I know there was some construction 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.120 which made me mix lefts and rights and try to 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.080 go already I had to go like around three blocks 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:45.440 to get here. 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:47.440 Well, I think we should tell people at least what 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:50.000 happened to Wallow and Gilly before they you know, before 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:50.800 they think something else. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.120 No, I just we got to explain the full story. 0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.920 And I don't have all the details, and I don't 0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:56.160 want to do it. I did they have a tragic 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.200 loss in it. I had a tragic losses. We'll talk 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:03.120 about it later. Yeah, yes, all right, Well there was 0:01:03.160 --> 0:01:05.600 I didn't see no construction. That was construction where you 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.280 just you drove right up the block. When I dropped 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:07.720 the block. 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:09.679 To block, well, I saw the construction, so I went 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:11.280 the other way. You drove down the block. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.920 I was listening to music, vibing out, and I wasn't 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.720 paying attention until I got to the constructions. Right By 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:18.840 that point, it was too late. And then I saw 0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:19.560 that two blocks away. 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.600 Because I saw all the blue lights, I was like, okay, 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.360 something made right. So clearly I made a left and 0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.240 there was cars backing up. So that told me all 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.920 I needed to know not to go down that road. 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:30.760 I'm blaming on that type of person. You're the type 0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.720 of person that see the trouble ahead and still you 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.840 know what you are that type of person. See, that's 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:35.240 the difference. 0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.200 I saw it coming two blocks away and I was like, nope, 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.640 I'm gonna make the left. I blame it on Mary J. Blige. 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:41.560 I was listened to Mary J. Blige every morning. I 0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:42.640 don't blame that on marriage. 0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:45.000 I was listening to Marry. I was in my zone. 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.360 I was vibing, and then all of a sudden, I 0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.840 seen Tryson.

Okay, all right, well let's 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:57.240 get the show cracking. Of course, we got front page 0:01:57.280 --> 0:01:59.480 news with teslaing finger roll coming up, and then we 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.640 have a world premier we're about to get into. This 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:03.080 is Travis Scott. 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.520 After the World Premier and is already online. 0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.519 You gotta change his language and radio. 0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.000 Because people are just getting up right now and it's. 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.079 A world for radio is premiering it. Yes, we're on 0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:16.480 radio because it's online, it's on title. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.480 You just want to ruin everything. It's just silly. We 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.520 got to update our language, that's the problem. So what 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.919 should we say that we're playing a new record from 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.919 Travis Scott from your from your playlist to our radio. 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.160 But you can't say new record because nobody does records anymore. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.639 Well, from new song, okay, from your playlist to all radio, 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.240 from your screaming service to our radio station. 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:36.800 Something. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:40.120 How long is it? Christ it's a short song, so 0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.160 you got to call it like a snippet. 0:02:41.160 --> 0:02:42.800 Now, some people not stupid, like World. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.640 It's like it's a new song.

That's not a 0:02:58.480 --> 0:02:59.079 too commercial. 0:02:59.160 --> 0:02:59.880 That's the point. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.440 That's radio from your playlist to your radio station saying 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:06.600 world from missound insane when it's already on all the 0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:07.440 screaming services. 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.200 I don't know if I like that, but anyway, good morning, 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.560 we are to Breakfast Club. That was new music Travis Scott, 0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.440 Bad Bunny the Weekend. Now let's get in some front 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.080 page news. 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:15.960 All right. 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.400 Now, let's talk about this Florida Board of Education what 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.239 they're doing now, once again. 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.560 A Florida Board of Education is back at it again. 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.160 They have approved a new set of standards for how 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:29.079 black history should be taught in the state's public schools, 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:33.480 sparking criticism from education leaders, the teachers' union, and civil 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.280 rights advocates who said students should be allowed to learn 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:37.920 the full truth of American history. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:38.280 Now. 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:41.440 The new standards require instruction for middle school students to 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:45.880 include Listen very closely. They want to include how slaves 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:49.600 develop skills in which some instances could be applied for 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:50.800 their personal benefit. 0:03:51.320 --> 0:03:52.600 Now, Florida Department. 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.920 Of Educations, Yes, Florida Department of Education said in a statement, 0:03:56.160 --> 0:03:59.080 we are proud of the process that the Department took 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.240 to develop these standard in any attempt to reduce slaves 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:05.640 to just victims of oppression fails to recognize their strength 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.600 and courage during a difficult time. They say that Florida 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.960 students deserve to learn, deserve to know how slaves took 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:16.120 advantage of the circumstances they were in to benefit themselves. 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.479 Now Andrew Sparr, the president of the Florida Education Association, disagrees. 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:21.840 Take a listen to. 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:25.560 What both him and Vice President Harris had to say is. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.039 That old adage, if we don't learn from history, we're 0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.640 destined to repeat it. So if you are selecting what 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:34.120 you can and can't learn in our schools, as the 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.120 governor is doing right now for his own political ambitions, 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:41.159 then kids are missing out on that education they deserve 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.559 in need if they don't learn about how slavery really 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:48.120 came about. In this country and how there were attempts 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.560 to continue slavery even after the Emancipation Proclamation. If they 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:56.200 don't learn about how there was separate and unequal in 0:04:56.240 --> 0:05:01.120 our schools, which Brown verst the Board of Education reversed 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.320 and changed in how states like Florida and other states 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.760 fought against desegregation, then we're destined to repeat that. 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.040 Just yesterday in the state of Florida, they decided middle 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:17.280 school students will be taught that enslaved people benefited from slavery. 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.320 They insult us in an attempt to gaslight us, and 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.200 we will not stand for it. 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:26.640 What I don't understand is they didn't like the old 0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:30.200 standards because they said what was being taught about American 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.000 history wasn't true. Well, these new standards they created definitely 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:34.520 aren't true. 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.760 Yeah, and they taken credit for the. 0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.960 Script and methods of survival that you know, they enslaved 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:44.400 learned based off a matter of circumstance, Like nobody taught 0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:45.919 us that that was a matter of necessity. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:46.839 We had no choice. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.039 Yeah, But you know it's I hate, I mean, we 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.760 all hate all of it. But what's the solution. What 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.040 do we have to do as people to make sure 0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:55.240 that that doesn't happen. 0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:57.920 Well, this is why you have to self educate your kids. 0:05:57.960 --> 0:05:59.800 I mean, you know, as far as the legislation, yeah, 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.080 you can push back against that, but I never, you know, 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.440 looked for any of these schools and institutions to teach 0:06:04.520 --> 0:06:07.840 my beautiful black daughters what they actually should know. Same 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.800 thing with us. Like, you know, I'd learned so much 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.640 about black history by you know, doing my. 0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:14.320 Own reading, reading at home and research at home. I 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.240 never learning of that in school. Yeah, but it's just 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:18.400 now where we hopefully put our arms around the church 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:19.960 and try to get more people in the church and 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:24.000 do classes after maybe church or yeah, Like I'm just saying, 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:27.200 because that's where a huge place where where black people 0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.400 and black families go to. How about your home, Well, 0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:30.920 besides the home, a lot of a lot of people 0:06:30.960 --> 0:06:32.760 don't know the education right and a lot of lot 0:06:32.800 --> 0:06:35.680 of people don't. 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:36.560 You can't get the autography of Malcolm X. You can't 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.040 go get message to the black but I can't get 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.160 the mis education of the negro. 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:41.719 But a lot of people are working so hard and 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.560 they don't have time to do anything. They don't have time. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:48.520 Everybody doesn't have time to do this and get well, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.920 let's beak. Some of these kids live in shelters, guys, 0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.600 So everybody that is not in a home. 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.600 You know, the public school system is not made up 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.680 of people that have everybody everything. 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:59.960 That's in the books that they need to these shelter 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:00.880 is why. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.080 That's what I'm asking, That's what I'm saying. What's the 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:06.440 solution isn't sending books to the shelter. Choice I'm not 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:06.880 going to do. 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.800 How y'all always reduce black people to the lowest problem. 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.040 No, that's no. 0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.800 Well, hell on one second, No, that's not that's ridiculous. 0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.040 It's not reducing to the lowest. That is just one solution, 0:07:20.120 --> 0:07:22.720 first solution, and school board members are elected. So that's 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.360 first things first, This is why it's important that local 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:27.160 and state elections matter. We spend a lot of time 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:29.680 talking about federal but people need to really get involved 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:31.560 and make sure they have the person that they want 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:35.520 actually representing them. Secondly, no, Charlemagne. Of course we teach 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:37.760 self talk, but there's some people that didn't start reading 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.240 books and didn't start getting engaged into their thirties and forties. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.920 So when we talk about the collective and overall, and 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:44.640 how do we take care of children that may not 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:47.760 have parents, Parents that may be struggling, parents that work 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.880 a lot that just may not know how to teach 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:50.400 their children. 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.640 Parent household that where a mother or father's reading two 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:55.320 three jobs, and when they come home they don't have 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.240 time to teach, or don't have time to read, or 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.120 don't have time for it. My whole thing is, well, 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.320 what's the solution. How do we make sure that all 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:03.720 these students out here understand history? How do we make 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:05.800 sure that parents understand the history? 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.040 Well, it's talk by encouraging people to read. 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.600 That's number one, okay, And I don't know about y'all, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.880 but no matter how poor we were growing up in 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.320 a single word trailer in Mons Corner, South Carolina, my 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.160 father and my mother was always putting the book in 0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:17.520 my face. 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:18.679 It was some form of literature. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:21.920 Your mother was a teacher, though, teaching, So it's a 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:24.640 lot that I had to I had old either ROMI, 0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:26.360 who were always encouraging me to read. We should, okay, 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.320 encourage our people to educate themselves. 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:31.720 We are reading that Can. 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:32.080 It be one? 0:08:32.240 --> 0:08:34.360 Can it be? Can it be more than one? Answer? 0:08:34.360 --> 0:08:34.520 Though? 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.040 This is but don't just state that kids can get 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:38.200 access to books. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.920 Nobody, nobody just kids can't get access to books. I'm 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:42.960 asking what's the solution. We talk about the problems all 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:44.640 the time, but what's the solution? How do we help? 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.920 How do we make sure that a community of people 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:49.240 can help and can teach Because a lot of our education, 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.480 a lot of our history, I didn't learn until I 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.120 was a lot older. So if I didn't learn it 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:54.400 when I was a lot older, when I mean a 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.320 lot older, I was in my thirties and started learning 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:58.840 a lot of our education and I went to an HBCU. 0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:00.560 So the fact that a lot of these people, a 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.160 lot of these parents won't have the time and opportunity too. 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.200 So as a community, how do we make sure that 0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:08.120 these kids have that the community knowledge. Now that we 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.080 know better, we do better. 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:11.960 But there there's never been a time where, you know, 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.640 I don't care how poor we were growing up, somebody 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:15.960 was giving me a piece of literature. 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:16.360 They were. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:19.120 Were educating our health through music. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:21.040 You had you had a rappers telling us to read 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.040 certain books and certain literature when we was young. Yeah, 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:24.560 but then we could talk about mental health while some 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.120 people really didn't understand mental health to our until thirty 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.600 forty years old, or even with financial literacy. A lot 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.200 of people don't know about financial literacy, don't know about investor, 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:34.440 don't know about accounting, don't know about any of that stuff. 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:36.440 And a lot of people get that knowledge from school. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.520 But that's things that we can't be self taught because 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:40.600 we didn't know it, we don't understand it. But now 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.080 we're figuring out how that we can teach. But people 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.560 don't know the books that you're talking about, so we 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:44.920 have to. 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:47.520 Get That's why we talk about them, that's why we 0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:48.120 reference that. 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:48.320 Right. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.040 But it's more than right, but exactly so, dj An, 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.720 to answer your question, I hope that programs are actually created. 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:57.000 So for example, I did a whole podcast about it 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.000 where the NAACP was discouraging people to come to Florida, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.880 and I was saying, I wish they would spend time 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:06.360 on developing an actual program to supplement what they're taking 0:10:06.360 --> 0:10:08.160 out of the school system. So you're right, DJ, it 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:12.760 actually requires a program, right. 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.480 They got the book program. Now does that mean that the. 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:18.240 Literacy literacy rate is terrible in Black and Brothers? 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:18.440 Right? 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.600 So that's to the point of saying, it's not that 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:22.400 people are not encouraging people to read. It's not that 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.600 people are not giving people books. The bottom line is 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.000 how do we get them to do it? And what 0:10:26.120 --> 0:10:28.920 DJV is saying, how can we develop programs to be 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.800 able to say, hey, this is what we want our 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:31.360 children to know. 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.240 I want another point. I want to point something else 0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:33.640 out here. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:37.680 Elementary school teachers, the elementary students, they're being taught just 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.440 to recognize who Rosa Park is and Zill Hurston. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.839 They're not even being taught what they did in history. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:45.200 They just want to recognize just their photo. So this 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:46.559 is a real issue. 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.040 And that goes back to my original point about how 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:53.000 we have to self educate our children at home. Any 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.680 of these white institutions to teach my kids about black history, 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.640 I've never. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:57.840 But that's great. 0:10:57.880 --> 0:10:59.480 Well, we have to take care of the collective that 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.480 don't have parents that think the way that you do. 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.800 And you've been blessed, but everybody doesn't have the opportunity. 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:05.720 I learned that way. 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.720 I didn't teach before I was teaching my kids that 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.840 people were putting that in me. That's something that the 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.520 ottom of Minister Little Fire con Elijah, Muhammad, dodtr Marnineuther 0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:15.280 King Junior, Malcolm Max, any great black leader we can name. 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.520 Marcus Garvey was telling us to stelf educate our kids. 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.360 Right, you're blessed. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:23.040 That is front page news.

Everybody ain't got the same situations Like, yeah, 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.160 they got books, but a lot of them can't read. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:23.720 And it ain't even. 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.760 A matter of you know, well they got this and 0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.160 they got that. You know, we could put it in 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.680 their hands. We got a tough teach. If they don't 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.000 have the people around them, then what fader or got 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.640 the knowledges on peach? How can they play expects onto 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.120 the next kid. But it's not a matter of saying, 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:41.880 you know, were making a huge form, but we're trying 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.760 to you know, read them to the lower standard the 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.040 reality situation and then learn more because they don't know 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:48.600 what themselves. 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:51.800 Well, that's two different conversations. Talking about the low literacy 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:54.360 rates and talking about people not being able to read 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:56.719 and being able to have access to books is two 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:57.520 different things. 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.680 We were talking about that we're talking about that access 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.640 the books. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:05.120 But nobody is pushing them to get to the books 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:08.360 because those people don't have let me you know, you've 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.880 got people who started reading so they was my age. 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:13.520 Well, let me ask you one other question. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.840 Right, you say that I'm generalizing based off my experience, 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.320 aren't you generalizing based off your experiences too? 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.040 No, I'm not generalized I'm saying as a whole, there's 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:27.079 the reality of people. There's people that have the access 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.120 and there's people that don't have the access. But I 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:33.160 don't get everybody together and say, you know, because you 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:35.760 know that they have the access, that you know they're 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:37.720 wrong that they're not pushing their kids. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:37.880 To do it. 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.800 Listen, you're absolutely Ever we're still having two different conversations. 0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:43.560 I'm talking about the access to books. Everybody has access 0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:45.000 to books. We can give them the books. Now, when 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.960 you talk about low literacy rates, that's a whole different conversation. 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:49.800 Yeah, people have access to book but you have to 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.400 be encouraged to want to read books. And that's the problem. 0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:55.000 A lot of times we don't encourage to read books. Yeah, 0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.400 he had all those those book at programs and all 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.440 those different programs, but as a kid, I never wanted 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:01.480 to read a book. I never wanted to I'd rather 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.800 be playing sports. I was playing basketball and baseball and swimming, 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:07.319 and there was really my mother encouraged me, but I 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:09.200 didn't want to do it. I would rather be outside. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.440 Some kids have more encouragement and was able to knowledge. 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:15.040 Even with that, you gotta have your grades up. I 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:16.880 could never play sports because my grades was messed up. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:18.640 So even with that you got, you still got to 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.840 push education, is what I'm saying. Even if you still 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.960 want to play sports in school, you still got to 0:14:22.960 --> 0:14:25.920 push your education. And we had education. I mean we 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:29.080 were no we. I mean I passed classes and that 0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.600 was able for me to do things. But I wasn't 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:33.680 a reader at that age. I read more when I 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.560 got older, But when I was a young kid, I 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.320 did not want to read. I'd rather be outside of 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:40.400 the sports. And the only time I honestly read was 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.520 you know, in the summer time where you had to 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:43.800 read to do them book reports. 0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:44.120 I was. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.400 I was that kid that I only read when I 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.640 had But you know, but you knew how to read people. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.360 But just now the whole other conversation, you got to 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.400 encourage me. So like the difference between us and them 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.680 is when I was a kid listening to radio, there 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.280 was nobody on the radio saying, hey, you got should 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.840 read that. Where somebody can call up here and you 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:02.760 can say, you know what. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:04.680 Read this bottle of that book, Read this book. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.440 Read. Tom Joyner was definitely Tom Joyner was one of 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.200 the biggest pushes of HBCUs mine was at Lover and 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:16.240 Doctor Dre in New York. But I'm telling you what's up, y'all? 0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:17.800 What's what you got to say? Who's on the plane 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.760 with least Andre? It was totally different. The breakfast club 0:15:24.440 --> 0:15:27.720 owning everybody. It's the j n G. Charlamagne, the God. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:29.680 We are the breakfast Club. Let's get to the room, 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:30.880 let's let's talk. Gilly to. 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.440 Call out name or you've got chatting? 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:39.640 Is the rumor report? 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.040 I mean, I guess we're on the breakfast club. This 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.120 is where the tea spells right right now for uh, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.160 everybody out there that doesn't know. Gilly and Wallow were 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:49.560 actually supposed to guess co host this morning. 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:51.400 They're supposed to be here this morning. 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.480 They talk about everything that they got going on, and 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:57.080
