

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.000
<v Speaker 1>make a rock song, then put me on the rock charts,

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. The fact that you're keeping

0:36:37.640 --> 0:36:39.160
<v Speaker 1>me off of that and want to lump me into

0:36:39.480 --> 0:36:42.479
<v Speaker 1>you know, put me into urban is just because I'm black.

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:48.000
<v Speaker 1>That if, within itself a systemic racism and sharing. I

0:36:48.080 --> 0:36:49.840
<v Speaker 1>never had a problem with the term urban and I

0:36:49.960 --> 0:36:51.799
<v Speaker 1>never really thought about it. And I've been going to

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:54.239
<v Speaker 1>the label since I've been sixteen, picking up records, but

0:36:54.320 --> 0:36:56.480
<v Speaker 1>I do know when the artist is signed that they

0:36:56.560 --> 0:36:59.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of put you into what category your music. I

0:36:59.560 --> 0:37:02.799
<v Speaker 1>guess to finds like if you're a rapper, they put

0:37:02.840 --> 0:37:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you usually in the urban department. If you're a pop artist,

0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:08.960
<v Speaker 1>they put you in rhythmic the section or a pop section.

0:37:09.280 --> 0:37:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Or if you're a country artists, they put you in

0:37:10.680 --> 0:37:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the country section. And it's not the country section is

0:37:12.880 --> 0:37:16.680
<v Speaker 1>what they work. So the country section works this the

0:37:16.719 --> 0:37:19.680
<v Speaker 1>country charts and the country radio stations, and the urban

0:37:19.719 --> 0:37:23.680
<v Speaker 1>department works the urban radio and they work the clubs,

0:37:23.719 --> 0:37:26.080
<v Speaker 1>and they worked the urban DJs. That's how I thought

0:37:26.080 --> 0:37:28.279
<v Speaker 1>it was category at Kaze. I wouldn't. I never had

0:37:28.280 --> 0:37:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a problem with well, urban means this. I just never did.

0:37:31.719 --> 0:37:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess me being from New York and New York

0:37:33.440 --> 0:37:36.280
<v Speaker 1>considered so urban, I grew up on the words. Would

0:37:36.320 --> 0:37:39.719
<v Speaker 1>never never that kind of it wasn't offensive way now

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:41.880
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't offensive to me. It's never been offensive to me.

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Right because the post Malone is he definitely alone. Then

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:48.279
<v Speaker 1>if they get rid of urban music, is he categorizes

0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:53.080
<v Speaker 1>black music now Justin b as he makes hip hop?

0:37:53.160 --> 0:37:55.360
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying, Like they made Justin admitted

0:37:55.400 --> 0:37:57.920
<v Speaker 1>this weekend that you know he makes black music, he's

0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>appropriated black culture now and just to play white devil's advocate,

0:38:02.040 --> 0:38:03.839
<v Speaker 1>they do do that at the black artists as well,

0:38:03.840 --> 0:38:06.680
<v Speaker 1>because there was times when Rihanna didn't get played on

0:38:07.280 --> 0:38:11.600
<v Speaker 1>uh quote unquote urban radio because they said she was

0:38:11.640 --> 0:38:13.640
<v Speaker 1>making pop records, you know, and I remember it was

0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a time where she had to transition and she started

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:18.560
<v Speaker 1>um making pop records. But then she would also do

0:38:18.640 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>something for she did both ways. Yeah, and Beyonce. I

0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's the same. You know, she's also a

0:38:24.120 --> 0:38:27.919
<v Speaker 1>pop artist because pop just means popular exactly which black

0:38:28.000 --> 0:38:29.960
<v Speaker 1>music kid is, by the way, which hipop is the

0:38:30.040 --> 0:38:32.640
<v Speaker 1>most popular art form. We didn't get rid of all

0:38:32.640 --> 0:38:35.560
<v Speaker 1>how about we get rid of all the later urban

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:38.880
<v Speaker 1>but let's just make music. But you gotta call it

0:38:38.920 --> 0:38:42.440
<v Speaker 1>because you know it's different. People work different parts. So

0:38:42.480 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it's like, you know, some people work needies, different things,

0:38:45.520 --> 0:38:47.879
<v Speaker 1>you know, different stations. Yeah, you do need categories because

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.160
<v Speaker 1>that's how you define where you're working, you know what

0:38:50.160 --> 0:38:53.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Some people think some people will work at

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:55.319
<v Speaker 1>the at the hip hop stations and they'll never work pop,

0:38:55.360 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 1>or they'll never work country, they'll never cross over. It's

0:38:57.520 --> 0:39:00.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of you have people that's designed to do certain areas,

0:39:00.480 --> 0:39:03.279
<v Speaker 1>so you don't have everybody doing everything well. Envy you're

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.440
<v Speaker 1>talking from a very old school perspective, because don't nobody

0:39:06.400 --> 0:39:09.040
<v Speaker 1>goddamn work No more records work themselves. Now they still

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>they work. They show up after the fact. Now they

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 1>still liar. They show up after the fact. Now they

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:15.120
<v Speaker 1>show up after a record has already popped off on

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:18.480
<v Speaker 1>the internet, Like, Hi, why is that's not true? In

0:39:18.520 --> 0:39:20.160
<v Speaker 1>some cases they do. But a lot of cases they

0:39:20.200 --> 0:39:22.400
<v Speaker 1>do work our records, and they do play with the

0:39:22.480 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>last time record got worked. Seriously, record got worked. They

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:29.920
<v Speaker 1>went after they popping online. What normally happens is they

0:39:29.920 --> 0:39:32.480
<v Speaker 1>see a little buzz and then the label does get

0:39:32.480 --> 0:39:34.480
<v Speaker 1>behind it once you created some bus and then they're

0:39:34.480 --> 0:39:36.839
<v Speaker 1>the ones that make it go top ten. Absolutely, they

0:39:36.840 --> 0:39:39.319
<v Speaker 1>work records, They play record They have music meetings every

0:39:39.320 --> 0:39:41.360
<v Speaker 1>week where they play new artists and new records that

0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:43.040
<v Speaker 1>they're trying to push. Is that right a wrong right?

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:46.400
<v Speaker 1>They do. They do respond to what people are saying

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:48.319
<v Speaker 1>online and then try to take it over the top,

0:39:48.360 --> 0:39:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Like they say, Okay, we can see this has the

0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:52.479
<v Speaker 1>potential to be a top ten record. Okay, record labels

<v Speaker 1>the work out I do. I appreciate you. Thank you

0:41:51.360 --> 0:41:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so much. Brother. We're talking to the term urban. What

0:41:53.600 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 1>are your thoughts? Um? It's a word, and I feel like,

0:41:57.120 --> 0:42:01.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, words throughout time as evolved as as I

0:42:01.200 --> 0:42:04.240
<v Speaker 1>will understand evolved. Words, you know, take on different meanings.

0:42:04.280 --> 0:42:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Gay used to be used to me happy, and it

0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of still does. But you're saying, hey, man, are

0:42:09.120 --> 0:42:13.960
<v Speaker 1>you gay? You know? Just definition to that that question

0:42:14.000 --> 0:42:17.439
<v Speaker 1>now days, I feel like it still means happy though

0:42:18.200 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 1>city it does. But if I say, he said, if

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:25.759
<v Speaker 1>you said what I said, Charlomagne, are you gay? You know,

0:42:25.800 --> 0:42:27.120
<v Speaker 1>if I said, if I ask you, are you gay,

0:42:27.160 --> 0:42:29.320
<v Speaker 1>You're not gonna say, you know, say a good point, Charlomagne,

0:42:29.320 --> 0:42:34.920
<v Speaker 1>are you I would reply, I would reply on marriage, sir,

0:42:34.120 --> 0:42:39.640
<v Speaker 1>gay urban music? Are you gay? Harry? You know what

0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:45.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying? Oh my god, But I think so the

0:42:45.480 --> 0:42:48.400
<v Speaker 1>definition of the ter urban is school urban men, city

0:42:49.280 --> 0:42:51.640
<v Speaker 1>rural rule men out in the country, and and sub

0:42:51.719 --> 0:42:54.239
<v Speaker 1>urban men you know, from there in between. But now,

0:42:54.360 --> 0:42:56.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, I feel like it depends on the context.

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>You know what I'm saying. If I'm if I'm writing

0:42:58.200 --> 0:42:59.800
<v Speaker 1>a script or a play, you know, and I gotta

0:42:59.800 --> 0:43:02.640
<v Speaker 1>say the setting, I'm gonna say, Okay, it's in the

0:43:02.719 --> 0:43:05.440
<v Speaker 1>urban setting, so you are automatically know it's in the city.

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.720
<v Speaker 1>But if you know, you got you know, white folks

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, standing you know, or you know, I want

0:43:09.440 --> 0:43:11.799
<v Speaker 1>to say, white foot prejudice, folks standing around, you know,

0:43:12.280 --> 0:43:15.360
<v Speaker 1>having a conversation. Oh this is the urban style. You

0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:17.319
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. Didn't didn't that made the you

0:43:17.320 --> 0:43:19.279
<v Speaker 1>know a loaded words? You know. It depends. I think

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it depends on the content. You know, what I'm saying.

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so, I mean, that's that's that's that's my cue. Man,

0:43:24.680 --> 0:43:27.200
<v Speaker 1>just like the word, just like the word Christian. You

0:43:27.239 --> 0:43:30.239
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying. It's like the world black, you know,

0:43:30.520 --> 0:43:33.759
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know it takes on different meanings throughout time.

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:36.000
<v Speaker 1>You just talk about intent. What is your intent when

0:43:36.040 --> 0:43:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you use it? Exactly? Okay, Well, thank you brother? Hello?

0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Who's this? This is Matt? Matt. What's up? Bro? I'm good.

0:43:45.000 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm good about stuff. Man, go on them to everybody.

0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:50.600
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think a lot of black people, a

0:43:50.600 --> 0:43:53.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of black people don't want to be black. So

0:43:53.280 --> 0:43:56.399
<v Speaker 1>we don't want everything urban to be renamed black because

0:43:56.440 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't represent I like that. Take you got right there, sir,

0:44:01.120 --> 0:44:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. They yeah, they wouldn't appreciate that. So they

0:44:03.719 --> 0:44:05.879
<v Speaker 1>want to keep it mainly political and they think it'll

0:44:05.920 --> 0:44:10.239
<v Speaker 1>be something that'll be worse more than good. So yeah, yeah,

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:13.040
<v Speaker 1>so urban urban is a politically correct word that so

0:44:13.080 --> 0:44:14.959
<v Speaker 1>they don't have to say black, and it's a word

0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:18.400
<v Speaker 1>that makes everybody who who isn't comfortable with their blackness

0:44:18.480 --> 0:44:22.000
<v Speaker 1>feel comfortable. Well, not just the blackness, but everything that

0:44:22.160 --> 0:44:25.120
<v Speaker 1>urban fast for isn't something that all black people don't

0:44:25.200 --> 0:44:28.400
<v Speaker 1>stay Like, oh you mean you Okay, I get what

0:44:28.400 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you're saying. Like, do you think urban comes with ghetto?

0:44:30.800 --> 0:44:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Is what you're saying. Yeah, it's been good. Apply too

0:44:34.239 --> 0:44:36.719
<v Speaker 1>closely for that, and a lot of people don't even

0:44:36.719 --> 0:44:39.480
<v Speaker 1>want to the hood to exist. We want all black

0:44:39.520 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 1>people to live outside of the hood most people do.

0:44:43.120 --> 0:44:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Are we gonna rename urban outfitters? Black outfitters will be fine?

0:44:50.040 --> 0:44:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I get what you're saying. I get what you're saying.

0:44:52.400 --> 0:44:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess growing up in New Yorker, I mean we

0:44:54.320 --> 0:44:56.719
<v Speaker 1>we always considered New York City urban, so it was

0:44:56.800 --> 0:45:00.319
<v Speaker 1>never a thing of anything else. Like if you it's

0:45:00.320 --> 0:45:02.359
<v Speaker 1>certain styles that you just just looked at this urban

0:45:02.680 --> 0:45:05.520
<v Speaker 1>you know when I don't know, as a matter of fact,

0:45:05.560 --> 0:45:07.680
<v Speaker 1>if you lived in the suburbs growing up, we felt

0:45:07.719 --> 0:45:09.920
<v Speaker 1>like you was corny. You know what I'm saying, Like, oh,

0:45:09.960 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 1>that's suburban. Oh the suburban kids. Urban was actually cool. Yeah,

0:45:14.719 --> 0:45:18.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, it's I don't know. I guess mean

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:20.120
<v Speaker 1>being from New York City just now, I never had

0:45:20.120 --> 0:45:22.480
<v Speaker 1>a problem with the term. Yeah, I agree with that.

0:45:22.560 --> 0:45:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I think here it was always like urban was cool, hip,

0:45:25.640 --> 0:45:28.319
<v Speaker 1>suburban was like follow you know what I'm saying, Like

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the way you looked at it, like, oh, he's suburban anyway,

0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:32.920
<v Speaker 1>he don't know. You know, there are certain things that

0:45:32.960 --> 0:45:35.560
<v Speaker 1>was urban culture, like you know, do rags was like

0:45:35.600 --> 0:45:39.399
<v Speaker 1>the urban was urban culture. Not the way we wore

0:45:39.440 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>our pants, the way we we tied out sneakers, that

0:45:41.640 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 1>was all urban. That was our urban culture. You know

0:45:44.400 --> 0:45:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we laced it a certain way and

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:48.520
<v Speaker 1>run dmc wore there kicks a certain way, and the

0:45:48.560 --> 0:45:51.560
<v Speaker 1>way we wore our jerseys. Culture. Why we say urban?

0:45:51.600 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Nobody nobody grew up in the hood saying urban. We

0:45:54.000 --> 0:45:56.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't grow up in the hood saying yo, that's urban's

0:45:56.640 --> 0:46:01.840
<v Speaker 1>We never said urban culture. We never said black culture.

0:46:01.880 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 1>E look, we never just say I never. I never

0:46:07.120 --> 0:46:11.520
<v Speaker 1>said we. I never that. I never said the dance

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:14.359
<v Speaker 1>is the black way I just wore. Because that's why

0:46:14.360 --> 0:46:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I definitely no, no, no no time about envy. You're a liar.

0:46:17.040 --> 0:46:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna tell you why. You know, goodall, at some

0:46:19.040 --> 0:46:20.880
<v Speaker 1>point in your life you heard people in the hood say, oh,

0:46:20.880 --> 0:46:23.000
<v Speaker 1>he's talking like a white boy. Oh he's dressing like

0:46:23.040 --> 0:46:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a white boy. So if you're if you're saying that

0:46:25.200 --> 0:46:27.840
<v Speaker 1>what are you dressing like? Clearly you're making the distinction,

0:46:27.920 --> 0:46:30.480
<v Speaker 1>but nobody ever said you're dressing like a that's like

0:46:30.520 --> 0:46:34.080
<v Speaker 1>black culture. Nobody ever said that we were from. That's

0:46:34.120 --> 0:46:36.560
<v Speaker 1>what we say. We did it because that's what we

0:46:36.600 --> 0:46:39.800
<v Speaker 1>say black power, we say black pride, you know what

0:46:39.840 --> 0:46:42.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean? Like we were we were very We always

0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:45.279
<v Speaker 1>were when we had the Malcolm X hats and the

0:46:45.560 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 1>African medallions, like we were very intune with I'll black

0:46:48.719 --> 0:46:52.400
<v Speaker 1>remember black Bart Simpson T shirts. Absolutely, come on, no

0:46:54.239 --> 0:46:56.520
<v Speaker 1>call you a liar. Yeah, that's what I said, because

0:46:56.680 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 1>because I did say I went my clothes the black way.

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.399
<v Speaker 1>I just it was just it was just New York

0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:03.279
<v Speaker 1>was considered urban, and that's what that's what it was.

0:47:03.320 --> 0:47:05.000
<v Speaker 1>It was. We didn't take it for We didn't take

0:47:05.000 --> 0:47:06.560
<v Speaker 1>it for anything. We didn't take it this disrespect. It

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:09.880
<v Speaker 1>wasn't offensive. That's just that's just where where we were from.

0:47:54.760 --> 0:47:57.200
<v Speaker 1>some comments that he made, he doubles down and he

0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:00.319
<v Speaker 1>gives his views on the police. All right, we'll get

0:48:00.400 --> 0:48:03.640
<v Speaker 1>out there, keep it locked. It's the breakfast club corner

0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:06.200
<v Speaker 1>that we all the breakfast Club. I want to shout

0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:08.440
<v Speaker 1>out to all the protesters out there, man that's been

0:48:08.640 --> 0:48:11.800
<v Speaker 1>on those front lines that's been marching, that's been putting

0:48:11.880 --> 0:48:15.479
<v Speaker 1>up with everything from more police brutality, to tear gas,

0:48:15.640 --> 0:48:20.319
<v Speaker 1>to getting shot with rubber bullets, to the anti protesters

0:48:20.520 --> 0:48:23.360
<v Speaker 1>people screaming at them, spitting on them, and just a

0:48:23.440 --> 0:48:24.960
<v Speaker 1>lot of them stuff, a lot of stuff that's been

0:48:25.000 --> 0:48:26.520
<v Speaker 1>happening to them while they're just trying to get out

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:28.720
<v Speaker 1>there and just peacefully protests. I just want to salute

0:48:28.760 --> 0:48:31.040
<v Speaker 1>to shout out to them over the over the weekends,

0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:35.400
<v Speaker 1>ye Now I want to salute untell freedom. You know

0:48:35.480 --> 0:48:37.279
<v Speaker 1>they had they had a couple of marches this weekend

0:48:37.320 --> 0:48:39.360
<v Speaker 1>in New York, and we have to say big happy

0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:42.879
<v Speaker 1>bond Days. Salute to one of our fearless leaders out

0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:45.600
<v Speaker 1>here in these streets. Queen to Mika Mallory dropped on

0:48:45.640 --> 0:48:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the clue. Absolutely Mallory. Jamica Mallory turned forty today, still

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:53.239
<v Speaker 1>looking for twenty three. Yep. I don't know how she

0:48:53.400 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>looks so stress free with all the bs that she

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 1>got to deal with on a daily basis. But saluted

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 1>to Mika Mallory man absolutely, happy birthday, love and light.

0:49:03.840 --> 0:49:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Happy birthday to Tamika Mallory. Actually yesterday there was a

0:49:06.719 --> 0:49:09.920
<v Speaker 1>zoom call that she put together her and Linda Sarsar

0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:13.680
<v Speaker 1>alongside Alicia Keys and Rhapsody, And this was for a

0:49:13.760 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 1>birthday celebration for Brianna Taylor, and Brianna Taylor's mother was

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:21.000
<v Speaker 1>on and her cousins and her sister and best friends

0:49:21.040 --> 0:49:25.520
<v Speaker 1>and everything. So it was organizing to get some action

0:49:25.640 --> 0:49:28.279
<v Speaker 1>because those police officers that killed her have not been

0:49:28.400 --> 0:49:30.759
<v Speaker 1>charged still, so it was just a way to give

0:49:30.800 --> 0:49:32.719
<v Speaker 1>out more information than we're going to be spreading that

0:49:32.800 --> 0:49:35.640
<v Speaker 1>information starting today. But there were a lot of great

0:49:35.680 --> 0:49:37.439
<v Speaker 1>people on the call, a lot of great suggestions. Cardi

0:49:37.520 --> 0:49:39.719
<v Speaker 1>b was on it, Tracy Ellis Ross was on there,

0:49:40.000 --> 0:49:43.600
<v Speaker 1>Yandy Mona Scott, Young Ellen degenerous was on there. So

0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 1>look forward to carry more of that because I feel

0:49:46.680 --> 0:49:49.480
<v Speaker 1>like for Brianna Taylor, her family has still not gotten answers,

0:49:49.520 --> 0:49:51.600
<v Speaker 1>they haven't gotten justice, and we don't want this to

0:49:51.640 --> 0:49:54.160
<v Speaker 1>be something that just gets swept under the rug. And today,

0:49:54.200 --> 0:49:58.920
<v Speaker 1>for her birthday, she's asking everybody to donate to go

0:49:59.560 --> 0:50:03.880
<v Speaker 1>until until freedom dot com. She's saying, please donate four dollars,

0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:06.480
<v Speaker 1>forty dollars, four hundred dollars. He turns forty today, so

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:09.239
<v Speaker 1>she's saying for her birthday, donate what you can to

0:50:09.360 --> 0:50:11.879
<v Speaker 1>the cause. And she that's her cash app. The cash

0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:15.200
<v Speaker 1>app is untell Freedom and the Venmo is at untel Freedom.

0:50:15.360 --> 0:50:18.640
<v Speaker 1>That's Venmo, right. I don't do venmore, I do cash app. Yes, Yes,

0:50:18.719 --> 0:50:22.080
<v Speaker 1>don donate to all people. Man. Love Tamica, love her.

0:50:22.160 --> 0:50:25.279
<v Speaker 1>She is one of our great black fearless leaders out

0:50:25.320 --> 0:50:27.160
<v Speaker 1>here in the Screech. And we talk about protecting people

0:50:27.160 --> 0:50:30.280
<v Speaker 1>at all costs. No, Tamica Mallory absolutely must be protected

0:50:30.320 --> 0:50:33.359
<v Speaker 1>at all costs, hurt, fooling around with Timica Mallory, Okay,

0:50:33.440 --> 0:50:37.719
<v Speaker 1>dropping the flute bombs for Jamica Mallory. All right, well

0:50:37.760 --> 0:50:41.680
<v Speaker 1>we got rumors all the way. What we're talking about, Yes,

0:50:41.800 --> 0:50:43.800
<v Speaker 1>we are going to be talking about little Wayne and

0:50:44.040 --> 0:50:47.160
<v Speaker 1>some comments that he has tried to clear up. So

0:50:47.280 --> 0:50:49.640
<v Speaker 1>let's see if you have more understanding. All right, we'll

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:52.160
<v Speaker 1>get into that. Next. It's the Breakfast Club comoting. This

0:50:52.560 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 1>is the rumor report with Angela Breakfast Clubs. Will Terry

0:51:02.080 --> 0:51:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Crews tweeted out, defeating white supremacy without white people creates

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.960
<v Speaker 1>black supremacy. Equality is the truth, like it or not.

0:51:09.480 --> 0:51:12.239
<v Speaker 1>We are all in this together, so naturally, I know

0:51:12.440 --> 0:51:14.240
<v Speaker 1>I happen to see that as soon as he posted

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:17.000
<v Speaker 1>it and everybody went in. I knew that was going

0:51:17.040 --> 0:51:19.239
<v Speaker 1>to happen immediately because it just doesn't seem to make

0:51:19.320 --> 0:51:22.480
<v Speaker 1>much sense. It doesn't. I still don't even understand what

0:51:22.520 --> 0:51:24.640
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to say. And once, I mean twice,

0:51:24.880 --> 0:51:28.239
<v Speaker 1>and don't get it. I keep it moving. God, Now

0:51:28.520 --> 0:51:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't even understand what he was trying to say. Yeah,

0:51:30.120 --> 0:51:32.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. God. For you, the comedian said, I

0:51:32.160 --> 0:51:34.320
<v Speaker 1>love you as a as a friend, brother, Terry, but

0:51:34.400 --> 0:51:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I disagree with you one hundred percent. No such thing

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:40.279
<v Speaker 1>as black supremacy. That is a tactic that racist whites

0:51:40.400 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 1>used to counteract our rebellion to the horrific treatment of us.

0:51:43.200 --> 0:51:47.520
<v Speaker 1>It's called gaslighting. Black pride isn't anti white. Terry Crews responded,

0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I'm not discussing white people here. There are

0:51:50.400 --> 0:51:53.080
<v Speaker 1>gatekeepers of blackness within our own community who decide, but

0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:55.600
<v Speaker 1>who's black and who's not. I have often been called

0:51:55.640 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 1>out for not being black enough? How can that be?

0:51:58.960 --> 0:52:02.600
<v Speaker 1>And then Tyler James Williams said, I'm not trying to

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:04.840
<v Speaker 1>call you out, Terry Crews. You know what's all love always,

0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:06.840
<v Speaker 1>But we're rightfully angry right now and fed up with

0:52:06.920 --> 0:52:09.480
<v Speaker 1>anyone not with our cause wholeheartedly. I don't want to

0:52:09.480 --> 0:52:11.359
<v Speaker 1>see that energy point in your way or diverted from

0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:14.320
<v Speaker 1>the cause. And Terry Crews responded, I understand, Tyler. I

0:52:14.520 --> 0:52:17.239
<v Speaker 1>was not saying black supremacy exists, because it doesn't. I

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:19.400
<v Speaker 1>am saying, if both black and whites don't continue to

0:52:19.520 --> 0:52:23.200
<v Speaker 1>work together, bad attitudes and resentments can create a dangerous

0:52:23.200 --> 0:52:26.000
<v Speaker 1>self righteousness, that's all. Then he goes on to say,

0:52:26.000 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 1>any black person who calls me a coon or and

0:52:28.239 --> 0:52:31.759
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Tom for promoting equality is a black supremacist because

0:52:31.800 --> 0:52:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they have determined who's black and who is not. And

0:52:34.960 --> 0:52:37.640
<v Speaker 1>that's why his problem lies. His problem lies with the

0:52:37.680 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>black people who are calling him koon and Uncle Tom.

0:52:40.680 --> 0:52:42.640
<v Speaker 1>So therefore he's mad at them. So it sounds like

0:52:42.719 --> 0:52:47.640
<v Speaker 1>he's going against the whole movement of blackness that's happening

0:52:47.719 --> 0:52:49.520
<v Speaker 1>right now in America. And guess what, you know why

0:52:49.560 --> 0:52:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's happening because we are God's chosen people. This is divine.

0:52:52.640 --> 0:52:55.120
<v Speaker 1>God is given America a chance to do right by

0:52:55.239 --> 0:52:58.839
<v Speaker 1>black people. Get out the way Terry sometimes when people

0:52:58.880 --> 0:53:01.520
<v Speaker 1>do things like that, even to pay him any attention,

0:53:02.040 --> 0:53:05.959
<v Speaker 1>like he's he's had history of going against the grain

0:53:06.080 --> 0:53:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and going against our own grain. It is grain. He

0:53:10.000 --> 0:53:12.120
<v Speaker 1>goes against our own people all the time. And it's

0:53:12.160 --> 0:53:14.080
<v Speaker 1>like it's not surprising to me, like when he went

0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:16.640
<v Speaker 1>against Gabriel Union, like he does this, so it's not

0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's kind of like a whatever Terry crews. I

0:53:19.480 --> 0:53:21.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I can't appreciate the people who are

0:53:21.760 --> 0:53:24.279
<v Speaker 1>friends with him who actually called him out on it,

0:53:24.560 --> 0:53:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to try to explain it to him, because if you

0:53:26.440 --> 0:53:28.520
<v Speaker 1>are a clue with somebody in real life and he

0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:32.120
<v Speaker 1>posts something like that publicly, then you try to explain

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:34.560
<v Speaker 1>to your friend what the problem is with his statements.

0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:39.600
<v Speaker 1>All right. Now, another person who has received backlashes little Wayne,

0:53:40.080 --> 0:53:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and he was explaining his issues and his relationship with

0:53:44.920 --> 0:53:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the police because he has made controversial comments in the

0:53:47.920 --> 0:53:50.880
<v Speaker 1>past and not blaming our police for being bad. So

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:53.080
<v Speaker 1>here's what he had to say. I think when we

0:53:53.239 --> 0:53:56.120
<v Speaker 1>see these situations, I think we also have to understand

0:53:56.200 --> 0:53:58.239
<v Speaker 1>that we have to we have to get very specific.

0:53:58.360 --> 0:54:02.040
<v Speaker 1>We have to stop placing the blame on the whole

0:54:02.160 --> 0:54:05.520
<v Speaker 1>force and the whole everybody of such a certain certain race,

0:54:06.080 --> 0:54:08.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody with a bad and we have to actually get

0:54:08.640 --> 0:54:10.840
<v Speaker 1>into who that person is. And if we want to

0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:13.680
<v Speaker 1>place to blame on anybody, it should be ourselves. But

0:54:13.800 --> 0:54:16.520
<v Speaker 1>not doing more than where we think we're doing, all right.

0:54:16.600 --> 0:54:20.520
<v Speaker 1>So he had this experienced personally with a police officer.

0:54:20.600 --> 0:54:22.319
<v Speaker 1>And here's more of what Little Wayne had to say

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:24.879
<v Speaker 1>to explain his take in and what he was trying

0:54:24.920 --> 0:54:26.719
<v Speaker 1>to say. When he was saying that we want to

0:54:26.719 --> 0:54:29.160
<v Speaker 1>place to blame on anybody, it should be ourselves for

0:54:29.320 --> 0:54:31.960
<v Speaker 1>not doing more than what we think we're doing. My

0:54:32.080 --> 0:54:35.520
<v Speaker 1>life was saved when I was young, shot myself. I

0:54:35.680 --> 0:54:39.120
<v Speaker 1>was saved by a white cop, Uncle Bob. So you

0:54:39.239 --> 0:54:41.440
<v Speaker 1>have to understand from death, for you have to understand

0:54:41.480 --> 0:54:44.279
<v Speaker 1>the way our view police period. There was a bunch

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:46.279
<v Speaker 1>of black cops jumped over me when they saw me

0:54:46.360 --> 0:54:48.359
<v Speaker 1>at that door, laying on the floor with that hole

0:54:48.400 --> 0:54:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in my chest. He refused to No, wheezy, I highly disagree.

0:54:52.280 --> 0:54:54.560
<v Speaker 1>You gotta put it on the whole system. Why because

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:57.040
<v Speaker 1>one bad apple spoils a bunch and one good apple

0:54:57.080 --> 0:54:59.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make make a bunch of rotten apples better. Those

0:54:59.640 --> 0:55:02.040
<v Speaker 1>police officers are a part of system of white supremacy.

0:55:02.080 --> 0:55:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And to tell that system is dismantled, nothing is going

0:55:04.520 --> 0:55:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to change. And little Wayne is also a freestyler. And

0:55:07.640 --> 0:55:09.800
<v Speaker 1>when he's talking, he starts off and it sounds like

0:55:09.840 --> 0:55:11.400
<v Speaker 1>it's about to be a good point, and then it

0:55:11.480 --> 0:55:16.359
<v Speaker 1>just goes somewhere else. And that's what would see these

0:55:16.480 --> 0:55:18.680
<v Speaker 1>long rants. When he said we need to blame ourselves,

0:55:18.760 --> 0:55:20.839
<v Speaker 1>that's that's when I was. That's it didn't make any

0:55:20.840 --> 0:55:23.040
<v Speaker 1>sense to me blame myself for what for being abused?

0:55:23.360 --> 0:55:25.320
<v Speaker 1>But I will say what he did say was and

0:55:25.400 --> 0:55:28.239
<v Speaker 1>probably what he meant was all officers aren't bad. And

0:55:28.320 --> 0:55:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I've been hearing people say, well, you know they work

0:55:30.680 --> 0:55:36.719
<v Speaker 1>for this, this, this, Yeah, exactly. But we encourage more

0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and more African American and more and more brothers to

0:55:38.920 --> 0:55:42.000
<v Speaker 1>be police officers to help and right, is that what

0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:44.680
<v Speaker 1>we do? No, No, we encourage people to become an

0:55:44.719 --> 0:55:46.680
<v Speaker 1>officer and stay in our community and do the right

0:55:46.760 --> 0:55:49.800
<v Speaker 1>thing for our community. Is that feel encouraged to be

0:55:49.920 --> 0:55:52.120
<v Speaker 1>officers because people also look at you if you become

0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:54.879
<v Speaker 1>a police officer like you know, that's hard because we're

0:55:54.920 --> 0:55:56.719
<v Speaker 1>taught not to trust the police officers. And we do

0:55:56.840 --> 0:55:59.839
<v Speaker 1>need to encourage more of our people to become great

0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:01.839
<v Speaker 1>police officers. And that's what I thought. We were trying

0:56:01.880 --> 0:56:04.040
<v Speaker 1>to encourage our people to become great officers and come

0:56:04.040 --> 0:56:06.759
<v Speaker 1>back to our community where we know people and know

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:08.440
<v Speaker 1>how to talk to our community and know how to

0:56:08.520 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 1>be in our community. That's what I thought we were encouraging. Yeah,

0:56:11.239 --> 0:56:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but you know what, that's good, But you got to

0:56:13.000 --> 0:56:15.840
<v Speaker 1>get in there and actually try to dismanter that system

0:56:15.840 --> 0:56:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of white supremacy, which a lot of them don't do

0:56:17.680 --> 0:56:20.680
<v Speaker 1>because they go in and they automatically adopt that that

0:56:20.840 --> 0:56:22.880
<v Speaker 1>blue wall of silence. You know what I'm saying, When

0:56:22.920 --> 0:56:25.279
<v Speaker 1>things happen like you know, Big George Floyd, if you

0:56:25.360 --> 0:56:27.520
<v Speaker 1>think that's wrong, as a police officer, you should be

0:56:27.560 --> 0:56:29.560
<v Speaker 1>able to speak out on that without fear of any

0:56:29.640 --> 0:56:31.680
<v Speaker 1>repercussions from the unit that you're a part of. You

0:56:31.760 --> 0:56:34.399
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean? Absolutely, and tell the Tell and tell.

0:56:34.440 --> 0:56:36.640
<v Speaker 1>They're not afraid to do that to me. They just

0:56:36.800 --> 0:56:39.640
<v Speaker 1>all part of a bad system because, like I said,

0:56:39.880 --> 0:56:42.640
<v Speaker 1>one bad apple spoils a bunch, but I've never seen

0:56:42.760 --> 0:56:45.040
<v Speaker 1>one good apple make a bunch of rotten apples better.

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:49.120
<v Speaker 1>All right now, Serena Williams husband, Alexis Ohanian, and you

0:56:49.239 --> 0:56:52.200
<v Speaker 1>also know him as the co founder and executive chairman

0:56:52.280 --> 0:56:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of Reddit, is stepping down from the board. He wants

0:56:55.160 --> 0:56:58.439
<v Speaker 1>to make the world better for his daughter Olympia. Here's

0:56:58.480 --> 0:56:59.960
<v Speaker 1>what he had to say and who he wants to

0:57:00.120 --> 0:57:03.440
<v Speaker 1>replace him. Fifteen years ago, I cofounded Reddit as a

0:57:03.520 --> 0:57:06.760
<v Speaker 1>place for people to find community and a sense of belonging.

0:57:07.080 --> 0:57:10.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm doing this for me, for my family, and for

0:57:10.600 --> 0:57:14.279
<v Speaker 1>my country. I'm saying this as a father who needs

0:57:14.320 --> 0:57:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to be able to answer his black daughter when she

0:57:17.040 --> 0:57:21.680
<v Speaker 1>asks what did you do? So I have resigned as

0:57:21.720 --> 0:57:24.400
<v Speaker 1>a member of the Reddit board. I've urged them to

0:57:24.640 --> 0:57:27.760
<v Speaker 1>fill my seat with a black candidate, and I will

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>use future gains on my reddit stock to serve the

0:57:31.760 --> 0:57:35.560
<v Speaker 1>black community, chiefly to curb racial hate. And I'm starting

0:57:35.600 --> 0:57:38.440
<v Speaker 1>with a pledge of one million dollars to Colin Kaepernick's

0:57:38.600 --> 0:57:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Know Your Rights Camp. That's very honorable, right. His donation

0:57:43.520 --> 0:57:46.720
<v Speaker 1>has stepping down is making sure that as a black

0:57:46.760 --> 0:57:48.560
<v Speaker 1>person is going to come in and be on that

0:57:48.680 --> 0:57:52.480
<v Speaker 1>board in his place. All of these things are important steps,

0:57:52.520 --> 0:57:55.640
<v Speaker 1>and other companies should be making sure that their diversity

0:57:55.960 --> 0:58:02.840
<v Speaker 1>is a front and center. Yep, donkey today, and that

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:05.160
<v Speaker 1>is your room report who you're giving that donkey too?

0:58:05.720 --> 0:58:07.400
<v Speaker 1>I need Roger Goodell to come to the front of

0:58:07.440 --> 0:58:09.960
<v Speaker 1>the congregation because this is an opportunity to teach about

0:58:10.200 --> 0:58:12.680
<v Speaker 1>what's just what's going on out here in corporate America

0:58:12.680 --> 0:58:15.440
<v Speaker 1>and what we expect from corporate America moving forward. All Right,

0:58:15.480 --> 0:58:16.960
<v Speaker 1>we'll get into that next. Keep a lot of this

0:58:17.040 --> 0:58:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to breakfast club. Good Morning's time for donkey of the Day, Democrat.

0:58:26.040 --> 0:58:28.240
<v Speaker 1>So being dunky of the day, a little bit of

0:58:28.280 --> 0:58:36.080
<v Speaker 1>a mix like a dope the other day. Now, I've

0:58:36.120 --> 0:58:38.000
<v Speaker 1>been called a lot of my twenty three years, but

0:58:38.160 --> 0:58:41.480
<v Speaker 1>donkey other day is a new wife. Donkey today for Monday,

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:44.600
<v Speaker 1>June eighth goes to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Now, if

0:58:44.600 --> 0:58:46.600
<v Speaker 1>you look around the world, you have a bunch of

0:58:46.680 --> 0:58:48.480
<v Speaker 1>white people who are going out of their way to

0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:51.360
<v Speaker 1>prove that they love black people and not just black coaching.

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:55.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, everybody wants to have conversations about ridding the

0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:58.080
<v Speaker 1>world of systemic racism. Everyone wants to discuss creating a

0:58:58.160 --> 0:59:01.280
<v Speaker 1>new system because we all noticed of white supremacy does

0:59:01.600 --> 0:59:05.320
<v Speaker 1>not work for everybody. Look, I'm on record saying, you know,

0:59:05.440 --> 0:59:07.840
<v Speaker 1>ain't no good gonna come to America until they do

0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:12.400
<v Speaker 1>right by black people. Period. Pooh. God has given America

0:59:12.400 --> 0:59:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity. The right is wrongs. God has given America

0:59:15.520 --> 0:59:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity to reverse his bad karma. So I'm not

0:59:17.880 --> 0:59:20.080
<v Speaker 1>upset at the white folks and white companies I see

0:59:20.560 --> 0:59:24.520
<v Speaker 1>tweeting and posting memes, doing videos like Roger Goodell did,

0:59:24.520 --> 0:59:26.680
<v Speaker 1>because Roger Goodell has the right idea. Because one of

0:59:26.720 --> 0:59:30.000
<v Speaker 1>the first ways to reverse bad karma is to write

0:59:30.040 --> 0:59:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a letter or call those who you have wronged in

0:59:32.560 --> 0:59:36.479
<v Speaker 1>the past. So that's a good first step for Roger. Okay,

0:59:36.480 --> 0:59:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna let you hear what Roger had to say,

0:59:38.200 --> 0:59:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and then I'm gonna use Roger Goodell as a moment

0:59:40.280 --> 0:59:43.640
<v Speaker 1>to teach because these white folks at these corporations need teaching.

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear it. We the National Football League, condemn racism

0:59:48.320 --> 0:59:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and the systematic oppression of black people. We the National

0:59:52.040 --> 0:59:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to

0:59:54.880 --> 0:59:58.520
<v Speaker 1>NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and

0:59:58.720 --> 1:00:04.439
<v Speaker 1>peacefully protests. Read the National Football League believe black lives matter.

1:00:04.960 --> 1:00:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I personally protest with you and want to be part

1:00:08.080 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>of the much needed change in this country. Without black players,

1:00:12.240 --> 1:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>there would be no National Football League, and the protests

1:00:14.920 --> 1:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>around the country are emblematic of the centuries of silence, inequality,

1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>and oppression of black players, coaches, fans, and staff. We

1:00:25.400 --> 1:00:28.600
<v Speaker 1>are listening. I am listening, and I will be reaching

1:00:28.640 --> 1:00:32.240
<v Speaker 1>out to players who have raised their voices and others

1:00:32.280 --> 1:00:34.720
<v Speaker 1>on how we can improve and go forward for a

1:00:34.840 --> 1:00:38.160
<v Speaker 1>better and more united NFL family. Well, the first player

1:00:38.200 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>he has to reach out to is Kylin Kaepernick. If

1:00:40.320 --> 1:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't do that, it's a half ass apology. You

1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.600
<v Speaker 1>have to personally apologize to Kylin Kaepernick. You also have

1:00:45.680 --> 1:00:49.439
<v Speaker 1>to admit that he was blackballed. And if it wasn't

1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>a strategic intentional black ball when they noticed no owners

1:00:52.680 --> 1:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>were attempting to sign him, nobody at the top intervene

1:00:56.400 --> 1:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to say that's wrong. Make sure he plays. Okay, I

1:01:00.080 --> 1:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>got a question for the NFL. How many black people

1:01:02.720 --> 1:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Board of directors of the NFL. There's only

1:01:05.000 --> 1:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>one black GM in the NFL. The NFL got three

1:01:07.160 --> 1:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>black coaches, zero black owners, but players make up over

1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:12.960
<v Speaker 1>seven deep percent of the league. Seven percent of the league,

1:01:13.000 --> 1:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>but zero percent of the ownership. If you want to

1:01:15.320 --> 1:01:18.520
<v Speaker 1>dismant to white supremacy, you want to change systemic racism,

1:01:18.720 --> 1:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>how about this mantle that good old boy mentality in

1:01:21.320 --> 1:01:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the NFL. Roger Goodell not to mention, I don't like

1:01:24.160 --> 1:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>people getting no lightbulb moments in the NFL because Colin

1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Kaepernick rarely talks. But he talked at the beginning of

1:01:30.480 --> 1:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>this peaceful protests a few years ago, and he told

1:01:32.680 --> 1:01:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you exactly why he was protesting. So no way Roger

1:01:35.760 --> 1:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Goodell or anyone else in the NFL could have missed that.

1:01:38.400 --> 1:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's hear what Colin had to say for a million time,

1:01:41.800 --> 1:01:44.680
<v Speaker 1>because I finally think y'all are listening. I mean, ultimately

1:01:44.880 --> 1:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>is to bring awareness and make people, you know, realize

1:01:48.360 --> 1:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>what's really going on in this country. There are a

1:01:50.440 --> 1:01:52.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of things that are going on that are unjust.

1:01:52.440 --> 1:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>People aren't being held accountable for and that's something that

1:01:56.320 --> 1:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>needs to change. That's something that you know, this country

1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:03.360
<v Speaker 1>stands for freedom, liberty, justice for all, and it's not

1:02:03.480 --> 1:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>happening for all right now when they're significant change and

1:02:06.680 --> 1:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that flag represents who are supposed to represent,

1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and this country is representing people the way that's supposed

1:02:13.000 --> 1:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to I'll stand. There's a lot of things that need

1:02:15.800 --> 1:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to change. One specifically, it's police brutality. There's people being

1:02:19.520 --> 1:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>murdered unjustly and not being held accountable. You know, I

1:02:22.960 --> 1:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>have great respect for men and women that have fought

1:02:25.080 --> 1:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>for this country. I have family, I have friends that

1:02:27.040 --> 1:02:29.600
<v Speaker 1>have gone and fought for this country, and they fight

1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>for freedom, they fight for the people, They fight for

1:02:32.280 --> 1:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>liberty and justice for everyone, and that's not happening. Simple, simple,

1:02:37.960 --> 1:02:39.800
<v Speaker 1>And for the record, if you wonder why black people

1:02:39.880 --> 1:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>have a problem with patriotism, it's because we know the

1:02:42.320 --> 1:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>creeds in America don't fully relate to us. Freedom, justice, equality.

1:02:46.080 --> 1:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>That's not fully for black people, liberty and justice for all. Nope,

1:02:49.320 --> 1:02:51.880
<v Speaker 1>it's liberty and justice for white folks. We know that.

1:02:52.160 --> 1:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>So how can you expect us to feel patriotic when

1:02:54.320 --> 1:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>this country has shown us time and time again that

1:02:56.640 --> 1:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the rules for white America don't apply to Black America.

1:02:59.360 --> 1:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not here to talk about that right now.

1:03:01.920 --> 1:03:03.920
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the NFL and all other

1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:08.080
<v Speaker 1>corporations in this country. If you are a corporation screaming

1:03:08.160 --> 1:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Black lives matter, screaming that you want to disman a

1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>white supremacy, that you want tobol a systemic racism, or

1:03:13.480 --> 1:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>then pop the hood. Let's see what's in this engine,

1:03:16.440 --> 1:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>because if there's no black parts underneath that engine making

1:03:19.960 --> 1:03:23.520
<v Speaker 1>that car go, then you are a liar. Okay. If

1:03:23.880 --> 1:03:26.600
<v Speaker 1>you love, if your love for blackness isn't reflected in

1:03:26.720 --> 1:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>your place of business, then all these corporations are full

1:03:30.120 --> 1:03:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of it. Okay, your corporation is full of it. If

1:03:33.000 --> 1:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>your love of so called blackness isn't reflected in your

1:03:35.880 --> 1:03:38.439
<v Speaker 1>place of business, all right, don't scream black lives matter

1:03:38.640 --> 1:03:41.040
<v Speaker 1>if you don't have a lot of black hires, okay,

1:03:41.440 --> 1:03:43.840
<v Speaker 1>using the hashtag black Lives matter is great? Or what

1:03:43.960 --> 1:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>type of black economic opportunities are you providing for black people?

1:03:47.960 --> 1:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>We don't need. I love black people. Tweets and memes

1:03:50.240 --> 1:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>and videos. Those are great. They make us feel good.

1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>But what about things that make us actually good? Okay?

1:03:56.320 --> 1:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I love seeing massive donations. I want to see more

1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>massive donation from these corporations with no scrings attached. All right,

1:04:02.840 --> 1:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm about all that from these corporations. But if you

1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:07.600
<v Speaker 1>have a corporation and you know Dan Well, your business

1:04:07.680 --> 1:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't reflect the Black Lives Matter stuff you're preaching, then

1:04:10.720 --> 1:04:13.360
<v Speaker 1>shut the f up forever. Okay. Don't let Black Lives

1:04:13.480 --> 1:04:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Matter turn to Black lives marketing for some of these corporations,

1:04:18.120 --> 1:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>because that's all it is. This is marketing and promo

1:04:20.840 --> 1:04:22.959
<v Speaker 1>for so many of these companies. But we're not gonna

1:04:23.000 --> 1:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>let you'all tweet and just walk away. We got questions.

1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:27.440
<v Speaker 1>How many black people work at your place of business?

1:04:27.880 --> 1:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>How many black people have seen your roles in your company?

1:04:30.200 --> 1:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>How many black people on your board? What did your

1:04:32.400 --> 1:04:36.040
<v Speaker 1>black representation look like? I personally feel like if black

1:04:36.120 --> 1:04:38.840
<v Speaker 1>people make up thirteen percent of the population, we should

1:04:38.880 --> 1:04:44.280
<v Speaker 1>have thirteen percent representation in all industries via equity ownership involvement.

1:04:44.440 --> 1:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you have black people at your company who are

1:04:46.280 --> 1:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>outperforming the white people, but the white people still make

1:04:48.760 --> 1:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>more money than the black people? Why is that? Until

1:04:51.880 --> 1:04:55.440
<v Speaker 1>that changes in these corporations, then guess what corporations you

1:04:55.560 --> 1:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>are still practicing systemic racism? Period. Please give these corporations

1:05:03.080 --> 1:05:09.720
<v Speaker 1>and Roger Goodell the biggest he Hall. You can't even

1:05:09.840 --> 1:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>use the term unconscious bias no more. You can't use

1:05:12.280 --> 1:05:15.320
<v Speaker 1>that term anymore because you are awake. You are conscious.

1:05:15.360 --> 1:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>You are very aware of what's happening out here in

1:05:18.000 --> 1:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>these creeks, and you want to change things simply look

1:05:20.800 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>at your highest simplest that white America. All right, well,

1:05:25.880 --> 1:05:30.280
<v Speaker 1>thank you for that donkey today. Oh, yes, ma'am, thank you, brother, Yes, ma'am,

1:05:30.320 --> 1:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>thank you brother. What is that? What is that? I

1:05:33.760 --> 1:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>was trying to confuse you. That's all doing a good job.

1:05:36.600 --> 1:05:39.680
<v Speaker 1>All right. When we come back, we have three brothers

1:05:39.720 --> 1:05:43.280
<v Speaker 1>that are calling in there from the Black Man Survival Guy.

1:05:43.880 --> 1:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>We have Phil Agnew, Steve Pargett, and Teff All right,

1:05:47.560 --> 1:05:49.280
<v Speaker 1>we'll talk to him when we come back to Don't Move.

1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club, DJ

1:05:55.720 --> 1:05:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast

1:05:59.120 --> 1:06:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Club on the phone, LUNs Right now, we got some

1:06:02.120 --> 1:06:05.600
<v Speaker 1>brothers from the Black Men Survival guid. We have Phil Agnew,

1:06:05.680 --> 1:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Steve Pargett and to God damn it, we need that

1:06:09.200 --> 1:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>right now. Tell us what that is. The initiative is

1:06:12.000 --> 1:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>called black Men Build, and Black Men Build is a

1:06:14.840 --> 1:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>place for Black men and engage in the world as

1:06:17.480 --> 1:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>an organized force this year and moving forward, and so

1:06:21.360 --> 1:06:25.080
<v Speaker 1>under the realization that black men face we say a

1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:28.880
<v Speaker 1>million ways to die in this country, from natural disease

1:06:28.920 --> 1:06:32.640
<v Speaker 1>to unnatural disease. Right, the Survival Guide is what we're

1:06:32.640 --> 1:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be hitting the streets with beginning next week and

1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>moving on. And we're officially launching on Monday. So can

1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:40.680
<v Speaker 1>you tell us how the Survival Guy was put together?

1:06:41.040 --> 1:06:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm interested to hear just the whole process of it.

1:06:43.880 --> 1:06:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Over the past couple of months, there's been over a

1:06:47.000 --> 1:06:49.360
<v Speaker 1>dozen black men you know. Black Men Bill represents a

1:06:49.600 --> 1:06:54.160
<v Speaker 1>wide group of us that our community, organizers, artists, creatives

1:06:54.280 --> 1:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>and people that are coming together to grapple with issues

1:06:57.040 --> 1:07:00.280
<v Speaker 1>that are challenging black men today. And you know, we

1:07:00.400 --> 1:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>started this project in the midst of COVID, So we

1:07:03.280 --> 1:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>began by putting together a guide for community safety while

1:07:07.760 --> 1:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>we're facing a global health pandemic um well at the

1:07:11.120 --> 1:07:12.720
<v Speaker 1>same time, we know that we're dealing with a number

1:07:12.720 --> 1:07:16.760
<v Speaker 1>of different issues, including police violence. So the Black Men

1:07:16.840 --> 1:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Survival Guide is, uh, you know, a lot of painstaking

1:07:19.920 --> 1:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>work by brothers that are coming together to put together

1:07:22.360 --> 1:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>something that could be really useful in this time where

1:07:26.040 --> 1:07:29.919
<v Speaker 1>we're not only facing a pandemic of you know, health

1:07:30.760 --> 1:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>and economic but also police violence. So you know what

1:07:34.120 --> 1:07:35.720
<v Speaker 1>you're going to see when we put out the Survival

1:07:35.760 --> 1:07:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Guide is a guide that talks about how we can

1:07:39.000 --> 1:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>be safe during COVID, but it also talks about our

1:07:42.280 --> 1:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>mental and spiritual wellness and community defense and safety because

1:07:47.120 --> 1:07:49.080
<v Speaker 1>in times like right now, all that we have is

1:07:49.280 --> 1:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>us in our communities and we're trying to get on

1:07:51.520 --> 1:07:53.600
<v Speaker 1>one accord right now, what do you think the building

1:07:53.680 --> 1:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>blocks are for the perfect plant to achieve unity and

1:07:58.800 --> 1:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>equality and frost verity for black people in America. I

1:08:03.200 --> 1:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>think in our case, what we're trying to achieve is

1:08:05.880 --> 1:08:08.720
<v Speaker 1>just a little bit of alignment. Um. I think a

1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:10.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of times why a lot of projects like this

1:08:10.720 --> 1:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>fail is because people let the brothers that put it

1:08:13.560 --> 1:08:16.680
<v Speaker 1>together that the people Martin Luther Kingdom or Malcolm X them,

1:08:17.360 --> 1:08:19.880
<v Speaker 1>and you start to try to play a performative role,

1:08:19.920 --> 1:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>a theatrical role that that doesn't service the people. Know yourself.

1:08:23.680 --> 1:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think, with us, what we're trying to do,

1:08:25.479 --> 1:08:27.240
<v Speaker 1>we're not trying to come at it and say that

1:08:27.400 --> 1:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>we did all the alchemy and the political science worthy

1:08:30.560 --> 1:08:33.560
<v Speaker 1>of solving the equation. We're just saying it with some

1:08:33.680 --> 1:08:36.400
<v Speaker 1>black men who came together that are at least trying,

1:08:36.479 --> 1:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>and we're inviting other black men across the plethora of identities,

1:08:41.200 --> 1:08:44.559
<v Speaker 1>from the Moors to the Hebrews, from the flat Earthers

1:08:44.680 --> 1:08:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to the the universe doesn't exist. I went all of us.

1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>We understand man, that there's like so many different universes

1:08:58.200 --> 1:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>which your brothers coexist and all all too often when

1:09:00.840 --> 1:09:04.360
<v Speaker 1>we try to come together, our identity filibuses to plant.

1:09:04.520 --> 1:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>So we're just saying, hey, we want some aligns. Now.

1:09:06.760 --> 1:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not it shouldn't just be about survival though, right

1:09:09.240 --> 1:09:11.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a shame that we have to think about just surviving,

1:09:11.600 --> 1:09:14.920
<v Speaker 1>because it should be about thriving also, And I think

1:09:14.960 --> 1:09:17.559
<v Speaker 1>it sucks that you have to teach kids now how

1:09:17.600 --> 1:09:19.960
<v Speaker 1>to go out and even be able to come back home.

1:09:20.520 --> 1:09:22.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, that's a day and age that we live in,

1:09:22.320 --> 1:09:24.400
<v Speaker 1>and some people don't understand that. I was telling the

1:09:24.479 --> 1:09:27.920
<v Speaker 1>story about a comedian, a stand up comic who was

1:09:27.920 --> 1:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about Dave Chappelle and how Dave Chappelle had to

1:09:30.000 --> 1:09:34.000
<v Speaker 1>explain to a white woman in the audience about police

1:09:34.040 --> 1:09:36.320
<v Speaker 1>brutality because some people just don't understand it. You know.

1:09:36.360 --> 1:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>We interviewed Russia Limbaugh the other day and he doesn't

1:09:39.320 --> 1:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>think that white supremacism exists. So what do you say

1:09:43.120 --> 1:09:46.040
<v Speaker 1>about not just surviving but also thriving. Do you think

1:09:46.080 --> 1:09:47.920
<v Speaker 1>that we first have to start with just even being

1:09:48.000 --> 1:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>able to make it home? You know, I mean first

1:09:50.360 --> 1:09:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and foremost. I don't think anything that Russia Limball says

1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:56.479
<v Speaker 1>occupies any space in our mind right because Russia Limball

1:09:56.560 --> 1:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>has a particular purpose in the world. He occupies a

1:09:59.479 --> 1:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>space in world that is about convincing the world that

1:10:04.120 --> 1:10:08.080
<v Speaker 1>we gaslighting all of us, right, that what we experience historically,

1:10:08.160 --> 1:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>what we experience every day when we leave the house

1:10:10.120 --> 1:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>is not real. So it is sad and to look

1:10:12.120 --> 1:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that we got to start with survival. But we are

1:10:14.920 --> 1:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>of the belief that when we start with an alignment right,

1:10:17.960 --> 1:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>with an understanding of the current context and conditions that

1:10:20.600 --> 1:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we're all living under right, that no matter what you

1:10:23.400 --> 1:10:26.759
<v Speaker 1>believe in the world, whether it's flatter, whether you believe

1:10:26.880 --> 1:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>that we are the original man, which we are, but

1:10:29.479 --> 1:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever your belief is, we all live in the country

1:10:32.680 --> 1:10:34.760
<v Speaker 1>that says, no matter what you believe in your head,

1:10:34.920 --> 1:10:36.800
<v Speaker 1>what I see it in my eyes on your skin

1:10:37.200 --> 1:10:39.600
<v Speaker 1>is deadly. And so we wanted to start at a

1:10:39.640 --> 1:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>place where we say, yeah, it is survival, but we

1:10:42.200 --> 1:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>are getting on the same page so we can engage

1:10:44.360 --> 1:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in the world as an organized force. And right now,

1:10:47.280 --> 1:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>the Russia umballs the white supremacists of the world. They

1:10:49.840 --> 1:10:53.639
<v Speaker 1>benefit from us being scattered on the sidelines watching while

1:10:53.680 --> 1:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>the world is moving right, we're being used as pawns.

1:10:57.040 --> 1:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>The black men are being used as pawns right against ourselves,

1:11:01.360 --> 1:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>against our lovers, against our wives, against our communities. And

1:11:04.960 --> 1:11:07.320
<v Speaker 1>so this is an insertion in the world that says, look,

1:11:07.720 --> 1:11:09.719
<v Speaker 1>let's get on the same page about where we stand

1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>right about where we are, and then let's plot on

1:11:12.960 --> 1:11:15.040
<v Speaker 1>how we move forward from here. How do we get

1:11:15.080 --> 1:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>on that same page? Well, real quick, the first thing

1:11:17.680 --> 1:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>we're sending out on we've been sending it out for

1:11:19.640 --> 1:11:22.960
<v Speaker 1>the whole week, is our value statement. Right. We believe

1:11:23.360 --> 1:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>that a core of any organization, whether it be n Y,

1:11:26.200 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>whether it be a street organization, whether it be a church,

1:11:29.520 --> 1:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>as we start to agree on what our values are right,

1:11:32.600 --> 1:11:34.760
<v Speaker 1>And so we've been sending around that link it right now,

1:11:34.840 --> 1:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>we got over a thousand people black men who have

1:11:36.920 --> 1:11:39.720
<v Speaker 1>signed onto the values. And once you built that core

1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:42.519
<v Speaker 1>of values, then you can move forward because at least

1:11:42.560 --> 1:11:45.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a trust built that says, at least I know

1:11:45.600 --> 1:11:48.439
<v Speaker 1>that this brother next to me, it sees the world

1:11:48.520 --> 1:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and values the world and the way that I do.

1:11:50.439 --> 1:11:52.240
<v Speaker 1>And so we've been sending that out and we want

1:11:52.280 --> 1:11:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and encourage brothers to go to that link to be

1:11:54.479 --> 1:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>able to sign onto the value statement. That's the first step.

1:11:58.160 --> 1:12:01.479
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting what you say, because like Donald Trump is

1:12:01.600 --> 1:12:05.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to make a play to black men, like you know,

1:12:05.120 --> 1:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, he knows he doesn't have a shot with

1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>it with the queens, but he's trying to make a

1:12:08.320 --> 1:12:11.560
<v Speaker 1>play for black men in November. Why why do you

1:12:11.640 --> 1:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>think that? Why you think he's talking in black men specifically,

1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:17.439
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump has been had a plan for black men

1:12:17.520 --> 1:12:20.920
<v Speaker 1>for twenty thirty years. He's ingratiated himself in the hip

1:12:21.000 --> 1:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>hop culture. He puts forward a level of masculinity and

1:12:24.479 --> 1:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>gangsterism that a lot of black men who grow up

1:12:27.760 --> 1:12:30.519
<v Speaker 1>in America they love that. They love the fact that

1:12:30.640 --> 1:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>he runs and he moves the way that he does.

1:12:33.320 --> 1:12:36.040
<v Speaker 1>And not least of which, the Democratic Party has never

1:12:36.160 --> 1:12:39.160
<v Speaker 1>offered a viable option for black for the black community.

1:12:39.360 --> 1:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>And so for me, what Donald Trump represents that somebody

1:12:42.120 --> 1:12:44.360
<v Speaker 1>who has done a focus group on black men for

1:12:44.520 --> 1:12:48.879
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirty years, through TV, through music, through his public persona,

1:12:49.200 --> 1:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and he believes that black men aren't critical thinkers enough.

1:12:53.000 --> 1:12:55.240
<v Speaker 1>That's what it is. It's not that he respects black men.

1:12:55.439 --> 1:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>He believes that black men are foolhardy enough to believe

1:12:58.439 --> 1:13:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that his personal persona, it's actually going to get them

1:13:01.040 --> 1:13:03.479
<v Speaker 1>to vote against their self, enterest vote against black women,

1:13:03.560 --> 1:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>vote against the black community, vote against their kids. And

1:13:06.400 --> 1:13:08.720
<v Speaker 1>so I think that's the central thing. It's based on

1:13:09.240 --> 1:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>the fundamental belief that black men are fools and that

1:13:12.800 --> 1:13:17.320
<v Speaker 1>all we care about is all we care about is money, right,

1:13:17.600 --> 1:13:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and that's and those are the things. All we care

1:13:19.680 --> 1:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>about is braggadocio and that's what he tries to represent.

1:13:22.520 --> 1:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And so it's important for us to make sure that

1:13:24.520 --> 1:13:27.000
<v Speaker 1>we are not used as pawns against ourselves and against

1:13:27.040 --> 1:13:28.920
<v Speaker 1>our people like we have been. And now all of

1:13:29.040 --> 1:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>us is bad. That's you know, we wouldn't be doing

1:13:31.680 --> 1:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>this if we thought that. But the fact is, we

1:13:34.400 --> 1:13:36.639
<v Speaker 1>have to engage in the world as an organized force.

1:13:36.680 --> 1:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>We've got to unite in a way that we have

1:13:38.840 --> 1:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>not in a generation. All Right, we got more with

1:13:41.120 --> 1:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Phil Agnew Steve Pargett in tenth when we come back,

1:13:44.320 --> 1:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>So don't move. It's to Breakfast Club comornis morning. Everybody

1:13:48.240 --> 1:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomne the God. We all

1:13:51.960 --> 1:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the Breakfast Club. Now. We got some brothers from the

1:13:54.680 --> 1:13:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Black Men Survival Guy joining us this morning, Phil Agnew,

1:13:58.120 --> 1:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Steve Pargett inteff. What kind of conversations are you guys

1:14:01.760 --> 1:14:03.760
<v Speaker 1>having behind the scenes when it comes to voting in

1:14:03.800 --> 1:14:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming election. We gotta do what we gotta do.

1:14:07.040 --> 1:14:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna steal something from our sister Dereka Purnell, who's

1:14:10.040 --> 1:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>an incredible writer, a lawyer, comes out of Ferguson. This

1:14:13.200 --> 1:14:15.519
<v Speaker 1>is the last dance. We gotta do what we gotta

1:14:15.600 --> 1:14:18.960
<v Speaker 1>do this year. Our strategy as a black people for

1:14:19.080 --> 1:14:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the next generation cannot afford to have four more years

1:14:22.960 --> 1:14:26.479
<v Speaker 1>of Donald Trump running amuck in our country. Right on

1:14:26.640 --> 1:14:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the other side, you have somebody who doesn't offer that

1:14:29.479 --> 1:14:33.759
<v Speaker 1>much greater, but it's a different terrain. And we cannot

1:14:33.840 --> 1:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>continue to not think critically and say that these two

1:14:37.479 --> 1:14:39.560
<v Speaker 1>people are the same. And you all, I think to

1:14:39.680 --> 1:14:41.800
<v Speaker 1>a degree at least Charlemagne, you know where I stand

1:14:41.920 --> 1:14:46.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Democrats as well, right, But we also cannot

1:14:46.320 --> 1:14:50.320
<v Speaker 1>fool ourselves, Angela into believing that these two people present

1:14:50.640 --> 1:14:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the same terrain for us to operate on. And the

1:14:53.880 --> 1:14:56.599
<v Speaker 1>candidate over on the other side, who I'm not gonna say,

1:14:56.680 --> 1:14:58.400
<v Speaker 1>neither one of their names, but the candidate on the

1:14:58.479 --> 1:15:02.640
<v Speaker 1>other side of Donald of the Republican candidate, provides a

1:15:02.800 --> 1:15:05.680
<v Speaker 1>different terrain for us to operate and for us to

1:15:05.880 --> 1:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>organize on. And it's the last dance. It's the last

1:15:08.240 --> 1:15:11.480
<v Speaker 1>time that we're going to engage in an election nationally locally, statewide,

1:15:11.520 --> 1:15:13.840
<v Speaker 1>if we're organized that we're going to have to choose

1:15:13.920 --> 1:15:17.080
<v Speaker 1>between that and that. Yeah, I think that we can't

1:15:17.080 --> 1:15:19.920
<v Speaker 1>afford four more years of white supremacy. And I think

1:15:20.000 --> 1:15:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that one of the candidates, one of the candidates, if

1:15:23.080 --> 1:15:27.800
<v Speaker 1>pushed and if black people make demands, would be willing

1:15:27.880 --> 1:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to go in there and dismantle the mechanism of white supremacy.

1:15:31.560 --> 1:15:33.559
<v Speaker 1>I think the voting is just one part of these

1:15:33.600 --> 1:15:35.400
<v Speaker 1>are the conversations that we're having. The voting is just

1:15:35.479 --> 1:15:38.240
<v Speaker 1>one part of the political process. We know that it's

1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:41.600
<v Speaker 1>not everything, but it's also not nothing. It's something that

1:15:41.840 --> 1:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>we have to use to prevent the worst of what's

1:15:44.200 --> 1:15:46.680
<v Speaker 1>been seen by our people. And I think that what

1:15:46.840 --> 1:15:48.960
<v Speaker 1>we see in the streets all around the country, with

1:15:49.120 --> 1:15:52.439
<v Speaker 1>protests happening in fifty states and eighteen countries around the

1:15:52.479 --> 1:15:55.920
<v Speaker 1>world right now, is a representation of another piece of

1:15:56.000 --> 1:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the fight that we have to do. You know, with

1:15:58.120 --> 1:15:59.960
<v Speaker 1>all these people in the streets are creating a moment

1:16:00.240 --> 1:16:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that not only with people that are risking and putting

1:16:03.840 --> 1:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>their bodies on the line and calling for police to

1:16:07.479 --> 1:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>be defunded and stopping jails from being built and being expanded.

1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Right now that it's creating a moment that organizers, regular

1:16:15.560 --> 1:16:20.400
<v Speaker 1>people are being able to represent Black people's identities and

1:16:20.520 --> 1:16:24.360
<v Speaker 1>beliefs and demands in boardrooms, in the entertainment industry, in

1:16:24.439 --> 1:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the creative world, in athletics, and all these different organizations

1:16:29.800 --> 1:16:33.719
<v Speaker 1>are being forced to make statements that support black people.

1:16:34.120 --> 1:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think that this is just a really impressive

1:16:36.720 --> 1:16:39.840
<v Speaker 1>and important I'm so inspired by this moment that's happening

1:16:40.240 --> 1:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>because Black people are fighting in a lot of different

1:16:43.240 --> 1:16:45.040
<v Speaker 1>ways right now, and we know that voting is one

1:16:45.080 --> 1:16:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of those ways that we're going to fight. I feel

1:16:47.040 --> 1:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>like that's just what this moment represents, especially us coming

1:16:49.800 --> 1:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>together from different factions and different back walks of life.

1:16:54.320 --> 1:16:56.479
<v Speaker 1>We're coming to a point where we're saying, look, man like,

1:16:56.800 --> 1:16:59.040
<v Speaker 1>we understand that it takes some sophistication in order to

1:16:59.120 --> 1:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>move forward. And all too often when people do talk

1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:05.519
<v Speaker 1>about voting, the conversation isn't sophisticated. So you have to

1:17:05.600 --> 1:17:07.760
<v Speaker 1>think about voting as if it's just one peg of

1:17:07.840 --> 1:17:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the wheel of what we need to do. But just

1:17:10.000 --> 1:17:13.000
<v Speaker 1>because you vote doesn't mean that you're ultimately politicized. It

1:17:13.120 --> 1:17:15.320
<v Speaker 1>just means that you went to vote. There's the entire

1:17:15.400 --> 1:17:17.479
<v Speaker 1>process that you need to carry out after that in

1:17:17.680 --> 1:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>terms of even like managing your political identity and your

1:17:20.720 --> 1:17:23.200
<v Speaker 1>thoughts about how you can moving through the United States

1:17:23.240 --> 1:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>of America. And a lot of people like to say

1:17:27.120 --> 1:17:29.240
<v Speaker 1>that they stay out of politics, especially like in the

1:17:29.360 --> 1:17:33.840
<v Speaker 1>music industry and you know, entertainment at large. And where

1:17:33.840 --> 1:17:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I differ from my brother Steve when he said about

1:17:36.240 --> 1:17:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the statements is that I enjoy seeing the statements. But

1:17:40.200 --> 1:17:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we've been getting a lot of statements from a lot

1:17:41.680 --> 1:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of these people for years and nothing has happened. So

1:17:45.720 --> 1:17:48.400
<v Speaker 1>for me, it's really about the action. It's really about

1:17:48.520 --> 1:17:52.400
<v Speaker 1>I see black millionaires on television using the language of

1:17:52.479 --> 1:17:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the movement, will tap in with the movement for real.

1:17:54.920 --> 1:17:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Then you know what I'm saying. Last night, my little

1:17:57.120 --> 1:18:00.920
<v Speaker 1>cousin was shot in Saint Louis. Athlete by the name

1:18:00.960 --> 1:18:03.559
<v Speaker 1>of Darius Houston was shot at a funeral in front

1:18:03.600 --> 1:18:07.040
<v Speaker 1>of his mama. So when y'all talking like so we

1:18:07.200 --> 1:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>really from the soil, you know what I'm saying, Like

1:18:08.880 --> 1:18:10.439
<v Speaker 1>that pain is real. I had to wake up and

1:18:10.479 --> 1:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>get on camera to talk to y'all, going that I

1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>really couldn't even pull myself together this point, so to

1:18:16.200 --> 1:18:19.200
<v Speaker 1>me voting whatever, man, you know, we're gonna do what

1:18:19.280 --> 1:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>we gotta do. It's a tool that we're gonna use

1:18:21.680 --> 1:18:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to march up the field. But once we get to

1:18:23.720 --> 1:18:25.280
<v Speaker 1>a certain point in the field, we're gonna pull out

1:18:25.320 --> 1:18:27.120
<v Speaker 1>other tools. We got a lot of different things in

1:18:27.160 --> 1:18:29.240
<v Speaker 1>the bag, and this is just the moment where we're

1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>at right now. We just want to engage in the

1:18:31.400 --> 1:18:34.639
<v Speaker 1>process as an organized sport, and then we can engage

1:18:34.680 --> 1:18:37.519
<v Speaker 1>with some negotiations with them, right. And I do agree

1:18:37.560 --> 1:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>with with Charlomagne and Brother Test said. I think we

1:18:40.360 --> 1:18:44.040
<v Speaker 1>do have a particular opportunity if Joe Biden is smart.

1:18:44.120 --> 1:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>He knows that he is one of the weakest Democratic

1:18:46.080 --> 1:18:48.759
<v Speaker 1>candidates in recent memory, and he knows that he cannot

1:18:48.800 --> 1:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>continue to move in a way that continues to oxtracize

1:18:51.560 --> 1:18:55.360
<v Speaker 1>black people and black men. Right absolutely not black women.

1:18:55.600 --> 1:18:57.799
<v Speaker 1>They already showed him that. And so we gotta organize

1:18:57.840 --> 1:19:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and we gotta be there as an organized sports I

1:19:00.800 --> 1:19:04.680
<v Speaker 1>like that. It's my type of conversation. Thank you. Where

1:19:40.320 --> 1:19:52.680
<v Speaker 1>The Breakfast Club, it's about report Report with Angela y

1:19:53.320 --> 1:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>on the Breakfast Club. Yeah, so YouTube. They had a

1:19:56.160 --> 1:20:00.600
<v Speaker 1>virtual commencement ceremony and Beyonce spoke the Obama's folk. It

1:20:00.680 --> 1:20:03.320
<v Speaker 1>actually was supposed to be on June sixth, but they

1:20:03.439 --> 1:20:06.040
<v Speaker 1>moved that date in honor of George Floyd's memorial service,

1:20:06.080 --> 1:20:08.680
<v Speaker 1>and then they moved it to June seventh, so that

1:20:08.880 --> 1:20:12.360
<v Speaker 1>happened their class of twenty twenty. And here is what

1:20:12.600 --> 1:20:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Beyonce had to say about the music industry and all

1:20:16.120 --> 1:20:19.839
<v Speaker 1>the biases there. The entertainment business is still very sexist,

1:20:20.360 --> 1:20:23.120
<v Speaker 1>and as a woman, I did not see enough female

1:20:23.240 --> 1:20:26.040
<v Speaker 1>role models. Given the opportunity to do what I knew,

1:20:26.160 --> 1:20:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I had to do to run my label and management company,

1:20:29.640 --> 1:20:33.720
<v Speaker 1>to direct my films and produce my tours. That meant ownership.

1:20:34.400 --> 1:20:36.559
<v Speaker 1>Not enough black women had a seat at the table,

1:20:37.040 --> 1:20:39.040
<v Speaker 1>so I had to go and chop down that wood

1:20:39.040 --> 1:20:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and build my own table. Then I had to invite

1:20:42.040 --> 1:20:45.200
<v Speaker 1>the best there was to have a seat. That meant

1:20:45.280 --> 1:20:51.120
<v Speaker 1>hiring women, men, outsiders, underdogs, people that were overlooked and

1:20:51.280 --> 1:20:56.000
<v Speaker 1>waiting to be seen. In addition, yes, she also talked

1:20:56.000 --> 1:20:59.759
<v Speaker 1>about the LGBTQ community. To all those who feel different,

1:21:00.160 --> 1:21:02.600
<v Speaker 1>if you're part of a group that's called other, a

1:21:02.720 --> 1:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>group that does not get the chance to be center stage,

1:21:06.000 --> 1:21:09.200
<v Speaker 1>build your own stage and make them see you. Your

1:21:09.280 --> 1:21:15.560
<v Speaker 1>queerness is beautiful, Your blackness is beautiful. Your compassion, your understanding,

1:21:15.960 --> 1:21:18.479
<v Speaker 1>your fight for people who may be different from you

1:21:19.200 --> 1:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>is beautiful. I hope you continue to go into the

1:21:22.320 --> 1:21:25.120
<v Speaker 1>world and show them that you will never stop being yourself,

1:21:25.520 --> 1:21:28.400
<v Speaker 1>that it's your time now make them see you. I

1:21:28.479 --> 1:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>have a pinket Smith went free nose. Carter just thought

1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I would say that, Okay, and congratulations to Raymond Santana

1:21:35.720 --> 1:21:38.680
<v Speaker 1>and Delicious. They actually got married over the weekend. You know,

1:21:38.840 --> 1:21:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Raymond Santana Junior as one of the Central Park five

1:21:42.640 --> 1:21:45.479
<v Speaker 1>men who was exonerated, and the two of them have

1:21:45.600 --> 1:21:47.880
<v Speaker 1>been dating for a while now, and it looks like

1:21:48.040 --> 1:21:51.040
<v Speaker 1>they finally got married. They said he had to put

1:21:51.080 --> 1:21:52.519
<v Speaker 1>down a whole bunch of money because they had to

1:21:52.560 --> 1:21:56.280
<v Speaker 1>shut down the whole place in Georgia. And you know,

1:21:56.320 --> 1:21:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they were engaged for six months and they had to

1:21:58.920 --> 1:22:01.519
<v Speaker 1>make sure that no one else could come in there. Whatever, whatever,

1:22:01.640 --> 1:22:04.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, happy for them that they made it happens.

1:22:04.840 --> 1:22:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Theous man salute the y'all. Wow, I didn't know what

1:22:08.360 --> 1:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>they're getting married? Dope, Yes, Lauren order SVU. They said

1:22:12.320 --> 1:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming episodes will cover coronavirus and George Floyd's murder. Now,

1:22:17.280 --> 1:22:19.439
<v Speaker 1>they said, there are ways we will find our way

1:22:19.479 --> 1:22:21.680
<v Speaker 1>into tell the story. Presumably our cops will still be

1:22:21.720 --> 1:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to do the right thing, but it's going to

1:22:23.120 --> 1:22:25.400
<v Speaker 1>be harder for them, and they're going to understand why

1:22:25.479 --> 1:22:28.439
<v Speaker 1>it's hard for them. They said that how coronavirus impacted

1:22:28.479 --> 1:22:30.360
<v Speaker 1>New York City would be a topic of conversation in

1:22:30.400 --> 1:22:33.360
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming season. And they said, we can't make every

1:22:33.400 --> 1:22:36.120
<v Speaker 1>episode about a bad cop. Olivia makes mistakes, but she's

1:22:36.120 --> 1:22:38.240
<v Speaker 1>empathetic which is what I think separates the Cops and

1:22:38.280 --> 1:22:40.000
<v Speaker 1>our television show from a lot of what we're seeing

1:22:40.040 --> 1:22:42.479
<v Speaker 1>these days on our live streams. They've also bought on

1:22:42.560 --> 1:22:45.320
<v Speaker 1>new writers to bring in new voices, fresh voices, different

1:22:45.400 --> 1:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>voices as well. Yeah, I did read that what film

1:22:49.280 --> 1:22:51.479
<v Speaker 1>production is going to start TV and film production will

1:22:51.479 --> 1:22:53.439
<v Speaker 1>start back in California on June twelfth. I think I

1:22:53.560 --> 1:22:57.880
<v Speaker 1>read yeah, So do they open the opening things up immediately?

1:22:58.320 --> 1:23:00.920
<v Speaker 1>People need? I just read that. I mean, I know

1:23:00.960 --> 1:23:03.920
<v Speaker 1>you can still shoot in Atlanta and other places, so

1:23:04.120 --> 1:23:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean I don't know where they're shooting that,

1:23:05.439 --> 1:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>but who knows? All right now, Carl Crawford has been

1:23:08.800 --> 1:23:11.040
<v Speaker 1>ordered to stay away from his ex girlfriend and also

1:23:11.080 --> 1:23:14.400
<v Speaker 1>stay away from drinking. A Texas judge has ordered that

1:23:14.560 --> 1:23:16.599
<v Speaker 1>after a woman who said he choked her and pointed

1:23:16.640 --> 1:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>his gun at her. That has happened allegedly, and so

1:23:21.479 --> 1:23:24.120
<v Speaker 1>now he has in order to submit to drug tests,

1:23:24.160 --> 1:23:25.960
<v Speaker 1>he has to stay in the Houston area, he can't

1:23:26.000 --> 1:23:30.040
<v Speaker 1>access weapons, and he can't be anywhere around his alleged victim.

1:23:30.800 --> 1:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>So they're saying there's probable cause that suggested alcohol was

1:23:35.640 --> 1:23:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a factor in this offense and cops are saying after

1:23:39.800 --> 1:23:43.640
<v Speaker 1>they arrested him, that she's accusing him of assaulting her

1:23:43.680 --> 1:23:45.680
<v Speaker 1>back in May. So they had been in a two

1:23:45.720 --> 1:23:48.519
<v Speaker 1>and a half year relationship that recently ended. He told

1:23:48.560 --> 1:23:50.240
<v Speaker 1>her he wanted to talk and come to her house,

1:23:50.680 --> 1:23:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and she said once he arrived, he brandised his gun

1:23:52.800 --> 1:23:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and began walking toward her menacingly. All right, And I

1:23:55.600 --> 1:23:57.080
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys had a chance to watch this.

1:23:57.200 --> 1:23:59.400
<v Speaker 1>There was a lot of great things on television last night,

1:23:59.720 --> 1:24:02.599
<v Speaker 1>and one of them was on ESPN B like water.

1:24:02.720 --> 1:24:05.439
<v Speaker 1>Did y'all watch the ESPN thirty for thirty about Bruce Lee?

1:24:05.680 --> 1:24:10.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't see it. No Bruce Lee. Yeah, it wasn't

1:24:10.760 --> 1:24:13.720
<v Speaker 1>her last night. Wow, I didn't see no promo for that.

1:24:14.080 --> 1:24:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Watch ESPN every day. I don't remember seeing it. Was

1:24:16.600 --> 1:24:20.519
<v Speaker 1>very screening for it, like last month too. Wow. I

1:24:20.600 --> 1:24:23.160
<v Speaker 1>gotta check that up. Yeah. So it was pretty amazing

1:24:23.200 --> 1:24:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and Rizza actually did a song for it, a new

1:24:25.160 --> 1:24:27.720
<v Speaker 1>song and a visual for that as well, So make

1:24:27.760 --> 1:24:30.479
<v Speaker 1>sure you guys check that out. Speaking of and speaking

1:24:30.479 --> 1:24:33.280
<v Speaker 1>of new songs, Takashi six nine has linked up with

1:24:33.360 --> 1:24:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Akon for a Locked Up Part two. You guys remember

1:24:36.080 --> 1:24:38.280
<v Speaker 1>that Akon had says that he planned to work with

1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Takashi once he came home. Well, he definitely has, and

1:24:41.479 --> 1:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>now there's pictures of the two of them in the

1:24:43.000 --> 1:24:46.880
<v Speaker 1>studio together, and so it's gonna be revised. You can

1:24:46.920 --> 1:24:48.400
<v Speaker 1>hear a little bit of that right here and listen

1:24:48.439 --> 1:25:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to this. But who daughter come? A lot of people

1:25:03.160 --> 1:25:06.040
<v Speaker 1>mad at Acon for that one, in particular Tory Lanes.

1:25:06.439 --> 1:25:08.479
<v Speaker 1>He said, so, what y'all telling me is a core

1:25:08.640 --> 1:25:10.880
<v Speaker 1>the locked Up remix sample to someone else and not me.

1:25:11.000 --> 1:25:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm going back to bed man. Yeah, he tried to

1:25:13.439 --> 1:25:15.439
<v Speaker 1>play the record for his mixtape and it seemed like

1:25:15.479 --> 1:25:18.120
<v Speaker 1>it didn't happen. And then you saw a Spectacular said

1:25:18.120 --> 1:25:20.000
<v Speaker 1>you should have just stole it, like grind on me

1:25:20.080 --> 1:25:23.240
<v Speaker 1>and your body? Why stop now? Well, he couldn't stole

1:25:23.280 --> 1:25:25.600
<v Speaker 1>it was released. If it was released, he couldn't have

1:25:25.600 --> 1:25:27.280
<v Speaker 1>stole it. They had to get the clearances and everything

1:25:27.439 --> 1:25:29.840
<v Speaker 1>if they released it on streaming services on that, so

1:25:29.960 --> 1:25:33.120
<v Speaker 1>it couldn't have been stolen. Tory Lanes responded to Spectacular

1:25:33.200 --> 1:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and said, stole what? Actually, I bought the rights from

1:25:35.680 --> 1:25:38.240
<v Speaker 1>whoever signed you and publishes your music. But I guess

1:25:38.240 --> 1:25:40.479
<v Speaker 1>you weren't a part of that conversation. Go staring someone's

1:25:40.479 --> 1:25:42.360
<v Speaker 1>eyes and rub on someone's thighs and leave me out

1:25:42.400 --> 1:25:46.120
<v Speaker 1>of this one. Good night, and Spectacular responded. Ever since

1:25:46.120 --> 1:25:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you got that new hairline, you've been acting different. Last

1:25:49.760 --> 1:25:51.840
<v Speaker 1>time I checked, I owned my own masters. What type

1:25:51.880 --> 1:25:54.400
<v Speaker 1>of bootleg business you running? You acting like Virgil? Not

1:25:54.520 --> 1:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>keeping it two Virgils. You know what really bothers me

1:25:57.320 --> 1:26:00.720
<v Speaker 1>about that whole ACN situation is the fact that they

1:26:00.800 --> 1:26:04.439
<v Speaker 1>were sitting so close to each other with no mask on.

1:26:05.000 --> 1:26:08.280
<v Speaker 1>What happened to social distancing? Why aren't people caring about

1:26:08.479 --> 1:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>if you realize that nobody's really talking about Corona? Or

1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:16.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't even think a lot of people care anymore? Like, yeah,

1:26:16.479 --> 1:26:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I honestly don't know. The clubs

1:26:19.080 --> 1:26:21.679
<v Speaker 1>have been open in certain areas, the restaurant has been open,

1:26:21.760 --> 1:26:26.479
<v Speaker 1>people have been together. Stage four. Are we checking for fevers?

1:26:27.000 --> 1:26:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody cares anymore about transmissions? Is Corona still airborne? Does

1:26:31.000 --> 1:26:33.640
<v Speaker 1>it still live on surfaces? What the hell happened to

1:26:33.720 --> 1:26:36.040
<v Speaker 1>Corona that you can just be sitting in the studio

1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:39.479
<v Speaker 1>with somebody with no mask on, staring into each other's

1:26:39.520 --> 1:26:42.080
<v Speaker 1>eyes and rubbing each other's thighs. That's the only part

1:26:42.120 --> 1:26:43.519
<v Speaker 1>you here. You just wanted to say that part again.

1:26:43.600 --> 1:26:45.400
<v Speaker 1>That's all you wanted to do is say that part again.

1:26:45.800 --> 1:26:48.679
<v Speaker 1>They did not rub each other's thighs. That's what Charlomagne wants.

1:26:49.280 --> 1:26:51.280
<v Speaker 1>All right. Well, let me angela yea, And that is

1:26:51.400 --> 1:26:54.320

1:26:59.479 --> 1:27:03.400

<v Speaker 1>lynch in the federal crime and Ran Paul is holding

1:28:20.320 --> 1:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>it up. Like the villa is called the mmettil Anti

1:28:23.040 --> 1:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Lynching Act, but Senator Rampaul and his objections have kept

1:28:26.280 --> 1:28:28.840
<v Speaker 1>it from becoming law. Like why is rand Paul on

1:28:28.880 --> 1:28:30.840

1:29:15.200 --> 1:29:17.479
<v Speaker 1>give one quick shout out to MICHAELA. Cole. She has

1:29:17.520 --> 1:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a new show on HBO that premiered last night. It's

1:29:20.360 --> 1:29:23.040
<v Speaker 1>called I May Destroy You. It came on right after Insecure.

1:29:23.160 --> 1:29:25.920
<v Speaker 1>You know. Next week is the last episode of Insecure

1:29:26.000 --> 1:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for the season, which was very disappointing to me. But

1:29:28.160 --> 1:29:30.800
<v Speaker 1>fortunately we do have I May Destroy You that will

1:29:30.800 --> 1:29:32.920
<v Speaker 1>be coming on Sunday. Nights as well. It's amazing. It's

1:29:32.920 --> 1:29:35.320
<v Speaker 1>based on her own story. If you saw a chewing gum,

1:29:35.720 --> 1:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>then you know who MICHAELA. Cole is. She's a great creative,

1:29:38.200 --> 1:29:41.160
<v Speaker 1>so let's make sure we support her on that. The

1:29:41.240 --> 1:29:43.200

1:29:59.400 --> 1:30:02.439
