Speaker 2: Now let's jump right into it. Donald Trump, Now they're

92
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: saying he's liable for fraud.

93
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's what they are saying, meaning the judge.

94
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 10: Let's listen to the report by ABC and then I'll

95
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 10: come back and we'll break down the details.

96
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 7: A judge in New York hash determined former president and

97
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 7: Trump committed stem fraud, lying for years about his net

98
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 7: worth by inflating the value of his real estate portfolio.

99
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 7: The fraud was so overwhelming the judge decided there was

100
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 7: no need for him to even hear evidence or testimony

101
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 7: at a civil trial set to begin next month. The

102
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 7: judge found Trump inflated the value of his Fifth Avenue

103
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 7: apartment in Trump Tower by as much as two hundred

104
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 7: million dollars by claiming it was triple its actual size.

105
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 7: Trump said marl Lago was worth up to six hundred

106
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 7: million dollars, when the judge said the Palm Beach estate's

107
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 7: assessed value was no more than twenty seven million. The judge,

108
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 7: agreeing with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump overstated

109
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 7: his net worth by as much as two point two

110
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 7: billion dollars, duping banks, insurance companies, and other business partners

111
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 7: into giving Trump, his eldest sons and their family real

112
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 7: estate business better terms than deserved.

113
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 5: That's the same.

114
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know stuff like that was up to judge. Yeah,

115
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know you have to go

116
00:04:58,960 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: to trial.

117
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 6: I didn't know stuff like that was up to the

118
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 6: person who owns the property. I thought, you don't have

119
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 6: people come out and.

120
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean go ahead.

121
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

122
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 10: Apparently it looked like it might even be some conspiracy

123
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 10: going on. Because again, yeah, somebody has to do the

124
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 10: appraisal U. But he was able to get a praise

125
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 10: for more and that's the whole thing, the whole fried piece.

126
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 11: So yeah, so we forgot about this civil case. A

127
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 11: lot of folks keep talking about.

128
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 10: Remember there's still four indictments of January sixth, the Georgia election,

129
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 10: the classify documents, the hush money, and then this is

130
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 10: the civil case.

131
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm very confused for two reasons. One, I didn't know

132
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: you didn't. I thought that everybody had a fair trial

133
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 2: or a chance at a fair trial, because it just sae,

134
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 2: we ain't even going to trial.

135
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: I've never heard that.

136
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 11: Well, this is a civil case. So a judge, Yeah,

137
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 11: so this was a civil.

138
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: Case case and you don't have to go to trial.

139
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 10: Yeah, the if this was so overwhelming that it wasn't

140
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 10: any point of the trial. So with the trial, so

141
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 10: what's gonna happen on Monday or next week if you will, Uh,

142
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 10: the they will decide what the fee will be. So

143
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 10: there with two hundred and fifty million dollars, so the

144
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 10: trial technically was really won't be a trial. It would

145
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 10: just be determined the penalties. In addition to that, the George.

146
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 10: The judge ordered that his business licenses basically be rescinded

147
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 10: as punishment, making it difficult or almost impossible for him

148
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 10: to do business in New York. They also want to

149
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 10: continue to monitor the Trump organizations operations, which may cause

150
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 10: him to sell some of his some of his buildings,

151
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 10: and of course his attorneys have said they will appeal.

152
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 11: So your civil is different than criminal.

153
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 10: But you know, you've seen judges even make decisions in

154
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 10: criminal cases as well, so it's not unheard of.

155
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 8: You know how many people like black people, brown people,

156
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 8: live in certain areas where even if you get appraisals,

157
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 8: they still will fight you on the value of your

158
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 8: property to try and make it less of course, and

159
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 8: he can just inflate it like that.

160

164
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 6: of checks and balances that go with that.

165
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Well, anytime I've ever purchased a solar home, like the

Speaker 1: In orders the appraisal.

171
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: It's their people that coming in and assess the crib

172
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: and assessed the evaluation and properties next door and what

Speaker 2: recently sold and the size of your house and what's

174
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: in it. And that's how the usually get the appraisal.

175
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,320

182
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. That's this is a strange.

183
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 5: One's surprised.

184
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Strange.

185
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes you wonder well Donald Trump, ever, you know,

186
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 6: win another court case in this country ever again, or

187
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 6: even get.

188
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: A fair shake. I don't. I don't know. But will

189
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: it matter because he's still high opposed.

190
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: One thing the people do is stick behind that man.

191
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 6: But I do feel like the Republican Party needed to

192
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 6: move away from Donald Trump, and I feel like the Democratic.

193
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: Party need to move away from Joe Biden.

194
00:07:59,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: But hey, what.

195
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 5: Though, where we're gonna move to?

196
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: The say move? I ain't talking about like physically move now.

197
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 8: I'm away, I know, but I'm saying you gotta put it.

198
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 8: You gotta put a person there for us.

199
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, the Republicans got quite a few.

200
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 6: You'll see them tonight debating Democrat adventures weak but you know.

201
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 11: And just to bring you, excuse me, just a liver

202
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 11: bit of clarity.

203
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 10: His ruling, which comes in the phase of a case

204
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 10: known as a summary judgment, resolves the key claim in

205
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 10: this case. So this was decided to be a non

206
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 10: jury trial that starts on next week as well, you know,

207
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 10: just to determine the determine how much he could possibly

208
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 10: own penalty. So it was set up that way, all right,

209
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 10: which can happen in the civil case. All right, well,

319
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 9: on the road and like, you know how like MVY

320
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 9: does his car shows the different cities, maybe taking yours

321
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 9: on the road because you know, some people can't get

322
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 9: to New York and it's extensively to get to New York.

323
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 9: So like, you know, taking it around.

324
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 6: Well, you know, there's other events that are happening. You know,

325
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 6: it's like Shanty Dodds is doing things. But yeah, there's

326
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 6: definitely something that we're thinking about.

327
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, we just had in South Carolina, right, Yeah.

328
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,960

00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 6: It was a July twenty fourth to the twenty sixth.

330
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 6: I don't know if you were, you were in attendance

331
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 6: for that, but we just had that in Charleston, South

336
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,400

00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 6: mad Tech over the summer and that's when that's when

338
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 6: I decided.

339
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: To get involved. But yeah, they do that every year

340
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: in South Carolina.

341
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 6: But no, you're right, the mental health factpot is something

342
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 6: that we probably do need to take on the road.

343
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, we'll keep that up.

344

Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, So I just wanted to put that. I

345
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,640

00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 9: And I work in social work. I'm a social worker,

350

377
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 17: Okay, okay, anyway, y'all, I'm calling about Philadelphia. If y'all

378
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 17: kids are out here in the street, y'all, need to

379
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 17: get them, because I don't understand y'all know how Philadelphia

380
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 17: cops work.

381
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 13: They will beat y'all kids.

382
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 17: They would do.

383
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 13: Anything in the world do y'all kids. So he took

384
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 13: and feeling we didn't come get them.

385
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I didn't understand, trav Man.

386
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 6: I saw like all of those looters, you know, running

387
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 6: into the stores, and then I saw the cops pull

388
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 6: up and the cops jump on them. And then everybody

389
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 6: starts screaming at the cops to not jump on them.

390
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 6: What are the cops supposed to do in that situation?

391
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 13: And that was I don't say anything.

392
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 17: The fim Adeptian cops already stretched because it's the murders

393
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 17: and Philadelphia already dealing with us killing killing each other

394
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 17: repeatedly out here, so they already high stressed anxiety. They

395
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 17: didn't not playing no games with our kids. Get our

396
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 17: kids up the street.

397
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: And I also thought that the Apple store. I thought

398
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 2: that the play phones were were fake, that you couldn't

399
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: really use you I thought you could only use them

400
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: in the store. I didn't think that you could put

401
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 2: anything on them and you actually use them. And and why.

402
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: Would they stay from Lulu mellan.

403
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 8: I think that they were just like doing whatever because

404
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 8: people are upset right now.

405
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 17: I don't want to get that they have a reason

406
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 17: to be upset, you.

407
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: Now, I was, I was really thinking that.

408
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 6: I'm like, what do y'all expect the cops to do

409
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 6: in this situation like this?

410
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: Like people started calling recalling the policef record the belief,

411
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: no recall them.

412
00:16:41,840 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 8: I think the issue is that people are comparing it

413
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 8: to when like the Phillies win or the Phillies the

414
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 8: Eagles win or lose, and like they flip cars and

415
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 8: they go crazy and Philly and you literally will see

416
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 8: the cops just standing and kind of waiting until things

417
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 8: summer down to get involved. And then you got the

418
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 8: loot in and they come in, and you know that

419
00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 8: that whole comparison. Of course, they grab a video up

420
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 8: like the white people downtown going crazy over the Eagles

421
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 8: and he's got these young black and brown kids running

422
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 8: these stores because they're upset and police coming in like quarterbacks.

423
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm tired of y'all. What about it? I think

424
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: y'all would about it. It was a ridiculous.

425
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 5: Really you mad at the looters?

426
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 13: Yeah?

427
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: I would be mad at the looterers. I'm a business owner.

428
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: If I'm a business owner, wouldn'tant nobody running up in

429
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: my business.

430
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: Closes like seven targets taking product exactly, people targets. And

431
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 2: when I have money, the one hall them they closing too,

432
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 2: because the people are just stealing.

433
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 8: See, it's different if you're going to somewhere and stealing

434
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 8: versus like, for instance, I wouldn't have known about this

435
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 8: Eddie Azarry, the man that was killed by the cop,

436
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 8: if the looting didn't happen got killed. No, So that

437
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 8: we're gonna talk about it in rumors to day. But

438
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 8: the background of this is there was a young man's

439
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 8: twenty seven years old. He was killed by a cop.

440
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 1: Breaking down in rumors, yeah, I'll break it down.

441
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 8: But basically, I feel like I understand why they're upset

442
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 8: and it's bringing attention. I feel bad for the business owners.

443
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 8: I'm a business owner too, But I mean, y'all gotta

444
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 8: buy by some rules.

445
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 5: Of the people.

446
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 8: You talked about the public people, the public servants serving

447
00:17:58,640 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 8: the people.

448
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 5: That's the issue right now.

449
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 6: I'm confused. You gotta got get into I don't know

450
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 6: what's going on no more.

451
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, But and I was gonna say that the problem

452
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: with all these stores is shutting down, Like you know,

453
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: targeting Harlem is now if people want to go shopping,

454
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: where can they go because now they can't go locally anymore.

455
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to travel, take buses and cat taxi,

456
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 2: gas rebuild.

Speaker 8: They getting too much money in that in that that

458
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 8: downtown area right now. But I think it's it's a

459
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 8: different situation. But we'll get into it.

Speaker 5: The agency is crazy.

475
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: Morning, everybody. We are to Breakfast Lauren. Let's jump. This

476
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: is a toxic place. I've been here.

477
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 18: From this, I think a lot of people will recognize

478
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 18: the boys to the name.

479
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: On the breakfast club. Lauren came in hot so.

480
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 8: Last night there was a bunch of riding that took

481
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 8: place in Center City, Philadelphia. Large crowds of juveniles looted

482
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 8: multiple stores, including Lula Lemon, an apple store, a foot

483
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 8: locker in Center City uh now. An acting police Commissioner,

484
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 8: John Stanford said that the looting has nothing to do

485
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 8: with the peaceful protest that took place earlier after charges

486
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 8: were dismissed against an officer who shot and killed a

487
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 8: twenty seven year old man named Eddie Arazari. Stanford also

488
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 8: said that the police have made fifteen to twenty arrests

489
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 8: so they aren't in so far. Two firearms have been recovered,

490
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 8: but they aren't sure if they're connected to the looting.

491
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 6: Now.

492
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 8: There have been over one hundred juveniles and young adults

493
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 8: that were involved, but at this time police are not

494
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 8: sure how many businesses were affected. There are videos going

495
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 8: so viral online right now with all these kids people

496
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 8: running into these stores, police hopping on them. People are

497
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 8: recording the police. It's it's just a lot going on

498
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 8: in Philadelphia right now.

499
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 6: I knew nothing about the peaceful protests, and I knew

500
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 6: nothing about the cops killing that brother.

501
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 5: Was his name, Eddie Arazari.

502
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 6: I knew nothing about that. So when I saw this video,

503
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 6: I just thought it was a bunch of kids looting.

504
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 2: Right because we've been seeing it all some along that

505
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: they've been looting everywhere, you know, Louis Vuittan and Macy's and.

506
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 5: Then trying to find the Louis Vitan store looters.

507
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Gucci. We've been seeing Chanel like they've

508
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: been looting a lot recently. That's what I thought it

509
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: was too.

510
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 6: I didn't, and I will say, if that is their

511
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 6: response to the brother getting killed, these people need guidance,

512
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Because if this is their

513
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: response to those cops getting off, then they need to

514
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 6: get with real activists who actually do this work and

515
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,919
Speaker 6: figure out a way to protest, to bring attention to

516
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 6: the actual issue, because running up in foot locker, Apple

517
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 6: and Lululemon is not raising away and to what actually happened.

518
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 6: Because I didn't know any of this until you told

519
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 6: me Lauri.

520
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 8: Well, I think that that's a really good point. I

521
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 8: didn't know any of this either, and I'm from Delaware.

522
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 8: I've been back and forth between LA and Delaware over

523
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 8: these last couple months. A lot didn't know that any

524
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 8: of this was happening until the looting happened. This happened

525
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 8: on August fourteenth, that is when Officer Mark Dile and

526
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 8: his partner wanted patrol and they came across Eddie Irazari

527
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 8: and the shooting happened. Right So from August until now,

528
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 8: it's what October September October.

529
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: This is almost October, September thirty seventh, there have.

530
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 8: Been peaceful protests happening all the way from Puerto Rico

531
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 8: to Philadelphia. So we were having a conversation in here

532
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 8: earlier about if looting is effective and why, like why

533
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 8: take this shout?

534
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 6: Well, I think running up in someone's place of business

535
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 6: and looting is whack rioting because you are fed up

536
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 6: over cop killing us. I'm not mad at riots of

537
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 6: the language and unheard, but this is not a riot

538
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 6: to me. It sounds like niggas just want of iPhones

539
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 6: and tights.

540
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like.

541
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 6: Only the only way I could, wow, the only way

542
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 6: I could say anything like looting is justified is if

543
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 6: they are stealing food or medicine. But Footlocker, Apple products

Speaker 6: make sure you know where your kids are and you

548

Speaker 6: watch your kids.

549
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,199
Speaker 2: And the reason for that is, Yeah, I don't want

550
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 2: to see any other kid get hurt. I don't want

551
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 2: to say the kid you know coming out of a

552
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,680

585
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 19: do with the earlier peaceful protests after a judge just

00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 19: in his charges against a police officer fatally shot Eddie Irazari.

00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 5: So this is okay.

595
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 8: So I wanted to play that report because one of

596
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 8: the important things that I said and that we hear

597
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 8: in that report is that the police are saying that

598
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 8: they do not believe that this looting is connected to

599
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 8: the police officer Mark Dial being let go on all

600
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 8: charges for shooting him in six times following what they

601
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 8: believe was just like a police stop. Now we have

602
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,639

00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 20: you know, I saw his body come.

632
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Up like this, and then Mark fired.

633
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 8: So after this body cam this is the partner of

634
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 8: the officer who shot Eddie. To correct that, but after

635
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 8: this bodycam was released, police then did a press conference

636
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,399
Speaker 8: and in that press conference, they said that not only

637
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 8: was there a knife found, but they said that Eddie

638
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 8: actually got out of the car and lunched at police officers.

639
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 5: Now when when that happened.

640
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,639
Speaker 8: A neighbor had a camera in addition to this body

641
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 8: cam that they gave to the family, and that was

642
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 8: released and in that video you see, yes, police walk

643
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 8: up to the car, but Eddie never gets out of

644
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 8: the car. There were knives found in the car, but

645
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 8: he never gets out of the car and the shoots,

646
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 8: the shots happened. You really can't see the interaction between

647
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 8: Eddie and the police officer, but you just hear the

648
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 8: shots go off right and then he's killed in the car.

649
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 8: So people were upset. There was an officer that exchanged

650
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 8: what like six bullets into a man who was sitting

651
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 8: in a car, and he's completely let off on all charges.

652
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 8: People are upset, and I think that people have a

653
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 8: right to be upset.

654
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Absolute Yeah, But I.

655
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 6: Don't believe this looting had anything to do with that situation.

656
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 6: And if it did, once again, these folks need guidance

657
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 6: because that energy that they are using the run up

658
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 6: in these stores can be used for something more productive.

659
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 6: That brings actual awareness to the situation because I had

660
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 6: no idea about this case or the officer getting off.

661
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 6: And I still don't know what running up in Lulu

662
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 6: Limmon got to do with anything, but.

663
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 8: You're talking about it right now though, because of the

664
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 8: running up in Lululemon.

665
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, maybe.

666
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: But I think if Luton wasn't so so huge nowadays,

667
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 2: because they've been looting everywhere recently, and then you know,

668
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: in Philly, in New York, like they're just doing it again.

669
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 2: What I've seen it, I didn't know what, like you said,

670
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,160
Speaker 2: it had anything to attach to it. I just seen

671
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: it happening again. I just heard that they did something

672
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 2: in Long Island and Long Island more. I think they

673
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: got Mount Clair again, like I've been seeing it so much,

674
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: you know, all right, But I.

675
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 6: Want these people to get with real activists who actually

676
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 6: do the work and figure out a way to protest.

677
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 8: They want the activists they want. They They're asking for

678
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 8: a lot of people to get involved, and I think

679
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 8: that this will help too. They can get some structure

680
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 8: down there, some of the people that we trust in.

681
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 8: Hopefully something happens else get hurt.

682
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 6: That's that's that's my whole, especially those young juveniles, because

683
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 6: all we see right now is niggas with new iPhones

684
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 6: and tights.

685
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: Okay you want some little limit tights. No, it's too expensive.

686
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,440
Speaker 1: People cheap fashion would never go.

687
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 5: About fashion over you know here sexy bread.

Speaker 2: picket line.

700
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, he went yesterday, or historic to have a president

701
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 10: actually joined the picket line. He went on Tuesday and

702
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 10: alongside the United Auto Workers in Michigan. He grabbed his

703
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 10: megaphone and encouraged the workers to hold the line. Let's

704
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 10: listen to the report.

705
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 21: Wearing a union ball cap and armed with a bullhorn.

706
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 21: President in bit and told the striking United Auto Workers

707
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 21: to keep fighting for higher wages.

708
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 22: So let's keep going your what you heard and you've

709
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 22: hearn a hell of a lot boards.

710
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: You're getting paid now.

711
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 21: With President Biden, who exchanged fist bumps with the workers,

712
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 21: the historic visit to the picket line was personal and political.

713
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 21: Under you're scoring a long career backing labor.

714
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 22: To have the President of the United States walk the

715
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 22: picket line and supportive workers, that's huge.

716
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 11: Yeah, yes, yeah, big deal. I'm glad you know that

717
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 11: he went out there. The White House.

718
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 10: They said that he was not going to get into

719
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 10: the negotiations, but President Biden did weigh in on it.

720
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 10: A reporter asked him if they should get a forty

721
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 10: percent pay increase. The President said, yes, they should be

722
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 10: able to bargain for that. Now we're talked about this

723
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 10: a little bit yesterday. Former President Donald Trump will be

724
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 10: there today. He has accused President Biden of only visiting

725
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 10: because he is visiting. He actually made a statement that

726
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 10: said Crooked Joe should be ashamed to show his face

727
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 10: before these hardworking Americans that he's stabbing in the back.

728
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 10: He said, well, Biden, it doesn't matter what the hourly rage,

729
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 10: hourly wage is because in three years there'll be no

730
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 10: autoworkers because of China.

731
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 6: Dam well. I mean, it's definitely political for both of them.

732
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 6: Like I said yesterday, majority of Americans agree with the strike,

733
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 6: so you know, them going out there and standing with

734
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 6: the workers.

735
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: They both on the right side of history.

736
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 11: Riding with Tim Scott. He's on one or that another.

737
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 6: Everybody but Tim Scott. But I don't care, man, I'm

738
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 6: still sticking to the fact that I think Republicans should

739
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 6: move away from Donald Trump and Democrats would move away

740
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 6: from Joe Biden. Those two are not the best. You're

741
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 6: not gonna tell me those two are the best of America.

742
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 6: Have to off No, not at all.

743
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 10: Well, yeah, but they're not offering anybody else up, so

744
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 10: what do they do. They're definitely not offering anybody else

745
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 10: up on the Democrats side.

746
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 5: So I don't know.

747
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 6: I feel like we're gonna find ourselves in a position

748
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 6: next year to where neither one of them may be

749
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 6: around old age.

750
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Literally, I don't know. I just I just I just

751
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: feel that way. I just feel like.

752
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,239
Speaker 6: There's gonna be something where neither one of them are

753
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 6: gonna be in this in the mix, and I think

754
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 6: it's gonna happen in the bottom of the knife in

755
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 6: it, and everybody's gonna be scrambling to figure out what the

756
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 6: hell to do. I just feel that, Yeah, I'm just

757
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 6: nervous that Biden is gonna be like, what's the congressman

758
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 6: that that every once in a while he just zones out,

759
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 6: And I feel like Biden's gonna be that.

760
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: In a little being in a little bit.

761
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 15: He like that.

762
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Now they both like that. To be honest with you,

763
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,479
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? What you meaning a little bit? Well,

764
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: he ain't zoned out. He just fell down a couple

765
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 1: of times. You mean, like ms McConnell.

766
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, he's zoned out a couple of times. You

767
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 2: shoogar a couple of people's hands that weren't dead. But

768
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 2: he ain't zoned out yet.

769
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: Well J J J J.

770
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 11: Cool that.

771
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 10: Boy.

772
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Good. Now to talk about religious very spiritual?

773
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 10: Yeah, a quick question are you guys, let me ask

774
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 10: a quick poe. Are you religion religious or spiritual? Which

775
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 10: one envy?

776
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: Spiritual?

777
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 6: I would, oh, one hundred percent spiritual. I've been I've

778
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 6: been figured that out about myself.

779
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 10: Okay, Well, this was a Good poll, eighty two percent

780
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 10: say that they are religious, spiritual, or both. Eighteen percent

781
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 10: of folks say that they are neither spiritual or religious

782
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 10: up to not that's of nine percent in nineteen ninety nine.

783
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 10: The percentage also says that the religion is went down

784
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 10: to fifty four percent. Now, the decline in Americans identifying

785
00:31:55,720 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 10: as religious is consistent with trends for other polls. Now,

786
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 10: what I thought I found this about this really interesting

787
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 10: is they even put this into party politics. They said

788
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,080
Speaker 10: that among the party group, sixty one percent of Republicans

789
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 10: are most likely to identify what religion, which is where

790
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 10: you get a lot of those strict, you know, strict

791
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 10: things like abortion or marriage against sex marriage, while sixty

792
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 10: eight percent say twenty eight percent I'm sorry, say that

793
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 10: they are spiritual. More Independents say that they're religious than spiritual,

794
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 10: and Democrats say they are equally about spiritual a spiritual

795
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 10: forty one percent and religious thirty seven percent. So interesting, poet,

796
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 10: I found just kind of want to see where you guys,

797
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 10: you know, landed on that. So the bottom line is

798
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 10: the religion is going down and spirit being spiritual is

799
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 10: going up.

800
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: What do you learn religious?

801
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 8: I would say I'm in the middle because I just

802
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 8: looked it up. At first, I said spiritual, but I

803
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 8: feel like I'm a little bit of both of them.

804
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

805
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 6: I grew up very religious because my grandmother was a

806
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 6: Baptist and my mother's a Jehovah witness, and then you know,

807
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: my father's study Islam. But I think as I got older,

808
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 6: I just grew more spiritual because I wasn't tied to

809
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 6: any one religious brightness.

810
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 8: I'm tired to certain religious practices for the same reasons

811
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 8: of like my upbringing. But there's certain stuff that I

812
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 8: was taught with my upbringing that now i'd be like

813
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 8: question a little bit. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know

814
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 8: if I believe that, or even if I believe that,

815
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 8: I'm not living by that.

816
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

817
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, See, I grew up Baptist, but then I went

818
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: to Catholic school all my life, so it was always

819
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: a left right and like similar to what you said,

820
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: you start seeing things that make you question things. Say,

821
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna take a couple of steps

822
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 2: back and I'll have my own relationship even.

823
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 6: Question in the Bible, Like you know, when they tell

824
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 6: you things like Adam was the first man he was

825
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 6: the first woman. Then they had Cain and Abel Cain

826
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 6: killed Able, but then Kane went off and found a wife.

827
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 8: How see, I like, just hear you question the Bible,

828
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 8: I'm like, oh my God, call me and give me

829
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 8: a year quiet.

830
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 6: I got to ask your questions. I don't want to

831
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,959
Speaker 6: know how if there's only four people on the planet.

832
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: But then if you ask questions, they get upset with

833
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: you asking questions.

834
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 8: That's right because I think people have blind faith in things,

835
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 8: and then when it comes to the Bible, that blind

836
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 8: faith like disappears.

837
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 5: It's like why not just yeah.

838
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 6: And everybody make excuses like, dude, around me fourteen they

839
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 6: tell you don't touch the flash of a dead pig.

840
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: Nonetheless, eating niggas, love for chiplings.

841
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 5: That's the only park I do.

842

Speaker 1: That's the only poor amazing I do bacon.

843
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,239

Speaker 2: First it maybe it's just me be a stupid I

880
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: didn't know you were from the Bronx.

881
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: Really, I did not know that.

882
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 4: I didn't know you were from born and born and raised.

883
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Do you know what I say? I'll say the craziest

884
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.

885
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 23: Why what why? I agree on Florida, but why the Bronx.

886
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 23: One of the most talented people that is true to

887
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 23: come from the Bronx.

888
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: That is very true too. Now, how did you know

889
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 1: now the time to write Thinking and Water?

890
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 23: So what I write about in the book is that

891
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 23: a handful of like five years ago, my parents sat

892
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 23: me down and shared with me some new information about

893
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 23: myself that really kind of challenged the way that I

894
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 23: thought about myself, that I thought about my family turned

895
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 23: my world upside down. And at the time, I had

896
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 23: actually sold another book, Idea, which was based kind of

897
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 23: inspired by the show that I was on, Scandal, and

898
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 23: it was like, these are the ten things that I

899
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 23: learned from Olivia Pope. But every time I sat down

900
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 23: to write that book, all I could think about was

901
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 23: this new information I'd been given and how it impacted

902
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 23: my family and my sense of self. And so I

903
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 23: wasn't going to write book at all. I tried to

904
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 23: give the publisher their money back, but they wouldn't take it.

905
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 13: Wow.

906
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 23: And then a few years later I was like, I

907
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 23: think I have to at least try to write this book.

908
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,320
Speaker 1: You said your parents didn't want you to reveal Yeah.

909
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 23: Yeah, so my my my parents told me that they

910
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 23: were sort of forced to tell me that my dad

911
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 23: is not my biological father.

912
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: How did that affect you, because I mean, he's still

913
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: your dad at the end of the day. We've seen

914
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 2: the picture you know him choke Instagram. Yeah yeah, so

915
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,240
Speaker 2: how did that affect anything after you were told?

916
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 9: So?

917
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 23: I think immediately when they told me it was weird.

918
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 23: To be totally honest with you, I felt like excited.

919
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 23: I felt excited and grateful because I had always felt

920
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 23: like there was something going on in my family that

921
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 23: I couldn't put my finger on. But it was like

922
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 23: a dynamic of distance or like there was I just

923
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 23: knew that I didn't know what. I didn't know, but

924
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 23: I knew that that there was something between my parents

925
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 23: and I. And because I didn't know what it was,

926
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 23: a lot of times I blamed myself for that or

927
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 23: maybe thought I was crazy for thinking it, maybe thought

928
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 23: that maybe I'm just not open enough, like I was

929
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,400
Speaker 23: always trying to figure it out. So when they told me,

930
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 23: it felt like, I don't know, it felt like I

931
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 23: could breathe. It felt like, oh, this is this is

932
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 23: a real opportunity for me to jump into this new

933
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 23: kind of understanding of myself and my life.

934
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 4: And you know, it was it was really exciting when you.

935
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 8: Would ask questions about like just different things like hey,

936
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 8: you go to the doctors and they say, you know

937
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 8: what illnesses are on your mom? So you would ask

938
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 8: your dad your mom those questions? How would they answer it?

939
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 8: As if my dad was my father? They were going

940
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 8: to take this to their grave, And I get it.

941
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 8: I totally understand, right, Like.

942
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think they they felt like, well, first of all,

943
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 23: let me just say this, my parents are renegades, right,

944
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,919
Speaker 23: like a lot of us. Now we know people who

945
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 23: go to sperm don or sperm banks.

946
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 5: Right, It's like.

947
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 23: Very common relatively now, and you get a whole catalog.

948
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 23: You can pick the color of the eyes and what

949
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 23: Ivy League university they went to. But when my parents

950
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 23: did this in the mid seventies, nobody was doing this.

951
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 23: This was highly experimental, highly secretive. It was a big

952
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 23: risk they were taking. It wasn't like they had complete

953
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 23: health screenings for the donor. They had no idea who

954
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 23: the donor was. They said, we asked two things. Let

955
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 23: them be healthy. Who knows what that means at the time, right,

956
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 23: but like we want them to be healthy, and we

957
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 23: want them to be black. Because they wanted this to

958
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 23: be a secret.

959
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, you know you talk about your eating disorder

960
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: and dealing with how you felt about your body and

961
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 2: your looks. Yeah, I wanted to know what got you

962
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 2: in that point. And the reason I ask is I

963
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 2: have four daughters. Charlemagne has four daughters, and I always

964
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 2: want to make sure I try my hardest to give

965
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: my daughter as many compliments as possible, right, because you

966
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 2: never want them to feel that way, but sometimes I

967
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 2: don't think that matters because it's also how.

968
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: They look at themselves.

969
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what got you to that point where you

970
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 2: didn't like what you've seen in the mirror or something

971
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 2: that you weren't happy about.

972
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: It's such a good question.

973
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 23: I have daughters too, right, So it's something that I

974
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 23: think about a lot. I think that the food, it's

975
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 23: like any other kind of addictive behavior. It's not about

976
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 23: the drug. It's not really about the food or even

977
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 23: really about the relationship with body. Came out from a

978
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 23: compulsion of trying to escape the feelings I was having.

979
00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 1: Or numb them.

980
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 23: And so I think for me, it was this sense

981
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 23: that I write about in the book of feeling like

982
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 23: I had to be perfect, like I had to be

983
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 23: better than who I was in order to be deserving

984
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 23: of love. And some of that came from like why

985
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 23: do I have this weird dynamic with my parents?

986
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 4: Like what's going on?

987
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 23: Maybe if I was better, prettier, smarter, thinner, then I

988
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 23: might be more lovable. So I don't even you know,

989
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 23: I mean, I do think it's important to teach our

990
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 23: kids to make healthy choices when it comes to exercise,

991
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,239
Speaker 23: to make healthy choices when it comes to food, to

992
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 23: teach them about nutrition, about how food works in the body.

993
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 4: All that's important.

994
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 23: But I think helping a kid to feel unconditionally loved,

995
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 23: to feel safe, those are the things that I think

996
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,720
Speaker 23: help us have the tool rules to live in life

997
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 23: on life's terms, as opposed to grabbing at addictive behaviors

998
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 23: to escape life.

999
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 6: Now I'm jumping all around because I want people to

1000
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 6: read the book Thinking and Water. But you talked about,

1001
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 6: you know, always thriving for perfection. Yeah, but you said,

1002
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 6: Jamie Fox thought you a very valuable lesson.

1003
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, can you explain what that was?

1004
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 23: Yeah, I think Jamie. I mean, I've been really lucky.

1005
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 23: I've been lucky enough to work with Jamie twice on

1006
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 23: Ray and Janego Unchained classics by the way, Yeah, truly,

1007
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,919
Speaker 23: he's He's the best. And Jamie's taught me a lot

1008
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 23: about a lot of things. But one of the things

1009
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 23: is in my work as an actor, to you have

1010
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 23: to let go of that perfection idea. Because we were

1011
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 23: doing a scene together and Ray. It was the scene

1012
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 23: where I find speaking of drugs, where I find all

1013
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 23: his heroin works the first time as his wife. And

1014
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 23: you know, we had done it in the morning, we

1015
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 23: had hit it out of the park and I was like, oh,

1016
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:54,800
Speaker 23: we are on fire.

1017
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:55,839
Speaker 5: This is incredible.

1018
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 23: And then as the day went on, I kept trying

1019
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 23: to do it exactly the way we had done earlier

1020
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 23: that morning, so that it would be in that perfect

1021
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 23: place that felt so good. And that's the beginning of

1022
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 23: death as an actor, Like, you can't try to recreate magic.

1023
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 23: You have to keep cultivating new magic, right, Like you

1024
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,280
Speaker 23: have to truly be in the moment. And Jamie really

1025
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 23: helped me to realize that. I was frustrated in the

1026
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 23: scene and he was like, you gotta keep digging. You

1027
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 23: got to let go of this morning. And that was

1028
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 23: a really powerful lesson.

1029
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 6: Why was it easier to find that in acting as

1030
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:29,680
Speaker 6: opposed to real life.

1031
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 23: Well, I guess I hadn't learned how to apply that

1032
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 23: to the rest of my world. You know, there was

1033
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 23: like it was in a vacuum, was isolated kind of moment.

1034
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,200
Speaker 4: But it's a good question.

1035
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 23: I mean, that is the lesson though, right is that,

1036
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 23: Like the answer is never about perfection, It's always about like,

1037
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 23: what's the best possible version of my life in this

1038
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 23: moment of me in this moment.

1039
00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 2: Now, you did say something I heard you say that

1040
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: parents do the best that they can and then it's

1041
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 2: up to us to parent ourselves after that, explain that.

1042
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 23: Well, I think like one of the things that I've

1043
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 23: truly come to terms with in writing this book is

1044
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 23: that every choice my parents made was out of love.

1045
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 23: They weren't trying to be cruel, they weren't trying to

1046
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 23: hurt me. They really thought that this was the best choice.

1047
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 23: And by the way doctors back then said it, like

1048
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 23: artificial inssemination was so new. They would say, we do

1049
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 23: this thing and then you go home and have sex,

1050
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 23: and then you have plausible deniability. And nobody knew forty

1051
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 23: years ago there would be these home tests twenty three

1052
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 23: in ancestry.

1053
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:24,240
Speaker 4: You had no idea.

1054
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 23: So they were like, go home and have sex, then

1055
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 23: the kid's yours, end of story, nothing to talk about, right,

1056
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 23: And so I think my parents didn't want me to

1057
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 23: feel different. They didn't want me to feel weird. They

1058
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 23: didn't want me ironically, they didn't want me to feel

1059
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 23: distanced from them, even though that's what wound up happening.

1060
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 23: So I know that they made loving choices or choices

1061
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 23: out of love, even if they didn't feel loving to me.

1062
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,720
Speaker 23: But I think we have to for me and my journey.

1063
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 23: It's been like it's been good to understand who they

1064
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 23: were to have compassion for their choices. But I can't

1065
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 23: blame them for where I am now. Like now that

1066
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,239
Speaker 23: I have awareness, I have to say, like, Okay, they

1067
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 23: gave me everything they could with as much love as

1068
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 23: they could. How do I now close the gap between

1069
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 23: what they gave me and what I need? That's my

1070
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 23: responsibility as an adult. If I just sit here and

1071
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 23: continue to complain about what they didn't give me, then

1072
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 23: I'm keeping myself a child.

1073
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington. When we come back,

1074
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.

1075
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: Good morning Morning. Everybody is the ej Envy, Charlamagne the God.

1076
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: We are to Breakfast Club.

1077
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: Our special guest co host Laura la Rosa is here

1078
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 2: and we're still kicking it with Carrie Washington.

1079
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 5: Lauren, what's the conversation like with your kids?

1080
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 8: Like once you decided to take this world to your

1081
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 8: kids and even deciding to write the book, and now

1082
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 8: you're you know, because your kids, I'm sure they're friends.

1083
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,120
Speaker 8: And everybody knows who you are, So how do you

1084
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 8: have that conversation with them? And kind of how are

1085
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 8: they responding to things?

1086
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, like I was saying before, this is.

1087
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 23: So common now, like it's not news to my kids.

1088
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:54,280
Speaker 4: They were so unimpressed, Like, you know, they're in their classes.

1089
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 23: They have kids with two dads and two moms, so

1090
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 23: they have friends from sperm donors, friends from egg donors,

1091
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 23: friends who are adopted, friends who were born from surrogates.

1092
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 23: Like they also like, we're a blended family right there,

1093
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 23: big sister. You know, when we look at the three

1094
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 23: of them, their big sister has four parents, Like having

1095
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 23: me having another parental figure in my story is not

1096
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 23: weird to them. For my parents, they came from a

1097
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 23: world where what makes a family was very different, but

1098
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:22,399
Speaker 23: the ideas of what makes a family now is much

1099
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 23: more open. So you know, they they know obviously the

1100
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 23: conversation I have with my seventeen year old is very

1101
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 23: different than the conversation I have with my six year old. Right,

1102
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 23: But I want to be a home where we're open

1103
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 23: and honest and where they feel like they can ask anything.

1104
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 8: What about when you decided to because I know in

1105
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 8: this book you talk about the abortion that you had

1106
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 8: at twenty. Yeah, that is something that is like in

1107
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 8: your twentieth But I mean it's around Saved the Last

1108
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,320
Speaker 8: Dance time, right, so you were, you know, highly successful

1109
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,280
Speaker 8: at this time.

1110
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 7: I know.

1111
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 23: But it's in a chapter that I call Black famous

1112
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 23: because I was like, you know how we are like

1113
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 23: white people didn't necessarily know that the girl from Saved

1114
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 23: the Last Dance was the same girl from Ray was

1115
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 23: the same girl from Last Kame of Scotland. So we knew,

1116
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 23: I you know, but so yes, I was my star

1117
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 23: was on the rise.

1118
00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 4: But it wasn't.

1119
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 23: I wasn't like I could still go to the grocery

1120
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:11,359
Speaker 23: store and it was all good.

1121
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 6: I want.

1122
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: I love yourself awareness.

1123
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 6: Did you realize you were Black famous when you were

1124
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 6: Black famous or was that in hindsight?

1125
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,799
Speaker 23: No, in the moment, because I knew, you know, it

1126
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 23: was like I knew I could walk down the street

1127
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 23: on fifty seventh in Madison and be fine, but if

1128
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 23: I was in the Bronx, it was like, oh my god.

1129
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 23: Or like at the time I was a substitute teacher

1130
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 23: in New York City public schools, that was one of

1131
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 23: my many side hustles when I was.

1132
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 4: Trying to make a living as an actor.

1133
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 23: And it was funny because I would get hired into

1134
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 23: the school and the principals who were white, you know,

1135
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 23: the principal's vice principals, They would be like, so nice

1136
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 23: to meet you. Great, they bring me to the classroom.

1137
00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,160
Speaker 23: They had no idea who I was. But then I

1138
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 23: would be asked to leave a school because by the

1139
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 23: second day, all the kids were cutting class to see

1140
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 23: Chaneil from Save the Last Dance because they knew who

1141
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 23: I was because I was substitute teaching in Harlem.

1142
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 4: So it was like that dynamic.

1143
00:47:03,680 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 23: I understood that certain people knew who I was and

1144
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 23: other people didn't.

1145
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: What's more fulfilling being black famous or white female?

1146
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 23: I think you have to have both. That was one

1147
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 23: of the things that Chris Rock taught me, like, you

1148
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 23: can never ever forget your core original first audience. You

1149
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 23: cannot because that other audience will come and go, they'll

1150
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 23: be ebbs and flows. But black people will hold you

1151
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 23: up throughout. If you stay with us, we stay with you.

1152
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what made Scandals such a hit.

1153
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

1154
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 23: I mean, we were part of the birth of black

1155
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 23: Twitter at the time, so I one of my best

1156
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,400
Speaker 23: friends from high school. She's a brilliant social media person,

1157
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,720
Speaker 23: Alison Peters. She actually convinced me to go on Twitter

1158
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 23: and I was like, what why, I don't know, and

1159
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 23: she was like, she had come out of viacom and

1160
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 23: was like, it's really important, you need to do this,

1161
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:53,479
Speaker 23: And she and I kind of talked Shonda Rhimes into

1162
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 23: talking the cast into being on Twitter. And we were

1163
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 23: one of the first shows to do live tweeting and

1164
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 23: to really have event television at a time where people

1165
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 23: were no longer watching shows in real time unless it

1166
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 23: was like a basketball game, And so that conversation around

1167
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 23: the show was our grassroots movement, like we had black

1168
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 23: Twitter on fire. People like Oprah eventually were like, I

1169
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 23: only started watching Scandal because it's the only thing people

1170
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 23: talked about on Thursday nights on Twitter.

1171
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 4: So yes, in.

1172
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 23: That first season, it was absolutely because black audience is

1173
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 23: you know.

1174
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 4: How culture follows us.

1175
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,880
Speaker 23: So black audiences made it that you had to be

1176
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 23: there to tune in, and suddenly it trickled out into

1177
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 23: the rest of the world.

1178
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:44,280
Speaker 1: How often do people come up to you to feed.

1179
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 4: All the time?

1180
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 23: And to be honest, because the show was inspired by

1181
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 23: a real woman, Judy Smith, who's a real DC fixer

1182
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 23: who never slept with the president, but was a real fixer.

1183
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 23: And I have her on speed dial, so people also

1184
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,439
Speaker 23: will come to me to get to her because they

1185
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 23: know she is truly able to mixed up.

1186
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: Have you needed it?

1187
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 23: I haven't needed her, but I've sent other people to her. Yes,

1188
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 23: but I've talked to her. I mean, like not on

1189
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 23: like I'm in jail. It's two am. Helped me out,

1190
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 23: but like, you know, if there's a rollout of a

1191
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 23: movie and I'm like, I don't know, this directory is

1192
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,879
Speaker 23: a little bit of a problem. What do you think

1193
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,319
Speaker 23: you know I've done. I've had those kind of conversations

1194
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 23: with her.

1195
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, but people, do you.

1196
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 23: Know it's funny, like it'll happen in political moments, Like

1197
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 23: a lot of my political work now is inspired by

1198
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 23: the fact that in twenty sixteen, the morning after the election,

1199
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 23: when that awful rapist, racist person was elected, that when

1200
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 23: I woke up all over social media, people were like,

1201
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 23: you have to save us, what.

1202
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 5: Are you gonna do?

1203
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 15: Please?

1204
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:43,800
Speaker 4: Olivia Pope?

1205
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 23: And it was funny for a minute, and then I

1206
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 23: was like, we have a real problem in our culture

1207
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 23: because we we don't realize that Olivia Pope is an

1208
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 23: imaginary character on a television show, and that every single

1209
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 23: person who wrote one of those tweets they have more

1210
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 23: power than Olivia Pope because she can't vote, she can't

1211
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,720
Speaker 23: register voters, she can't volunteer, she can't knock on doors.

1212
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 23: But it's like we've given our power over to imaginary

1213
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 23: people because we have this hero worship, right, So we're

1214
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 23: not stepping into our power because we're looking for somebody

1215
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 23: else to solve our problems for us.

1216
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 4: So a lot of the.

1217
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 23: Work that I've been doing has been trying to figure

1218
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 23: out how to turn the spotlight that's on me onto

1219
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 23: those grassroots organizations and people who are really doing the work.

1220
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,399
Speaker 6: When people saw you would the vice president the other day, Yeah,

1221
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 6: probably she's back.

1222
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 5: She's the White House.

1223
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:29,879
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1224
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: I want to have a more question about your father.

1225
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 6: How they finding out your father wasn't your biological father

1226
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 6: change your views on parenthos oh Man.

1227
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 23: Well, one thing I say in the book is, and

1228
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 23: it's what I feel, is that in our community, where

1229
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 23: people have historically had such difficult relationships, right where there's

1230
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 23: this history of dads maybe not being present, you know,

1231
00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 23: in the neighborhood that I grew up in. I grew

1232
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:55,879
Speaker 23: up in one of the few households where the dad

1233
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 23: was around, and you know, my parents were still married.

1234
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 23: And the fact looking act that my dad really did

1235
00:51:02,040 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 23: choose me, that he was there, he's been there for

1236
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 23: me the whole time, that he's been this you know,

1237
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 23: parental force in my life, that he's my dad, that

1238
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 23: he chose me, that I belonged to him and he

1239
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,879
Speaker 23: belongs to me. It almost meant more than it ever

1240
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 23: did before. And I feel really grateful.

1241
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 2: You know, now you contemplated suicide at one point. Yeah,

1242
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: well what got you there?

1243
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 1: First of all? And then how did you get through it?

1244
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 2: Because I'm sure there's people listening now that might be

1245
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 2: in that same zone and trying to work themselves through

1246
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 2: it every day. So what got you to that point

1247
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: where you felt that way? And then how did you

1248
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 2: get over that obstacle?

1249
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 23: When you say there might be people listening who feel

1250
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:45,239
Speaker 23: that way, it's like, my heart breaks because I just

1251
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,439
Speaker 23: know how hard it is to feel that alone and

1252
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 23: that hopeless. So if anybody's listening and is feeling that way.

1253
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,959
Speaker 23: The one thing I would say is to ask for help,

1254
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,359
Speaker 23: you know, is to really ask for help because you

1255
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 23: are you feel alone, but I guarantee you you are

1256
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 23: not alone. And for me that was the big thing

1257
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 23: was I mean number one was the first time that

1258
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 23: I truly got on my knees and talked to God

1259
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 23: and was like I need help, Like I don't I

1260
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,360
Speaker 23: because I felt like I really don't have any tools,

1261
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 23: I don't know what to do. So it was the

1262
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:25,040
Speaker 23: first time that I think I humbled myself enough to

1263
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 23: feel like there's got to be something bigger than me

1264
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 23: that points me in the direction of healing, and I

1265
00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 23: started reaching out. I went to therapy for the first time,

1266
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 23: group therapy, one on one, Like I just really started

1267
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 23: committing to trying to walk this road of healing.

1268
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,439
Speaker 1: I swear by, Yeah, Hi, we got more with Kerry

1269
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:43,919

1275
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 6: You're talking about traveling. In the Black Famous chapter, you

1276
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 6: talk about going to Africa, Yeah, to become African. How

1277
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 6: did that trip change?

1278
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 9: So?

1279
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 23: I was filming Last King of Scotland. That was my

1280
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 23: first time on the continent and it was great because

1281
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 23: I do feel like sometimes as black people in America,

1282
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 23: we go to Africa with all these like do I

1283
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:12,360
Speaker 23: belong here? Do I feel at home?

1284
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 21: Like?

1285
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 23: What is my relationship here? And I just had to

1286
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 23: put all of that aside because my focus was on

1287
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 23: just kind of dropping in and becoming a Ugandan woman.

1288
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 23: And I really did feel at home there.

1289
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 4: I did.

1290
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 23: I felt so lucky to be able to be so

1291
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 23: immersed in the culture that I wasn't there like, you know,

1292
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:32,760
Speaker 23: as a tourist, and I took it when I was there.

1293
00:53:32,920 --> 00:53:35,719
Speaker 23: I don't know if you've heard about this experience. It's

1294
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 23: not in the book, but we were hiking in the

1295
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:41,320
Speaker 23: ruin Zori Mountains, which are the mountains that border Rwanda

1296
00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 23: and Uganda, and it's where the only wild gorillas live.

1297
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 23: And you can go out with a gorilla trekker and

1298
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 23: find the gorillas in the jungle and spend time with them.

1299
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 23: You go with like a tour guide and these truckers

1300
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 23: and these guys with AK forty seven's just in case.

1301
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 1: The craziest people from the Bronx.

1302
00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 23: If people travel from all over the world to have

1303
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 23: this experience because it is one of the most intense

1304
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 23: spiritual experiences I've ever had. The second one is my

1305
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 23: experience with the whales that I write about at the

1306
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 23: end of the book. But it was like to be

1307
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 23: in the jungle, to be with these creatures, and you

1308
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 23: realize we really do share like ninety seven ninety eight

1309
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 23: percent of our DNA with these animals, and they are

1310
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 23: You start to think like, oh, they're so human, but no,

1311
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 23: like we are so gorilla. And the craziest thing that

1312
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 23: happened was when they give you this orientation in the morning,

1313
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 23: They're like, if a gorilla gets close to you and

1314
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 23: is looking at you, the most important thing to do

1315
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 23: is not run. You have to to feel safe act

1316
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:47,399
Speaker 23: like a gorilla. So I was like, wait, I didn't

1317
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,680
Speaker 23: hear it through that lens because for me, I was

1318
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 23: like a young actor who had done animal exercises at school,

1319
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,280
Speaker 23: like this was my opportunity for this was my Meryl

1320
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 23: Street mode. So when the gorilla case from the tree,

1321
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 23: I was like a squad. I mean, everybody in my

1322
00:55:00,960 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 23: group was like, what is she? When I tell you

1323
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 23: that is the best performance of my life. I was

1324
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 23: I was the gorilla, The gorilla was me. I started,

1325
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 23: I picked off a leaf, started chewing on it, and

1326
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 23: we had the most incredible experience because this gorilla gorilla

1327
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,439
Speaker 23: kept getting closer and closer to us, and this little

1328
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 23: baby gorilla she was so curious. She was like, what,

1329
00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 23: We've never seen a human like this. She was like,

1330
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:29,759
Speaker 23: this one's one of us, but close. They just they

1331
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 23: got closer. The trekker said than they'd ever had a

1332
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 23: gorilla get to a group before. I mean the guy

1333
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 23: with the AK forty seven came right next to me

1334
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 23: because they were terrified.

1335
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 4: But I was like, don't stop, don't stop. Yeah, it

1336
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 4: was incredible.

1337
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, how you do tell you that just because.

1338
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 23: The experience that we got out of it. I mean

1339
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:49,759
Speaker 23: they said it to everybody in the group, but I

1340
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 23: was the best actor in the Wow. Yeah, when all

1341
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 23: of this is done, like everybody gets the book, they

1342
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 23: get to read it. Everybody should get the book. They

1343
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,319
Speaker 23: read the audio book. It's and my own words. So

1344
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 23: that's fun.

1345
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 8: What is the like the hug or the message that

1346
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 8: you want people to get from this book.

1347
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 23: I think, and this is something that I've written in

1348
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 23: the book, but there's a saying I heard a long

1349
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,399
Speaker 23: time ago that I really love that we are as

1350
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 23: sick as our secrets, and that when I think, when

1351
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 23: we can let go of the things that keep our

1352
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 23: true selves hidden, we can let go of our shame.

1353
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 4: You know, I knew when my parents told me.

1354
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 23: I realized that they had been living under this lie

1355
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 23: for so long that every time I had said I

1356
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 23: love you to my dad, whether it was conscious or unconscious,

1357
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 23: there must have been a part of him that thought,

1358
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 23: she loves me because she thinks I am her father.

1359
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 3: Wow.

1360
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:46,920
Speaker 23: And there must have been a part of him that thought,

1361
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 23: if she knew I wasn't her father, maybe she won't

1362
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 23: love me. That's part of why they didn't tell me.

1363
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 23: And so I had the opportunity, once they gave me

1364
00:56:56,320 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 23: that truth, to actually, for the first time, love my

1365
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 23: father unconditionally. And that's what we all deserve, that's what

1366
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 23: we all want. We want we want to know that

1367
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 23: no matter what we do, or how we act, or

1368
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 23: what we've done in the past, that we're lovable and

1369
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 23: that we're loved, and I feel like my family's in

1370
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,080
Speaker 23: that place now. But you only get there when you

1371
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 23: expose your truth, when you're vulnerable enough to show people

1372
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 23: who you are and they love you anyway, then you

1373
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 23: know that you are worthy of unconditional love.

1374
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 6: But I think your father proves that you know, just

1375
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 6: because somebody provides BERM doesn't make them He's an actual Yeah.

1376
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.

1377
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 23: And it's even like people will say like, well, do

1378
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 23: you know who your biological father is? And I'm still

1379
00:57:40,440 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 23: wrapping my head honestly around that language.

1380
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: Like do you want to know who the donor is?

1381
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 5: I was literally about to say I do.

1382
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 4: I'm searching.

1383
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 23: I'm looking, and again not because I need a daddy,

1384
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 23: right Like, I'm not looking for an emotional connection. I'm

1385
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,479
Speaker 23: really open. I mean I say that now, who knows

1386
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 23: when it was? You never know, Like you could walk

1387
00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 23: in the room and I gonna be like, but I

1388
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 23: think I'm just really curious about that fifty percent of me,

1389
00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 23: that genetic fifty percent of me. I think there is

1390
00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 23: a question. I know what I've gotten from my dad.

1391
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 23: I know from my dad I've gotten my sense of humor,

1392
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 23: my imagination, my belief in the impossible, my ability to

1393
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 23: tell a story. I know what I've gotten from my mom,

1394
00:58:20,200 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 23: my intellect, my intellectual curiosity, my grace, my compassion. I

1395
00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 23: don't know what I've gotten from the donor. I'm curious

1396
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 23: what part comes from him. And I'm curious just in

1397
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 23: terms of my medical history. I feel like I owe

1398
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 23: that to my kids, that they should know where they

1399
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 23: come from. But the emotional part of it, I'm open

1400
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 23: to let it be what it's going to be. Maybe

1401
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 23: it'll feel like I have additional family. Maybe it'll just

1402
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 23: feel like I have additional information. I feel good either way.

1403
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:48,960
Speaker 1: Can we with something you said in the epilogue?

1404
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 6: And I feel like it can relate to so many

1405
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 6: people you save My life is not about my donor,

1406
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 6: nor about my parents. My life is my own. What

1407
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 6: does that mean to you? And what could that mean

1408
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 6: the others?

1409
00:58:58,800 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 15: Yeah?

1410
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 23: So when my parents told me this information, I realized

1411
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 23: because they had built this narrative, this false narrative, about

1412
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 23: where I came from, I realized that in many ways

1413
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:16,280
Speaker 23: I had been the supporting character in their story right

1414
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 23: like they were living this life. They were Earl and Valerie,

1415
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,040
Speaker 23: parents of this beautiful child, successful middle class black family,

1416
00:59:23,120 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 23: like I was the supporting character in that fable, and

1417
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 23: when they gave me the truth, I felt like part

1418
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 23: of why I wanted to write the book was that

1419
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 23: it was time for me to step into being the

1420
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 23: lead character in the story of my life, to not

1421
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 23: let my life belong to them, to say, like, I

1422
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 23: deserve to be on this journey, this quest because I

1423
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 23: have my own story. Like, I get it, you had

1424
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 23: four decades of living this your way, but it's my

1425
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 23: turn to kind of take this narrative and figure out

1426
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 23: what my life means for me. So I love my parents.

1427
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 23: I do love being a supporting character in their life,

1428
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 23: but that has to be a ch I have to

1429
01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 23: know that fundamentally, my life is my own and that

1430
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 23: they because I have the most incredible parents, they now

1431
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 23: have the opportunity and have allowed themselves to be supporting

1432
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 23: characters in my story. And a lot of what I've

1433
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 23: learned about parenting has been about that choice on their part,

1434
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 23: because they have allowed themselves to be supporting characters for

1435
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,000
Speaker 23: me in this moment, which is humbling for all of us,

1436
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 23: with them in particular, right and as I look forward

1437
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 23: at my kids. I realize this is my moment. Like

1438
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,760
Speaker 23: this book. I am the protagonist of this book, but

1439
01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 23: I'm also the supporting character in the story of my kids,

1440
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,720
Speaker 23: and I want them to know that I have their

1441
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 23: back and that they have to live their own life.

1442
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 23: They shouldn't be living in the ways that make me comfortable.

1443
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,919
Speaker 23: They shouldn't be making choices that are for my own good.

1444
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 23: They have to make the right choices for them in

1445
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 23: the way that I'm making the right choices for me.

1446

01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 18: from the name.

1472
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,760
Speaker 2: On the breakfast club. Lauren came in hot.

1473
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 8: So there may be a new couple alerts soon if

1474
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:06,200
Speaker 8: this goes well. So, Chloe Bailey was on a Apple

1475
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 8: music show called The Dotty Show and she was asked

1476
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 8: who is your celebrity crush, and here's how she answered.

1477
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 5: It's Michael B.

1478
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:14,640
Speaker 15: Jordan.

1479
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 24: That's my celebrity crush. I've been said that in interviews

1480
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 24: even like years ago. But have you told him no,

1481
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 24: this is where we've got to work on your shoot.

1482
01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 24: In your shot, Chloe, I don't shoot my shot.

1483
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: So how is she gonna know? I don't know.

1484
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 5: I think you should right now, DM, Michael B.

1485
01:02:29,960 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 1: Jordan. Now you could be blocking your blessings.

1486
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 5: And I know you're big on blessings.

1487
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,680
Speaker 24: I'm big on blessings, but I'm like, God will bring

1488
01:02:35,720 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 24: my blessings to me when they're supposed to be here.

1489
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 24: We've got to stop expecting our blessings to lander our door, Chloe.

1490
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 24: But when we try to force it, we could block

1491
01:02:41,960 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 24: other blessings and then you end up giving them the

1492
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 24: eck exactly.

1493
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 5: Wow, what is it about Michael B.

1494
01:02:46,320 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: Jordan?

1495
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 15: Wow?

1496
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 5: Look at you blushing like he's in the room.

1497
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 24: That's crazy, just from thinking about him.

1498
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 1: That's great, No, Charlamagne, how does that make you feel?

1499
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,120
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? That's your cousin. She's a girl,

1500
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: a woman.

1501
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 18: Crushes.

1502
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 1: She can make her own decisions.

1503
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 8: I just feel like when you're a celebrity, though, and

1504
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 8: you put something out that like that in the air,

1505
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 8: like shoot if he's available, because I don't know if

1506
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 8: he's dating again or whatever since on Lloyd Harvey, but

1507
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,439
Speaker 8: if he's available, shoot one.

1508
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 6: Hundred and by the way, even if he's not available, Chloyd,

1509
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 6: don't care about all the white women that might go

1510
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,200
Speaker 6: be Jordan probably surrounding yo.

1511
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,919
Speaker 8: I mean that's another thing.

1512
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 5: She likes skin. Though he was dating Glory Hardy.

1513
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Dated Lori Harvey.

1514
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 8: Harvey feel like the darkest he probably might go is Chloe,

1515
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 8: So she might have a shot man.

1516
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: That's disrespectful.

1517
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 2: We don't know who he did before exactly that I've seen.

1518
01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't.

1519
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: Maybe she just couldn't keep it the white.

1520
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 5: Women, because Lori Harvey isn't a white woman.

1521
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: I know she's not. She's not.

1522
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 6: But I'm talking about after the white woman. He's probably

1523
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 6: surrounded by a bunch of milk right now. So I'm saying,

1524
01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 6: you don't care about all that milk anyway. I think

1525
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 6: Paul is milk out. We lack toos in tolerant.

1526
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I just.

01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:07,120

1550
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 2: What about the age differ because what he's thirty six,

1551
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 2: she's what twenty four?

1552
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: He?

1553
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 5: That doesn't matter.

1554
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,600
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. I like seeing Michael B. Jordan with

1555
01:04:58,600 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: black women.

1556
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 5: I would like that too. Yeah, why are you saying

1557
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 5: it to me like I'm the judget that jail.

1558
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I like seeing Michael B. Jordan with

1559
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: black women? Are you sure you by?

1560
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 6: That's what the B stand for, Michael, black women joyed,

1561
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 6: and that's what we wanted to stand for, not Michael

1562
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 6: Becky Jordan.

1563
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 5: My god, Well, shout out to them.

1564
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 8: I hope that they figured it out in the DMS

1565
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:21,960
Speaker 8: if he is available now moving on, moving on, so,

1566
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 8: j Cole shared something yesterday. He shared a letter from

1567
01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 8: Colin Kaepernick. Now, this letter was a letter that Colin

1568
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 8: Kaepernick wrote to the Jets back on September twenty first,

1569
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 8: and j Cole said in the caption that he had

1570
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 8: to actually acts Colin Kaepernick if he was able to

1571
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 8: share the letter. Colin was a little bit reluctant, but

1572
01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 8: Jay Cole said he wanted to share this letter because

1573
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 8: he wanted people to see how much Colin still wants

1574
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 8: to play football.

1575
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 5: And how ready he is now.

1576
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,280
Speaker 8: The letter, which is addressed to Joe Douglas, the general

1577
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 8: manager of the Jets, it basically just outlines the fact

1578
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 8: that Jay Cole and his team know that they are

1579
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 8: that the Jets are the big loss since Aaron was injured,

1580
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 8: and although they have Zach Wilson and now they have

1581
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 8: another person that they brought it on Tuesday. He feels

1582
01:06:07,880 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 8: like he wants to lead their practice team because this

1583
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 8: will give the Jets a reason to be watching him

1584
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 8: see how prepared he is. It can also help the

1585
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 8: team and then basically if they need a kind of

1586
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 8: contingency plan, he's there and he's already ready. So this

1587
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 8: letter was sent on the twenty first. There are reports

1588
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 8: though that the Jets have recently brought in a new

1589
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:31,200
Speaker 8: player as a Tuesday, a quarterback named Trevor's.

1590
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 1: Saman Sam trevor smen practice squad.

1591
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 5: Yeah to the practice squad.

1592
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 8: So I don't know if that means that it's over

1593
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 8: for Colin and that potential.

1594
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 2: I love Colin Kaepernick and I love everything he did

1595
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 2: for the sport. I love everything he did for standing

1596
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 2: up for people. But the problem I have now is

1597
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 2: it seems like he's begging to get back into the

1598
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 2: league I like, and I don't like to see that.

1599
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:51,920
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

1600
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 2: It's like you've done a lot, the league is boxed

1601
01:06:54,360 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 2: you out, and it's to the point now I don't

1602
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: want to see him asking to.

1603
01:06:57,720 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 3: Get back by that league.

1604
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 6: I wish that they didn't share that letter. I wish

1605
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:05,280
Speaker 6: that letter was never written. That letter was tragically sad

1606
01:07:05,560 --> 01:07:09,040
Speaker 6: and downright pathetic. Colin Kaepernick has let his set back

1607
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 6: become his identity, and I hate that for him. God

1608
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 6: exalted Colin Kaepernick into a position of leadership in regard

1609
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 6: to activism, and it pains me to see that man

1610
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 6: still begging to be in a league that he called

1611
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 6: racist and compared to a plantation, and I hate that he.

1612
01:07:23,040 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: Can never speak for himself.

1613
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 6: He always got somebody else speaking for him or putting

1614
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 6: out his messaging for him.

1615
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: That so whacked me.

1616
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 6: I wish Colin the best and all his endeavors, but

1617
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 6: just begging, you know, these same people you called racist

1618
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 6: for an opportunity is pitle.

1619
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:37,160
Speaker 1: I just don't want to.

1620
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 2: I'd rather go to what's the other league that they created,

1621
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 2: the XFL league or any other league. But it's the

1622
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: fact that they boxed him out. They don't want him

1623
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 2: in the league.

1624
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 8: Like that's clear, very clear, And I had to I

1625
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,640
Speaker 8: asked earlier in the room, like how good of a

1626
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 8: football player was he? Because the way that they just

1627
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 8: threw him out after all that, you would think that

1628
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:53,439
Speaker 8: he wasn't good.

1629
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: But it's a good player.

1630
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 6: This don't even seven years and God has God exalted

1631
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,720
Speaker 6: Colin happening into a position of leadership.

1632
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 2: Now understandably, he's been playing football probably since he was

1633
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,560
Speaker 2: three years old, so that's all he knows, and that's

1634
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 2: what he wants because you.

1635
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 6: Know something else, now, God got him in another position.

1636
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 6: But when you're looking back and it looks it's easy.

1637
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 2: For you to say, but when you're competitive, and you've

1638
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,519
Speaker 2: been playing since you've been three, and all you wanted

1639
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 2: was that ring, and you haven't got that ring. That's

1640
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,200
Speaker 2: probably what will make him stop, is getting that ring.

1641
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 6: It's pitiful to call an organization racist compared to the

1642
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 6: plantation and then still be begging to go back on

1643
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:28,200
Speaker 6: that planting.

1644
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 5: America racist and you live here.

1645
01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 6: That's a stupid I hate when people say that, because

1646
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 6: I mean, I've never known anything else and anything be

1647
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 6: playing for you three.

1648
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 5: And you have the resources and the means to move

1649
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,440
Speaker 5: to another country. You're very successful.

1650
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 3: Lauren.

1651
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:43,720
Speaker 6: What you said makes zero sense, but I'm gonna let

1652
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna let the YouTube comments and social media tell

1653
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 6: you how what you said.

1654
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 8: Listen the way that they've been getting me all week.

1655
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 8: That's totally following me. But I just I just hated.

1656
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 8: Just make sure you'll, I mean, when y'all do it

Speaker 6: work at Jack in the Box and she shot at

1680
01:09:54,080 --> 01:09:56,360
Speaker 6: a customer in the drive through all because they got

1681
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 6: into an argument because Jack in the Box forgot this

1682
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 6: family's order of curly fries. I can't make this kind

1683
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 6: of stuff up. Let's go to Fox twenty six News

1684
01:10:04,200 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 6: for the report.

1685
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:04,960
Speaker 1: Please.

1686
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:08,240
Speaker 23: A Jack in the Box employee opened fire on drive

1687
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 23: through customers.

1688
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:11,679
Speaker 25: A family had their dog their six year old daughter

1689
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,640
Speaker 25: in the car with them when they got into a

1690
01:10:13,680 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 25: dispute with an employee over a missing curly fries from

1691
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 25: an order at that Jack in the box. As Rainmos

1692
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 25: pulls up to that drive through window, he's then greeted

1693
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 25: by Ala Nia Ford, and once his food was handed over,

1694
01:10:25,160 --> 01:10:27,679
Speaker 25: an order of curly fries were missing from the bag.

1695
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 25: When he asked for them, he was told no. That's

1696
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 25: when the argument started. You can see Ramos in his

1697
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 25: red pickup truck going back and forth with Ford. She

1698
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:39,799
Speaker 25: walks away, comes back, and the argument continues. Another employee

1699
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 25: approaches the window to try and resolve the situation, but

1700
01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 25: in the midst of that, Ford comes back and starts

1701
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 25: arguing with Ramos yet again. She starts throwing ketchup pack

1702
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 25: is into his truck window, so he started throwing things back,

1703
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 25: but then Ford comes back yet again, points her gun

1704
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 25: directly at Ramos and starts.

1705
01:10:58,280 --> 01:10:59,920
Speaker 5: Shooting as he speeds away.

1706
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 25: Luckily, none of those bullets struck Ramos's vehicle and no

1707
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:07,480
Speaker 25: one was injured. Ford was charged and convicted of deadly conduct,

1708
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:11,000
Speaker 25: and recent documents show her probation ended in June of

1709
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 25: twenty twenty three.

1710
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:14,879
Speaker 6: This is why you can't fight fries with fire Jesus,

1711
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 6: especially in Texas. All right, Look, man, I understand folks

1712
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 6: are going through things. Folks are stressed out emotionally and mentally.

1713
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 6: People are at capacity. And this is really why we

1714
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 6: have to be kind to everyone we encountered, because you

1715
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 6: never know what folks are going through. Not making excuses

1716
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 6: for this woman at all, because she made a choice, right,

1717
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,799
Speaker 6: going to get your firearm because y'all having a dispute

1718
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 6: over some damn curly fries is a choice, all right.

1719
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 6: Choosing to fire set firearm at an individual, not just

1720
01:11:39,040 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 6: an individual, a whole family over curly fries is a choice.

1721
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 6: This man was in the car with his pregnant wife

1722
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,920
Speaker 6: and his six year old. I also would like to

1723
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 6: say fast food workers of America, it's never that serious.

1724
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 6: I literally was listening to Bishop tdj's sermon from this

1725
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 6: past Sunday called then interescapeable rolla service. There is no

1726
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 6: greater purpose on this planet for any of us other

1727
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 6: than to be of service. You, as a fast food worker,

1728
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 6: are providing a service. We are grateful for the service

1729
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,679
Speaker 6: you provide. It's a bunch of people right now trying

1730
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 6: to get to work, trying to get to school, and

1731
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 6: they are depending on you right now in that drive

1732
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 6: through to be prompt and precise so they can get

1733
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 6: what they ordered in a timely manner to make it

1734
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 6: where they need to be. So drop on the clues

1735
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 6: bonds for all the fast food workers out there being

1736
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 6: service this morning, okay, and doing their job. But this

1737
01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 6: is also why we appreciate Chick fil A workers, because

1738
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 6: the one thing all of us remember about Chick fil

1739
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 6: A workers is the.

1740
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 1: Way they make us feel. Okay, they make us feel

1741
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:31,800
Speaker 1: so good. All right.

1742
01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 6: My wife and I got Crystal franchises. We got Crystal

1743
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 6: franchises opening. That's all I want our employees to be

1744
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 6: is kind. I want folks to leave the establishment feeling

1745
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 6: good because the interaction is pleasant. If something is missing

1746
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 6: from the order, you check the receipt, see that they

1747
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,679
Speaker 6: did indeed pay for it, and give it to them.

1748
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 6: This why don't why I don't understand, Alanie Afford. What

1749
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 6: would it have hurt you to give this family their

1750
01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 6: order of curly fries? How much is in order? Let

1751
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 6: them a little funky ass curly fries a dollar?

1752
01:12:59,680 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay?

1753
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 6: At the end of the night, it's probably a bunch

1754
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 6: of curly fries left over that y'all just throw out.

1755
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 6: There's probably several orders of curly fries dropped on the floor.

1756
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 6: Jack in the Box right now, the president of the

1757
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,840
Speaker 6: Fat Lives Matter Committee who works here at the Breakfast Club.

1758
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 6: You'll get to see him in twenty twenty four. We

1759
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 6: need him to lose some weight before he makes his debut.

1760
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 6: But he wants me to remind y'all fast food workers

1761
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 6: that you don't get employee of the month for saving

1762
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 6: the company money on any products.

1763
01:13:25,160 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: All right.

1764
01:13:25,560 --> 01:13:29,839
Speaker 6: It don't matter if it's fountain drinks, sauces, apple pies, napkins, scraws,

1765
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,759
Speaker 6: French fries. You don't get a bonus for saving these items.

1766
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:34,839
Speaker 6: Your boss does not walk up to you and say.

1767
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:35,960
Speaker 1: We love the words.

1768
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:39,760
Speaker 6: You don't give people anything extracted, okay, and now you

1769
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,600
Speaker 6: have been promoted. This never happens, and I promise you

1770
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 6: Jack in the Box employees, Jack is not dying for you,

1771
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 6: all right. There's no reason to take your job that

1772
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:50,840
Speaker 6: serious that you get in a dispute over some damn

1773
01:13:50,880 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 6: curly fries. And the damn sure is not serious enough

1774
01:13:53,240 --> 01:13:55,479
Speaker 6: for you to pull a pistol out and get things popping,

1775
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,080
Speaker 6: like the grease those fries came out of.

1776
01:13:58,400 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: Unafford.

1777
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 6: Un Forward was convicted of aggravated the soul with a

1778
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 6: deadly weapon. Documents revealed that her probation concluded in June

1779
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,719
Speaker 6: of twenty twenty three. Aliana, you really tried your hardest

1780
01:14:09,800 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 6: to go from jack in the box to being in

1781
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 6: the box eating box.

1782
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how.

1783
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 6: You just got probation for this. Whoa, You are actually

1784
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 6: about the wrong life. Instead of being about thug life,

1785
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 6: you should be about that fast food life, because when

1786
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 6: you choose this fast food life, you have to be

1787
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 6: about this fast food life. You have to know that

1788
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,759
Speaker 6: when items is missing, folks are going to complain, especially

1789
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 6: with fries, because I'm not sharing my fries. I got

1790
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 6: a pregnant wife and a six year old in the car.

1791
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 6: They want fries, you know, damn well. Women and kids

1792
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 6: look at our fries as their fries, especially when they

1793
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,440
Speaker 6: don't have no fries, so you get them their own fries. Aliana,

1794
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 6: it is your job as a fast food worker to serve.

1795
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 6: Because as a customer, I did my job and served you.

1796
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 6: I spent my money with the establishment you work at,

1797
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 6: which ultimately helps you to.

1798
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: Pay your bills.

1799
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 6: Look, we all make mistakes, and you know that saying

1800
01:14:56,880 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 6: don't be afraid to make mistakes because that's how you learn.

1801
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 6: And bro, well, this don't apply to this, all right,

1802
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 6: Shooting at someone over some curly fries is a mistake

1803
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 6: you should be afraid to make. And this is why

1804
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 6: I never underestimate the power of human stupidity, because only

1805
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:14,519
Speaker 6: two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And

1806
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,760
Speaker 6: I'm not even sure about the former. Okay, please give

1807
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 6: Ali on the Ford the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.

01:15:46,040 --> 01:15:46,439

Speaker 2: see you tomorrow, see you later.

1828
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,439
Speaker 1: What we're doing the Colin Kaepernick covey? Yeah, okay, all right, well.

1829
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 2: Let's open up the phone lines eight hundred and five

1830
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:26,519
Speaker 2: eight five one oh five on if you' just joining us.

1831
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Laura la Rosso reported about Colin Kaepernick sending me Jets

1832
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 2: a letter, right, and what did the letter say?

1833
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 8: The letter said that he wanted to lead their practice

1834
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,240
Speaker 8: squad because of everything that happened with Aaron Rodgers.

1835
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 5: So for two reasons.

1836
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:41,640
Speaker 8: Number one, he wants to help them get ready for

1837
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,680
Speaker 8: the opponents are going to come up against, including like

1838
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 8: a jailing Hurts. And number two, it will show the

1839
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 8: team that he is ready to play. And in case

1840
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 8: anything happens with the people that they may be going

1841
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:52,400
Speaker 8: with to replace Aaron, he's right there.

1842
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 5: He's ready. He's the best contenter.

1843
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:53,720
Speaker 1: Ray.

1844
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 6: That letter was tragically sad and downright pathetic, and like

1845
01:16:57,720 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 6: I just said, Colin Kaepernick has let his set back

1846
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 6: come his identity and I hate that for him.

1847
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 2: Well let's talk about it. Eight hundred five eight five

1848
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 2: one oh five on what are your thoughts. Do you

1849
01:17:05,960 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 2: feel like Charlemagne at the letter sat and he shouldn't

1850
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 2: be thinking about getting back in the league, or do

1851
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 2: you feel like he's been doing it since he was

1852
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:13,720
Speaker 2: three years old and he still has goals, he still

1853
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 2: has things on this.

1854
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 6: Point, At what point do you realize God exalted you

1855
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 6: into a better position. God exalted you to a greater purpose.

1856
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:22,839
Speaker 6: Because that's what I feel like he did with Colin Kaepernick.

1857
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 6: He exalted him into a position of leadership in regarded

1858
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 6: the activism. Well, let's talk about it when we come back,

1859
01:17:27,280 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 6: because you know, although also you know, I wouldn't be

1860
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 6: mad if Colin Kaepernick went to an HBCU and began

1861
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 6: and started coaching.

1862
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at that. That's fantastic.

1863
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,000
Speaker 5: Is that not on the table? Like why?

1864
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: I don't know?

1865
01:17:38,040 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 5: That's so on brain, I don't know.

1866
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I would love. Nothing, We'll talk

1867
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: about those programs.

1868
01:17:42,200 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 2: That's what I would love because he would bring eyes

1869
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 2: to those programs like a high with a Hampton a

1870
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:47,720
Speaker 2: fam you or nothing would be.

1871
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 6: On the table because you can block your blessings when

1872
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 6: you're when you're unwilling to let certain things go.

1873
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 2: But let's discuss. We'll talk when we come back. Eight

1874
01:17:53,479 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 2: hundred five eight five one oh five one. It's the

1875
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Come morning, the Breakfast Club.

1876
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 6: It's topic time called eight hundred five five five one

1877
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 6: to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

1878
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: Morning everybody.

1879
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:16,880
Speaker 2: It's DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

1880
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:19,519
Speaker 2: Laura LaRosa, our special guest host is here. And if

1881
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 2: you're just joining us, we're talking about Colin Kaepernick. Now

1882
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 2: you reported the story Lauren in rumors? What what was

1883
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 2: the letter that he wrote to the Jets.

1884
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 8: Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jets asking to

1885
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 8: lead their practice team for two reasons. He says that

1886
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 8: he thinks that he can get the team ready for

1887
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:36,599
Speaker 8: all the competition are going to be coming up against

1888
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 8: in a way that won't like Threaten Zach or whoever

1889
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:41,760
Speaker 8: will be playing in Aaron Rodgers spot. But also he

1890
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 8: wants the team to see that he is ready to play.

1891
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 8: He is the best contingency plan if anyone gets injured

1892
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 8: or just can't do the job.

1893
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:49,880
Speaker 2: So we're asking eight hundred and five A five one

1894
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 2: oh five one, what are your thoughts?

1895
01:18:51,840 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: Charlomanne, I'm gonna say exactly what I said a little

1896
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: while ago.

1897
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 6: It's tragically sad and downright pathetic that Colin Kaepernick wrote

1898
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 6: that letter because he has led his set back become

1899
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 6: his identity.

1900
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I said it a million times.

1901
01:19:03,560 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 6: God exalted Colin Kaepernick into a position of leadership in

1902
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:09,200
Speaker 6: regards to activism, and it pains me to see that

1903
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 6: man begging to be in a league that he called

1904
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:14,480
Speaker 6: a racist and compared to a plantation.

1905
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 1: And I hate that he can never speak for himself.

1906
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 6: He always got somebody else speaking for him or putting

1907
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 6: out messaging for him.

1908
01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: That's so whacked to me.

1909
01:19:24,320 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 6: And I wish Colin the best and all his endeavors,

1910
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,800
Speaker 6: but just begging the same people he called racist for

1911
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 6: an opportunity is absolutely pitiful to me.

1912
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 1: Lauren.

1913
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 8: I thought that at first, if he got back in,

1914
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:38,640
Speaker 8: he was going to be able to do like the

1915
01:19:38,640 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 8: whole I can change within. But y'all saying it's not

1916
01:19:41,240 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 8: giving up. I don't understand why he would want to

1917
01:19:43,520 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 8: be there, like I would never go back to something

1918
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 8: I left that wasn't good for me.

1919
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:49,560
Speaker 2: I do see both sides, right, And the reason I

1920
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,320
Speaker 2: see both sides is because I do feel like he's

1921
01:19:52,320 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 2: begging to get back in the league, and I don't

1922
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 2: like that. I don't like the fact that the league

1923
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 2: has boxed you out.

1924
01:19:57,360 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 5: The letter is even very yes, sir.

1925
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 1: Yes, like so many reasons league.

1926
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they give you so many reasons why they don't

1927
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 2: want you in the league, and you still are begging

1928
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 2: to get back in the league.

1929
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:07,640
Speaker 1: I don't like that.

1930
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 2: But on the flip side, trying to sit in Colin

1931
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 2: Kaepernick's shoes as a young boy at three years old,

1932
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 2: that's been doing football and football ain't easy, right as

1933
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 2: a as a dad that my kids play football. It's

1934
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 2: five days a week, rain, snow or whatever, one game

1935
01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 2: on Sunday and then back on practice again. It's very

1936
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,599
Speaker 2: It's a lot, and these are years. He's probably been

1937
01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 2: doing this for twenty thirty years, his whole life, so

1938
01:20:30,439 --> 01:20:32,400
Speaker 2: it's his whole life. So to him, he's probably never

1939
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,559
Speaker 2: closed that chapter. And that chapter might be a ring,

1940
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 2: it might be playoffs, it might be one of those

1941
01:20:37,800 --> 01:20:39,320
Speaker 2: things that he's never got that and.

1942
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: Let's not let's be let's be serious. Let's be honest.

1943
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 2: The Jets are trash. The Jets need somebody. So it's

1944
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:47,040
Speaker 2: not like it's a it's a far fetched I think.

1945
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 8: To me listening to y'all talk about the quarterbacks that

1946
01:20:50,240 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 8: they have right now in that position and how bad

1947
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 8: they are. And the fact that he wrote this letter

1948
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 8: and it basically went ignored and they brought in somebody else,

1949
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 8: that hurt my heart even more because I feel like

1950
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 8: the way that I look at Colin Kaepernick for what

1951
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 8: he did, it's just like, man, forget them people like

1952
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 8: we got you wherever you go, right. Athletes religiously cannot

1953
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,719
Speaker 8: give it up sometimes.

1954
01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:11,519
Speaker 1: Until they forced to.

1955
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 6: So when God exalts you into a position that's greater

1956
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 6: than football, you know you got to leave who you

1957
01:21:16,920 --> 01:21:18,600
Speaker 6: are and love who you are and look forward to

1958
01:21:18,640 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 6: who you will become.

1959
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1960
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 6: Like, I think that the purpose that he serves now

1961
01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 6: and has served over the last few years is way

1962
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 6: greater than football, and it's kind of a slap in

1963
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 6: the face to God to not embrace that and not

1964
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 6: accept that and continue to beg these same people you

1965
01:21:34,760 --> 01:21:37,760
Speaker 6: called racist and said the league was a plantation.

1966
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,759
Speaker 1: You're begging to be back and change college.

1967
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:44,080
Speaker 6: This is I'm using your words, right, But you said

1968
01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,320
Speaker 6: that this is a plantation, So you beg it. Please

1969
01:21:46,400 --> 01:21:48,880
Speaker 6: chave me up masters, I'll even you can put me

1970
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:49,719
Speaker 6: on the practice squad.

1971
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,679
Speaker 1: I don't even want to be on the team. Chame

1972
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: me up with the practice squad. Ain't like that.

1973
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 2: But it's also and I'm not comparing them to a druggy,

1974
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:56,800
Speaker 2: but it's almost like a druggie, right, And when I

1975
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,200
Speaker 2: mean a druggie, you can't tell a druggie when it's

1976
01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 2: time to give it up. They have to tell themselves.

1977
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 2: They have to say, you know what, I'm giving up drugs.

1978
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 2: And for him, he has to give up that chase.

1979
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:06,720
Speaker 2: And he hasn't given up that chase.

1980
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 6: There's also why I don't want to hear anybody comparing

1981
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 6: him to Muhammad Ali.

1982
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: He will do that because when Mhammad.

1983
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 2: Ali, what people do that?

1984
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 6: Because when because when Muhammad Ali, you know, got his

1985
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 6: boxing licensed script, you know, he ate that because he

1986
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:25,799
Speaker 6: understood that what he was standing for was bigger than boxing.

1987
01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:27,639
Speaker 6: But he got to fight again. You know he got

1988
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,080
Speaker 6: after a few years, but he but he But in

1989
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 6: those few years, he never made it about him. He

1990
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,519
Speaker 6: always kept it about the movement. He always kept it

1991
01:22:35,560 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 6: about the message that he was standing for always. And

1992
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 6: when you make stands that are bigger than you, you

1993
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 6: know that there's going to be consequences and repercussions and

1994
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 6: that comes with it, and you have to be willing

1995
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 6: to deal with that when you make these kind of stands.

1996
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: But let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this can?

1997
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: What's up?

1998
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 12: Man?

1999
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: What's your thought? What's your take?

2000
01:22:55,640 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 12: But saying man, football is it is hard. So I'm

2001
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 12: a man of guard, So I understand the heart. Whatever's

2002
01:23:02,760 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 12: in your heart? What was for you? So the man

2003
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 12: wrote a letter, It's like you messed up with one

2004
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 12: of your friends or your mom or your dad. You

2005
01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 12: need to seek people you want to put a letter

2006
01:23:10,600 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 12: to write it take it back in the league.

2007
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,240
Speaker 6: For black men, black man a black man. He didn't

2008
01:23:18,240 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 6: mess up with the NFL. The NFL did him dirty.

2009
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 6: He didn't mess up, So why should he be writing

2010
01:23:24,400 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 6: a letter begging to get back with the person who

2011
01:23:26,960 --> 01:23:29,000
Speaker 6: broke his heart, that did him dirty?

2012
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,160
Speaker 1: Hello, who's not using no common sense here this.

2013
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 26: Money, Yes, just unique unique.

2014
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: Good morning.

2015
01:23:35,200 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 3: What's your thoughts?

2016
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 27: Good morning, good morning. Yes, you know what, it's terrible

2017
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 27: that Colin Kaepernick even has the beg for his die back.

2018
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,479
Speaker 27: Why because he's a great football player and I think

2019
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 27: it's no reason for him not to be able to

2020
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 27: do both things, advocate for black rights and rights with

2021
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,280
Speaker 27: black people and the treatment you know that we're going through,

2022
01:23:55,360 --> 01:23:58,799
Speaker 27: and him being a football player because that's what he does.

2023
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,559
Speaker 17: So yeah, the only thing.

2024
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 8: Is if you're doing both, there's gonna be so much repercussions.

2025
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 8: Like there's no way you can go into a job

2026
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 8: and say, y'all racist, y'all do this, y'all do that

2027
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,040
Speaker 8: and expect them the employee of the month. You like,

2028
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,400
Speaker 8: there's a separate there has to be a separation of two.

2029
01:24:14,240 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 6: I would think once you say that about your your

2030
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,120
Speaker 6: your your employee, you done with them.

2031
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 8: I would think once you think that unless you need

2032
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 8: money or something like that. But he doesn't need that.

2033
01:24:22,479 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what the Keith Yo, what's hey?

2034
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:27,280
Speaker 1: Man?

2035
01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 13: This is Keith from Florida. Man, isn't isn't Colin breaking?

2036
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 13: Like one of the four they eight laws of power.

2037
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 26: You never beg your enemy for mercy.

2038
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:38,880
Speaker 17: Why would you do something like that?

2039
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 13: You already caught them races? Why would you go back

2040
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 13: to try to apply in the league that said numerous

2041
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 13: times that they don't want to.

2042
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,200
Speaker 12: I called my one of.

2043
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 13: My employees race.

2044
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 3: I will never go back to that job again.

2045
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: That's right. I mean, it's the truth.

2046
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,280
Speaker 6: Once you set fire to the plantation, the plantation is

2047
01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,439
Speaker 6: burned down, you think Jangles that fight, I'm gonna use

2048
01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 6: a real character.

2049
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,479
Speaker 1: You think Nat Turner, you know, was rescuing all.

2050
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,120
Speaker 6: Those people and killed all those slave masters in their

2051
01:25:08,160 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 6: family only to bring people back to the plantation.

2052
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 5: You lost it.

2053
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,120
Speaker 1: Once you do that, you're you're trying to escape.

2054
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 5: You ask of us? Are Kanya eight.

2055
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 2: Five eight five five one? We're talking Colin Kaepernick. Colin

2056
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 2: Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jet said he wanted

2057
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 2: to be on their practice the practice squad.

2058
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Let's discuss. It's the breakfast Club.

2063
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: With the Breakfast Club. Talk about it more thing, everybody.

2064
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,599
Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy.

2065
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:45,559
Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club. We got our special guest,

2066
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,400
Speaker 2: co host Laura Larossa. Yes, sir, and if you're just

2067
01:25:48,479 --> 01:25:50,879
Speaker 2: joining us, we're talking about Colin Kaepernick.

2068
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,560
Speaker 1: Now. What happened with Colin Kaepernick and a letter he

2069
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: sent to the Jets.

2070
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 8: So, Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jets asking

2071
01:25:56,160 --> 01:25:59,719
Speaker 8: to lead their practice squad, to help them get ready

2072
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 8: for the opposition and to basically show them whenever they

2073
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 8: need a quarterback, he's ready.

2074
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:07,679
Speaker 5: He's going to be the go to. And yes, I said,

2075
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 5: the practice squad.

2076
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't like him begging for the spot.

2077
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 2: I do understand that he's been doing this probably since

2078
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: a young kid, and he's been doing it all his

2079
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 2: life and this is what he wants. He he hasn't

2080
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 2: closed that chapter in his life. But I just feel

2081
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 2: like at this point, you beg it and I would

2082
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: prefer you use everything that you know, your skills, the practices,

2083
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 2: and I would rather go to an HBC you and

2084
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 2: teach those student be so fun. I mean, and there's

2085
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:31,720
Speaker 2: a bunch of them that need the help, that need

2086
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 2: the eyes on them, and I think that will get

2087
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: a lot of students to go to HBCUs because the

2088
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:37,559
Speaker 2: eyes will be in at school.

2089
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be the most powerful thing to do.

2090
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 6: But the reason, the reason that that Colin probably can't

2091
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 6: see things like that is because he's let his identity.

2092
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's let his set back become his identity.

2093
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,799
Speaker 6: And we all know, in order to stop blocking blessings,

2094
01:26:50,840 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 6: you have to let things go.

2095
01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 1: You can't hold on to things of the past. You

2096
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.

2097
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 6: You gotta let go of the past, but keep the

2098
01:26:56,800 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 6: lessons it taught you. You know what I mean, But

2099
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,880
Speaker 6: you got to you gotta let it go.

2100
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:01,920
Speaker 5: Identity, What do you mean?

2101
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 6: Because he's let his set back become his identity because

2102
01:27:05,760 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 6: God exalted him into a position of leadership and activism.

2103
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 6: If Colin would have really just focused on that and

2104
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 6: kept that going and said, really, if the NFL, I

2105
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 6: didn't call them racist, I didn't call it a plantation,

2106
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:20,160
Speaker 6: I don't want to be over there no more. I'm

2107
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 6: gonna be over here helping my people, we'd be looking

2108
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 6: at him like that. But now we're looking at him

2109
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:28,759
Speaker 6: as this pitiful person who keeps begging the NFL, begging

2110
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 6: his plantation to be back in change.

2111
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's go to that I don't like it. You got

2112
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: mad people on the line.

2113
01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:35,640
Speaker 13: I know who's this, Mayor Rich timas Maultvernon.

2114
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: Hey, mayor Rich from Mount Vernon.

2115
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 13: You the mayor of the actual mayor.

2116
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 22: Yeah, I had the sledge of engaging Kaepernick crew and

2117
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 22: bassonors pass when he was going through the movement. And

2118
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:52,160
Speaker 22: the reality is, you know, look, perhaps your own should

2119
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:53,040
Speaker 22: ask a bigger question.

2120
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 13: How come the league won't let him play?

2121
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:56,680
Speaker 12: It's not like you can't throw the ball. It's not

2122
01:27:56,720 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 12: like he didn't playing the Super Bowl.

2123
01:27:58,800 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 13: You know he's been blacklist and that we know if

2124
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 13: we know this.

2125
01:28:03,320 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 22: But the bottom line is, just like any other team

2126
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 22: that needs to quarter back should consider Cap. I say,

2127
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:10,240
Speaker 22: bring back Cap, give him a shot to throw the

2128
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 22: ball again, even though he you know, let him move

2129
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:15,679
Speaker 22: and it's time him to get back on the field

2130
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 22: and face the ball.

2131
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 6: Can ask agal questions behind, can ask a bigger question,

2132
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 6: why do we want this for Cap? If if Cap

2133
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 6: said that point, if Cap said is racist, If Cap

2134
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:27,360
Speaker 6: said he's been blacklisted, if Cap said it's the plantation,

2135
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 6: why would we want to send our brother back on

2136
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:29,759
Speaker 6: the plantation?

2137
01:28:29,960 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 13: Well, he said he wants to play. Maybe there have

2138
01:28:32,080 --> 01:28:32,639
Speaker 13: been changes.

2139
01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 12: You know.

2140
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 22: Look, Jay Z has had success in negotiating some I

2141
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:38,880
Speaker 22: want to call a form of reparations for the league,

2142
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 22: right for the players, for the entertainers, the.

2143
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 13: Music scene in the pastor Super Bowls.

2144
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,559
Speaker 22: So I think it's kind for Cap to get back

2145
01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 22: to play.

2146
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 12: Why not let him get on the field and play ball?

2147
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: Thank you man.

2148
01:28:48,240 --> 01:28:50,559
Speaker 2: I will say this though, and this is not right,

2149
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:52,439
Speaker 2: and I know people are gonna be mad at the

2150
01:28:52,479 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 2: way that this is said.

2151
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:55,720
Speaker 1: But if you create a stink in the.

2152
01:28:55,760 --> 01:28:58,640
Speaker 2: League right where people feel a certain way about you,

2153
01:28:58,880 --> 01:28:59,759
Speaker 2: this is a business.

2154
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:01,840
Speaker 1: And if I own one of those teams, would you

2155
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 1: want to hire.

2156
01:29:02,400 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 2: Kaepernick on your team not knowing what he's going to do,

2157
01:29:04,479 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 2: not knowing what he's going to bring to your team

2158
01:29:07,720 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 2: when you just want to bring wins?

2159
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's see, that's a decision that

2160
01:29:12,160 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: if you're an owner.

2161
01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 2: I think a lot of those owners which are not black,

2162
01:29:14,960 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 2: are white owners. We have one black owner, which is magic.

2163
01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:18,640
Speaker 8: They don't even want to hear from the wives of

2164
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,320
Speaker 8: the players, So you think that they want to get

2165
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,720
Speaker 8: put Colin Kaepernick on their team to then be able

2166
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 8: to have conversations and like all of that right, No

2167
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 8: to answer your question, but this is all stuff that

2168
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:30,640
Speaker 8: we know, so I don't like unless he's able to

2169
01:29:30,680 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 8: come in and really like from the inside, infiltrate, I

2170
01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 8: don't see what it does for his life is not

2171
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 8: just about him in football anymore. Like he is so

2172
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:41,840
Speaker 8: much more now to us what I thought he is.

2173
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:43,360
Speaker 8: He he's going to realize it.

2174
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: Jazzy, good morning, good morning.

2175
01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:50,120
Speaker 26: I'm sitting outside of Ale before I go in.

2176
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:52,800
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, but us.

2177
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 26: But anyways, I agree with Charlie Man mainly because of

2178
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 26: the fact that like you're begging to be somewhere and

2179
01:29:58,439 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 26: where they don't want you, Like it's.

2180
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:01,000
Speaker 9: Kind of embarrassing.

2181
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,680
Speaker 26: Yes, in a sense, it's like instead of you know,

2182
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 26: I understand that he's football is his life, whatever, But

2183
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 26: create your own money, create your own table, Do what

2184
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:12,920
Speaker 26: junior league do, training camp. Do something that they'll see

2185
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 26: you for you. They'll see you by yourself instead of

2186
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 26: surround you with that NFL trauma, that NFL bull crap.

2187
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 26: Like yeah, Roger Goodell like gave him an apology, but

2188
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 26: wasn't really an apology because he still ain't hired. So

2189
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:25,400
Speaker 26: why are you still trying to get.

2190
01:30:25,320 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: In there, and it's sad. It's sad.

2191
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:30,320
Speaker 6: It's sad that we want to we were begging him

2192
01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 6: to go with It's like we're pushing him to go back.

2193
01:30:32,200 --> 01:30:36,120
Speaker 6: It's like, no, no, you you left the plantation. You

2194
01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:39,840
Speaker 6: told us about the atrocities that are happening on the plantation.

2195
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:42,240
Speaker 2: The plantation or was he fired from the plantation? It

2196
01:30:42,360 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 2: was fired, right because he didn't love. He was fired,

2197
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 2: he was let go.

2198
01:30:45,240 --> 01:30:48,400
Speaker 1: And then he called him out the rousis and obviously

2199
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,559
Speaker 1: that that was true because they apologize. They cut him

2200
01:30:50,560 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 1: a check. We don't know how much the check was for.

2201
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 2: And he wants to play, and I get it, but

2202
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 2: it's to the point where.

2203
01:30:56,120 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: It's like when do you let it go?

2204
01:30:57,240 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, he's been doing this

2205
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 2: since probably the age of three. This is all he knows.

2206
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 2: And that book, that chapter in this book is not

2207
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 2: done for himself.

2208
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,480
Speaker 6: Man, when God exalts you to a position of leadership

2209
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 6: the way he did Colin Kaepernick, you have to go lead.

2210
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:14,680
Speaker 8: Playing devil's advocate though, right if he was to be

2211
01:31:14,720 --> 01:31:17,080
Speaker 8: able to get back on the team, and he can't

2212
01:31:17,200 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 8: really do or say too much just him playing, is

2213
01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 8: that a symbol of aha in your faces, Like does

2214
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:24,679
Speaker 8: that mean anything?

2215
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 6: No, it's a symbol of oh we racist, We the plantation.

2216
01:31:29,560 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 6: But you begged us to come, get put back and change.

2217
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 6: Now you back in change working for us again. And

2218
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 6: how was that going to change the league in any way,

2219
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,799
Speaker 6: shape or form? Like, how was that going to change

2220
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:42,800
Speaker 6: the system of the NFL? And Lauren, you said to

2221
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:44,800
Speaker 6: me what you asked me earlier, You said, what'd you

2222
01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:46,000
Speaker 6: say about America?

2223
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,200
Speaker 5: Oh? I said, you still stay here even though there's

2224
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:49,880
Speaker 5: a lot Yeah.

2225
01:31:50,040 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2226
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,439
Speaker 6: The difference I think is America is a system that

2227
01:31:53,840 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 6: we were all going into.

2228
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: And it's a system that promises us certain things.

2229
01:31:57,400 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 6: It promises it's citizens certain things, free them, liberty and

2230
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:03,960
Speaker 6: justice for all. What we've historically seen that this system

2231
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:07,679
Speaker 6: only provided justice for some, and we have fought against

2232
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 6: this system since the beginning of time.

2233
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,559
Speaker 1: We aren't begging to be a part of this system.

2234
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:16,080
Speaker 6: We are a part of this system, and as it

2235
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 6: currently is, we don't like it, and we're demanding for

2236
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:19,839
Speaker 6: things to change.

2237
01:32:20,040 --> 01:32:20,960
Speaker 1: Colin not doing that.

2238
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:24,000
Speaker 6: He called them racists, compared them to a plantation, and

2239
01:32:24,040 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 6: now he's just begging to be a part of that system.

2240
01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,000
Speaker 6: Did you hear anything in that letter that sound like

2241
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:30,599
Speaker 6: he's trying to change the system. It sounds like he's

2242
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,519
Speaker 6: trying to conform. He wants to play football. He trying,

2243
01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 6: he's ready to conform. Like, No, I don't like it, bro,

2244
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:37,599
Speaker 6: I don't like it. I think it's pathetic.

2245
01:32:37,640 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 2: And then it gets back to and I know it's

2246
01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:42,280
Speaker 2: costly to doing the things like ice Cubi's doing and

2247
01:32:42,360 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 2: creating our.

2248
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,240
Speaker 1: Own spaces in our own league.

2249
01:32:44,400 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 2: I mean, of course, we can't create another NFL because

2250
01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 2: that will cost billions of billions and billions and billions

2251
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:51,559
Speaker 2: of dollars. But we've seen the success that ice Cubis

2252
01:32:51,600 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 2: had with Big Three and it's gave given a lot

2253
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,760
Speaker 2: of players another opportunity, and hopefully one day we can

2254
01:32:56,800 --> 01:32:57,840
Speaker 2: create that for ourselves.

2255
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:01,240
Speaker 1: And also, man, there's one more point. Yes, Colin took.

2256
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 6: A knee for police brutality. We salute him, we celebrate him.

2257
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 6: He took a knee, you know, to raise awareness to

2258
01:33:10,200 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 6: the brutality that black and browns came on were facing

2259
01:33:13,200 --> 01:33:15,360
Speaker 6: it the hands of the police. As soon as he

2260
01:33:15,400 --> 01:33:19,760
Speaker 6: got backlash, as soon as he got blacklisted, somehow that

2261
01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 6: movement turned into justice for Colin what happened to the

2262
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 6: bigger issue, which is taking the knee for police brutality.

2263
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:30,160
Speaker 1: That's what this was about.

2264
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 6: This wasn't about, you know, oh, Colin's getting blacklisted from

2265
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 6: the NFL. We should have expected Colin to get blacklisted

2266
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:39,360
Speaker 6: from the NFL. When you make a stand like that

2267
01:33:39,720 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 6: and then you called the NFL racist and called the

2268
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:44,080
Speaker 6: NFL a plantation.

2269
01:33:43,800 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 1: We should expect that. And he got to be able

2270
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:46,240
Speaker 1: to eat that.

2271
01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,400
Speaker 6: And once again, that's why I don't like when people

2272
01:33:48,400 --> 01:33:50,080
Speaker 6: compare to Muhammad Ali.

2273
01:33:50,680 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali ate it.

2274
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:55,000
Speaker 6: He got his boxing lin and script away from him,

2275
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 6: and he understood that he was standing for something bigger

2276
01:33:57,360 --> 01:33:58,200
Speaker 6: than his boxing career.

2277
01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:00,559
Speaker 1: And I get it. I didn't expect him to get

2278
01:34:00,560 --> 01:34:01,240
Speaker 1: fired out the league.

2279
01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:02,760
Speaker 2: And the reason I didn't get I didn't expect that

2280
01:34:02,880 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 2: is because he wasn't the only one. There was numerous

2281
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 2: players neely and he was the only one that pretty

2282
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 2: much was.

2283
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,160
Speaker 1: There was a couple like that that got that X,

2284
01:34:11,240 --> 01:34:13,040
Speaker 1: but there was a lot of players doing it.

2285
01:34:13,080 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 6: The first Soldjio over the hill always takes the most bullets, right,

2286
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 6: all right, Well, we got rooms on the way, but

2287
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:18,639
Speaker 6: we're talking about yes, we're.

2288
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 8: Talking about Nick Cannon and him saying that Mariah Carey

2289
01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,200
Speaker 8: saved his life when he first got diagnosed with lucas.

2290
01:34:24,240 --> 01:34:25,759
Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast

2291
01:34:25,760 --> 01:34:28,280
Speaker 2: slogan woman the Breakfast Club.

2292
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:43,880
Speaker 15: All right, let's get right to it. Rumor.

2293
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:46,599
Speaker 18: I think a lot of people will recognize the boys

2294
01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:48,519
Speaker 18: to the name on.

2295
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:49,479
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club.

2296
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 2: Lauren came in Hot.

2297
01:34:54,080 --> 01:34:56,800
Speaker 5: Now Nick Cannon is talking about Mariah Carey.

2298
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 8: He sat down with a podcast called The Diary of

2299
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:02,920
Speaker 8: a ce oh, and he recalled the time where he

2300
01:35:03,040 --> 01:35:05,920
Speaker 8: found out that he had lupus, and once he said

2301
01:35:05,920 --> 01:35:08,519
Speaker 8: that he credits to Mariah Carey for finding out or

2302
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,080
Speaker 8: helping him to find out, but also once he found

2303
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:12,440
Speaker 8: out what was happening.

2304
01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:14,360
Speaker 5: She basically saved this life. Let's listen to the audio.

2305
01:35:14,920 --> 01:35:15,960
Speaker 1: She was my rock man.

2306
01:35:16,400 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 16: Was She went hard, to be honest, Probably wouldn't be

2307
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:22,599
Speaker 16: alive if it wasn't for how hard she went, you know,

2308
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 16: with the doctors, with me, my stubbornness. You know, she

2309
01:35:27,439 --> 01:35:31,519
Speaker 16: was the perfect helpmate, the perfect matriarch, the perfect mom,

2310
01:35:31,600 --> 01:35:35,840
Speaker 16: the perfect wife in those scenarios, because granted, she's who

2311
01:35:35,920 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 16: she is and dealing with all the pressures of being

2312
01:35:38,520 --> 01:35:42,200
Speaker 16: Mariah Carey but then being loving enough to.

2313
01:35:42,360 --> 01:35:43,799
Speaker 1: Take on all of my stuff.

2314
01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 16: And it probably took a toll on us just because

2315
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:51,120
Speaker 16: of the person I was in my head and the

2316
01:35:51,160 --> 01:35:53,680
Speaker 16: struggles that I was dealing with. So I probably took

2317
01:35:53,720 --> 01:35:56,240
Speaker 16: a toll on our relationship, but it definitely brought.

2357
01:37:21,439 --> 01:37:23,200
Speaker 2: I don't know if Mariah's missing peace, but it does

2358
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,320

2367
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,720

2368
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:48,120
Speaker 8: those things have been said, but I will say that

2369
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 8: it's good to hear him always because he does talk

2370
01:37:51,400 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 8: about our lot and I always used to feel like why,

2371
01:37:53,800 --> 01:37:57,719
Speaker 8: but hearing this story like yeah, like she literally saved

2372
01:37:57,720 --> 01:37:58,080
Speaker 8: his life.

2373
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,160
Speaker 1: I'm positive it's good for the kids to hear that.

2374
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:02,720
Speaker 6: The kids are like, yeah, I thought you want to

2375
01:38:02,720 --> 01:38:04,519
Speaker 6: hear pops talking about the This is so wild.

2376
01:38:04,520 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 2: Think about it like this, right if if somebody is

2377
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 2: beefing with their baby mom and they talk bad about him.

2378
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: Like, what are you talk bad about your baby mom? White?

2379
01:38:11,160 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 2: He talks positive about his ex, talks positive about his

2380
01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 2: baby mom is his ex wife and the mother of

2381
01:38:16,880 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 2: his kids, and people.

2382
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:19,600
Speaker 1: What are you always talking about? What are you like?

2383
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:20,439
Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do?

2384
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:23,799
Speaker 8: I think it's because it's Mariah Carey. You people feel

2385
01:38:23,800 --> 01:38:28,640
Speaker 8: like he was the like he was more involved in

2386
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 8: the relationship, like because of the power dynamic, say with

2387
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 8: your chest.

2388
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,080
Speaker 5: Because of the power dynamicep.

2389
01:38:36,520 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 8: Mariah Carey just gives way more icon like Nick Cannons.

2390
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:46,679
Speaker 5: The icon of icon. But people, but people.

2391
01:38:47,080 --> 01:38:50,360
Speaker 8: People will argue that that Mariah Carey had the upper

2392
01:38:50,360 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 8: hand in the relationship. Why, I don't know, they just do.

2393
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:55,680
Speaker 8: I think it's the ambiance and the glamor of.

2394
01:38:55,880 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: He never made honey, y'all. I think y'all comparing music

2395
01:38:58,200 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 1: catalog don't say, y'all.

2396
01:38:59,400 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, guys, I'm regurgitating conversations.

2397
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,839
Speaker 1: If you're compaying music catalogs, it's not even.

2398
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:06,560
Speaker 5: Why would his music catalog?

2399
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:08,120
Speaker 1: I think that's what you'.

2400
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,599
Speaker 6: I think y'all looking at this as musician married the musician.

2401
01:39:12,600 --> 01:39:16,400
Speaker 6: You don't look at it like that entrepreneur married to exactly.

2402
01:39:16,439 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 6: I think people don't. People don't really know a lot

2403
01:39:18,880 --> 01:39:21,560
Speaker 6: of what Nick Cannon does get it sent to a

2404
01:39:21,560 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 6: phenomenal businessman, and Mariah carries his outward celebrity and big

2405
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:29,640
Speaker 6: on the outside. So I really think that y'all are

2406
01:39:29,680 --> 01:39:32,840
Speaker 6: doing y'all only say the power dynamic because Mariah Carey

2407
01:39:32,920 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 6: made fantasy and Nick made all.

2408
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:39,719
Speaker 5: Right, that is the room in the system.

2409
01:39:39,800 --> 01:39:42,360
Speaker 1: No we don't. No radio stations in the country.

2411
01:39:45,280 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 1: We can't.

2412
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:52,720
Speaker 6: That's regards to I love Nick the person dropping the

2413
01:39:52,720 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 6: clues bombs for Nick the human, Nick the artist.

2414
01:39:57,080 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 2: For I'm gonna put Jigglo in the systems. The next
