We all decided to broadcast from home today 0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:11.240 because it's supposed to be another winter storm hitting the 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.840 Tri State area. For everybody that listens to us everywhere 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:16.360 across the country, wearing new York of course, the New 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.800 York New Jersey area. There's supposed to be another ten 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:21.360 inches today. Yeah, I supposed to be supposed to start already, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.120 but they didn't start as it yet, so I decided to, 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:24.920 you know, keep my ass home just in case and 0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.440 not stuck in the city. It's at eleven am. Ye, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.640 eleven am now, yeah, yeah, eleven am, which would be 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.959 which would be our commute home. Right, They're still having 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.000 a lot of emergencies in Texas. This is ridiculous. I 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:41.360 don't know what they're gonna do there. That's crazy that 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.920 they shut off people's power. People are ice in their 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.240 own houses right now. People are leaving and having to 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:49.400 try to find somewhere to go, sleeping in their cars. 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.120 Listen to South is not prepared for one of storms, 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:54.720 you know what I mean. Like, I'm from South Carolina, 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.400 so I remember when one inch of snow literally would 0:01:57.400 --> 0:01:59.600 shut the whole state down. So I can only imagine 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.840 what's happen in Texas right now, right and let me 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.960 shout out Stacy Lynch. Stacy Lynches, she's running for city 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.680 council in New York City District seven. I actually went 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:13.000 to Hampton University with her dad as a prominent political 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.120 figure in New York City, help David Dinkins become mayor 0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:19.680 and help many others. So she decided to I think 0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.600 she was working in DC something and she decided to 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:24.800 resign and come back and want to help her community. 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.520 So yesterday she had her first fundraiser to start. Amazing person. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.280 She's an attorney. Like I said, she graduated from Hampton. 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.600 She was my big sister. Anytime you go to college, Charlemagne, 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:36.440 I don't know if we had the same thing, but 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.440 when you go to HBCU, they give you like a 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.880 big sister, a big brother to help you around campus, 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.799 to make sure you know you know what to do, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.120 where you go to the laundry, what not to do, 0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.120 the ins and out to the university. And she was 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.079 one of my big sisters. And she's running. So you know, 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.280 we did a fundraiser for her last night. I DJ 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.519 and had a bunch of Hampton people on there to 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.600 start raising money. The person that she's going against don't 0:02:57.639 --> 0:02:59.320 remember his name. I just know he's a white man 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:01.919 and the district is around the Hall of area. So 0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:04.680 she her and her dad been living in Hall ofm 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.120 on her life So check out Stacy Lynch if you're 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.880 in New York City for City Council. She's really really dope, 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:13.440 really really bright, and really really wants to give back 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.080 to the community and help them with education and all 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.239 those other things. So shout to Stacy Lynch and me 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:19.799 and how I used to go back and forth. You're 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.200 gonna laugh playing spades. So in between classes, her room 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.239 was like two rooms above her mine, so her and 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.519 her roommate and me and Gia would go and play 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:30.919 spades in between classes. But she's she's really really dope. 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:36.280 So check out Stacy instead of going to classes. Why 0:03:36.280 --> 0:03:39.520 are you saying people gonna live? That's an HBCU. Remember 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.360 one time I was at the crig and my mom 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.760 went to cycle under State. Were just the crib playing spade, 0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:45.600 and I said something. My mom was like, you think 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.360 I'm not a play spade? I went to an HBCU. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:52.960 One of my friends actually had to do another semester 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.200 because she used to miss class all the time because 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.080 she would be playing spades. Is that your friend that 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.520 went to him do with me? No, she went to 0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:01.720 college to me, you with the college with you? Okay, 0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.160 you said one of your friends say school. Congrats. Congrats 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:06.760 to all of y'all who learned how to play spage 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.720 in college at a nice HPCU. I learned how to 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:14.520 play s page in the county jail? For me, what 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:16.360 did y'all play for? Because you know, college we play 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.360 for things. What did you play for the county jail? 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:25.200 What did we didn't play for? Nothing? Play play to 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:27.279 play the path to time. That's what we played. Bro, 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:29.560 we won't judge. You do what you gotta do. It 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:31.560 is what it is. All right, let's get the show 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.000 crack in front page news. What we're talking about, Well, 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.400 let's talk about student loan forgiveness. Now, Joe Biden has 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.800 rejected a fifteen fifty thousand dollars student loan forgiveness plan, 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.920 and we'll tell you about the backlash. All right. We'll 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.239 get into all that when we come back, and Erica, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.920 Alexander and Whitney daw will be joining us, so we'll 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:51.920 kick it with them as well. It's the breakfast Club. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:56.600 Good morning. Let's get in some front page news where 0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.920 we're starting you, Well, let's start with this student loan 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.160 forgiveness because I know that's something that's front and center 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.200 on a lot of people's minds if you've gone to college, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.920 if you have kids that have went to college, and 0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:09.200 now you have these student loans that are weighing on you. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.920 So during Joe Biden's town hall on Tuesday, he did 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:16.320 again address a student loan forgiveness and say that he's 0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.800 not willing to forgive fifty thousand dollars. Here's what he said. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.520 We need student loan forgiveness beyond the potential ten thousand dollars. 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:27.080 Your administration has a proposed we need at least a 0:05:27.200 --> 0:05:30.559 fifty thousand dollars minimum. I will not make that happen, 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.560 but everyone should be able to go to community college 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:37.000 for free. And I think any family making under one 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.960 hundred and twenty five thousand dollars whose kids go to 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.360 a state university they get into that should be free 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.840 as well. And the thing I do in terms of 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.280 student debt that's accumulated is provide for changing the existing 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:54.719 system now for debt forgiveness if you engage in volunteer activity. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.640 I agree. So I wonder why they just don't pay 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:01.800 a very the student loan there, Like I saw, the 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.279 biggest student loan debt in America is one point seven 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.599 trillion dollars, Like we watched them give damn near four 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.599 trillion dollars out last year. Those corporations get trillions of dollars. 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.400 The millionaires and billionaires who already got it get get 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.440 trillions of dollars when they need a bail out. Why 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.040 not take care of the student loan there? Why not 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:21.320 wipe that off? To wipe that off? Does it matter 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:23.680 if the person is making like a lot of money 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.040 or if their family has a lot of money, should 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.800 that be forgiven? Because that's another proposal that's come up. 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.880 If you make up to one hundred and twenty five 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.440 thousand dollars, then yes, but any if you make above that, 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.240 then I think it's proportionate. There's all kinds of different things, 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.320 but I think you've got to raise a board because 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.880 it depends where you live. Because if you make one 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:43.280 hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in New York, you're 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.320 still not doing that well because everything in New York 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.839 and the prices of rent and everything is so expensive. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.560 Or if you make that in LA the price is expensive. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.400 But I think that they should if you make a 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.520 certain amount, maybe one seventy five for both family members. 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:57.640 I think that they should take care of your your 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:03.719 college absolutely past. I was gonna say that black class 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.880 comes from this. Alexandria Kazio Cortes said, who cares what 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:10.080 school someone went to. Entire generations of working class kids 0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:12.080 were encouraged to go into more debt under the guise 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.600 of elitism. That is wrong. Nowhere does it say we 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.600 must trade off early childhood education for student loan forgiveness. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.520 We can have both. Yeah, I don't see why everybody 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.600 can't get paid off, because, like I said, you got 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:28.720 these corporations, these millionaires, these billionaires who receive trillion dollar bailouts, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.840 and they got it. That true. Do same for the 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.440 kids one point seven training and student loan debt. Wipe 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:36.680 that off for these kids. Give them a head start 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.240 in life. Don't let them start in debt. Here's what 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.640 else Joe Biden have to say. I do think that 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:47.280 in this moment of economic pain and strain, that we 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:51.600 should be eliminating interest on the debts that are accumulated. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.480 Number one and number two, I'm prepared to right off 0:07:55.800 --> 0:08:01.400 the ten thousand dollars debt, but not fifty with ten 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.480 thousand dollars help, I'm sure, it would help, right, it 0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:08.640 would help. But when kids like hundred twenty five thousand 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:10.280 a year and it's one hundred thousand dollars, that ten 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.560 thous you still ninety thousand, you know, like you said, 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.040 they make they find all this other money for everything else. 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.000 They find this money to bail out people, to help 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.200 the airplane the airline industry. Yeah, help these kids out 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:23.320 as well. I just remember how crippling student loans were 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.440 for me, knowing that when I first graduated, having to 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.840 pay those and get a job and pay my bills 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.320 in you know, have to pay for eating every day 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.760 to stretch everything. Then I had to keep getting the ferments. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.640 Just just just just wipe it off with the kids. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.960 And if he's saying that community college should be free, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.360 what she's saying, If you're already saying that should happen, 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.200 then everybody that went to community college at least they 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.839 should get their student loans wiped off, right, since you're 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.240 already gonna make it free anyway. I look at that. 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:50.079 It's the same way with the criminalizing marijuana. Once you 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.920 decriminalize marijuana, or if you want to decriminalize marijuana, you 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.800 gotta let everybody out of jail. Who's in there for 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.839 non violent? Uh drug offenses? We defenses? All right, well 0:08:59.880 --> 0:09:02.280 that is your front page news. All right, thank you, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:04.760 miss ye. Get it off your chest eight hundred five 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:06.439 eighty five one oh five one.

People are without water, people are without power, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.959 and then when they have water, the water gets off 0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.440 because it's the pipes are frozen and then they burst. 0:09:58.840 --> 0:10:01.760 It is eighty less here and I just saw pictures 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.839 that tad cruise.

I've seen 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.360 frozen ceiling fans, but icicles coming off of it, coming 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:51.040 down toilets that are overflowed. It's it's icicles everywhere. And 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.679 then we're having a board water. People are putting snow 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.480 in their tubs just so they can have water. The 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:59.760 woods is out, you know, people bought up all the woods. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.920 People were outside chopping down trees like it's bad. And 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:05.400 I know y'all don't maybe see that on the news, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.240 but it is very very bad. And of course there's 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.959 a neighborhood called Highland. Parks lives in that neighborhood and 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:15.679 all that, and they have not lost a lip of 0:11:15.760 --> 0:11:18.800 power because you're turning it off, right, they're trying to 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:21.319 do like a rolling power, and they're turning off power 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.720 so they can. I don't know what they're doing, that's 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.120 what they said. And then those rolling we're supposed to 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.959 be only like forty five million intervals or whatever. But 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:32.880 some people have been without for hours, thirty six hours, 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.240 forty eight hours. Some people have been out for two 0:11:35.360 --> 0:11:40.160 Sunday and on the hotel they're gouging prices at the hotel, 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.360 and then some hotels they don't have power either. It 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.360 is absolutely horrible. And you can't get out and go 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.280 to Grandma's patch or onto house because the roads are 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:54.000 slick with ice. So do you when when the last 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:56.680 time y'all had went to storm like this in Texas 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:00.719 seventy thirty six years or some like that, Like, it's 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.920 been a long long time, and right now six hundred 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.160 and seventy five thousand people are still without power.

So 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:49.520 even if you don't have over fifty thousand dollars a 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.920 student loan debt or ten thousand dollars and a public 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.480 school school that they're not covering that either. So we 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.720 need to bring that up as well. I don't even 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.160 know what that is. What's private student loan that? Well, 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.040 when you go to a private so when you get 0:15:02.160 --> 0:15:05.960 a private lender. They're not covering that, okay, right, they 0:15:06.000 --> 0:15:08.680 only kept the covering about Sally Bay, right, Yeah, they're 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.320 not doing Nauvian.

Now, we got 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:09.880 rumors on the way, yes, and we had reported earlier 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.760 and gave given our condolences to Nicki Minaj and her 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:15.800 family after her father was killed in a hitt and run. Well, 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.720 now the driver has surrender to the cops. All right, 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.400 we'll get into that next. Keep a lock. That's to 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:27.880 Breakfast Club. Good morning the Breakfast Club. This is the 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:39.400 rumor report with Angela years Well, the driver who was 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:42.520 wanted for hitting Nicki Minaj's father with a car and 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:45.240 a hitt and run has turned himself in. As you know, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.440 Nicki Minaj's father passed away. Again, condolences to Niki and 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:53.880 her family. But police did arrest seventy year old Charles Polovich. Damn. 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:58.320 That's sac He's older than Nikki's father. He's been arraigned 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:00.520 in charge with two felonies, leaving the scene of an 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.040 incident involving death of a person and tampering with or 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:07.919 suppressing physical evidenced. He wouldn't have got charged at all 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:15.240 if an accident. Ye, dam According to reports, he exited 0:17:15.280 --> 0:17:19.240 his vehicle stood over Nicki Minaj's dad. Robert Mirage asked 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.600 if he was okay, walked and returned to his vehicle 0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.600 and then fled the scene. I mean, what was the 0:17:24.720 --> 0:17:27.000 response when he asked her asked him, was he okay? 0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:29.600 Why would you just leave the scene like that? Condolences 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.000 go to Nikki's family. And I'm sure that you know 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.760 that seventy year old man conscious was eating him alive. 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:37.600 That's why he probably turned himself in. But it's just 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:40.959 a tragic situation all the way around, right, And then 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:42.680 they said, and this is how you know he knew 0:17:42.720 --> 0:17:47.640 he did something crazy. He actually drove home, avoiding intersections 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.960 and he hit his vehicle in the detached garage at 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:53.359 his residence. Absolutely, because I'm sure when he asked, you know, 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:56.719 Nicki's father, was he okay? Probably was no response. All 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:58.879 he could look and see visibly that you know that 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.040 brother wasn't okay. But he should have. I mean, but 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.480 if you'd have called the police, it might have saved 0:18:03.520 --> 0:18:05.879 his life, you know. I mean, even if they will absolutely, 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.760 you know, resuscitate him or whatever, but they definitely should 0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:11.399 have called the police. Might have saved that man. Nobody 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.639 wants to deal with the consequences of their actions. Sometimes 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:15.760 I'll be thinking it's just a young thing, but clearly 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:20.480 it's not like damn all right. Now, Quevo has a 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.280 new show coming to YouTube this summer, and this is 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:26.400 with content that's being rolled out from the YouTube. Black 0:18:26.520 --> 0:18:29.800 Voice is fund and so he'll be going to local 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:32.800 basketball courts around the country and linking up with NBA 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:34.920 stars who live in the area and teaching viewers about 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.160 the role that basketball courts play in the local community 0:18:38.200 --> 0:18:41.680 at large and also important historical moments. It's called Supreme 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.920 Courts and it's his own idea. By the way, it 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:48.760 was his brain child. That's dope. You know. You know 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:53.560 he loves basketball so m and by the way, Culture 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.640 three will be out soon, FYI. They had already announced 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:59.000 that now the guerrilla glue girl, Tessica Brown, her go 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:01.560 fund me is under investigation, so she can't take out 0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:04.160 any of the money. She ended up getting twenty three 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.600 thousand dollars in that go fund me. She said they 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:09.200 won't release it to her because many people have called 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.960 and said it was a fraudulent account. Every time you 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:13.440 look at it, it says it's under investigation. So I 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.480 guess people are not believing her or I don't know 0:19:16.600 --> 0:19:18.879 what's going on. But she can't get that money that 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.280 was in that go fund me, So would you say 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:27.680 her goalfund me is a sticky situation right now? Well, 0:19:27.760 --> 0:19:31.879 she wanted to actually donate to the doctor who helped 0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:33.879 her hair and helped her get the guerrilla glue out. 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.639 She wanted to donate twenty thousand to his charity, and 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:38.400 that was what she was planning to do with the money. 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:39.840 And she said the rest of the cash she wants 0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:41.879 to use for families in her parish which she personally 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.200 knows have been struggling. She wants people to know it 0:19:44.320 --> 0:19:48.320 was not a social media's done as some believe. A 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:50.879 right man, there's a quote. The quote is clever is 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:53.320 getting out of a sticky situation? Wise is not getting 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.399 into a sticky situation. Sounds like this whole situation is 0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.159 sticky with Jessica Brown all the way around. It's interesting 0:19:59.240 --> 0:20:02.400 that there were so many I be cats after stupid people. 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:07.120 All right. Rowdy Rebel says Bobby Schmirder will be out 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.040 in less than a week, So we hope this is 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:12.800 not another false alarm. But they are saying he wrote 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:15.680 on Instagram six days yesterday, so hopefully that means he'll 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.080 be coming home, like for real, in a few days. Yeah. 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.320 I thought his mother said February too, So I'm hoping 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:22.720 he is coming home in the next couple of days. 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.720 That'll be dope. Yeah, I'd be feeling bad. Not bad, 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:27.879 but I get like anxiety when I see you know, 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.360 people post stuff like that because you know a brother 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.399 like Bobby's murder. He'll be home in six days. He's 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:33.680 gonna come home to a lot of love and a 0:20:33.720 --> 0:20:35.920 lot of fan fair. You got haters in jail. You 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:38.480 got people that be jealous and intervious in jail, you know, 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:40.720 and try to disrupt something just because they know that 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.280 brother coming home. So I'll be wondering sometimes if it's 0:20:43.320 --> 0:20:47.119 even good to put that out there.

It is five am. 0:21:12.200 --> 0:21:14.679 I left the studio like three thirty and I'm here 0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:18.720 with y'a awesome lady's like you're on the way.

But 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.920 NBA players are very hesitant to promote these vaccines. And 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:49.280 we'll give you some more information. All right, we'll get 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:51.600 into that next. Keeping locked this to Breakfast Club.

The General has 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:04.159 been giving their customers excellent customer service for over fifty 0:22:04.240 --> 0:22:07.080 five years.

Everybody is DJ Envy Angela. Ye, 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:26.840 Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. Let's get 0:22:26.880 --> 0:22:31.359 in some front page news. No, my tennis fans. Naomi 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:36.560 Osaka beat Serena in Australian Open semifinals yesterday. So Naomi 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:41.119 Osaka beat Serena. Also, I would saying the equivalent of that, 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.200 I was telling dramas this early. The equivalent of that 0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:45.720 is like if Patrick Mahomes had beat Tom Brady in 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:50.159 the Super Bowl. Correct, absolutely, yeah, Well US Open is 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.720 considered I guess I think the super Bowl of everything. 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:55.639 But yes, similar to that. And also you see that 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:59.119 they imploded Trump Tower out in Atlantic City. Yeah, so 0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:03.280 everybody gathered around applauding the shout to the mayor, Marty Smalls. 0:23:03.280 --> 0:23:04.760 He wanted us to come broadcast out there. He was like, 0:23:04.760 --> 0:23:06.880 why don't y'all come broadcasts out there? I was like, nah, 0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.800 I'm good days, stay with that. I'm pretty good. All right? 0:23:09.840 --> 0:23:12.760 What else we're talking about? Easy all Russia. Limbad died. 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.320 He was seventy years old. He announced that he was 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:18.040 battling advanced lung cancer about a year ago, and things 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.560 took a turn for the worst recently. He missed some 0:23:20.640 --> 0:23:23.280 shows and His wife Katherine, announced the news on his 0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:27.200 radio show yesterday morning. Yeah, I saw that seventy years 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.240 old died of lung cancer. That's I don't I don't 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:31.000 want to go out that way, and I don't want 0:23:31.040 --> 0:23:32.960 nobody that I love to go out that way. I 0:23:33.000 --> 0:23:36.399 saw people celebrating the fact that he passed away yesterday, 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:38.359 and I didn't understand that because I just don't want 0:23:38.400 --> 0:23:40.400 that kind of energy back on me. Seven y years 0:23:40.440 --> 0:23:43.760 old died of lung cancer. Nah, no, way, I don't 0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:46.159 want that. Yeah. I didn see too. My sympathy from 0:23:46.200 --> 0:23:48.760 our community when it came to Russia limbad, which is 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:50.600 which is great. It's not even to me. It's not 0:23:50.640 --> 0:23:52.760 even about Russia. It's just about the situation. Sometimes you 0:23:52.800 --> 0:23:54.520 got to look at somebody and say, what I want 0:23:54.560 --> 0:23:56.560 that to happen to me? Would I want that to 0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:00.119 happen to somebody I love? That's like no, because I can, 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:01.640 by the way, that can happen. To stay quiet. That's 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:07.360 one of those situations. Say anything business that could happen 0:24:07.400 --> 0:24:09.320 to you. You can get lung cancer, your mom can 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:11.520 get lung cancer, your dad, people close to you, people 0:24:11.560 --> 0:24:15.159 that you love. Is just like no, absolutely not you know, 0:24:15.240 --> 0:24:19.200 but sometimes when you do certain things and then you know, yeah, 0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.480 I do be thinking about that, Like when you die, 0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:25.040 you want to leave a positive mark on the world. Well, 0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:26.560 if you heard, if you heard a community, and you 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:28.720 heard somebody, and somebody is affected by your words. Like 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:31.800 you said, for every action is a reaction. It is 0:24:31.840 --> 0:24:35.480 what it is. That's not a right people are reacting to. 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:39.879 How do you feel? You know what I mean. All 0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:41.560 I'm saying is lung cancer. It's something that's out of 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:43.840 all of our control, which is true. That's what I'm saying, 0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:47.680 all right. A lot of top NBA players are hesitant 0:24:47.760 --> 0:24:51.080 to promote coronavirus vaccines. They've been trying to get them, 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.080 you know, because it's not a lot of trust when 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:55.800 it comes to vaccines in the United States, and the 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:59.080 NBA has reached out to the agents of many of 0:24:59.119 --> 0:25:01.119 the league's elite play they wanted to try to get 0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:03.800 some PSA is going to promote the safety and effective 0:25:03.960 --> 0:25:07.240 effectiveness of the vaccine, but not too many players are 0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:09.720 excited about being on the front lines of telling people 0:25:09.760 --> 0:25:13.119 to go get vaccinated, and sources are saying there's a 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:16.639 number of factors that contribute to many players reluctance to participate, 0:25:17.040 --> 0:25:19.800 which includes some of them don't want to take it themselves. 0:25:19.840 --> 0:25:22.600 They're not too certain about that, they don't want to 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:25.400 advocate its use for others, and also they don't want 0:25:25.400 --> 0:25:28.639 to extend favors to a league amidst the largely unpopular 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:33.800 plans for All Star. For all of them distrust, they 0:25:33.840 --> 0:25:37.280 act like the distrust is not warranted. It's absolutely warranted. 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:41.680 Like the medical system in this country has been historically racist. 0:25:41.840 --> 0:25:44.159 We have every reason not to trust this country when 0:25:44.160 --> 0:25:46.080 it comes to the vaccine. And like I've always said, 0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:50.000 they have not put any remedies for any other virus. 0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:53.640 And in the Black community, whether it's been poverty, poor schools, 0:25:53.720 --> 0:25:56.920 police brutality, you know, they don't. They don't care about 0:25:56.960 --> 0:25:58.600 us any other time. But now all of a sudden, 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:00.720 it's like, hey, y'all need to get this vaccine first. Like, 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.480 but I would say they're not just giving it to 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:06.360 the Black community. They're given to everybody, doctors, healthcare workers, teaches, 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:09.680 making everybody just very true, but it's not like there's 0:26:09.720 --> 0:26:11.720 not a real push for they're getting in the black community, 0:26:11.760 --> 0:26:16.600 like running running commercials on black radio. Tyler Perry got 0:26:16.720 --> 0:26:18.600 b teach specials about it, like they're really making a 0:26:18.680 --> 0:26:20.760 real push a right. They've asked me to be on 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.640 coronavirus vaccine task forces to try to get black people 0:26:24.640 --> 0:26:27.400 to take it the same thing I just said, Yeah, 0:26:27.480 --> 0:26:29.080 me too. But it's also a lot of black people 0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:31.639 have underlying conditions, and we have diabetes, we have other 0:26:31.720 --> 0:26:37.000 things that that affect us and having COVID. Very facts 0:26:37.000 --> 0:26:39.440 such a small percentage of black people aren't getting the 0:26:39.560 --> 0:26:43.440 vaccine that is gonna if it's a you know, being 0:26:43.520 --> 0:26:45.960 that it's effective, which is what we are hoping, that 0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:48.160 is going to be a disadvantage for us. Yet again, 0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.679 all that is true, but my point stands the trust, 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.600 the distrust is warranted. We have every reason not to 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:58.760 trust this country when it comes to that vaccine, because 0:26:58.800 --> 0:27:00.760 it's even worse if none of us get vaccinated and 0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:02.800 then that we can't move around, we can't do anything, 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:06.119 and then we're the only ones getting sick. Kamala Harris 0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:09.680 not our fault. We don't trust him. President Kamala Harris 0:27:09.760 --> 0:27:12.280 has stressed that teachers should be given priority for getting 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:16.480 COVID nineteen vaccinations, and she wouldn't say if she thinks 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:19.679 that's what should be the prerequisite for reopening schools. Teachers 0:27:19.680 --> 0:27:22.320 should be a priority along with other frontline workers, and 0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:24.600 we're going to make them a priority. I believe that 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:30.879 twenty two states, I believe have prioritized, but they're not vaccinated. 0:27:31.280 --> 0:27:33.359 Is it safe for them? Well, I think that we 0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:36.119 have to decide if we can put in place safe measures. 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:39.480 This is why, and it's so important we pass the 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:43.240 American Rescue Plan. The American Rescue Plan is a plan 0:27:43.400 --> 0:27:48.040 that is about getting our schools back open. Right, Doctor 0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:52.280 Fauci is thing. Doctor Fauci was very clear he doesn't 0:27:52.320 --> 0:27:55.240 think it should be a requirement for every teacher to 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.800 reopen schools. Listen to this. I think if you were 0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:00.960 going to say that every single teacher needs to be 0:28:01.080 --> 0:28:05.280 vaccinated before you get back to school, I believe, quite 0:28:05.320 --> 0:28:08.600 frankly Tony, that that's a non workable situation. I think 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:13.240 teachers should absolutely be priority among those who we consider 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:16.920 essential personnel. But you don't want to essentially have nobody 0:28:16.960 --> 0:28:20.879 in school until all the teachers get vaccinated. I mean 0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:25.679 that makes sense, right, I don't know. I mean, well, 0:28:25.760 --> 0:28:27.600 teachers I think should be vaccinated, you know, I mean 0:28:27.640 --> 0:28:30.159 because you have all these students. They and these students 0:28:30.240 --> 0:28:31.399 come in and a teacher could have it, and the 0:28:31.440 --> 0:28:33.119 students bring it back home to their parents, and their 0:28:33.119 --> 0:28:35.320 parents bring it to their grandparents. So yeah, I think 0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:39.200 teachers absolutely should have to have to be vaccinated to 0:28:39.280 --> 0:28:42.000 teach in school. I agree. Maybe I heard doctor, Maybe 0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:43.480 I heard doctor FID, youre wrong. I thought that's what 0:28:43.560 --> 0:28:46.400 he said. I agree. I think teachers should be vaccinated 0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:49.440 because you know, they say that. I guess younger students 0:28:49.520 --> 0:28:51.720 can't you know, get it, but they still it pass 0:28:51.760 --> 0:28:53.280 it to the teachers. But I'm like, yo, let the 0:28:53.320 --> 0:28:58.680 teachers get vaccinated. Teachers right, usually won't have as bad symptoms. 0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:01.040 I actually spoke to it professor the other day who 0:29:01.080 --> 0:29:03.760 got COVID from one of her students in the classroom 0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:07.480 and then they shut the whole school down. All right, Well, 0:29:08.640 --> 0:29:12.280 why aren't teachers considered essential workers? Shouldn't they be? Some places? 0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:14.680 I think that they're doing it. In certain places they are, 0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:17.360 And so some states are saying that, yes, they are 0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:21.960 frontline workers, and some aren't. So states are making decisions 0:29:22.000 --> 0:29:25.080 individually about who will be on the list that gets 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:29.720 vaccinated first. All right, and that is your front Page News. 0:29:30.040 --> 0:29:32.280 All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when we come back, 0:29:32.440 --> 0:29:35.840 we have Erica Alexander join us in Whitney. Now. They 0:29:35.920 --> 0:29:38.640 have a podcast with the name of the podcast well 0:29:38.680 --> 0:29:41.880 you know it's yeah, it's Black History Muff and Black 0:29:41.960 --> 0:29:44.120 History Muff is all about teaching and learning, you know, 0:29:44.240 --> 0:29:46.760 all things black and one conversation that's been happening for 0:29:46.840 --> 0:29:49.760 a long time in this country in the black community 0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:52.280 as reparations and Yes. The podcast is called The Big 0:29:52.360 --> 0:29:56.320 Payback and launches today on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network, 0:29:56.360 --> 0:29:58.560 and it's brought to you by Color Farm Media, hosted 0:29:58.600 --> 0:30:02.320 by Erica Alexander in Whitney Now. So they were joining 0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.320 us next, so we're kicking with the next and don't move. 0:30:04.360 --> 0:30:11.720 It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. 0:30:11.800 --> 0:30:15.720 Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we 0:30:15.840 --> 0:30:17.840 are the Breakfast Club. He got some special guests on 0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.880 the line. We have Erica Alexander, who's been here several 0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:24.560 times as welcome back system, and we also have Whitney Now, 0:30:24.840 --> 0:30:28.240 Good morning, sir, at you having me? What's up Whitney, 0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.880 what's up Queen Erica. They're here to talk about reparations 0:30:32.000 --> 0:30:36.280 now were never the big payback podcasts? Yes? How about that? 0:30:36.560 --> 0:30:38.800 How about that? It's time has come? As time has come, 0:30:39.080 --> 0:30:40.840 and we're happy to do it. Actually, it's been a 0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:44.240 really good conversation but also a great education not only 0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:46.880 into the history of America but also the history of 0:30:47.200 --> 0:30:51.760 African Americans in America and the all the injustices from slavery. 0:30:51.840 --> 0:30:56.480 It's it's actually overwhelming. You can hear people saying, what 0:30:56.720 --> 0:30:59.800 makes you and Whitney qualified to discuss reparation? And how 0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:02.720 did you get this podcast started? Oh? Sure, okay, we'll 0:31:02.760 --> 0:31:07.240 do both. I'll answer the second one. Indeed, we were 0:31:07.280 --> 0:31:10.840 working on a documentary and it was about reparations, and 0:31:11.760 --> 0:31:14.400 obviously you start to get some of the stars of 0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:16.680 reparation to people that have been pioneers and people that 0:31:16.800 --> 0:31:20.320 are in it and really qualified experts. And then something 0:31:20.400 --> 0:31:24.600 extraordinary happened. There was an older woman in Evanston, Illinois. 0:31:24.680 --> 0:31:27.080 Her name is Robin Ruth Simmons, and she passed the 0:31:27.160 --> 0:31:31.240 first reparations bill in American history in the four hundred 0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:33.920 year meaning last year twenty nineteen, or I guess the 0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:37.680 year before last, and did something that no one had 0:31:37.720 --> 0:31:40.080 ever done. So they called her the Rosa Parks of Reparations, 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:43.400 and we started following her. We'd already been starting starting 0:31:43.440 --> 0:31:46.680 to follow HR forty and it's sort of turgid moved 0:31:46.760 --> 0:31:49.880 through Congress with Sheila Jackson Lee as she inherited it 0:31:50.000 --> 0:31:54.000 from John Conyers. But why am I qualified? I'm black, 0:31:54.080 --> 0:31:57.120 I'm African America. I didn't get qualified me to say 0:31:57.120 --> 0:32:00.080 a little bit about reparations because I think i'm it. 0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.120 And the other thing is that I think I'm a 0:32:02.760 --> 0:32:05.239 person who's curious enough to know that this is an 0:32:05.240 --> 0:32:07.960 important issue, and I wanted to look at it from 0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:12.000 a greater point of view, and the black effects said, yeah, 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:14.719 we'll do it. So there you go. And why are 0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:16.600 you well, you know, first of all, I'm white, so 0:32:16.680 --> 0:32:18.520 I guess I'm off by to pay it right. So 0:32:18.640 --> 0:32:24.280 that's the first. The second thing, I've been making films 0:32:24.280 --> 0:32:27.640 about racing difference, always with a cross race with partners, 0:32:27.840 --> 0:32:30.560 and the more I started like making films and projects 0:32:30.600 --> 0:32:32.520 about it, I always felt like there was this big 0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:35.320 conversation left that or like, what is white people's role 0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:36.520 in it? I know it's changed a lot in the 0:32:36.600 --> 0:32:39.920 last few years, and so as I started digging into it, 0:32:40.080 --> 0:32:42.800 and started really digging into all the all the different 0:32:42.880 --> 0:32:46.000 ways that races impacting the country. I really come to 0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:50.000 the point where just believe that a the racial division 0:32:50.080 --> 0:32:52.680 in this country is the thing that's driving all the divisions, 0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.040 and the fact that we've never had a reconciliation this 0:32:55.160 --> 0:32:58.520 country is driving all the divisions, economic divisions, political dilivisions, 0:32:58.640 --> 0:33:01.840 social divisions, and that until we deal with that, we're 0:33:01.880 --> 0:33:03.920 not able to deal with anything. Now do you guys 0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:07.080 think we'll ever see reparations in our lifetime? Honestly? You 0:33:07.200 --> 0:33:09.640 know what, here's the problem. For thirty years, they've been 0:33:09.640 --> 0:33:12.480 trying to have a discussion about reparations, not trying to 0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:15.080 give it to us. That what HR forty is. It's 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:18.320 named after famously, the forty acres in the Mule, but 0:33:18.520 --> 0:33:21.760 it's the House of Representation has this bill in front 0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:24.600 of them and they can't even bring it in to 0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:28.440 discuss it. And this is among people who a lot 0:33:28.480 --> 0:33:30.440 of them want it. So I don't know if we're 0:33:30.480 --> 0:33:33.200 going to actually get reparations. There's in pockets. But I 0:33:33.320 --> 0:33:36.400 think that Robert ru Simmons might have something of a 0:33:36.520 --> 0:33:39.280 blueprint because people are starting to talk about it locally, 0:33:39.360 --> 0:33:41.600 so maybe that's the way it comes in. Can we 0:33:41.720 --> 0:33:44.600 talk about that blueprint? Because when you hear reparations, everyone 0:33:44.680 --> 0:33:47.280 has a different opinion on what reparations actually looks like. 0:33:47.480 --> 0:33:49.760 And I know you guys are exploring that on the podcast, 0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:52.840 but from your own personal opinions, what do you think 0:33:52.960 --> 0:33:57.040 is the best way that reparations should happen? Money I'm 0:33:57.040 --> 0:34:01.680 just cash is kiding, but that's me think, yeah, check exactly. 0:34:02.000 --> 0:34:04.640 But you know, by the way, that's that's the conversation 0:34:04.720 --> 0:34:08.000 of why the conversation or discussing it, or the analysis 0:34:08.040 --> 0:34:10.880 and the diagnosis of it is so important because a 0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:13.719 lot of people think that it's just about a check, 0:34:13.920 --> 0:34:15.920 or it's only about a check or you know, and 0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:19.320 that's so crude, it's kind of grotesque. The problem is 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:22.520 there's a pain and suffering of all these people. Millions 0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:27.640 and millions of Africans die, and we weren't we denied citizenship, 0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:30.719 We were denied all sorts of restitutions. They did experimentation 0:34:30.800 --> 0:34:35.520 on a Tuskegee mass incarceration. These are all plagues among us. 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:38.279 So should it just be a check note? Should it 0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:40.280 be a check? I absolutely we should leave. It should 0:34:40.280 --> 0:34:43.320 because I think that money is power. No, Y, you 0:34:43.440 --> 0:34:45.680 talk a lot about real estate, you talk about ownership 0:34:46.000 --> 0:34:48.040 and part of owning it, I think for white people 0:34:48.040 --> 0:34:51.240 who is paying and having, you know, an outright payment 0:34:51.320 --> 0:34:53.759 for it. But there's programs, there's all sorts of things 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:58.680 that you come into play. There's the mental and health conversation. 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:01.759 There's so many things that are involved that it's going 0:35:01.840 --> 0:35:04.239 to take I think, a mask or the program and 0:35:04.800 --> 0:35:07.279 really the real experts to come and do it. But 0:35:07.400 --> 0:35:08.920 I do think that money should be a part of 0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:11.399 it because I think that that's how Americans and most 0:35:11.440 --> 0:35:14.680 people human beings, wigh value. I'm afraid to give people 0:35:14.800 --> 0:35:17.120 just money though, because if you give people just money 0:35:17.520 --> 0:35:21.640 with no financial competency, no financial literacy, he's gonna get 0:35:21.640 --> 0:35:24.400 it right back to the white man. Yeah, call somebody 0:35:24.440 --> 0:35:27.919 called killer Mike. You're trying to you're trying to teach 0:35:28.000 --> 0:35:31.040 us how to spit in our well. You know, Whitney. 0:35:31.080 --> 0:35:32.759 Do you think that you're gonna get it right back? 0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:37.239 I'm hoping no. All right, now, you're gonna take then 0:35:37.280 --> 0:35:41.160 out of your name, calling you whitey down. I got 0:35:44.800 --> 0:35:48.360 one something that you asked you, Is it just money, 0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.040 and I think, actually, I mean because I you know, 0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:52.200 I taught eric and I have this you know, I'm 0:35:52.280 --> 0:35:54.600 here to save white people too, because I feel that, 0:35:54.760 --> 0:35:58.080 like it's not just about the money. But I acciltally 0:35:58.160 --> 0:36:01.520 like that's like the baseline onsibility. I think one when 0:36:01.560 --> 0:36:02.960 you ask me, is it going to happen? One of 0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.759 the big things that has to happen. One reason why 0:36:06.160 --> 0:36:09.080 why repreation hasn't happened. It's forced. It's going to force 0:36:09.200 --> 0:36:12.400 white Americans to reimagine their own story. And that's the 0:36:12.480 --> 0:36:16.240 existential threat to get white people to say, accept their history, 0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:20.000 accept their legacy of being part of this white supremacist structure. 0:36:20.360 --> 0:36:23.239 That's why people are storming the capital, not because that 0:36:23.400 --> 0:36:26.240 they're thinking that they think that somehow the election was stolen, 0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:30.040 but they're being told that, hey, the bills come due. 0:36:30.400 --> 0:36:33.160 This is the reality of the world and it's an 0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.160 end for you know someone I did this project called 0:36:35.160 --> 0:36:37.480 the Whiteness Project, where I talked to three hundred white 0:36:37.520 --> 0:36:40.440 people out being white. It's an existential threat, Like to 0:36:40.520 --> 0:36:43.160 accept that means I'm not who I think I am. 0:36:43.280 --> 0:36:45.760 All Right, we got more with Erica Alexander and Whitney 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.239 down from the Big Payback podcast and don't Move It's 0:36:48.239 --> 0:36:52.520 to Breakfast Club go moaning moaning. Everybody is DJ Envy 0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:55.480 Angela Yee. Charlomagne the guy we are to Breakfast Club 0:36:55.520 --> 0:36:57.839 was still kicking in with Erica, Alexander and Whitney down 0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:01.360 from the Big Payback podcast. Chellamone. One thing that intrigues 0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:05.680 me about this this podcast A Big Payback is Whitney's perspectives. 0:37:05.680 --> 0:37:07.640 So I want to hear from both of y'all. You know, Erica, 0:37:07.719 --> 0:37:10.280 you start, why was it important to include the perspective 0:37:10.320 --> 0:37:13.480 of a white male in this conversation because it's their 0:37:13.560 --> 0:37:16.040 death and it may not be the death that they say, 0:37:16.080 --> 0:37:19.000 Oh I know. So if this is the conversation and 0:37:19.320 --> 0:37:22.040 that most people say are they say, I wasn't there. 0:37:22.440 --> 0:37:24.760 My ancestors did it, but I wasn't there. Why should 0:37:24.760 --> 0:37:27.480 I paid? And said, well, you know, you can't say 0:37:27.560 --> 0:37:31.279 that to the victims of Hiroshima, that you know, they're 0:37:31.320 --> 0:37:34.600 deformed babies that come out years and years and years 0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:37.439 after that bomb was dropped and the original victims are dead, 0:37:37.719 --> 0:37:42.080 that they're not ongoing disfigurements. And so to me, the 0:37:42.200 --> 0:37:47.000 disfigured position of African Americans is because of the historical 0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:51.440 precedent of race and slavery in America. So you talk 0:37:51.440 --> 0:37:55.080 about redlining, you talk about loans and how it's not 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.440 only difficult to get a decent loan, but also the 0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:01.080 discrimination and the prejudice behind it. Talk about the women 0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:03.680 that go missing all the time and nobody looks to them. 0:38:03.719 --> 0:38:06.600 They will launch a huge thing for for white women, 0:38:06.640 --> 0:38:09.480 but not for Black people and black women. It goes 0:38:09.600 --> 0:38:11.680 on and on and on, how many disparities that we 0:38:11.760 --> 0:38:15.480 are vulnerable too. So it's white people's debt, they should 0:38:15.480 --> 0:38:17.520 pay it, but it's America's debt. They don't have to 0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.440 worry about paying. Let the federal government pay it, because 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.000 that's their debt. They're the ones who paid it to 0:38:23.080 --> 0:38:25.560 the Japanese. They're the ones who started it. Now they 0:38:25.600 --> 0:38:29.080 don't officially call reparations to the Native Americans. Millions of 0:38:29.440 --> 0:38:33.680 acres of land, billions of dollars. It's their debt and 0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:36.440 it's our debt as Americans to make sure that African 0:38:36.440 --> 0:38:42.719 American descendants are considered and more properly. This huge apology 0:38:43.000 --> 0:38:46.840 has to do with an acknowledgement that they've done something 0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:50.120 to a specific population in America. But who apologize you? 0:38:50.719 --> 0:38:53.400 Is it their president? Is it you know, who do 0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:57.640 we get this apology from? Which had a couple go ahead, 0:38:57.640 --> 0:38:59.719 but there's already been an apology, right, And I think 0:38:59.880 --> 0:39:01.919 the sen and voted for apology, but they said, let's 0:39:01.960 --> 0:39:05.399 just be clear, this apology can't be used for reparations. 0:39:05.480 --> 0:39:07.719 I mean, there's like what you know, it wasn't a 0:39:08.120 --> 0:39:10.200 true apology. But I do think it's the federal government 0:39:10.280 --> 0:39:13.279 created the system. The federal government created all great the 0:39:13.360 --> 0:39:16.400 structures to like impress black people. It's a federal government 0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:19.680 responsibility to make that better. But I want to answer 0:39:19.760 --> 0:39:22.479 something that you said, you know, Charlie, about why white 0:39:22.520 --> 0:39:25.600 people and it's like it is our death, and it's 0:39:25.640 --> 0:39:28.600 like it's our responsibility to clean it up. It's like 0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:30.719 when your kids mess up that makes it up, you 0:39:30.840 --> 0:39:32.680 make them clean it up. And I really feel that 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:38.040 it's that until white people acknowledge that they can't really behold, 0:39:38.040 --> 0:39:40.200 they can't be full Americans, they can't be part of 0:39:40.280 --> 0:39:43.040 this community. So what I really hope that this worked, 0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.439 but this podcast does, and is that I have few 0:39:46.640 --> 0:39:50.319 my role, my job. There's lots of black voices out there, 0:39:50.440 --> 0:39:52.600 But I want to create white ears who can hear them, 0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:55.040 and I feel like sometimes I can be the interpreter. 0:39:55.480 --> 0:39:57.399 Is that you know how it is like white people 0:39:57.440 --> 0:39:59.719 and black people speak, they don't hear them, They don't 0:39:59.760 --> 0:40:01.479 want to hear them, and so they pretend they can't 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:04.359 hear them. But you know, someone like me perhaps can 0:40:04.640 --> 0:40:07.480 be the interpreter and allow them to come to the project, 0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:10.120 like let's come to the podcast with open minds and 0:40:10.160 --> 0:40:12.840 hear it differently than if we're just rat How do 0:40:12.880 --> 0:40:16.080 you determine who gets reparations? Because I see that argument 0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:18.920 also going on, and that's an interesting one for me. 0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:21.920 So who determines that? What if you know your mixed, 0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:25.080 like just so many different things about reparations, So how 0:40:25.120 --> 0:40:27.640 do you determine that? Well, I know I gets it, 0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.960 you know it, I gets it right now that that 0:40:32.160 --> 0:40:34.520 by the way, if you look at ATOS and some 0:40:34.680 --> 0:40:38.040 of the leaders in that movement, they believe that it 0:40:38.120 --> 0:40:42.879 should solely be descendants of African American slaves. Now it's 0:40:42.880 --> 0:40:45.000 hard to determine who that is right now, but I 0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:47.279 think it's pretty clear. You know, let me put it 0:40:47.320 --> 0:40:49.880 to you, like this Obama don't get it Okay, I 0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:52.359 don't think Kammaly gets it. You know, if you really 0:40:52.400 --> 0:40:54.319 start to look at where they come from, she might 0:40:54.400 --> 0:40:57.360 have to ask for restitution from Jamaica, baby go to 0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:01.160 you know, her mother's East Indian. Of obviously, Obama is 0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:05.080 from Kenya and his mother is Kenazine. But Michelle Obama 0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:08.080 gets it. Her children gets it because they have the 0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:11.080 blood of slaves running through them. From her side, I 0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.080 think that one of those things that we get hung 0:41:13.160 --> 0:41:14.840 up on is who gets it. But the truth is 0:41:15.280 --> 0:41:18.160 America gets it because what happens is when you eat, 0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:22.320 when you start to really compensate African Americans, and it 0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:25.880 goes into side of their community. It lifts all those people. 0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:30.120 Poor whites are in this conversation partly because of the 0:41:30.800 --> 0:41:34.759 historical damage done to African Americans. But you know, we 0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:38.200 shouldn't look at obviously, Angela yee, you're mixed, and you 0:41:38.280 --> 0:41:40.239 know somebody might look at Indians say look how light 0:41:40.280 --> 0:41:42.680 he is. He don't get it, but probably his lights him. 0:41:43.200 --> 0:41:54.560 Yeah yeah, oh really, Well, I don't know if you 0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:57.120 gets it, you might have to, you know, throw some dice. Brother. Look, 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:03.279 But I just believe that it's a conversation about that 0:42:03.520 --> 0:42:05.239 we got to find the people. But I think that 0:42:05.400 --> 0:42:07.279 overall we can figure out where to put that money 0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:10.960 in those programs Erica and Whitney. Can we achieve true 0:42:11.040 --> 0:42:14.839 equality in America without reparations with some form? I don't 0:42:14.880 --> 0:42:18.480 think so now. I mean it's because reparations is about 0:42:18.680 --> 0:42:21.279 it means repair right, repairs the relationship. And I don't 0:42:21.320 --> 0:42:23.719 think you can have true equality until you really, until 0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:27.000 you acknowledge you're wrong, you you repair that relationship. But 0:42:27.080 --> 0:42:28.840 then it's also the question, shan Man, is what is 0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:31.239 true equality? Sometimes I get to the point it's like 0:42:31.480 --> 0:42:34.200 do you actually need that? Do you mean? Do you 0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.040 just take it? You know what I'm saying, Like, what 0:42:36.239 --> 0:42:39.120 is what does that actually mean to to to achieve 0:42:39.160 --> 0:42:41.560 true equality? Does that mean that we're all color blinds? 0:42:41.560 --> 0:42:43.279 We have this? It's hard to understand the question. I 0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:45.520 work a lot of Haiti and there's always like Haiti 0:42:45.600 --> 0:42:51.080 gonna change? Is Haiti gonna change? Like change to what Jamaica? Bahamas? 0:42:51.120 --> 0:42:52.719 Like what do you think it's? What do you have 0:42:52.840 --> 0:42:54.680 you been to Haiti? Like what do you want it 0:42:54.719 --> 0:42:56.919 to be? In some ways it's a really cool place 0:42:57.080 --> 0:43:00.320 because it's not totally owned by the cruising Just Street 0:43:00.400 --> 0:43:02.840 and it's kind of this unique spot in the world. 0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:06.000 So you say that, so it's hard to know what 0:43:06.080 --> 0:43:09.359 actually true quality needs. Yeah, I always say I don't 0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:12.279 even know if we can ever achieve civil rights in 0:43:12.360 --> 0:43:15.120 this country because it's not civil rights that I think 0:43:15.160 --> 0:43:17.040 the problem is. I think it's human rights. They just 0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.680 don't look at black people is humans. How could we 0:43:19.719 --> 0:43:21.239 ever did with the civil aspect of it if we 0:43:21.239 --> 0:43:23.640 don't even deal with our regular human rights? True? You know, 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:27.080 Reverend Barbera calls this our market, this time period as 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:29.320 the third Reconstruction, So I think that means this is 0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:32.400 the time to rebuild American's foundation as it should have 0:43:32.480 --> 0:43:35.800 been built since reconstruction. And he knows that's not possible 0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:39.320 without looking at the moral monetary obligation as he calls it, 0:43:39.400 --> 0:43:41.319 towards the least of these. And he doesn't just stop 0:43:41.360 --> 0:43:44.600 at African Americans. He includes poor whites, he includes people 0:43:44.640 --> 0:43:47.840 of color. Includes this because of the continuation of Reverend 0:43:48.160 --> 0:43:51.240 doctor Martin Luther King's Poor People's Campaign, which talked about 0:43:51.400 --> 0:43:56.840 usion politics uniting marginalized communities. But that recipe includes the 0:43:56.920 --> 0:44:02.080 advancement and the implementation of reparation towards descendants of enslave Africans. 0:44:02.200 --> 0:44:04.479 I believe, like climate change. You're talking about climate change, 0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:06.720 it's an urgent call. We need to save the planet 0:44:06.760 --> 0:44:08.480 for human beings. But I believe this is our last 0:44:08.560 --> 0:44:12.719 chance to create America for all Americans, not just as 0:44:12.960 --> 0:44:15.360 it was meant to be meeting the Founder's minute, to 0:44:15.400 --> 0:44:18.160 be for white American men, but as it should be. 0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:21.279 Do you and Whitney bump heads on certain things, but 0:44:21.400 --> 0:44:24.200 we hear that on the podcast, you know, and it's 0:44:24.200 --> 0:44:27.160 about usually about emotion. I get emotional about things. I 0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:30.160 cry very easily because I realized that there's a lot 0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:33.480 of anger that I have suppressed. I'm frustrated. You know, 0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:35.680 so many people would ask me, have I am I 0:44:35.840 --> 0:44:37.719 the angry black woman? And I used to say no. 0:44:37.800 --> 0:44:40.040 I used to be offended, and I realized, I'm so 0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:42.760 freaking angry. I don't know what to do. I'm angry 0:44:43.520 --> 0:44:45.600 a lot of the times, and so it comes out 0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:48.120 in these conversations. I didn't understand what my mother was 0:44:48.120 --> 0:44:50.359 talking about. What she always talked about white people, white people. 0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.799 She was angry because she couldn't get past their barriers, 0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:58.879 and she was so deserved. She worked so hard. Again, 0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:02.719 I always say my were orphans. They had no help 0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:05.200 in a familiar way. They had to do it with 0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:09.279 just bearing down, willfully determination, try to get education. And 0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.040 she couldn't get a job after she got her master's 0:45:12.360 --> 0:45:15.839 one semester's from a doctorate and she was fifty years old. 0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:18.759 So I look at Whitney. He's a Columbia, he's a 0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:21.680 professor from Columbia. He's got a beautiful family, and I 0:45:21.719 --> 0:45:23.920 don't I don't think he shouldn't have those things. I'm 0:45:24.000 --> 0:45:26.799 happy for him. I'm also mad that he has those things. 0:45:27.200 --> 0:45:30.200 I work hard, but it's not hard enough to get 0:45:30.280 --> 0:45:33.160 past my skin color a gender, certainly not my skin color. 0:45:33.480 --> 0:45:36.879 And so yes, be bump heads, because I sometimes I'll 0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:39.120 be honest to take out on him, but I can't 0:45:39.160 --> 0:45:42.120 take out on the world as you should. Thank you, 0:45:42.400 --> 0:45:49.400 whitey down. You're talking about Charlin here, just got him 0:45:49.440 --> 0:45:53.640 white down down? Yes, yes, do you feel like that? 0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:56.400 I do that with me because we I mean, he argued. 0:45:57.000 --> 0:45:59.160 If we do argue, we've had you know, look, we're 0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:00.800 kind of working out for a couple of years, and 0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:02.880 I think what's interesting about is that you can have 0:46:03.800 --> 0:46:07.040 like shared goals with different motivations. So we're trying to 0:46:07.080 --> 0:46:09.279 get to the same destination. So we're locked in nets. 0:46:09.280 --> 0:46:11.680 We're locked in mission, but we kind of had different 0:46:11.680 --> 0:46:14.200 missions and we had different roads that we're traveling along at. 0:46:14.600 --> 0:46:18.440 But look, it's complicated because we live in different realities 0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:20.560 and so yeah, we you know, I think that that 0:46:20.760 --> 0:46:24.480 going into it. When I first met Erica, I was like, 0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:26.319 I was very skilled. I don't know if I want 0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:30.000 to work with this woman. She's an actress, movie star guy. 0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:32.720 I'm like, this guy, documentary filmmaker, works in the basement. 0:46:32.800 --> 0:46:34.239 I don't know if this is a good deal of it. 0:46:34.719 --> 0:46:36.480 And I said, Erica, I don't if this is gonna work. 0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:38.600 We feel like she said, Whitney, you think I survived 0:46:38.640 --> 0:46:41.120 in Hollywood for thirty years without don't how to handle 0:46:41.160 --> 0:46:46.239 white people like you. I was like, I can work 0:46:46.280 --> 0:46:49.440 with that. Well. The Big Payback Podcast check it out 0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:53.120 right now, Eric Down, thank you for doing me this morning. 0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:56.279 The Big Payback Reparations now whenever it's available on the 0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:59.799 Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network. I'm blessed to be able 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:03.080 to thank you. Thank you for believing and committing to 0:47:03.280 --> 0:47:06.640 the journey. And thank you in congratulations to y'all being 0:47:06.800 --> 0:47:15.200 in the Hall of Fame. Killer all right, thank you, Hi. 0:47:16.640 --> 0:47:29.160 It's about angela ye, the breakfast clubs. So doctor Dre's 0:47:29.280 --> 0:47:32.080 strange wife, Nicole Young, has fouled documents. She wants the 0:47:32.160 --> 0:47:34.799 court to let her get access to their marital home 0:47:35.280 --> 0:47:37.960 because she has some personal belongings there. And get this, 0:47:38.840 --> 0:47:42.200 She's saying that she's observed several different women posting photos 0:47:42.239 --> 0:47:44.120 and videos inside the house and some of them might 0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.440 be wearing her stuff. Can you imagine that you are 0:47:47.560 --> 0:47:50.400 separated and then you see videos of people wearing your 0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:53.279 chanel slides or whatever it is that you some of 0:47:53.320 --> 0:47:55.759 the belongings that you left. She also says that she 0:47:55.920 --> 0:47:58.920 has a closet with twenty four coats and a cedar 0:47:59.000 --> 0:48:01.680 and temperature control environment and she wants to go and 0:48:01.760 --> 0:48:03.680 get those because if he packs up her stuff and 0:48:03.800 --> 0:48:07.000 puts it in storage, that would be catastrophic for her furs. 0:48:07.120 --> 0:48:10.239 They have to remain in that temperature control closet. Rich 0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:15.600 people problems exactly? People wear furs in Lato? Is it 0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:19.880 that cold? Probably? Sometimes, I guess at night, and you 0:48:19.920 --> 0:48:22.080 know how the temperature drops at night. I guess she 0:48:22.200 --> 0:48:26.920 just has travels. You just said it's rich people problems, right, 0:48:27.000 --> 0:48:28.759 Rich people do rich things. If I want to wear 0:48:28.800 --> 0:48:31.040 a fur in seventy degree weather, let me wear my 0:48:31.120 --> 0:48:34.560 fur and seventy degree weather, Okay, cold out in sixty degrees, 0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:40.600 put on and callie. All right. Well April Jones who 0:48:40.760 --> 0:48:44.080 people are saying the rumor is that she's been dating 0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:46.760 doctor Dre because they were photographed out together going to dinner. 0:48:47.440 --> 0:48:49.800 She recently did an interview and she was talking to 0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.560 Madame Noir and she was talking about why she was 0:48:52.640 --> 0:48:54.960 on Love and hip Hop. She said, the whole situation 0:48:55.040 --> 0:48:56.719 with me and Oh on Love and Hip Hop was 0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:59.120 completely controlled. As far as on Marion, she said, I 0:48:59.200 --> 0:49:01.960 never even wanted to freaking reality TV. His management thought 0:49:02.000 --> 0:49:03.759 it would be good for him to show who he 0:49:04.040 --> 0:49:06.400 was in his life because they were gay rumors, so 0:49:06.560 --> 0:49:08.319 the show he was in a relationship with a woman 0:49:08.400 --> 0:49:10.080 and having kids and all that. They thought it would 0:49:10.120 --> 0:49:12.160 be great. If you love somebody, you're going to do it. 0:49:12.239 --> 0:49:14.680 But I just felt very controlled. I wasn't really myself. 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:16.800 On top of that, I was pregnant both times, so 0:49:16.880 --> 0:49:18.600 I was really not myself. And when I came out 0:49:18.640 --> 0:49:21.440 of that relationship which was fully effing controlled, and it 0:49:21.520 --> 0:49:23.000 was a lot going on. I was like, oh my god, 0:49:23.040 --> 0:49:26.640 I totally lost myself in that. Managers and publicians come 0:49:26.680 --> 0:49:28.920 up with the most stupid ideas. But you know what 0:49:29.000 --> 0:49:30.920 I mean, because sometimes because sometimes you just gotta let 0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:33.160 people believe what they believe, let them think what they think. 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:35.440 If you're not gay, who cares? If you're not gay 0:49:35.440 --> 0:49:39.800 and you know you're not gay, who cares? Right? But 0:49:39.920 --> 0:49:41.800 she stayed on the show after that, so you know, 0:49:41.960 --> 0:49:44.000 she's saying it was controlled and she didn't want to 0:49:44.040 --> 0:49:48.759 do it, and I don't know, go ahead, all right? 0:49:48.840 --> 0:49:54.040 Donald Glover has signed an eight figure deal with Amazon Studio, 0:49:54.120 --> 0:49:56.480 so they're saying he has left the Disney owned effects 0:49:56.560 --> 0:50:00.839 for Amazon Studios. They're saying he secured that deal which 0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:03.640 includes a prime video channel that will highlight his work 0:50:04.000 --> 0:50:06.880 as well as other curated content. So they have not 0:50:07.040 --> 0:50:10.400 yet confirmed the details at Amazon Studios, but insiders are 0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:13.040 saying he'll executive produce a number of projects under that deal, 0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:19.600 including a potential series called Hive Dope. What did that 0:50:19.680 --> 0:50:25.480 mean for Atlanta? Under contract for that So it's not 0:50:25.520 --> 0:50:28.560 going to affect Atlanta that's been renewed for two more seasons, 0:50:28.600 --> 0:50:30.960 so he'll figure. You know, I'm sure that's carved out 0:50:31.320 --> 0:50:33.439 for him to finish his contract deal that he has 0:50:33.800 --> 0:50:36.640 with FX for Atlanta. But they do expect that Atlanta 0:50:36.680 --> 0:50:39.760 will resume in the upcoming months, with season three perhaps 0:50:39.880 --> 0:50:44.960 premiering later this year. Look at him, man, that's amazing, 0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:50.040 all right, um meek Mill. People are upset about his lyrics. 0:50:50.520 --> 0:50:52.480 It's a song with little Baby that he has and 0:50:52.840 --> 0:50:56.000 he references Kobe Bryant, and not in a positive manner. 0:50:56.080 --> 0:50:58.120 Listen to this, and if I ever let him going 0:50:58.160 --> 0:51:00.160 out with my travel to be a novel Kobe the 0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.279 shot could tell that they never know me because if 0:51:02.320 --> 0:51:04.319 they knew me, they would have never showed me. Who's 0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:07.080 about some money? Sweety to be lonely? Because at home, 0:51:07.480 --> 0:51:11.040 I know'll never show me. I made the promise before. 0:51:11.120 --> 0:51:15.759 Gone don't want another hope me. So he said, I'm 0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:19.600 going out what my chopper like Kobe Chopper. He said, 0:51:20.080 --> 0:51:21.840 if I ever lack, I'm going out with my chopper 0:51:21.880 --> 0:51:23.839 would be another Kobe ish. I can tell they ain't 0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:26.560 never know me. That's what he said. He's talking about 0:51:26.600 --> 0:51:28.120 the un Actually it's like, what do you call it 0:51:28.160 --> 0:51:31.280 a double one hundra? Yeah, the Chopper and the Chopper. 0:51:31.840 --> 0:51:33.719 I just that hurt my heart because I just thought 0:51:33.760 --> 0:51:38.120 about how his wife with Phil and daughters and people 0:51:38.200 --> 0:51:40.800 close to him like making a joke about it. I 0:51:40.840 --> 0:51:44.200 mean a pun in music about the Chopper and Kobe. 0:51:44.560 --> 0:51:47.320 It's painful. I mean, yeah, it is, but you know, 0:51:47.440 --> 0:51:49.800 and I thought the line was whacking, this tasteful, but 0:51:50.360 --> 0:51:55.040 it's rap music, like the rapper. Yeah, rappers have been saying, wow, 0:51:55.120 --> 0:51:57.080 it has you know, stuff like that. You know, I 0:51:57.400 --> 0:51:59.200 guess it adds to the shock value of hip hop. 0:51:59.320 --> 0:52:01.840 But you know, personally, I know I would be standing 0:52:01.920 --> 0:52:06.200 on really shaky moral ground to criticize me too much, 0:52:06.320 --> 0:52:09.960 especially with the stuff we let slide on the regular. Like, yes, 0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:12.640 Kobe was beloved, so that's probably why it hit home. 0:52:12.680 --> 0:52:15.239 The accident was tragic, and personally, I don't see why 0:52:15.239 --> 0:52:18.080 people play with folks death like that. But it's it's rap. 0:52:19.080 --> 0:52:21.360 I just think about Vanessa Brian and she's even said like, 0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:23.719 I can't please do not post any tribute to about 0:52:24.040 --> 0:52:27.000 Like she's been asking people please don't post this, please 0:52:27.040 --> 0:52:31.120 don't do that. We're still grieving. True, but what about Okay, 0:52:31.680 --> 0:52:34.480 what about a line like when Eminem says when when 0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.600 the concert? The bombing happened at the Ariana Grande concert 0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:39.759 and he said, I'm contemplating yelling bombs away on the 0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:42.799 game like I'm outside and Ariana Grande concert. People died 0:52:42.840 --> 0:52:48.360 in that. Yeah, yeah, and people were outraged about that. 0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:50.320 People have been doing it for a long time. I 0:52:50.440 --> 0:52:52.680 mean there's LUNs with Hove doing it, there's LUNs with 0:52:52.840 --> 0:52:55.959 and like you said, Eminem doing it is I'm sure. 0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:58.439 I'm sure Fab might have said a line. There's something 0:52:58.520 --> 0:53:01.600 similar when when to talk about like that. That's how 0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:05.279 the Columbine lines. I think you also have to know 0:53:05.360 --> 0:53:07.400 when they do something like that, you know it is 0:53:07.400 --> 0:53:08.960 going to affect people, and people are going to have 0:53:09.080 --> 0:53:10.880 an issue with it. I mean, in your head you 0:53:10.960 --> 0:53:12.960 have to say, if I say this, I know there's 0:53:13.000 --> 0:53:15.879 going to be some backlash. There's no question. Absolutely little 0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:18.839 way said I like this has happened so many times 0:53:20.200 --> 0:53:23.399 out and apologize. Yeah. I just feel like I would 0:53:23.440 --> 0:53:26.160 be standing on really shaky moral ground to criticize me, 0:53:26.200 --> 0:53:29.040 because it'd be hypocrisy because it's so much stuff that 0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:33.280 we let slide on the regular. All right, now their body. 0:53:33.320 --> 0:53:37.160 Have you guys ever used that they're a gun? No, 0:53:38.200 --> 0:53:43.239 it's like a massage gun. Yeah, yeah, local because he 0:53:43.280 --> 0:53:46.400 plays football. But yeah, all right. Well, in their latest 0:53:46.480 --> 0:53:48.640 round of investing, their Body is a company that makes 0:53:48.719 --> 0:53:51.120 They're a Gun. They got us a lot of support 0:53:51.200 --> 0:53:53.720 for more than one hundred names in sports, business, culture 0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:58.720 and entertainment, people like Kevin Durant, Rihanna, Russell, Wilson, Sierra. 0:53:58.840 --> 0:54:01.040 All of these people have now in vested in their Body. 0:54:01.080 --> 0:54:03.200 They said, their Body is at the forefront of incredible 0:54:03.239 --> 0:54:05.640 opportunities in the wellness space, and we look forward to 0:54:05.680 --> 0:54:08.960 seeing what else they're going to accomplish. So they tripled 0:54:09.000 --> 0:54:12.279 its overall revenue since twenty seventeen. The company has one 0:54:12.400 --> 0:54:14.919 hundred and twenty six patterns globally and another one hundred 0:54:14.960 --> 0:54:17.200 and thirty eight pending, and they have their products and 0:54:17.200 --> 0:54:22.520 approximately ten thousand stores around the world. A lot of 0:54:22.560 --> 0:54:25.520 support there. All right, Well that is your rumor report. 0:54:25.880 --> 0:54:28.080 All right, thank you, miss ye charlemagn Who are you 0:54:28.080 --> 0:54:31.840 giving that donkey too? Oh man? We need a Texas 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:34.400 marrit named Tim Boyd to come to the front of 0:54:34.480 --> 0:54:37.880 the congregation like This ain't rap. You know what I'm saying, 0:54:38.680 --> 0:54:42.640 the wild distasteful stuff that Tim Boyd said, This ain't rap. 0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:44.520 We'll talk about it for after the hour, all right, 0:54:44.560 --> 0:54:46.239 we'll get you that next it's the breakfast Club. Good 0:54:46.239 --> 0:54:54.080 Morning's time for Donkey of the Day. I'm a Democrat, 0:54:54.120 --> 0:54:56.320 so being Donkey of the day a little bit of 0:54:56.400 --> 0:55:05.080 a mixed day. Now, I've been called a lot in 0:55:05.160 --> 0:55:07.200 my twenty three years. That Donkey of the Bay is 0:55:07.200 --> 0:55:11.960 a new wife. Yes, donkey here today for Thursday, February eighteenth, 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:15.400 goes to Texas Mayor Tim Boyd. Tim Boyd is, or 0:55:15.520 --> 0:55:18.160 should I say, was, the mayor of Colorado City. Before 0:55:18.200 --> 0:55:19.560 I tell you what he did, let me tell you 0:55:19.640 --> 0:55:22.960 the backstory. We all are in our own worlds here 0:55:23.000 --> 0:55:24.880 on this planet, so some of us may not be 0:55:25.040 --> 0:55:27.239 familiar with what's going on in Texas right now, but 0:55:27.280 --> 0:55:30.279 a deadly and record breaking winter storm has left much 0:55:30.280 --> 0:55:32.800 of the state without power. This week, I saw a 0:55:32.840 --> 0:55:35.279 good brother, Trade the true shop clus to trade the truth. 0:55:36.440 --> 0:55:39.600 I saw him post that people are sleeping in cars 0:55:39.719 --> 0:55:43.680 and dying due to carbon monoxide poisoning, and Trade pointed 0:55:43.680 --> 0:55:46.239 out something that is clearly ringing true. Because Trade said, 0:55:46.280 --> 0:55:48.800 and I quote, the problem for us is the people 0:55:48.840 --> 0:55:52.000 who in positions of power in Texas felt the money 0:55:52.640 --> 0:55:55.680 was more important. How the f government and politicians allowed 0:55:55.760 --> 0:55:58.840 us and allowed Arcot to f us over. Arcott is 0:55:58.840 --> 0:56:02.480 the electric Ability Counsel of Texas. By the way, they 0:56:02.480 --> 0:56:05.120 operate the electric grid for seventy five percent of the state. 0:56:05.160 --> 0:56:07.600 From what I read now, people in Texas have gone 0:56:07.600 --> 0:56:12.120 without powerful our food for three days, says Trey. So 0:56:13.680 --> 0:56:15.920 really serious situation happening in Texas, you know what I mean? 0:56:16.200 --> 0:56:18.759 Prayers are for everybody in Texas. Who do people turn 0:56:18.840 --> 0:56:21.480 to in times like this? Who helps folks in situations 0:56:21.560 --> 0:56:24.120 like this? Because the Avengers of fictional characters, so is 0:56:24.160 --> 0:56:26.920 a justice league. I would love for wand to create 0:56:26.960 --> 0:56:29.400 an alternate reality in Texas right now where they are 0:56:29.480 --> 0:56:32.799 not being hit with a winter storm. But that's not reality. Okay, 0:56:32.880 --> 0:56:35.200 this isn't a Marvel Disney Plus TV show. In times 0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:38.640 like this, the people that are supposed to help are 0:56:38.760 --> 0:56:41.840 the elected officials, the public servants we put into office 0:56:41.880 --> 0:56:45.640 to protect, provide, and serve our communities. So we think 0:56:46.360 --> 0:56:49.000 I literally said to you in the six am hour 0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:51.640 in regard to Joe Biden not wanting to cancel student loan. 0:56:51.760 --> 0:56:54.279 That I don't care if it's Republican a Democrat. They 0:56:54.320 --> 0:56:57.640 don't care about helping anyone except the rich and elite. Okay, 0:56:58.239 --> 0:57:00.440 that always comes for us in this country. These operations 0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:03.960 will get bailouts, but the people will starve. It never 0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:06.759 fails in this situation in Texas is no different. Keep 0:57:06.800 --> 0:57:08.800 in mind what I said about Texas. Okay, keep in 0:57:08.880 --> 0:57:11.799 mind what Trade said about Texas. Deadly win it's done. 0:57:12.000 --> 0:57:14.680 Trade to Truth said, elders and babies are dying from 0:57:14.760 --> 0:57:17.640 carbon monoxide poisoning because they have to sleep in their cars. 0:57:17.720 --> 0:57:21.520 Folks haven't eaten or had power in three days, says 0:57:21.560 --> 0:57:24.600 Trade to Truth. And the mayor of Colorado City, Texas, 0:57:24.720 --> 0:57:27.800 Tim boy the mayor had this to say, Let's go 0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:30.760 to KRBCNBC nine for the report. Police. The strong will 0:57:30.800 --> 0:57:35.040 survive and the week will perish. Harsh words from Colorado 0:57:35.120 --> 0:57:38.920 City Mayor Tim Boyd as residents continue to fight the cold. 0:57:39.040 --> 0:57:42.640 Mitchell County Judge Mark Merrill says the area husband struggling 0:57:42.720 --> 0:57:45.880 to keep water and some electricity on since Monday, and 0:57:46.000 --> 0:57:49.080 as many in the county look for help, Colorado City's 0:57:49.120 --> 0:57:52.360 mayor says, don't look to him, quoting it's not the 0:57:52.440 --> 0:57:56.640 local government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this, 0:57:57.480 --> 0:58:02.160 sink or swim, it's your choice. Colorado City's Maorhouse was signed, 0:58:02.280 --> 0:58:04.960 but others say the city is still working to step 0:58:05.080 --> 0:58:09.240 up and keep residents warm during the storm. I'm gonna 0:58:09.240 --> 0:58:11.840 be honest with you. That news report didn't you know 0:58:12.600 --> 0:58:16.600 do it didn't give what Tim Boyd wrote any real justice, 0:58:16.680 --> 0:58:18.920 Like they really watered what he said down. Let me 0:58:19.040 --> 0:58:21.880 read it for you. Okay, this is Tim Boyd verbatim raw. 0:58:22.080 --> 0:58:24.400 I'm not putting no sauce on this. I will read 0:58:24.480 --> 0:58:28.320 you Tim Boyd's old statement in full. Let me hurt 0:58:28.360 --> 0:58:31.000 some feelings while I have a minute. No one owes 0:58:31.080 --> 0:58:33.920 you or your family anything, nor is it the local 0:58:34.040 --> 0:58:38.000 government's responsibility to support you during trying times like this. 0:58:38.480 --> 0:58:41.880 Sink or swim is short choice. The city and county, 0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:45.240 along with power providers or any other service, owes you 0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:49.600 nothing in capital letters. I'm sick and tired of people 0:58:49.720 --> 0:58:53.000 looking for a damn handout with an exclamation mark. If 0:58:53.040 --> 0:58:55.840 you don't have electricity, you step up and come up 0:58:55.880 --> 0:58:58.520 with a game plan to keep your family warm and safe. 0:58:58.720 --> 0:59:01.560 If you have no water, you deal without and think 0:59:01.640 --> 0:59:04.360 outside of the box to survive and supply water to 0:59:04.520 --> 0:59:06.680 your family. If you are sitting at home in the 0:59:06.800 --> 0:59:09.760 cold because you have no power and are sitting there 0:59:10.120 --> 0:59:13.440 waiting for someone to come rescue you because you're lazy, 0:59:13.720 --> 0:59:17.040 it's a direct result that you're raising. Only the strong 0:59:17.120 --> 0:59:20.080 will survive and the weak will parish. Folks, God has 0:59:20.120 --> 0:59:22.680 given us the two to support ourselves in times like this. 0:59:23.040 --> 0:59:25.960 This is sadly a product of a socialist government where 0:59:26.000 --> 0:59:28.360 they feed people to believe that the fuel will work 0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:31.160 and others will become dependent for handouts. Am I sorry 0:59:31.200 --> 0:59:33.800 that you have been dealing without electricity and water? Yes? 0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:36.840 I can't tell, Tim, but I'll be damned if I'm 0:59:36.920 --> 0:59:40.320 gonna provide for anyone that is capable of doing it themselves. 0:59:40.480 --> 0:59:42.720 We have lost sight of those in need and those 0:59:42.760 --> 0:59:45.479 that take advantage of the system and mess them into 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:49.000 one group. Bottom line, quit crying and looking for a handout, 0:59:49.160 --> 0:59:51.840 Get off your ass and take care of your own family. 0:59:52.640 --> 0:59:56.880 End quote Tim boy that I need you to shut 0:59:56.960 --> 0:59:59.200 the f up forever, all right. These are the folks 0:59:59.200 --> 1:00:01.920 who are and leadership positions in America. How can you 1:00:02.000 --> 1:00:05.880 say power providers or any other service owes the people nothing. 1:00:06.080 --> 1:00:08.840 Of course they do. They owe the people power and 1:00:08.960 --> 1:00:12.440 good service. That's what they pay for every month. You 1:00:12.520 --> 1:00:14.800 know what happens if a regular, everyday citizen tells the 1:00:14.840 --> 1:00:17.840 power company, I owe you nothing, the power company will say, 1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:19.880 oh word, and they will cut off that person's power. 1:00:19.960 --> 1:00:22.960 See the reason this mayor thinks the power company doesn't 1:00:22.960 --> 1:00:24.920 owe the people anything is because he knows the people 1:00:25.200 --> 1:00:27.479 need the power companies more than the companies need the people. 1:00:27.520 --> 1:00:29.480 The people have no choice but to have power, and 1:00:29.560 --> 1:00:32.440 the man owes this, and that's why he's flexing on 1:00:32.560 --> 1:00:35.720 his constituents in this manner. The mayor said, he's sick 1:00:35.840 --> 1:00:38.680 and tired of people looking for a handout. Sir, this 1:00:38.920 --> 1:00:41.720 was a storm. This winter storm is an act of God. 1:00:42.120 --> 1:00:44.640 Folks are in distress. They need help. If my house 1:00:44.800 --> 1:00:46.800 is on fire and I called a fire department to 1:00:46.880 --> 1:00:49.200 come put it out, that's not me asking for a handout. 1:00:49.320 --> 1:00:52.720 That's me, as a taxpaying citizen utilizing resources that I 1:00:52.960 --> 1:00:55.720 help pay for. For you to tell those residents in Texas, 1:00:55.920 --> 1:00:58.360 if you don't have electricity, you don't have water, to 1:00:58.440 --> 1:01:00.560 come up with a different game plan to keep your 1:01:00.600 --> 1:01:02.800 family warm and safe, to think outside of the box 1:01:02.880 --> 1:01:06.880 to survive. Tim Boyd, tell me your plan. I bet 1:01:07.040 --> 1:01:09.880 you got water, I bet you got electricity. I bet 1:01:10.000 --> 1:01:13.160 you got food. Meanwhile, you're on Facebook talking down on 1:01:13.280 --> 1:01:15.840 the people you're supposed to be serving, sounding like you're 1:01:15.880 --> 1:01:19.360 quoting the hook of huh by juvenile. You told the 1:01:19.440 --> 1:01:21.680 residents of Texas you know what it is. You make 1:01:21.760 --> 1:01:23.600 nothing out of something. You handle your bins and don't 1:01:23.600 --> 1:01:26.280 be crying and suffering if you don't get your human 1:01:26.400 --> 1:01:28.720 jar helmet's head ass up out of here. I hate 1:01:28.760 --> 1:01:32.480 when people chastise folks for problems that the people they 1:01:32.600 --> 1:01:35.680 chastised and didn't create. You called these people lazy, as 1:01:35.720 --> 1:01:38.960 if they created this snowstorm, as if they put themselves 1:01:39.280 --> 1:01:43.160 in these positions. You blame their present condition on the 1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.880 way they were raised. Okay, you might be right, because 1:01:46.880 --> 1:01:48.840 a lot of these people weren't born privileged. Okay. They 1:01:48.920 --> 1:01:51.360 were raised in the poverty, all right, grew up they 1:01:51.400 --> 1:01:55.720 were raised pouring disenfranchise okay, and because of socioeconomic conditions 1:01:55.720 --> 1:01:57.960 of this country, they just simply haven't been able to rise. 1:01:58.240 --> 1:02:01.640 Because a good old boys like Tim Boyd, systemically keeping 1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:04.600 their foot on folks. Next, that is the American way, 1:02:04.680 --> 1:02:07.520 ladies and gentlemen, Okay, the American way. It's systemically oppressed 1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:10.240 and marginalized folks. And then when the most vulnerable, vulnerable 1:02:10.240 --> 1:02:13.440 among us is exposed by situations like this, situations that 1:02:13.480 --> 1:02:15.960 are out of their control, the people in positions of 1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:19.320 power of victim blame instead of taking accountability what you 1:02:19.680 --> 1:02:24.000 and your piss poor administration, Tim Boyd is clearly not doing. Now. 1:02:24.120 --> 1:02:27.640 Of course the post was deleted. Tim received backlash or 1:02:27.680 --> 1:02:30.760 he gave us the mandatory fake apology after things like 1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:33.439 this happened. Let me read it. I would never want 1:02:33.480 --> 1:02:36.479 to hurt the elderly or anyone that is in true 1:02:36.600 --> 1:02:39.200 need to help, to be left to fend for themselves. 1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:42.000 I was only making a statement that those folks that 1:02:42.120 --> 1:02:44.320 are too lazy to get up and find for themselves, 1:02:44.800 --> 1:02:47.040 but are capable, should not be dealt a hand out. 1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:50.000 I apologize for the wording and some of the phrases 1:02:50.200 --> 1:02:54.000 that were used. Once again, Tim, shut the f up forever. 1:02:54.400 --> 1:02:57.240 It's an act of God. You do realize that an 1:02:57.320 --> 1:03:01.160 act of God can bring anyone to their knees. Rich 1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:03.960 Paul black White. It doesn't matter, Tim, you and your 1:03:04.000 --> 1:03:07.040 family to be in that position one day, just like 1:03:07.200 --> 1:03:12.120 that snap of thin no stump, okay, earthquakes, her queen's blizzards. 1:03:12.200 --> 1:03:14.640 They don't give a damn about your financial status. They 1:03:14.680 --> 1:03:18.680 will take your home right out and then what we're 1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:20.800 gonna tell you to get it? How you live, just 1:03:20.960 --> 1:03:23.640 like you did those families in their time of need. 1:03:23.920 --> 1:03:27.080 Now Tim Boyd has resigned, which I'm shocked about. Usually 1:03:27.160 --> 1:03:28.840 the privilege to let us among us just say the 1:03:28.920 --> 1:03:30.760 hell with y'all. I said what I said, but he 1:03:30.840 --> 1:03:34.120 resigned and his wife got fired for his comments. See, 1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:37.320 knowing when to open your mouth and when to keep 1:03:37.400 --> 1:03:40.960 it shut is valuable wisdom. Tim, you should have kept 1:03:41.000 --> 1:03:44.960 the lid on the Mayonnaid's jaw aka your mouth. All right? 1:03:45.400 --> 1:03:48.080 Please let Chelsea Handler give Tim Boyd the biggest he 1:03:48.160 --> 1:03:51.360 haw he haw he haw.

Hi? 1:04:31.240 --> 1:04:34.640 Is Sean Tell? Hey, Sean Tell? What's your question for you? Um? 1:04:34.880 --> 1:04:38.000 I've been with my boyfriend now for eight years. Ye 1:04:38.080 --> 1:04:41.840 have two children together, and like any young couple, we've 1:04:41.880 --> 1:04:44.680 been off and on, you know, we've had our problems, 1:04:44.800 --> 1:04:49.439 but more recently with this last love town we made, 1:04:50.160 --> 1:04:54.200 we were doing good. Everything I needed was being you know, 1:04:54.480 --> 1:04:59.000 Matt communication, our goals was in wine and then I 1:04:59.080 --> 1:05:02.400 don't nowhere. Back in September, I went through his phone 1:05:02.920 --> 1:05:07.960 and I think that he was entertaining females on social 1:05:08.040 --> 1:05:13.880 media through Yes. I mean like really, you know, just 1:05:14.040 --> 1:05:16.680 doing the most. Like one girl was begging her to 1:05:16.760 --> 1:05:19.200 cut him back on. I was just confused, like what 1:05:19.320 --> 1:05:22.640 did she cut you out of? But anyway, we talked 1:05:22.680 --> 1:05:25.720 about it. Nothing was physical, and that's fine. I was 1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:28.800 like willing to move on. Nothing I came across and 1:05:28.880 --> 1:05:31.320 made it seemed like he was getting down with anybody, 1:05:31.440 --> 1:05:34.600 So I was like, okay, I gave when we talked 1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:36.680 about it, and I taught him there. I said, you 1:05:36.760 --> 1:05:39.480 know this, I'm not gonna keep going through this. I'm 1:05:39.520 --> 1:05:42.240 too old. I got too much going on to be going. 1:05:42.360 --> 1:05:45.520 I feel like this is childish if that's where you 1:05:45.600 --> 1:05:48.520 want to be leading me off, you know. So that 1:05:48.680 --> 1:05:52.320 was in September. Out of nowhere, Here we go February 1:05:52.920 --> 1:05:56.800 team he fasted out, drunks. I go through his phone 1:05:57.440 --> 1:06:00.880 and now he's been sneaky about it. He's actually still 1:06:00.960 --> 1:06:07.760 conversating with these females, but he's deleting it and to 1:06:07.960 --> 1:06:13.280 show it's fun. Wow, that's embarrassing. Hey, this is crazy 1:06:13.320 --> 1:06:14.800 because I want to say a few things here. You 1:06:14.880 --> 1:06:17.200 guys have been off and on. It probably feels like 1:06:17.320 --> 1:06:19.040 to him, y'all will go through it, but you're always 1:06:19.080 --> 1:06:20.640 going to be back together with him. So he can 1:06:20.720 --> 1:06:23.280 kind of do him because you ain't going nowhere. It's 1:06:23.320 --> 1:06:26.240 been eight years, you have two kids together, So he's 1:06:26.240 --> 1:06:29.320 not concerned about that at all. Secondly, all his friends 1:06:29.440 --> 1:06:31.560 know what he's doing. That's embarrassing. Now you gotta be 1:06:31.680 --> 1:06:33.680 around them. I gotta see you, you gotta be and 1:06:33.800 --> 1:06:35.480 you always think, oh, his friends is laughing at me 1:06:35.480 --> 1:06:37.360 because they know what he's doing behind my back. They 1:06:37.440 --> 1:06:40.760 know he don't even take me seriously family, right, so 1:06:40.920 --> 1:06:44.320 everybody knows. So now you feel like boo boo the fool. Yeo, 1:06:44.880 --> 1:06:49.400 I listen, he loved me and he there's nothing. But 1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:53.040 I guess my question is, is Hill's flirting? I mean, 1:06:53.160 --> 1:06:56.000 to me, it's it's working. I'm not willing to put 1:06:56.040 --> 1:06:58.280 out with it. But is that? Is that now what 1:06:58.480 --> 1:07:01.720 twenty one is about? Like, it is not, and there 1:07:01.880 --> 1:07:04.240 is no way you should be excusing his behavior as 1:07:04.360 --> 1:07:07.080 just flirting or this is what twenty twenty one is about. 1:07:07.200 --> 1:07:10.200 Don't let him convince you that, okay, because that is 1:07:10.320 --> 1:07:14.720 dead wrong. He's out here seeking validation and who knows 1:07:14.800 --> 1:07:16.960 if this will lead to something physical, because if not, 1:07:17.120 --> 1:07:18.760 what's the point of him even doing that? Does he 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:21.360 feel like it makes him feel attractive? Is it good 1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:23.520 for his ego? What is it that you feel like? 1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:25.600 Am I not doing what he needs me to do 1:07:25.680 --> 1:07:29.560 for this relationship to work? And is completely disrespectful? Yeah? 1:07:30.160 --> 1:07:33.600 So I just think that you know, y'all have been 1:07:33.640 --> 1:07:35.200 through a lot, Like you said, you've been off and on. 1:07:35.400 --> 1:07:37.400 Y'all been together for eight years and he's still not 1:07:37.560 --> 1:07:40.600 taking it seriously. What do you need to do for yourself? 1:07:40.680 --> 1:07:42.520 Because don't you want to be in a relationship where 1:07:42.560 --> 1:07:44.680 you're not going through someone's phone where you don't even 1:07:44.760 --> 1:07:47.880 have to think like that? Yes? I do. And I've 1:07:47.960 --> 1:07:50.240 never been that type. I've never been a jealous type. 1:07:50.280 --> 1:07:51.840 I've never been to go through a phone type. He 1:07:52.000 --> 1:07:54.320 never even gave me any clue, but I had to 1:07:54.440 --> 1:08:00.200 do that. It was really like, I'm just so you 1:08:00.280 --> 1:08:03.640 all like, and then I became that person. Yeah, And 1:08:03.800 --> 1:08:06.240 I do think when you realize you're not who you 1:08:06.360 --> 1:08:09.600 are in a relationship, then that means things aren't going well. 1:08:09.640 --> 1:08:11.800 When I'm acting out a character and I'm like, why 1:08:11.840 --> 1:08:13.720 am I feeling jealous? Why am I feeling like I 1:08:13.760 --> 1:08:16.360 got to go through his phone? Why am I feeling insecure? 1:08:16.720 --> 1:08:19.360 That's not a good sign. So he needs to get 1:08:19.439 --> 1:08:21.559 some help he needs to do. You need to decide 1:08:21.600 --> 1:08:23.280 what it is you have to tell him he needs 1:08:23.320 --> 1:08:24.880 to do. And in the meantime, I feel like you 1:08:24.960 --> 1:08:26.679 have to realize that we are not in a committed 1:08:26.720 --> 1:08:30.200 relationship until you can fulfill these goals. And I just 1:08:30.320 --> 1:08:32.639 can't see it working until he does what he needs 1:08:32.640 --> 1:08:34.120 to do and you feel more comfortable, and that's going 1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:36.000 to take time. Is he willing to step up to 1:08:36.040 --> 1:08:38.120 the plate to do that, though, is the question. So 1:08:38.360 --> 1:08:40.800 you need to figure out what I have to tell him. Well, 1:08:40.880 --> 1:08:43.439 tell him what it is specifically that he needs to 1:08:43.439 --> 1:08:45.200 do to make you feel comfortable. And if that means 1:08:45.280 --> 1:08:47.680 making his account private, if that means that you have 1:08:47.880 --> 1:08:51.040 access to his account so you can see what he's doing, 1:08:51.760 --> 1:08:53.880 whatever it is that you need, don't let him tell 1:08:53.920 --> 1:08:56.240 you know. And if he's not willing to do those things, 1:08:56.280 --> 1:09:01.400 that he's not willing to save your relationship. Okay, thank you, 1:09:02.439 --> 1:09:05.120 all right, you're welcome, girl. I wish you so much luck. 1:09:05.160 --> 1:09:06.840 I do hope things work out for you. Guys. But 1:09:06.920 --> 1:09:09.400 he has to make the most effort right now because 1:09:09.439 --> 1:09:11.439 you can't trust him. And once that trust is broken, 1:09:11.800 --> 1:09:13.519 no one wants to live in a relationship where they're 1:09:13.520 --> 1:09:16.439 always second guessing everything. When he leaves the house, who 1:09:16.560 --> 1:09:18.479 is he on the phone with? Why it's his phone 1:09:18.520 --> 1:09:22.280 turned upside down? M? I mean he always in his fall, 1:09:22.600 --> 1:09:24.960 always is glued in his hand, in his face, and 1:09:25.000 --> 1:09:27.080 then he's my kind of look over he go, you know, 1:09:27.240 --> 1:09:34.800 basketball related, M. You know right, all right, Well, sounds 1:09:34.840 --> 1:09:36.599 like you're a good woman, but you can't keep holding 1:09:36.640 --> 1:09:40.040 down somebody that's doing things like that and embarrassing you 1:09:40.120 --> 1:09:45.360 and being disrespectful. Yeah, thank you, You're welcome, good luck, 1:09:45.680 --> 1:09:48.519 all right? Ask ye eight hundred five eight five one 1:09:48.560 --> 1:09:50.720 oh five one.

You got 1:10:24.120 --> 1:10:25.719 a woman pregnant and you don't know if you should 1:10:25.720 --> 1:10:27.160 stay with her? Do you want to be with her? 1:10:27.800 --> 1:10:31.280 I mean, she a good girl whatever, but she so 1:10:32.000 --> 1:10:34.519 being around So I don't know what I don't want 1:10:34.560 --> 1:10:36.960 to do. So you're trying to say in the past, 1:10:37.560 --> 1:10:40.360 she's got a lot of bodies, but that bothers you, now, 1:10:41.000 --> 1:10:44.160 I mean from me, I ain't planning to get her pregnant, 1:10:44.640 --> 1:10:48.000 but he all right, let's take the pregnancy out of this. 1:10:48.240 --> 1:10:52.080 Is this somebody that you would want to be with? No? No, 1:10:52.280 --> 1:10:56.880 really why not? Because is like from me, I'm funny 1:10:57.000 --> 1:11:00.560 for I'm living okay, So you just not ready to 1:11:00.600 --> 1:11:02.200 be in a relationship. It has nothing to do with 1:11:02.320 --> 1:11:04.640 her past. You just said she's a good girl. But 1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:08.519 she's been around for me, for me, so your heart 1:11:08.560 --> 1:11:11.080 refuse a love? So what she did? What about you? 1:11:11.200 --> 1:11:13.560 Have you been around? You feel me? But that's a 1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:16.240 double stairs of the life bore like you know, you 1:11:16.360 --> 1:11:20.680 supposed to get around, you know, like, oh, so you're 1:11:20.680 --> 1:11:23.240 saying it's okay for you, but it's not okay for her. 1:11:23.800 --> 1:11:25.960 It's definitely okay for me. I'm a god, It's like 1:11:26.560 --> 1:11:30.320 a woman is is what? Oh? No, what I'm supposed 1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:32.920 to And I'm not ridiculous to you. So you could 1:11:32.920 --> 1:11:35.320 do whatever you want in the past. But when she 1:11:35.560 --> 1:11:37.960 was single and mingling, that was it. That's an issue 1:11:38.040 --> 1:11:40.439 now even though it's in her past and you said 1:11:40.479 --> 1:11:44.879 she's a good girl. You know, if you're real confident 1:11:44.960 --> 1:11:47.720 in yourself and securing who you are, it should not 1:11:47.920 --> 1:11:52.680 matter what anybody thinks about your girl. True, true, But no, 1:11:53.960 --> 1:11:56.880 I understand, I understand. I'm man for advice. I'm listening. 1:11:57.520 --> 1:12:00.120 So if you want to be with this woman, you 1:12:00.200 --> 1:12:03.080 want to at least give the relationship a chance, then 1:12:03.200 --> 1:12:05.599 you do that because you said she's a good girl. 1:12:05.640 --> 1:12:08.679 If you don't let what other people might think about 1:12:08.800 --> 1:12:10.960 your girl bother you. It should only matter what you 1:12:11.080 --> 1:12:14.240 think about your girl. And if you now if she 1:12:14.439 --> 1:12:17.519 treats you well, if she's great to you. Man, you 1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:20.240 got her pregnant, take care of your responsibility. You can't 1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:22.000 take the pregnancy out of this, and you better be 1:12:22.080 --> 1:12:24.920 a good father because now he is gonna be It's 1:12:24.960 --> 1:12:26.880 not about that he's asking if he should be with her. 1:12:26.920 --> 1:12:28.920 That is what it's about. It's about taking care of 1:12:29.000 --> 1:12:30.920 that child. You can take care of your child and 1:12:31.000 --> 1:12:32.800 not be together. You don't have to be with somebody 1:12:32.880 --> 1:12:35.639 just because you go to him. You told him take 1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:37.679 the pregnancy out of if you can't in this situation, 1:12:38.520 --> 1:12:40.519 what I'm saying. What I'm saying is if his question 1:12:40.680 --> 1:12:42.040 is does he want to be with her or not, 1:12:42.560 --> 1:12:44.839 you're not. You don't stay with somebody just because they're pregnant. 1:12:44.880 --> 1:12:47.800 You can still be a father of his responsibilities. But 1:12:47.920 --> 1:12:49.599 what I'm saying is if you want to be with her, 1:12:49.680 --> 1:12:51.720 it's not about whether she's pregnant that you want to 1:12:51.760 --> 1:12:53.639 be with her. It's about whether or not you want 1:12:53.680 --> 1:12:55.880 to be with her. Yes, still be your father, still 1:12:55.920 --> 1:12:58.439 handle your responsibilities, but you're not for should be number 1:12:58.479 --> 1:13:01.640 one one. I'm so you feel me. So it's like, 1:13:01.960 --> 1:13:06.160 you know, people look down on that she's not on 1:13:06.240 --> 1:13:09.120 the same playe. But tom is you know what I mean, Like, 1:13:09.640 --> 1:13:15.280 I'll be having a coach and father. You're saying, so, 1:13:15.880 --> 1:13:18.400 so yeah, I'm so you're hustling as a as a 1:13:18.439 --> 1:13:20.439 street hustler, or you just hustle like you get money. 1:13:21.000 --> 1:13:25.000 I mean like, yeah, I'm getting money both both way, Okay, 1:13:25.400 --> 1:13:28.160 And I'm sure people judge you for that, right Yeah, 1:13:28.280 --> 1:13:31.120 but you know I live in know bros. It's like 1:13:33.120 --> 1:13:37.759 it's like it's like, I don't know, there's no judgment. 1:13:37.840 --> 1:13:40.240 Once you're getting money, It's like, damn, at least you 1:13:40.280 --> 1:13:42.320 gotta take care of your kid regardless. You gotta take 1:13:42.360 --> 1:13:43.920 care of your kid regardless, And you have to have 1:13:43.960 --> 1:13:45.560 a relationship with the mom, whether you want to be 1:13:45.640 --> 1:13:47.599 with her or not. You have to have a great 1:13:47.640 --> 1:13:50.679 relationship for your child. You laid down with that woman 1:13:51.200 --> 1:13:54.320 and things happen, and now you gotta be a man man. Uh, 1:13:54.760 --> 1:13:56.880 I think, yeah. The first thing is, of course are 1:13:56.920 --> 1:13:59.200 you planning. You are planning to take care of your child, right, 1:13:59.280 --> 1:14:01.519 That wasn't the question. I mean, yeah, of course I 1:14:01.640 --> 1:14:03.880 take care of my child, take care of my bam me. 1:14:04.080 --> 1:14:06.439 I'm the one who play everybody, but you know I 1:14:06.560 --> 1:14:08.400 play the building. It's on me, put the food on 1:14:08.439 --> 1:14:10.559 the table and all that. You just don't know if 1:14:10.560 --> 1:14:13.599 you want to wife her, it's all it's crazy. Yeah, 1:14:13.600 --> 1:14:15.640 I think take your time. All you can do is 1:14:15.680 --> 1:14:17.600 to make sure is make sure that she has a 1:14:17.680 --> 1:14:20.200 safe pregnancy. Just be good and be there for her 1:14:20.240 --> 1:14:22.799 throughout her pregnancy so the baby is safe and healthy 1:14:23.120 --> 1:14:25.280 and you can work on your relationship and decide. You 1:14:25.320 --> 1:14:27.280 don't got to make that decision right now as far 1:14:27.360 --> 1:14:30.560 as whether you guys are co parenting or in a relationship. 1:14:30.880 --> 1:14:33.800 But I think you know, just handle your responsibilities as 1:14:33.880 --> 1:14:37.040 a father and then you guys will decide in time. 1:14:37.080 --> 1:14:39.160 But don't judge her based off of her past. Her 1:14:39.200 --> 1:14:41.720 past is you know, it's cliche, but your past is 1:14:41.720 --> 1:14:43.840 what makes you who you are today. She wouldn't be 1:14:43.880 --> 1:14:45.599 the person that she is right now that you say 1:14:45.720 --> 1:14:47.599 is a good girl if she hadn't done the things 1:14:47.640 --> 1:14:49.040 that she would have done in her past and lived 1:14:49.080 --> 1:14:54.200 her life and you and you add it to her 1:14:54.240 --> 1:14:56.000 body count. You know she had a lot of bodies 1:14:56.040 --> 1:14:58.240 before you slept with her. You got her pregnant. Take 1:14:58.320 --> 1:15:04.880 care of your responsibilities. She's filling the team. This is 1:15:04.920 --> 1:15:10.960 the Rumor Report with Angela Ye on the Breakfast Club. Well, 1:15:11.040 --> 1:15:14.320 Tammy Roman posted a video of herself and she's very emotional. 1:15:14.400 --> 1:15:16.760 She's in Atlanta working. She said her house into and 1:15:16.920 --> 1:15:20.720 Texas is destroyed. Here's what you had to say. I'm 1:15:20.800 --> 1:15:24.280 siding me my trailer, just trying to keep it together 1:15:25.120 --> 1:15:28.920 because I know I gotta go and perform today. Like 1:15:29.160 --> 1:15:34.320 everything is okay, everything open. Work is so hard for 1:15:34.520 --> 1:15:41.720 thee My children just hurted away in an instant and 1:15:41.880 --> 1:15:46.240 I know everybody it's going through something. But I just 1:15:46.400 --> 1:15:50.160 wanted to offer prayers up for you in your situation. 1:15:52.160 --> 1:15:57.559 That's horrible. M Yeah. So um. You can watch her 1:15:57.600 --> 1:16:01.880 full statement on Instagram now. Kanye, according to reports, is 1:16:01.960 --> 1:16:05.360 not doing well amidst to split from Kim Kardashian. So 1:16:05.560 --> 1:16:07.160 some people that they would get back together, but it 1:16:07.200 --> 1:16:09.759 looks like it's not happening. A source told People magazine. 1:16:09.800 --> 1:16:11.800 He's anxious and very sad. He knows the marriage is 1:16:11.800 --> 1:16:13.760 over and there's nothing that can be done right now. 1:16:14.120 --> 1:16:16.560 He also knows what he is losing in Kim. She 1:16:16.680 --> 1:16:19.080 has defended him privately to her family. She has stopped 1:16:19.080 --> 1:16:21.639 beside him at a time where a few wives, where 1:16:21.760 --> 1:16:23.519 a few wives would have done that. There is very 1:16:23.560 --> 1:16:25.759 little hope of reconciliation. It would have to be a miracle, 1:16:25.840 --> 1:16:28.840 but Kanye does believe in miracles. It feels like this 1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:33.200 source is the Kardashian. Yeah, it definitely seems like I 1:16:33.240 --> 1:16:37.120 would say, no matter what happens in anybody's family, especially 1:16:37.160 --> 1:16:39.599 your wife, it doesn't matter what happened that that will 1:16:39.640 --> 1:16:41.800 hurt you. That'll put you into an adult place if 1:16:41.800 --> 1:16:44.160 you ever think about losing your family or losing your wife. 1:16:44.200 --> 1:16:46.760 So I get it. I understand completely. Yeah, that's your 1:16:46.880 --> 1:16:49.400 that's your wife, that's the mother of your kids. It's like, 1:16:49.600 --> 1:16:51.400 you know, who wants to live like that? You know 1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:53.840 what I mean? Who wants to live without without a wife? 1:16:53.880 --> 1:16:58.559 By the inside. Gotta go see the same. Insiders said, 1:16:58.600 --> 1:17:00.080 Kim doesn't want to hurt him. She just knows she 1:17:00.160 --> 1:17:02.320 can't be married to him anymore. He's very aware that 1:17:02.479 --> 1:17:04.519 she's been a good wife. He still loves her very much, 1:17:04.560 --> 1:17:09.920 but he understands. Chris, we can see you. We can 1:17:10.120 --> 1:17:13.880 see you, Chris. Okay. Now, Another source, I don't know 1:17:13.880 --> 1:17:17.280 if it's the same source told E News exclusively that 1:17:17.439 --> 1:17:19.920 while Kim and Kanye's relationship may be nearing its end, 1:17:19.960 --> 1:17:23.080 their kids do remain the top priority and that he 1:17:23.160 --> 1:17:26.280 can see his children whenever he wants. And they said 1:17:26.320 --> 1:17:28.280 she's moving on and having a lot of fun. At 1:17:28.360 --> 1:17:30.720 this stage in her life, she feels like she is 1:17:30.760 --> 1:17:33.800 already divorced. And they are at a standstill currently, and 1:17:33.920 --> 1:17:35.920 neither of them are pushing to make their split official 1:17:35.920 --> 1:17:37.919 at this point in time. There's no rush for paperwork 1:17:37.960 --> 1:17:40.880 to be finalized. Okay, Chris just passed the phone to Kim. 1:17:41.000 --> 1:17:44.519 That was Kim, just now, So Chris Chris Kim, and 1:17:44.600 --> 1:17:47.120 then Kim started whispering and said that second part. Okay, 1:17:47.160 --> 1:17:50.280 we got it. They all these sources telling all these 1:17:50.320 --> 1:17:54.320 different mainstream outlets all right. Lebron says he wants to 1:17:54.400 --> 1:17:56.960 create an album, he said on social media. My love 1:17:57.040 --> 1:17:59.000 for music is insane. I think I'm going to do 1:17:59.080 --> 1:18:01.560 an album. No, I won't be rapping or anything like that. 1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:03.920 I'm not crazy. I know what I'm great at. But 1:18:03.960 --> 1:18:05.880 I tell you one thing, I do have so many 1:18:05.960 --> 1:18:08.920 friends that can thinking out loud. Yeah, that'd be hope. 1:18:08.960 --> 1:18:10.719 I think that would be dope. We put together a complicate, 1:18:10.800 --> 1:18:13.839 A complict. I was gonna say complication, A compilation, complicated 1:18:16.560 --> 1:18:21.280 NBA all Odyssey supports. I think that'd be dope. All right, now, 1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:23.720 Nicky Jam when he was on the Breakfast Club, he 1:18:23.920 --> 1:18:26.519 was excited to talk about his wedding. He was planning 1:18:26.560 --> 1:18:31.040 to get married to his fiance and you know they 1:18:31.760 --> 1:18:35.519 got engaged on Valentine's Day last year. Well, and here 1:18:35.560 --> 1:18:38.120 he is on the Breakfast Club talking about his upcoming wedding. 1:18:38.479 --> 1:18:41.719 Where's the wedding going to be? We're thinking about Malibu 1:18:42.160 --> 1:18:46.599 in LA. You know what I'm saying to y'all, Yeah, 1:18:46.640 --> 1:18:48.080 I mean, y'all want to go? You know what I'm saying, 1:18:48.200 --> 1:18:49.720 just being I know Charlet Main's not gonna go over. 1:18:49.800 --> 1:18:52.040 They're like, ain't going. I know that wedding is gonna 1:18:52.040 --> 1:18:56.400 be amazing. I like it all right. Well, now he's 1:18:56.439 --> 1:18:59.360 single A year later, I guess it's not happening anymore. 1:18:59.479 --> 1:19:01.719 He said in an interview that they're no longer together. 1:19:01.800 --> 1:19:04.879 He said the situation of the pandemic of quarantine affected 1:19:04.920 --> 1:19:06.600 the situation a bit. And the truth is it just 1:19:06.720 --> 1:19:09.679 didn't work out. There a lot of things involved different culture, languages, 1:19:09.920 --> 1:19:11.920 many little things that at the end it just didn't 1:19:11.960 --> 1:19:16.040 work out. So oh, and I'm excited for this. Regina 1:19:16.160 --> 1:19:19.559 King is going to produce and star as Shirley chishom 1:19:19.640 --> 1:19:22.160 and a biopic that's directed by John Ridley. I am 1:19:22.200 --> 1:19:23.920 so excited because I feel like we all need to 1:19:23.920 --> 1:19:26.600 see Shirley Chisholm story on that big screen, and so 1:19:26.720 --> 1:19:28.439 now it's going to happen. And there are several different 1:19:28.439 --> 1:19:31.519 projects focused on her. She was the first black woman 1:19:31.960 --> 1:19:34.160 in the Senate and she also had launch of nineteen 1:19:34.200 --> 1:19:37.400 seventy two presidential campaign, which was historical at that time. 1:19:38.080 --> 1:19:40.160 And now they're doing a movie on her. So that's 1:19:40.200 --> 1:19:43.000 gonna be really dope, all of them. But Shirley Chishm, 1:19:43.040 --> 1:19:45.880 I think, is so amazing and she's from Brooklyn, so yeah, 1:19:45.920 --> 1:19:47.960 you gotta get it right. You know what I'm saying, 1:19:48.040 --> 1:19:52.240 because you know Judas and The Black Messiah hit hard definite. 1:19:52.240 --> 1:19:53.840 When you do those type of films on you know, 1:19:54.000 --> 1:19:57.280 great black icons, you gotta get them right.

Today, 1:20:38.080 --> 1:20:40.920 I want to honor and celebrate a man who has 1:20:40.960 --> 1:20:43.000 become a friend of mine. I'm glad to be able 1:20:43.040 --> 1:20:45.360 to call him an oge. I'm talking about none of 1:20:45.439 --> 1:20:49.560 them than doctor Claude Anderson. Earlier in the show, we 1:20:49.640 --> 1:20:52.519 had Erica Alexander and Whitney down on to talk about 1:20:52.760 --> 1:20:55.680 their podcast that just launched today called The Big Paybackers 1:20:55.720 --> 1:20:58.920 on the Black Effect iHeartRadio podcast network available everywhere you 1:20:59.040 --> 1:21:01.519 listen to podcasts now, and the conversation is about what 1:21:01.720 --> 1:21:05.200 black people are old economically in this country. And yesterday 1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:07.559 we had a shot in Troy on from the Earn 1:21:07.640 --> 1:21:11.439 Your Leisure podcast talking about, you know, financial literacy and 1:21:12.000 --> 1:21:15.280 in the black community, financial empowerment because financial freedom might 1:21:15.360 --> 1:21:18.200 be our only hope. Okay, and doctor Claude Anderson has 1:21:18.200 --> 1:21:21.200 been on the forefront of that conversation forever. If you've 1:21:21.320 --> 1:21:24.719 never read Power Nomics, his book, you need to because 1:21:24.760 --> 1:21:30.000 he describes black economic empowerment as building a proverbial structure 1:21:30.280 --> 1:21:33.160 with multiple floors. Let's listen to when he was on 1:21:33.240 --> 1:21:36.719 The Breakfast Club breaking it down. The Breakfast Club presents 1:21:37.040 --> 1:21:41.040 a new Black History Month legend. This is my power 1:21:41.120 --> 1:21:43.200 Nomics plan. I'm giving you the power and I'm playing 1:21:43.240 --> 1:21:46.120 out one I gave you about the social construct. The 1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:47.559 second thing I want you to do is the man 1:21:48.040 --> 1:21:51.919 that there'll be a permanent office for made Black Affairs 1:21:52.400 --> 1:21:55.320 established in the White House, which means any asia goals down. 1:21:55.360 --> 1:21:57.200 You got a piece of person sitting there with where 1:21:57.200 --> 1:21:59.800 the president is that I saw dictating what your needs 1:21:59.800 --> 1:22:02.160 are and what kind of what your resources needs are. 1:22:02.560 --> 1:22:04.160 That's the second thing. The third thing I want you 1:22:04.160 --> 1:22:07.280 to be able to demand that black now that we 1:22:07.439 --> 1:22:09.799 have a I have a power nomics plan for setting 1:22:09.880 --> 1:22:12.200 up jobs in the United States for black vote. I 1:22:12.280 --> 1:22:15.639 want them to build a southern high speed rail system 1:22:16.000 --> 1:22:19.160 in the South that would run from Atlanta, Georgia to Dallas, Texas. 1:22:19.400 --> 1:22:21.160 It'll run at one hundred and fifty miles an hour, 1:22:21.240 --> 1:22:24.120 take you from Atlanta, Georgia to Dallas, Texas. That you 1:22:24.200 --> 1:22:26.960 build businesses around those centers. This is for the black 1:22:27.080 --> 1:22:30.080 vote because that's that's called a southern black belt, running 1:22:30.120 --> 1:22:32.160 from from from the east coast to the west coast. 1:22:32.720 --> 1:22:34.000 The fourth thing I want you to do is to 1:22:34.120 --> 1:22:36.840 also tell them to the knowledge before they start bringing 1:22:36.880 --> 1:22:38.519 in the more immigrants in this country, tell them that 1:22:38.920 --> 1:22:42.479 require Congress, that Congress do an examination or the negative 1:22:42.520 --> 1:22:46.439 impact that immigration has owned black vote. Nobody ever makes 1:22:46.600 --> 1:22:50.080 that point. They're only people that's that's damage and injured 1:22:50.360 --> 1:22:52.640 by immigrants coming in this country is black vote. And 1:22:53.080 --> 1:22:55.080 the next point is this that I want you to 1:22:55.160 --> 1:22:58.320 extabish a focusing on the reparations for black folk in 1:22:58.360 --> 1:23:00.759 the country and the question they keep the white school, 1:23:01.080 --> 1:23:03.080 where's the money going to? It should be set up 1:23:03.120 --> 1:23:05.719 in what we call I would call regional distribution banks 1:23:06.360 --> 1:23:09.240 where black folk and bar had money to start businesses 1:23:09.640 --> 1:23:11.519 in those in the major black urban areas in the 1:23:11.600 --> 1:23:14.360 United States. Every major and black cities, you should get 1:23:14.360 --> 1:23:17.640 about five or six of them should have a reparations 1:23:17.720 --> 1:23:20.479 bank there. That's what I want now for reparations funds. 1:23:20.520 --> 1:23:22.360 And don't be worried about how much money with each 1:23:22.439 --> 1:23:24.479 black person getting off, I want to put into a 1:23:24.560 --> 1:23:28.640 special revolve revolving loan fund where Blacks can ball that 1:23:28.760 --> 1:23:31.479 money and be able to start businesses in those are 1:23:31.600 --> 1:23:35.320 those urban areas. And that was another New Black History 1:23:35.360 --> 1:23:38.920 Month legend courtesy of the Breakfast Club. That's right once again, 1:23:39.000 --> 1:23:41.200 go grab power.
