Speaker 1: We've got shattered glass, we've got shattered hearts, but we

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:34,800

00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: making sure. Hi, Froggy, Good morning all us. How are you?

17
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: I'm concerned you want to talk about it? No, I'm

18
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: just concerned for where we are as a country and

19
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: how do we get better? How do we stop this

20
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: from ever happening again? And how do we get better?

21
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: How do we treat everybody? Equally and love everybody. That's

22
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: my concern. Very good point. Look, you know we're starting

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: the show out at six am East Coast time, and

24
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: so we're gonna talk about this, and you know, in

25
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: twenty minutes, you know, what we've said here will be gone.

26
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: It'll be out in the airwaves and it's just going

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: to evaporate into outer space. And so whoever's not waking

28
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: up at six o'clock and listening to this and they

29
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: turn us on at six twenty, they're like, well, what

30
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: are they? Aren't they going to talk about everything going on?

31
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: George Floyd, the whole the whole whole story, the whole spectrum. Well,

32
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna try to cover it all morning long because

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: I want everyone to know that we hear what you're

34
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: saying and we want to wake up. And I'm I'm

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: not saying opening our eyes after a night of sleep.

36
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying opening our eyes and our hearts and our

37
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: brains after a lifetime of sleep. This weekend I posted

38
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: something on Instagram. Thought I said the right thing, and

39
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: as usual, I fed it up. I left some words

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: out and it was a statement that came out not

41
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: what I intended. I'll tell you the story quickly. And

42
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to make this all about me, but

43
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to make it about how we are getting

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: into this discussion today. This weekend Saturday, I was sitting

45
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: there listening to the news and watching TV, and I

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: was watching all these entertainers and singers and media people

47
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: posting things on Twitter and instagram saying, you know what

48
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: they thought, Well, here's what we should do, Here's where

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: we went wrong. Here's how I feel. And I'm thinking,

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: and I know some of these people, we all do.

51
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking some of these people are just tweeting and

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: instagramming just to hear themselves talk. They just want to

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: just blah blah blah, and they're not listening. I don't

54
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: think they even know what's going on. They just want

55
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: to be a part of the discussion, to be relevant.

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 1: So what I said was this this weekend. Well I

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: didn't say this weekend. And that's the problem. I said,

58
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: rather than talk can try to make myself relevant, I'm

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: going to shut up and listen to what people have

60
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: to say, because I believe the problem all along as

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: we have not been listening to what people have to say. Well,

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: I should have said this weekend, I'm going to shut

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: up and listen because people started yelling at me. Elvis,

64
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: you got to use your platform. You can't shut up.

65
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: This is a problem. Why people need to stop shutting up.

66
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: You needed to say something in b our Allies and

67
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: it opened up this discussion of me an entire day

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram talking to people. People were mad, people were supportive.

69
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: It was one of the most eye opening days of

70
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: my life where I wanted to explain to everyone, No,

71
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: I just want to show up and listen to what

72
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: you had to say. And that's kind of what I did.

73
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: Even though I were responding to everyone, I had the

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: best conversations with people, and I want to get into

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: that today. Look, you know, racial injustice is just something

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: we lived with. We studied it. In our history books.

77
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: We see footage of protests from riots from the sixties

78
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: and seventies and eighties and nineties and protests as well.

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: And then as I was thinking that, I'm like, wait,

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: this is not a just now thing, and we know this.

81
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: Listen to what I just said. We're studying protests from sixties, seventies, eighties,

82
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: and nineties and that's just the years where we had

83
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: film of these things, not to mention all the years

84
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and hundreds of years before that. It's it's an everyday

85
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: thing now, and this everyday story we have to make

86
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: something more important. And I'm thinking, no wonder Black people

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: in America are just tired and exhausted. One of the

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: people I was so fortunate to talk to Saturday was

89
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: a forty two year old listener. She's been listening to

90
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: our show for a long time, and she's been fighting

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: this fight since she was a little girl. She's a doctor.

92
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: She grew up with a mother who fought the fight

93
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: since she was a little girl, and a grandmother who

94
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: fought the fight, and her parents. Her grandmother's parents were slaves.

95
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: This is the life she knows. Who wouldn't be broken

96
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: by now, But she isn't. She's optimistic, she's hoping for

97
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: a better world. And I was totally intrigued with the

98
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: conversation I had with her. It's really great. I had

99
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: several conversations with several doctors and several people who just said, hey,

100
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: we listened to you every morning, but Elvis, you guys

101
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: need to wake up. We need you to be our allies. Well, look,

102
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: we have always been your allies. But here's what I

103
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: did not let this show do. I never let this

104
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: show become a show where we focused on what's important

105
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: to you. We thought that coming in here every day

106
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: and just having fun was all we needed to do. Apparently,

107
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: expect more from us. Otherwise you wouldn't be kicking me

108
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: in the ass like you did. And I appreciate it.

109
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at it as you scolding us for

110
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: being bad people. I'm looking at you saying, hey, we

111
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: expect more out of you. We know you, you know us,

112
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: we know us, so we want to do better. I

113
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: don't know any if anyone's calling, you know, Drew Carey

114
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: saying hey, Price is right, you really should have a

115
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: segment on there about what's going on in America. They're

116
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: not going to do it. I sometimes look at this

117
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: show as the twenty minute get away from the things

118
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: that fatigue you. The problem is is we're also being

119
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: a twenty minute getaway from the things that are important,

120
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: and that's where I lost my footing. So on behalf

121
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: of my best friends and my family who I work

122
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: with every day here at the Morning Show. We want

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: to do better, but we need you to help us.

124
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: You know what's happened here is this story has become

125
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: a story that's gone from a murder in Minneapolis where

126
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: a police officer took the life of George Floyd, and

127
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: it's now become a story about not the peaceful protests

128
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: aren't even making it. It's it's the it's the the

129
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: other static, it's the looting, it's the riots and stuff

130
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: like that. You know, even if if you want to

131
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: go out and protest peacefully, you can't because other people

132
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: are merging into your lane and they're pushing you away.

133
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: You deserve to be heard. So however, we can do it.

134
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: If you can, you can text us at fifty five

135
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: one hundred. You can call straight ate. He's got nothing

136
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 1: to do, but take your call at one eight hundred

137
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: two four two zero one hundred. And there you go.

138
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: With that said, I want to start with gandhi, what's

139
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: what's on your mind? What are you thinking? I don't

140
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know where to start with it. Um,

141
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm sad and a lot of times which I would

142
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: ask you guys to excuse me, my voice is probably

143
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna break because I get really teary. But I'm not

144
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: as sad as I am very angry right now, and

145
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: sometimes I just get frustrated and it comes out that way.

146
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: I think I had some really, really great conversations with

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: people this weekend, too, And I had some really sad

148
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: conversations with people this weekend who have been in my

149
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: life for a long time, and I didn't think I

150
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: had to explain certain things to them or tell them like,

151
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: this is my life even though we've grown up together,

152
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: this is what things have been. And it's been eye

153
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: opening and I don't know what the other word is, overwhelming,

154
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: maybe to say the least. But I love you guys

155
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: so much, and I looked forward to waking up this

156
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: morning and coming and doing this with you because I

157
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,079
Speaker 1: need a break from all the stuff that I watched

158
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: this weekend and all the things that are happening right now,

159
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: and I like seeing your faces. I'm being here for

160
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: this right now. So I think there's a lot of

161
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: work that needs to be done on everybody's part, on

162
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: our part, on the country's part, on everyone's part here,

163
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and I'm really hoping that we start that today. Let's

164
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, let's start it. You know what, one

165
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: step at a time, Do we have all the answers nope,

166
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: I barely have any answers. You know, I'm just so

167
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: happy to be here with you guys. I'm so happy

168
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: to see you, Danielle. How are you doing? You know,

169
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. I was talking to a lot of

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: people over the weekend too, and we were talking about how,

171
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: you know, I was born and raised in the Bronx,

172
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: New York, and I had friends that looked like everybody,

173
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: and I never thought about these things because we just

174
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: never thought about it. We just were friends. And it's

175
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: crazy to me that things like this go on sometimes

176
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: because I guess in a way where I lived, I

177
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: lived in a bubble with those people because I had

178
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: black friends, White friends, you know, Asian friends, Jewish friends,

179
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: you know, Catholic friend Like it didn't matter, it didn't

180
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. And that's how I was telling Froggy

181
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: that I always feel it starts at it starts at home.

182
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: And I've always told my children that inside your body,

183
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: you have bones, you have blood, you sweat the same way,

184
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: and it who gives a crap what you look like

185
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: on the outside, It doesn't matter. Everybody deserves the same rights,

186
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: everybody deserves the same everything. Like like so the fact

187
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: that this is all still going on, and that this

188
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: does still go on, and that all these things go on.

189
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: It it really does shock me because it shouldn't. And

190
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: it's crazy and and and you know, and it's just

191
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: it's sad. It's really you know, you said something very interesting,

192
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 1: and I'm glad you said the word bubble. Living in

193
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: a bubble. We're all living in these bubbles. These bubbles

194
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: are so different from each other. You lived in a

195
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: bubble where the color of the skin really wasn't what

196
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: made a difference between one person another. You know, I'm

197
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: I'm look, I'm I'm gonna be totally honest with you

198
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: today and some of it's gonna get me in bubble

199
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: and some of it's gonna piss you off. And let

200
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: me just say, I live in a bubble that will

201
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: not surprise you. I'm a fifty five year old white guy.

202
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: I started with basically nothing and bouncing checks, and I've

203
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: done okay with the help of you guys, you know,

204
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: living in this bubble, this white privilege with a capital P.

205
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: As far as I'm concerned, you know what, I'm kind

206
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: of ready to pop that bubble. Look, it's it's great

207
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: it's awesome to live in this world where you know,

208
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: if you see a story on TV about someone else's

209
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: rights being taken away, you look at it and you

210
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: shake your head and you're like, God, that's f an

211
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 1: awful man. How do people treat people like that? And

212
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: you turn it off? Well, no, no, no, let's talk

213
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: about let's talk about people of color. Let's talk about

214
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: black people. They're living in a bubble too. They're living

215
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: in a bubble, looking at us at our bubble, going,

216
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: how come you're in that bubble? I'm in this bubble. Well,

217
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: how come you can't? How come you in your bubble

218
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: over there? White man, don't understand what's going on in

219
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: our bubble over here? You need to understand it, at

220
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: the very least understand it. We may don't have the

221
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: answers on how to help it. We'll start with that.

222
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I give you the first word, and this

223
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: is the word I'm going to use all day as

224
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: it comes to police officers in America. I've got many

225
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 1: friends on the NYPD, and they're in all different different ranks,

226
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: men and women and gays and Straits, black, Asian, white,

227
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,199
Speaker 1: all of them. I don't believe in the one bad

228
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: apple theory. When it comes to police officers. We all know,

229
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: we've heard this over and over. You know, there's good cops,

230
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: there's bad cops. Bad cops are bad for the good cops.

231
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: But what I saw in watching that video of George

232
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: Floyd and when he was murdered, what scared me the

233
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: most was this, at that time police officer had his

234
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: knee on his neck and he had nothing but calm

235
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: on his face. I don't think I've ever seen evil

236
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: that was that pure. Never. Never. He wasn't a cop,

237
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: he wasn't even a person. And those other cops like

238
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,560
Speaker 1: what happened, you know, And I'm I was. I was saying, Elvis,

239
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: if you were, if you're one of those guys standing

240
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: next to what was happening to mister Floyd Wood, would

241
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: you said, hey, may in a minute, man, get off

242
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: of that stop it, leave him alone. Let's put him

243
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: in a car. We we took an oath to keep

244
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: keep him safe. It doesn't matter if he, you know,

245
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: stole a cat from a kitten store or if he,

246
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, blew up a car dealership. It's not up

247
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: to us to be the judge and jury. It's up

248
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: to us to keep him safe so the rest of

249
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: the system can do its job. That's what we do.

250
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: I saw that, and I'm thinking, oh man, this is

251
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be a tough one and it is. Look,

252
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: here's my one word step one, in my opinion, accountability.

253
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the first step. Look, when you sign

254
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: that oath to protect us, you've got to be held

255
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: accountable for anything that goes wrong. Accountability. These officers need

256
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 1: to be accountable for what they did. And until they are,

257
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: until people aren't held accountable for what damage they cause,

258
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: then how can we not be scared for anyone and

259
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: everyone walking our streets? All Right? I know you you

260
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: love listening to our show because you want to hear

261
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: fart jokes and you want to hear phone taps and

262
00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: we're still debating on whether to play a phone taper.

263
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: But this is our show. Yeah, Gandhi, what are you thinking?

264
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: I think that video was so indicative just on the

265
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: whole and symbolic of like what's been going on and

266
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: what people are screaming about for so long. That did

267
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: happen in broad daylight, as people screamed and begged for

268
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: it to stop, as people have been screaming for years,

269
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: begging for things to stop, and for the first time

270
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: a video was captured that I am not now hearing

271
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: somebody try to take the other side on. Everybody seems

272
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: to be on the same side for the first time.

273
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: And just because this is the first time you're seeing it,

274
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's the first time it's happened. It's been happening.

275
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: But now there's video, so at least people are able

276
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: to now see the pain that other people have been

277
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: going through for so long. And it's sad that it

278
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 1: took this to get it there, but it's there now

279
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: and now people are paying attention. So I'm really hoping

280
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: that we can do something with this. And as I

281
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: said before, to that point, Gandhi is you know, the

282
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: headline here is George Floyd today, and the headline with

283
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: George Floyd. George Floyd is all the George Floyd's before him.

284
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: That's the headline. And with everything, with everything else going on,

285
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of static right now, there's a lot

286
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: of noise coming through. Don't take your ears, eyes, and

287
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: heart off of the story. That's all I'm asking. I'm

288
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: not so we we're waking up after another night of

289
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: very very very rough times in many of our cities.

290
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: But I just, I just want to remind you that

291
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: there were many cities that had peaceful protests yesterday. The

292
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: wrong people didn't merge in and turn them into what

293
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: they didn't need to be. And there I had a

294
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: friend who actually showed up at a protest in La.

295
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: She was there, she's a government official. As a matter

296
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: of fact, She's like, it was great. And then she said,

297
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: you could see people arriving that were there for another reason.

298
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: They had a different agenda. Don't forget the good cops,

299
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: don't forget the peaceful protesters, and don't forget the people

300
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 1: in this world that not only deserve the lives that

301
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of us experience and enjoy, but maybe more

302
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: we've done really well for ourselves. Here's a concept. Rather

303
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: than wanting equality, consider yourself. If you're privileged, consider yourself

304
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: so well off. You don't want to be equal to people,

305
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: You want them to be better. Go ahead, I'm gonna

306
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: I want to sit back, give you the opportunity, listen

307
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: to what you have to say. I'll just sit here.

308
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good, doing really well. Got coffee over here,

309
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: got a car, it's all paid off. I'm doing okay,

310
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: but it's not a financial thing. It sends us get

311
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: out of your way so you can do your thing thing.

312
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: That's what it is. So look, you know, there's a

313
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: lot of different places to go today for what people

314
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: are doing people. Some stations are going to play music,

315
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: some stations are gonna be talking. Some people are gonna

316
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: be a little less frank than us. A lot of

317
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna be a lot more frank than us. Here.

318
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 1: We are very privileged at what we do and who

319
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: we are. We're acknowledging that and we want to listen

320
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: to you. So here's what we want to do. I

321
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: think we need to take a break. Is that what

322
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: we need to do? Straight Nate for once, isn't screaming

323
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: at me. We're gonna take a break. We do. We're

324
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: reading your texts as they come through. It's kind of

325
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: hard to talk and read, but we're just doing our best.

326
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,239
Speaker 1: We'd love to hear from you. I want to get

327
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: voices on here because, like I said this weekend, I'm

328
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: tired of talking because you're you don't want to hear

329
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: what I have to say. Here's what I can do

330
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: I can say to you, talk to me one eight

331
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: hundred two two zero one hundred. We'll be back after this.

332
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: Who the hell are you? Show? Hey, it's scary Jones.

333
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: And when it comes to home, an auto insurance state

334
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: Farm is the real deal. File acclaim or pay your

335
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: bill with the award winning state Farm Mobile app, or

00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: contact any of their nineteen thousand local agents who are

337
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: ready to help, like a good neighbor. State Farm is there,

338
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: Elvis Durand in the Morning Show, Hey, look at that sunshine.

339
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying to look at that sunshine. You

340
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: need some sunshine. I don't know. I don't know about you.

341
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: But over the weekend, you know, I was, especially Saturday

342
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: to night, I was watching the news. I was watching

343
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: these peaceful protests across the country turn into things that

344
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: weren't so peaceful, and and I said to myself, you know,

345
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: you really need to turn this off for a few minutes.

346
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: And then another part of me tell me if you agree.

347
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: Another part of me was, if you turn this off,

348
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: that means you don't care. I'm like, well, so I

349
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 1: had this inner conflict going on. Yes, did anyone know

350
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 1: that I feel exactly the same way, and I think

351
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: that that's a huge problem with what's going on, is

352
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: that once you reach that level of I'm uncomfortable, you

353
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: want to look away. And for so long people have

354
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: been looking away because they're uncomfortable, and we can't do

355
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: that anymore. You gotta stare at it, and it's terrible

356
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: and it makes you feel bad. But like, welcome to

357
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: the world of all the people who have been dealing

358
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: with this for so long. Talk about uncomfortable looking at

359
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: myself naked in the mirror today, I need to shave man.

360
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: I look like my dad like he was like, he's

361
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: so Harry. He was like Harry and the Henderson's Harry.

362
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, I gotta shave this off.

363
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: But no Saturday night. But I will tell you that

364
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: when it was finally time to go to bed, I

365
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: got into bed and I felt my body just shaking.

366
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh boy. So yesterday Alex and I decided,

367
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,920
Speaker 1: let's let's keep up with the news online on our

368
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: phones and then try to move away then come back.

369
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: And I realized, you know, the story, the main story

370
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: is always there, The George Floyd's story will never change.

371
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: That's done right. But of course, this aftermath and how

372
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: we pick up the pieces and try to make it right.

373
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: This is the new story. But yeah, is it? Line

374
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: twenty four? Is that where you want to go straight?

375
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: Name Kelly. Let's go talk to Kelly. Hey, Kelly, Hey,

376
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: how are you well? Thank you for asking the question. Well, no,

377
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: it's not a dumb question, because I think now more

378
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: than ever you know when you ask someone that it

379
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: means you really need to know how they're doing. But

380
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: we're doing great, and we'll get more into us later.

381
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: Let's talk to you, Kelly. Can you tell us about

382
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 1: your perspective and what you're doing these days differently than

383
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: you were doing a week ago. Well, this half weekend,

384
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,239
Speaker 1: we had all of the riot on TV and my

385
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: ten year old Tatum was sitting there and she looked

386
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 1: at me and she said, Mom, it seems like it's

387
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: only ever black people that are rioting. Why is that?

388
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: And I said, Honey, it's not only black people rioting.

389
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: I said, but this happened so often to you know,

390
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: black people, brown people. I said. You have to understand

391
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,719
Speaker 1: that you've been in the car with both Dad and

392
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: I when we've been sold over for speeding, I said,

393
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: and you know. When the police officer says license and registration,

394
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: I reached over to my purse. I had to get

395
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: the registration out of the console of the car. I said, Dad,

396
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: wallet is in his back pocket. All he did was,

397
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, reached his right hand back there with the

398
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: cops standing in the window, and he grabbed his wallet out.

399
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: There were no guns drawn. There was no fear of,

400
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to get shot. We talked about

401
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: Philandro Testill. I actually brought up videos for her of

402
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: when he was shot because he was asked for his

403
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: license and registration. And I showed her the live stream

404
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: video that his girlfriend made from the passenger seat as

405
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: that man had like six bullets unloaded into him just

406
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: and I said, Tatum, it was because he was black.

407
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: And I also told her, I said, I don't know

408
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: exactly what the story is with George Floyd. I heard

409
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: a couple of different things, but from what I understand,

410
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: he used a counterfeit twenty dollar bill in a place.

411
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: The clerk called the police, The police came. There was

412
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: outside surveillance. He was not resisting arrest, which I did

413
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: talk to Tatum about, and I said, the man was murdered.

414
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: I said that was a white person, they would have

415
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: been cussed and stuffed in the car and on their

416
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: way to the station, and that would have been it.

417
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 1: I said, Take this happened way too often in our country.

418
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: And furthermore, we had a young black woman that lived

419
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: with us. She was a high school student with my

420
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: daughter senior year of high school, and I wanted her

421
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: to have her hair done really nice for school pictures

422
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: and stuff. And so I said to her, I'm going

423
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: to go and get all the supplies that are needed,

424
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: like it was all ordered by a friend of mine.

425
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 1: I just had to go pick it up like my

426
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 1: friend was going to do her hair. And so I

427
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: went and picked it up. And when I went into

428
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: the shop, I immediately felt like, you don't belong here.

429
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: Why are you here? Oh, you're going to use the

430
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,640
Speaker 1: credit cards? Okay, why do you need this kind of hair?

431
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: Look at your hair, it's straight down your back long.

432
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: And the feeling that I got inside, which is also

433
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: something that my little one and I talked about again yesterday,

434
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: the fact that I felt like that one time in

435
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: my entire white life. And I said, Tatum Alasia has

436
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: felt like that every week of her eighteen years, I said,

437
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: And when I came home and I was so upset.

438
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: It was not so much the way I was treated,

439
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: it's the way I realized that other people are treated

440
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: that Asia's probably been treated, and it was just so

441
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: eye opening to me. I couldn't believe it. We live

442
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: in a little bit of I mean, they're definitely are

443
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: racial tensions in the city that I live in. I

444
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: grew up in a very racial community. It was Native

445
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: and and I still until that day, just did not understand.

446
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: And so my daughter and I talked about it. And

447
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: at the end after we watched the George Floyd video

448
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: and the Cilandro Castile video, and I said to her,

449
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna hear some more that I don't want you

450
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: to hear, But here come the videos. She was like,

451
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 1: they were murdered, and I said, yes, they were. They

452
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: were murdered, and if they were white, that would not

453
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: have happened. So it's it's really hard to explain that

454
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: to a little kid when what they see is rioting

455
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: and looting in different things like that. And I just,

456
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: oh it. The whole thing just makes me sick to

457
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: my stomach. And I'm glad that it makes perfect to

458
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: her stomach because we have lots of people in our

459
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: life that are just not vanilla, you know, right, Listen,

460
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: thank you for calling Kelly. You're good mom, and the

461
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: fact that you shared all that a lot of I'm

462
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm assuming not being a parent. I'm assuming that you know,

463
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 1: sharing all of that with a kid that takes guts

464
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: and it's it's probably frightening, but I'm glad you did it.

465
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: Thanks for listening to us. Thank you, and please have it.

466
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: Please have a nice day. Okay, we're gonna take a break.

467
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: Please and be careful out there and keep being a

468
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: good mom. Coming up later, doctor Michael Eric Dyson. Charlemagne

469
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: called and said, this is a good friend of mine

470
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: and he's perfect for your show. You gotta have him

471
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: on today. Charlemagne, thank you. I did any help you

472
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: can give us to get through this day. I appreciate it.

473
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: So Nate actually had a conversation with doctor Dyson last night,

474
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: and so, okay, I'll tell you. I called it and said, Nate,

475
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: you got to give a doctor Michael Eric Dyson a call.

476
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: He has a new book out. Charlemagne says, he's gonna

477
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: be great for our show, and Nate's like, Okay, I'll

478
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: call him, and then Nate calls back and goes, oh

479
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: my god, this guy's great. Yeah. I think a lot

480
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 1: of people, and I think Kelly was trying to relate

481
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: that as well, have been feeling things that they've never

482
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: felt before. Right, And so I talked to him for

483
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, and it just made me realize things that

484
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: I'd never realized in my entire life. So I'm really

485
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to the conversation that we're gonnahead with him

486
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,919
Speaker 1: in about an hour and a half. Okay, he's on

487
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: the way, let's take a break. We'll get back after

488
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: this is Elvistan in the morning show. Yeah, just listening

489
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 1: to the news, watching it over the weekend. I hear

490
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: them on TV say and now let's go live to

491
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: a press conference with the protest organizers in Minneapolis. I went, okay,

492
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: So I put down everything and watched, and it was

493
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: so eye opening. I wish I could have pushed a

494
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: button at that point and made everyone listen to what

495
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: they were saying. Not only did you have the protest

496
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: organizers who were very very very very direct and focused

497
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: on the message, which was all positive, but you also

498
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: had a civil right to attorney and they even threw

499
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: this great was this guy was great. He was a

500
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: Baptist preacher from Minneapolis and he was wow. He was great, awesome,

501
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: and it was great to listen. And that's why I

502
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: decided to post this post. I just want to listen.

503
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna shut up. I want to listen to what

504
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: people have to say. And so I got I got

505
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: spankings over the weekend. You can't shut up. You've got

506
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: to use your platform. I agree, but I just want

507
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: to shut up for a minute. And I'm going to

508
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 1: do that now because one of the people I met

509
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: on Instagram was roz and Rose. There's something about your

510
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: post to me that just really really caught my attention,

511
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: and I wanted you to put on. I want to

512
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: put you on today and welcome you to our family,

513
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: and I want you to give your perspective because I

514
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: think it's so great. It's a honor to talk to you.

515
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Roz Hi, how are you doing. We're doing well. You know,

516
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to figure it out. But you know, your

517
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 1: perspective that I read on Instagram, I think is going

518
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: to help shine the light on some things. I want

519
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: you to go ahead and just say what's on your

520
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: mind and where you're coming from, and also give your

521
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: perspective about your life and where you're from and what

522
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: you're about. Sure, well, I've been living in New Jersey

523
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: all of my life, and I guess really to start

524
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: this out, this whole situation, it's just happening time and

525
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: time again. I'm distraught, I'm angry, I'm burned, I'm nauseous,

526
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: and every day I feel like my mind is just

527
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: getting so bloated, if that makes any sense. My head

528
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: just feels so full with all this information and what's

529
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: going on in the world. You know, just like everyone

530
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: who's been demonstrating around the country, you continue to see

531
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: this injustice time and time again. And we've been waiting,

532
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: we've been writing petitions, we're trying to get involved in

533
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 1: our communities, and for the longest time we've been trying

534
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: to do this, and our institutions continue to not hear us,

535
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: you know. But after being silence we're so long. Of course,

536
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: people are going to take to the streets. It's effective,

537
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: and now people are being forced to listen. And my

538
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: friend Misha, she actually is from York, New Jersey. The

539
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: way she put it, and I loved it. It's a

540
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: rebellion of the underserved and unheard, and they're demanding change.

541
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: And when things get chaotic, when you know, when detractors

542
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: infiltrate these demonstrations with their own agendas, and this leads

543
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: to people getting hurt and innocent people being blamed. Um,

544
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: we're we live in a very racist society and that

545
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: is just obvious. But racism, you know, it's likely we

546
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: won't be able to get rid of that, but we

547
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: can surely demolish the institutions that allow it to run rampant.

548
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: And it's not, you know, only black lives matter, it's more,

549
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: can black lives finally matter? Because when you know, black lives,

550
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 1: when they start to matter on a systemic level, than

551
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: all lives can matter. And Elvis you mentioned you know

552
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: what my life has been like regarding this, Well, Um,

553
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 1: my dad, I'm mixed. My mother's white, my father is black,

554
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: and so my father's black and he's also a cop,

555
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 1: and he's also he was in the United States Marine Corps.

556
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: And when this black lives movement started years ago, I

557
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: had a lot of clashing thoughts and I remember making

558
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: a pretty lengthy post on my Facebook about you know,

559
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: all lives matter because I was so torn because it

560
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: felt that no matter which side I took, my dad

561
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: wasn't safe either way. So all Lives Matter felt appropriate

562
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: at the time, and it took listening and a lot

563
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: of self education to finally get to a point where

564
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: I can say it's black lives matter. And sometimes I'm

565
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: actually ashamed whenever that memory of my all Lives Matter

566
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: post comes up, and I cringe and I always want

567
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: to delete it, but I don't because it's a reminder

568
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: of how far I've come, and at that point in

569
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: my life, it was my truth. But it has become

570
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: really simple to me when my dad, when he's not

571
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 1: in his uniform, his skin will always make him a target.

572
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: He is always going to be vulnerable, and as long

573
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: as his skin is black, he's never going to be unarmed.

574
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: Why does a uniform have to keep him safe? H

575
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: when Sorry, this is like a very emotional topic. No, no,

576
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: it's it is, And you know what, listening to you

577
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: is very refreshing. I must I must add here at

578
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 1: the halftime show and now back to the game. Keep going,

579
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: because you know what you are saying some very important

580
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 1: stuff here, Rose. I knew it. I knew it when

581
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: I was stalking your Instagram page and looking at your pictures.

582
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: I knew you're a good person. But please, please, please

583
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: go ahead. We want to hear. We want to hear

584
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: what you do have to say, please or thank you,

585
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: thank you. I appreciate all that. So wait what I

586
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: was saying. My point was, you know, why does a

587
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: uniform have to keep him safe? And why does you

588
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: know his life value decrease when he clocks out of work?

589
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: And you know that's not a country he fought or

590
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: and it should be the type of community you should

591
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: be sacrificing his life to serve. And you know, it

592
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: seems like no matter which way you protest our administration,

593
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 1: the followers will find a way to try to silence

594
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: or discredit it. And if our government, if you know,

595
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: if they don't do what's needed to create this equality

596
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: on the systemic level, you know which you know this

597
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: does include prosecuting any cop who has committed murder. You know,

598
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: our good police they're going to take the hit every

599
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: single time. And I just feel our administration clearly it

600
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: doesn't serve our black communities. And I don't think they're

601
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: doing our police any justice. Either they're watching us tear

602
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: each other apart, and you know, they're either too scared

603
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: to have these conversations, you know, or they refuse to

604
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 1: acknowledge their privilege, or they just don't care. And this

605
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: past weekend, I finally got my mother to understand the

606
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement, you know, during a discussion. We

607
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,279
Speaker 1: have this discussion on Friday night, and it's been a

608
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: debate in our household for a long time because she,

609
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, she was all about our police and our

610
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: military because of my dad, and I was about the

611
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter movement because of my dad. So what

612
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: we all did, it wasn't out of malice. It was

613
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: all because of love for this person. But I really

614
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: just needed her to understand why this movement is so important.

615
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: She's strong, she is independent, she stands by her beliefs,

616
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: but she allowed herself to be educated and did a

617
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: complete one eighty. It acknowledged her privilege, and it was

618
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: very emotional about it. And if we continue having these conversations,

619
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: we may be able to promote change, and when the

620
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: younger generations start taking over public office, there might finally

621
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: be some justice in peace. And so you know, Elvis,

622
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: regarding your posts this weekend, you were getting annihilated and

623
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: that really wasn't fair. And you know, sometimes that first

624
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: step is listening. And I think people should feel ashamed

625
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: for belittling and criticizing you, because rather than attacking you,

626
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: they should have provided you the tools to build your understanding.

627
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: And no wonder, no one wants to get involved or

628
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: have these conversations when the second you try to take

629
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: this step in the right direction, you get abused for

630
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote not doing enough. And I think listening is

631
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: a great start, because as you can see, some people

632
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: can't even do that. And to anyone who's listening, who

633
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: may have been in a similar boat as I was,

634
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,280
Speaker 1: being confused is a great start. It means you're actually

635
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: thinking about it. And you know, being lost is great too.

636
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,919
Speaker 1: It means you're trying to find the right path. And

637
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, anyone who's in that boat right now, we're

638
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 1: honored to have you walk beside us on our march

639
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: to the right side of history, because change really does

640
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: start with you. It starts in your home. Hey, Gandhi,

641
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: Gandhi wants to talk to you for a second. Go ahead, Gandhi,

642
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: ras have you met rossou Roz. You sound fabulous. I

643
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: just wanted to say I love what you just said

644
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: about not chastising people when they have a question or

645
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: they're coming from a place of not knowing or what

646
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: we may feel as ignorance, because sure we've been seeing

647
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: it for so long. How have you not seen it

648
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: for so long? But if you've come to the point

649
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: right now where you're saying, help me understand this, I

650
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: want to know more. I don't think anybody deserves to

651
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 1: be yelled at for that. I think now is the time,

652
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: as sick as we all are of talking about it,

653
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: to talk about it more, because the only way people

654
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: are going to be able to understand and listen is

655
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: if that experience comes from us and we tell them that.

656
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: So I think alienating the Allies right now is a

657
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: huge thing that we should try to stop doing. And

658
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of that too. So I'm with

659
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: you right there all the way. I thank you. You

660
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 1: know what you were you nervous coming on today? Absolutely

661
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: me too. I'm with you, man Rose, and I are

662
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: shaking on our boots like I would thank you when

663
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: you had approached me about this opportunity. I wasn't sure

664
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: if I was really even deserving of it, because I

665
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: feel there are other voices that need to be heard

666
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: other than mine. And you know, I actually had talked

667
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: to my dad about it. He's like, you know, your

668
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: truth is your truth, and it's important to be is

669
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,919
Speaker 1: that it's heard. So he gave me like a little

670
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: bit more confidence. And so what I did is I

671
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: reached out to a lot of people in my life,

672
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: including black cups, white cups, medical personnel, and my one

673
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 1: really good friend I mentioned before, Misha, who's really been

674
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: on the front lines of this Black Lives Matter movement,

675
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to get I just wanted to

676
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,919
Speaker 1: have these conversations with them and get you know, get

677
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: my mind working and make sure that not only was

678
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 1: I speaking my truth, when I was being a megaphone

679
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: for other people in my life who deserved to have

680
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: a say. Wow, well, let me tell you you prepped

681
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: for the show better than I did. And uh, it's

682
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: the proof is just right there. If you missed what

683
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: Roz said, I we're going to run that back later

684
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 1: on the show. If you don't mind, You're not going

685
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: to sue us or anything here? Cool? Now, Hey, ro

686
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 1: I do. I do want us to stay stay connected.

687
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: I rarely check my DMS, but I will be looking

688
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 1: more for you in the future. And you have our number.

689

Speaker 1: Now you have the top secret number. So we'd love

690
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,280
Speaker 1: to hear from you if ever you have a thought,

691
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: and if ever you see me careening off a cliff

692
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: and saying, you'd call me and save me. Okay always

693

Speaker 1: all right, Rose, thank you so much. I'm sorry, says again.

Speaker 1: been listening to since I was five. Thank you, I

696

Speaker 1: appreciate it. You go have a beautiful day. Okay, you

Speaker 1: Thank you Rose. Take care. Wow. So that was our

702
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: get producer Sam on. We gotta get some some perspective

703
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: from our Froggy, who I was talking to all week

704
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: and long. We've got a lot to do. Uh, And

705
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: I know this isn't our typical show, and we are

706
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: hearing people say, hey, I gotta turn you off. This

707
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,680
Speaker 1: this isn't what I want to hear. That's fine, I

708

Speaker 1: don't care. I'm with you. I'm with it. If that's

717
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: thank you for all the great texts coming through at

718
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 1: fifty five one hundred. Hey, we knew today's Today's Show

719
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: needed to be different, and then from now on we

720
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: need to think differently. I'm not saying we're gonna have

721
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: this type of show every day, but it's the wake

722
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: up show. Wake Up. Nothing wrong with that. But also

723
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:56,680
Speaker 1: with a text, we have a lot of people telling

724
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 1: us to go back to being entertainers and stop doing this.

725
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I'm sorry, I'm you know. The last

726
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: thing I want to do is lose listeners and I

727
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: don't want to offend anyone, but we truly feel that

728
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: this is where we need to be today. And thank

729
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: you for trusting us. And if you don't need to

730
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 1: listen today, I'll tell you what. If you don't want

731
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: to listen today, maybe today is the day you should

732
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: be listening. Let's put it that way. I'm not going

733
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: to passively just say okay, go away, Sorry I offended you. No,

734
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: because listen, come on, listen to an old white guy

735
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: struggling radio show. A big part of me just wants

736
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: to say, like, what about this conversation is so bad

737
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: that you don't want to listen to it or you

738
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: can't listen to it? Because I am interested in that too,

739
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: because all of that helps us put together a better

740
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: message to reach people in a way that they can

741
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: actually be reached. So, if there's something about this show

742
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: that's just rubbing you the wrong way, like what is it?

743
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: What is it about this conversation about race that's upsetting you?

744
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: Know what it is? Also, if I may, and I think,

745
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, a lot of people turn on

746
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: our show to get away from the news that brings

747
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,920
Speaker 1: them down. And I get that, and that's you know,

748
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: we've we've constructed a show here that stays away from

749
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: getting political. It stays away from things that make people

750
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: cringe and uncomfortable, because you can get that anywhere. There's

751
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,840
Speaker 1: a million different places who can go from more music

752
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: or political talk or sports or whatever. I wanted this

753
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:22,920
Speaker 1: show to be based as walking down the central line,

754
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: not offending, just having fun. But apparently, like I said before,

755
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,720
Speaker 1: in trying to give you a place to get away

756
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 1: from sad things, we also took you away from important things.

757
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: And that's why I want to make this a little

758
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: different today. And hey, I don't want you to stop listening.

759
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: I want you to support us, and that's all you know.

760
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry that it's not for you, but I'm

761
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 1: not sorry, and I don't I shouldn't say i'm sorry.

762
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:56,959
Speaker 1: I'm sorry that I'm saying i'm sorry. That makes sense. Yeah, well,

763
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: I also think that thank you. I think think that

764
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: it's really important for all of us to just really

765
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: keep an open mind right now, really talk about the

766
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: things that are important and not make this about politics,

767
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: because to me, racism is not a political issue, because

768
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't think all Republicans are racist. I don't think

769
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: all Democrats are not racist, and vice versa. I think

770
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 1: racism is an overarching issue that all sides need to

771
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: be on the same page about. It shouldn't be a

772
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: divisive thing. To me, it's not politics I'm talking about.

773
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: We're talking about humanity exactly. You're talking about us not

774
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: wanting to be divisive about something that's divisive. It's it's

775
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of it's just weird. Hey, let's

776
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 1: get rolling. Oh, you know what, there is something else

777
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: I want to tell you. Oh my god, I'm so excited.

778
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're familiar with Killer Mike. Killer

779
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: Mikey's an Atlanta based rapper artist. He's just a super

780
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: nice guy. He's a great guy. A lot of people

781
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: are texting in. Okay, you're talking about, of course, the

782
00:43:56,080 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: headline George Floyd, and then you talk about police, then

783
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: you talk about accountability. But another thing that's going on

784
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: here is peaceful protests, which are important. Some of them

785
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: are turning into violent protests, and they're turning into demonstrations

786
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: that turn into looting and this and that. He made this,

787
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he made this great speech with the

788
00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: Mayor's Office of Atlanta. I think the mayor of Atlanta

789
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: was doing a press conference. He gives a great perspective

790
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:31,439
Speaker 1: to loving your city and telling his city fellow city

791
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: goers do not burn down our city. This is what

792
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: we need. I want you to hear his speech because

793
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 1: it's so great. We have that coming up for you

794
00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: in sits A second producer, Sam, Sorry, we're forty five

795
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 1: minutes late with the feel goods. We could really use

796
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: some feel goods today. What do you have for us?

797
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: And thanks for your patience. I appreciate it. Okay, So,

798
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 1: as we know, there are a bunch of stories like this,

799
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: but this story from Flint, Michigan is one that installed

800
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: a very certain kind of hope in me and I

801
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: know a lot of us who know this is this

802
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: went down. So with all the protests that have been

803
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 1: happening across the country this weekend, some have been met

804
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: with brotherhood and sisterhood and empathy by local police officer

805
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 1: who find it within their power. Sheriff Chris Swanson met

806
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: protesters without the usual officer attire and let the crowd

807
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 1: know that the only reason he and his team were

808
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: there was to make sure that those protesters had a voice,

809
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: and rather than explaining it to you guys. Further, we

810
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: have a clip of his speech right here here to

811
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: make sure that you got a voice. That's it very

812
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: good for a second, that he represents you with These

813
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: cops are from all over the county and around the station.

814
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: We want to be with y'all for real. So I

815
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: took the helmet off the later for times down. I

816
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: want to make this a parade, not a protester. Wow, yeah, awesome.

817
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 1: He asked what they needed from him, and everyone started

818
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 1: chancing march with us, and that's exactly what he did.

819
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: So want to thank all officers out there, and that

820
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: includes the officer from North Dakota who was holding hands

821
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: with protesters as they held a sign that said we

822
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: are one race, the human race. Includes officers in Camden,

823
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: New Jersey carrying a banner that read standing and Solidarity

824
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: and chanting no justice, no Peace. And it includes a

825
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: large group of police officers in Coral Gables, Florida, who

826
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: in a group together took a knee during the protest,

827
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: which was a really powerful image. So thank you for

828
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: all those officers and to the rest who have yet

829
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: to experience this yet or we'll continue. I want to

830
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: thank you for deciding to use as much patience and

831
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: protection as possible in those times, because those are very

832
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: important moments in what has been an overwhelming amount of

833
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:51,400

844
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,720

Speaker 1: Chris Jenner, Duane the Rock, Johnson, Reese Witherspoon, Vanessa Bryant.

846
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,560

847
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: of them saying don't ignore something because it makes you

848
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: feel uncomfortable. Um. Some celebrities joining the process, like Halsey

849
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: even getting things thrown at her, you know, just like

Speaker 1: get some of the pro testers out of jail. Uh.

853
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: And it depends on where you look. Some people were

854
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: upset about them doing this. Other people were um feeling

855
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,319
Speaker 1: that it was something that they should do. Um, so

856

866
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:47,719
Speaker 1: dispute it. Who cares what you have? I know, I

867
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess that I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1: and they were really worried because the drones were flying

871

Speaker 1: as well. David Getta did his best to get some

880
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 1: people to dance over the weekend. He hosted a hashtag

881
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,960

Speaker 1: over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars, so that was

884
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: pretty cool, and he did it with a lot of

885
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:42,960
Speaker 1: people in New York City, so that was something good

Speaker 1: so many layers to this and I know that, Uh,

912
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 1: like Gandhi had said, it's it's not a political issue.

913
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: This is a human race issue. This is a human

914
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: rights issue, and it's something that affects every single one

915
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 1: of us. And I think that you can get out

916
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: and you can vote, you can do whatever you can

917
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: to make change. But I believe a lot of this

918
00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,479
Speaker 1: starts at home. And I believe that hate is something

919
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: that is taught. And I know that firsthand that hate

920
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 1: is something that is taught. I grew up in an area,

921
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying that all of North Carolina is

922
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 1: this way. I'm saying that where I grew up in

923
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I know that hate is something that is taught.

924
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: Because you can see children when they're young, children will

925
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: play with other children because they're children. They don't know

926
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: the difference. So we have to stop teaching this at

927
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:40,760
Speaker 1: home and be nice, be kind to people in public,

928
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: and I don't mean pandering and catering to people just

929
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 1: because the color their skin. Treat everybody the same, whether

930
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 1: you're in public, whether you're at home, and teach love.

931
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: That's how we can start making a change. I don't

932
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: have the answer to how we get things to change politically.

933
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't know. Politically we've never been I mean, as

934
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: because I've been a lot, there's always been the political issue.

935
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: But being nice to each other is not something that

936
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: comes from the left of the right, and so I

937
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: just want people to be nicer to each other and

938
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: be kind. And before you make that joke or before

939
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: you say that thing, ask yourself, is this something racist

940
00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: that I should not say to anybody, Whether it's in

941
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: your home, or whether it's with your friends, or no

942
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: matter where it is, Ask yourself, is this leading to

943
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 1: somebody learning how to hate? And instead teach somebody how

944
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: to love. I think that is how we make a change.

945
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: Love you, Froggy, I love you very much. Let's take

946
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: her break. Hey, the debate is on, by the way,

947
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: phone tap or no phone tap? I was thinking kind

948
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: of phone tap? I don't know, should we Well, I

949
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: tell you I was speaking to one of my new friends,

950
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: doctor Williams, last night, and I tried to get her

951
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: to come on the air, but she's not quite ready,

952
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: and that's cool. But we had a great conversation last

953
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: night and I said, you know what, tomorrow is gonna

954
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 1: be a different type of show just for the day.

955
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 1: And you know, we're not going to do the phone tap.

956
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 1: And she says what Doctor Williams said, what you're not

957
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: doing the phone tap? I love the phone tap. I'm like, okay.

958
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: She also requested from Bob Marley. She what a great lady.

959
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: She's awesome. I tell you what, We're either going to

960
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 1: play Bob Marley or a phone type or both for

00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: Doctor Williams coming up after this. Oh, this is obnoxious.

Speaker 1: Toran in the Morning show. We are honored and privileged

00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 1: do a different type of show. And I know usually

965
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,640

Speaker 1: phone tapper, no phone tap, and loudly you said, what

982
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: are you crazy? So we thought our uncle Johnny one

983
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 1: of our because all our phone taps are old. You know,

984
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,359
Speaker 1: we can't do new ones. Right now, we thought Uncle

985
00:54:21,440 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: Johnny's phone tap where he phone taps himself, is so appropriate.

986
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: So here we go. Today's phone tap els Elvis durand

987
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: Elvis Durant phone tap. Here we go, Garrett phone tapped

988
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 1: Uncle Johnny. All right, set it up? What happened? All right?

989
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,200
Speaker 1: So we got an email from our listener, Christina, who

990
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: told us her uncle Craig has a great talent. He

991
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: thinks he sounds like Uncle Johnny, to the point where

992
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 1: Craig has gone out to bars and people have been

993
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: giving them free drinks because they think he's Uncle Johnny. Wow.

994
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:52,879
Speaker 1: So we decided to use Craig's talent and phone tap

995
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,880
Speaker 1: our very own Uncle Johnny. He can't wait. Listen in

996
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: Hollo zero. Hey Johnny is Garrett. I know, I've just

997
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: gotten several emails about something that I thought you should

998
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 1: know about. Yeah, there's this guy that has been going

999
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: around claiming to be Uncle Johnny. Get out. You know,

1000
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 1: he's causing some trouble. He got thrown out of a

1001
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: bar for getting into a fight with a guy. He's

1002
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: giving you a bad name around town, all right, he said,

1003
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: he said he's gone to the monster before. I mean,

1004
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: he's literally copying your life. Oh god, this is just

1005
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: a bad look for us at the radio station. It

1006
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:30,879
Speaker 1: certainly is. But we don't need any of this. I mean,

1007
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's my reversations he's ruining, I know.

1008
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 1: And the interesting part is, so I decided to call

1009
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: him and he is telling me that he's Uncle Johnny.

1010

1037
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:05,839
Speaker 1: because it's ruining my reputation, and and I trace him. Now,

1106
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: in a wow. This is amazing. I'm talking to Elvis Duran,

1107
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: CE Elvis Duran, s Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

1108
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:47,960
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there minding my own business last night

1109
01:00:48,440 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 1: and I get a text from Charlemagne to God and he,

1110
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, he calls me godfathers. Hey, Godfather. If you

1111
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 1: don't have my friend Michael on your show tomorrow, then

1112
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 1: you're stupid. So I'm like, okay, I'll do as you say,

1113
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: because if if Charlmagne says it, I usually do it.

1114
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Doctor Michael Eric Dyson is here. And when I announced

1115
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: that you're going to be here today, Michael, it really

1116
01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: you could feel it. You could feel the simmer to

1117
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: come to a boil in a good way. Speaking of

1118
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: police violence on CBS this weekend, he said, and it's

1119
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: a moment of grief, of profound national recogning for recognizing

1120
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: reckoning for black people in particular, but for all conscientious Americans.

1121
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: I hope he is known as the paid pest. And

1122
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 1: you actually used a quote, Michael, that I love from

1123
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: Gore Vidal says, we live in the United States of Amnesia.

1124
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: When it comes to American history, we totally forget about

1125
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 1: what's happened. Please welcome to our show, doctor Michael Eric Dyson.

1126
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: We'll call you Michael. Thanks for being here today. Thanks

1127
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: for having me, man, I appreciate it. What do we do?

1128
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: What do we do well? Taking off from that quote,

1129
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: and you know in my book, teers, we cannot stop

1130
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 1: a sermon to White America. I talk about that quote

1131
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: from Gore Vidal because we do live in the United

1132
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: States of Amnesia, which means we're addicted to forgetfulness. We'd

1133
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 1: rather forget it. I think the theme song is provided

1134
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 1: by Barbara streisand I know you young folk don't know

1135
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: who Barbara is, but you stuck on Taylor Swift. I

1136
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 1: am at or Adele, I get it, but she said,

1137
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: what's too painful to remember? We simply choose to forget.

1138
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: So a lot of us would rather sweep it under

1139
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: the carpet, pretend it doesn't exist, and then move forward.

1140
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: So we got to reject our citizenship in the United

1141
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:35,480
Speaker 1: States of Amnesia and claim citizenship in the Kingdom of Memory,

1142
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 1: which means that we got to remember where we came from.

1143
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: You know, America is strange. On the one hand, you

1144
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: can't get enough of books on Abraham Lincoln or George Washington,

1145
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: or the Founding fathers or the Founding mothers and brothers.

1146
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: But when it comes to talking about issues of race

1147
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: or gender or sexual hey, can't you folk get over it?

1148
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: So we got to have a little bit more balanced there.

1149
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what Lynn Manuel, Miranda did right

1150
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: with Hamilton. You can make it sex, you can make

1151
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: it appealing. You can It doesn't have to be dry, old,

1152
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: dusty history. But that history is critical. And if we

1153
01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 1: don't know where we've come from, we don't know where

1154
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 1: we're going. Or as Santiana said, if you if you

1155
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: don't know what your history is, you're bound to repeat it.

1156
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: And we're doing the same thing now. People look at

1157
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: folk who are spilling over in the streets. Oh my god,

1158
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: don't those people see that they're destroying their communities. What communities?

1159
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Many of them are living in places and spaces where

1160
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 1: they got food, deserts. The grocery stores are not owned

1161
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: by them, the shops are not owned by them. They

1162
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: don't even own their own bodies. If you can be

1163
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: on the streets of Minnesota where a police person puts

1164
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:40,120
Speaker 1: his knee into your neck and you are crying for

1165
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: everything holy, you even call on your mama because it

1166
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:47,920
Speaker 1: is so devastating, and that police person still doesn't hear you,

1167
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, we are in trouble as a nation. So

1168
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: we've got to own up to our racial past. We've

1169
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 1: got to own up to the persistence of white supremacy,

1170
01:03:56,600 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: social injustice, economic inequality, to make this na what it

1171
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: is meant to be, even the creed is what e

1172
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,640
Speaker 1: plura bazonam. That's a Latin phrase out of many one

1173
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: that goes right up there with faschizzo ma nizzle from

1174
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: Snoop Dog. Those are great cradles by which we live.

1175
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: So the point is that you got to figure out

1176
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 1: a way to get past the blockade of bigotry and

1177
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 1: the obstacles of resistance to embracing all brothers and sisters

1178
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: as our fellow citizens. Now Here, I am a bloated

1179
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,439
Speaker 1: white guy with a show that's very successful. We do well,

1180
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 1: and we thought we would come in here every day

1181
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,360
Speaker 1: and offer a getaway for people who want who want

1182
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: to turn off political talk and negative talk and too

1183
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 1: much music, and where we would come on the air

1184
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: and we have fun, We tell far jokes and you

1185
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 1: know whatever. But in doing so, we've we we also

1186
01:04:48,840 --> 01:04:51,920
Speaker 1: gave people a way to get away from the important issues.

1187
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: And this is this is how I had my ass

1188
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: slap this weekend. On on Instagram. They're saying, Elvis, you

1189
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: got you got to use your platform. I'm like, I

1190
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,919
Speaker 1: want to use my platform. We have ten million people

1191
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: a week listening. And I walked in this morning with notes.

1192
01:05:04,360 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: I was ready to go. I would have made you

1193
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: proud with all this stuff I wrote you. I'll give

1194
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:08,640
Speaker 1: it to you and write a book with it. And

1195
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: and I just, I just, I just I'm tired of talking.

1196
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I want to listen. I want I want people to learn.

1197
01:05:15,880 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 1: And from the white man's perspective, you know, we want

1198
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:22,040
Speaker 1: to do better, we want to do the right things,

1199
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:25,959
Speaker 1: but we it's okay for us to ask for help, right. Absolutely. Look,

1200
01:05:26,160 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: there's no question about it, you know. Uh, and I understand.

1201
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 1: You know. I teach a Georgetown. I got young black

1202
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,960
Speaker 1: students who say, look, we're tired, we're fatigued, we're not

1203
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 1: here to teach other white students what to do and

1204
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 1: how to be. And so I was with them one

1205
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: day in class and most of my classes, of course,

1206
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 1: of white folk, and I said, yeah, I know what

1207
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: you mean. Man, I'm tired of having it. I said, oh, no,

1208
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: no way, minute, that's my job. Oh I forgot, No,

1209
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm the professor. Yeah, it is my job to teach. Okay,

1210
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 1: Oh white kids want to know. Oh yeah, I get

1211
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: paid to tell you what it is. So the reality

1212
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: is is that? Yes, you know Malcolm X that famous

1213
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,480
Speaker 1: scene and I'm sure you've seen the monumental epic film

1214
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,920
Speaker 1: by Spike Lee when the young white woman comes up

1215
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: to him and says, what can I do? She followed

1216
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: him to New York, she hurt him in Boston. Oh

1217
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: my god, he blew her mind. She wants to figure

1218
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: out the right thing to do. And she said what

1219
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: can I do? And he said nothing? And it was devastating.

1220
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: Now he grew to regret that. But I believe that

1221
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: if folk really want to know, we got to share

1222
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,360
Speaker 1: with him. That's why I wrote the book Tiers. We

1223
01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:28,360
Speaker 1: cannot stop a sermon to white America because I believe

1224
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 1: we got to talk about tough issues. Now. It doesn't

1225
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: mean that it's going to be easy, Like you said,

1226
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: when you're used to having a certain position, when you

1227
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: hear buzzwords like white privilege, nor I'm not I don't

1228
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: have white privilege. I'm just as poor. I struggle every

1229
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: day I get up and go to work. My god,

1230
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Jimmy Cricket, what are you talking about? Well, this is

1231
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: what we mean. Even if you're not rich, if you

1232
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: live in an American society that won't judge you automatically

1233
01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:53,640
Speaker 1: because of the color of your skin. If you meet

1234
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: a police person on the street and you live to

1235
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: tell about it, that's a form of privilege that even

1236
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: I like me with a PhD from Princeton, who's been

1237
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 1: accosted by the police more times than I can tell you,

1238
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: who's been called bad words by the cops more than

1239
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:11,560
Speaker 1: I can tell you, is subject to I study too,

1240
01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 1: I did the right thing too. I worked hard too.

1241
01:07:14,480 --> 01:07:17,120
Speaker 1: I went to school too. I got a PhD. Two.

1242
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm an ordained Baptist minister for forty one years too.

1243
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a difference. Some people judge me regardless

1244
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: of what I have attained. So we've got to talk

1245
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: about this honestly. In America, and many white brothers and

1246
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: sisters are not talked to think about themselves as a race.

1247
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: When when many white people hear race, they go, oh,

1248
01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: black or brown or Asian. No, white folk have a

1249
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: race too. It's like men when we hear gender, oh,

1250
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 1: we must be talking about women. No food. You got

1251
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: a gender two and obviously a lot of times it's toxic,

1252
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 1: toxic masculinity. Men don't think about it. We have gender two.

1253
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 1: So when many white brothers and sisters. Hear race, they

1254
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: run away. Oh my god, it's going to be a

1255
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 1: finger pointing note in my classes. I say, we got

1256
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,400
Speaker 1: to come to grips with what this nation has been.

1257
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 1: We have to be open, we have to be honest,

1258
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: and if we want to learn anything, it's gonna be difficult.

1259
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 1: You can't learn algebra, a calculus without going through some

1260
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: tough times. And so if we're gonna learn about race

1261
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 1: in America, we have to be informed. A lot of

1262
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: people pop off at the mouth and have no idea

1263
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: what they're talking about. They don't know what affirmative action

1264
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: is when it began. They don't know what the civil

1265
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: rights struggle has been. They quote Martin Luther King Junior,

1266
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: but they haven't read all of his books. They don't

1267
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: understand what his deeper significance is. So we've got to

1268
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 1: bone up on the most serious issues of racial difference

1269
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: in America to make sure that white brothers and sisters

1270
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 1: and others who would live together must understand what it means.

1271
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,240
Speaker 1: I can imagine. Look, I was at Princeton once, a

1272
01:08:39,280 --> 01:08:43,320
Speaker 1: British white man who was the master of the college.

1273
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:47,800
Speaker 1: They have five divisions at Princeton of Undergraduate Living, and

1274
01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 1: they called them masters. I was an assistant master, you know.

1275
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: I was getting off on that noll. Yeah, the assistants

1276
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: and so assistant Master Mike Dyson, Baby, I made it,

1277
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: Mama Live, moving on up to the east side. I'm

1278
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:06,080
Speaker 1: a man. Oh. The thing is is that one day

1279
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm with the Master, the white guy, very smart British

1280
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,160
Speaker 1: physicist who taught it Princeton, and the police stop him

1281
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 1: and he's giving them the one for mother blank blank

1282
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: blank god, and I'm ducking, Oh my god, they're gonna

1283
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: kill this man. And then I said, no, they're not,

1284
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 1: because he's got the right skin for protection in this situation.

1285
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:31,599
Speaker 1: Or about two years ago, I'm here in Washington, DC

1286
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: at Ben's Chili Bowl out at four thirty in the morning.

1287
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 1: I do sociological research for Baccanalia at clubs, so here

1288
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: I was out one night at four thirty and this

1289
01:09:42,160 --> 01:09:45,120
Speaker 1: young white kid is cussing the piece out, you son

1290
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: of a blank blank blank, and going on, and I said,

1291
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, they're gonna hurt this kid. And then

1292
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 1: the policeman picks up the phone, calls a cab and says, son,

1293
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,679
Speaker 1: you need to go home. That's what we're talking about.

1294
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: We're just asking for common curtis indecency that you extend

1295
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:05,520
Speaker 1: to anybody that if you put your foot on somebody's

1296
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 1: neck and you're a police person and they say I

1297
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: can't breathe, you take it off. Why don't Why didn't

1298
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 1: he take it off? A he thought he could get

1299
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: away with it? Be because he did not see this

1300
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 1: as a fellow human being. The dehumanizing impulse that we

1301
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,719
Speaker 1: have often embraced in this country for somebody who's different,

1302
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: and it's being amplified. Let's tell the truth in Washington,

1303
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 1: d c. By a guy who has no idea about

1304
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: what he's doing with his rhetoric, and when he does

1305
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: have an ideal about what he's doing, he's stirring it up.

1306
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,360
Speaker 1: That's not your job as president. You're supposed to bring

1307
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: us together. You're supposed to make us understand what we

1308
01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: have in common, not trying to beat upon people when

1309
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: there's looting, they're shooting. That's a white racist stuff from

1310
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty seven in Miami that he is reviving for now.

1311
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: So my point is that when we tell the truth,

1312
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: when we're honest with each other, when white brothers and

1313
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: sisters genuinely want to know what to do and are

1314
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: willing to listen to all of us as we share

1315
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: our experiences and our understanding of the problem in situation.

1316
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,280
Speaker 1: And by the way, there are many white people who

1317
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:12,760
Speaker 1: have written brilliantly and insightfully about these issues. Then we

1318
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: will have the possibility of a better country. But if

1319
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:18,799
Speaker 1: you're just turning us on, well you missed a lot already.

1320
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: H Doctor Michael Eric Dyson is here. And even though

1321
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 1: he is, his latest book is out called can You

1322
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Hear Me Now? The Inspiration, Wisdom and Insight of Michael

1323
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Eric Dyson. Uh, there's a book he's referring to over

1324
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: and over called Tears We Cannot Stop, which is basically

1325
01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 1: coming from a very very very fun professor who happens

1326
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: to be black, or he's a black man who happen

1327
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,440
Speaker 1: to be a professor. Which one would you rather best?

1328
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 1: I can. I'll take it all, bro, I'll take it all.

1329
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Ye'll take it all. I came here with a brother,

1330
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: That's what I was first. But then I became a professor.

1331
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: And even when I was a kid in Detroit in

1332
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: the hood, they say that's a smartly a boy, he

1333
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a professor. They were prophetic, and here I am.

1334
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: I wish that he's a billionaire. Hey, you know what,

1335
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 1: even though the question may not be uh in the

1336
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: same seems like it's in the same lane where we're going.

1337
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 1: It does sort of answer some questions. Tell everyone, Michael,

1338
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: what you do for a living? I think what you

1339
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: how you tell us what you do for a living

1340
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: really makes a lot of sense here, yes, sir, well

1341
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 1: look uh, as I said, I've been a minister now

1342
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:28,639
Speaker 1: for forty one years. I'm a college professor. I didn't

1343
01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: start start college until I was twenty one. I was

1344
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:32,960
Speaker 1: a teen father, right I want. I got a big

1345
01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: scholarship out to a nice suburban white school. I'd never

1346
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: gone to school with white folks ever in my life,

1347
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: and here I am in school with Steven Spielberg's brother

1348
01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: and one of the top ten richest men in America,

1349
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: and in the classes of I'm like, man, it just

1350
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,720
Speaker 1: was mind blowing. Got kicked out of that school, went

1351
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: back and graduated from night school. I don't even know

1352
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 1: if they have that. Now, got my my geed diploma,

1353
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 1: and then um, uh you know, got a woman pregnant

1354
01:12:56,600 --> 01:12:58,519
Speaker 1: and married her. I ain't said it was a shotgun wedding,

1355
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: but a revolver was in the room. And then you know,

1356
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: got married, got a divorced twenty one years old. I

1357
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: got a son. I gotta do something better. I got

1358
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: to provide him a better life. So I went to

1359
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: Knoxville College, a historically black college down in Knoxville, Tennessee,

1360
01:13:13,320 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: studied their transferred to a Southern Baptist school, a white

1361
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,720
Speaker 1: school called Carson Newman, got a bachelor's degree, then went

1362
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:24,440
Speaker 1: on to Princeton to get a master's and PhD in religion, philosophy,

1363
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: and ethics. And I've been teaching ever since. At Hartford

1364
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:32,640
Speaker 1: Seminary in eighty eight, Chicago Theological Seminary eighty nine. Ninety two.

1365
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: I went to Brown and Talk for two years, then

1366
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill for three. Then

1367
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 1: I went to Columbia University for two years, to DePaul

1368
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: for three, then University of Pennsylvania for five, and now

1369
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: I've been at Georgetown for thirteen years. So I've been

1370
01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:52,479
Speaker 1: trying to raise the consciousness, sparked the interests of young people,

1371
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: and I teach a lot of hip hop music. I

1372
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:57,680
Speaker 1: teach a class on jay Z, and I talked to him.

1373
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: They say, who is this old man coming in here?

1374
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,719
Speaker 1: I said, when the rims in the system ain't no telling,

1375
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,559
Speaker 1: Will I love them? Will I dis them? That's what

1376
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: they'd be yelling. I'm a by blood, not relay shown.

1377
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,080
Speaker 1: Y'all still chase something. Yeah, I got lyrics. I can

1378
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: drop serious lyrics, But can you get on my side?

1379
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Can you understand what I'm talking about? So I've been

1380
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: trying to bridge the gulf between older and younger, between

1381
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 1: white and black, and brown and red and yellow in

1382
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:24,120
Speaker 1: this country, trying to forge connections, make people think, make

1383
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: them uncomfortable. I make young white people uncomfortable because I'm

1384
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: trying to challenge some of the beliefs that they have inherited.

1385
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,840
Speaker 1: I make young people of color uncomfortable sometimes because I'm

1386
01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: trying to cancel I'm trying to challenge cancel culture. I'm

1387
01:14:36,840 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: trying to make us think seriously and over the long

1388
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 1: haul about who we are as America. And so when

1389
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: they're writing my classes up, they say, boys, a lot

1390
01:14:45,080 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 1: of smart stuff going on. But why is he talking

1391
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 1: about jay Z and Kendrick Lamar and Beyonce and not

1392
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: talking about James Joyce. I can tell about James Joyce too.

1393
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: I can about Gray's elogen of courtyard, full media, gym

1394
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,559
Speaker 1: of purist ray, serene, the dark, unfeathered shaves of ocean,

1395
01:14:58,600 --> 01:15:01,600
Speaker 1: bear full million flowers to blush unseen and waste the

1396
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:03,760
Speaker 1: sweetness on the desert air. They're not gonna talk about

1397
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:05,720
Speaker 1: Snoop falling back on that aight with the hell of

1398
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: five Gates. Get Yona mic like an old betchakla Greens.

1399
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 1: That's what we do. You know what, Gandhi is a

1400
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: question for you. But before, before you go to her

1401
01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:19,520
Speaker 1: very important question, you say you love making people uncomfortable.

1402
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:21,600
Speaker 1: I gotta I don't be mad when I tell you this.

1403
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: You're making me very comfortable today, and I'm just I

1404
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:27,960
Speaker 1: just gotta say, oh my god, God, I gotta go. Yeah,

1405
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: you know you're you're obviously you're kind of failing today.

1406
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: Obviously having you here is awesome, Gandhi, you go right ahead, Okay.

1407
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: So obviously processing all of this, everybody's at a different

1408
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,719
Speaker 1: place in their processing of it. So for the people

1409
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: who are saying, yes, I understand this, I see that

1410
01:15:44,960 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: there's racism and there needs to be a change. What's

1411
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: the next step from here after you understand it and

1412
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:52,719
Speaker 1: you accept it, what do you do then to take action?

1413
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 1: That's a great question. You gotta put it into action.

1414
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta challenge yourself. At the end of

1415
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: my book, and I hate to be self promoting here,

1416
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: but at the end of years, we cannot stop. I

1417
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 1: have an entire chapter of stuff that white brothers and

1418
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: sisters can do. You know, a ten protest. We see

1419
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:08,680
Speaker 1: that's going on now, But okay, you just don't be

1420
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,120
Speaker 1: messing up stuff with the black people who are left behind.

1421
01:16:11,120 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: And then we go to jail, and you said, I

1422
01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 1: was down there with the black people. Let's be a

1423
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,519
Speaker 1: little bit more balanced there. I talk about reading, I

1424
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: talk about being self critical. I talk about individual reparations accounts. Iras.

1425
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: You ain't gotta wait for the government to tell you,

1426
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,920
Speaker 1: as white people who have of means to do something.

1427
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:29,760
Speaker 1: And I get so many letters from white people saying, man,

1428
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,480
Speaker 1: I read that chapter, and now I bought twenty computers

1429
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: for black kids in the local school who don't have it. Right,

1430
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 1: you can be creative about how to address it. The

1431
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: government cannot and will not do everything we need systematic

1432
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 1: and social and structural change. But the everyday thing that

1433
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,960
Speaker 1: people can do. Change your mind, change your heart, change

1434
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 1: your outlook. Challenge yourself. Go to a black church. If

1435
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,240
Speaker 1: you just go to white churches and be uncomfortable, imagine

1436
01:16:56,280 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: how black people feel when they go to white spaces

1437
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: all the time. Go somewhere where you are not the majority,

1438
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: and understand what that means. Get a visceral sense of

1439
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: what it means to be the other, and then understand

1440
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 1: as Americans what we are doing to try to bridge

1441
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 1: those gaps and come together. So now that you know it,

1442
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 1: you got to show it. You got to embody it,

1443
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:17,800
Speaker 1: and you got to change your mind. And when you

1444
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: change your mind, you change your practice. As the great Clinton,

1445
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: not Bill, but George Clinton said, free your mind and

1446
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Speaker 1: you're behind, will follow there you go by, Michael, I

1447
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: know you've got a very busy schedule today because this

1448
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:33,720
Speaker 1: is you, this is your super Bowl man, because you

1449
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: are so needed and so welcome. Before you leave, though,

1450
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: what do you tell people, we're white kids, what it's

1451
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: like to be black from your perspective? Right? I tell

1452
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: them that if you imagine doing everything you're supposed to do,

1453
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 1: working as hard as you can, and it still makes

1454
01:17:55,760 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: no difference that no matter who you are, that some

1455
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: people refuse to acknowledge your humanity and you got to

1456
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:06,839
Speaker 1: work extra hard just to get the ordinary stuff. Should

1457
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 1: the killers of Armored Arbory Amad Aubrey down in Georgia

1458
01:18:12,439 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: run free for a month before they're even taken into

1459
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: to jail into custody. Um, of course not. But so

1460
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,960
Speaker 1: often Black people are made to be grateful for things

1461
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: that should be a floor, and we treat them like

1462
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: a ceiling. This is the mountaintop you arrived. We arrested

1463
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,400
Speaker 1: the person who murdered you. You should do that right

1464
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: we you know, don't call the police on me. When

1465
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I go to Starbucks. People follow me around and saying

1466
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: he can't afford that. Okay, that part may be true,

1467
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: but you don't know that. You don't know that I

1468
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: can afford it or not. I painted my green card

1469
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 1: American Express black last night. I got a black card

1470
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,960
Speaker 1: right now. The point is that we've got to be

1471
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: able to do that. CNN is calling me now, so

1472
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: they're trying to get me on, but look, hand me

1473
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 1: back on. I want to hang out with y'all. Michael,

1474
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 1: thank you so much have the best day ever. We'll

1475
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: we'll remind everyone who you are and everything as you

1476
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:07,640
Speaker 1: head over to CNN. Wait, don't tell them where you're going.

1477
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna leave us and go to CNN. Don't do it, no, no,

1478
01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:13,839
Speaker 1: take money right here. This is the man, all right, Michael,

1479
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: thank you very much. Have a beautiful day to day. Okay,

1480
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: take here doctor Michael Eric Dyson. That's doctor Michael Eric Dyson.

1481
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 1: He has many books and of course many resources from

1482
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: him online and by the way, he was in our

1483
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: zoom room. We recorded it and we would be posting

1484
01:19:28,280 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: that as well. Thank you so much for listening today.

1485
01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,599
Speaker 1: It's a very special, special day. We have three things

1486
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,000
Speaker 1: from Gandhi. Let's get into those three things right now. Gandhi,

1487
01:19:36,240 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: what is going on? All right? I think we all

1488
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,600
Speaker 1: know what's going on. We've seen a lot of it.

1489
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:44,000
Speaker 1: This weekend. America was on fire and troops have arrived

1490
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: following unruly demonstrations. All weekend and just about every major

1491
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,720
Speaker 1: metro area in the country there were protests to mark

1492
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,679
Speaker 1: the murder of George Floyd, which took place a week ago. Today,

1493
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the demonstrations were peaceful. There were

1494
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,720
Speaker 1: some hot zones that resulted in the National Guard being

1495
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:02,560
Speaker 1: called out. At press time, military boots were on the

1496
01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,720
Speaker 1: ground in fifteen states and in Washington, DC. At least

1497
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 1: twenty five cities are under curfew, and there's a lot

1498
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: of debate as to who the violent agitators are. Numerous

1499
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: city officials say the worst offenders were from outside the

1500
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 1: city or state where the worst riots and lootings have occurred.

1501
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: The attorney general for the family of George Floyd says

1502
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: that he's unclear. Well, I'm sorry, not the attorney general.

1503
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: The attorney for the family of George Floyd says that

1504
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: he's unclear why the police officer accused of his murder

1505
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: isn't facing more severe charges, saying that there was intent

1506
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: because he refused to get off George Floyd once he

1507
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: became unresponsive. The former officer is facing third degree murder

1508
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 1: and second degree manslaughter charges. Folks are also baffled that

1509
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,360
Speaker 1: the other three officers at the scene are not facing

1510
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: charges right now, and as multiple reports also roll in

1511
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: about the press getting injured while covering protests, Governor Tim

1512
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: Waltz is unhappy and wants to change that as well.

1513
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:54,639
Speaker 1: On Sunday, he apologized and took responsibility for some press

1514
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:57,680
Speaker 1: members being injured, even though it's not his fault. In particular,

1515
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: he is saying the Minnesota Department of Public Safety wants

1516
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: journalists to know, please wear credentials if you have anything

1517
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: to do with the press, make sure those credentials are

1518
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,439
Speaker 1: seen from four feet away because it's hard to tell

1519
01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 1: who's who, and lots of people are getting wrapped up

1520
01:21:09,439 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: and everything that's going on right now. And those are

1521
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:14,920
Speaker 1: your three things. Thank you, Goddy. Danielle. I've got to

1522

01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: Kylie Jenner of she a billionaire agan as of right now,

1524
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,599
Speaker 1: she's still not worth as much as she thought. Oh

1525
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: my gosh, how on that? Yeah, she's like four hundred

Speaker 1: millions something like that. Keep on because that is the

1527
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:37,080
Speaker 1: important issue of the day. We need to take a break.

1528
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Let's let us cool off because it's scorched. It's great,

1529
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:44,920
Speaker 1: it's awesome. We'll be back right after this. Norton three sixty.

1530
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: But LifeLock provides and all in one protection. No one

1531
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: can prevent all cyber crime and identity theft. But Norton

1532
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: three sixty with LifeLock is a powerful ally for your

1533

Speaker 1: year at Norton dot com. Slash Elvis in the Morning Show.

1535
01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 1: Imagine a world where the only fires we have aren't

1536
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: burning down buildings and police cruisers, but they're on Daniel

1537
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 1: stove boiling some pasta on a fireplace. The only fires

1538
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: we need maybe burning the occasional joint here and there.

1539
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: Imagine a world where the only gun shooting is actually

1540
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: those NERF guns that Gandhi and her boyfriend are using

1541
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:30,840
Speaker 1: on each other. Imagine that. Imagine a world where the

1542
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: only time you see a man holding down another man

1543
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: on the ground, it's on a football field and it's

1544
01:22:36,280 --> 01:22:39,160
Speaker 1: it's called a tackle. You know, it's on Monday night

1545
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: football those that's the world we're looking forward. Look, this

1546
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: show has enjoyed tremendous success. We designed it to be

1547
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: a place where listeners could go for twenty minutes or

1548
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: an hour to get away from the negative and forget

1549
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: about the traffic and the bad boss and the chemotherapy

1550
01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: and the politics. But now we've learned of late that

1551
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 1: it's become the show to go to to get away

1552
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,600
Speaker 1: from what's important. And that's where I feel like I

1553
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: have failed. I have failed you, and I just want

1554
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:10,600
Speaker 1: you to have a detour around the fact that I

1555
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,680
Speaker 1: wanted I wanted you to have a detour around the

1556
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: fact that George Floyd was murdered by a cop. A

1557
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,640
Speaker 1: black man was murdered by a cop in Minneapolis, A

1558
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:22,880
Speaker 1: murdered by a man who who swore to protect him,

1559
01:23:23,520 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: and I thought that's what I needed to do. Then

1560
01:23:28,600 --> 01:23:30,880
Speaker 1: we look back at all the murders that we've reported

1561
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:33,880
Speaker 1: and we were like, oh, oh, no, another another black

1562
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:35,880
Speaker 1: person's died, and it makes us very sad, and then

1563
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: we move on. It's like cancer, you know, it's something

1564
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: we all grew up hearing about. In heart attacks, it's

1565
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, racism. These are racism, cancer, heart attacks, three

1566
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: things we all just grew up hearing. They made us sad.

1567
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 1: We appreciated the fact that they were not right and

1568
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:53,439
Speaker 1: not good, but then we just picked up and carried on.

1569
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: But as far as cancer and heart attacks go, we

1570
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: can flatten those curves with exercise and better eating and

1571
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: healthier lifestyle. I wish I could go to the doctor

1572
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,559
Speaker 1: and say, hey, I'm a racist, can you and it's

1573
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: in my brain. Can you bypass the racism in my heart?

1574
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,680
Speaker 1: How about that? Bypass the racism in my heart? Or

1575
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: can you find a way in my brain to just,

1576
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: you know, move around the racism. You know, it'd be

1577
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: nice if doctors could put a flattening on that curve

1578
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: as well. So anyway, here we are today doing a

1579
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: very special show, and we've been watching the text messages.

1580
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: They're saying a lot of things. One thing were many

1581
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 1: things we're hearing from people is they don't like this.

1582
01:24:36,040 --> 01:24:38,559
Speaker 1: It makes them uncomfortable. They want to be entertained today.

1583
01:24:38,800 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: And I just could not wake up, None of us

1584
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 1: on this show could wake up and not do this

1585
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: show today. What do you want us to do? You know,

1586
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:47,559
Speaker 1: I don't even know why I'm saying anything, because if

1587
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 1: the people who don't like it are probably not listening anyway,

1588
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,560
Speaker 1: all right, but here we are. What else are you

1589
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: seeing on the text messages today? Straight names? We've seen.

1590
01:24:57,439 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of things, uh, you know, coming

1591
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: on the text messages, a lot of emotions. One of

1592
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 1: the things that I've been seeing predominantly though, is not

1593
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:10,880
Speaker 1: understanding why people are causing property damage and and there's

1594
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: been violence there that's one thing that people are very

1595
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,760
Speaker 1: concerned about. They they know that the message needs to

1596
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:18,720
Speaker 1: get out there. They just don't appreciate the fact that

1597
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 1: some people are taking it to that level that is

1598
01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: violent and damaging. And I think that's a that's a

1599
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:27,559
Speaker 1: huge point a lot of people are making this morning

1600
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: on text and on phone calls. I was reading the

1601
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: news this morning here in New York, the New York Post.

1602
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 1: They're talking about how in Soho, just a few blocks

1603
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:37,599
Speaker 1: away from our our studios. Uh, there was a lot

1604
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: of looting going on. But you know what, they weren't

1605
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:41,880
Speaker 1: out they're making a social message. They were in there.

1606
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,280
Speaker 1: They were at the Gucci store. Okay, they were at

1607
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: the Fending store. They were they were they went shopping.

1608
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: Is on Saturday night in Rodeo Drive. They cleaned out

1609
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: the Alexander McQueen store. And I'm like that that's not

1610
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: sending a message. That that's not social justice, that's a crime.

1611
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 1: Well you're gonna so now what this means is you're

1612
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of bad people wearing really great clothing.

1613
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: That's really are these are businesses and you know, a

1614
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: Gucci aside, there are so many mom and pop businesses

1615
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,120
Speaker 1: that are being destroyed. Did you see the story about

1616
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:16,519
Speaker 1: the elderly couple that has those They have a business

1617
01:26:16,560 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 1: up in Rochester and they were beaten by some thugs.

1618
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: They're like, just trying to make a living, you know, Yeah,

1619
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw the guy in Dallas who

1620
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: tried to who tried to save his own business and

1621
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,240
Speaker 1: they beat him almost to death. He was laying in

1622
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 1: the road unconscious. He did not die, but ready did

1623
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:33,760
Speaker 1: not die. But that's just another one. He was trying

1624
01:26:33,800 --> 01:26:35,640
Speaker 1: to protect what he had, and all he had was

1625
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:39,719
Speaker 1: his business. What's that, Gandhi? The people who are doing

1626
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:42,720
Speaker 1: this personally, it's making me insane because it's really detracting

1627
01:26:42,760 --> 01:26:45,080
Speaker 1: from the original message of what needs to be heard

1628
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: and what is going on in the action that needs

1629
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: to be taken to get it done. And just like

1630
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: everybody says nobody hates a bad cop like a good cop,

1631
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 1: I think nobody hates the looters like a good peaceful

1632
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: protester who's trying to get a message across. And it's

1633
01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:01,599
Speaker 1: not helping the community. It's not helping anybody. There's nothing

1634
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:04,639
Speaker 1: that's being helped by destroying this kind of stuff. If

1635
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: The problem is we haven't been heard. We have people's

1636
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: attention now, and now is the time to not do

1637
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 1: those things, not go shopping, because it's an opportunity at

1638
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: a moment where the world is crying reading your Twitter.

1639
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: Just heard Michael Dyson on Elvis Durrant show. As I

1640
01:27:21,640 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: listened to what he had to say, I ordered a

1641
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:24,840
Speaker 1: copy of his book tire As We Cannot Stop, a

1642
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 1: sermon to wide America. He talked about constructive things that I,

1643
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: as a white person, can do, and I want to

1644
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: do these things. I want to help. Thank you Ali

1645
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: for sending me that tweet. Look at that. We just

1646
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 1: sold another book from Michael Hey, good hey to the

1647
01:27:40,600 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: point of peaceful protesting turning into something they shouldn't turn into.

1648
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:51,479
Speaker 1: Killer Mike an excellent artist from Atlanta. Also, he has

1649
01:27:51,479 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 1: that show in Netflix called Trigger Warning. He was actually

1650
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: invited to speak at the mayor's press conference and he

1651
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: talked out how much he loves the city of Atlanta,

1652
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 1: and if you live in Atlanta, you know what he's

1653
01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:06,280
Speaker 1: about to say. But if you don't, he could be

1654
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: talking about your love you have for your city and

1655
01:28:08,840 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: how it's crushing you to see what's going on here is.

1656
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: We're not gonna play the whole thing. It's very long,

1657
01:28:13,520 --> 01:28:14,680
Speaker 1: but I want I want to play some of this.

1658
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: I want you to hear his passion. This is killer

1659
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: Mike from Atlanta. I didn't want to come and I

1660
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: don't want to be here. I'm the son of an

1661
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:32,200
Speaker 1: Atlanta City Police officer. Oh my cousin is Atlanta City

1662
01:28:32,280 --> 01:28:36,000
Speaker 1: police officer, and my other cousini's point police officer. And

1663
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:39,560
Speaker 1: I got a lot of love and respect for police officers,

1664
01:28:40,080 --> 01:28:43,479
Speaker 1: down to the original eight police officers in Atlanta that,

1665
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 1: even after becoming police, had to dress in a YMCA

1666
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 1: because white officers didn't want to get dressed. And here

1667
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 1: we are, eighty years later. I watched a white officer

1668
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: assassination a black man, and I know that tore your

1669
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:08,760
Speaker 1: heart out and I know it's crippling. And I have

1670
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: nothing positive to say in this moment because I don't

1671
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:18,040
Speaker 1: want to be here, but I'm responsible to be here

1672
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:23,679
Speaker 1: because it wasn't just doctor King and people dressed nicely

1673
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,800
Speaker 1: who marched and protested to progress this city. In so

1674
01:29:27,920 --> 01:29:31,840
Speaker 1: many other cities, it was people like my grandmother, people

1675
01:29:31,880 --> 01:29:34,919
Speaker 1: like my aunts and uncles who were members of SCLC

1676
01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 1: and NAACP, and in particular Reverend James Orange, Missus Alice Johnson,

1677
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:46,639
Speaker 1: and Reverend Love who we just lost last year. So

1678
01:29:46,680 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm duty bound to be here to simply say that

1679
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 1: it is your duty not to burn your own house

1680
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 1: down for anger with an enemy. It is your duty

1681
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:02,519
Speaker 1: to fortify your own house so that you may be

1682
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:06,760
Speaker 1: a house of refuge in times of organization. And now

1683
01:30:06,920 --> 01:30:14,440
Speaker 1: is the time to plot, plan, strategize, organize, and mobilize.

1684
01:30:14,880 --> 01:30:18,400
Speaker 1: It is time to beat up prosecutors you don't like

1685
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:22,720
Speaker 1: it devoting booth. It is time to hold maorial offices accountable,

1686
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:27,479
Speaker 1: chiefs and deputy chiefs. Atlanta is not perfect, but we're

1687
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:29,640
Speaker 1: a lot better than we ever were, and we're a

1688
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 1: lot better than cities are. I'm mad as hell. I

1689
01:30:35,400 --> 01:30:38,200
Speaker 1: woke up wanting to see the world burned down yesterday,

1690
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 1: but some tired seeing black men die. He casually put

1691
01:30:44,840 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: his knee on a human being's neck for nine minutes

1692
01:30:49,680 --> 01:30:53,600
Speaker 1: as he died like a zebra in the clutch of

1693
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: a lion's jaw. And we watch it like murder porn,

1694
01:30:57,800 --> 01:31:01,080
Speaker 1: over and over again. So that's why children are burning

1695
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 1: to the ground. They don't know what else to do,

1696
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:09,280
Speaker 1: And it is the responsibility of us to make this better.

1697
01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:13,560
Speaker 1: Right now, we don't want to see one officer charge.

1698
01:31:13,760 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 1: We want to see four officers prosecuted and sentenced. We

1699
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: don't want to see targets burning. We want to see

1700
01:31:22,880 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 1: the system that sets up for systemic racism burned to

1701
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:33,439
Speaker 1: the ground. And as I sit here in Georgia, Thomas Stevens, Georgia,

1702
01:31:33,560 --> 01:31:39,200
Speaker 1: former vice president of the Confederacy white Man, said that law,

1703
01:31:39,439 --> 01:31:44,040
Speaker 1: fundamental law, stated that whites were naturally the superior race,

1704
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: and the Confederacy was built on a cornerstone. It's called

1705
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,360
Speaker 1: a cornerstone speech. He looking up the cornerstone speech that

1706
01:31:50,400 --> 01:31:54,519
Speaker 1: blacks would always be subordinate. That officer believed that speech

1707
01:31:55,120 --> 01:32:00,080
Speaker 1: because he killed that man like an animal. In this city,

1708
01:32:00,120 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: officers have done horrendous things, and they have been prosecuted.

1709
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: This city's cut different. In this city, you can find

1710
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 1: over fifty restaurants owned by black women. I didn't say minority,

1711
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: and I didn't say women of color. So after you're

1712
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 1: burned down your own home, what do you have left?

1713
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:24,720
Speaker 1: But char and ash CNN TED did a great thing.

1714
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: I love CNN, I love Cartoon Network, but I'd like

1715
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:32,799
Speaker 1: to say to CNN right now, karmas a mother, Stop

1716
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: feeding fear and anger every day. Stop making people feel

1717
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 1: so fearful, Give them hope. I'm glad they only took

1718
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 1: down a sign and defaced the building, and they're not

1719
01:32:43,360 --> 01:32:47,280
Speaker 1: killing human beings like that policeman did. I'm glad that

1720
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:49,599
Speaker 1: they only destroyed some brick and martyr and they didn't

1721
01:32:49,680 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 1: rip a father from a son. They didn't rip a

1722
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:58,240
Speaker 1: son from a mother like the policeman did. When a

1723
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 1: man yells for his mother and to rest in pain

1724
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:05,040
Speaker 1: and she's dead, kid is essentially yelling, please, God, don't

1725
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:07,479
Speaker 1: let it happen to me, and we watch that. So

1726
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,439
Speaker 1: my question for us on the other side of this

1727
01:33:09,560 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: camera is, after it burns, will we be left with

1728
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 1: charge or will be rise like a phoenix out of

1729
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: the ashes that Atlanta has always done. Will we use

1730
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 1: this as a moment to say that we will not

1731
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:23,600
Speaker 1: do what other cities have done, and in fact, we

1732
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:26,160
Speaker 1: will get better than we've been. We got good enough

1733
01:33:26,200 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 1: to destroy cash buns. You don't have to worry about

1734
01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:31,519
Speaker 1: going to jail for some petty. We got smart enough

1735
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: to decriminalize marijuana. How smart are we gonna be in

1736
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: the next fifteen or twenty years to keep us ahead

1737
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 1: of this curve, so that much like when South Africa

1738
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:43,120
Speaker 1: suffered apartheid, you had Andy and other politicians that could

1739
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:45,599
Speaker 1: make sure that Atlanta said, Coca Cola, we love you,

1740
01:33:46,439 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: but if you don't pull out of South Africa, we're

1741
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,719
Speaker 1: gonna leave. We're gonna going to drink Coca Cola anymore.

1742
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,439
Speaker 1: And Coca Cola jumped on the side and apartheid ended.

1743
01:33:54,479 --> 01:33:57,600
Speaker 1: So we have an opportunity now. Because I'm mad, I

1744
01:33:57,640 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 1: don't have any good vice, but what I can tell

1745
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:02,599
Speaker 1: you is that if you sit in your homes tonight

1746
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,439
Speaker 1: instead of burning your home to the ground, you will

1747
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: have time to properly plot, plan, strategize, and organize and

1748
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,599
Speaker 1: mobilize an effective way. And two of the most effective

1749
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:15,360
Speaker 1: ways is first taking your butt to the computer and

1750
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:17,599
Speaker 1: making sure you feel out the senses so that people

1751
01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,080
Speaker 1: know who you are and where you are. The next

1752
01:34:20,080 --> 01:34:23,160
Speaker 1: thing is making sure you exercise your political bully power

1753
01:34:23,320 --> 01:34:26,440
Speaker 1: and going to local elections and beating up the politicians

1754
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: that you don't like. You got to prosecutor, sent your

1755
01:34:29,040 --> 01:34:31,200
Speaker 1: pocket to jail, and you know it was put a

1756
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,760
Speaker 1: new prosecutor in there. Now's your election to do it.

1757
01:34:34,240 --> 01:34:36,639
Speaker 1: You want a different senator that's more progressive that proch

1758
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Mayor wanted through, Now's the time to do that. But

1759
01:34:39,080 --> 01:34:41,160
Speaker 1: it is not time to burn down your own home.

1760
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 1: There you go, killer Mike. Here's here's the thing about that.

1761
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Listen to how proud he is if this city, and

1762
01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: he even gives props to the city, Atlanta is a

1763
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 1: different city. I lived there for about a year and

1764
01:34:56,600 --> 01:34:58,639
Speaker 1: I learned a lot about that. I wish I could

1765
01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,679
Speaker 1: have stayed longer, but they fired me. But it's another story.

1766
01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,800
Speaker 1: He talks about how you know Coca Cola is the

1767
01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 1: Coca Cola, by the way, owns Atlanta, And so people

1768
01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:11,720
Speaker 1: went to the company and by the way, when I

1769
01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 1: live there, if you if you were caught drinking a pepsi,

1770
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:15,040
Speaker 1: they would take you to jail. I swear to here,

1771
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 1: Coca Cola owns Atlanta. And they said, Coca Cola, if

1772
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 1: you don't pull out of after South Africa, whether there's

1773
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:23,880
Speaker 1: a lot of racial tension, a lot of racial problems

1774
01:35:23,920 --> 01:35:26,240
Speaker 1: and killing, then we're not going to support you anymore.

1775
01:35:26,439 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: And they did it. You know that's that those are

1776
01:35:28,920 --> 01:35:31,400
Speaker 1: the big changes. Those are like big boy changes, the

1777
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,040
Speaker 1: stuff that we wish we could all do. So we've

1778
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:35,679
Speaker 1: got to make those big changes in our own speed,

1779
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 1: at our own rate and at the way we can

1780
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:40,559
Speaker 1: do it. Thank you, Killer Mike, and hey Garrett, thanks

1781
01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:43,519
Speaker 1: for pulling that sound and editing out to the We

1782
01:35:43,560 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 1: had to edit because it's the FCC listening, So thank

1783
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:47,360
Speaker 1: you for doing that. Not a problem, and if you

1784
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:50,479
Speaker 1: get a chance, please go watch the full thing. Does

1785
01:35:50,479 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 1: anyone here want to talk about what Killer Mike has

1786
01:35:52,560 --> 01:35:58,640
Speaker 1: talked about? Are we are we cool? Yeah? Gone? You

1787
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 1: hear me now? Okay? Um? I love Killer Mike. When

1788
01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 1: I saw what he said, I felt like, Wow, that's

1789
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 1: exactly what I'm trying to get across. That's exactly the

1790
01:36:07,040 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: message I'm trying to say. And sometimes it feels so

1791
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,200
Speaker 1: good just to hear it come from another person, especially

1792
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,000
Speaker 1: somebody who's so respected in that community. And I think

1793
01:36:14,040 --> 01:36:16,240
Speaker 1: he's saying exactly what a lot of people are feeling

1794
01:36:16,280 --> 01:36:22,120
Speaker 1: right now. I like that. Right. Let's get into sound

1795
01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 1: with Garrett. He's got a lot of stuff today. Garrett,

1796
01:36:23,920 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: where do you want to start? What do you have?

1797
01:36:25,439 --> 01:36:27,880
Speaker 1: You want to start with the Cuomos they had a

1798
01:36:27,920 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: lot to say over the weekend. You're gonna start, give me,

1799
01:36:31,280 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 1: give me one Cuomo, give me your favorite Cuomo. Let's

1800
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:38,080
Speaker 1: start with Governor Andrew Cuomo. He was speaking about the

1801
01:36:38,120 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: fact that nothing has changed about racism over the last

1802
01:36:41,439 --> 01:36:45,720
Speaker 1: thirty years. Seen this from Rodney King forward. I mean

1803
01:36:45,880 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 1: I was there for Imadu Diallo. I was there for

1804
01:36:50,560 --> 01:36:55,559
Speaker 1: having Alima, and then you have Eric Garner and then

1805
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: you have George Floyd. It's the same case. Just change

1806
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 1: a couple of facts. It's the same exact situation. It's

1807
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: been thirty years since Rodney King. I'm gonna do Diallo

1808
01:37:13,479 --> 01:37:20,759
Speaker 1: in New York reported one a pullit surprise for the reporting. Wow,

1810
01:37:26,960 --> 01:37:32,800
Speaker 1: what happened? What was the resolution? Where was the progress?

1811
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: Eric Garner, No, I'm with the protesters, Thank you very much.

1812
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 1: Now we got from his press conference on Saturday. Okay, good?

1813

Speaker 1: we we we should now we'll do him in the

1815
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 1: bonus hour. Um, all right, let's talk about SpaceX. It

1816
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:57,760
Speaker 1: got up off the ground over the weekend, and uh,

1817
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:00,600
Speaker 1: we have if I'm pretty sure Froggy got to see it.

1818
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,800
Speaker 1: We got to hear what it sounded like when they

1819
01:38:03,880 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 1: took off three two zero Ignition flipt up the Falcon

1820
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:18,400
Speaker 1: line and Green Dragon by Jack got bet fot a dog. Wow.

1821
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 1: Don't you wish you were on that rocket with him?

1822
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:25,040
Speaker 1: It was my favorite meme of the whole weekend. This said,

1823
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: those two astronauts that left Earth today, they had a

1824
01:38:27,280 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: good idea. So Frog, you went down, You went down

1825
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:32,600
Speaker 1: to the bridge and watched the whole thing. How was

1826
01:38:32,640 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 1: that experience for you? And were you socially distancing and

1827
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:37,839
Speaker 1: being a good boy? We were not socially distancing. Everybody

1828
01:38:37,880 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: was standing on the bridge because there were so many

1829
01:38:39,360 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: people trying to fit on the bridge watching it. But

1830
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 1: we were all looking on the horizon, and then all

1831
01:38:43,040 --> 01:38:44,760
Speaker 1: of a sudden, somebody saying, no, no, look above us,

1832
01:38:44,760 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: because the Earth is obviously round, and the Earth is

1833
01:38:46,960 --> 01:38:48,400
Speaker 1: not flat, and as some people think it is, the

1834
01:38:48,479 --> 01:38:50,960
Speaker 1: Earth is round. And so it started going. It was

1835
01:38:51,040 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 1: more at that point above us, more than it was

1836
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 1: out in the horizon. But you could just see the

1837
01:38:54,960 --> 01:38:57,080
Speaker 1: little rocket plume going in the sky. It was really,

1838
01:38:57,080 --> 01:39:00,320
Speaker 1: really super cool and it was cool on set Saturday,

1839
01:39:00,360 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 1: after everything that had happened on Friday night, it was

1840
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:05,240
Speaker 1: cool on Saturday for there to be a moment of

1841
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: people coming together and being happy for a few minutes

1842
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 1: watching this, I love that well. Was I the only

1843
01:39:09,800 --> 01:39:11,599
Speaker 1: one who was sitting here as they were launching, going,

1844
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 1: please do not go wrong? Know, no, we couldn't be. Yeah.

1845
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:24,400
Speaker 1: I just feel like the whole way, the whole year

1846
01:39:24,439 --> 01:39:27,120
Speaker 1: has been going, I now expect everything to go wrong.

1847
01:39:27,320 --> 01:39:29,719
Speaker 1: So I was watching it with like my eyes half covered,

1848
01:39:29,960 --> 01:39:31,559
Speaker 1: like I would watch a scary movie, like please please,

1849
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: please please please. Okay, Hey, Danielle, what Gandhi just said

1850
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: is that do you feel that sometimes too, Like you

1851
01:39:36,920 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: feel like everything's gonna go wrong? Oh? This year? Oh yeah,

1852
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: this is it. This is the year the like whatever

1853
01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: anyone tries, it's just that's it. Right. But you know what,

1854
01:39:48,439 --> 01:39:50,400
Speaker 1: but don't you Okay, let me ask you a question.

1855
01:39:50,400 --> 01:39:53,639
Speaker 1: And Danielle, for obvious reasons, losing your father, you could

1856
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,760
Speaker 1: quickly answer this, but I had to stop and think.

1857
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:59,599
Speaker 1: I remember us saying, God, I can't wait till twenty

1858
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: nineteen is over. This year sucks. Oh yeah, wait a

1859
01:40:03,720 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 1: minute happening, Jesus end. I had a great year up

1860
01:40:10,720 --> 01:40:14,439
Speaker 1: until around the middle of October of last year, and

1861
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:18,120
Speaker 1: then crap hit the bed and it hasn't really gotten better.

1862
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:23,400
Speaker 1: So there you go. Yes, Dray, I can honestly say

1863
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:25,760
Speaker 1: I almost died twice last year. This year has been

1864
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:32,320
Speaker 1: worse than last year. I spent over a month in

1865
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:34,639
Speaker 1: the hospital. Last year I almost died twice. This year

1866
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:39,760
Speaker 1: is still worse than last year. Wait, maybe my son

1867
01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 1: President and I are so afraid that something's still going

1868
01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:44,519
Speaker 1: to happen to Nate because how crappy this year has been.

1869
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:48,840
Speaker 1: In our prayers every night we still say please take

1870
01:40:48,880 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 1: care of Nate night. We all pray for n But

1871
01:40:56,240 --> 01:40:59,439
Speaker 1: I tell you, but watching watching SpaceX in the launch,

1872
01:41:00,040 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 1: it was just God, this is great. Just for a moment,

1873
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 1: it's awesome. But can you imagine when they arrived at

1874
01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:09,439
Speaker 1: the the space station. Can you imagine being in there

1875
01:41:09,479 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: and you hear this hello, be quiet. I don't want

1876
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:18,439
Speaker 1: them to know where home. I don't know who they

1877

01:41:42,800 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 1: four year old and a two year old. They're like,

1887

01:41:59,560 --> 01:42:06,639
Speaker 1: call us two zero one story in the morning show. Yeah,

1893
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: there's a bonus if you call one eight hundred and

1894
01:42:08,760 --> 01:42:11,400
Speaker 1: two for two zero one hundred straight. Nate's gonna flirt

1895
01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 1: with you. Oh, Nate, I just noticed that Bonnie was

1896
01:42:16,040 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: on hold thirty minutes ago. Is she still on hold? No,

1897
01:42:18,600 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call her back later and we have a

1898
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,640
Speaker 1: little bit more time. Let me know. I'm sorry, it

1899
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:28,800
Speaker 1: just you know, Yeah, No, the day's not over. Day's

1900
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 1: not over. We've lost a lot of listeners today, Guys,

1901
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 1: we got work to do. Yeah, I think it happens.

1902
01:42:36,160 --> 01:42:38,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I know I've been kind of vocal about things,

1903
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,599
Speaker 1: and I know I've lost Instagram followers, and I think

1904
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 1: that's just part of part of what speaking your mind

1905
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 1: comes with. It is what it is. Yeah, you know, so,

1906
01:42:47,160 --> 01:42:49,720
Speaker 1: so I gotta think about it this way. It's either

1907
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:56,120
Speaker 1: we either we you know, keep it simple and keep

1908
01:42:56,160 --> 01:43:01,680
Speaker 1: it easy and more people will be okay and non offended,

1909
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:04,600
Speaker 1: or we can actually come in here and do what

1910
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 1: our conscience told us we had to do today. And

1911
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 1: you know what, here's my question, and I can't ask

1912
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,759
Speaker 1: anyone because they've turned us off. My question would be, okay,

1913
01:43:12,280 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 1: you have your own reason for not wanting to hear

1914
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:19,439
Speaker 1: our show today. What is that Like? If I was like, oh,

1915
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: I want to turn this off, I would need to say, well,

1916
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 1: wait a minute, why do I need to turn it off?

1917
01:43:24,400 --> 01:43:29,479
Speaker 1: Let's explore that what's going on there? You know, maybe

1918
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:32,920
Speaker 1: people just people do need a little relief from the news,

1919
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:35,719
Speaker 1: you know what, and what Killer Mike was saying about

1920
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,759
Speaker 1: ce Ann let me tell you they you know, they're

1921
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 1: really great and Fox News too, They're both really great

1922
01:43:42,479 --> 01:43:44,679
Speaker 1: at finding the stories that are gonna make you, gonna

1923
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:48,320
Speaker 1: make you go, oh my god. But it's story after

1924
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 1: story after story after story of oh my god, and

1925
01:43:51,640 --> 01:43:53,920
Speaker 1: then after a while you're like, oh my god, this

1926
01:43:54,000 --> 01:43:58,000
Speaker 1: is this is too much. So maybe people are expecting

1927
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,800
Speaker 1: and needing for us to come in here today and

1928
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:02,400
Speaker 1: play nice and play safe and be nice and fair

1929
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:05,759
Speaker 1: on the playground, and we can't do that today. Yeah, gandhi,

1930
01:44:05,800 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 1: what do you think. I think we've been seeing on

1931
01:44:08,360 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 1: the TV a lot of the rioting and the destruction

1932
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:12,920
Speaker 1: and all the bad stuff that's going on. I think

1933
01:44:12,960 --> 01:44:14,479
Speaker 1: we need to see a lot more of which I

1934
01:44:14,560 --> 01:44:16,879
Speaker 1: have been seeing, and I'm seeking it out of police

1935
01:44:16,880 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: and protesters coming together and having beautiful moments of police

1936
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:23,040
Speaker 1: marching with them, of the guy at Flint who said,

1937
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:24,880
Speaker 1: let's turn this into a parade, let's not make it

1938
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:27,320
Speaker 1: a riot, cops taking a knee with them, like, there

1939
01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:30,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of those beautiful moments. Protesters protecting a

1940
01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:33,479
Speaker 1: police officer who got separated from everybody. There are those moments,

1941
01:44:33,520 --> 01:44:35,240
Speaker 1: and I wish we could see that and focus on

1942
01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: that more than the bad stuff that's going on. Yeah,

1943
01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,599
Speaker 1: that doesn't get their ratings, like they when they show

1944
01:44:40,640 --> 01:44:43,720
Speaker 1: the rioting and the looting and the buildings burning, that's

1945
01:44:43,720 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 1: what they want to show versus there are peaceful protests

1946
01:44:47,040 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: going on, and I know here in Jacksonville we had

1947
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:52,599
Speaker 1: a peaceful protest on Saturday night. It started out, there

1948
01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:56,559
Speaker 1: were no problems whatsoever. As the peaceful protests started ending,

1949
01:44:56,720 --> 01:45:00,280
Speaker 1: a few of them hung around and then it turned violent.

1950
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:02,759
Speaker 1: And that's not what it was about. It was peaceful.

1951
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: It was the ones that are beautiful and the ones

1952
01:45:07,479 --> 01:45:10,320
Speaker 1: that like to me like, that's the ones I want

1953
01:45:10,320 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 1: to listen to, and that's the ones that are getting

1954
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:15,120
Speaker 1: my attention because I'm like, wow, look at the message

1955
01:45:15,160 --> 01:45:18,800
Speaker 1: that they're sending. This is such a positive message and

1956
01:45:18,840 --> 01:45:21,639
Speaker 1: they want to be heard like the other negative stuff.

1957
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I'm turning that off. I don't want

1958
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:27,400
Speaker 1: to see you doing that nasty stuff. I'm sorry, that's

1959
01:45:27,840 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: that I'm not going to listen to that. I need

1960
01:45:30,240 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 1: to assume. Danielle Gandhi Froggy Scary straighten everyone that when

1961
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:38,960
Speaker 1: you see violence erupting, it's either a from the boiling

1962
01:45:39,000 --> 01:45:42,519
Speaker 1: point hit and there's rage and you're just sick and

1963
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:45,080
Speaker 1: tired of this whole thing. But also some of this,

1964
01:45:45,920 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 1: you know, some of this is going on conveniently in

1965
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 1: front of the Apple store. Yeah, yes, what are you

1966
01:45:55,600 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 1: doing with that? Yeah? In in Soho, just above our

1967
01:45:59,400 --> 01:46:02,400
Speaker 1: studios and downtown Manhattan. You know, it happened right there

1968
01:46:02,400 --> 01:46:04,360
Speaker 1: at the Nike store. And I thought that was very

1969
01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 1: very interesting. Yeah. Anyway, uh, please please, let's be safe,

1970
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:12,640
Speaker 1: and let's appreciate the fact that you know, there are some,

1971
01:46:12,920 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: there are many, there are many peaceful protests out there.

1972
01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:17,840
Speaker 1: And I would love to see CNN and Fox News all.

1973
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: I would love to see them turn those cameras on.

1974
01:46:20,520 --> 01:46:24,960
Speaker 1: Hey something weird. Saturday night, while the Fairfax area of

1975
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:29,479
Speaker 1: Los Angeles was it was out of control. They I mean,

1976
01:46:29,520 --> 01:46:31,640
Speaker 1: I think like eleven cop cars at once were all

1977
01:46:31,680 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 1: on fire, like within a two block radius. It was insane.

1978
01:46:35,200 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 1: And I looked standing on one of the cop cars.

1979
01:46:39,520 --> 01:46:41,639
Speaker 1: Standing up on the cop car. It was young Blood.

1980
01:46:41,720 --> 01:46:44,680
Speaker 1: Did you see him right? You tested me and you're like,

1981
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:46,920
Speaker 1: I think young Blood is on a cop car right now.

1982
01:46:47,160 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: I think it took m I was like, what I know,

1983
01:46:50,320 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: I did, and then we checked his social media feed

1984
01:46:52,320 --> 01:46:54,960
Speaker 1: and he was there. Yeah, sure enough, there's young Blood

1985
01:46:54,960 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 1: standing on a cop car Hey, Nate, I gotta go

1986
01:46:57,360 --> 01:46:59,560
Speaker 1: to you for a second. Nate is taking calls and

1987
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 1: talking to people, and you know, he's actually helped redirect

1988
01:47:02,760 --> 01:47:06,680
Speaker 1: a show into the direction where callers are asking to go.

1989
01:47:06,760 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: And what's another thing you're seeing and hearing a lot

1990
01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 1: of One of the things I'm seeing is that the

1991
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 1: message that not all cops are bad. I think this

1992
01:47:14,280 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 1: is really kind of boiling into you know, you know,

1993
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 1: us versus the cops, and it's not that way. The

1994
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:22,799
Speaker 1: vast majority, in my opinion and a lot of the callers,

1995
01:47:22,880 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 1: is that a lot of these cops have taken oades

1996
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,760
Speaker 1: to protect, to serve and protect, not to discriminate, and

1997
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 1: not to harass, and to take advantage of the power

1998
01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 1: that they have. And I really feel like that needs

1999
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:38,320
Speaker 1: to be made. That point needs to be made is

2000
01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:41,519
Speaker 1: that I've talked to a lot of moms this morning

2001
01:47:41,560 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 1: that they're worried for their sons and their daughters that

2002
01:47:43,479 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 1: are out there just trying to protect people and keep

2003
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 1: them safe. And I think that maybe getting lost. I know,

2004
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:51,280
Speaker 1: we have a lot of police officers that listen to

2005
01:47:51,320 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 1: the show and that they're fans and they're doing the

2006
01:47:53,479 --> 01:47:57,040
Speaker 1: right thing. I think there's a lot of great police

2007
01:47:57,080 --> 01:47:59,479
Speaker 1: officers out there, and unfortunately some of those ones, like

2008
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: last week, that just ruin it for all of them,

2009
01:48:02,040 --> 01:48:07,679
Speaker 1: and it makes some jobs so much harder. Right, Brodie's

2010
01:48:07,680 --> 01:48:10,080
Speaker 1: reminding us that many officers have taken to TikTok to

2011
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:13,120
Speaker 1: say that they are outraged as well by bad cops,

2012
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:18,120
Speaker 1: and they love serving, they love protecting. You know, you know,

2013
01:48:18,200 --> 01:48:20,320
Speaker 1: I know this, this meme has been out over and over,

2014
01:48:20,360 --> 01:48:23,800
Speaker 1: but it's bad cops are bad for good cops, and

2015
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,679
Speaker 1: it's just such an easy concept. Yes, Frog, That's exactly

2016
01:48:26,680 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: what I was going to say, is that the fact

2017
01:48:28,280 --> 01:48:32,320
Speaker 1: that a good police officer hates nothing more than a

2018
01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:34,280
Speaker 1: bad police officer because it gives them a bad name.

2019
01:48:34,280 --> 01:48:36,840
Speaker 1: And so it's not all police officers act this way.

2020
01:48:37,600 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: This one guy and the other three guys who stood

2021
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:42,639
Speaker 1: by and did nothing while he was doing this, they

2022
01:48:42,680 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 1: are all accountable, and so those guys do not represent

2023
01:48:47,080 --> 01:48:51,439
Speaker 1: all police officers across the United States. Right, Hey, you know, uh,

2024
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:53,840
Speaker 1: let me be a good gay for just a second.

2025
01:48:55,040 --> 01:48:58,519
Speaker 1: This is the beginning of Pride month. It's June, you know,

2026
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: in our Pride parade's gone. You know, all the Agewalk

2027
01:49:01,640 --> 01:49:03,840
Speaker 1: New York gone. And you know, we're trying to come

2028
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:07,920
Speaker 1: up with a virtual replacements, which is not the same.

2029
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:09,760
Speaker 1: But we'll do our best. I think we have a

2030
01:49:09,760 --> 01:49:12,360
Speaker 1: great idea here at iHeart with our friends at PNG.

2031
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:16,440
Speaker 1: I'll explain that later. But we look back at Stonewall.

2032
01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:20,080
Speaker 1: Those were riots. That wasn't a stone, That wasn't a

2033
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 1: peaceful Stonewall march. That wasn't the demonstration. That was the

2034
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 1: Stonewall riots, plain and simple and what it was. It

2035
01:49:28,800 --> 01:49:33,799
Speaker 1: was a minority of a minority group, drag queens, gays

2036
01:49:34,520 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 1: who were just beaten down by the cops every night.

2037
01:49:37,080 --> 01:49:40,719
Speaker 1: They were taking people to jail every night. And Uncle

2038
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 1: Johnny was a part of it. He remembers it some

2039
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,800
Speaker 1: of it. They were taking you to jail just because

2040
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:47,960
Speaker 1: you were dancing with someone of the same sex. They

2041
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:49,840
Speaker 1: would take you to jail. If you were sitting at

2042
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,080
Speaker 1: a bar and you turned and faced each other and talked,

2043
01:49:52,160 --> 01:49:54,439
Speaker 1: because they knew you were gay, they would arrest you.

2044
01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 1: And they just got fed up. They burned it down.

2045
01:49:57,920 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: Of course, the Stonewall is in a very concentrated part

2046
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:05,160
Speaker 1: of Greenwich Village in New York City. Uh Sheridan Square. Uh,

2047
01:50:05,600 --> 01:50:09,679
Speaker 1: what's happening these nights? Now? It's every city almost every city,

2048
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:13,800
Speaker 1: major city USA. But those Stonewall riots got us to

2049
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:17,520
Speaker 1: a point where I don't know we could have achieved

2050
01:50:17,560 --> 01:50:19,920
Speaker 1: this without it. So I don't want to be a

2051
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 1: hypocrite and sit sit here and say, I don't know

2052
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:26,519
Speaker 1: what to say. I'm torn. I don't want anyone's property

2053
01:50:26,880 --> 01:50:30,599
Speaker 1: burned down. I don't want to see that. I don't

2054
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:32,240
Speaker 1: want to see it. But I'm just looking at history

2055
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:34,160
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna give an opinion other than that.

2056
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:37,519
Speaker 1: But it's Pride Month. Thank you, smiling Stevens for reminding

2057
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: us of that. Uh yeah, Froggy, did you want to

2058
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:46,719
Speaker 1: say something? No? No? Oh good, I'm good. Hey, So

2075
01:51:46,160 --> 01:51:50,080
Speaker 1: it is. If you want high quality, like something to

2076
01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,000
Speaker 1: think about, it is not. But if you just want

2077
01:51:52,160 --> 01:51:55,760
Speaker 1: stupidity and funny, it is. Start to finish, it's so funny,

01:52:02,520 --> 01:52:08,519
Speaker 1: after this. This is Elvis Durrand in The Morning Show.

2081
01:52:11,640 --> 01:52:17,519
Speaker 1: Whoever you meet in life, black, brown, white, wish for

2082
01:52:17,560 --> 01:52:23,160
Speaker 1: them to matter more than you? Is that an unpopular

2083
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: thing to say? Probably if you, if you already know

2084
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:31,200
Speaker 1: that you matter enough, wish for others to matter more.

2085
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:36,240
Speaker 1: If you're out there struggling to find your dream, I

2086
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 1: get it. Don't do that, You're okay, Do whatever you

2087
01:52:39,880 --> 01:52:42,519
Speaker 1: can to matter more. I get that you deserve it.

2088
01:52:42,800 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 1: We all deserve it. That's the point. We all deserve.

2089
01:52:47,120 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: We all deserve what all of us have. Who are

2090
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:53,080
Speaker 1: doing doing well, we're okay. But if you come across

2091
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: someone who needs to feel like they matter, don't go

2092
01:52:58,120 --> 01:53:01,320
Speaker 1: for equality with them, go to may them. He say, hey,

2093
01:53:01,360 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 1: matter more? Tell me about you? What are you going through?

2094
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:08,920
Speaker 1: How you doing? And there you haven't. We got to

2095
01:53:08,920 --> 01:53:10,920
Speaker 1: get into the three things we need to know. Because

2096
01:53:12,040 --> 01:53:16,880
Speaker 1: Gondh's jumping up and down, she has to tell Ah,

2101
01:53:28,479 --> 01:53:32,519
Speaker 1: an awful, awful beating last night, the night was just rough.

2102
01:53:33,320 --> 01:53:38,360
Speaker 1: Yesterday during peaceful protests in Camden, New Jersey, the cops

2103
01:53:39,040 --> 01:53:41,280
Speaker 1: brought out hot dogs and hamburgers and they were playing

2104
01:53:41,280 --> 01:53:43,760
Speaker 1: basketball with the kids, and I was like, God, where

2105
01:53:43,800 --> 01:53:45,240
Speaker 1: was the I hope there was a camera there to

2106
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:48,599
Speaker 1: catch that. That's what I would love to see. All Right,

2107
01:53:48,680 --> 01:53:50,240
Speaker 1: I apologize, gone, you go right ahead, What are you

2108
01:53:50,320 --> 01:53:53,800
Speaker 1: have going on Hi. All right, Well, there was a

2109
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:56,559
Speaker 1: lot of protesting over the weekend as demands for justice

2110
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:59,320
Speaker 1: continue over the death of George Floyd, which happened a

2111
01:53:59,360 --> 01:54:02,799
Speaker 1: week ago to day. While the majority of these protests

2112
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: were peaceful, there were certain hot zones where looting in

2113
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:08,200
Speaker 1: violence erupted. Officials from those areas believe that the perpetrators

2114
01:54:08,240 --> 01:54:11,360
Speaker 1: actually came in from other regions strictly to cause havoc.

2115
01:54:11,640 --> 01:54:13,640
Speaker 1: At press time, military boots were on the ground in

2116
01:54:13,680 --> 01:54:17,160
Speaker 1: fifteen states and Washington, DC. At least twenty five cities

2117
01:54:17,200 --> 01:54:20,200
Speaker 1: are now under curfew. And Elvis just mentioned this. But

2118
01:54:20,360 --> 01:54:23,559
Speaker 1: June is Pride month, and the coronavirus pandemic is still

2119
01:54:23,600 --> 01:54:26,000
Speaker 1: going strong. It's taking a toll on hundreds of events.

2120
01:54:26,160 --> 01:54:28,439
Speaker 1: More than four hundred and seventy five Pride events across

2121
01:54:28,479 --> 01:54:31,760
Speaker 1: the US have already been canceled or postponed, obviously due

2122
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,600
Speaker 1: to fears of spreading COVID nineteen, which has now killed

2123
01:54:34,640 --> 01:54:38,200
Speaker 1: more than one hundred and three thousand Americans. And finally,

2124
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:40,320
Speaker 1: earlier we mentioned that a lot of police officers were

2125
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 1: using TikTok to send messages of support. But I don't

2126
01:54:42,720 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 1: know if you guys saw TikTok got in a little

2127
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:46,600
Speaker 1: bit of trouble this weekend. Now they're catching a lot

2128
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:50,000
Speaker 1: of heat after users noticed that the hashtags black Lives

2129
01:54:50,040 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 1: Matter and George Floyd were unable to be tagged and

2130
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:56,080
Speaker 1: videos were unable to be viewed. The company's response was

2131
01:54:56,080 --> 01:54:59,120
Speaker 1: that a random glitch was responsible for the censorship, but

2132
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,600
Speaker 1: a lot of TikTok ers are still unhappy about that

2133
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:04,960
Speaker 1: today and voicing their concern. And those are your three things.

2134
01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 1: By the way, we had such an incredible visit with

Speaker 1: He thinks he sounds like Uncle Johnny, to the point

2154
01:56:06,200 --> 01:56:08,120

01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:40,080
Speaker 1: bar for getting into a fight with a guy. He's

2164
