I can never I 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:13.920 can never hear a little Rock offica and I think 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:17.920 about Gang banging in a little Remember that old documentary 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.120 from that. I remember after it actually went to a 0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.480 Little Rock one time with Sway. He had a conference 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:25.400 out there and Little Rock oukusas did anybody get shot? No? 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.960 I always expect that when I see documentaries that showcase 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:31.880 the street life to gangster life of a city. Always 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.040 expect that when you go there, somebody's gonna get shot too. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.600 But there's always two sides. That's a shame that people 0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:40.240 think that just because there's one documentary. It's like that, 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:42.520 what do you think the documentary is gonna what kind 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.959 of image of the city? You think documentary is gonna 0:01:44.959 --> 0:01:48.040 putting somebody's head gang banging in Little Rock? Of course? 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.880 Good morning to our friends in uh Arkansas, good morning, Yes, 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:55.880 good morning, Yes, salute a little bit. And they probably 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:58.480 hate the fact that documentary painted that picture them all 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.160 those years. I'm sure they get that all the time. 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.840 But did anybody watch the VMAs? Yes? I watched part 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.440 of it. In parts of it, I was gonna go, 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:05.880 but I was tired. Man. Plus I don't like to 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.200 go in the way without my wife, so she's eight 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.960 months pregnant and big as hell. Then you went and 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.359 you posted your badge and everything I did. I did 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.040 post my badge that that move. No, I didn't post 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.280 it like I was because I posted it earlier in 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:19.440 afternoon and I said, so this is gonna be fun tonight. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.400 But it's Biscuit actually took a picture of my badge 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.240 and put his name on it. Go to his page. 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:26.880 He photoshopped his name on it. But small Man, Yeah, 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.359 I know. I heard they always like, do not post 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.000 any of the badges. Are credential post the ball cold 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.720 okay on the badge? Yes, But I thought the VMA 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.799 is very white. It amazes me. Very white. Every year, 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.760 the VMA's finds a way to be whiter and whiter. Yeah, 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:44.120 but I feel like they also don't really play music 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:49.160 on MTV, So the VMA, yeah, like it's getting less 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:51.680 about I don't know if artists really cared that much 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.639 about it, just because they don't even play music. Yeah, 0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.600 it's not getting less about music, it's just getting They 0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:58.440 just find a way to make it wider and whiter 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.480 every year. But even the people, like I was, I 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.840 was watching the people in the audience, it seemed like 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:06.360 less people about music and more people about reality shows 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.760 and stuff. Like that. I mean, all of that plays 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.320 a part in the culture. But I understand what you're saying, 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.520 but it's a viacom thing. So they have VH one, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.000 they have MTV, they have BT and it's mostly reality. 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:16.919 They got to feel the seats. I mean, you know, 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280 if if if child is again be not coming and 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.440 the Carter's not coming, then they got to feel the seats. 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:26.760 No Kendrick, no Cole, no Drake, got to put the 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:28.919 fire there, get you. The cast of Love and Hip 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:33.400 Hop Atlanta on Miami, New Orleans, Lower Rock, New York. Good, 0:03:33.480 --> 0:03:38.000 whatever they're doing and post Malon and Arrowsmith was the 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.320 most mannaise filled mash up I've ever seen in my 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:44.400 goddamn like. I love Arrowsmith, Okay, I didn't see when 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:45.880 I seen, I think he's walking out where he had 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.360 like smiley faces all on the suit. That was the 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.760 last performance of the night, and immediately after that performance, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:53.640 they went into a Rifa Franklin rspect which I did 0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.040 not understand that. I wasn't ready for that transition. You 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.240 can't give me all that mannaise and didn't say here's 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:01.360 some sweet potatoes to go with it. You know. Madonna, 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.360 she represented right. No, she did not fart all over 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:09.640 Madonna's Oh my goodness, I didn't see that, but I 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.680 read that she was just giving the video Music Video 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.320 Music Video Award of the Year or whatever. She took 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.360 some time to talk about her No, no, she did 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.120 a whole thing about a refa before they had a 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:22.960 refa backdrop behind Madonna and Madonna be coming out. They're 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:24.599 paying how much to the But it was all about 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.960 I was confused because she started and she was like, yeah. 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.680 When I was going into uh, you know, to try 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.880 out to sing, I had to pick a song. I'm like, 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:34.800 where's this going? Lost me? What's it going? They said, 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:36.520 little girls, shut up, and I said, no, I'm not 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.120 gonna shut up because I'm a Donna. I was like, 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.159 where's this going? I didn't get it. Where's this going 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.800 get And there's no there's nobody that can make me 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.920 believe Madonna blew people away with an acapella rendition of 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.240 you make me feel like a natural woman. There's no 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:51.640 whole body that's gonna make me believe that. Okay, yes, exactly. 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.640 And it seems like Charlemagne's getting Sucker of the Day. 0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:59.120 What the Sucker of the Day? That's why I think 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.640 that you ca sucker. Yeah yeah, I don't want to 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:04.520 say the word.

I don't know 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.520 what the f she'd be wilding for. Okay, she got 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.680 the number two albums in the country. I write one 0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:14.359 hundred and eighty five dollar record. So she won an 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.080 award last night. I was surprised. I was like, you 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.719 would an award, You go up there, a great performance, 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.440 great performance, like you got a lot to be smiling 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:23.320 for what you'd be wilding for?

Went on a Twitter 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:31.640 rant yesterday saying talking about politics and said that the 0:05:31.640 --> 0:05:33.880 only reason Nicki Minad won this award is because she 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.880 performed there, because there's no way that she should have 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.719 been Best Hip Hop Artists for Drake Jay Coole, the Carters, 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.520 Themigos and Cardi B.

Don't think she should have 0:05:46.600 --> 0:05:47.960 got it. I asked you, how do you think that 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.040 she got it because she performed at the VMAs I 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.320 stuff like that. How do they decide who wins the 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.920 VMAs by who's sitting in the audience. That's what I think. 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:02.279 I'm sorry that you know, Chunley just came out of Chile. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:06.600 Wasn't beginning in my feelings, Drake jen Cole, Cardi B 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:11.000 Cardy B the Carters Andy.

The 0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.440 mother was told the hairstyle was not in compliance, and 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.360 she did a me to change her child's hair.

Man, I'm telling you, I got, you know, 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.040 a beautiful black daughter in a school with a bunch 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.880 of white people.

I am the father that screams at all 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.360 the white kids and tells the parents, tell your kids, 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:24.720 keep your your other hands on my child's hair. Please. Yeah, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:26.280 we're gonna have that problem with logan in a couple 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.200 of weeks because Logan has corn rolls, and I think 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.880 the school that he's going to doesn't allow um those 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:34.439 type of head allow corn rolls, yeah, because they want, 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:36.640 like you said, like natural type of hairs. But is 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:38.760 your natural hair? Corn rose? Is your natural?

What you know it's crazy 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:46.440 is that her hair looks really cute and beautiful. She 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.960 just has some added here and sometimes to have braids, 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:51.679 people add here onto their braids to braid your hair. 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:55.920 The protect anxiety even just thinking about that kind of stuff. 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:57.719 But we see was gaping it.

But anyway, this mass tender 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.360 date actually turned out to be a marketing stent. Imagine 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.640 that a tender user told you to meet her at 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.079 Union Square. Then when you get there, hundreds of men 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.960 are there as well. Well. It was a marketing stunt 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.679 for this marketing agency. It's the same agency that did 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.560 hitting camera footage of a woman being cat called as 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:20.240 she walked around New York City. She walked around for 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.040 ten hours for an anti harassment clip that happened back 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:26.520 in twenty fourteen now, and this one. A woman who's 0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.600 a model and an actress invited man that she met 0:09:28.640 --> 0:09:31.400 on tender to that public area to meet, and when 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.800 the guys got there, she got on stage and said 0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.000 they were all there to date her. And people started 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:39.440 getting dismissed based on not meeting a certain criteria, like 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.800 half of you are in relationships, so those people should 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.440 leave now, is the first thing that happened. Then they said, 0:09:45.800 --> 0:09:47.920 because they said, statistically people who are on dating app 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.760 half of them are in relationships already. The first elimination 0:09:50.920 --> 0:09:54.320 was if you think you support Trump, then leave and 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.400 data Puerto Rican then you can leave. If anyone's a 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:58.520 tourist or doesn't live in this country, you should leave too. 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.600 Also anyone named I don't enjoy the name Jimmy. Those 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.199 people had to leave. Man with beer bellies, long beers, Khakis, 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.280 and Time Choose were dismissed as well, And that's when 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.800 state the remainders had to compete in a running race. 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:13.960 But they said they haven't revealed what the whole project is, 0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:18.320 but on Thursday Fast, on Thursday, they're gonna let you 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:22.280 know exactly what the host done is. All right, well, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.640 last front page news. Now, usually we do get it 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.400 off your chess, but we got a special guest joining us. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.320 We're gonna kick it in a couple of minutes. Natasha 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.200 s out for from the Grio. Tell the people who 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.280 she is and what she did recently. That was pretty big. 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.360 But Natasha's a deputy editor at the Grio, and she 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:40.439 interviewed I'm a Rosa. Was the first She was the 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:43.679 first black outlet to interview I'm a Rosa at the Grio, 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:45.320 and there was a lot that she had to go 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.640 through to make this interview happen. So it'll be interesting 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.000 to hear her point of view on what you had 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.720 to say about the whole behind the scenes activity to 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:54.080 even get that interview happening. All right, we'll get into 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.040 that next keeping lock don't worry. We're gonna be talking 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.959 about the VMA's this morning and Morison don't move and 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.800 Charlemagne really and of the day, keeping this breakfast club. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.800 What does the c sucker of the day. What we're 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:10.880 gonna find out the breakfast club morning? Everybody is DJ 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:14.800 Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the breakfast club. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.600 We gotta special guests in the building. Yes, Sir, Natasha 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.440 s Altford, good morning, good morning, what's up? Good morning? 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:23.760 How are you? I'm doing wonderful. How are you right? 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:25.840 And now we report it on you last week, Natasha, 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.480 because you were the first black outlet who did an 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.040 interview with Ama Rosa about her book. Have you read 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.520 her book? I have, She gave me a copy. I 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.000 didn't read the entire thing, and sometimes that happens. They 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:38.679 dropped the book on you with very little notice, so 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.720 that way they can kind of frame how they want 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.520 the interview to go. But I read excerpts and really 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.760 the focus of the book is she's talking about her journey, 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.800 but she's using what happened in the Trump White House 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:51.800 to basically sell her story as well. But you had 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.600 enough material to do an interview. Oh, definitely, definitely. I 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:57.840 mean the whole news media jumped all over. Anytime you 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.199 have recordings, anytime you're talking about race, that's going to 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.560 be a national story. But it was important for me 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.400 to make sure that black press was in the conversation 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:10.040 because you know, the first places she went, CBS, NBC, 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:13.400 all those big places, and it's like, you're using the 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.760 black community as part of your platform. You're saying that 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:17.760 you were advocating for us the whole time in the 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.920 White House, so therefore you should be talking to black 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:24.160 people directly about what your experience. She can't do that 0:12:24.200 --> 0:12:26.080 because she know that US black people will tell her 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.360 she's fullish, And the white outlets can't do that. The 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:33.400 white outlets mainstream, I guess is the politically correct term 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.120 to use. But the mainstream news outlets, obviously their focus 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.640 is Donald Trump anytime they can get some dirt on him. 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.240 It's like, how much did you record? How many tapes 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.560 do you have? Are you talking to Robert Muller? And 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.040 I had a feeling that they weren't going to ask 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.240 the questions that I wanted to know, which was, what 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:52.640 was the whole point of doing this? Did you accomplish 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.040 anything for the black community? Why did it take you 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:57.800 so long to say that Donald Trump was a racist 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.640 when many people have already agreed that that's that's sort 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:05.160 of the agreement that things that he's he said are racist. 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:07.719 And also just like, what was the point of this 0:13:07.920 --> 0:13:11.280 entire endeavor for books? Right? But going to the wire, 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:13.240 about being in the White House was big now. She 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.040 said that she didn't realize how bad it was because 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.080 you know, when you're really close to something and you 0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:21.439 can't see from a different point of view because it's 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.400 happening right there next to you, I guess kind of thing. Yeah, 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.400 She said that she had a blind spot for Donald 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.360 Trump and that she really felt like they had a 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.280 genuine relationship fourteen years. Think about it, we didn't know 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:34.280 Omarosa from anything in the beginning, even though she had 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.439 worked in the White House before. It was The Apprentice 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.720 that really launched her. And so you have Donald Trump 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:42.360 and Omarossa using each other in a way to boost 0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.000 their profile. And that's that's how she built her career, 0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:47.360 and so he was doing favors for her. She says 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.400 it in the book that her career flourished because of him, 0:13:50.559 --> 0:13:53.040 and so therefore she kept her loyalty to him, but 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.520 there were trade offs in the process. This is like 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.680 it's a transactional thing. She has an agenda. It's clear 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:00.680 she wants to sell books. We want to tell the 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.760 story of where do you stand with the black community? 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.680 So she comes in there like you have twelve minutes 0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:07.520 her husband and her book people sit right there in 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:09.240 front of me. You don't see that on the camera, 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.240 but they are right there. And then we just we 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:13.800 go in and we start asking questions. And I knew 0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:15.800 there were three things I wanted to ask. Why did 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:17.560 it take so long for you to call Donald Trump 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:20.880 a racist? What did you actually accomplish for the black community? 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:23.000 And what do you say to people in the black 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.360 community who feel like you betrayed them? And I think 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.880 when I asked her those questions, she was like, okay, 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.000 and you know, gave the answer that I'm sure that 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560 she prepared and thought about. But I wanted to get 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:34.280 her on the record, and then I wanted to leave 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.040 it to black people to decide how they felt. You know, 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:40.680 we all feel different, but the majority of people read 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.680 the Grio are like Nazis, like, you're not coming back 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:45.880 to the bar. You know why because you didn't do 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:52.120 a good thanks. But I would respect her if she 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.720 had quit, you know what. She was in the White 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:56.960 House recording all these people and then she quit and 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.840 then revealed it. Then she's like this spook who sat 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:01.560 by the door. You got fired, man, like, like you 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.720 didn't quit, like and you was dealing with Donald Trumps 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:07.520 Celebrity Apprentice, Right, and that question, You're absolutely right about 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.800 the timing thing because when she quit, she went on 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.800 ABC with Deva Robertson said she didn't even quit, well, right, 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.400 she she resigned, she said, but then then it came 0:15:16.400 --> 0:15:20.560 out that she quit. She said, he's not racist, he's racial. Right, 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.960 So there was so I believe this is now, this 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.440 is my opinion. She was like, there's still a benefit 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:29.200 to me being cool with him, but if he switches 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:31.920 up on me, if there's something that I can't get, 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.760 then then I'm basically, you know, releasing all the tapes. 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:37.720 So I believe we're looking at somebody who's a masterful 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:43.080 media communicator, Like she's very skilled, and she basically is 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.440 using the things that she learned from Donald Trump to 0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:47.400 get back at Donald Trump. This whole thing is a 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:49.680 big game of Celebrity Apprentice. I think I think it's 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:51.720 a big game. We have more with Natasha from the 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.320 Grill when we come back. Keep it locked. As to 0:15:53.320 --> 0:16:00.640 Breakfast Club, good morning, the Breakfast Club. Everybody is DJ Envy, 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.640 Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:06.080 from the Grill, We have Natasha as Alfred in the building. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.960 It what'sn't legality of taping the president? Like, I didn't 0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:10.880 think you could just do that. I don't know, but 0:16:11.000 --> 0:16:12.760 you can't. You're not even supposed to bring in any 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:15.680 type of devices or even your phone. Well, that's why 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:17.720 they are upset, But that's why people are also like, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:19.800 what type of White House is this? You can be 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.640 in this situation room just recording whatever Hart takes your phone, 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.240 but the White House don't like that's crazy. And he's 0:16:26.240 --> 0:16:28.160 still mad about getting kicked out of a Kevin Hart show. 0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:33.000 I'm sure she'll be facing some type of legality though. Yeah, 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:35.960 Well they filed arbitration against her the Donald Trump campaign, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.520 and so you saw in my interview and other interviews 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.880 she was saying, I can't talk about that right now, 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:43.840 you know. So she knows what's up. She knows that 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.760 there are sort of legal guidelines that are going to 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:49.720 prevent her from talking, but she might have something explosive 0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.240 that she reveals when she talks to Robert Muller if 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:54.800 they speak again. She said that they had an interview, 0:16:54.880 --> 0:16:57.640 so she spoke with him. So you just you never 0:16:57.720 --> 0:17:00.120 know how it's going to turn out, But ultimately I 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.680 think she was she looked out for herself, which is 0:17:02.680 --> 0:17:05.439 what she said, and now she's she's telling her story. Now, 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.680 if you're invited to the White House to go sit 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.840 down with Donald Trump, are you up in there? Because 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:13.960 as an investigative journalist, a good question. Yeah, I would 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.880 ask him questions. I asked him a question before um 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:19.639 on the campaign trail, back when nobody thought he was 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:22.040 gonna win, or maybe not nobody, but a lot of 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.960 the you know, the establishment was like, no, Hillary Clinton 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.760 is gonna win. I still was communicating with Republican sources 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.159 and I was like, I want to know what his 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:34.680 plan is for the black community. So they actually invited 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.280 me to the Trump Tower with other people. Now I 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.720 thought I could ask a question. I was told you 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:42.560 might be able to ask a questions. Then I get 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:44.720 there and they're like, no questions, And they were like, 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.200 are you going to be a problem. They had to 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.199 make sure they heard your voice over the phone. He 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:49.760 was like, I don't know. If she's black, everybody should 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.159 get it. No questions. The woman said are you going 0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:56.200 to be a problem? Wow? And she actually turned away 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:58.639 another guy who worked for another black outlet. She was like, 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:00.760 you're not on the list. So I'm like, I'm the 0:18:00.840 --> 0:18:04.919 only black person going up into this room. So I 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:06.440 was just like, no, I'm not going to be a problem. 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:08.200 I didn't say I was going to ask a question though. 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:10.879 We got up there. You know, somebody said what do 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.639 we have going on here? It was like black and 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:16.920 Latino business fellows who he was saying, Look, I'm helping 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:20.360 black and Latino's become entrepreneurs. And so right as everybody 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.240 was about to leave, I was just like, mister Trump, 0:18:22.560 --> 0:18:24.760
