Okay, okay, yes, I will be 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.199 back to my Today's a good day, man. I'm feel blessed, 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.080 black and holly favored, you know, minus to b s. 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:17.680 Life's creat I thought, that's how you feel everything that 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.520 is that is, I mean, that's how I scribe to feel. 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:22.600 And if I don't feel that way, I wake up 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.800 and set my attention to try to shift my energy 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:27.679 to make myself feel that way. You know, nothing a 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.160 little prayer and a little meditation and some daily affirmations 0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.240 can't solve that's now. Let me ask you. Guys in 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.959 the room or any of y'all handy like around the 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:38.080 house can do things. Nah, not me neither. I figured 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.760 that out yesterday. So my toilet was running right. And 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:42.760 as a kid, I used to see my dad fixed 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:44.520 the toilet. Oh no, I can do that now. Nah. 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:46.600 But I bought the piece. I went to home depot, 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.200 I bought the little piece. I was like, I'm gonna 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:50.920 fix this toilet, take everything off for him. And I 0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.680 realized I ain't even got the tools to to to 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:55.600 take the thing out the toilet. Bro. I mean, listen, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.720 that's why I always encourage your kids like you know, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.880 trade school is something that we should put an emphasis 0:01:59.880 --> 0:02:02.560 on because you know, people aren't as good with their 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:06.000 hands as as the generation before us was. Plus, that's 0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:09.119 the way to always make money. Plumbers always make money. Absolutely, 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.200 Electricians always make money. People don't start laking. This is 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.240 always make money. You're right, you know what I mean. 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.280 But I think my dad called me stupid yesterday because 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:17.799 I was I put him on facetown. I was like, her, dad, 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.360 show me how to do it, and he was like, well, 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.280 you need this pool, this tool. I was like, I 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.160 ain't got that tool. He was like, you a man 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.200 and you don't have no tools. I was like, yeah, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.440 see and see. My dad will do stuff like that 0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:29.640 to me. But my problem with that is like, don't 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.920 chastise me for what you didn't teach me. You know 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:34.720 what I mean. Don't scold me for what you did 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:37.240 not teach me. So right, I see it between say, 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.440 let me sat exactly, somebody had to teach you. You 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.440 ain't teach me. To teach me that, well, I just 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.160 look everything up on YouTube. But I definitely have about 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:49.120 five different tool boxes because my dad every year gives 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.720 me like a toolbox. Oh well, I need to come 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:53.600 over and get one. Ye, so I'm borrowing once a least. 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:57.080 My dad treats me. He just I think growing up 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.600 my parents, my dad especially, would always trying to make us, 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.480 like fix things around the house and learn how to 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.880 do things. I'm pretty good at, like hooking up electronics 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.359 and stuff like that. But I got to fix my toilet. 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.400 Her company here. I'm coming to the crib to get 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.880 some of those tools because I didn't have nothing to 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:12.560 fix that. Damn. Told. Have you ever gone and used 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:14.639 somebody else's toilet and it broke while you were in there? 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:18.040 It was it was kind of broken, and then you're like, damn, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:19.280 what am I supposed to do it? I try to 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.440 fix this Number one. I would never do too much 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.160 in somebody else's. Didn't do too much. But like you 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:26.080 could just go to pan it's running or it doesn't 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.480 flush or something happens. Oh, they're on their own it, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.000 they only own. You gotta fix that toilet, bro right, 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.600 you knew that toilet was running before I went all right, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.480 you ain't trying to fix it yourself first. No, if 0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:39.800 you're toilets a running track, start and that's on you. 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:42.280 You knew that before I walked in there. That reminds 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:46.800 me of a story Angelie's manager one time. Y'all were 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.240 all in the hotel room and she blew the bathroom up. 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.560 But were not all in a hotel room. We'll explain 0:03:51.640 --> 0:03:54.160 the story. Everybody was in different rooms. But she actually 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.480 used the toilet and stopped it up. Well, that was 0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.560 Crispy Kreme. They had nothing to do with the toilet 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:04.760 being stopped up, all right, that was Krispy Kreme. From 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:08.520 the front desk. Was so disgusting. I've never seen this 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.840 type of load come out of such a beautiful woman. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:15.600 Guy was disgusting. Murder beat South Carolina that's where it happened. 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:19.480 That goodness gracious, all right, Well, good morning everybody. Let's 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.120 get the show cracking now this morning. We have a 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.839 special guest joining us. She's a gospel singer and she 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.800 just wrote a book. Kiara shared we'll be joining us 0:04:27.839 --> 0:04:30.200 this morning. Yeah, she played her mama in that Clark 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.120 Sisters movie on Lifetime. Right. The name of her book 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.719 is Big, Bold and Beautiful. That's right, And we'll be 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:38.120 talking to her this morning. And we got front page news. 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.400 What's going on? What were you talking about? You? Well, 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.920 Let's first off, give you some updates on what happened 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:47.359 with Dante. Right. His death has been ruled a homicide. Okay, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.200 we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good 0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:54.919 morning morning. Everybody is tj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:57.480 guy we all the Breakfast Club. Now, let's get in 0:04:57.560 --> 0:05:03.599 some front page news where we started. Well, the Brooklyn 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:06.160 Center police officer who shot and killed Dante right following 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.039 a traffic stop on Sunday has been identified. That officer 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.160 is cam Patter. According to a press release, she has 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.720 been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for twenty six years. 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.560 They've also released the footage where you can hear the 0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:23.279 police officer thought that she was pulling out her taser 0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:25.719 but instead pulled out her gun when she shot and 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:44.440 killed Dante right. Listen to this footage. Yeah, now, Brooklyn 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:48.640 Center Police Chief Tim Gannon said that he believed the officer, like, 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.080 we just said to your handgun instead of the tasers. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.719 You can hear she's screaming taser, Taser, Taser. Here's what 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.479 he had to say. The officer while struggling with mister 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:59.599 taser taser. That is part of the officers training prior 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.120 to the po A taser. During this encounter, however, the 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.680 officer drew their handgun instead of their taser. We train 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.880 with our handguns on our dominant side and our taser 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:12.080 on our weak side. This is done purposefully in its 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:14.159 trained As I watched the video and listened to the 0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.200 officers commands, it is my belief that the officer had 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.000 the intention to deploy their taser, but instead shot mister 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.080 Wright with a single bullet. This appears to me, from 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.279 what I viewed and the officer's reaction and distress immediately after, 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.239 that this was an accidental discharge. Hey man, I mean listen, 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.919 at this point, there's nothing to discuss here. You know, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.800 everything we could possibly say has been said before. This 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:40.040 is just a new rerun. Okay, it's the same thing 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.520 that happened in the Oscar Grand case. Am I mistaken 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.039 when I say that this isn't the first time this 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.000 has happened. They said, normally police officers put their handgun 0:06:49.200 --> 0:06:52.000 on their dominant side and then they put the taser 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.279 on the non dominant side. That way that mix ups 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:58.760 like these don't happen. And the lighter they have some 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.719 right yellow somewhere. Yeah, which which I don't understand and 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.400 is is you know, they make all these rules and 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.919 regulations to try to stop this from happening again, and 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:09.960 then it does. So what happens. But I think that's 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:11.960 the consequence. No, I think they did. I think they 0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:15.560 made that like they made protocols, They didn't extra training. 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.680 That's why she yelled taste the taser and all this stuff. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:19.880 That's why they put the you know, the the taison 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.280 on your your less dominant side, and then they made 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:23.840 it a bright color so you can see the difference. 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.480 But so what's what's what's the consequence? Now you go 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.720 through all this, but you know, the lady clearly it 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.880 was a mistake, So what is the consequence that man? 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.680 Because it wasn't what was it a mistake or strategic homicide? 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.000 You know what I'm saying? Like it's because because I 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:38.720 think if you've been on the fourth for like twenty 0:07:38.720 --> 0:07:41.480 some years, and she she should know the difference between 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.240 a gun and at this point, so I can't just 0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.040 say it was a mistake, you know. But but it 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.040 will be rule to accident, and it will be rule 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:51.520 to justify justifiable homicide, and it will be no charges 0:07:51.560 --> 0:07:54.080 and she probably will be fired, but she'll be you know, 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.120 um sent to another jurisdiction before the years old, so 0:07:57.160 --> 0:08:00.320 she'd be in another department making the same mistakes. Yeah, no, 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:02.640 I'm sure she probably she will be fired. But what 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.440 happens now, Like this man lost his life, This family 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.560 lost their child, son, just child lost his father. So 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:10.800 what are the consequences now, Yeah, you could say it 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:15.200 was a mistake, but mistakes like this can't happen. Once again, 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.840 we out here talking about new reruns. Yeah, that's the welcome. 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.680 Welcome to the sitcom Black in America, the only sitcom 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.240 that has new reruns all the time. And you know, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:26.520 she was on the force for twenty six years. They 0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.840 didn't say she had any other problems, but man lost 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.160 his Yeah, they haven't said much about anything in her 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.840 background yet. But police Chief Tim gain And said there 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.400 will be an independent investigation. Here's what else he said. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:40.640 I've asked the BCA to conducting independent investigation and in 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.400 the shooting and death. Once they are completed, I expect 0:08:43.400 --> 0:08:45.960 they will submit their findings independent of me, to the 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:49.360 appropriate authorities, the appropriate attorneys that were look and review 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:52.320 this case. The officer is currently on administrative lead. She 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:55.560 will not be returning to duty until this investigations runs course, 0:08:55.600 --> 0:08:58.200 and she for all terms of purposes. I think we 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.640 can look at the video and king whether or not 0:09:00.640 --> 0:09:02.920 she'll be returning. She'll get fired, but then you'll get 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.880 moved to another department. She'll be in another jurisdiction, jurisdiction 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.280 making the same mistakes later on in life. Listen, there 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.880 is consequences and repercussions the mild practice in every field 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:17.520 except for law enforcement. Okay, all right, well that is 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:21.480 your front page news. All right, that's that's a tough one. Man, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.440 young man lost his life. Every one they say, but 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.640 this one is they'll say it's a mistake and keep 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.800 it moving. They've done it a million times already. Like 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.680 we've seen this one once again. This is like I said, 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:35.160 this is a new rerun. We've seen it many million 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.480 times already. Certain mistakes. That's just too irresponsible. All right, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.880 but what happened if there was a protocol, what do 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.280 you mean what happened? I don't know what happens next? Like, yeah, 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.800 I agree, she can't not something that something has to happen. 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:49.920 But then you know, people will say you know it's 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:51.600 all good to you get punched in their face, right, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.400 like like everything's all good to you get punched in 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.520 the face. Yeah, she's trained and trained and trained, but 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:59.240 now when it happens, you just lose everything and don't 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:01.520 know what you're doing. He's gonna get fired and move 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:06.480 to another jurisdiction. They're gonna rule with an accident, justify, justified, buhamicide. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:10.920 It will probably be no charges. I don't see him happening. Well, 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.400 get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.320 one oh five one. If you need to vent, hit 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.240 us up right now. Phone lines to wide open. It's 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:23.320 to breakfast club. Go morning, the breakfast club. Wake up, 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.000 wake up, wake If you're trying to get it off 0:10:27.040 --> 0:10:30.760 your chest, your man of blas, we want to hear 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:35.120 from you on the breakfast club. Hello, who's this David? 0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.000 David good on to get it off your chest? Yeah, man, 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.520 I just want to talk about the shooting up in 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.719 Minnesota that the young man that was killed by police. Yes, 0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.920 it's very tragic, very unfortunate. It sucks that you know, 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.679 with twenty six years training on the floors that they 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.839 can they can simply call that a mistake. And say 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:56.720 that it was an accident, you know what I mean. Yeah, 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.680 don't don't know that this when your gun and the taser, 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.120 you don't need to have no goddamn you know what 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:02.800 I'm saying. And if you don't know how to if 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.640 you don't know how to draw your weapon properly, you 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.920 don't know whether or not you're drawing your teams or 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.880 you're gun you shouldn't be caring either. I agree. And 0:11:11.200 --> 0:11:14.240 at the same time, you know, the young man was 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:18.200 complying at first, and man, it just sucks that. You know, 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:21.040 maybe he got scared. I don't know, something caused him 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.240 to decide to try to run, and unfortunately will never 0:11:24.280 --> 0:11:26.040 know whether or not he would have just gotten off 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:28.480 with a ticket. You know what I'm saying, Because because 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.280 the officer didn't remember her training after twenty six years, 0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:34.520 she forgot what she was doing. And it sucks that 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.480 that we lost another young, innocent life behind some some 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:39.880 bs like that. Yeah, and I think that we do 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.200 have to factor in how scared you know, black people 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.719 are in these situations, and he's a kid man. We 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.880 don't know if that brother had a panic attack, you 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.640 know what I'm saying, Like anything could have happened. And 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.440 that's that you were like, like you said, she's been 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:53.680 on the force for twenty five, twenty six years, like 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.160 she shouldn't know. He wasn't a rookie. Put myself in 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.240 that situation, and you know, I asked myself what I 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.240 have remained called I'm seeing all these cops showing up. Yeah, 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.600 I have been over me. I don't know. It's been 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:07.079 a long time since I've been in that situation. Listen, 0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.720 we have such short term memories. Remember I was scared, 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:11.640 you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and we have such 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:14.800 short term memories. We just watched a lieutenant, a man 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.480 who served in the military, are growing and don't tell 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.960 y'all he would shook the death he was scared. So 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.439 imagine that little kid felt twenty years old. Yeah, man, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:28.120 it sucks. It's terrible. This before kid, my language. It 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.480 just keeps happening a way too often, man, too often. 0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.040 Then you think about you think about how a barber 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:38.240 somebody that cuts your hair has to go through more 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.720 hours of training then a police officer done. That's right, ridiculous, 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.720 that's right. I just wanted to get that off my chairs. Man. 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.960 I listened to you guys every morning. You guys have 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:51.720 a plus Tuesday. Get it off your chests eight hundred 0:12:51.840 --> 0:12:53.840 five eight five one oh five one. If you need 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.720 to vent, hit us up now. It's the breakfast Club. 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:03.600 Good morning, the breakfast Club. This is your time to 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.840 get it off your chests. Whether you're man or blessed, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:07.959 but you better have the same in We want to 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:11.000 hear from you on the breakfast class. Hello, who's this? 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:14.120 Hey did the NBA's chests from Long Island? Hey, Jess 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:15.800 could get it off at chess? You know what? I 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:18.400 was just listening to Charlotagne say how that cops should 0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.640 have had a malpractice you know how every other profession 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.800 that you know, if you're pretty serious like a cop, 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:27.080 I'm an r n um. If I make a mistake 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.640 at work, if I don't break a medication in half 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:31.840 the right way, if I do something long, I face 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.240 a lawsuit, I lose my license, I lose my job, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.400 I end up in jail if it's bad enough, Because 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:39.040 I take that in life. So something about that really 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.080 got me going. When Charlomagne and said that they should 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.480 have some sort of malpractice issue, you know, some sort 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:49.400 of a Yeah, absolutely right, absolutely right. It gets me going, 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:52.440 it really does. Yeah, every industry damned, every industry guid 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.319 an except for law enforcement. But let me ask you 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.720 a question. If a doctor does some some type of malpractice, 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.640 a mistake or accident, can you sue that doctor personally 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.600 or does he have insurance and you sue the insurance company. 0:14:02.720 --> 0:14:05.880 I'm not sure she can go to jail if it's 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:07.800 bad enough, So I assume that that's what they need 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:11.040 to do. Your license, you'll never work again. That's why 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.280 getting rid of qualified immunity it's so important, like I 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:15.280 said during dunky to Day yesterday, because now you can 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.800 sue those police officers directly. When you start affecting people's pockets, 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.200 man and threatening them with real prison time, they'll change 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.040 the way they move if they know that they can 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.240 get sued directly, and then no civil suits that people 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.480 get rewarded. It's gonna come from their money as well 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:34.000 as their future pensions. Oh, they'll switch up, all right? Hello? 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:36.200 Who's this? All right? What's up? How you doing? Man? 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.840 This was the pocket USA? Man? What's going on? Man? 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:41.000 Get it off your chests? R Yeah? Man, I just 0:14:41.040 --> 0:14:42.920 going to call and talk about that soldier man, I 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:45.960 just want to say how he hounded It was very well, right, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.080 but just put that on me. Just that was me 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.960 and I get Pepper place. The first thing I possed. 0:14:52.080 --> 0:14:54.120 What it did was brab my shirts, breathed down and 0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.600 looked for something. Yea, and I would have been accused 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:59.360 of reaching for a gun. Yeah right, that's why the 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:02.560 pocket you say, it's so important, man, That's why I'm 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:05.000 on this mission to push this product. Man, I just 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.760 hope everybody tapped into it. Man, we need this product. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:10.760 It's very necessary. Got your pocket, that's your thing where 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.680 you hang your license and stuff out of the window. Yeah. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.360 Maybe he's said he sent me. He sent me on 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.040 too for my son. Yeah. So if you don't know, 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.600 he has a what's the name of the company? Side 0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.160 the pocket. Pocket you would say, where you can put 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:24.200 your license, to your registration, your proof of insurance, and 0:15:24.280 --> 0:15:26.240 you hanging out on the outside of your car so 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.120 you don't have to worry about the cops coming in. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.920 But if they ask you to open the door, like 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:31.680 they ask them to open the door, I mean you're 0:15:31.680 --> 0:15:34.600 still in the same situations. Fine, that's fine, that's still 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:37.240 hoping the door, but your hands were staying buildable. Now 0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:40.040 you're not getting tougher spark. Now you're not getting shot. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.400 Now you're not getting a fuse of reason for anything. 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:45.440 That's doing the hard member, And that's the perfect I listen, 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:48.520 I liked your idea a lot, but nae, you know 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:53.040 what I mean is necessary? Man, I'm with you. But 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.080 cop cops will see that hanging out the window and 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:56.880 say they felt threatened who they don't know what, they 0:15:56.880 --> 0:16:00.360 didn't know what it was. That's knowing too. There's no 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:02.920 excute to say they starts praying by this product hanging 0:16:02.960 --> 0:16:05.520 out to your door when they've seen y'll head. You're 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.600 not moving. There's no reason for you to move, so 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:12.000 there's no no acute for them to tabor you. I've 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:15.120 seen it. We we've seen it. We've seen it a 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.400 million times. How quickly y'all forget the chant hands up, 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.960 don't shoot? Because brother Michael Brown had his hands up 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:24.200 in the air when he was shot, sir, Like, there's 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:26.600 no way you can look at any of these police killings, 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.440 police brutality. We've seen it a million different ways, and 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:33.240 it's and it never ends the way we always think 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:34.800 it's gonna end. So I don't understand how we keep 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:37.840 lying on ourselves and giving ourselves these bs excuses. All right, 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.400 we'll get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five, 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.440 one oh five. We got rumors on the way, Yes, 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:44.560 and we are going to talk about money. What hip 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.880 hop artists could make a hundred million dollars when coin 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:51.560 base goes public. Also, guess who just bought The Weekend's 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.480 house for nineteen point three million dollars. All right, we'll 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.440 get into that. Next, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, 0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:03.560 the Breakfast Club. I'm wanting everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:05.760 Charlomagne the guy. We are to Breakfast Club. Let's get 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:12.879 to the rumors. Let's talk Cheryl Underwood's This is the 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:19.920 Rumor Report with Angela Yee on the Breakfast Club. All right, well, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.240 the Talk is back on the air. This is after 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:26.440 all of the controversy with Sharon Osborne and Sharon Osborne 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:30.000 is clearly no longer with the show. Filling in. Also 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.560 on the show was Donald E. Green. He's an expert 0:17:32.600 --> 0:17:36.680 on diversity, equity, inclusion and justice. Also, Anita Phillips was 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:39.080 on this episode a trauma therapist and life coach to 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:41.920 help guide the conversation. Now some of the things that 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:45.560 were discussed on the show. Cheryl Underwood did the opening statements. 0:17:45.840 --> 0:17:48.240 We haven't been together at the studio since the week 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:51.640 of March tenth, and as you may know, during our break, 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.840 Sharon decided to leave the talk. We need to process 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.680 the events of that day and what happened since so 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:00.320 we can get to the healing. Over the next hour, 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.680 we will honestly discuss what occurred and explore some of 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:07.399 our feelings, and will also show you how anyone can 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:11.920 become more comfortable with discussing important issues and having difficult conversations. 0:18:12.119 --> 0:18:14.679 And by the end of the hour, we want everyone 0:18:14.760 --> 0:18:19.480 to feel empowered and ready to move forward. All right. 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:22.560 Shary Underwood also talked about the whole thing with the 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:24.760 angry black woman. She didn't want to be that and 0:18:25.000 --> 0:18:27.720 says she decided not to come back or what she fired. 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.240 It's hard to say. Some people are saying that she 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.399 chose not to come back. Some people are saying that 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.440 they told her, they allowed her to say that, you know, 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.040 to save face. I don't know personally, but there's two 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.800 different stories going around now. According to Shary Underwood, she 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:45.399 didn't want to be the angry black woman, but she 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:50.240 also can't even watch that episode, I saw a composed, clear, 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:53.880 confident woman. But what we didn't see what was going 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.879 on inside. Well. I didn't want to escalate things with 0:18:57.040 --> 0:19:00.040 Sharon because I thought I was having a conversation of 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.879 the friend. But also I knew I had to be 0:19:03.119 --> 0:19:06.400 an example for others to follow because I didn't want 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.000 to be perceived as the angry black woman. And that 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:13.560 really scared me. And it's difficult to go back to 0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:17.840 that day because I just feel the trauma. I feel fearful, 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:22.600 you know, a little apprehensive. I love this discussion Charlemagne 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.040 and God talking. I would like to know where has 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.320 not being the angry black woman, an angry black person 0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:33.760 got us. Why are we always compromising ourselves for our presses? 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:36.560 Why why can Sharon Osborne catch an attitude, come off 0:19:36.600 --> 0:19:39.040 as angry and it's all good, But a black person 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.800 who has the right to be angry has to temper herself. 0:19:41.880 --> 0:19:44.639 My therapist that has feel your feels okay? In black people, 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:46.960 women and men, we have every right to be angry 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.879 and every right to express that anger, because if you 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:51.880 are silent about your pain, they'll kill you and say 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:55.880 you enjoyed it. Zora Neil Hurston, by the way, Yeah, 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.240 you know, there's always this whole thing about being the 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:01.359 angry black woman as energy sp up for yourself. You're angry. 0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:03.040 As soon as you show some type of emotion or 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.919 passionate about something, you're the angry black woman. And then 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.040 there's that people don't take it seriously. And I'll say it, 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.960 and so I think, and so I think for Sharyl Underwood, 0:20:11.960 --> 0:20:13.800 and it's something that black women have had to deal 0:20:13.880 --> 0:20:17.080 with forever now, and that's not wanting to be out 0:20:17.119 --> 0:20:19.320 of control of your emotions. And I asked the question 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.760 once again, where has not being the angry black woman, 0:20:22.800 --> 0:20:25.919 an angry black person got us? Not coming off angry 0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:28.800 has gotten us nowhere? Yes we're angry, Yes we pissed off, 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:31.760 Yes we're flipping over tables. Enough is enough. The time 0:20:31.800 --> 0:20:35.000 for playing small has been over, and it's gotten us nowhere. 0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.800 Raise hell, get angry. And you know, if you're not angry, 0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:40.520 and you're clearly not paying attention to what's going on 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:43.560 in this country. And I think she also felt like 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.080 Sharon was her friend, and that was one of the 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:50.359 things too between the two of them. I'm sure that 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:53.040 also affected her as well. And they're on TV, so 0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.800 you know. And they also have said, by the way, 0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:58.240 that Sharon is going to talk when she's ready. According 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.200 to an insider, she wants to give herself out of 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.639 the story. Still, I thought she had already done that. 0:21:02.800 --> 0:21:05.960 Word what was the whole thing with Kevin Frakes. You 0:21:06.080 --> 0:21:08.359 gotta laugh at the absurdity of all of this to be, 0:21:08.960 --> 0:21:12.640 you really do how many? How many sides did she get? 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.760 Sharon Osborne never issu de private apology, but Sharon Osborne 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:20.320 then showed some screenshots that showed text to Sharon Underwood 0:21:20.320 --> 0:21:22.480 that went on answer to and Shary Underwood did confirm 0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.200 that Sharon Osborne did text her, but she didn't answer 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.320 because she didn't know if she was allowed to give 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.040 in the internal investigation taking place. I saw Sharon Osborne 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.240 tweet out yesterday a video of a bear rubbing his 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:37.120 back against the pole while Genuine Pony was playing. She's 0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:41.760 so unbothered, so unbothered. That's why I just saw the 0:21:41.800 --> 0:21:44.359 post started on shade room or something. That's why you 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:46.919 gotta be like eton people. There's nothing wrong with being angry. 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:49.880 You have every single right to be angry, and don't 0:21:49.960 --> 0:21:52.600 let nobody tell you different with you God damn right, 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.080 all right? Now, The Weekend sold his house for nineteen 0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.720 point three million dollars. It was his Hidden Hills home. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.520 He had originally listed the house last June for twenty 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.040 five million, but then he did a price cut nineteen 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.640 point three million dollars. The person who bought the house 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:12.399 is Madonna. So Madonna has bought The Weekend's old house. Now, 0:22:12.560 --> 0:22:15.600 initially he bought this house in twenty seventeen for eighteen 0:22:15.680 --> 0:22:20.280 point two million. He made one point one million on 0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:23.560 it unless he did some renovations. Did you just say 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.760 a little one point one a little one point one? 0:22:26.119 --> 0:22:28.360 He made one point one million, not much, one point 0:22:28.400 --> 0:22:31.680 one million dollars. Do you know fifty percent of America 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:34.840 doesn't have two hundred and fifty dollars to spare, And 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:37.680 you said a little one point one million dollars, Well, 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:39.640 here's another little bit of money for you. They're saying 0:22:39.720 --> 0:22:43.120 NAS couldn't at one hundred million dollars when coin based 0:22:43.200 --> 0:22:47.280 lists on NASDAC, when that cryptocurrency exchange, they said that's 0:22:47.560 --> 0:22:50.159 expected to reach over a one hundred billion dollars in 0:22:50.320 --> 0:22:53.200 valuation when they start list their stock on Wednesday dropping 0:22:53.240 --> 0:22:56.000 a Colos bomb from Nazi Jones shot. But you can't 0:22:56.040 --> 0:23:00.240 even spell nasdac without NAS at this point in life. Okay, 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:01.959 how many times HASNA has been a part of you deal? 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.080 It's like it's third or fourth deal. But you can't 0:23:05.119 --> 0:23:08.399 even spell nash back without Nas at this point, I 0:23:08.520 --> 0:23:15.600 think how you spellings? Yes? Right? Yeah, yeah, okay, alright, 0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:17.480 So yes, it looks like they've been making some really 0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:21.960 smart investments. His investment firms Queen's Bridge Venture Partners, and 0:23:22.240 --> 0:23:25.440 they got into coin base back in twenty thirteen when 0:23:25.480 --> 0:23:27.680 it raised twenty five million dollars. Around that time, it 0:23:27.760 --> 0:23:30.359 was valued at about one hundred and forty three million dollars. 0:23:30.480 --> 0:23:32.600 So Queen's Bridge, like I said, is the name of 0:23:32.720 --> 0:23:35.160 his firm. They also wear a backer of Robin Hood 0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:37.199 in twenty thirteen and then later on Lift and Drop 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.000 drop Box too. Nay Nas took it to heart when 0:23:40.080 --> 0:23:43.239 jay Z said, smartened up Nash. Okay, he sure did 0:23:43.359 --> 0:23:47.480 show y'all something. All right, Well that is your rumor reports, 0:23:47.760 --> 0:23:50.680 all right, thank you, missy, and joining all that money 0:23:50.720 --> 0:23:53.320 with the great hairline. NA still has at forty four 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.960 years old. That's a great feat. I think NA is 0:23:56.960 --> 0:24:00.960 older than forty four, but yeah, it's amazing either. Heyline's 0:24:01.000 --> 0:24:04.960 incredible heater. All right, now, we got from page news 0:24:05.000 --> 0:24:07.800 coming up. Yes, and let's talk about this Johnson and 0:24:07.920 --> 0:24:12.960 Johnson COVID nineteen vaccine. Apparently there are some serious concerns 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:15.000 and we'll tell you what those are. All right, we'll 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.240 get to it nextus to Breakfast Club. Good morning, So 0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:21.640 Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be the same.

Let's get in some front page news when 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:54.840 we starting you. Well, there's some issues with this Johnson 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:58.080 and Johnson vaccine. They says there's been four serious cases 0:24:58.480 --> 0:25:01.800 of unusual blood clots reported after people got that vaccine. 0:25:01.840 --> 0:25:04.840 According to European health authorities said. They said they are 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.840 still investigating these cases and that is currently not clear 0:25:08.320 --> 0:25:11.840 whether there's a casual association between the vaccine and the clots, 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:14.359 but the CDC and the FDA are taking reports of 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.800 these blood clots very seriously. I thought they recalled the 0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:21.760 Johnson and Johnson vaccine a couple of weeks ago. Apparently not, 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:23.720 they're still using them. I think they did recall them 0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:25.920 in some places, but there was a bad batch I think. 0:25:26.280 --> 0:25:27.800 But I'll tell you one thing my parents. My dad 0:25:27.880 --> 0:25:29.600 called me the other day, was like, if the kids 0:25:29.720 --> 0:25:32.760 could take the vaccine, do not do Johnson and Johnson 0:25:32.760 --> 0:25:34.720 and just hung a boar. They said, all right, Dad, Yeah, 0:25:34.760 --> 0:25:37.560 but people are just taking whatever's available too. And some 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.040 people really want to take the Johnson and Johnson because 0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.639 it's only one shot. Like I know my dad was 0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:45.040 saying that's the one he wanted to take because it's 0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:49.920 just one. But you know, again, different information every day, right, 0:25:50.400 --> 0:25:54.600 all right, Another unfortunate shooting, another tragedy. One student is 0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:58.119 dead and a police officer was wounded after a shooting 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:02.119 at a high school in Knoxville, tennis See. Officers responded 0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:06.000 to reports of a potentially armed individual. This was at 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:09.920 Austin East Magnet Heights School and this happened yesterday around 0:26:09.960 --> 0:26:12.920 three fifteen. They did find the individual in the school's restroom. 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.439 They ordered him out, he refused, and after he fired shots, 0:26:16.760 --> 0:26:19.200 at least one officer returned fire. The gunman, who was 0:26:19.280 --> 0:26:22.000 identified as a student at that school, did die at 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:24.120 the team. They have not released his name at this time. 0:26:24.280 --> 0:26:28.879 I'm telling you, America, am r I KKKA the only 0:26:29.000 --> 0:26:31.879 show in the world that has new reruns. It's a 0:26:32.000 --> 0:26:34.760 new rerun. You can't even keep up. You could just 0:26:34.880 --> 0:26:37.560 pick your anxiety at this point, like you just spend 0:26:37.600 --> 0:26:39.680 a wheel what you want today. You want a school 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:41.920 shooting because you got kids that go to school. Pick that. 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:45.399 You want another traumatic police brutality incident, picked that, Like 0:26:45.440 --> 0:26:47.480 you could just pick your trauma at this point in America, 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:52.560 it's so damn saman all right. And in the case 0:26:52.600 --> 0:26:55.639 of Dante, right right now, Joe Biden is calling for 0:26:55.840 --> 0:26:59.480 peace and calm in the wake of Dante writes fatal 0:26:59.560 --> 0:27:03.240 encounter with police in Minnesota. According to Joe Biden, he 0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:07.520 is seeing his death does not justify violence or looting. 0:27:08.840 --> 0:27:13.280 Was it an accident intentional that remained to be determined 0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:17.159 by a full lawn investigation. But in the meantime, I 0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:20.960 want to make it clear again there's absolutely no justification 0:27:21.359 --> 0:27:27.360 for looting, no justification for violence. Peaceful protests understand them, 0:27:27.520 --> 0:27:30.679 but we do know that the anger, pain and trauma 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.800 the resisting the black community in that environment is real. 0:27:33.960 --> 0:27:37.200 It's serious, and it's consequential. Why is it always strong 0:27:37.280 --> 0:27:41.119 the language and rhetoric towards people, you know, so called 0:27:41.240 --> 0:27:45.160 looting and damaging buildings than it is the actual state 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.760 sanctioned violence against black people. Shouldn't it be? You know, 0:27:49.359 --> 0:27:53.520 the unjust murders of black people are not justifiable. That 0:27:53.840 --> 0:27:56.880 violence is not justifiable. As opposed to him damn buildings. 0:27:57.560 --> 0:28:00.640 Yeah yeah, that seems like they can't about them, damn 0:28:00.680 --> 0:28:03.800 buildings and black people all the time. Joe Biden tweeted 0:28:03.840 --> 0:28:06.119 out today, I'm thinking about Dante Right and his family 0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:10.000 and the pain, anger, and trauma that Black America experiences 0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:12.720 every day. But we're away the full investigation. We know 0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:15.359 what we need to do to move forward, rebuild trust 0:28:15.440 --> 0:28:19.680 and ensuring accountability so no one is above the law. Okay, 0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:21.560 we'll pass to George Floyd Policing Act. How do we 0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:24.960 make that happen? Okay, that's what you campaign You campaigned 0:28:25.080 --> 0:28:28.440 on that. Vice President Harris campaigned on that. Where is 0:28:28.480 --> 0:28:32.280 the George Floyd Policing Act? Huh passing on the federal level. 0:28:32.320 --> 0:28:33.560 I know a lot of these things have to happen 0:28:33.600 --> 0:28:35.480 through the state, really, but your beliefs passed that on 0:28:35.560 --> 0:28:40.640 a federal level. All right, well that is your front 0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:45.400 page news. All right, all right, now when we come back, 0:28:45.600 --> 0:28:51.800 gospel singer actress Kiah joining us, and now author Kiera 0:28:51.920 --> 0:28:55.760 Shared will be joining us. She played her mama, one 0:28:55.800 --> 0:28:58.440 of the Clark's sisters in the Lifetime movie She Sure did. 0:28:59.000 --> 0:29:01.160 We'll talk to in a minute. A book out, Big, 0:29:01.280 --> 0:29:04.080 bold and Beautiful, owning the woman God made you to be. 0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:07.760 We'll talk to a next. It's the Breakfast Club.

The author of the new book 0:29:26.640 --> 0:29:31.360 A big, bold and beautiful, Yes beautiful, that's yes, yes, yes, 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:33.880 first book. What made you want to write? A book. Well, 0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.920 actually it was unintentional. So I had been writing and 0:29:37.000 --> 0:29:39.560 just kind of journaling as a form of therapy. And 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:41.920 this is how I came about. I was looking at 0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:43.960 the email account that I hadn't been checking. You know 0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:45.840 how you just kind of say, oh, this email account 0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:48.840 gonna be for like spam or whatever. And I looked 0:29:48.880 --> 0:29:50.800 in there something told me. I'm a church girl, so 0:29:51.040 --> 0:29:52.440 you know how the old things be, like the Holy 0:29:52.480 --> 0:29:54.840 Ghost told you, wasn't something that tells you. I went 0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:57.120 and checked and they were offering me a book opportunity, 0:29:57.160 --> 0:29:58.520 and I was just like, well, let me just gather 0:29:58.720 --> 0:30:01.400 my journaling. And that's how the book came about. Wow, 0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:04.800 you do all this during the pandemic when it was 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:06.280 nothing to do, when you could sit at home, take 0:30:06.320 --> 0:30:08.520 your time go through your journal and right, so no, 0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.440 I have been journaling from like eighteen till now. So 0:30:11.680 --> 0:30:15.040 literally it's like me putting my life story and everything 0:30:15.080 --> 0:30:17.479 that I've gone through in the book. Um. And then 0:30:17.520 --> 0:30:20.240 I just had like some little studies from like Bible study, 0:30:20.280 --> 0:30:22.920 and I just threw it in there. Um. So it's unintentional. 0:30:22.960 --> 0:30:25.240 It's really a divine moment. And like I said, it 0:30:25.320 --> 0:30:27.920 was therapeutic for me, and I didn't know I had 0:30:27.960 --> 0:30:29.400 a book in me, if you know what I mean. 0:30:29.520 --> 0:30:31.160 So what is what you said? Eighteen? And now I 0:30:31.280 --> 0:30:37.920 was like, two, thank you, I'm still young. I'm thirty three. Yeah, 0:30:38.360 --> 0:30:41.240 it was a journey. Well, I started reading the book 0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:43.520 and I have to tell you, I really appreciated how 0:30:43.640 --> 0:30:45.480 honest and frank you were about a lot of things 0:30:45.520 --> 0:30:48.000 in your life and decisions that you made, and how 0:30:48.080 --> 0:30:51.120 rebellious you were. So I did um want it discussed 0:30:51.200 --> 0:30:52.880 some of the things that you talked about. One thing 0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.520 you said, make better decisions with the people you allow 0:30:55.600 --> 0:30:58.160 into your life. If we trained our bodies to consume 0:30:58.240 --> 0:31:01.040 expired milk or foods, it will respond negatively the first time, 0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:04.640 but if we continue, we'll become immune to the poisons. 0:31:04.880 --> 0:31:08.840 And then you talk about just basically tolerating expired relationships, 0:31:08.880 --> 0:31:11.040 and I feel like sometimes we want to feel so 0:31:11.280 --> 0:31:14.400 loyal to people and just keep it going when sometimes 0:31:14.520 --> 0:31:17.840 things just aren't meant to be and we're only poisoning ourselves. Right, 0:31:17.880 --> 0:31:22.000 So can you talk about yourself and those experiences? Yeah, totally. 0:31:22.120 --> 0:31:24.240 I just kind of had to step aside, even from 0:31:24.320 --> 0:31:27.040 just me wanting to connect with people who I felt 0:31:27.080 --> 0:31:29.080 like I could relate to, but I was relating with 0:31:29.280 --> 0:31:31.640 them when it came to my weaknesses and not my 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:35.320 streamside was building relationships off of the challenges that I had, 0:31:35.400 --> 0:31:38.280 and it wasn't relationships that will cause like healthy development. 0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:41.720 And in addition to that, I'm a creator, and I'm 0:31:41.760 --> 0:31:44.280 sure a lot of creators can attest to the fact 0:31:44.320 --> 0:31:45.960 that we kind of move off of vibes like what 0:31:46.080 --> 0:31:48.880 I feel, and I didn't always have people around me 0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.560 who were like wanting to see me when if that 0:31:51.680 --> 0:31:53.840 makes sense. But I'm not planning the victim either, because 0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:55.680 there were some issues that I had to deal with 0:31:55.800 --> 0:31:58.440 in myself, but I just had to make better decisions 0:31:58.440 --> 0:32:01.160 and I understood that self care way isn't just you know, 0:32:01.560 --> 0:32:04.520 the bath with the candles. It's like, definitely about the 0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:06.880 village you have. So I've been say the village is 0:32:06.880 --> 0:32:08.680 not just for the child, is for the adult too, 0:32:09.080 --> 0:32:11.600 And I felt most liberated when I had people that 0:32:11.680 --> 0:32:13.760 weren't just telling me yes, but telling me no, you 0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:16.480 got you gotta put that down, you know. So it 0:32:16.640 --> 0:32:19.720 definitely has contributed to my mental stability with me being 0:32:19.760 --> 0:32:22.640 a big girl, having someone to tell me, Hey, you 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.040 can embrace your big but still be healthy, you know. 0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:27.520 And I'm like I said, I'm a woman of faith. 0:32:27.600 --> 0:32:30.600 So the word teaches me that a food despises correction, 0:32:30.680 --> 0:32:32.360 and I don't want to be a fool through rife. 0:32:32.520 --> 0:32:34.480 So it just challenged me to be a student at hard. 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.000 For sure, I feel like we didn't do you know, 0:32:36.160 --> 0:32:38.640 justice when it comes to introducing you know, your mom 0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:42.320 is a Karen Clark right from the legendary gospel group 0:32:42.440 --> 0:32:44.920 the Clark Sisters. Yes, how was that growing up in 0:32:45.000 --> 0:32:48.600 that household? It was good pressure, good challenge, good accountability. 0:32:48.800 --> 0:32:51.440 At this point, it's exciting to see that I have 0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.280 the opportunity to say that we're inspiring each other, which 0:32:55.360 --> 0:32:57.680 inspires me more to be a student, like I was 0:32:57.720 --> 0:33:00.320 saying at heart, not thinking that, oh, you've a ride 0:33:00.360 --> 0:33:03.120 and you just But also it challenged me to work 0:33:03.200 --> 0:33:04.600 hard because you know a lot of people are like, oh, 0:33:04.640 --> 0:33:06.920 she probably think she's gonna come into game and think 0:33:06.960 --> 0:33:09.160 that everything's gonna be handed to her. But no, I work. 0:33:09.320 --> 0:33:12.080 I work, and I'm thankful too, so I come in 0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.680 with a grateful heart as well. I did the movie 0:33:14.840 --> 0:33:18.320 and trying to sing like my mom I was like, oh, no, 0:33:18.440 --> 0:33:20.800 this lady is an alien. She's a monster, because I 0:33:20.960 --> 0:33:23.800 literally was getting like lightheaded trying to hit her notes. 0:33:23.880 --> 0:33:26.920 So it definitely was like her sonning me, but not 0:33:27.080 --> 0:33:29.480 her being there saying no, you're still a kid, so 0:33:29.680 --> 0:33:32.280 sit back and chill out. But it's really special, and 0:33:32.320 --> 0:33:34.440 I counted a blessing. For sure. You have to audition 0:33:34.520 --> 0:33:35.880 for that role or that like one of those non 0:33:35.960 --> 0:33:39.160 negotiable this is nepotism, we're gonna make it happen. No, 0:33:39.400 --> 0:33:41.840 I had to audition. I had to put the work in, 0:33:42.280 --> 0:33:44.760 and honestly, at first I wasn't sure that I wanted 0:33:44.840 --> 0:33:48.000 it because of so many other reasons, but yeah, for 0:33:48.080 --> 0:33:50.600 sure I did had to audition. Well, good job because 0:33:50.640 --> 0:33:52.640 that movie broke all kinds of records and it did 0:33:52.720 --> 0:33:55.440 great numbers, so clearly people really loved your portrayal of 0:33:55.520 --> 0:33:59.000 your mother. Thank you. Any pressure to get into music 0:33:59.040 --> 0:34:01.120 because your mom was a music so heavy was one 0:34:01.120 --> 0:34:02.760 of those things like no, girl, you're getting into music, 0:34:02.800 --> 0:34:05.120 you can say, or was it like nah, I think 0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:07.680 what I was able to do. I can definitely say 0:34:07.680 --> 0:34:10.040 I was able to do what I wanted. Of course, 0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:13.400 my parents, which I respect because there are moments when 0:34:13.440 --> 0:34:16.040 I was young and I didn't really have the idea 0:34:16.080 --> 0:34:18.160 of what the future could be. So I was just 0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:21.719 saying no from an immature place. But thank god, my 0:34:21.880 --> 0:34:24.040 parents were like, hey, go to school, get your education, 0:34:24.160 --> 0:34:26.640 but also have this musical side of you and see 0:34:26.719 --> 0:34:29.320 what it will do for you. So it wasn't like 0:34:29.440 --> 0:34:32.480 an unhealthy pressure because they did allow me to be 0:34:32.600 --> 0:34:34.479 the nail tech once upon the time that I wanted 0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:37.600 to be, or install wigs. I'm really good at wigs, 0:34:38.080 --> 0:34:39.520 so at one point I thought I was going to 0:34:39.520 --> 0:34:42.000 be in the cosmetology field, and now here I am 0:34:42.160 --> 0:34:44.840 because I've listened to my parents in their grooming. So 0:34:45.520 --> 0:34:48.160 it wasn't an unhealthy pressure. You you know, in chapter three, 0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:50.200 chapter that you was talking about, you talk about having 0:34:50.239 --> 0:34:53.280 to leave people behind, right, Like, how important is finding 0:34:53.360 --> 0:34:55.080 your tribe because, like you said, we talk about a 0:34:55.200 --> 0:34:57.360 village raising a child, but when you becoming an adult, 0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:00.759 you're still grown, you're still evolving. If people on on 0:35:00.880 --> 0:35:03.479 that level with you, you know you gotta leave them behind. 0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:06.640 But how important it define your truck. It's so important 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:11.280 because again, as a woman of faith, you got scriptures 0:35:11.320 --> 0:35:14.040 that say iron sharpens iron and I was just having 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:17.400 a conversation with a friend, and it's possible that a 0:35:17.560 --> 0:35:20.480 friend can sharpen what's bad in you, you know, And 0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.280 I think too, if you're not careful, it has everything 0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.279 with your sanity, you can make choices. If you don't 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:28.800 have people around you, I say, that's not good for you. 0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:31.359 I think we all have seen, even some of our 0:35:31.480 --> 0:35:35.320 favorite inspirations, it's like, I just wish they had somebody 0:35:35.360 --> 0:35:37.480 else around them to kind of save them from going 0:35:37.560 --> 0:35:39.920 down that path. So it means a lot to me. 0:35:40.239 --> 0:35:43.000 It speaks to my spirituality. It speaks too, and I 0:35:43.200 --> 0:35:46.920 can say that even my business relationships are not just business. 0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.279 It's like it goes deeper, you know what I'm saying. 0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:51.320 So I even talk about in the book the difference 0:35:51.360 --> 0:35:56.839 between draining relationships versus fountain like relationships. And I came 0:35:56.920 --> 0:35:58.920 up with that because you can be sitting in a 0:35:59.000 --> 0:36:02.480 relationship where even just having a conversation leaving it not 0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:06.279 having felt safe, you'll feel drained. You'll feel exasperated, and 0:36:06.360 --> 0:36:08.200 it's like, where, all of a sudden did this tire 0:36:08.320 --> 0:36:10.680 come from? And it's like, because you're sitting at the 0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:13.160 table with the wrong people. So I just had to 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:16.680 kind of overcome that. And then just even in the book, 0:36:16.680 --> 0:36:19.600 I talked about some relationships that I delve into that 0:36:19.760 --> 0:36:21.440 just weren't good for me, and I would you know, 0:36:21.600 --> 0:36:23.439 you have your mom your dad tell you that ain't 0:36:23.640 --> 0:36:25.719 that ain't the situation you need to be in, and 0:36:25.800 --> 0:36:28.440 you'll pick up habits and then you'll take that baggage 0:36:28.480 --> 0:36:30.800 to the promised place that you're supposed to be in, 0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:34.239 and you'll then feel like, you know what, I'm inadequate 0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.480 to be here because you were once upon a time 0:36:36.719 --> 0:36:38.920 in this dysfunctional place that you were never supposed to 0:36:38.960 --> 0:36:41.600 be in, and so then it just becomes a blame game. 0:36:41.680 --> 0:36:43.880 It then weighs you down and then you start speaking 0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:45.640 to yourself when it was just it was a poor 0:36:45.800 --> 0:36:48.160 choice previously, so now we got to go through a 0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:52.960 whole personal rehabilitation space, you know. So that's why it's 0:36:52.960 --> 0:36:55.719 so important to me. I'm really big on that. And 0:36:55.760 --> 0:36:58.160 then I believe in prayer. I believe in people praying 0:36:58.360 --> 0:37:00.320 for you when you can't get a prayer through, you know. 0:37:00.400 --> 0:37:02.440 It's it's moments when I was just broken and I 0:37:02.560 --> 0:37:04.759 just didn't know what to say to God. But I 0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:06.879 have friends. That was like, no, we about I'm about 0:37:06.880 --> 0:37:08.719 to hold you were about the whole hands and we're 0:37:08.719 --> 0:37:11.520 about to go before the Lord. So that's why finding 0:37:11.600 --> 0:37:14.000 my tribe, that tribe is so important for me. That's 0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:16.080 what it called the soul tribe. You gotta have your 0:37:16.120 --> 0:37:19.919 soul tribe. Yeah, absolutely, we have more with Kiera ship 0:37:20.040 --> 0:37:22.080 when we come back, don't move. It's to breakfast club, 0:37:22.120 --> 0:37:26.640 Good morning morning. Everybody is stj Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne 0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:28.640 the guy we are the breakfast Club was still kicking 0:37:28.680 --> 0:37:31.600 it with Kiera, shared gospel singing and author yee. What 0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:33.759 Another thing I thought was important as a message for 0:37:33.880 --> 0:37:35.879 women is that you don't have to put your life 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:39.320 on hold waiting for a boyfriend or a husband to 0:37:39.520 --> 0:37:42.120 do things and to do those things when that person 0:37:42.239 --> 0:37:45.000 comes along. Can you expand on that as well, because 0:37:45.120 --> 0:37:47.319 clearly now you're married, but you went through a lot 0:37:47.400 --> 0:37:49.840 of frogs before you got to your prince for sure, 0:37:50.040 --> 0:37:55.000 frauds um. But I kept waiting, like I have been 0:37:55.040 --> 0:37:57.520 blessed to work and go out of the country, and 0:37:57.640 --> 0:37:59.520 I'm like, oh, I gotta wait, you know, to go 0:37:59.600 --> 0:38:02.879 to pay with this significant other or I gotta wait 0:38:02.920 --> 0:38:05.600 to go to Dubai with this significant other. And after 0:38:05.680 --> 0:38:07.520 a while I was like, you know what, if I'm 0:38:07.600 --> 0:38:10.400 going that way, we're about to make some stops, especially 0:38:10.440 --> 0:38:13.480 because the trip it's cheaper. While I'm already over there, 0:38:13.600 --> 0:38:15.520 you know, so I'm about to wait for nobody else. 0:38:15.800 --> 0:38:17.880 And then in that space that I was in, I 0:38:18.000 --> 0:38:20.840 would have probably had to cover the expenses myself or whatever. 0:38:21.239 --> 0:38:24.000 So I think that it's so important because one thing 0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:26.800 that I did wrong was I made a boyfriend or 0:38:26.840 --> 0:38:32.080 I gave a boyfriend wife like tendencies, if that makes sense. Yeah, 0:38:32.239 --> 0:38:35.720 my father told me before Kiera, you have to understand 0:38:35.800 --> 0:38:37.920 that it's okay to date. And I think Steve Harvey 0:38:38.000 --> 0:38:40.319 wrote a book Think like a act like a lady, 0:38:40.360 --> 0:38:42.640 Think like a man. My Nanna gave me that book 0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:45.040 because they were all looking like, it's okay for you 0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:46.680 to play the game. You don't gotta be a whore, 0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:49.160 but you can play the game. And so he said, 0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:51.120 the rue word of dating is that I get the 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:54.200 information you need and just play the game. So that's 0:38:54.280 --> 0:38:56.840 what I had to learn, rather than I thought I 0:38:56.960 --> 0:38:59.640 was entering into covenant with people that weren't giving me 0:38:59.760 --> 0:39:02.360 some thing promising for a lifetime, you know, it was 0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:05.359 just temporary. So those are the things that I had 0:39:05.400 --> 0:39:07.759 to adjust to say, you know what, I'm gonna do 0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:09.600 my thing. I'm gonna live my life. I'm not waiting 0:39:09.640 --> 0:39:11.720 on nobody. If I get a trip to South Africa, 0:39:11.960 --> 0:39:13.960 I'm extending the trips, not trying to get home to 0:39:14.000 --> 0:39:16.239 a boyfriend as if he's my husband, you know, or 0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:18.160 worried about what he's gonna do. So those were the 0:39:18.320 --> 0:39:20.120 things that I had to learn. When it comes to 0:39:20.360 --> 0:39:23.080 that chapter successfully single, I wonder if all that stuff 0:39:23.080 --> 0:39:25.759 happens is naturally though, right, because it's like, you don't 0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:27.960 want to practice bad habits. So if you're in a 0:39:28.000 --> 0:39:31.520 relationship with somebody, I'm probably gonna do some husband like things, 0:39:31.600 --> 0:39:33.440 and you might do some wifelike things. That's how you 0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:35.440 determine whether or not you want to be a husband 0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:37.800 and wife with this person. For sure. Yeah, but I 0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:42.320 think for me, I'll be honest, being in a relationship 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:46.960 and doing wifelike things, it clouds your judgment because you're 0:39:47.080 --> 0:39:49.759 wanting marriage with that person and you're not seeing the 0:39:49.840 --> 0:39:52.279 red flags. I'll speak for myself. So it was a 0:39:52.360 --> 0:39:54.719 lot of red flags that I was ignoring because I 0:39:54.920 --> 0:39:57.480 wanted a certain thing. But if a man doesn't want 0:39:57.520 --> 0:39:59.640 it with you, or if even if somebody else doesn't 0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.920 want a long lasting relationship, and that could just be 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:05.520 with friendships, it can't just be you. We know what 0:40:05.640 --> 0:40:08.680 it feels like to be one sided, you know. Um So, 0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:13.080 I think it's okay to dive in compromise, make sacrifices, 0:40:13.320 --> 0:40:15.959 but make sure you're making sacrifices for somebody that's gonna 0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:20.520 give it back in return. It could be sex in 0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.200 that clouded my judgment, you know. And I think too 0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:25.439 it speaks to I talked about in the book doing 0:40:25.520 --> 0:40:28.040 things God's way. I saw why I needed to do 0:40:28.160 --> 0:40:30.680 it his way because I was making decisions off of 0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:33.480 how he made me feel versus what it could have 0:40:33.520 --> 0:40:35.600 been in the future. So I was making a decision 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.880 off of a temporary experience or just you know, how 0:40:38.920 --> 0:40:41.479 he laid me out. But it wasn't You ain't gonna 0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:43.040 be able to get me through when it comes to 0:40:43.560 --> 0:40:48.759 establishing life or establishing legacy. Um. And And another thing 0:40:48.840 --> 0:40:51.400 that I noticed is that I wasn't looking at the 0:40:51.840 --> 0:40:54.200 person that I was dating saying do I want my 0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:57.680 children to be like this person. It was more so 0:40:58.400 --> 0:41:00.480 this this feels good, you know, if it was great, 0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.520 So my emotions were wrapped up into a different place 0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:07.400 rather than actually making life decisions. What about living together? 0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:08.960 A lot of people will say, well, I don't want 0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:11.279 to get married until we live together. How do I 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.320 know I even want to spend life with this person? 0:41:14.920 --> 0:41:16.600 You know, talk about why you think that's not a 0:41:16.600 --> 0:41:21.320 good idea. Yeah, so I will say that I was 0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:24.040 guilty of that for some time, you know, and even 0:41:24.160 --> 0:41:27.200 while saying, you know that I'm living this way, and 0:41:27.960 --> 0:41:30.160 I think there's a such thing like my husband has 0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:33.719 shown me that there's a way to spend time with 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:37.680 each other and do it with boundaries. I think it's 0:41:37.719 --> 0:41:40.480 just knowing your boundaries. If you're saying you're gonna live 0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:43.640 like one thing like my husband really helped me. I 0:41:43.719 --> 0:41:45.839 thought I was living saved and living for the lord 0:41:46.040 --> 0:41:48.759 and to my husband came with a different standard. But 0:41:48.880 --> 0:41:50.920 he showed me that there is a such way to 0:41:51.440 --> 0:41:54.200 dive into a relationship, to go deeper and to get 0:41:54.239 --> 0:41:57.280 the depth of that person. But to respect your boundaries. 0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.279 Don't act like they're not there. You know, after a 0:42:00.360 --> 0:42:03.080 certain hours you get hot in your drawers. So step 0:42:03.200 --> 0:42:05.800 back and say, you know what, Okay, I'm gonna be 0:42:05.880 --> 0:42:08.919 honest with myself. You know, I think I will say 0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:12.720 I've gotten into spaces where I just wasn't honest with myself, 0:42:12.920 --> 0:42:15.239 and then I would go and consult with everybody else 0:42:15.280 --> 0:42:17.719 about my life. So then I was living with the 0:42:17.840 --> 0:42:21.600 opinions of everyone else but my truth. And so I 0:42:21.719 --> 0:42:24.480 think that that is you can get to know somebody 0:42:25.040 --> 0:42:27.279 and you can spend time with them. Um. So I'll 0:42:27.280 --> 0:42:28.960 stop there because I don't want to say too much, 0:42:29.120 --> 0:42:30.880 but it's a way to do it. For sure. What 0:42:30.960 --> 0:42:33.200 did your parents your daddy say about you shocking up 0:42:33.200 --> 0:42:37.560 in particular? He disapproves of it. Um, disapproves of one 0:42:37.680 --> 0:42:43.239 hundred percent. Not his thing. Yeah, that's what they about. Now. 0:42:43.280 --> 0:42:46.160 How you let Nick Cannon ill? Seen you? How do 0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:54.839 you say it again? Seen you? How did I let 0:42:55.080 --> 0:42:58.880 Nick Cannon? I'll sing? Um, Nick Cannon is incredible. So 0:42:58.960 --> 0:43:00.880 I just had to let him his thing. I was 0:43:01.000 --> 0:43:04.400 completely blown away at the fact that he could actually 0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:07.800 play in sing. First of all, I'm joking, I know, okay, 0:43:07.800 --> 0:43:11.000 I'm just making sure she said I know, Yeah, I know, clearly. 0:43:12.719 --> 0:43:15.440 But it was special. It was fun. Um. You know, 0:43:16.320 --> 0:43:19.759 I thought only to Nick was acting um and to 0:43:19.960 --> 0:43:22.840 see that we kind of come from similar backgrounds, it 0:43:22.920 --> 0:43:26.719 was really inspirational. I heard he asked the rapper on 0:43:26.800 --> 0:43:28.640 the record, and you told him, no, no, that is 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:31.680 none of that ain't true. Told him that his raps 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:34.320 ain't nothing but the devil. Is that true? It's true. 0:43:34.560 --> 0:43:37.880 I support Nick Cannon, that's my man. How did the 0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:40.239 collaboration coming about? Like? What was that about? Um? Nick 0:43:40.360 --> 0:43:44.080 reached out and that was it. It was simple, and 0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:47.120 I came running like for sure, I want to do it, um, 0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:50.479 and that it was that easy. All right, Well, don't movie. 0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:52.319 We have more with Kiera shit when we come back. 0:43:52.360 --> 0:43:55.440 It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:59.120 Envy Angela Yee. Charlomagne, the guy we are the Breakfast 0:43:59.160 --> 0:44:01.680 Club was still kicking it with Kiera shared gospel sing 0:44:01.760 --> 0:44:03.400 it in the author Charlomag, You know, I meant that 0:44:03.440 --> 0:44:07.040 as Bishop Jake's this and Sarah Robbins this last week. 0:44:07.080 --> 0:44:09.600 But do you think that people realizing that the Bible 0:44:09.719 --> 0:44:12.680 wasn't was written by like people that were oppressing us? 0:44:12.719 --> 0:44:14.520 Do you think that's one of the reasons people are 0:44:14.640 --> 0:44:18.560 getting turned off from the from the Bible. Ask that 0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:21.520 question on my time please, people. You think people are 0:44:21.520 --> 0:44:23.600 getting turned off from the Bible because they know that 0:44:23.840 --> 0:44:27.400 the oppressors actually wrote those scriptures, because it's a lot 0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.640 of stuff in the Bible that's oppressor right, like you know, homosexuality, 0:44:30.760 --> 0:44:34.080 things in regard to raise the portrayal of women. So 0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:35.799 you think that's one of the reasons people are getting 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:37.719 turned off from the Bible. I think it could be. 0:44:38.160 --> 0:44:42.600 I'm all into information and being knowledgeable. I wonder if 0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:46.680 our generation are too grown for their own good, if 0:44:46.719 --> 0:44:50.600 that makes sense. So that's all I can say there, 0:44:51.360 --> 0:44:55.719 But if it's inspired by God, I'm a believer and 0:44:55.760 --> 0:44:59.840 I've seen God's word really liberate me and bring me answer, 0:45:00.440 --> 0:45:03.080 so I can only speak from that space. But I 0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:06.319 do think that there are some peers of mind who 0:45:06.600 --> 0:45:08.840 just dive into stuff that they don't even understand, but 0:45:08.960 --> 0:45:11.799 try to use it to their advantage, if that makes sense. 0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:15.040 Got And and to add to that being too grown 0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:18.759 for your own good. The Word even says, and I 0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.279 found it to be true, that in order to enter 0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:24.040 into the Kingdom, you have to take on the heart 0:45:24.120 --> 0:45:28.239 of a child, innocence pure, you know, seeking the opportunity 0:45:28.680 --> 0:45:30.960 to see the light. And I think that because we 0:45:31.120 --> 0:45:34.680 consume so much dark, whether it's through our music, through 0:45:34.719 --> 0:45:37.680 what we see in our timeline, it can kind of 0:45:38.440 --> 0:45:40.799 give you a blur when you actually have the truth 0:45:40.960 --> 0:45:43.359 right there at hand. You know, the truth can come 0:45:43.400 --> 0:45:45.799 from a liar, but that doesn't because it's coming from 0:45:45.840 --> 0:45:47.480 a liar, that doesn't mean that it's not the truth 0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:50.880 that's right. So I would say that's my answer. No, 0:45:51.080 --> 0:45:53.200 that makes perfect sense. That's I can look at that 0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:54.839 in so many different ways. That's what I always said 0:45:54.880 --> 0:45:57.200 about you know, somebody like DMX like that brother was 0:45:57.200 --> 0:46:00.040 annoying it. Yes, but you would not recognize God in 0:46:00.200 --> 0:46:03.640 him if you're busy looking, uh, looking for God in 0:46:03.760 --> 0:46:06.879 places you believe God should be and people you think 0:46:06.960 --> 0:46:09.760 God should be. Absolutely, I think it was a prayer. 0:46:10.080 --> 0:46:12.680 I think I saw like ditty and I think it 0:46:12.800 --> 0:46:17.480 was like a read something. It was a concept, yes, 0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:20.800 And they were in the back praying, and I actually 0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:23.640 felt the spirit of God while TMX was praying. So 0:46:23.840 --> 0:46:27.280 I agree with you one, and I think that there's 0:46:27.320 --> 0:46:30.560 a possibility that so many of us may have an 0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:34.320 anointing and we just may be completely oblivious of it, 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.200 if that makes sense. And because like we were talking 0:46:37.239 --> 0:46:39.399 about the squad go or the tribe, if you don't 0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:42.440 have people to tell you you're anointed, and it's just 0:46:42.560 --> 0:46:45.160 certain things you can't do, you know, are as certain 0:46:45.200 --> 0:46:48.360 places you can't sit in. Um, because the anointing is 0:46:48.400 --> 0:46:50.200 something we can't see. So it has everything to do 0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:53.160 with spirituality. So we got to be with our a 0:46:53.360 --> 0:46:56.560 game on understanding that the adversary is out there to 0:46:56.640 --> 0:46:59.759 get you to destroy you. UM. So I think I 0:47:00.000 --> 0:47:03.360 agree with you. Now, let's talk about the metamorphosis of 0:47:03.440 --> 0:47:07.120 relationships for you. How does celibacy contribute to you being 0:47:07.200 --> 0:47:10.440 able to find the right person? Can you talk about that? 0:47:10.600 --> 0:47:13.160 Because a lot of times our vision is getting clouded 0:47:13.239 --> 0:47:16.359 by other things when we're trying to be in a relationship. UM, 0:47:16.880 --> 0:47:19.360 it means everything to me. So I'll speak to my 0:47:19.520 --> 0:47:22.880 husband and I. UM. Of course, we made some mistakes, 0:47:23.080 --> 0:47:26.200 but once we got for real and we said, okay, 0:47:26.760 --> 0:47:28.960 we're gonna stick to this. Talking about the boundary that 0:47:29.000 --> 0:47:31.480 I was telling you about earlier, my husband was I 0:47:31.560 --> 0:47:33.680 wanted to jump his bones. I wanted to I'm gonna 0:47:33.719 --> 0:47:35.640 be honest and I'm sure some people were like you, 0:47:41.920 --> 0:47:44.480 but it's my truth. But I can say that I 0:47:44.680 --> 0:47:49.320 saw God change my life through him loving my soul 0:47:49.400 --> 0:47:52.080 and my spirit more than just my body. So I 0:47:52.200 --> 0:47:54.960 saw my husband say I care about your soul. I 0:47:55.080 --> 0:47:57.279 care about you know when you're out there saying that 0:47:57.400 --> 0:47:59.080 this is your truth, but you come back and you 0:47:59.200 --> 0:48:02.400 live another way. He wanted to contribute to me in 0:48:02.520 --> 0:48:05.479 a totally different way than just making me feel good. 0:48:05.800 --> 0:48:08.960 And then it also allowed me to be stable mentally. 0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:14.080 So celibacy definitely contributed to a pure relationship. It allows 0:48:14.160 --> 0:48:17.520 us to develop our communication skills, our way of understanding, 0:48:17.920 --> 0:48:21.000 understanding too, a different perspective and knowing that when you 0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:24.120 come together, it's not just some two individuals come together, 0:48:24.320 --> 0:48:27.920 but you're bringing their life, like everything that they've gone through. 0:48:28.160 --> 0:48:30.279 You're bringing all of that together, and so how are 0:48:30.320 --> 0:48:33.000 you going to build a home. So for me, celibacy 0:48:33.160 --> 0:48:36.439 contributed to that. It even contributed to our prayer life. 0:48:36.480 --> 0:48:40.000 So now I mean I can say I'm seeing things 0:48:40.040 --> 0:48:42.879 in the future because of the prayer life that I've 0:48:42.880 --> 0:48:45.279 been able to have with my husband, and now I'm 0:48:45.320 --> 0:48:48.080 able to respect him differently when he gives me. You 0:48:48.200 --> 0:48:50.680 know a note, I can listen better because I can 0:48:50.760 --> 0:48:53.480 trust your judgment. And then I'm not calling Chase and 0:48:53.520 --> 0:48:55.560 trying to figure out, you know, what's going on because 0:48:55.800 --> 0:48:58.440 I felt like, because you're honest with me, and because 0:48:58.520 --> 0:49:01.080 you show that you can keep yourself together with me, 0:49:01.400 --> 0:49:03.680 because I I'll stop there. I gotta be careful what 0:49:03.760 --> 0:49:07.920 I gotta because you showed me that you can keep 0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:09.840 it together. I trust that you can keep it together 0:49:09.920 --> 0:49:13.239 when my eyes aren't on you. So celibacy has contributed 0:49:13.560 --> 0:49:16.000 to in so many ways. And I really can say 0:49:16.239 --> 0:49:18.879 that I've done it the complete opposite of what God 0:49:18.960 --> 0:49:21.680 said to do. And then with my husband, I've done 0:49:21.719 --> 0:49:23.839 it his way and I've seen it just changed my life. 0:49:24.120 --> 0:49:28.520 I'm sorry to start crying, but yeah, that's what you mean. Together. 0:49:30.280 --> 0:49:32.719 I'm gonna I gotta tell my boyfriend we're gonna switch 0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:36.040 back to celibacy. How he reacts? What do you mean 0:49:36.080 --> 0:49:37.840 when you said you had to keep it keep or 0:49:38.160 --> 0:49:40.200 he showed you that he could keep it together, but 0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:41.480 you try to set him up. You had like a 0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:43.759 girl try to hollow him or no no no no 0:49:44.840 --> 0:49:49.200 for her? Yes with me, like my husband is very attractive. 0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:52.680 I love him, and I love um. I think for 0:49:52.800 --> 0:49:55.239 me the faith piece and his integrity, so it makes 0:49:55.280 --> 0:49:57.920 me want to jump on him more. Um and to 0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.120 see that he's so unimpressionable. So that's what I mean, 0:50:01.320 --> 0:50:03.960 Like he could give it together, he could control the room, 0:50:04.040 --> 0:50:07.719 he could tell me no and and and he just 0:50:07.840 --> 0:50:10.799 had it got it. What is marriage though, like when 0:50:10.840 --> 0:50:12.759 we're talking about because this is like back in the day, 0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:14.440 there was no such thing as marriage. So if you 0:50:14.560 --> 0:50:17.239 had that attraction towards that man and he had it 0:50:17.360 --> 0:50:20.120 towards you, when y'all had a bond, yeah, y'all could 0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:22.719 jump each other's bones, Like what is matter? Like? What 0:50:22.880 --> 0:50:24.680 is it just a ceremony? Like you really think you're 0:50:24.680 --> 0:50:27.000 going to hell because you had a little premarital sex. 0:50:27.560 --> 0:50:29.600 So I don't think it's just you're going to hell 0:50:29.600 --> 0:50:32.040 because you had a little premarital sex. But I do 0:50:32.160 --> 0:50:34.480 believe it's a part of the principles of living out 0:50:34.560 --> 0:50:38.000 the blessing or the blessed life. And even again, I 0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:40.160 think you know how our parents used to tell us, 0:50:40.239 --> 0:50:43.279 don't do that or else this is gonna happen. I 0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:47.560 feel like the relationship with God is it's um. How 0:50:47.600 --> 0:50:50.160 can I say this, I'll just say it's important to 0:50:50.800 --> 0:50:53.239 live the way he's saying and trust what he's saying 0:50:53.280 --> 0:50:55.480 because it contributes to the future that you don't see. 0:50:55.680 --> 0:50:57.880 It contributes to the days that you don't see. So 0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:01.160 for me, it's get what you're saying, and I get 0:51:01.200 --> 0:51:04.400 the concern that maybe others have, but I would. I 0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:07.239 don't know if that answers the question Charlotte Magne, But well, 0:51:07.280 --> 0:51:09.520 how can we beat ourselves up over like the whole 0:51:09.680 --> 0:51:12.360 sex pre marital sex thing in the Bible, but not 0:51:12.520 --> 0:51:15.200 over something like pork because you tell us not deep pork, 0:51:15.719 --> 0:51:18.560 our shellfish. Yeah, and tell us not dat shellfish. We 0:51:18.640 --> 0:51:20.680 can just pray over that and everything's cool. Why why 0:51:20.719 --> 0:51:23.200 do we do that ourselves? I think it's because we 0:51:23.320 --> 0:51:27.640 accept the tradition in not diving into the relationship. So 0:51:27.840 --> 0:51:30.760 for me, this once upon a time was just religion 0:51:30.920 --> 0:51:33.880 and just a learned behavior until I began to read 0:51:34.040 --> 0:51:36.120 and learn. You know, like I can go into a 0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:38.720 classroom and take everything that the students and the teachers 0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:40.759 are talking about, but I can come out with a 0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:44.880 completely different, different understanding until I actually read the textbook. 0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:48.759 So for me, it's almost like being in a relationship. 0:51:48.880 --> 0:51:50.640 You don't know me if you only took me out 0:51:50.840 --> 0:51:53.239 or treated me as a one night stand. You know 0:51:53.400 --> 0:51:55.560 me when you date me and you take time with me. 0:51:56.200 --> 0:51:58.640 So I think that that is it's a lack of time, 0:51:59.200 --> 0:52:02.360 you know, with learning about the faith, rather than just 0:52:02.560 --> 0:52:05.600 listening to people saying don't touch the stove because it's hot. No, 0:52:05.680 --> 0:52:07.680 if you go close enough to the stove, you feel 0:52:07.719 --> 0:52:10.640 that there's a heat that your skin can't take, rather 0:52:10.719 --> 0:52:12.960 than just saying oh. And I think that it even 0:52:13.000 --> 0:52:15.839 speaks to the generations that we've come from, where it's 0:52:15.920 --> 0:52:19.000 like one generation did things just because somebody told them 0:52:19.040 --> 0:52:21.280 not to. But I think we are becoming a generation 0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:23.840 where we're diving into it. So I think it's just 0:52:23.920 --> 0:52:27.040 a matter of learning and understanding. I would say, do 0:52:27.120 --> 0:52:30.120 you eat pork. I don't eat pork as much as 0:52:30.160 --> 0:52:32.840 I do now that I understand it. Oh, So at 0:52:32.880 --> 0:52:34.759 the time, you didn't understand the scripture when it says, 0:52:34.840 --> 0:52:37.799 think with Deuteronomy fourteen eight, don't do not eat pork, 0:52:37.880 --> 0:52:39.360 don't even touch the flesh of a dead pain. You 0:52:39.400 --> 0:52:42.440 didn't understand this. I didn't. I thought that it was 0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:45.160 just an old practice like before I was just reading 0:52:45.200 --> 0:52:47.719 the Bible, like, okay, that was just days story. I 0:52:47.760 --> 0:52:49.239 didn't want it. I didn't want to body tell me 0:52:49.320 --> 0:52:55.879 put down no baking. Yeah. Absolutely, So even to that though, 0:52:55.960 --> 0:52:58.640 I am working on my temple. So I'll go back 0:52:58.680 --> 0:53:00.640 and forth. I'll do like a vegan diet. I'll be 0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:03.840 a vegetarian one week and then next year I'm a pscytarian, 0:53:04.080 --> 0:53:05.879 and then one week I'm just saying, oh, I don't 0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.279 eat meat, but I eat fish and bacon, you know. 0:53:08.400 --> 0:53:12.920 So yes, it's like which one is it? So, um, 0:53:13.040 --> 0:53:17.120 I think it's a matter of learning, evolving understanding, because um, 0:53:17.200 --> 0:53:19.719 there's a scripture where Jesus said I didn't come to 0:53:19.840 --> 0:53:21.960 do away with the lab but I came to fulfill it. 0:53:22.360 --> 0:53:24.560 So I think for me, I'm still trying to understand 0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:26.680 that part, like, well, did you give me the opportunity 0:53:26.719 --> 0:53:29.160 to still be able to eat baking or is that 0:53:29.360 --> 0:53:31.520 just you know what I'm saying. So it's all just 0:53:31.680 --> 0:53:35.960 figuring it out. I'm just using that because those are 0:53:36.000 --> 0:53:37.480 the things in the Bible that did tell us not 0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:39.080 to do. Those are the things that we do on 0:53:39.239 --> 0:53:42.080 the on the regular, you know what I mean. But 0:53:43.200 --> 0:53:46.880 scramps man, it's special. But the other thing is UM. 0:53:47.040 --> 0:53:50.200 You asked about why do we um focus on the 0:53:50.320 --> 0:53:54.120 sex out of wedlock versus the pork? I think too, 0:53:54.239 --> 0:53:58.440 it has everything to do with um condemnation versus conviction. 0:53:58.800 --> 0:54:01.200 People who have a relation and ship with God. They're 0:54:01.239 --> 0:54:03.719 not just pointing at the problem and not giving you 0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:07.239 a solution. And I feel like condemnation causes you to 0:54:07.320 --> 0:54:10.400 beat up on yourself, whereas conviction from the Holy Spirit 0:54:10.680 --> 0:54:12.759 has you to just deal with it differently. If that 0:54:12.880 --> 0:54:14.920 makes that makes perfect? Well, can we get into a 0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:16.520 song before we get up out of here? You want 0:54:16.560 --> 0:54:18.640 to introduce a song. Let's let the world hearing a 0:54:18.680 --> 0:54:21.000 song if they haven't heard any of your music. Yes, 0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:24.600 of course we can play this song we just talked about. Grace. Yes, yes, 0:54:25.200 --> 0:54:26.960 all right, Well let's get into Grace and we appreciate 0:54:27.000 --> 0:54:30.240 you for joining us. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning, 0:54:30.280 --> 0:54:36.000 everybody is kJ envy? That was well, that was Kara shared. Yeah, 0:54:36.000 --> 0:54:38.799 that was a thank you called Grace. Right, Yes, it's 0:54:38.840 --> 0:54:41.120 called Grace. She has a book out called Big, Bold 0:54:41.160 --> 0:54:43.279 and Beautiful, Owning the woman God made you to be. 0:54:43.480 --> 0:54:46.759 Thank you care for joining us? This morning, pleasant conversation. 0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:50.000 It was absolutely let's get to the rumas. Let's talk 0:54:50.040 --> 0:55:03.080 d MX. Listen, oh got breakfast club? All right. DMX's 0:55:03.160 --> 0:55:06.160 family is warning people they are not strapped for cash 0:55:06.400 --> 0:55:09.399 and they are not asking for the public to chip 0:55:09.520 --> 0:55:12.240 in for a funeral expenses. If you see anything online 0:55:12.280 --> 0:55:14.799 saying otherwise, it is not true. There's been a lot 0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:18.160 of rumors going around, a lot of people trying to benefit, 0:55:18.320 --> 0:55:21.000 but just so you know, nobody is raising money to 0:55:21.080 --> 0:55:23.000 help pay for everything. So if you see any of 0:55:23.080 --> 0:55:27.120 those campaigns, do not donate money. They are completely bogus. 0:55:27.200 --> 0:55:30.120 They're not connected to the family at all. There's also 0:55:30.200 --> 0:55:34.040 been rumors that Jay Z and Beyonce bought DMX's masters 0:55:34.239 --> 0:55:37.839 for ten million dollars. That's not true either. Listen, first 0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:41.120 of all, if you think rough riders and Swiss beats 0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.759 and deaf jam, not at all of them here. If 0:55:44.800 --> 0:55:47.080 you think they're not about to send DMX off like 0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:49.160 the King to God, he was y'all out of y'all 0:55:49.239 --> 0:55:52.320 damn mind. You think DMX need money for a funeral, 0:55:52.400 --> 0:55:54.680 knock it off. Yeah, no, it's it's it's what their 0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:57.399 plan is gonna be amazing It's just gonna be huge 0:55:57.560 --> 0:56:03.000 come moment for the disgusting people that are starting these 0:56:03.080 --> 0:56:07.440 fake accounts and trying to benefit off of that. Disgusting. 0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:09.960 But I know people might be looking and see things 0:56:10.000 --> 0:56:12.480 and think they're doing something positive by giving money for it, 0:56:12.560 --> 0:56:16.000 but no, it's not real. Right all right now, I 0:56:16.120 --> 0:56:18.080 told you guys, I did this sit down interview with 0:56:18.360 --> 0:56:20.920 Quando Rondo. We were actually in New Orleans when we 0:56:21.040 --> 0:56:23.959 did this, and some of the things that he talked about, 0:56:24.000 --> 0:56:26.520 and this is just part, a small part. We actually 0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:29.000 talked for like a couple of hours. But one of 0:56:29.040 --> 0:56:31.200 the things that he talked about was, of course the 0:56:31.360 --> 0:56:35.000 night of November sixth, that's the night that King Von 0:56:35.120 --> 0:56:37.680 was shot and killed, the tragic night that that happened, 0:56:38.120 --> 0:56:40.479 and Kwando Rondo was giving his side of the story, 0:56:40.520 --> 0:56:43.800 which he has not done previously. He says that he 0:56:43.880 --> 0:56:45.920 believed that he had a good relationship with Dirk. You know, 0:56:46.040 --> 0:56:48.520 they had songs together. He thought they were cool. He 0:56:48.560 --> 0:56:50.759 didn't even know there were any issues with Little Dirk 0:56:50.840 --> 0:56:53.760 and King Vaughan. Here's what he said. People be saying, 0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:57.000 like people chase a clown and stof how man like 0:56:57.880 --> 0:57:02.279 rich I got three follow was like, for my understanding, ma'am. 0:57:02.440 --> 0:57:04.920 It was a love really it was. I had a 0:57:05.040 --> 0:57:08.600 relationship with Big brou not I want to say his name, 0:57:09.360 --> 0:57:14.040 not you feel me on my album. Dude never charged 0:57:14.080 --> 0:57:16.479 me for a feature, no one. He could have liked, 0:57:16.720 --> 0:57:20.919 Big bro legend all right. He was talking about Little 0:57:20.920 --> 0:57:23.360 Dirk there because Little Dirk was on his album and 0:57:23.880 --> 0:57:27.120 he didn't know that there was any any problems with him. Now, 0:57:27.240 --> 0:57:29.400 Krnda Ronda also talks about the night and all the 0:57:29.520 --> 0:57:31.320 incidents that led up to him even being in the 0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:33.520 parking lot that night. You know, he had filmed the 0:57:33.640 --> 0:57:35.760 video that day. There's a lot more behind the story 0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.360 of what he was doing before he got to that 0:57:37.440 --> 0:57:39.480 parking lot. But he was not trying to go out. 0:57:39.760 --> 0:57:42.200 His friends actually went in the club and he stayed 0:57:42.200 --> 0:57:43.720 outside in the car. He wanted to just go to 0:57:43.760 --> 0:57:46.040 sleep in the car, and Little Tim, his boy, was 0:57:46.320 --> 0:57:48.080 staying outside with him because he didn't want him to 0:57:48.080 --> 0:57:50.720 stay by himself. Now here's what he said happened. I 0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:54.000 tell my brother, I say I'm not going in the club. 0:57:54.400 --> 0:57:57.200 That's a little break going ate fre you a little 0:57:57.280 --> 0:58:01.120 female or whatever, because I'm like, you got fifteen minutes 0:58:01.200 --> 0:58:04.560 because and I'm depping. We were we were about to 0:58:04.640 --> 0:58:07.760 go to the house. My brother said, I'm not about 0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:10.400 to let you sit in. No, come and go to sleep. Now, 0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:13.000 I'm about to walk off and go stand by the 0:58:13.200 --> 0:58:16.000 other individuals that I came with. I see a group 0:58:16.040 --> 0:58:18.439 of people coming. I'm about to let these people walk 0:58:18.480 --> 0:58:20.200 past me. I'm not about to try to go through 0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:22.680 these people and nothing like that. Next thing, you know, 0:58:22.800 --> 0:58:25.439 and he hit me. It's like I had an out 0:58:25.520 --> 0:58:29.760 of body experience. I hused to believe he spoke to 0:58:29.840 --> 0:58:32.640 him for two hours. I just don't see it. Dad. 0:58:32.640 --> 0:58:34.400 I mean, we talked about a lot of different things too. 0:58:34.440 --> 0:58:36.480 Though I don't know if you know anything about Kandarana. 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:40.960 He's from Savannah and he's had a really oh he 0:58:41.080 --> 0:58:43.600 has a he's had a very challenging upbringing. Let's just 0:58:43.680 --> 0:58:45.600 say that if you hear about how he was raised, 0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.280 and you know him growing up and foster care and 0:58:48.360 --> 0:58:50.040 end and out of Julie from when he was young, 0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:52.640 and a lot of things that he's gone through. And 0:58:53.080 --> 0:58:54.720 we were talking about he's not even supposed to be 0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:57.880 here right now. Just the success that he's had, that's far. 0:58:58.440 --> 0:59:00.480 It's been a challenging time for him. Man, even with 0:59:00.640 --> 0:59:03.040 all of this. You know, clearly he didn't go out 0:59:03.520 --> 0:59:06.040 to the club, but the intentions of anything like this happening, 0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:08.680 He wasn't even trying to be out, and so it 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:10.680 was just a really tragic night. But he did want 0:59:10.680 --> 0:59:12.160 to be able to tell his side of the story. 0:59:12.440 --> 0:59:15.280 It's just a very serious game. So just be careful. 0:59:15.280 --> 0:59:16.720 I got a bunch of text yesterday, be like, you 0:59:16.800 --> 0:59:19.360 can't like what's going on? You're good in Chicago. I'm like, 0:59:19.440 --> 0:59:21.240 what are you talking about? And then I guess you 0:59:21.320 --> 0:59:26.080 released your interview. But just be careful something I guess 0:59:26.120 --> 0:59:28.560 because she did the interview when she was interviewing Kondo, 0:59:28.680 --> 0:59:31.520 and you know it's it's there from Chicago. I don't know, 0:59:31.560 --> 0:59:34.080 but just be very careful everybody out there. Hopefully they 0:59:34.120 --> 0:59:36.280 spat that, you know, I mean, you don't want to 0:59:36.280 --> 0:59:38.040 play with them, them young boys. Yeah, but you can't 0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:42.160 get mad at the reporter or the journalists personality because 0:59:42.240 --> 0:59:44.480 they did an envy in an interview. I haven't seen 0:59:44.520 --> 0:59:46.240 the whole interview with no nobody did an envy, but 0:59:46.320 --> 0:59:50.480 got what you just said. I said an interview crazy? 0:59:51.560 --> 0:59:54.520 Think about doing you. I just don't like the back 0:59:54.600 --> 0:59:56.600 and forth that's been going on. So it was my 0:59:56.720 --> 0:59:58.120 hope that he would be able to tell side of 0:59:58.200 --> 1:00:00.760 the story because I don't believe, you know, from what 1:00:00.880 --> 1:00:02.800 he's told me, and we spoke before the interview, and 1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:05.040 I'm good friends with his manager, Fee, that's my guy. 1:00:05.960 --> 1:00:08.880 I don't believe that he had any ill intentions at all, 1:00:08.960 --> 1:00:11.160 and I don't think that's what happened. I think it 1:00:11.240 --> 1:00:13.840 was a tragic night. It was awful what happened, and 1:00:13.920 --> 1:00:16.200 he wanted to be able to explain it from his 1:00:16.200 --> 1:00:17.400 point of view because he was there. A lot of 1:00:17.400 --> 1:00:22.120 people are speculating, but they weren't there. You know, Yeah, 1:00:22.120 --> 1:00:24.240 I don't know nothing about this situation. But also will say, 1:00:24.520 --> 1:00:26.400 you know, in regards to they're back and forth, there 1:00:26.440 --> 1:00:29.120 isn't nothing you can do about that. Somebody died, you 1:00:29.200 --> 1:00:30.760 know what I'm saying. There's gonna always be a back 1:00:30.800 --> 1:00:33.000 and forth between them. And even in this interview, he 1:00:33.040 --> 1:00:36.160 spoke very respectfully when he spoke of Van and Dirk, 1:00:36.440 --> 1:00:38.520 so you know, and a lot of things that he 1:00:38.560 --> 1:00:40.880 talked about later on. He talks about obviously he's the 1:00:40.920 --> 1:00:43.200 first artist that signed to NB A young boy.

She also 1:02:10.320 --> 1:02:13.560 serves as police union president. Also sharing in this, Heahart 1:02:13.640 --> 1:02:16.160 this morning is the forty six president of the United 1:02:16.200 --> 1:02:18.760 States of America, the best and only option available to 1:02:18.800 --> 1:02:21.360 the worst president of all time, hence why he won. 1:02:22.040 --> 1:02:24.320 Joe Biden, Oh, we have a lot to unpack here 1:02:24.400 --> 1:02:27.000 this morning, but not really because we've been here before. 1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:31.120 America and I spell America a m R I KKKA 1:02:31.280 --> 1:02:33.720 And I'm not talking about Kim Cortney and Chloe Are 1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:37.880 Kim Colly and Kendall? I'm talking about ku klux crackers. Oh, 1:02:38.040 --> 1:02:40.720 this is a white supremacist country. Black people have been 1:02:40.800 --> 1:02:43.600 historically the lowest cast. The dominant white cast knows this, 1:02:43.720 --> 1:02:45.720 and they always remind us of sucks he there's a 1:02:45.760 --> 1:02:48.520 reality show that we all live in called Being Black 1:02:48.560 --> 1:02:51.200 in America. So I may call it a dramedy, definitely, 1:02:51.280 --> 1:02:54.600 a thriller, absolutely a horror movie. Never a lighthearted affair, 1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:56.680 because the things that happened to us in this country 1:02:56.920 --> 1:03:00.200 have us walking around with heavy hearts constantly. What did 1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:03.040 the late great James Ball wouldn't say? To be a 1:03:03.160 --> 1:03:06.200 negro in this country is to be a negro in 1:03:06.280 --> 1:03:08.680 this country, and to be relatively conscious is to be 1:03:08.760 --> 1:03:11.360 in a rage almost all the time. Yeah, I feel 1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:14.440 your great ancestor Ball. And that's why I'm intentional about 1:03:14.520 --> 1:03:17.000 not taking too many things seriously, because I have to 1:03:17.080 --> 1:03:19.080 laugh to keep from crying. I've been getting told all 1:03:19.160 --> 1:03:21.680 my life. I turned everything into a joke. Yes I do. 1:03:22.000 --> 1:03:24.800 It's a form of self care, Okay, a defense mechanism 1:03:24.880 --> 1:03:28.240 of starts to protect us from the inevitable, the inevitable 1:03:28.280 --> 1:03:30.560 trauma that we will witness, which keeps this show Being 1:03:30.640 --> 1:03:35.600 Black in America perpetually, perpetually in a series of new reruns. Okay, Oh, 1:03:35.640 --> 1:03:37.600 it's no laughing matter. You're not how hard it is 1:03:37.640 --> 1:03:39.440 to chuckle when nothing is funny, but you have to 1:03:39.600 --> 1:03:42.000 laugh at the absurdity of it all. Case in point 1:03:42.200 --> 1:03:47.000 this situation, would Officer Kim Potter, your uncle, Charlotte, brother Lenard. 1:03:47.080 --> 1:03:48.960 I get on this radio and I tell y'all things, 1:03:49.000 --> 1:03:51.040 and you may or may not take me serious because 1:03:51.080 --> 1:03:53.440 of my list. But one thing I've been telling y'all is, 1:03:53.600 --> 1:03:58.080 nobody plays dumb like a white person trying to deny injustice. 1:03:58.160 --> 1:04:01.280 I repeat, nobody plays dumb like a white person trying 1:04:01.320 --> 1:04:04.960 to deny injustice. Your latest example, Officer Kim Potter, not 1:04:05.080 --> 1:04:08.960 a rookie, has worked for the department for twenty six years, 1:04:09.080 --> 1:04:13.120 twenty six and she's headed a police union. It's playing dumb. 1:04:13.920 --> 1:04:16.120 She protests in Minnesota were doing what they were supposed 1:04:16.120 --> 1:04:18.720 to be doing, and that's being angry. Okay, raising hell 1:04:18.880 --> 1:04:20.920 in a region, as the New York Times stated, in 1:04:21.000 --> 1:04:23.680 a region already at the center of a national reckoning 1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:27.080 over police officers use of force against black people. New 1:04:27.200 --> 1:04:30.720 York Times, we need stronger language than us to force. Okay, 1:04:30.800 --> 1:04:33.080 let's say, in a region already at the center of 1:04:33.120 --> 1:04:36.200 a national reckoning over police officers killing black people for 1:04:36.320 --> 1:04:39.720 no damn reason. Yeah, I like that, because where Dante 1:04:39.880 --> 1:04:42.920 Right was killed by Kim Potter ten miles away. Prosecutors 1:04:42.960 --> 1:04:46.480 in the courtroom completed the questioning of their witness of 1:04:46.520 --> 1:04:50.080 another killer, Cop Derek Chavin. Okay, very important to keep 1:04:50.120 --> 1:04:52.720 reminding y'all that he's the man we saw kill George Floyd. Now, 1:04:52.840 --> 1:04:56.000 Kim Potter has killed Dante, right and is playing dumb 1:04:56.400 --> 1:04:59.280 to deny injustice. How is she playing dumb? Well, let's 1:04:59.320 --> 1:05:03.320 go to CNBC with Shepherd Smithfolter report police just miles 1:05:03.360 --> 1:05:06.280 from where George Floyd died, a police officer shot and 1:05:06.400 --> 1:05:11.880 killed a young, unarmed black man, reigniting outrage and inflaming tensions. Minneapolis, 1:05:11.920 --> 1:05:14.640 of course, was already on edge as the nation watches 1:05:14.680 --> 1:05:17.480 the murder trial of Derek Chauvin. The police chief in 1:05:17.640 --> 1:05:21.280 Brooklyn Center says cops pulled over twenty year old Dante 1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:25.160 Wright for expired tags and tried to arrest him for 1:05:25.160 --> 1:05:28.120 an outstanding warrant. There was a struggle, The police chief 1:05:28.160 --> 1:05:31.280 says one of the officers pulled out her gun by mistake, 1:05:31.640 --> 1:05:47.720 thinking it was her taser, and fired. Well, the protesters 1:05:47.760 --> 1:05:50.080 are back out on the streets tonight after a night 1:05:50.160 --> 1:05:53.240 of unrest in Brooklyn Center last evening. People are angry. 1:05:53.320 --> 1:05:56.360 The explanations that the police gave didn't sit. Well. We 1:05:56.440 --> 1:05:58.320 are outside of the police headquarters and you can see 1:05:58.320 --> 1:06:01.320 it's become a fortress last a lot of violence, a 1:06:01.400 --> 1:06:04.920 big confrontation. The police chief said they were being attacked 1:06:04.960 --> 1:06:07.960 by bottles and ricks and all kinds of objects, and 1:06:08.080 --> 1:06:10.640 that's why they retaliated. That's why they fired back with 1:06:10.880 --> 1:06:15.360 tear gas, flash bangs and also rubbert bullet. Bottles and 1:06:15.400 --> 1:06:18.800 bricks still better than bullets. Okay, Kim Potter, twenty six 1:06:18.920 --> 1:06:20.560 years on the force and she doesn't know the difference 1:06:20.600 --> 1:06:22.400 between a gun and a taser. Let me tell y'all 1:06:22.440 --> 1:06:25.360 something because you all be prisoners at the moment. This excuse, 1:06:25.840 --> 1:06:29.160 this lie, it's used quite often. Okay, it's been used 1:06:29.160 --> 1:06:31.960 before twenty nineteen. The police officer in Pennsylvania who never 1:06:32.040 --> 1:06:35.120 got identified because charges weren't filed because he shot a 1:06:35.200 --> 1:06:37.959 man named Brian Rilling. That officer said he must stoo 1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:40.040 kiss gun for a taser. Hell, it's happened in Minnesota 1:06:40.080 --> 1:06:43.280 before two thousand and two. A Rochester police officer who 1:06:43.320 --> 1:06:45.560 wasn't identified, thought he was reaching for a stun gun 1:06:45.640 --> 1:06:48.720 and pulled his forty glock and severely injured a man 1:06:48.840 --> 1:06:52.439 named Christopher Attack, Okay refugee from Sudan. No criminal charges 1:06:52.440 --> 1:06:55.439 were filed against that cop. Tolsa, Oklahoma, Robert Bates, white 1:06:55.560 --> 1:06:58.080 volunteer sheriff's deputy, shot and killed ano on black man 1:06:58.200 --> 1:07:00.720 named Eric Harris, who was being held down down by 1:07:00.800 --> 1:07:03.760 other officers. Bates apologized for killing Harrison, was sent us 1:07:03.760 --> 1:07:06.600 to four years in prison, and Tosa County had to 1:07:06.600 --> 1:07:09.360 pay six million to Harris's estate to settle a federal 1:07:09.840 --> 1:07:13.280 civil rights lawsuit should have came about his pension, you know, 1:07:13.520 --> 1:07:15.439 if he eventually got one. But all of those people, 1:07:15.720 --> 1:07:20.000 you know, mistook their guns. No, I'm stick there guns 1:07:20.040 --> 1:07:21.640 for tases and tastes for guns. I don't know. They 1:07:21.760 --> 1:07:24.440 mistook there tasers for guns. Whatever it was, Okay, they 1:07:24.520 --> 1:07:26.400 claimed it was a mistake. And oh, let's not forget 1:07:26.520 --> 1:07:29.200 the most famous case, at least of my lifetime. Y'all. 1:07:29.240 --> 1:07:32.000 Remember a young brother named Oscar Grant, right, A killer 1:07:32.040 --> 1:07:35.320 cop named John Hannes Mercelli testified that trial that he 1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:37.320 feared Oscar Grant had a weapon, so he reached for 1:07:37.400 --> 1:07:40.400 his stun gun, but mistakenly pulled his forty child as well, 1:07:40.680 --> 1:07:42.800 and he shot Oscar Grant. Well, Oscar Grant was laying 1:07:42.840 --> 1:07:45.920 face down in this situation. Johannes Marcelli was convicted of 1:07:45.960 --> 1:07:48.479 involuntary manslaughter and sent us to two years in prison, 1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:50.800 and the Department paid two point eight million to Oscar 1:07:50.840 --> 1:07:55.040 Grant's daughter and her mother Pennies for your life. Now, 1:07:55.240 --> 1:07:57.600 Robert Bates, who killed Eric Harris, when it happened to him, 1:07:57.640 --> 1:07:59.640 he said, this has happened a number of times around 1:07:59.680 --> 1:08:03.840 the country. You must believe me. It can happen to anyone. Sure, 1:08:04.200 --> 1:08:07.520 maybe I don't know, but it shouldn't. Okay. How is 1:08:07.560 --> 1:08:10.840 their mild practice in every professional industry except law enforcement? 1:08:10.920 --> 1:08:15.280 What's the definition of mild practice? Improper? Illegal? Are negligent 1:08:15.360 --> 1:08:19.919 professional activity or treatment? Police officers are rendering professional services 1:08:20.160 --> 1:08:23.880 which are resulting in injury, loss okay, loss of life 1:08:23.960 --> 1:08:26.360 that is, and damage? Yet they rarely, if ever get 1:08:26.400 --> 1:08:28.880 held accountable. If I can kill someone and just say 1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:32.360 my back, okay, how do I or anyone else watching 1:08:32.400 --> 1:08:35.040 this situation learn their lesson once again? Yeah, have to 1:08:35.080 --> 1:08:37.640 get rid of qualified immunity because these officers need to 1:08:37.640 --> 1:08:39.800 be sued directly, Okay. It needed to be their money 1:08:39.880 --> 1:08:42.800 and their pensions that contribute to these large payoffs from 1:08:42.840 --> 1:08:45.240 the state and civil suits and the threat of jail time. 1:08:45.400 --> 1:08:48.200 When police officers are interacting with civilians, the two words 1:08:48.240 --> 1:08:50.960 that need to be on their minds is pensions in prison. 1:08:51.320 --> 1:08:53.280 If I know as a cop, I could lose my 1:08:53.360 --> 1:08:55.800 pension are go to prison, I'd act rate. But the 1:08:55.840 --> 1:08:57.960 reason they will never act rate is because leadership in 1:08:58.000 --> 1:09:02.120 our country plays dumb okay. Leadership in our country downplays 1:09:02.160 --> 1:09:06.400 and minimizes these state sanctioned killings of black people. Exhibit 1:09:06.439 --> 1:09:09.400 a President Joe Biden, leader of the Free World, vice 1:09:09.439 --> 1:09:11.840 president to the first black president, picked a black woman, 1:09:11.880 --> 1:09:13.920 woman of color to be his vice president. Friend of 1:09:14.000 --> 1:09:17.400 black people, cornpop, okay, mouse and all of them. Was 1:09:17.479 --> 1:09:20.519 asked about Kim Potter shooting Dante right, and this is 1:09:20.560 --> 1:09:24.360 what he said. Wasn't an accident? Was it intentional? That 1:09:24.520 --> 1:09:28.800 remains to be determined by a full bawn investigation. But 1:09:28.920 --> 1:09:30.800 in the meantime, I want to make it clear again 1:09:31.000 --> 1:09:36.960 there is absolutely no justification for looting, no justification for violence. 1:09:37.120 --> 1:09:40.680 Oh God peaceful protests understand them, but we do know 1:09:41.240 --> 1:09:44.200 that the anger, pain and trauma the resist the black 1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:48.320 community in that environment is real it's serious and it's consequential, 1:09:48.600 --> 1:09:51.840 President Biden, it should be. There's absolutely no justification for 1:09:51.920 --> 1:09:55.920 police brutality, no justification for police violence against unarmed black 1:09:55.960 --> 1:09:57.840 people in this country. Why do we always call for 1:09:57.920 --> 1:10:00.160 the people to remain peaceful? Why do we all it's 1:10:00.160 --> 1:10:02.920 called for the people to remain calm, President Biden, cops 1:10:02.960 --> 1:10:05.000 of the ones not being peaceful, Cops of the ones 1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:08.280 not remaining calm. If the protests aren't peaceful, whose fault 1:10:08.400 --> 1:10:11.120 is that? Okay, violence be guests, violence, and police officers 1:10:11.160 --> 1:10:13.519 were held responsible for these actions, and maybe the protests 1:10:13.520 --> 1:10:15.560 would be peaceful. But we know in this episode of 1:10:15.600 --> 1:10:19.240 America with Three Ks that we've seen a million times 1:10:19.320 --> 1:10:21.200 that regardless of who's in the White House, nothing's going 1:10:21.240 --> 1:10:23.360 to change. Okay, what happened to the George Floyd policing? 1:10:23.439 --> 1:10:26.360 All the Democrats? Okay, who are championing this? Vice President 1:10:26.400 --> 1:10:28.519 Kamala Harris, Corey Booker, y'all should be front instent of 1:10:28.560 --> 1:10:31.240 pushing this right now in colonies, calling these cops in 1:10:31.320 --> 1:10:33.880 their behavior out. I don't want to hear President Biden 1:10:34.000 --> 1:10:37.560 saying the question is was it an accident? Was it intentional? 1:10:37.720 --> 1:10:40.440 That remarriage to be determined by a full blown investigation. 1:10:40.520 --> 1:10:43.439 Blah blah blah. President Biden stopped white man in me. Okay, 1:10:43.760 --> 1:10:46.360 I'm telling you, white people are having innate ability, especially 1:10:46.560 --> 1:10:48.920 white men and positions of power, having innate ability to 1:10:49.000 --> 1:10:51.719 play dumb when it comes to racial injustice. And boy, 1:10:52.040 --> 1:10:53.960 they give each other the benefit of the doubt and 1:10:54.120 --> 1:10:57.120 grace every single time. Look, I know, policing, it's still local. 1:10:57.240 --> 1:10:59.120 DA's got to do the work, and I know Kim 1:10:59.200 --> 1:11:01.479 Potter is a local issue, but the George Floyd Policing 1:11:01.479 --> 1:11:04.880 Act is necessary, and at least it's something that's all 1:11:04.920 --> 1:11:08.160 I want at this point, something, somebody somewhere, I gotta 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:10.240 show me something, because the only thing gonna happen to 1:11:10.360 --> 1:11:12.600 Keim Potter is this will be labeled an accident, No 1:11:12.760 --> 1:11:15.240 charges will be filed, She'll be fired and moved to 1:11:15.320 --> 1:11:17.639 a nearby jurisdiction and will not have to face any 1:11:17.680 --> 1:11:21.240 consequences for her malpractice. And people like President Biden will 1:11:21.280 --> 1:11:24.120 continue to show more concern for buildings than we the people, 1:11:24.560 --> 1:11:26.280 or should I say we the property, because as I 1:11:26.360 --> 1:11:28.720 told y'all yesterday during Donkey Today, this is what black 1:11:28.720 --> 1:11:31.040 people are in this country. Property and in these cities 1:11:31.040 --> 1:11:34.000 like Minnesota, they make more money off those buildings that 1:11:34.040 --> 1:11:36.120 are property than they do black people there. Four black 1:11:36.160 --> 1:11:38.599 folks are disposable. And that's why President Biden will say 1:11:38.760 --> 1:11:42.200 it's no justification for looting, rather than saying it's no 1:11:42.360 --> 1:11:45.160 justification for killing us and Joe. You can't say you 1:11:45.280 --> 1:11:47.479 understand the trauma the black community is facing. When you 1:11:47.640 --> 1:11:51.360 minimize that trauma to looting, you know that's not what's happening. 1:11:51.400 --> 1:11:54.280 Black people are fed up, angry and have every right 1:11:54.360 --> 1:11:57.720 to be. My therapist says, feel your fails, okay, And 1:11:57.840 --> 1:11:59.920 black people, women and men, you have every right to 1:12:00.120 --> 1:12:03.479 be angry and every right to express that anger. Not 1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:08.120 coming off as angry has gotten us nowhere. Okay, Yes 1:12:08.160 --> 1:12:09.920 we angry, Yes we pissed off. And if you are 1:12:09.920 --> 1:12:12.240 a human who cares about other humans in this country, 1:12:12.640 --> 1:12:15.679 you would be angry with us, okay. As Queen Tamika 1:12:15.720 --> 1:12:19.200 Mallory says, we don't need allies, we need accomplices. Everybody 1:12:19.320 --> 1:12:22.120 needs to be angry. Everybody needs to get angry if 1:12:22.200 --> 1:12:25.200 you truly care about other humans in this on this planet, 1:12:25.600 --> 1:12:28.439 because if you are silent about your pain, they'll kill 1:12:28.560 --> 1:12:32.040 you and say you enjoyed it. That's Zora Neil Hurston. 1:12:32.080 --> 1:12:34.639 By the way, please give Kim Potter and President Joe 1:12:34.720 --> 1:12:42.320 Biden the biggest he hall. All right, please please. I 1:12:42.479 --> 1:12:45.920 know President Joe Biden as a sitting president. Don't audit me. Okay, 1:12:46.240 --> 1:12:50.479 I don't even extra artists calling out a sitting president. Okay, 1:12:51.200 --> 1:12:54.280 thank you? Yeah, all right, well just remember that was Lenard, 1:12:54.400 --> 1:12:58.760 not Rashawn.

We're just doing a wellness check man. 1:13:49.360 --> 1:13:51.880 We're opening up the phone lines and having a conversation. 1:13:52.840 --> 1:13:54.360 Just how you feeling out there with everything that's going 1:13:54.400 --> 1:13:55.920 on in the last couple of days. Yeah, I mean 1:13:56.000 --> 1:13:57.760 it's heavy, right. You see all the trauma. You see 1:13:57.800 --> 1:14:01.400 the trauma from you know, watching m the lieutenant, you know, 1:14:01.600 --> 1:14:05.080 get get get get assaulted by those police officers. I 1:14:05.200 --> 1:14:07.640 forgot what state that was in. What was that at Virginia? Right? 1:14:08.200 --> 1:14:10.360 You know what I mean? Um? And you know watching 1:14:10.800 --> 1:14:13.840 officer Kim Potter killed Dante, right, Like, it's a lot 1:14:13.880 --> 1:14:20.240 of trauma being passed through the mid watching that happen, 1:14:20.680 --> 1:14:22.280 still in the middle of the Derek chov And trial, 1:14:22.360 --> 1:14:23.560 so you know he's gonna do it well in his 1:14:23.680 --> 1:14:26.800 check man. See, how are people feeling out there? All? Right? Well? Hello, 1:14:26.880 --> 1:14:30.519 who's this? Hello? Good morning? My name is Megan. Hey Megan, 1:14:30.560 --> 1:14:33.840 good morning. How are you feeling today? Megan? Honestly, after 1:14:34.040 --> 1:14:36.360 last summer, I thought I'd get over this trauma that 1:14:36.439 --> 1:14:38.640 I'm having about being black in America, But at this 1:14:38.760 --> 1:14:41.840 point it's just getting worse. Some worried. I'm getting tired 1:14:41.960 --> 1:14:44.560 of everything that's been going on. And I live in 1:14:44.640 --> 1:14:47.719 the South, so I see it a lot more than often, 1:14:48.479 --> 1:14:51.439 a lot more that's not publicized, and I'm over it. 1:14:51.800 --> 1:14:54.120 I tried to put myself in therapy. That's not helping. 1:14:54.400 --> 1:14:56.880 I'm a social worker. It's not helping me tell people 1:14:57.040 --> 1:14:59.680 like it's okay one day, all the discussions are going 1:14:59.720 --> 1:15:02.120 to change. I'm just gone. You know why. You know 1:15:02.240 --> 1:15:04.920 why because we're in a perpetual time loop. We're in 1:15:04.960 --> 1:15:07.479 a perpetual time loop of trauma. Like I call all 1:15:07.520 --> 1:15:10.880 of this new reruns. It shows that we've seen before, 1:15:10.960 --> 1:15:17.559 but it's new episodes of reruns. It's weird, like being traumatizing. Yeah, 1:15:17.720 --> 1:15:22.560 being black in America is such a uniquely traumatic experience 1:15:22.680 --> 1:15:26.120 that only I think black people could could truly understand. 1:15:26.800 --> 1:15:28.880 I think part of mine is too. It's like I'm 1:15:28.920 --> 1:15:30.920 black and then I've had also the trauma of beings 1:15:30.960 --> 1:15:35.320 in the Caribbean on Haitian, and like seeing anything that's 1:15:35.360 --> 1:15:37.640 happened over and over again, even the something's going on 1:15:37.720 --> 1:15:41.360 with Haiti right now, I don't feel like we've saved anywhere. Yeah, 1:15:41.680 --> 1:15:44.400 white supremacy is a disease man, and James Baldwin said, 1:15:44.400 --> 1:15:46.120 it's the best to be a Negro in this country, 1:15:46.200 --> 1:15:48.600 and to be, you know, somewhat conscious is to be 1:15:48.680 --> 1:15:52.479 in a constant state of age. That's very true. So 1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:55.479 what she's feeling is absolutely accurate. It's okay to feel 1:15:55.520 --> 1:15:57.479 like that. By the way, all right, thank you for 1:15:57.600 --> 1:16:02.480 calling mamma. Hello, who's this? My name is anotherment? Hey, anamous, 1:16:02.479 --> 1:16:05.280 how are you feeling. We can't see you. This is 1:16:05.360 --> 1:16:07.880 the radio. You don't have to say anonymous. You can 1:16:07.920 --> 1:16:11.599 just give a fake name. My name is Angie. How 1:16:11.680 --> 1:16:15.679 are you doing, Hi, Angie, what's happening? My name is Michel. 1:16:19.240 --> 1:16:24.080 How are you feeling? Angie? A little distraught today because 1:16:24.080 --> 1:16:26.760 I'm on my way to court a civil commitment, which 1:16:26.800 --> 1:16:30.360 means say, I'm going support to be told whether they're 1:16:30.360 --> 1:16:32.360 not going to put me in a hospital or if 1:16:32.439 --> 1:16:35.400 I'm going to continue out patients, because if some things 1:16:35.400 --> 1:16:39.519 can happen pertaining to my job. So, uh, you know, 1:16:39.640 --> 1:16:42.639 COVID with a rough year for everybody where I saw 1:16:42.880 --> 1:16:46.040 at first not enough people cared about what was going 1:16:46.120 --> 1:16:49.320 on within the people, and I got a little loud 1:16:49.880 --> 1:16:53.920 and things kind of went upside down. I don't think 1:16:53.920 --> 1:16:56.400 it's anything wrong with you getting a little loud. I 1:16:56.560 --> 1:16:58.920 think that we need to get louder. I think that 1:16:59.040 --> 1:17:01.200 the greatest, the great this trick that they've pulled on 1:17:01.360 --> 1:17:04.600 us is telling us that they do things to trigger us, 1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:06.400 do things to make us angry, and tell us that 1:17:06.520 --> 1:17:10.840 we can't come off as angry. No get angry. Yeah, 1:17:11.000 --> 1:17:13.400 I was told to be quiet and can you know, 1:17:13.640 --> 1:17:18.000 not say certain things within the obseration that I had, 1:17:18.160 --> 1:17:21.640 which was never a local county that I live in. 1:17:22.439 --> 1:17:25.560 So you know, that caught a lot of problems for 1:17:25.760 --> 1:17:28.599 me because telling someone that they needed to come back 1:17:28.640 --> 1:17:31.519 to work after things happened in their life with it 1:17:31.800 --> 1:17:37.080 with COVID going on, that was not good for me. Right, Well, 1:17:37.120 --> 1:17:40.719 I'm sending you healing energy. I'm sending you healing energy. 1:17:40.800 --> 1:17:42.880 Can I guess I'm sending it to your fake name 1:17:42.960 --> 1:17:45.840 since you gave us a fake name, Angie, Angie, but 1:17:45.920 --> 1:17:51.040 I'm sending you healing energy, Angie Fash your middle name. Okay, 1:17:51.720 --> 1:17:54.080 don't give too much information, no, but I'm glad that 1:17:54.120 --> 1:17:56.200 you're be able to call and express yourself. Sometimes people 1:17:56.240 --> 1:17:58.479 need to just verbalize how they fail too that helps 1:17:58.520 --> 1:18:01.880 a little. That's right, Well, thank you mama. All right, 1:18:01.920 --> 1:18:04.479 Well eight hundred five eight five one o five one 1:18:04.560 --> 1:18:06.400 call us let me know how you're feeling out there, 1:18:06.920 --> 1:18:09.160 so wellness check this morning.

Do they wait? 1:18:50.560 --> 1:18:52.760 Do the guns wait the thing? Are they on the 1:18:52.840 --> 1:18:56.080 same side? Are the grip of sting? Do they release 1:18:56.160 --> 1:18:58.519 from the hosts of things? There's a lot of puntions 1:18:58.520 --> 1:19:01.080 that need to be asked on. How can an officer 1:19:01.120 --> 1:19:04.280 who've been in the force for over twenty years confuse 1:19:04.360 --> 1:19:06.519 their gun with their hazard? Is it bidding to be 1:19:06.560 --> 1:19:12.519 possible to do that? Yes, situations. Haven't you been in 1:19:12.600 --> 1:19:17.000 these situations before like thin like Beau can't happen, No, 1:19:17.360 --> 1:19:19.880 you can't. It's malpractice. And like I said, you know, 1:19:20.040 --> 1:19:22.599 law enforcement is the only place where you know there 1:19:22.760 --> 1:19:26.320 is no consequences and repercussions to malpractice. It's like, really 1:19:26.439 --> 1:19:28.240 the grip the same on the gun and the pa 1:19:28.560 --> 1:19:31.560 they have to way different they do it. They do 1:19:31.640 --> 1:19:35.880 it different. When you put the point you don't need that, 1:19:35.960 --> 1:19:38.200 it looks different, like what are you looking at? Of 1:19:38.280 --> 1:19:41.760 course they do pray for America. A M E R 1:19:41.920 --> 1:19:44.400 I K k k A. I'm not praying for America. 1:19:44.400 --> 1:19:47.679 I'm praying America get exactly what it deserves, okay, because 1:19:47.720 --> 1:19:49.960 that's the only way things are gonna change. Things are 1:19:50.000 --> 1:19:52.519 gonna change when everybody gets exactly what they deserve and 1:19:52.560 --> 1:19:54.960 don't get it twisted the America guy that coming. Okay, 1:19:55.120 --> 1:19:58.920 Rome has fallen, Ladies and gentlemen. Let's go to another caller. Hello, 1:19:59.000 --> 1:20:02.120 who's this? This is Paige. Hey, good morning. How are 1:20:02.120 --> 1:20:05.880 you feeling this morning? Good? How are you are you 1:20:06.000 --> 1:20:10.240 really good? Are you really good? I'm okay, that's what 1:20:10.320 --> 1:20:13.200 I want to hear. Feel your feels go. I mean, 1:20:13.360 --> 1:20:16.840 she knew what she was doing it's modernate flavor basically. 1:20:17.439 --> 1:20:20.120 I mean, they're just legally killing the whole Black comedians. 1:20:20.160 --> 1:20:24.679 The community feels that way, feels that way, and don't 1:20:24.680 --> 1:20:28.120 feel bad a percussion away with it, like I just 1:20:28.200 --> 1:20:31.360 made a mistake. It was an accellent it was not 1:20:31.560 --> 1:20:35.160 an accident, right, That's what I'm saying. Their excuses though, 1:20:35.280 --> 1:20:37.559 is it was an accident, or they'll say like it's 1:20:37.600 --> 1:20:39.360 your fault because you did this, and they try to 1:20:39.439 --> 1:20:42.320 justify it. You could have video footage and everything in 1:20:42.479 --> 1:20:45.960 audio and still somehow they're able to get away with it. 1:20:46.160 --> 1:20:49.640 No repercussions, right, question, are you black or white? Man? 1:20:49.720 --> 1:20:54.080 No end to this? Unless there's no end to this, 1:20:54.360 --> 1:20:58.560 Like I feel like if George Floyd's killer does not 1:20:59.000 --> 1:21:03.320 get any type punishment, then the whole world is going 1:21:03.400 --> 1:21:06.640 to blow up. Like I'm so beyond there's no like 1:21:06.880 --> 1:21:12.400 words like I'm shaking right now, like this this poor 1:21:12.560 --> 1:21:16.439 man who just got shot for no reason, and there's 1:21:16.479 --> 1:21:18.680 gonna be no justice for him. There is gonna be 1:21:18.800 --> 1:21:22.760 no justice, there's no hope, there's no justice. You're you're white, right, 1:21:23.680 --> 1:21:26.639 I'm make I'm Hispanic and white. Okay, Well, I mean listen, 1:21:26.720 --> 1:21:28.519 I don't. I don't care the way because I'm happy, 1:21:28.600 --> 1:21:30.720 because you know, we need all hands on deck. If 1:21:30.760 --> 1:21:33.040 you're a human that cares about other humans, you know 1:21:33.520 --> 1:21:35.200 we need each other right now. We need to like 1:21:35.240 --> 1:21:37.960 we need accomplishes, not allies. And everybody has the right 1:21:38.000 --> 1:21:39.880 to be angry, and everybody has a right to express 1:21:39.960 --> 1:21:42.760 that anger. Because I keep quoting zor Neil Hurston because 1:21:42.760 --> 1:21:45.439 it's true. If we're silent about our pain, they'll kill 1:21:45.560 --> 1:21:47.800 us and say we enjoyed it. I mean, I had 1:21:47.880 --> 1:21:50.680 just shown my ten year old children a little five 1:21:50.760 --> 1:21:54.000 year old boy getting berated by cops to show them 1:21:54.400 --> 1:21:57.880 you cannot trust these cops. I have to cry and 1:21:58.040 --> 1:22:01.720 show them that you cannot trust God, like I have 1:22:01.880 --> 1:22:04.599 to know that they're not in the world. I mean, 1:22:04.640 --> 1:22:07.000 it's sad and it's scary. I mean, and like you said, 1:22:07.000 --> 1:22:09.599 with anxiety, like with Charlemagne and you said earlier, I mean, 1:22:10.000 --> 1:22:11.840 you don't know when it's coming from. You don't know 1:22:11.880 --> 1:22:13.360 if if if you're nervous to let your kids go 1:22:13.439 --> 1:22:15.559 to school because of mass shootings, you don't know if 1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:18.679 if if you let your son drive because they're killing 1:22:19.560 --> 1:22:21.519 on black men. You don't know if you can if 1:22:21.520 --> 1:22:22.840 it's safe to take them to the mall. You know, 1:22:22.880 --> 1:22:25.360 I mean, you just it's everything is so scary. Just 1:22:25.479 --> 1:22:27.519 you just want to create your own fort and just 1:22:27.640 --> 1:22:30.920 living and never leave like it's that scary. Pick your 1:22:31.000 --> 1:22:33.519 own trauma. And why do I envision you building a 1:22:33.560 --> 1:22:35.880 fort in your bedroom? And yeah, asking you what the 1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:38.840 hell is your problem? Why why you do it in 1:22:38.880 --> 1:22:41.559 my bedroom? Doesn't everything back when you build a fort? 1:22:41.560 --> 1:22:43.280 Do you do it with pillows? What do you using 1:22:44.560 --> 1:22:47.120 about me? And do you use the cushions, the cushions 1:22:47.160 --> 1:22:49.559 on the couch. I used the cushions on the couch, 1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:52.639 but those are the best. They stirty, They definitely stirty 1:22:52.680 --> 1:22:54.840 it in pillows. What's the moral of the story, man? 1:22:54.880 --> 1:22:58.400 Why else? I hate you? Man? Just letting people calling 1:22:58.520 --> 1:23:01.120 and express themselves as a lot going on. Sometimes people 1:23:01.120 --> 1:23:03.800 aren't able to verbalize that. Sometimes people don't even ask 1:23:03.840 --> 1:23:06.120 you how are you doing? Yeah, I'll tell you them 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:08.720 all of the story, man, James Baldwin, Because everybody out 1:23:08.760 --> 1:23:10.759 there needs to feel their fields. And if you feel angry, 1:23:10.840 --> 1:23:12.799 that's perfectly fine. If you've got a lot of anxiety, 1:23:12.840 --> 1:23:15.439 that's perfectly fine. Because James Baldwin said to be a 1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:18.439 negro in this country, and to be relatively conscious is 1:23:18.439 --> 1:23:24.680 to be in a rage almost all the time. All right, well, 1:23:24.680 --> 1:23:27.080 we got rumors on the way, yes, and let's talk 1:23:27.080 --> 1:23:29.519 about Drake. It looks like he'll be on the next 1:23:29.680 --> 1:23:32.360 drink Chimps. I'm gonna tell you some things we do 1:23:32.560 --> 1:23:35.080 know that we'll be addressed. All right, we'll get into 1:23:35.120 --> 1:23:39.040 that next. It's the breakfast club, Go morning, the breakfast Club. 1:23:42.240 --> 1:23:45.880 I've never met. This guy knows nothing about latinos. Bro. 1:23:46.360 --> 1:23:49.080 You talk about traumas. Oh yeah, I'll be asking him 1:23:49.200 --> 1:23:51.880 questions and he don't have no answers. He's fake. It's 1:23:51.960 --> 1:23:54.439 all right, dad, We all to breakfast club. Let's get 1:23:54.439 --> 1:23:57.960 to rumors. Let's talk to YOUMX. This is the rumor 1:23:58.000 --> 1:24:10.000 report with angela way where looks like Nori might have 1:24:10.160 --> 1:24:12.960 that sit down with Drake coming soon now. He said 1:24:13.320 --> 1:24:15.960 he posted a picture with Drake. He said Champagne. Oh, 1:24:16.000 --> 1:24:17.439 he said, you see my face and you know why 1:24:17.479 --> 1:24:21.639 I'm here, Champagne Poppy. But who's who? Obio drink Champs 1:24:21.760 --> 1:24:24.360 loading and then he puts certified love for boy loading. 1:24:24.720 --> 1:24:26.360 A lot of people don't know. But I squashed the 1:24:26.400 --> 1:24:28.760 beat between DMX and Drake through my boy forty. But 1:24:28.880 --> 1:24:31.200 we will say that for drink Champs got a big 1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:33.880 up Obio forty are mine and fancy. That's the fact. 1:24:34.160 --> 1:24:39.240 Nori definitely uh smooth that over all. Right, So let's 1:24:39.320 --> 1:24:42.560 revisit what exactly happened now. When DMX was on the 1:24:42.600 --> 1:24:45.600 Breakfast Club in two thy twelve, I asked what he 1:24:45.680 --> 1:24:47.360 thought about Drake. We were talking about a lot of 1:24:47.400 --> 1:24:51.560 different artists naming people, and here's what happened. What about Drake? Drake? No, 1:24:52.160 --> 1:24:54.640 I don't like anything about Drake. Mom. I don't like 1:24:54.720 --> 1:24:58.320 his voice he talks about I don't see trying to 1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:04.960 I don't he walks like nothing. I might just let 1:25:04.960 --> 1:25:07.000 me shut out. I'm gonna stop right there. Have you 1:25:07.240 --> 1:25:09.360 been converted to a Drake fan yet? No? What do 1:25:09.400 --> 1:25:11.920 you think about the new Elia album now? Disrespectful like 1:25:12.040 --> 1:25:13.960 like like like they don't even make sense, That's what 1:25:14.040 --> 1:25:15.720 I'm saying, Like like you can't, you can't do it 1:25:15.920 --> 1:25:18.400 like that. That's like wrong, man, Like I wish it 1:25:18.520 --> 1:25:21.400 was like maybe seven years ago. Well, you know, catch 1:25:21.840 --> 1:25:25.080 to beat him up. That was the first time we 1:25:25.160 --> 1:25:28.720 interviewed DMX. In the second time we interviewed all right well, 1:25:28.840 --> 1:25:31.240 and in twenty sixteen he changed his tune. That on 1:25:31.360 --> 1:25:33.880 he had some more positive things to say. Listen to 1:25:34.160 --> 1:25:36.280 what he said about Drake. You were a fan of 1:25:36.400 --> 1:25:38.680 Drake at first. I did always say that he was 1:25:38.720 --> 1:25:40.720 to tell delricous, but I was not a fan. I 1:25:40.840 --> 1:25:45.040 was not, And another homely experience. Of course, we were like, yo, 1:25:45.600 --> 1:25:47.920 you didn't like this dude for all the wrong reasons, 1:25:48.200 --> 1:25:50.120 but you know there was other reasons. You know, we 1:25:50.200 --> 1:25:53.160 were getting all that. But for him to take the 1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.000 effort first to want to use the song I'm saying, 1:25:56.280 --> 1:25:58.800 and then to be man enough to reach out and 1:25:58.880 --> 1:26:02.639 make the calls soft man, that was a real move. 1:26:02.920 --> 1:26:05.040 That's gonna make for a great Drink Champ story. And 1:26:05.120 --> 1:26:06.840 I'm a person who feels like you have to have 1:26:06.920 --> 1:26:09.280 at least a ten year career to be on Drink Champs. 1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:11.439 Drake has that. So I would love to see Drake 1:26:11.520 --> 1:26:14.880 drinking Virginia Black, which is his bourbon, and popping bottles 1:26:14.920 --> 1:26:16.920 of Loyalty, which is Jay Prince's wine. I would love 1:26:16.960 --> 1:26:19.880 to see him doing that on Drink Champs. And if 1:26:19.960 --> 1:26:21.920 Drake does drink Champs, boy, I'm gonna have The Black 1:26:21.960 --> 1:26:24.920 Effect and iHeartRadio promote that podcast like Oprah promoted her 1:26:24.960 --> 1:26:28.680 sitting down with Megan Marcole and Harry Potter. What's his name? 1:26:28.840 --> 1:26:30.640 His name is definitely Harry Potter, but we know he 1:26:30.760 --> 1:26:33.920 mean yes And can I also say too that Nori 1:26:34.360 --> 1:26:36.000 And I'm not saying this because he's my friend in 1:26:36.040 --> 1:26:39.160 business partner. I'm saying this because it's true. Drink Champs 1:26:39.320 --> 1:26:42.800 is the best platform for hip hop right now because 1:26:42.920 --> 1:26:45.960 Nori and DJ Effin created a lane five years ago 1:26:46.040 --> 1:26:48.760 to give OG hip hop artists a platform and it's 1:26:48.800 --> 1:26:51.280 grown into something special and over the past I would 1:26:51.280 --> 1:26:55.160 probably say a year, nobody's doing OG hip hop conversations 1:26:55.200 --> 1:26:59.040 better than Drink Champs. Man not even close dropping the 1:26:59.120 --> 1:27:03.639 clothesb Entreneuria in DJ every every morning to Morningay give 1:27:03.640 --> 1:27:11.360 it up for Nori, Right, make sure you check out 1:27:11.720 --> 1:27:14.400 Drink Champs on The Black Effect Guy Heart Radio podcast network. 1:27:15.520 --> 1:27:18.040 All right now, ll cool J is not feeling the 1:27:18.120 --> 1:27:21.360 fact that people are calling him the forefather of pop rap. 1:27:21.920 --> 1:27:25.560 It was a whole discussion that was happening and LL 1:27:25.760 --> 1:27:28.040 cool J said, me being called the forefather a pop 1:27:28.120 --> 1:27:30.759 rap is very confusing. What the f are y'all talking 1:27:30.840 --> 1:27:33.760 about So people were talking about I Need Love, and 1:27:33.880 --> 1:27:35.839 they were saying that was like one of the beginning 1:27:35.920 --> 1:27:39.599 songs of pop rap. Listen to it. I Need lab 1:27:39.680 --> 1:27:45.120 in case you I don't know, but mainstream ago. Sometimes 1:27:45.160 --> 1:27:48.200 I stay with the back of my mind and my 1:27:48.280 --> 1:27:52.519 conscious call telling me I need a girl. First time, 1:27:52.680 --> 1:27:57.080 I was like I need love, giggling about the games. 1:27:59.160 --> 1:28:01.040 You're gonna take him up? And then you start sing, 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:04.760 wasn't I was on beat? You wasn't. First of all, 1:28:05.880 --> 1:28:07.920 hip hop is pop culture, and it's been pop culture 1:28:07.920 --> 1:28:10.240 for a long time. Pop culture is just short for popular. 1:28:10.640 --> 1:28:13.240 So I Need Love was a very very popular record. 1:28:13.280 --> 1:28:15.160 It's not a pop It's definitely not a pop sounding 1:28:15.200 --> 1:28:17.720 record by any means. But I understand what people mean 1:28:17.760 --> 1:28:19.760 when they say hip hop is pop culture. They didn't 1:28:19.760 --> 1:28:21.840 know pop record. That wasn't a pop er. He was rapping. 1:28:21.960 --> 1:28:23.600 It wasn't like all, I'm gonna do this record for 1:28:24.320 --> 1:28:27.040 pop rad listen to anything that I said. Just no, no, 1:28:27.200 --> 1:28:32.080 I didn't short for popular. Yeah, but hip hop has 1:28:32.120 --> 1:28:34.640 been the most popular genre and culture for a long time. Yes, 1:28:34.680 --> 1:28:36.080 it's not a pop They didn't mean it like that. 1:28:36.240 --> 1:28:38.439 They meant pop sounding. You know they didn't. There's no 1:28:38.439 --> 1:28:39.960 way they couldn't meant it like that. It just means 1:28:40.040 --> 1:28:42.519 it crushed over to mainstream basically to be on the 1:28:42.560 --> 1:28:45.160 pop charts as well. That's all by definition, but that's 1:28:45.200 --> 1:28:47.479 not saying that hip hop and rap is not. That 1:28:47.720 --> 1:28:49.800 is what is popular. Yes, it is. Hip hoop is 1:28:49.800 --> 1:28:52.439 pop culture. Sorry, guys and gals, it is what it is, 1:28:53.439 --> 1:28:56.320 all right. DJ Mustard is saying that his personal shoppers 1:28:56.360 --> 1:28:59.200 stole over fifty thousand dollars from him and spent it 1:28:59.280 --> 1:29:02.360 on bags, and he even posted a screenshot of a 1:29:02.479 --> 1:29:05.880 conversation where she actually apologized to him and he added 1:29:05.920 --> 1:29:07.760 her He said, Actionelle de Johan. We let her use 1:29:07.800 --> 1:29:10.200 the stylist word so she could get business, but the 1:29:10.280 --> 1:29:12.479 truth is she did nothing but shop. Today I found 1:29:12.520 --> 1:29:15.040 out that she ran my credit cards up over fifty 1:29:15.160 --> 1:29:19.040 k buying stuff for herself, persons, shoes, shades, and other stuff. 1:29:19.080 --> 1:29:21.080 I'm hot and I'm only writing that so nobody else 1:29:21.160 --> 1:29:23.479 deals with her. She's bad for business. I have all 1:29:23.560 --> 1:29:25.800 the receipts to prove everything. I paid her more than 1:29:25.880 --> 1:29:27.960 she was worth because I don't play with taking care 1:29:28.000 --> 1:29:30.519 of people that do their jobs. He was paying her 1:29:30.560 --> 1:29:33.560 six thousand per month, he said, and after calculating she 1:29:33.640 --> 1:29:35.840 could have good and well wrapped up over one hundred 1:29:35.920 --> 1:29:39.559 thousand and expenses, she ran up fifteen thousand and Louis 1:29:39.640 --> 1:29:44.200 Vatan alone on herself except for some effing Instagram likes? 1:29:44.360 --> 1:29:49.040 Can I play White Devil's advocate for just a second. Technically, 1:29:49.160 --> 1:29:51.920 it's not like the personal shopper didn't do what you 1:29:52.040 --> 1:29:55.639 paid her to do. Is it defined that personal shoppers 1:29:55.720 --> 1:29:58.599 only buy stuff for you? Yes? It is, you dumbass, Yeah, 1:29:59.040 --> 1:30:03.960 six tho yourself? Are you kidding me? Personal shopper meant 1:30:04.120 --> 1:30:06.400 for herself personally, That's what I'm saying. Is it defined 1:30:06.520 --> 1:30:11.200 that I'm only personally shopping for you? Yes? In writing 1:30:11.360 --> 1:30:15.240 that part of the job description, you just said personal shopping. 1:30:15.280 --> 1:30:17.720 I did some personal shopping that bought me a few things. No, 1:30:18.040 --> 1:30:19.560 he can't do that, not if I pay you know? 1:30:21.479 --> 1:30:25.479 All right, Well that that is your rumor report, all right. 1:30:26.040 --> 1:30:27.560 Six thousand dolls is a lot of month to go 1:30:27.800 --> 1:30:29.639 a lot of money a month to go personal shopping 1:30:29.640 --> 1:30:31.840 for somebody, because you probably had money to do other stuff. 1:30:32.000 --> 1:30:33.840 And you know, on the scamming lines, I saw that 1:30:33.960 --> 1:30:36.160 this stripper had posted that she was upset that Usher 1:30:36.280 --> 1:30:40.000 didn't pay the strippers with real money. He used some usherbucks, 1:30:40.120 --> 1:30:43.160 some Usher bucks, and she said the money does not 1:30:43.280 --> 1:30:46.280 have a trade in value whatsoever. Don't y'all think he 1:30:46.280 --> 1:30:49.120 should be blasted on social media for this? She said 1:30:49.160 --> 1:30:52.120 she danced all night and Usher through that. But it 1:30:52.240 --> 1:30:54.000 looks like the story is a little different. I seen 1:30:54.040 --> 1:30:56.640 multiple other people saying that what really happened was he 1:30:56.760 --> 1:30:59.320 did pay money, and he was throwing money all night. 1:30:59.400 --> 1:31:02.240 But somebody left the Usher Bucks as like kind of 1:31:02.280 --> 1:31:05.120 a joke and it's something that he's doing to promote 1:31:05.200 --> 1:31:08.679 his Vegas residency. And he just threw out some usher bucks. 1:31:08.680 --> 1:31:10.960 They threw out some usher bucks, that something Charlomagne would do. 1:31:11.320 --> 1:31:14.160 First of all, God bless that savage name Usher Raymond. 1:31:14.200 --> 1:31:16.160 The fourth drop on the clue bombs him, and the 1:31:16.200 --> 1:31:18.360 fourth I don't see anything wrong with what he did. 1:31:18.920 --> 1:31:21.280 You have to know your worth. What what's what's knowing 1:31:21.360 --> 1:31:24.479 your worth more than having your own currency? Okay, may 1:31:24.600 --> 1:31:26.840 not mean anything to any mercy, it's not worth nothing. 1:31:27.120 --> 1:31:30.360 Who says who? It's all about what you put value 1:31:30.400 --> 1:31:33.960 on Okay, stay shut up. It's savings treat these ushbucks 1:31:34.000 --> 1:31:35.720 the way you would treat a two dollar bill. Hold 1:31:35.760 --> 1:31:39.320 on to it. Maybe it could be see come on 1:31:39.720 --> 1:31:43.320 then you then you go. Thank you. NFT go ahead 1:31:43.360 --> 1:31:45.960 and make one hundred and sixty thousand off of these ushbucks. 1:31:46.200 --> 1:31:48.000 You play around. If you want, you take the mushbucks 1:31:48.040 --> 1:31:49.760 to a store Louis Vauton, Gucci or any of the 1:31:49.800 --> 1:31:51.839 other stores. You get arrested. Don't even take it to McDonald's. 1:31:51.880 --> 1:31:53.640 Wherever you go, dollar store, You're gonna get arrested with 1:31:53.640 --> 1:31:55.960 the mush want I really, I'm gonna be honest with you. 1:31:56.120 --> 1:31:59.240 I really need Usher to do a versus. I need 1:31:59.360 --> 1:32:01.479 somebody to stay up up and get that smoke, get 1:32:01.560 --> 1:32:04.200 that slang that Usher Raymond is gonna give them because 1:32:04.240 --> 1:32:06.840 I am so tired of y'all disrespecting Usher Raymond the 1:32:06.880 --> 1:32:09.800 Fourth when it gets a million asher box.

When 1:32:26.120 --> 1:32:29.680 did you hear that? All right? Said? It depends on 1:32:29.800 --> 1:32:32.320 who the song is up against whose I don't share 1:32:32.439 --> 1:32:35.800 what song you play.

We do have a lot 1:33:35.240 --> 1:33:37.519 of cars in Atlanta, and people are submitting their cars 1:33:37.520 --> 1:33:38.800 and you can submit your car if you want to 1:33:38.800 --> 1:33:40.679 put your car in the car show. But we're actually 1:33:40.760 --> 1:33:43.519 doing a rally to the car show. So we're driving 1:33:43.640 --> 1:33:45.799 from New York. We're starting off at the radio station, 1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:49.360 and we're driving to Atlanta two days. So it's gonna 1:33:49.360 --> 1:33:50.720 be a lot of fun. If you want to drive 1:33:50.840 --> 1:33:53.599 from you know, hang with us rally to the car show. 1:33:53.720 --> 1:33:55.600 It's gonna be a lot of fun.

So ye, well you 1:34:00.320 --> 1:34:03.120 speed so you can't go, but anybody else you can 1:34:03.200 --> 1:34:06.200 definitely come rally to the car show. It's gonna be 1:34:06.200 --> 1:34:08.720 an amazing time. It's the first week in July, so 1:34:09.240 --> 1:34:10.680 just look out for that. Why the hell is it 1:34:10.720 --> 1:34:15.439 going to stop Sharlot first? Stop in Charlotte first, because 1:34:15.479 --> 1:34:17.920 it'll be like an eleven hour ride, twelve hour ride, 1:34:17.960 --> 1:34:19.920 so that's a lot for people. So we rides, you know, 1:34:20.200 --> 1:34:22.320 eight hours to Charlotte and then three four hours the 1:34:22.360 --> 1:34:24.720 next day, make an experience out of it.

It's probably about 1:34:37.240 --> 1:34:39.479 I would say, maybe a decade. Did you get the ticket? 1:34:39.640 --> 1:34:42.000 Actually he gave me a warning.

Now, the 1:35:24.640 --> 1:35:28.760 Real Change Opportunity Fund is uplifting black entrepreneurs. And right 1:35:28.840 --> 1:35:30.960 now we have a special person on the line right now, 1:35:31.040 --> 1:35:32.400 And I hate the factor of the zoom because I 1:35:32.400 --> 1:35:34.519 would love to actually see these people in the person. 1:35:34.960 --> 1:35:38.600 Now we have Nicole Portwood. Now. She joined PepsiCo in 1:35:38.640 --> 1:35:42.280 September twenty eighteen as Vice president of Marketing for Mountain 1:35:42.360 --> 1:35:45.400 dew Energy and Flavors, leading three hundred and sixty degree 1:35:45.479 --> 1:35:49.240 brand marketing strategy across the portfolio. Nicole joined Pepsi Co. 1:35:49.439 --> 1:35:52.320 From Tito's Homemade Vacca, where she led branding for nine 1:35:52.400 --> 1:35:56.160 years in Austin, Texas. Now, Nicole was instrumental in developing 1:35:56.200 --> 1:35:59.680 this program for black entrepreneurs. So, ladies and gentlemen, the 1:36:00.000 --> 1:36:02.120 old Portwood, Hey and v it's great to be here 1:36:02.200 --> 1:36:04.760 with you. Thanks for joining me. So let's talk about 1:36:04.800 --> 1:36:07.160 this program. How did this program get created and why 1:36:07.200 --> 1:36:09.920 did it start? So we announced the Real Change Opportunity 1:36:10.000 --> 1:36:13.440 Fund on the heels of PepsiCo, our parent company, announcing 1:36:13.560 --> 1:36:16.840 our four hundred million dollar commitment to uplift black communities 1:36:16.840 --> 1:36:20.479 and Black representation and Mountain Dew. We recognize that there 1:36:20.600 --> 1:36:22.960 was this immediate need for us to take action as 1:36:23.000 --> 1:36:25.720 a brand and to do what we could to really 1:36:25.800 --> 1:36:30.839 drive tangible change in the specific fight against systemic racism 1:36:30.920 --> 1:36:34.000 and inequality faced by Black people in America. We really 1:36:34.120 --> 1:36:37.920 felt like entrepreneurs are the key to closing the wealth 1:36:38.000 --> 1:36:40.639 gap that has been in place for far too long 1:36:40.720 --> 1:36:43.320 and is really based on systemic racism throughout our history. 1:36:43.720 --> 1:36:47.320 Entrepreneurs really exemplify what Mountain Dew's all about. They're the doers, right, 1:36:47.400 --> 1:36:50.559 They're the ones who are getting out there changing their lives, 1:36:50.680 --> 1:36:52.920 changing the world, and changing things for the Black community. 1:36:53.000 --> 1:36:56.400 So the Real Change Opportunity Fund is our way to 1:36:56.920 --> 1:37:00.280 build hope, to inspire lasting impact and empower the next 1:37:00.320 --> 1:37:04.080 generation of entrepreneurs. Now why HBCUs. You know HBCUs play 1:37:04.080 --> 1:37:06.719 as such a crucial role in personal and professional development. 1:37:06.800 --> 1:37:10.000 I went to a HBCU university. What's up? But why 1:37:10.280 --> 1:37:14.120 you know HBCUs? Why that route? Um? You know? As 1:37:14.160 --> 1:37:16.759 a brand, this is the first time that we've developed 1:37:16.800 --> 1:37:21.040 something official in partnering with HBCUs. But PepsiCo overall has 1:37:21.320 --> 1:37:25.400 fostered and developed relationships across HBCUs by launching programs like 1:37:25.760 --> 1:37:29.160 She Got Now and twenty twenty Virtual Marching Band Performance. 1:37:29.200 --> 1:37:31.600 So this is our opportunity to put a stake in 1:37:31.680 --> 1:37:35.240 the ground and really solidify our own relationship with HBCUs 1:37:35.320 --> 1:37:39.400 because that's how you invest in talent from these legacy schools. 1:37:39.479 --> 1:37:42.280 That's how you make sure you're investing at the route 1:37:42.400 --> 1:37:45.400 and identifying those brilliant minds that are going to change 1:37:45.439 --> 1:37:49.360 the future. Now, one million dollar prize group, Now what 1:37:49.600 --> 1:37:51.120 is that going to do to for the community, Like, 1:37:51.240 --> 1:37:54.840 that is a lot of money, it is, and we're 1:37:54.960 --> 1:37:58.320 so excited to be able to give this to the 1:37:58.720 --> 1:38:02.960 winning entrepreneurs and these incredible, incredibly talented, brilliant people who 1:38:03.040 --> 1:38:06.160 brought their ideas to us. This was driven by the 1:38:06.240 --> 1:38:10.120 recognition that black entrepreneurs tend to receive less funding than 1:38:10.240 --> 1:38:13.040 non black entrepreneurs. Like, that's a real insight in what's 1:38:13.040 --> 1:38:15.120 happening in the world, and we have an opportunity to 1:38:15.200 --> 1:38:18.360 shift that dynamic. So this one million dollars is meant 1:38:18.400 --> 1:38:21.600 to really inspire and empower some of the best and 1:38:21.680 --> 1:38:25.240 brightest black entrepreneurs out there. So do and our panel 1:38:25.320 --> 1:38:28.120 of expert doers, including you, are going to be providing 1:38:28.320 --> 1:38:31.599 not only the opportunity for this prize pool, but insight 1:38:31.720 --> 1:38:34.880 and feedback and mentorship to these finalists. And we're going 1:38:34.920 --> 1:38:37.160 to give them this platform to tell their story so 1:38:37.400 --> 1:38:40.040 that not only, like I said, they have this opportunity 1:38:40.040 --> 1:38:41.920 to win the money, but it's going to shine a 1:38:42.000 --> 1:38:45.200 light on the incredible ideas that they have, the momentum 1:38:45.280 --> 1:38:47.640 that they've built, and the future that they had so 1:38:48.320 --> 1:38:50.599 money to be had a platform to tell the story, 1:38:50.760 --> 1:38:53.840 and we're hoping that that inspires the community to get 1:38:53.880 --> 1:38:56.960 out there and reach for their dreams and drives additional entrepreneurialism. 1:38:57.520 --> 1:39:00.960 So yeah, not only are the contestants is going to 1:39:01.040 --> 1:39:03.280 receive a portion of that million dollar prize pool, but 1:39:03.360 --> 1:39:06.160 each HBCU that they come from is also going to 1:39:06.240 --> 1:39:09.439 receive an award fund that's dedicated to creating real change 1:39:09.479 --> 1:39:11.880 at those universities. Yeah. I was going to ask money 1:39:11.960 --> 1:39:15.240 is great, Like everybody wants money, but guided, So how 1:39:15.280 --> 1:39:17.360 are they going to definitely get that guides beside the 1:39:17.400 --> 1:39:19.439 panelists because you just can't give somebody a bunch of money, 1:39:19.479 --> 1:39:20.760 but like go do it on your own because they 1:39:20.840 --> 1:39:24.080 might not know. So how important is the guidance. I 1:39:24.160 --> 1:39:26.560 think that's a critical part of what we're doing and 1:39:26.680 --> 1:39:29.240 how we're engaging with these entrepreneurs. You know, they had 1:39:29.280 --> 1:39:32.479 an opportunity to meet with some of our judges prior 1:39:32.600 --> 1:39:36.200 to the actual competition, go through mentorship sessions here from 1:39:36.320 --> 1:39:38.720 business leaders who can give them insight into the kind 1:39:38.760 --> 1:39:41.559 of challenges they're going to face, really begin to prod 1:39:41.640 --> 1:39:44.799 at their ideas and start to ask the difficult questions 1:39:44.880 --> 1:39:47.000 that they're going to need to answer as they grow 1:39:47.080 --> 1:39:50.240 their businesses and look for incremental funding. You're right that 1:39:50.400 --> 1:39:53.080 sometimes too much money with a seed of an idea, 1:39:53.080 --> 1:39:56.800 it can be difficult because they don't necessarily know where 1:39:56.840 --> 1:39:59.519 to invest it or what's the next best problem to solve. 1:39:59.600 --> 1:40:02.880 But where we're really leaning in on a mentorship and 1:40:03.400 --> 1:40:06.680 guidance platform to make sure we stay engaged with these folks. Now, 1:40:06.760 --> 1:40:09.840 tomorrow's the competition, right, So now what are you looking 1:40:09.880 --> 1:40:12.400 forward to see during this competition? I mean, because I 1:40:12.479 --> 1:40:14.160 don't know what to expect. I don't know what they're 1:40:14.200 --> 1:40:15.639 going to be pitching. Is it going to be apps, 1:40:15.800 --> 1:40:18.560 Is it going to be you know, bricking mortar? Like 1:40:18.760 --> 1:40:21.080 I don't know what we should be expected. What are 1:40:21.120 --> 1:40:22.560 you expect? What are you looking forward to tomorrow? But 1:40:22.640 --> 1:40:24.200 I want to get too much away, but I can 1:40:24.360 --> 1:40:27.400 tell you that based on the applications that we've received, 1:40:27.520 --> 1:40:29.519 we know that all of these entrepreneurs are going to 1:40:29.560 --> 1:40:32.400 be bringing their a game for the final round. There's 1:40:32.439 --> 1:40:34.960 going to be really stiff competition. These are some of 1:40:35.040 --> 1:40:38.240 the best and brightest out there, and the ideas range 1:40:38.360 --> 1:40:42.160 from tangible things to technology, all of them, all of 1:40:42.200 --> 1:40:44.680 them geared toward having a massive impact, not just for 1:40:44.720 --> 1:40:48.200 the entrepreneur themselves, but for their community. And that's what 1:40:48.320 --> 1:40:50.920 I'm really looking forward to, seeing how the dynamic of 1:40:51.000 --> 1:40:53.559 the idea is going to make real change. Well, I'm 1:40:53.640 --> 1:40:56.000 looking forward to seeing this tomorrow and I will see 1:40:56.000 --> 1:40:57.880 you tomorrow.
