• 3:40
  Speaker 10: and Charlemagne the God Morning.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Now let's jump right into it. Donald Trump, Now they're
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: saying he's liable for fraud.
• 3:47
  Speaker 10: Oh yeah, that's what they are saying, meaning the judge.
• 3:51
  Speaker 10: Let's listen to the report by ABC and then I'll
• 3:53
  Speaker 10: come back and we'll break down the details.
• 3:56
  Speaker 7: A judge in New York hash determined former president and
• 3:58
  Speaker 7: Trump committed stem fraud, lying for years about his net
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: worth by inflating the value of his real estate portfolio.
• 4:06
  Speaker 7: The fraud was so overwhelming the judge decided there was
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: no need for him to even hear evidence or testimony
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: at a civil trial set to begin next month. The
• 4:15
  Speaker 7: judge found Trump inflated the value of his Fifth Avenue
• 4:18
  Speaker 7: apartment in Trump Tower by as much as two hundred
• 4:21
  Speaker 7: million dollars by claiming it was triple its actual size.
• 4:25
  Speaker 7: Trump said marl Lago was worth up to six hundred
• 4:28
  Speaker 7: million dollars, when the judge said the Palm Beach estate's
• 4:31
  Speaker 7: assessed value was no more than twenty seven million. The judge,
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: agreeing with New York Attorney General Letitia James, Trump overstated
• 4:39
  Speaker 7: his net worth by as much as two point two
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: billion dollars, duping banks, insurance companies, and other business partners
• 4:46
  Speaker 7: into giving Trump, his eldest sons and their family real
• 4:50
  Speaker 7: estate business better terms than deserved.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: That's the same.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know stuff like that was up to judge. Yeah,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. I didn't know you have to go
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to trial.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: I didn't know stuff like that was up to the
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: person who owns the property. I thought, you don't have
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: people come out and.
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but I mean go ahead.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 10: Apparently it looked like it might even be some conspiracy
• 5:14
  Speaker 10: going on. Because again, yeah, somebody has to do the
• 5:16
  Speaker 10: appraisal U. But he was able to get a praise
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: for more and that's the whole thing, the whole fried piece.
• 5:20
  Speaker 11: So yeah, so we forgot about this civil case. A
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: lot of folks keep talking about.
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: Remember there's still four indictments of January sixth, the Georgia election,
• 5:28
  Speaker 10: the classify documents, the hush money, and then this is
• 5:30
  Speaker 10: the civil case.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I'm very confused for two reasons. One, I didn't know
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you didn't. I thought that everybody had a fair trial
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: or a chance at a fair trial, because it just sae,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we ain't even going to trial.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I've never heard that.
• 5:42
  Speaker 11: Well, this is a civil case. So a judge, Yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 11: so this was a civil.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Case case and you don't have to go to trial.
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, the if this was so overwhelming that it wasn't
• 5:51
  Speaker 10: any point of the trial. So with the trial, so
• 5:53
  Speaker 10: what's gonna happen on Monday or next week if you will, Uh,
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: the they will decide what the fee will be. So
• 5:59
  Speaker 10: there with two hundred and fifty million dollars, so the
• 6:02
  Speaker 10: trial technically was really won't be a trial. It would
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: just be determined the penalties. In addition to that, the George.
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: The judge ordered that his business licenses basically be rescinded
• 6:11
  Speaker 10: as punishment, making it difficult or almost impossible for him
• 6:14
  Speaker 10: to do business in New York. They also want to
• 6:17
  Speaker 10: continue to monitor the Trump organizations operations, which may cause
• 6:22
  Speaker 10: him to sell some of his some of his buildings,
• 6:24
  Speaker 10: and of course his attorneys have said they will appeal.
• 6:27
  Speaker 11: So your civil is different than criminal.
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: But you know, you've seen judges even make decisions in
• 6:31
  Speaker 10: criminal cases as well, so it's not unheard of.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: You know how many people like black people, brown people,
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: live in certain areas where even if you get appraisals,
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: they still will fight you on the value of your
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: property to try and make it less of course, and
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: he can just inflate it like that.
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: That's why had that privilege.
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: That's why it's so interesting because once again, I didn't
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: know you was a property on a good duw your
• 6:50
  Speaker 6: own appraisals. I thought, you know, there was a lot
• 6:52
  Speaker 6: of checks and balances that go with that.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Well, anytime I've ever purchased a solar home, like the
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: bank orders an appraisal, it's not they don't listen to
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: what I said. I can't you know, you have appraisal
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: comes out that you don't know that Usually the bank
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: picks the bank cause.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: In orders the appraisal.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It's their people that coming in and assess the crib
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and assessed the evaluation and properties next door and what
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: recently sold and the size of your house and what's
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in it. And that's how the usually get the appraisal.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: I've never been able. They never called me like, hey,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: what's the.
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: Praise, even like you just said, even when you purchasing
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: a property, I'll send my own appraiser out there right
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: to make sure that I'm you know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Whatever they what I should.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Be paying right.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. That's this is a strange.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: One's surprised.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Strange.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it makes you wonder well Donald Trump, ever, you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: win another court case in this country ever again, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: even get.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: A fair shake. I don't. I don't know. But will
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: it matter because he's still high opposed.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: One thing the people do is stick behind that man.
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: But I do feel like the Republican Party needed to
• 7:55
  Speaker 6: move away from Donald Trump, and I feel like the Democratic.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Party need to move away from Joe Biden.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: But hey, what.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: Though, where we're gonna move to?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: The say move? I ain't talking about like physically move now.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: I'm away, I know, but I'm saying you gotta put it.
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: You gotta put a person there for us.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Republicans got quite a few.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: You'll see them tonight debating Democrat adventures weak but you know.
• 8:15
  Speaker 11: And just to bring you, excuse me, just a liver
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: bit of clarity.
• 8:19
  Speaker 10: His ruling, which comes in the phase of a case
• 8:21
  Speaker 10: known as a summary judgment, resolves the key claim in
• 8:25
  Speaker 10: this case. So this was decided to be a non
• 8:28
  Speaker 10: jury trial that starts on next week as well, you know,
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: just to determine the determine how much he could possibly
• 8:35
  Speaker 10: own penalty. So it was set up that way, all right,
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: which can happen in the civil case. All right, well,

  Speaker 1: To get involved. But yeah, they do that every year
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: in South Carolina.
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: But no, you're right, the mental health factpot is something

• 14:51
  Speaker 13: You dance the cowboys on his giants.

  Speaker 5: You know he likes y'all.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: Did last weekend? No drive asking for a friend? How
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: y'all did last week we didn't play y'all? How y'all
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: did last weekend? We didn't play these weekend?
• 15:06
  Speaker 17: Okay, okay, anyway, y'all, I'm calling about Philadelphia. If y'all
• 15:14
  Speaker 17: kids are out here in the street, y'all, need to
• 15:16
  Speaker 17: get them, because I don't understand y'all know how Philadelphia
• 15:19
  Speaker 17: cops work.
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: They will beat y'all kids.
• 15:21
  Speaker 17: They would do.
• 15:21
  Speaker 13: Anything in the world do y'all kids. So he took
• 15:25
  Speaker 13: and feeling we didn't come get them.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I didn't understand, trav Man.
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: I saw like all of those looters, you know, running
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: into the stores, and then I saw the cops pull
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: up and the cops jump on them. And then everybody
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: starts screaming at the cops to not jump on them.
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: What are the cops supposed to do in that situation?
• 15:43
  Speaker 13: And that was I don't say anything.
• 15:44
  Speaker 17: The fim Adeptian cops already stretched because it's the murders
• 15:48
  Speaker 17: and Philadelphia already dealing with us killing killing each other
• 15:52
  Speaker 17: repeatedly out here, so they already high stressed anxiety. They
• 15:56
  Speaker 17: didn't not playing no games with our kids. Get our
• 15:58
  Speaker 17: kids up the street.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: And I also thought that the Apple store. I thought
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: that the play phones were were fake, that you couldn't
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: really use you I thought you could only use them
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: in the store. I didn't think that you could put
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: anything on them and you actually use them. And and why.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Would they stay from Lulu mellan.
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: I think that they were just like doing whatever because
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: people are upset right now.
• 16:24
  Speaker 17: I don't want to get that they have a reason
• 16:26
  Speaker 17: to be upset, you.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Now, I was, I was really thinking that.
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: I'm like, what do y'all expect the cops to do
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: in this situation like this?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Like people started calling recalling the policef record the belief,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: no recall them.
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: I think the issue is that people are comparing it
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: to when like the Phillies win or the Phillies the
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: Eagles win or lose, and like they flip cars and
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: they go crazy and Philly and you literally will see
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: the cops just standing and kind of waiting until things
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: summer down to get involved. And then you got the
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: loot in and they come in, and you know that
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: that whole comparison. Of course, they grab a video up
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: like the white people downtown going crazy over the Eagles
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: and he's got these young black and brown kids running
• 17:06
  Speaker 8: these stores because they're upset and police coming in like quarterbacks.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm tired of y'all. What about it? I think
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: y'all would about it. It was a ridiculous.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Really you mad at the looters?
• 17:15
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: I would be mad at the looterers. I'm a business owner.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: If I'm a business owner, wouldn'tant nobody running up in
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: my business.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Closes like seven targets taking product exactly, people targets. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: when I have money, the one hall them they closing too,
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: because the people are just stealing.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: See, it's different if you're going to somewhere and stealing
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: versus like, for instance, I wouldn't have known about this
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: Eddie Azarry, the man that was killed by the cop,
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: if the looting didn't happen got killed. No, So that
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: we're gonna talk about it in rumors to day. But
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: the background of this is there was a young man's
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: twenty seven years old. He was killed by a cop.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Breaking down in rumors, yeah, I'll break it down.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: But basically, I feel like I understand why they're upset
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: and it's bringing attention. I feel bad for the business owners.
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: I'm a business owner too, But I mean, y'all gotta
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: buy by some rules.
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: Of the people.
• 17:55
  Speaker 8: You talked about the public people, the public servants serving
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: the people.
• 17:59
  Speaker 5: That's the issue right now.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: I'm confused. You gotta got get into I don't know
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: what's going on no more.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But and I was gonna say that the problem
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: with all these stores is shutting down, Like you know,
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: targeting Harlem is now if people want to go shopping,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: where can they go because now they can't go locally anymore.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have to travel, take buses and cat taxi,
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: gas rebuild.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: They getting too much money in that in that that
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: downtown area right now. But I think it's it's a
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: different situation. But we'll get into it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And our lots specific now I'm not talking about the ocean.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You'll know what I mean.
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Are lots specific meaning that are they saying, oh, we're
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: not targeting that store because like like I.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: Mean, they did Lulu Lemon. You you shot there.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: That don't make it right you, I'm not. I can't
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: ride with that.
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: That don't make We're gonna talk about it when we
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: come to the same people with that same managery will
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: do the same thing New York store.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about it when we come back. Rumors on
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the way it's the breakfast Club. Good morning. The breakfast
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: club said you look for thirty two. Oh my god,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: he said you look good for thirty two. Tailor my homegirls.
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: The agency is crazy.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Morning, everybody. We are to Breakfast Lauren. Let's jump. This
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: is a toxic place. I've been here.
• 19:17
  Speaker 18: From this, I think a lot of people will recognize
• 19:24
  Speaker 18: the boys to the name.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: On the breakfast club. Lauren came in hot so.
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: Last night there was a bunch of riding that took
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: place in Center City, Philadelphia. Large crowds of juveniles looted
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: multiple stores, including Lula Lemon, an apple store, a foot
• 19:45
  Speaker 8: locker in Center City uh now. An acting police Commissioner,
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: John Stanford said that the looting has nothing to do
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: with the peaceful protest that took place earlier after charges
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: were dismissed against an officer who shot and killed a
• 19:59
  Speaker 8: twenty seven year old man named Eddie Arazari. Stanford also
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: said that the police have made fifteen to twenty arrests
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: so they aren't in so far. Two firearms have been recovered,
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: but they aren't sure if they're connected to the looting.
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: There have been over one hundred juveniles and young adults
• 20:15
  Speaker 8: that were involved, but at this time police are not
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: sure how many businesses were affected. There are videos going
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: so viral online right now with all these kids people
• 20:25
  Speaker 8: running into these stores, police hopping on them. People are
• 20:27
  Speaker 8: recording the police. It's it's just a lot going on
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: in Philadelphia right now.
• 20:31
  Speaker 6: I knew nothing about the peaceful protests, and I knew
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: nothing about the cops killing that brother.
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: Was his name, Eddie Arazari.
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: I knew nothing about that. So when I saw this video,
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: I just thought it was a bunch of kids looting.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Right because we've been seeing it all some along that
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: they've been looting everywhere, you know, Louis Vuittan and Macy's and.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: Then trying to find the Louis Vitan store looters.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, Gucci. We've been seeing Chanel like they've
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: been looting a lot recently. That's what I thought it
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: was too.
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: I didn't, and I will say, if that is their
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: response to the brother getting killed, these people need guidance,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, Because if this is their
• 21:01
  Speaker 6: response to those cops getting off, then they need to
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: get with real activists who actually do this work and
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: figure out a way to protest, to bring attention to
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: the actual issue, because running up in foot locker, Apple
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: and Lululemon is not raising away and to what actually happened.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Because I didn't know any of this until you told
• 21:14
  Speaker 6: me Lauri.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that that's a really good point. I
• 21:17
  Speaker 8: didn't know any of this either, and I'm from Delaware.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: I've been back and forth between LA and Delaware over
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: these last couple months. A lot didn't know that any
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: of this was happening until the looting happened. This happened
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: on August fourteenth, that is when Officer Mark Dile and
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: his partner wanted patrol and they came across Eddie Irazari
• 21:34
  Speaker 8: and the shooting happened. Right So from August until now,
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: it's what October September October.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: This is almost October, September thirty seventh, there have.
• 21:41
  Speaker 8: Been peaceful protests happening all the way from Puerto Rico
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: to Philadelphia. So we were having a conversation in here
• 21:46
  Speaker 8: earlier about if looting is effective and why, like why
• 21:50
  Speaker 8: take this shout?
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Well, I think running up in someone's place of business
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: and looting is whack rioting because you are fed up
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: over cop killing us. I'm not mad at riots of
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: the language and unheard, but this is not a riot
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: to me. It sounds like niggas just want of iPhones
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: and tights.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like.
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: Only the only way I could, wow, the only way
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: I could say anything like looting is justified is if
• 22:14
  Speaker 6: they are stealing food or medicine. But Footlocker, Apple products
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: and Lulu Lemon Man f that like nah Yeah. And
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: when Trap said earlier, you know trave who calls all
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: the time, I would say, if you have kids out there,
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: make sure you know where your kids are and you
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: watch your kids.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: And the reason for that is, Yeah, I don't want
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: to see any other kid get hurt. I don't want
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to say the kid you know coming out of a
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: store looting and police attack them and your child dies
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: and your child gets hurt. I'm with Charlamagne when it
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: comes to this thing. I don't I don't have a
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: problem with with with protesting. I don't have a problem
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: with with doing things with we need, But the fact
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: that you guys are grabbing tights it's my phones just
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: seems little wad.
• 22:48
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: If y'all were telling me that, y'all was like I said,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: if y'all was hungry.
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: Grabbing food, grabbing food is grabbing medicine, I understand you
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: know what I mean. Inflation, the sky high things crazy,
• 22:57
  Speaker 6: y'all here, But foot Locker, Apple products and Lulu Lemon
• 23:00
  Speaker 6: may please.
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: Well, we have a report from six ABC just to
• 23:03
  Speaker 8: give some more contexts on what went down.
• 23:06
  Speaker 19: This is cellphone video police making arrests at the Lulu
• 23:08
  Speaker 19: Lemon on Walnut Street. Authorities investigating reports that a caravan
• 23:12
  Speaker 19: of vehicles moved around the city with followers jumping into
• 23:15
  Speaker 19: the lawlessness. The looting started shortly before eight pm nine
• 23:19
  Speaker 19: to one. Will calls started coming in about a large group,
• 23:21
  Speaker 19: possibly as many as one hundred, moving through center city.
• 23:25
  Speaker 19: Around eight pm, cell phone video shows a group of
• 23:27
  Speaker 19: people taking merchandise out of a Chestnut Street foot locker.
• 23:30
  Speaker 19: A number of juveniles got away, but police say at
• 23:32
  Speaker 19: least one adult was arrested. Within fifteen minutes. More looting report,
• 23:36
  Speaker 19: this time at Lululemon. You could see the piles of
• 23:38
  Speaker 19: clothing on the floor. Around eight to fifteen, the Apple
• 23:41
  Speaker 19: store on Walnut was hit. Phones and tablets taken, though
• 23:44
  Speaker 19: police say some of the goods have since been recovered.
• 23:46
  Speaker 19: As of midnight, police say at least fifteen to twenty
• 23:49
  Speaker 19: people were arrested, two weapons were recovered, and one police
• 23:52
  Speaker 19: vehicle sustained damage. Please say the looting had nothing to
• 23:55
  Speaker 19: do with the earlier peaceful protests after a judge just
• 23:57
  Speaker 19: in his charges against a police officer fatally shot Eddie Irazari.
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: Stealing types from Lulu Lemon and then going to foot
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: locker to get matches sneak because they've been waiting to
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: run up in Lulu Lemit.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's expensively, it's all that stuff.
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: If you're gonna go for, you might as well go
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: for what you've been waiting for.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: But yes, but what are you going for? Is the point?
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: So this is okay.
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: So I wanted to play that report because one of
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: the important things that I said and that we hear
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: in that report is that the police are saying that
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: they do not believe that this looting is connected to
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: the police officer Mark Dial being let go on all
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: charges for shooting him in six times following what they
• 24:33
  Speaker 8: believe was just like a police stop. Now we have
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: the actual body cam from the police officer that shot
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: the twenty seven year old gentleman Eddie Irazari, and I
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: want you guys to listen to this and then we'll
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: get into what you're going there for.
• 24:47
  Speaker 20: Coming down the street and he starts flying in the
• 24:49
  Speaker 20: bike lane. Thanks it up bles moren so I come over.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: I'm like this, he's.
• 24:53
  Speaker 15: Driving a home.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: As soon as I make the right he starts taking
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: off again.
• 24:57
  Speaker 20: He probably he came down whatever street this is here.
• 24:59
  Speaker 20: I'm trying to come over, and I said that answer
• 25:01
  Speaker 20: the twenty fifth out anything. As soon as I make
• 25:02
  Speaker 20: this laugh, that's the wrong way. I see a car here,
• 25:06
  Speaker 20: I see him park up.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: As we parked up, we got out. Dude started. Dude
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: pulled out a knife.
• 25:10
  Speaker 20: So as we as we pulled up, there starts freaking out,
• 25:13
  Speaker 20: pulls out a knife. I understand, we're not could I
• 25:16
  Speaker 20: tried to get this door but I couldn't.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: So, like I said, we as I pull up, she
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: starts freaking out.
• 25:20
  Speaker 12: We get out.
• 25:20
  Speaker 20: More comes on the driver side.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I'm over here. I try to your door, but I can't.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: He pulls out knife.
• 25:24
  Speaker 15: I talk like Mark.
• 25:25
  Speaker 20: Mark, he's got nice in life, as I guess he like.
• 25:27
  Speaker 20: I couldn't really see because I looked up in margin,
• 25:29
  Speaker 20: you know, I saw his body come.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Up like this, and then Mark fired.
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: So after this body cam this is the partner of
• 25:36
  Speaker 8: the officer who shot Eddie. To correct that, but after
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: this bodycam was released, police then did a press conference
• 25:43
  Speaker 8: and in that press conference, they said that not only
• 25:45
  Speaker 8: was there a knife found, but they said that Eddie
• 25:47
  Speaker 8: actually got out of the car and lunched at police officers.
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: Now when when that happened.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: A neighbor had a camera in addition to this body
• 25:54
  Speaker 8: cam that they gave to the family, and that was
• 25:56
  Speaker 8: released and in that video you see, yes, police walk
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: up to the car, but Eddie never gets out of
• 26:02
  Speaker 8: the car. There were knives found in the car, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: he never gets out of the car and the shoots,
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: the shots happened. You really can't see the interaction between
• 26:10
  Speaker 8: Eddie and the police officer, but you just hear the
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: shots go off right and then he's killed in the car.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: So people were upset. There was an officer that exchanged
• 26:18
  Speaker 8: what like six bullets into a man who was sitting
• 26:21
  Speaker 8: in a car, and he's completely let off on all charges.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: People are upset, and I think that people have a
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: right to be upset.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Absolute Yeah, But I.
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: Don't believe this looting had anything to do with that situation.
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: And if it did, once again, these folks need guidance
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: because that energy that they are using the run up
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: in these stores can be used for something more productive.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: That brings actual awareness to the situation because I had
• 26:42
  Speaker 6: no idea about this case or the officer getting off.
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: And I still don't know what running up in Lulu
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: Limmon got to do with anything, but.
• 26:48
  Speaker 8: You're talking about it right now though, because of the
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: running up in Lululemon.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, maybe.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: But I think if Luton wasn't so so huge nowadays,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: because they've been looting everywhere recently, and then you know,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: in Philly, in New York, like they're just doing it again.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: What I've seen it, I didn't know what, like you said,
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: it had anything to attach to it. I just seen
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: it happening again. I just heard that they did something
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: in Long Island and Long Island more. I think they
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: got Mount Clair again, like I've been seeing it so much,
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: you know, all right, But I.
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: Want these people to get with real activists who actually
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: do the work and figure out a way to protest.
• 27:21
  Speaker 8: They want the activists they want. They They're asking for
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: a lot of people to get involved, and I think
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: that this will help too. They can get some structure
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: down there, some of the people that we trust in.
• 27:28
  Speaker 8: Hopefully something happens else get hurt.
• 27:31
  Speaker 6: That's that's that's my whole, especially those young juveniles, because
• 27:33
  Speaker 6: all we see right now is niggas with new iPhones
• 27:35
  Speaker 6: and tights.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: Okay you want some little limit tights. No, it's too expensive.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: People cheap fashion would never go.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: About fashion over you know here sexy bread.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: She I do it all right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: When we come back, we got front page news with
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Testling figure Row and then Kerry Washington and be joining us.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Your

  Speaker 2: Now let's jump right into it. Biden, he joins the
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: picket line.
• 28:17
  Speaker 10: Yeah, he went yesterday, or historic to have a president
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: actually joined the picket line. He went on Tuesday and
• 28:24
  Speaker 10: alongside the United Auto Workers in Michigan. He grabbed his
• 28:28
  Speaker 10: megaphone and encouraged the workers to hold the line. Let's
• 28:31
  Speaker 10: listen to the report.
• 28:32
  Speaker 21: Wearing a union ball cap and armed with a bullhorn.
• 28:36
  Speaker 21: President in bit and told the striking United Auto Workers
• 28:39
  Speaker 21: to keep fighting for higher wages.
• 28:46
  Speaker 22: So let's keep going your what you heard and you've
• 28:49
  Speaker 22: hearn a hell of a lot boards.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: You're getting paid now.
• 28:52
  Speaker 21: With President Biden, who exchanged fist bumps with the workers,
• 28:55
  Speaker 21: the historic visit to the picket line was personal and political.
• 28:59
  Speaker 21: Under you're scoring a long career backing labor.
• 29:02
  Speaker 22: To have the President of the United States walk the
• 29:05
  Speaker 22: picket line and supportive workers, that's huge.
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yes, yeah, big deal. I'm glad you know that
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: he went out there. The White House.
• 29:11
  Speaker 10: They said that he was not going to get into
• 29:12
  Speaker 10: the negotiations, but President Biden did weigh in on it.
• 29:16
  Speaker 10: A reporter asked him if they should get a forty
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: percent pay increase. The President said, yes, they should be
• 29:22
  Speaker 10: able to bargain for that. Now we're talked about this
• 29:24
  Speaker 10: a little bit yesterday. Former President Donald Trump will be
• 29:27
  Speaker 10: there today. He has accused President Biden of only visiting
• 29:30
  Speaker 10: because he is visiting. He actually made a statement that
• 29:33
  Speaker 10: said Crooked Joe should be ashamed to show his face
• 29:36
  Speaker 10: before these hardworking Americans that he's stabbing in the back.
• 29:39
  Speaker 10: He said, well, Biden, it doesn't matter what the hourly rage,
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: hourly wage is because in three years there'll be no
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: autoworkers because of China.
• 29:49
  Speaker 6: Dam well. I mean, it's definitely political for both of them.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Like I said yesterday, majority of Americans agree with the strike,
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: so you know, them going out there and standing with
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: the workers.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: They both on the right side of history.
• 30:00
  Speaker 11: Riding with Tim Scott. He's on one or that another.
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Everybody but Tim Scott. But I don't care, man, I'm
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: still sticking to the fact that I think Republicans should
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: move away from Donald Trump and Democrats would move away
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: from Joe Biden. Those two are not the best. You're
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: not gonna tell me those two are the best of America.
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Have to off No, not at all.
• 30:16
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, but they're not offering anybody else up, so
• 30:19
  Speaker 10: what do they do. They're definitely not offering anybody else
• 30:22
  Speaker 10: up on the Democrats side.
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: I feel like we're gonna find ourselves in a position
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: next year to where neither one of them may be
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: around old age.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Literally, I don't know. I just I just I just
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: feel that way. I just feel like.
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: There's gonna be something where neither one of them are
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: gonna be in this in the mix, and I think
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: it's gonna happen in the bottom of the knife in
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: it, and everybody's gonna be scrambling to figure out what the
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: hell to do. I just feel that, Yeah, I'm just
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: nervous that Biden is gonna be like, what's the congressman
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: that that every once in a while he just zones out,
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: And I feel like Biden's gonna be that.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: In a little being in a little bit.
• 30:54
  Speaker 15: He like that.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Now they both like that. To be honest with you,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? What you meaning a little bit? Well,
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: he ain't zoned out. He just fell down a couple
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of times. You mean, like ms McConnell.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Ye, yeah, he's zoned out a couple of times. You
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: shoogar a couple of people's hands that weren't dead. But
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: he ain't zoned out yet.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Well J J J J.
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: Cool that.
• 31:18
  Speaker 10: Boy.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: Good. Now to talk about religious very spiritual?
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a quick question are you guys, let me ask
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: a quick poe. Are you religion religious or spiritual? Which
• 31:27
  Speaker 10: one envy?
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Spiritual?
• 31:30
  Speaker 6: I would, oh, one hundred percent spiritual. I've been I've
• 31:33
  Speaker 6: been figured that out about myself.
• 31:35
  Speaker 10: Okay, Well, this was a Good poll, eighty two percent
• 31:38
  Speaker 10: say that they are religious, spiritual, or both. Eighteen percent
• 31:42
  Speaker 10: of folks say that they are neither spiritual or religious
• 31:46
  Speaker 10: up to not that's of nine percent in nineteen ninety nine.
• 31:48
  Speaker 10: The percentage also says that the religion is went down
• 31:52
  Speaker 10: to fifty four percent. Now, the decline in Americans identifying
• 31:55
  Speaker 10: as religious is consistent with trends for other polls. Now,
• 32:00
  Speaker 10: what I thought I found this about this really interesting
• 32:02
  Speaker 10: is they even put this into party politics. They said
• 32:04
  Speaker 10: that among the party group, sixty one percent of Republicans
• 32:07
  Speaker 10: are most likely to identify what religion, which is where
• 32:09
  Speaker 10: you get a lot of those strict, you know, strict
• 32:11
  Speaker 10: things like abortion or marriage against sex marriage, while sixty
• 32:16
  Speaker 10: eight percent say twenty eight percent I'm sorry, say that
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: they are spiritual. More Independents say that they're religious than spiritual,
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: and Democrats say they are equally about spiritual a spiritual
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: forty one percent and religious thirty seven percent. So interesting, poet,
• 32:30
  Speaker 10: I found just kind of want to see where you guys,
• 32:32
  Speaker 10: you know, landed on that. So the bottom line is
• 32:34
  Speaker 10: the religion is going down and spirit being spiritual is
• 32:37
  Speaker 10: going up.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: What do you learn religious?
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: I would say I'm in the middle because I just
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: looked it up. At first, I said spiritual, but I
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: feel like I'm a little bit of both of them.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: I grew up very religious because my grandmother was a
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: Baptist and my mother's a Jehovah witness, and then you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: my father's study Islam. But I think as I got older,
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: I just grew more spiritual because I wasn't tied to
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: any one religious brightness.
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: I'm tired to certain religious practices for the same reasons
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: of like my upbringing. But there's certain stuff that I
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: was taught with my upbringing that now i'd be like
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: question a little bit. Yeah, I'm like, I don't know
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: if I believe that, or even if I believe that,
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: I'm not living by that.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, See, I grew up Baptist, but then I went
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to Catholic school all my life, so it was always
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: a left right and like similar to what you said,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: you start seeing things that make you question things. Say,
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna take a couple of steps
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: back and I'll have my own relationship even.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: Question in the Bible, Like you know, when they tell
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: you things like Adam was the first man he was
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: the first woman. Then they had Cain and Abel Cain
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: killed Able, but then Kane went off and found a wife.
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: How see, I like, just hear you question the Bible,
• 33:41
  Speaker 8: I'm like, oh my God, call me and give me
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: a year quiet.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: I got to ask your questions. I don't want to
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: know how if there's only four people on the planet.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: But then if you ask questions, they get upset with
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: you asking questions.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: That's right because I think people have blind faith in things,
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: and then when it comes to the Bible, that blind
• 33:56
  Speaker 8: faith like disappears.
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: It's like why not just yeah.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: And everybody make excuses like, dude, around me fourteen they
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: tell you don't touch the flash of a dead pig.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Nonetheless, eating niggas, love for chiplings.
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: That's the only park I do.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: That's the only poor amazing I do bacon.
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: But chillings is like, I don't want to hear nothing
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: about it. You can't talk me out of that. I
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: love chillings.

• 36:00
  Speaker 2: didn't know you were from the Bronx.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Really, I did not know that.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: I didn't know you were from born and born and raised.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I say? I'll say the craziest
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
• 36:12
  Speaker 23: Why what why? I agree on Florida, but why the Bronx.
• 36:19
  Speaker 23: One of the most talented people that is true to
• 36:22
  Speaker 23: come from the Bronx.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: That is very true too. Now, how did you know
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: now the time to write Thinking and Water?
• 36:26
  Speaker 23: So what I write about in the book is that
• 36:28
  Speaker 23: a handful of like five years ago, my parents sat
• 36:31
  Speaker 23: me down and shared with me some new information about
• 36:35
  Speaker 23: myself that really kind of challenged the way that I
• 36:38
  Speaker 23: thought about myself, that I thought about my family turned
• 36:41
  Speaker 23: my world upside down. And at the time, I had
• 36:43
  Speaker 23: actually sold another book, Idea, which was based kind of
• 36:46
  Speaker 23: inspired by the show that I was on, Scandal, and
• 36:48
  Speaker 23: it was like, these are the ten things that I
• 36:50
  Speaker 23: learned from Olivia Pope. But every time I sat down
• 36:53
  Speaker 23: to write that book, all I could think about was
• 36:54
  Speaker 23: this new information I'd been given and how it impacted
• 36:56
  Speaker 23: my family and my sense of self. And so I
• 36:59
  Speaker 23: wasn't going to write book at all. I tried to
• 37:00
  Speaker 23: give the publisher their money back, but they wouldn't take it.
• 37:03
  Speaker 13: Wow.
• 37:04
  Speaker 23: And then a few years later I was like, I
• 37:06
  Speaker 23: think I have to at least try to write this book.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: You said your parents didn't want you to reveal Yeah.
• 37:11
  Speaker 23: Yeah, so my my my parents told me that they
• 37:13
  Speaker 23: were sort of forced to tell me that my dad
• 37:16
  Speaker 23: is not my biological father.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: How did that affect you, because I mean, he's still
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: your dad at the end of the day. We've seen
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the picture you know him choke Instagram. Yeah yeah, so
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: how did that affect anything after you were told?
• 37:29
  Speaker 9: So?
• 37:29
  Speaker 23: I think immediately when they told me it was weird.
• 37:33
  Speaker 23: To be totally honest with you, I felt like excited.
• 37:36
  Speaker 23: I felt excited and grateful because I had always felt
• 37:41
  Speaker 23: like there was something going on in my family that
• 37:44
  Speaker 23: I couldn't put my finger on. But it was like
• 37:45
  Speaker 23: a dynamic of distance or like there was I just
• 37:49
  Speaker 23: knew that I didn't know what. I didn't know, but
• 37:51
  Speaker 23: I knew that that there was something between my parents
• 37:54
  Speaker 23: and I. And because I didn't know what it was,
• 37:56
  Speaker 23: a lot of times I blamed myself for that or
• 37:58
  Speaker 23: maybe thought I was crazy for thinking it, maybe thought
• 38:01
  Speaker 23: that maybe I'm just not open enough, like I was
• 38:03
  Speaker 23: always trying to figure it out. So when they told me,
• 38:05
  Speaker 23: it felt like, I don't know, it felt like I
• 38:08
  Speaker 23: could breathe. It felt like, oh, this is this is
• 38:10
  Speaker 23: a real opportunity for me to jump into this new
• 38:13
  Speaker 23: kind of understanding of myself and my life.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: And you know, it was it was really exciting when you.
• 38:20
  Speaker 8: Would ask questions about like just different things like hey,
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: you go to the doctors and they say, you know
• 38:26
  Speaker 8: what illnesses are on your mom? So you would ask
• 38:28
  Speaker 8: your dad your mom those questions? How would they answer it?
• 38:32
  Speaker 8: As if my dad was my father? They were going
• 38:35
  Speaker 8: to take this to their grave, And I get it.
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: I totally understand, right, Like.
• 38:41
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I think they they felt like, well, first of all,
• 38:45
  Speaker 23: let me just say this, my parents are renegades, right,
• 38:48
  Speaker 23: like a lot of us. Now we know people who
• 38:49
  Speaker 23: go to sperm don or sperm banks.
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: Right, It's like.
• 38:52
  Speaker 23: Very common relatively now, and you get a whole catalog.
• 38:56
  Speaker 23: You can pick the color of the eyes and what
• 38:58
  Speaker 23: Ivy League university they went to. But when my parents
• 39:00
  Speaker 23: did this in the mid seventies, nobody was doing this.
• 39:03
  Speaker 23: This was highly experimental, highly secretive. It was a big
• 39:06
  Speaker 23: risk they were taking. It wasn't like they had complete
• 39:09
  Speaker 23: health screenings for the donor. They had no idea who
• 39:11
  Speaker 23: the donor was. They said, we asked two things. Let
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: them be healthy. Who knows what that means at the time, right,
• 39:16
  Speaker 23: but like we want them to be healthy, and we
• 39:17
  Speaker 23: want them to be black. Because they wanted this to
• 39:19
  Speaker 23: be a secret.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you know you talk about your eating disorder
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and dealing with how you felt about your body and
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: your looks. Yeah, I wanted to know what got you
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: in that point. And the reason I ask is I
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: have four daughters. Charlemagne has four daughters, and I always
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: want to make sure I try my hardest to give
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: my daughter as many compliments as possible, right, because you
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: never want them to feel that way, but sometimes I
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: don't think that matters because it's also how.
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: They look at themselves.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so what got you to that point where you
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: didn't like what you've seen in the mirror or something
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: that you weren't happy about.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: It's such a good question.
• 39:50
  Speaker 23: I have daughters too, right, So it's something that I
• 39:52
  Speaker 23: think about a lot. I think that the food, it's
• 39:57
  Speaker 23: like any other kind of addictive behavior. It's not about
• 40:00
  Speaker 23: the drug. It's not really about the food or even
• 40:03
  Speaker 23: really about the relationship with body. Came out from a
• 40:07
  Speaker 23: compulsion of trying to escape the feelings I was having.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Or numb them.
• 40:11
  Speaker 23: And so I think for me, it was this sense
• 40:15
  Speaker 23: that I write about in the book of feeling like
• 40:17
  Speaker 23: I had to be perfect, like I had to be
• 40:21
  Speaker 23: better than who I was in order to be deserving
• 40:25
  Speaker 23: of love. And some of that came from like why
• 40:28
  Speaker 23: do I have this weird dynamic with my parents?
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Like what's going on?
• 40:31
  Speaker 23: Maybe if I was better, prettier, smarter, thinner, then I
• 40:36
  Speaker 23: might be more lovable. So I don't even you know,
• 40:39
  Speaker 23: I mean, I do think it's important to teach our
• 40:41
  Speaker 23: kids to make healthy choices when it comes to exercise,
• 40:45
  Speaker 23: to make healthy choices when it comes to food, to
• 40:47
  Speaker 23: teach them about nutrition, about how food works in the body.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: All that's important.
• 40:51
  Speaker 23: But I think helping a kid to feel unconditionally loved,
• 40:56
  Speaker 23: to feel safe, those are the things that I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 23: help us have the tool rules to live in life
• 41:01
  Speaker 23: on life's terms, as opposed to grabbing at addictive behaviors
• 41:06
  Speaker 23: to escape life.
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: Now I'm jumping all around because I want people to
• 41:09
  Speaker 6: read the book Thinking and Water. But you talked about,
• 41:11
  Speaker 6: you know, always thriving for perfection. Yeah, but you said,
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: Jamie Fox thought you a very valuable lesson.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, can you explain what that was?
• 41:19
  Speaker 23: Yeah, I think Jamie. I mean, I've been really lucky.
• 41:22
  Speaker 23: I've been lucky enough to work with Jamie twice on
• 41:24
  Speaker 23: Ray and Janego Unchained classics by the way, Yeah, truly,
• 41:30
  Speaker 23: he's He's the best. And Jamie's taught me a lot
• 41:33
  Speaker 23: about a lot of things. But one of the things
• 41:36
  Speaker 23: is in my work as an actor, to you have
• 41:39
  Speaker 23: to let go of that perfection idea. Because we were
• 41:42
  Speaker 23: doing a scene together and Ray. It was the scene
• 41:44
  Speaker 23: where I find speaking of drugs, where I find all
• 41:45
  Speaker 23: his heroin works the first time as his wife. And
• 41:50
  Speaker 23: you know, we had done it in the morning, we
• 41:52
  Speaker 23: had hit it out of the park and I was like, oh,
• 41:53
  Speaker 23: we are on fire.
• 41:54
  Speaker 5: This is incredible.
• 41:56
  Speaker 23: And then as the day went on, I kept trying
• 41:58
  Speaker 23: to do it exactly the way we had done earlier
• 42:00
  Speaker 23: that morning, so that it would be in that perfect
• 42:03
  Speaker 23: place that felt so good. And that's the beginning of
• 42:07
  Speaker 23: death as an actor, Like, you can't try to recreate magic.
• 42:11
  Speaker 23: You have to keep cultivating new magic, right, Like you
• 42:14
  Speaker 23: have to truly be in the moment. And Jamie really
• 42:17
  Speaker 23: helped me to realize that. I was frustrated in the
• 42:19
  Speaker 23: scene and he was like, you gotta keep digging. You
• 42:22
  Speaker 23: got to let go of this morning. And that was
• 42:24
  Speaker 23: a really powerful lesson.
• 42:25
  Speaker 6: Why was it easier to find that in acting as
• 42:28
  Speaker 6: opposed to real life.
• 42:29
  Speaker 23: Well, I guess I hadn't learned how to apply that
• 42:31
  Speaker 23: to the rest of my world. You know, there was
• 42:33
  Speaker 23: like it was in a vacuum, was isolated kind of moment.
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: But it's a good question.
• 42:38
  Speaker 23: I mean, that is the lesson though, right is that,
• 42:40
  Speaker 23: Like the answer is never about perfection, It's always about like,
• 42:44
  Speaker 23: what's the best possible version of my life in this
• 42:48
  Speaker 23: moment of me in this moment.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Now, you did say something I heard you say that
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: parents do the best that they can and then it's
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: up to us to parent ourselves after that, explain that.
• 42:58
  Speaker 23: Well, I think like one of the things that I've
• 43:00
  Speaker 23: truly come to terms with in writing this book is
• 43:02
  Speaker 23: that every choice my parents made was out of love.
• 43:05
  Speaker 23: They weren't trying to be cruel, they weren't trying to
• 43:07
  Speaker 23: hurt me. They really thought that this was the best choice.
• 43:10
  Speaker 23: And by the way doctors back then said it, like
• 43:13
  Speaker 23: artificial inssemination was so new. They would say, we do
• 43:15
  Speaker 23: this thing and then you go home and have sex,
• 43:17
  Speaker 23: and then you have plausible deniability. And nobody knew forty
• 43:19
  Speaker 23: years ago there would be these home tests twenty three
• 43:22
  Speaker 23: in ancestry.
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: You had no idea.
• 43:24
  Speaker 23: So they were like, go home and have sex, then
• 43:27
  Speaker 23: the kid's yours, end of story, nothing to talk about, right,
• 43:30
  Speaker 23: And so I think my parents didn't want me to
• 43:33
  Speaker 23: feel different. They didn't want me to feel weird. They
• 43:35
  Speaker 23: didn't want me ironically, they didn't want me to feel
• 43:38
  Speaker 23: distanced from them, even though that's what wound up happening.
• 43:42
  Speaker 23: So I know that they made loving choices or choices
• 43:44
  Speaker 23: out of love, even if they didn't feel loving to me.
• 43:48
  Speaker 23: But I think we have to for me and my journey.
• 43:50
  Speaker 23: It's been like it's been good to understand who they
• 43:53
  Speaker 23: were to have compassion for their choices. But I can't
• 43:56
  Speaker 23: blame them for where I am now. Like now that
• 43:59
  Speaker 23: I have awareness, I have to say, like, Okay, they
• 44:01
  Speaker 23: gave me everything they could with as much love as
• 44:04
  Speaker 23: they could. How do I now close the gap between
• 44:07
  Speaker 23: what they gave me and what I need? That's my
• 44:09
  Speaker 23: responsibility as an adult. If I just sit here and
• 44:11
  Speaker 23: continue to complain about what they didn't give me, then
• 44:13
  Speaker 23: I'm keeping myself a child.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Hi, we got more with Kerry Washington. When we come back,
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: don't move. It's to Breakfast Club.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: Good morning Morning. Everybody is the ej Envy, Charlamagne the God.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: We are to Breakfast Club.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Our special guest co host Laura la Rosa is here
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: and we're still kicking it with Carrie Washington.
• 44:29
  Speaker 5: Lauren, what's the conversation like with your kids?
• 44:32
  Speaker 8: Like once you decided to take this world to your
• 44:34
  Speaker 8: kids and even deciding to write the book, and now
• 44:36
  Speaker 8: you're you know, because your kids, I'm sure they're friends.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: And everybody knows who you are, So how do you
• 44:41
  Speaker 8: have that conversation with them? And kind of how are
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: they responding to things?
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: You know, it's funny, like I was saying before, this is.
• 44:46
  Speaker 23: So common now, like it's not news to my kids.
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: They were so unimpressed, Like, you know, they're in their classes.
• 44:54
  Speaker 23: They have kids with two dads and two moms, so
• 44:56
  Speaker 23: they have friends from sperm donors, friends from egg donors,
• 44:59
  Speaker 23: friends who are adopted, friends who were born from surrogates.
• 45:01
  Speaker 23: Like they also like, we're a blended family right there,
• 45:05
  Speaker 23: big sister. You know, when we look at the three
• 45:07
  Speaker 23: of them, their big sister has four parents, Like having
• 45:10
  Speaker 23: me having another parental figure in my story is not
• 45:14
  Speaker 23: weird to them. For my parents, they came from a
• 45:17
  Speaker 23: world where what makes a family was very different, but
• 45:20
  Speaker 23: the ideas of what makes a family now is much
• 45:22
  Speaker 23: more open. So you know, they they know obviously the
• 45:26
  Speaker 23: conversation I have with my seventeen year old is very
• 45:28
  Speaker 23: different than the conversation I have with my six year old. Right,
• 45:30
  Speaker 23: But I want to be a home where we're open
• 45:33
  Speaker 23: and honest and where they feel like they can ask anything.
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: What about when you decided to because I know in
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: this book you talk about the abortion that you had
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: at twenty. Yeah, that is something that is like in
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: your twentieth But I mean it's around Saved the Last
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: Dance time, right, so you were, you know, highly successful
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: at this time.
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: I know.
• 45:52
  Speaker 23: But it's in a chapter that I call Black famous
• 45:54
  Speaker 23: because I was like, you know how we are like
• 45:56
  Speaker 23: white people didn't necessarily know that the girl from Saved
• 45:59
  Speaker 23: the Last Dance was the same girl from Ray was
• 46:01
  Speaker 23: the same girl from Last Kame of Scotland. So we knew,
• 46:03
  Speaker 23: I you know, but so yes, I was my star
• 46:06
  Speaker 23: was on the rise.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: But it wasn't.
• 46:08
  Speaker 23: I wasn't like I could still go to the grocery
• 46:10
  Speaker 23: store and it was all good.
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: I want.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: I love yourself awareness.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: Did you realize you were Black famous when you were
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: Black famous or was that in hindsight?
• 46:18
  Speaker 23: No, in the moment, because I knew, you know, it
• 46:20
  Speaker 23: was like I knew I could walk down the street
• 46:24
  Speaker 23: on fifty seventh in Madison and be fine, but if
• 46:28
  Speaker 23: I was in the Bronx, it was like, oh my god.
• 46:32
  Speaker 23: Or like at the time I was a substitute teacher
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: in New York City public schools, that was one of
• 46:37
  Speaker 23: my many side hustles when I was.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: Trying to make a living as an actor.
• 46:40
  Speaker 23: And it was funny because I would get hired into
• 46:43
  Speaker 23: the school and the principals who were white, you know,
• 46:46
  Speaker 23: the principal's vice principals, They would be like, so nice
• 46:48
  Speaker 23: to meet you. Great, they bring me to the classroom.
• 46:50
  Speaker 23: They had no idea who I was. But then I
• 46:52
  Speaker 23: would be asked to leave a school because by the
• 46:54
  Speaker 23: second day, all the kids were cutting class to see
• 46:57
  Speaker 23: Chaneil from Save the Last Dance because they knew who
• 46:59
  Speaker 23: I was because I was substitute teaching in Harlem.
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: So it was like that dynamic.
• 47:03
  Speaker 23: I understood that certain people knew who I was and
• 47:06
  Speaker 23: other people didn't.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: What's more fulfilling being black famous or white female?
• 47:09
  Speaker 23: I think you have to have both. That was one
• 47:11
  Speaker 23: of the things that Chris Rock taught me, like, you
• 47:14
  Speaker 23: can never ever forget your core original first audience. You
• 47:20
  Speaker 23: cannot because that other audience will come and go, they'll
• 47:23
  Speaker 23: be ebbs and flows. But black people will hold you
• 47:25
  Speaker 23: up throughout. If you stay with us, we stay with you.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: I feel like that's what made Scandals such a hit.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 47:32
  Speaker 23: I mean, we were part of the birth of black
• 47:34
  Speaker 23: Twitter at the time, so I one of my best
• 47:37
  Speaker 23: friends from high school. She's a brilliant social media person,
• 47:40
  Speaker 23: Alison Peters. She actually convinced me to go on Twitter
• 47:43
  Speaker 23: and I was like, what why, I don't know, and
• 47:46
  Speaker 23: she was like, she had come out of viacom and
• 47:47
  Speaker 23: was like, it's really important, you need to do this,
• 47:49
  Speaker 23: And she and I kind of talked Shonda Rhimes into
• 47:53
  Speaker 23: talking the cast into being on Twitter. And we were
• 47:57
  Speaker 23: one of the first shows to do live tweeting and
• 47:58
  Speaker 23: to really have event television at a time where people
• 48:01
  Speaker 23: were no longer watching shows in real time unless it
• 48:04
  Speaker 23: was like a basketball game, And so that conversation around
• 48:08
  Speaker 23: the show was our grassroots movement, like we had black
• 48:13
  Speaker 23: Twitter on fire. People like Oprah eventually were like, I
• 48:16
  Speaker 23: only started watching Scandal because it's the only thing people
• 48:18
  Speaker 23: talked about on Thursday nights on Twitter.
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: So yes, in.
• 48:21
  Speaker 23: That first season, it was absolutely because black audience is
• 48:26
  Speaker 23: you know.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: How culture follows us.
• 48:28
  Speaker 23: So black audiences made it that you had to be
• 48:30
  Speaker 23: there to tune in, and suddenly it trickled out into
• 48:33
  Speaker 23: the rest of the world.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: How often do people come up to you to feed.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: All the time?
• 48:43
  Speaker 23: And to be honest, because the show was inspired by
• 48:46
  Speaker 23: a real woman, Judy Smith, who's a real DC fixer
• 48:49
  Speaker 23: who never slept with the president, but was a real fixer.
• 48:52
  Speaker 23: And I have her on speed dial, so people also
• 48:54
  Speaker 23: will come to me to get to her because they
• 48:57
  Speaker 23: know she is truly able to mixed up.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Have you needed it?
• 49:01
  Speaker 23: I haven't needed her, but I've sent other people to her. Yes,
• 49:04
  Speaker 23: but I've talked to her. I mean, like not on
• 49:07
  Speaker 23: like I'm in jail. It's two am. Helped me out,
• 49:09
  Speaker 23: but like, you know, if there's a rollout of a
• 49:11
  Speaker 23: movie and I'm like, I don't know, this directory is
• 49:14
  Speaker 23: a little bit of a problem. What do you think
• 49:15
  Speaker 23: you know I've done. I've had those kind of conversations
• 49:18
  Speaker 23: with her.
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but people, do you.
• 49:20
  Speaker 23: Know it's funny, like it'll happen in political moments, Like
• 49:24
  Speaker 23: a lot of my political work now is inspired by
• 49:27
  Speaker 23: the fact that in twenty sixteen, the morning after the election,
• 49:30
  Speaker 23: when that awful rapist, racist person was elected, that when
• 49:34
  Speaker 23: I woke up all over social media, people were like,
• 49:37
  Speaker 23: you have to save us, what.
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: Are you gonna do?
• 49:42
  Speaker 15: Please?
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: Olivia Pope?
• 49:43
  Speaker 23: And it was funny for a minute, and then I
• 49:46
  Speaker 23: was like, we have a real problem in our culture
• 49:48
  Speaker 23: because we we don't realize that Olivia Pope is an
• 49:52
  Speaker 23: imaginary character on a television show, and that every single
• 49:55
  Speaker 23: person who wrote one of those tweets they have more
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: power than Olivia Pope because she can't vote, she can't
• 50:01
  Speaker 23: register voters, she can't volunteer, she can't knock on doors.
• 50:03
  Speaker 23: But it's like we've given our power over to imaginary
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: people because we have this hero worship, right, So we're
• 50:09
  Speaker 23: not stepping into our power because we're looking for somebody
• 50:11
  Speaker 23: else to solve our problems for us.
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: So a lot of the.
• 50:14
  Speaker 23: Work that I've been doing has been trying to figure
• 50:16
  Speaker 23: out how to turn the spotlight that's on me onto
• 50:19
  Speaker 23: those grassroots organizations and people who are really doing the work.
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: When people saw you would the vice president the other day, Yeah,
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: probably she's back.
• 50:28
  Speaker 5: She's the White House.
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: I want to have a more question about your father.
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: How they finding out your father wasn't your biological father
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: change your views on parenthos oh Man.
• 50:37
  Speaker 23: Well, one thing I say in the book is, and
• 50:40
  Speaker 23: it's what I feel, is that in our community, where
• 50:44
  Speaker 23: people have historically had such difficult relationships, right where there's
• 50:48
  Speaker 23: this history of dads maybe not being present, you know,
• 50:51
  Speaker 23: in the neighborhood that I grew up in. I grew
• 50:53
  Speaker 23: up in one of the few households where the dad
• 50:56
  Speaker 23: was around, and you know, my parents were still married.
• 50:58
  Speaker 23: And the fact looking act that my dad really did
• 51:02
  Speaker 23: choose me, that he was there, he's been there for
• 51:04
  Speaker 23: me the whole time, that he's been this you know,
• 51:07
  Speaker 23: parental force in my life, that he's my dad, that
• 51:10
  Speaker 23: he chose me, that I belonged to him and he
• 51:13
  Speaker 23: belongs to me. It almost meant more than it ever
• 51:16
  Speaker 23: did before. And I feel really grateful.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: You know, now you contemplated suicide at one point. Yeah,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: well what got you there?
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: First of all? And then how did you get through it?
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: Because I'm sure there's people listening now that might be
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: in that same zone and trying to work themselves through
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: it every day. So what got you to that point
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: where you felt that way? And then how did you
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: get over that obstacle?
• 51:39
  Speaker 23: When you say there might be people listening who feel
• 51:41
  Speaker 23: that way, it's like, my heart breaks because I just
• 51:45
  Speaker 23: know how hard it is to feel that alone and
• 51:50
  Speaker 23: that hopeless. So if anybody's listening and is feeling that way.
• 51:54
  Speaker 23: The one thing I would say is to ask for help,
• 51:58
  Speaker 23: you know, is to really ask for help because you
• 52:01
  Speaker 23: are you feel alone, but I guarantee you you are
• 52:05
  Speaker 23: not alone. And for me that was the big thing
• 52:08
  Speaker 23: was I mean number one was the first time that
• 52:10
  Speaker 23: I truly got on my knees and talked to God
• 52:13
  Speaker 23: and was like I need help, Like I don't I
• 52:17
  Speaker 23: because I felt like I really don't have any tools,
• 52:20
  Speaker 23: I don't know what to do. So it was the
• 52:22
  Speaker 23: first time that I think I humbled myself enough to
• 52:25
  Speaker 23: feel like there's got to be something bigger than me
• 52:27
  Speaker 23: that points me in the direction of healing, and I
• 52:29
  Speaker 23: started reaching out. I went to therapy for the first time,
• 52:31
  Speaker 23: group therapy, one on one, Like I just really started
• 52:34
  Speaker 23: committing to trying to walk this road of healing.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: I swear by, Yeah, Hi, we got more with Kerry
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Washington when we come back, don't move. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Good morning morning, everybody. It's DJ n D Charlamagne to God.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: We are to Breakfast Club. Our special guest co host
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Laura La Rosa is here and we're still kicking it
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: with Carrie Washington.
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: Charlamagne.
• 52:54
  Speaker 6: You're talking about traveling. In the Black Famous chapter, you
• 52:56
  Speaker 6: talk about going to Africa, Yeah, to become African. How
• 53:00
  Speaker 6: did that trip change?
• 53:01
  Speaker 9: So?
• 53:01
  Speaker 23: I was filming Last King of Scotland. That was my
• 53:04
  Speaker 23: first time on the continent and it was great because
• 53:06
  Speaker 23: I do feel like sometimes as black people in America,
• 53:08
  Speaker 23: we go to Africa with all these like do I
• 53:10
  Speaker 23: belong here? Do I feel at home?
• 53:12
  Speaker 21: Like?
• 53:12
  Speaker 23: What is my relationship here? And I just had to
• 53:14
  Speaker 23: put all of that aside because my focus was on
• 53:18
  Speaker 23: just kind of dropping in and becoming a Ugandan woman.
• 53:21
  Speaker 23: And I really did feel at home there.
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 53:24
  Speaker 23: I felt so lucky to be able to be so
• 53:27
  Speaker 23: immersed in the culture that I wasn't there like, you know,
• 53:29
  Speaker 23: as a tourist, and I took it when I was there.
• 53:32
  Speaker 23: I don't know if you've heard about this experience. It's
• 53:35
  Speaker 23: not in the book, but we were hiking in the
• 53:38
  Speaker 23: ruin Zori Mountains, which are the mountains that border Rwanda
• 53:41
  Speaker 23: and Uganda, and it's where the only wild gorillas live.
• 53:46
  Speaker 23: And you can go out with a gorilla trekker and
• 53:48
  Speaker 23: find the gorillas in the jungle and spend time with them.
• 53:52
  Speaker 23: You go with like a tour guide and these truckers
• 53:54
  Speaker 23: and these guys with AK forty seven's just in case.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: The craziest people from the Bronx.
• 54:03
  Speaker 23: If people travel from all over the world to have
• 54:05
  Speaker 23: this experience because it is one of the most intense
• 54:09
  Speaker 23: spiritual experiences I've ever had. The second one is my
• 54:12
  Speaker 23: experience with the whales that I write about at the
• 54:13
  Speaker 23: end of the book. But it was like to be
• 54:16
  Speaker 23: in the jungle, to be with these creatures, and you
• 54:18
  Speaker 23: realize we really do share like ninety seven ninety eight
• 54:21
  Speaker 23: percent of our DNA with these animals, and they are
• 54:24
  Speaker 23: You start to think like, oh, they're so human, but no,
• 54:27
  Speaker 23: like we are so gorilla. And the craziest thing that
• 54:29
  Speaker 23: happened was when they give you this orientation in the morning,
• 54:32
  Speaker 23: They're like, if a gorilla gets close to you and
• 54:33
  Speaker 23: is looking at you, the most important thing to do
• 54:35
  Speaker 23: is not run. You have to to feel safe act
• 54:39
  Speaker 23: like a gorilla. So I was like, wait, I didn't
• 54:47
  Speaker 23: hear it through that lens because for me, I was
• 54:49
  Speaker 23: like a young actor who had done animal exercises at school,
• 54:53
  Speaker 23: like this was my opportunity for this was my Meryl
• 54:55
  Speaker 23: Street mode. So when the gorilla case from the tree,
• 54:58
  Speaker 23: I was like a squad. I mean, everybody in my
• 55:00
  Speaker 23: group was like, what is she? When I tell you
• 55:03
  Speaker 23: that is the best performance of my life. I was
• 55:06
  Speaker 23: I was the gorilla, The gorilla was me. I started,
• 55:09
  Speaker 23: I picked off a leaf, started chewing on it, and
• 55:12
  Speaker 23: we had the most incredible experience because this gorilla gorilla
• 55:14
  Speaker 23: kept getting closer and closer to us, and this little
• 55:17
  Speaker 23: baby gorilla she was so curious. She was like, what,
• 55:20
  Speaker 23: We've never seen a human like this. She was like,
• 55:25
  Speaker 23: this one's one of us, but close. They just they
• 55:29
  Speaker 23: got closer. The trekker said than they'd ever had a
• 55:32
  Speaker 23: gorilla get to a group before. I mean the guy
• 55:34
  Speaker 23: with the AK forty seven came right next to me
• 55:35
  Speaker 23: because they were terrified.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: But I was like, don't stop, don't stop. Yeah, it
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: was incredible.
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, how you do tell you that just because.
• 55:45
  Speaker 23: The experience that we got out of it. I mean
• 55:48
  Speaker 23: they said it to everybody in the group, but I
• 55:49
  Speaker 23: was the best actor in the Wow. Yeah, when all
• 55:53
  Speaker 23: of this is done, like everybody gets the book, they
• 55:55
  Speaker 23: get to read it. Everybody should get the book. They
• 55:58
  Speaker 23: read the audio book. It's and my own words. So
• 56:01
  Speaker 23: that's fun.
• 56:02
  Speaker 8: What is the like the hug or the message that
• 56:05
  Speaker 8: you want people to get from this book.
• 56:08
  Speaker 23: I think, and this is something that I've written in
• 56:10
  Speaker 23: the book, but there's a saying I heard a long
• 56:12
  Speaker 23: time ago that I really love that we are as
• 56:15
  Speaker 23: sick as our secrets, and that when I think, when
• 56:19
  Speaker 23: we can let go of the things that keep our
• 56:24
  Speaker 23: true selves hidden, we can let go of our shame.
• 56:27
  Speaker 4: You know, I knew when my parents told me.
• 56:30
  Speaker 23: I realized that they had been living under this lie
• 56:33
  Speaker 23: for so long that every time I had said I
• 56:36
  Speaker 23: love you to my dad, whether it was conscious or unconscious,
• 56:39
  Speaker 23: there must have been a part of him that thought,
• 56:41
  Speaker 23: she loves me because she thinks I am her father.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 56:45
  Speaker 23: And there must have been a part of him that thought,
• 56:47
  Speaker 23: if she knew I wasn't her father, maybe she won't
• 56:50
  Speaker 23: love me. That's part of why they didn't tell me.
• 56:53
  Speaker 23: And so I had the opportunity, once they gave me
• 56:56
  Speaker 23: that truth, to actually, for the first time, love my
• 57:00
  Speaker 23: father unconditionally. And that's what we all deserve, that's what
• 57:04
  Speaker 23: we all want. We want we want to know that
• 57:07
  Speaker 23: no matter what we do, or how we act, or
• 57:09
  Speaker 23: what we've done in the past, that we're lovable and
• 57:12
  Speaker 23: that we're loved, and I feel like my family's in
• 57:15
  Speaker 23: that place now. But you only get there when you
• 57:17
  Speaker 23: expose your truth, when you're vulnerable enough to show people
• 57:20
  Speaker 23: who you are and they love you anyway, then you
• 57:23
  Speaker 23: know that you are worthy of unconditional love.
• 57:26
  Speaker 6: But I think your father proves that you know, just
• 57:29
  Speaker 6: because somebody provides BERM doesn't make them He's an actual Yeah.
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: That's right, that's right.
• 57:35
  Speaker 23: And it's even like people will say like, well, do
• 57:38
  Speaker 23: you know who your biological father is? And I'm still
• 57:40
  Speaker 23: wrapping my head honestly around that language.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Like do you want to know who the donor is?
• 57:44
  Speaker 5: I was literally about to say I do.
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: I'm searching.
• 57:46
  Speaker 23: I'm looking, and again not because I need a daddy,
• 57:49
  Speaker 23: right Like, I'm not looking for an emotional connection. I'm
• 57:53
  Speaker 23: really open. I mean I say that now, who knows
• 57:55
  Speaker 23: when it was? You never know, Like you could walk
• 57:57
  Speaker 23: in the room and I gonna be like, but I
• 58:00
  Speaker 23: think I'm just really curious about that fifty percent of me,
• 58:03
  Speaker 23: that genetic fifty percent of me. I think there is
• 58:06
  Speaker 23: a question. I know what I've gotten from my dad.
• 58:09
  Speaker 23: I know from my dad I've gotten my sense of humor,
• 58:12
  Speaker 23: my imagination, my belief in the impossible, my ability to
• 58:16
  Speaker 23: tell a story. I know what I've gotten from my mom,
• 58:20
  Speaker 23: my intellect, my intellectual curiosity, my grace, my compassion. I
• 58:26
  Speaker 23: don't know what I've gotten from the donor. I'm curious
• 58:28
  Speaker 23: what part comes from him. And I'm curious just in
• 58:31
  Speaker 23: terms of my medical history. I feel like I owe
• 58:32
  Speaker 23: that to my kids, that they should know where they
• 58:35
  Speaker 23: come from. But the emotional part of it, I'm open
• 58:37
  Speaker 23: to let it be what it's going to be. Maybe
• 58:40
  Speaker 23: it'll feel like I have additional family. Maybe it'll just
• 58:43
  Speaker 23: feel like I have additional information. I feel good either way.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Can we with something you said in the epilogue?
• 58:49
  Speaker 6: And I feel like it can relate to so many
• 58:50
  Speaker 6: people you save My life is not about my donor,
• 58:53
  Speaker 6: nor about my parents. My life is my own. What
• 58:55
  Speaker 6: does that mean to you? And what could that mean
• 58:57
  Speaker 6: the others?
• 58:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah?
• 58:59
  Speaker 23: So when my parents told me this information, I realized
• 59:04
  Speaker 23: because they had built this narrative, this false narrative, about
• 59:08
  Speaker 23: where I came from, I realized that in many ways
• 59:11
  Speaker 23: I had been the supporting character in their story right
• 59:16
  Speaker 23: like they were living this life. They were Earl and Valerie,
• 59:19
  Speaker 23: parents of this beautiful child, successful middle class black family,
• 59:23
  Speaker 23: like I was the supporting character in that fable, and
• 59:28
  Speaker 23: when they gave me the truth, I felt like part
• 59:32
  Speaker 23: of why I wanted to write the book was that
• 59:33
  Speaker 23: it was time for me to step into being the
• 59:36
  Speaker 23: lead character in the story of my life, to not
• 59:39
  Speaker 23: let my life belong to them, to say, like, I
• 59:42
  Speaker 23: deserve to be on this journey, this quest because I
• 59:45
  Speaker 23: have my own story. Like, I get it, you had
• 59:47
  Speaker 23: four decades of living this your way, but it's my
• 59:50
  Speaker 23: turn to kind of take this narrative and figure out
• 59:52
  Speaker 23: what my life means for me. So I love my parents.
• 59:56
  Speaker 23: I do love being a supporting character in their life,
• 59:59
  Speaker 23: but that has to be a ch I have to
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 23: know that fundamentally, my life is my own and that
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 23: they because I have the most incredible parents, they now
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 23: have the opportunity and have allowed themselves to be supporting
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 23: characters in my story. And a lot of what I've
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 23: learned about parenting has been about that choice on their part,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 23: because they have allowed themselves to be supporting characters for
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 23: me in this moment, which is humbling for all of us,
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 23: with them in particular, right and as I look forward
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 23: at my kids. I realize this is my moment. Like
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 23: this book. I am the protagonist of this book, but
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 23: I'm also the supporting character in the story of my kids,
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 23: and I want them to know that I have their
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 23: back and that they have to live their own life.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 23: They shouldn't be living in the ways that make me comfortable.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 23: They shouldn't be making choices that are for my own good.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 23: They have to make the right choices for them in
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 23: the way that I'm making the right choices for me.
• 1:00:51

• 1:02:37
  Speaker 24: We've got to stop expecting our blessings to lander our door, Chloe.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 24: But when we try to force it, we could block
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 24: other blessings and then you end up giving them the

• 1:02:53
  Speaker 1: That's great, No, Charlamagne, how does that make you feel?
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: What are you talking about? That's your cousin. She's a girl,
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: a woman.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 18: Crushes.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: She can make her own decisions.

  Speaker 8: you put something out that like that in the air,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 8: like shoot if he's available, because I don't know if

• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe she just couldn't keep it the white.
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 5: Women, because Lori Harvey isn't a white woman.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: I know she's not. She's not.

  Speaker 5: That doesn't matter.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: That doesn't matter. I like seeing Michael B. Jordan with
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: black women.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 5: I would like that too. Yeah, why are you saying
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: it to me like I'm the judget that jail.

• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: black women? Are you sure you by?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: That's what the B stand for, Michael, black women joyed,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 6: and that's what we wanted to stand for, not Michael
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: Becky Jordan.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 5: My god, Well, shout out to them.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 8: I hope that they figured it out in the DMS
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 8: if he is available now moving on, moving on, so,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 8: j Cole shared something yesterday. He shared a letter from
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 8: Colin Kaepernick. Now, this letter was a letter that Colin
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 8: Kaepernick wrote to the Jets back on September twenty first,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 8: and j Cole said in the caption that he had
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 8: to actually acts Colin Kaepernick if he was able to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 8: share the letter. Colin was a little bit reluctant, but
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 8: Jay Cole said he wanted to share this letter because
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 8: he wanted people to see how much Colin still wants
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 8: to play football.
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 5: And how ready he is now.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 8: The letter, which is addressed to Joe Douglas, the general
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 8: manager of the Jets, it basically just outlines the fact
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 8: that Jay Cole and his team know that they are
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 8: that the Jets are the big loss since Aaron was injured,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 8: and although they have Zach Wilson and now they have
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 8: another person that they brought it on Tuesday. He feels
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 8: like he wants to lead their practice team because this
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 8: will give the Jets a reason to be watching him
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 8: see how prepared he is. It can also help the
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 8: team and then basically if they need a kind of
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 8: contingency plan, he's there and he's already ready. So this
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 8: letter was sent on the twenty first. There are reports
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 8: though that the Jets have recently brought in a new
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 8: player as a Tuesday, a quarterback named Trevor's.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Saman Sam trevor smen practice squad.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah to the practice squad.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 8: So I don't know if that means that it's over
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 8: for Colin and that potential.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: I love Colin Kaepernick and I love everything he did
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: for the sport. I love everything he did for standing
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 2: up for people. But the problem I have now is
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: it seems like he's begging to get back into the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: league I like, and I don't like to see that.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: It's like you've done a lot, the league is boxed
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: you out, and it's to the point now I don't
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: want to see him asking to.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: Get back by that league.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 6: I wish that they didn't share that letter. I wish
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 6: that letter was never written. That letter was tragically sad
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: and downright pathetic. Colin Kaepernick has let his set back
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 6: become his identity, and I hate that for him. God
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 6: exalted Colin Kaepernick into a position of leadership in regard
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 6: to activism, and it pains me to see that man
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 6: still begging to be in a league that he called
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 6: racist and compared to a plantation, and I hate that he.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: Can never speak for himself.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 6: He always got somebody else speaking for him or putting
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 6: out his messaging for him.
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: That so whacked me.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 6: I wish Colin the best and all his endeavors, but
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 6: just begging, you know, these same people you called racist
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 6: for an opportunity is pitle.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: I'd rather go to what's the other league that they created,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: the XFL league or any other league. But it's the
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: fact that they boxed him out. They don't want him
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: in the league.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 8: Like that's clear, very clear, And I had to I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 8: asked earlier in the room, like how good of a
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 8: football player was he? Because the way that they just
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 8: threw him out after all that, you would think that
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 8: he wasn't good.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: But it's a good player.
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 6: This don't even seven years and God has God exalted
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 6: Colin happening into a position of leadership.
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: Now understandably, he's been playing football probably since he was
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 2: three years old, so that's all he knows, and that's
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: what he wants because you.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 6: Know something else, now, God got him in another position.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 6: But when you're looking back and it looks it's easy.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 2: For you to say, but when you're competitive, and you've
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: been playing since you've been three, and all you wanted
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: was that ring, and you haven't got that ring. That's
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: probably what will make him stop, is getting that ring.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 6: It's pitiful to call an organization racist compared to the
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 6: plantation and then still be begging to go back on
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 6: that planting.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: America racist and you live here.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 6: That's a stupid I hate when people say that, because
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 6: I mean, I've never known anything else and anything be
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 6: playing for you three.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 5: And you have the resources and the means to move
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 5: to another country. You're very successful.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: Lauren.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 6: What you said makes zero sense, but I'm gonna let
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 6: I'm gonna let the YouTube comments and social media tell
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 6: you how what you said.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 8: Listen the way that they've been getting me all week.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 8: That's totally following me. But I just I just hated.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 8: Just make sure you'll, I mean, when y'all do it
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 8: so people can follow me out eating All right.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 6: Well that is your rumor report who given at down
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 6: two four after the hour Man, we need to explain
• 1:09:01

• 1:09:04

• 1:09:23
  Speaker 6: not making these people do these days.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 5: Called donkey of the day, and it really caught me
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: off guard.

• 1:09:33
  Speaker 6: donkey today for Wednesday, September twenty seventh goes to a
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 6: Houston woman.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: Named Alania Ford.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: Now, this case happened, Okay, this case I'm about to
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 6: tell you all about happened in March of twenty twenty one.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: But this a valance footage has just been released.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 6: Okay, see what it happened was Alania Ford used to
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 6: work at Jack in the Box and she shot at
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: a customer in the drive through all because they got
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 6: into an argument because Jack in the Box forgot this
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 6: family's order of curly fries. I can't make this kind
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: of stuff up. Let's go to Fox twenty six News
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 6: for the report.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: Please.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 23: A Jack in the Box employee opened fire on drive
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 23: through customers.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 25: A family had their dog their six year old daughter
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 25: in the car with them when they got into a
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 25: dispute with an employee over a missing curly fries from
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 25: an order at that Jack in the box. As Rainmos
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 25: pulls up to that drive through window, he's then greeted
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 25: by Ala Nia Ford, and once his food was handed over,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 25: an order of curly fries were missing from the bag.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 25: When he asked for them, he was told no. That's
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 25: when the argument started. You can see Ramos in his
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 25: red pickup truck going back and forth with Ford. She
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 25: walks away, comes back, and the argument continues. Another employee
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 25: approaches the window to try and resolve the situation, but
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 25: in the midst of that, Ford comes back and starts
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 25: arguing with Ramos yet again. She starts throwing ketchup pack
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 25: is into his truck window, so he started throwing things back,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 25: but then Ford comes back yet again, points her gun
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 25: directly at Ramos and starts.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 5: Shooting as he speeds away.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 25: Luckily, none of those bullets struck Ramos's vehicle and no
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 25: one was injured. Ford was charged and convicted of deadly conduct,
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 25: and recent documents show her probation ended in June of
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 25: twenty twenty three.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 6: This is why you can't fight fries with fire Jesus,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 6: especially in Texas. All right, Look, man, I understand folks
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 6: are going through things. Folks are stressed out emotionally and mentally.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 6: People are at capacity. And this is really why we
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 6: have to be kind to everyone we encountered, because you
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 6: never know what folks are going through. Not making excuses
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 6: for this woman at all, because she made a choice, right,
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 6: going to get your firearm because y'all having a dispute
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 6: over some damn curly fries is a choice, all right.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 6: Choosing to fire set firearm at an individual, not just
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 6: an individual, a whole family over curly fries is a choice.
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 6: This man was in the car with his pregnant wife
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 6: and his six year old. I also would like to
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 6: say fast food workers of America, it's never that serious.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 6: I literally was listening to Bishop tdj's sermon from this
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 6: past Sunday called then interescapeable rolla service. There is no
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 6: greater purpose on this planet for any of us other
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 6: than to be of service. You, as a fast food worker,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 6: are providing a service. We are grateful for the service
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 6: you provide. It's a bunch of people right now trying
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 6: to get to work, trying to get to school, and
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 6: they are depending on you right now in that drive
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 6: through to be prompt and precise so they can get
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 6: what they ordered in a timely manner to make it
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 6: where they need to be. So drop on the clues
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: bonds for all the fast food workers out there being
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 6: service this morning, okay, and doing their job. But this
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 6: is also why we appreciate Chick fil A workers, because
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 6: the one thing all of us remember about Chick fil
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 6: A workers is the.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: Way they make us feel. Okay, they make us feel
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: so good. All right.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 6: My wife and I got Crystal franchises. We got Crystal
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 6: franchises opening. That's all I want our employees to be
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 6: is kind. I want folks to leave the establishment feeling
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 6: good because the interaction is pleasant. If something is missing
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 6: from the order, you check the receipt, see that they
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 6: did indeed pay for it, and give it to them.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 6: This why don't why I don't understand, Alanie Afford. What
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 6: would it have hurt you to give this family their
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 6: order of curly fries? How much is in order? Let
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 6: them a little funky ass curly fries a dollar?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 6: At the end of the night, it's probably a bunch
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 6: of curly fries left over that y'all just throw out.
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 6: There's probably several orders of curly fries dropped on the floor.
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 6: Jack in the Box right now, the president of the
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 6: Fat Lives Matter Committee who works here at the Breakfast Club.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 6: You'll get to see him in twenty twenty four. We
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 6: need him to lose some weight before he makes his debut.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 6: But he wants me to remind y'all fast food workers
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 6: that you don't get employee of the month for saving
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 6: the company money on any products.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 6: It don't matter if it's fountain drinks, sauces, apple pies, napkins, scraws,
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 6: French fries. You don't get a bonus for saving these items.
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 6: Your boss does not walk up to you and say.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: We love the words.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 6: You don't give people anything extracted, okay, and now you
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 6: have been promoted. This never happens, and I promise you
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 6: Jack in the Box employees, Jack is not dying for you,
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: all right. There's no reason to take your job that
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 6: serious that you get in a dispute over some damn
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 6: curly fries. And the damn sure is not serious enough
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 6: for you to pull a pistol out and get things popping,
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 6: like the grease those fries came out of.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: Unafford.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 6: Un Forward was convicted of aggravated the soul with a
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: deadly weapon. Documents revealed that her probation concluded in June
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: of twenty twenty three. Aliana, you really tried your hardest
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 6: to go from jack in the box to being in
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 6: the box eating box.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know how.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 6: You just got probation for this. Whoa, You are actually
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 6: about the wrong life. Instead of being about thug life,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: you should be about that fast food life, because when
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 6: you choose this fast food life, you have to be
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 6: about this fast food life. You have to know that
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: when items is missing, folks are going to complain, especially
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 6: with fries, because I'm not sharing my fries. I got
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 6: a pregnant wife and a six year old in the car.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 6: They want fries, you know, damn well. Women and kids
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 6: look at our fries as their fries, especially when they
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 6: don't have no fries, so you get them their own fries. Aliana,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 6: it is your job as a fast food worker to serve.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: Because as a customer, I did my job and served you.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 6: I spent my money with the establishment you work at,
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 6: which ultimately helps you to.
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: Pay your bills.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: Look, we all make mistakes, and you know that saying
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 6: don't be afraid to make mistakes because that's how you learn.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 6: And bro, well, this don't apply to this, all right,
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 6: Shooting at someone over some curly fries is a mistake
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 6: you should be afraid to make. And this is why
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 6: I never underestimate the power of human stupidity, because only
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity. And
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 6: I'm not even sure about the former. Okay, please give
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: Ali on the Ford the sweet sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dog gee of the day,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: the dogee all the day.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 8: Ye Now, I want curly fries. Never mind, never mind,
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 8: never mind.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: Never shouldn't the guy that didn't get the curly fries
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: be mad?
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: And how you mad and shoot at meat? And you
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: didn't give me the crim exactly?
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 5: Like why can we talk about the sauces again? Because
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 5: they be holding on to them sauces tight.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: I have no idea why. And you said curly fries
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 1: like ninety nine they be like three dollars.
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: Now, curly fries at Jack in the box and Donald

  Speaker 9: I like that.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: You got Frid at home and she's been working there

  Speaker 1: thirteen years. Still, I just want to put that out there. Damn.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, well peace, p E T. Will
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: see you tomorrow, see you later.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: What we're doing the Colin Kaepernick covey? Yeah, okay, all right, well.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: Let's open up the phone lines eight hundred and five
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: eight five one oh five on if you' just joining us.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Laura la Rosso reported about Colin Kaepernick sending me Jets
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: a letter, right, and what did the letter say?
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 8: The letter said that he wanted to lead their practice
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 8: squad because of everything that happened with Aaron Rodgers.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 5: So for two reasons.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 8: Number one, he wants to help them get ready for
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 8: the opponents are going to come up against, including like
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 8: a jailing Hurts. And number two, it will show the
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 8: team that he is ready to play. And in case
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 8: anything happens with the people that they may be going
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 8: with to replace Aaron, he's right there.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 5: He's ready. He's the best contenter.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: Ray.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 6: That letter was tragically sad and downright pathetic, and like
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 6: I just said, Colin Kaepernick has let his set back
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 6: come his identity and I hate that for him.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: Well let's talk about it. Eight hundred five eight five
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: one oh five on what are your thoughts. Do you
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: feel like Charlemagne at the letter sat and he shouldn't
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: be thinking about getting back in the league, or do
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: you feel like he's been doing it since he was
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 2: three years old and he still has goals, he still
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 2: has things on this.
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 6: Point, At what point do you realize God exalted you
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 6: into a better position. God exalted you to a greater purpose.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 6: Because that's what I feel like he did with Colin Kaepernick.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 6: He exalted him into a position of leadership in regarded
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 6: the activism. Well, let's talk about it when we come back,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 6: because you know, although also you know, I wouldn't be
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 6: mad if Colin Kaepernick went to an HBCU and began
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 6: and started coaching.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be mad at that. That's fantastic.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 5: Is that not on the table? Like why?
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know?
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: That's so on brain, I don't know.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I would love. Nothing, We'll talk
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: about those programs.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: That's what I would love because he would bring eyes
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 2: to those programs like a high with a Hampton a
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: fam you or nothing would be.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 6: On the table because you can block your blessings when
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 6: you're when you're unwilling to let certain things go.
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: But let's discuss. We'll talk when we come back. Eight
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: hundred five eight five one oh five one. It's the
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Come morning, the Breakfast Club.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 6: It's topic time called eight hundred five five five one
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 6: to join it to the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Morning everybody.
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 2: It's DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 2: Laura LaRosa, our special guest host is here. And if
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: you're just joining us, we're talking about Colin Kaepernick. Now
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: you reported the story Lauren in rumors? What what was
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 2: the letter that he wrote to the Jets.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 8: Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jets asking to
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 8: lead their practice team for two reasons. He says that
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 8: he thinks that he can get the team ready for
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 8: all the competition are going to be coming up against
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 8: in a way that won't like Threaten Zach or whoever
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 8: will be playing in Aaron Rodgers spot. But also he
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 8: wants the team to see that he is ready to play.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 8: He is the best contingency plan if anyone gets injured
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 8: or just can't do the job.
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: So we're asking eight hundred and five A five one
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: oh five one, what are your thoughts?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: Charlomanne, I'm gonna say exactly what I said a little
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: while ago.
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: It's tragically sad and downright pathetic that Colin Kaepernick wrote
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 6: that letter because he has led his set back become
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 6: his identity.
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I said it a million times.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 6: God exalted Colin Kaepernick into a position of leadership in
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 6: regards to activism, and it pains me to see that
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 6: man begging to be in a league that he called
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 6: a racist and compared to a plantation.
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: And I hate that he can never speak for himself.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: He always got somebody else speaking for him or putting
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: out messaging for him.
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: That's so whacked to me.
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: And I wish Colin the best and all his endeavors,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 6: but just begging the same people he called racist for
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 6: an opportunity is absolutely pitiful to me.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Lauren.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 8: I thought that at first, if he got back in,
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 8: he was going to be able to do like the
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 8: whole I can change within. But y'all saying it's not
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 8: giving up. I don't understand why he would want to
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 8: be there, like I would never go back to something
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 8: I left that wasn't good for me.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 2: I do see both sides, right, And the reason I
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: see both sides is because I do feel like he's
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: begging to get back in the league, and I don't
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 2: like that. I don't like the fact that the league
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 2: has boxed you out.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 5: The letter is even very yes, sir.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 1: Yes, like so many reasons league.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they give you so many reasons why they don't
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: want you in the league, and you still are begging
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 2: to get back in the league.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I don't like that.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 2: But on the flip side, trying to sit in Colin
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 2: Kaepernick's shoes as a young boy at three years old,
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 2: that's been doing football and football ain't easy, right as
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 2: a as a dad that my kids play football. It's
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 2: five days a week, rain, snow or whatever, one game
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: on Sunday and then back on practice again. It's very
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: It's a lot, and these are years. He's probably been
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 2: doing this for twenty thirty years, his whole life, so
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: it's his whole life. So to him, he's probably never
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 2: closed that chapter. And that chapter might be a ring,
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 2: it might be playoffs, it might be one of those
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: things that he's never got that and.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: Let's not let's be let's be serious. Let's be honest.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: The Jets are trash. The Jets need somebody. So it's
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: not like it's a it's a far fetched I think.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 8: To me listening to y'all talk about the quarterbacks that
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 8: they have right now in that position and how bad
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 8: they are. And the fact that he wrote this letter
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 8: and it basically went ignored and they brought in somebody else,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: that hurt my heart even more because I feel like
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 8: the way that I look at Colin Kaepernick for what
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: he did, it's just like, man, forget them people like
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 8: we got you wherever you go, right. Athletes religiously cannot
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 8: give it up sometimes.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 1: Until they forced to.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 6: So when God exalts you into a position that's greater
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 6: than football, you know you got to leave who you
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 6: are and love who you are and look forward to
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 6: who you will become.
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 6: Like, I think that the purpose that he serves now
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 6: and has served over the last few years is way
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 6: greater than football, and it's kind of a slap in
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 6: the face to God to not embrace that and not
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 6: accept that and continue to beg these same people you
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 6: called racist and said the league was a plantation.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: You're begging to be back and change college.
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 6: This is I'm using your words, right, But you said
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 6: that this is a plantation, So you beg it. Please
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 6: chave me up masters, I'll even you can put me
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 6: on the practice squad.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even want to be on the team. Chame
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 1: me up with the practice squad. Ain't like that.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 2: But it's also and I'm not comparing them to a druggy,
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 2: but it's almost like a druggie, right, And when I
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: mean a druggie, you can't tell a druggie when it's
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 2: time to give it up. They have to tell themselves.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 2: They have to say, you know what, I'm giving up drugs.
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: And for him, he has to give up that chase.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: And he hasn't given up that chase.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 6: There's also why I don't want to hear anybody comparing
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 6: him to Muhammad Ali.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: He will do that because when Mhammad.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 2: Ali, what people do that?
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 6: Because when because when Muhammad Ali, you know, got his
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 6: boxing licensed script, you know, he ate that because he
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 6: understood that what he was standing for was bigger than boxing.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 6: But he got to fight again. You know he got
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 6: after a few years, but he but he But in
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 6: those few years, he never made it about him. He
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 6: always kept it about the movement. He always kept it
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 6: about the message that he was standing for always. And
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 6: when you make stands that are bigger than you, you
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 6: know that there's going to be consequences and repercussions and
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 6: that comes with it, and you have to be willing
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 6: to deal with that when you make these kind of stands.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: But let's go to the phone line. Hello, who's this can?
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: What's up?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 12: Man?
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: What's your thought? What's your take?
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 12: But saying man, football is it is hard. So I'm
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 12: a man of guard, So I understand the heart. Whatever's
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 12: in your heart? What was for you? So the man
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 12: wrote a letter, It's like you messed up with one
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 12: of your friends or your mom or your dad. You
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 12: need to seek people you want to put a letter
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 12: to write it take it back in the league.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 6: For black men, black man a black man. He didn't
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 6: mess up with the NFL. The NFL did him dirty.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 6: He didn't mess up, So why should he be writing
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 6: a letter begging to get back with the person who
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 6: broke his heart, that did him dirty?
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: Hello, who's not using no common sense here this.
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 26: Money, Yes, just unique unique.
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: Good morning.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: What's your thoughts?
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 27: Good morning, good morning. Yes, you know what, it's terrible
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 27: that Colin Kaepernick even has the beg for his die back.
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 27: Why because he's a great football player and I think
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 27: it's no reason for him not to be able to
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 27: do both things, advocate for black rights and rights with
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 27: black people and the treatment you know that we're going through,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 27: and him being a football player because that's what he does.
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 17: So yeah, the only thing.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 8: Is if you're doing both, there's gonna be so much repercussions.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 8: Like there's no way you can go into a job
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 8: and say, y'all racist, y'all do this, y'all do that
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 8: and expect them the employee of the month. You like,
• 1:24:11
  Speaker 8: there's a separate there has to be a separation of two.
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 6: I would think once you say that about your your
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 6: your your employee, you done with them.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 8: I would think once you think that unless you need
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 8: money or something like that. But he doesn't need that.
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out what the Keith Yo, what's hey?
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: Man?
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 13: This is Keith from Florida. Man, isn't isn't Colin breaking?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 13: Like one of the four they eight laws of power.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 26: You never beg your enemy for mercy.
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 17: Why would you do something like that?
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 13: You already caught them races? Why would you go back
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 13: to try to apply in the league that said numerous
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 13: times that they don't want to.
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 12: I called my one of.
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 13: My employees race.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 3: I will never go back to that job again.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: That's right. I mean, it's the truth.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 6: Once you set fire to the plantation, the plantation is
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 6: burned down, you think Jangles that fight, I'm gonna use
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 6: a real character.
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: You think Nat Turner, you know, was rescuing all.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 6: Those people and killed all those slave masters in their
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 6: family only to bring people back to the plantation.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 5: You lost it.
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Once you do that, you're you're trying to escape.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 5: You ask of us? Are Kanya eight.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 2: Five eight five five one? We're talking Colin Kaepernick. Colin
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 2: Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jet said he wanted
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 2: to be on their practice the practice squad.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: What's your thoughts? Let's discuss. It's the breakfast Club.
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 15: Go morning.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: It's topic times.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 6: Called eight hundred and five eight five one five one
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 6: to join into the discussion.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: With the Breakfast Club. Talk about it more thing, everybody.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 1: It's DJ Envy Charlamagne the guy.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club. We got our special guest,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 2: co host Laura Larossa. Yes, sir, and if you're just
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 2: joining us, we're talking about Colin Kaepernick.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 1: Now. What happened with Colin Kaepernick and a letter he
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 1: sent to the Jets.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 8: So, Colin Kaepernick wrote a letter to the Jets asking
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 8: to lead their practice squad, to help them get ready
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 8: for the opposition and to basically show them whenever they
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 8: need a quarterback, he's ready.
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 5: He's going to be the go to. And yes, I said,
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 5: the practice squad.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like him begging for the spot.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: I do understand that he's been doing this probably since
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: a young kid, and he's been doing it all his
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: life and this is what he wants. He he hasn't
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: closed that chapter in his life. But I just feel
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 2: like at this point, you beg it and I would
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 2: prefer you use everything that you know, your skills, the practices,
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: and I would rather go to an HBC you and
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: teach those student be so fun. I mean, and there's
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 2: a bunch of them that need the help, that need
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 2: the eyes on them, and I think that will get
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of students to go to HBCUs because the
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 2: eyes will be in at school.
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be the most powerful thing to do.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 6: But the reason, the reason that that Colin probably can't
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 6: see things like that is because he's let his identity.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's let his set back become his identity.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 6: And we all know, in order to stop blocking blessings,
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 6: you have to let things go.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 1: You can't hold on to things of the past. You
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying.
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 6: You gotta let go of the past, but keep the
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 6: lessons it taught you. You know what I mean, But
• 1:26:58
  Speaker 6: you got to you gotta let it go.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 5: Identity, What do you mean?
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 6: Because he's let his set back become his identity because
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 6: God exalted him into a position of leadership and activism.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 6: If Colin would have really just focused on that and
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 6: kept that going and said, really, if the NFL, I
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 6: didn't call them racist, I didn't call it a plantation,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 6: I don't want to be over there no more. I'm
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 6: gonna be over here helping my people, we'd be looking
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 6: at him like that. But now we're looking at him
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 6: as this pitiful person who keeps begging the NFL, begging
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 6: his plantation to be back in change.
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 1: Let's go to that I don't like it. You got
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: mad people on the line.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 13: I know who's this, Mayor Rich timas Maultvernon.
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: Hey, mayor Rich from Mount Vernon.
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 13: You the mayor of the actual mayor.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I had the sledge of engaging Kaepernick crew and
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 22: bassonors pass when he was going through the movement. And
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 22: the reality is, you know, look, perhaps your own should
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 22: ask a bigger question.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 13: How come the league won't let him play?
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 12: It's not like you can't throw the ball. It's not
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 12: like he didn't playing the Super Bowl.
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 13: You know he's been blacklist and that we know if
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: we know this.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 22: But the bottom line is, just like any other team
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 22: that needs to quarter back should consider Cap. I say,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 22: bring back Cap, give him a shot to throw the
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 22: ball again, even though he you know, let him move
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 22: and it's time him to get back on the field
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 22: and face the ball.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 6: Can ask agal questions behind, can ask a bigger question,
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 6: why do we want this for Cap? If if Cap
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 6: said that point, if Cap said is racist, If Cap
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 6: said he's been blacklisted, if Cap said it's the plantation,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 6: why would we want to send our brother back on
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 6: the plantation?
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 13: Well, he said he wants to play. Maybe there have
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 13: been changes.
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 22: Look, Jay Z has had success in negotiating some I
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 22: want to call a form of reparations for the league,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 22: right for the players, for the entertainers, the.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 13: Music scene in the pastor Super Bowls.
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 22: So I think it's kind for Cap to get back
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 22: to play.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 12: Why not let him get on the field and play ball?
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 1: Thank you man.
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 2: I will say this though, and this is not right,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 2: and I know people are gonna be mad at the
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: way that this is said.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 1: But if you create a stink in the.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: League right where people feel a certain way about you,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 2: this is a business.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 1: And if I own one of those teams, would you
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 1: want to hire.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 2: Kaepernick on your team not knowing what he's going to do,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: not knowing what he's going to bring to your team
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 2: when you just want to bring wins?
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's see, that's a decision that
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 1: if you're an owner.
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of those owners which are not black,
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 2: are white owners. We have one black owner, which is magic.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 8: They don't even want to hear from the wives of
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 8: the players, So you think that they want to get
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 8: put Colin Kaepernick on their team to then be able
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 8: to have conversations and like all of that right, No
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 8: to answer your question, but this is all stuff that
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 8: we know, so I don't like unless he's able to
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 8: come in and really like from the inside, infiltrate, I
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 8: don't see what it does for his life is not
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 8: just about him in football anymore. Like he is so
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 8: much more now to us what I thought he is.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 8: He he's going to realize it.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 1: Jazzy, good morning, good morning.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 26: I'm sitting outside of Ale before I go in.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, but us.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 26: But anyways, I agree with Charlie Man mainly because of
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 26: the fact that like you're begging to be somewhere and
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 26: where they don't want you, Like it's.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 9: Kind of embarrassing.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 26: Yes, in a sense, it's like instead of you know,
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 26: I understand that he's football is his life, whatever, But
• 1:30:07
  Speaker 26: create your own money, create your own table, Do what
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 26: junior league do, training camp. Do something that they'll see
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 26: you for you. They'll see you by yourself instead of
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 26: surround you with that NFL trauma, that NFL bull crap.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 26: Like yeah, Roger Goodell like gave him an apology, but
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 26: wasn't really an apology because he still ain't hired. So
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 26: why are you still trying to get.
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 1: In there, and it's sad. It's sad.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 6: It's sad that we want to we were begging him
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 6: to go with It's like we're pushing him to go back.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 6: It's like, no, no, you you left the plantation. You
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 6: told us about the atrocities that are happening on the plantation.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 2: The plantation or was he fired from the plantation? It
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 2: was fired, right because he didn't love. He was fired,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: he was let go.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 1: And then he called him out the rousis and obviously
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 1: that that was true because they apologize. They cut him
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: a check. We don't know how much the check was for.
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 2: And he wants to play, and I get it, but
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 2: it's to the point where.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 1: It's like when do you let it go?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, like I said, he's been doing this
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 2: since probably the age of three. This is all he knows.
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 2: And that book, that chapter in this book is not
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 2: done for himself.
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 6: Man, when God exalts you to a position of leadership
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 6: the way he did Colin Kaepernick, you have to go lead.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 8: Playing devil's advocate though, right if he was to be
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 8: able to get back on the team, and he can't
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 8: really do or say too much just him playing, is
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 8: that a symbol of aha in your faces, Like does
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 8: that mean anything?
• 1:31:24
  Speaker 6: No, it's a symbol of oh we racist, We the plantation.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 6: But you begged us to come, get put back and change.
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 6: Now you back in change working for us again. And
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 6: how was that going to change the league in any way,
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 6: shape or form? Like, how was that going to change
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 6: the system of the NFL? And Lauren, you said to
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 6: me what you asked me earlier, You said, what'd you
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 6: say about America?
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 5: Oh? I said, you still stay here even though there's
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 5: a lot Yeah.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 6: The difference I think is America is a system that
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 6: we were all going into.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 1: And it's a system that promises us certain things.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 6: It promises it's citizens certain things, free them, liberty and
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 6: justice for all. What we've historically seen that this system
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 6: only provided justice for some, and we have fought against
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 6: this system since the beginning of time.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: We aren't begging to be a part of this system.
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 6: We are a part of this system, and as it
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 6: currently is, we don't like it, and we're demanding for
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 6: things to change.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: Colin not doing that.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 6: He called them racists, compared them to a plantation, and
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 6: now he's just begging to be a part of that system.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 6: Did you hear anything in that letter that sound like
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 6: he's trying to change the system. It sounds like he's
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 6: trying to conform. He wants to play football. He trying,
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 6: he's ready to conform. Like, No, I don't like it, bro,
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 6: I don't like it. I think it's pathetic.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 2: And then it gets back to and I know it's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 2: costly to doing the things like ice Cubi's doing and
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 2: creating our.
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 1: Own spaces in our own league.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, of course, we can't create another NFL because
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 2: that will cost billions of billions and billions and billions
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 2: of dollars. But we've seen the success that ice Cubis
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 2: had with Big Three and it's gave given a lot
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 2: of players another opportunity, and hopefully one day we can
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: create that for ourselves.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: And also, man, there's one more point. Yes, Colin took.
• 1:33:01
  Speaker 6: A knee for police brutality. We salute him, we celebrate him.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 6: He took a knee, you know, to raise awareness to
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 6: the brutality that black and browns came on were facing
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 6: it the hands of the police. As soon as he
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 6: got backlash, as soon as he got blacklisted, somehow that
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 6: movement turned into justice for Colin what happened to the
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 6: bigger issue, which is taking the knee for police brutality.
• 1:33:29
  Speaker 1: That's what this was about.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: This wasn't about, you know, oh, Colin's getting blacklisted from
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 6: the NFL. We should have expected Colin to get blacklisted
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 6: from the NFL. When you make a stand like that
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 6: and then you called the NFL racist and called the
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 6: NFL a plantation.
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: We should expect that. And he got to be able
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 1: to eat that.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 6: And once again, that's why I don't like when people
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 6: compare to Muhammad Ali.
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali ate it.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 6: He got his boxing lin and script away from him,
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 6: and he understood that he was standing for something bigger
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: than his boxing career.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: And I get it. I didn't expect him to get
• 1:34:00
  Speaker 1: fired out the league.
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 2: And the reason I didn't get I didn't expect that
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 2: is because he wasn't the only one. There was numerous
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 2: players neely and he was the only one that pretty
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 2: much was.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 1: There was a couple like that that got that X,
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 1: but there was a lot of players doing it.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 6: The first Soldjio over the hill always takes the most bullets, right,
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 6: all right, Well, we got rooms on the way, but
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 6: we're talking about yes, we're.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 8: Talking about Nick Cannon and him saying that Mariah Carey
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 8: saved his life when he first got diagnosed with lucas.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 2: All right, we'll get to that next. It's the breakfast
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 2: slogan woman the Breakfast Club.
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 15: All right, let's get right to it. Rumor.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 18: I think a lot of people will recognize the boys
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 18: to the name on.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club.
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: Lauren came in Hot.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 5: Now Nick Cannon is talking about Mariah Carey.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 8: He sat down with a podcast called The Diary of
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 8: a ce oh, and he recalled the time where he
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 8: found out that he had lupus, and once he said
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 8: that he credits to Mariah Carey for finding out or
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 8: helping him to find out, but also once he found
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 8: out what was happening.
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 5: She basically saved this life. Let's listen to the audio.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: She was my rock man.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 16: Was She went hard, to be honest, Probably wouldn't be
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 16: alive if it wasn't for how hard she went, you know,
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 16: with the doctors, with me, my stubbornness. You know, she
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 16: was the perfect helpmate, the perfect matriarch, the perfect mom,
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 16: the perfect wife in those scenarios, because granted, she's who
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 16: she is and dealing with all the pressures of being
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 16: Mariah Carey but then being loving enough to.
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 1: Take on all of my stuff.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 16: And it probably took a toll on us just because
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 16: of the person I was in my head and the
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 16: struggles that I was dealing with. So I probably took
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 16: a toll on our relationship, but it definitely brought.
• 1:35:56
  Speaker 1: Us closer to the other.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 8: And he said that they were an aspen one time
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 8: and he had like went out for a jog and
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 8: he came home and he passed out, and she came
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 8: home and found him passed out and forced him to
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 8: go to the er. And that's how he found out
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 8: that he had lupus, and once they realized that his
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 8: immune system was attacking his kidney.
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 6: So that's what a good woman does for our dumb asses.
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 8: I'm so glad you know y'all dumb because you knowing
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 8: a lot of stuff in.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 1: Here, all right, all right? In relationship we are dumb. Yeah, absolutely,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 1: But I.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 5: Will say easy on the dumb, but not easy on me. Yesterday,
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 5: we're gonna talk.
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 2: About this, but I will say this, what what I
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 2: You know, people, if you look at what they say
• 1:36:35

• 1:36:54
  Speaker 8: Do y'all think that if Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey

  Speaker 8: people feel like Mariah Carey is like that missing piece
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 8: to his puzzle.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Mariah's missing peace, but it does
• 1:37:23

• 1:37:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't. I think it brings a good point up.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 6: I don't know if Mariah Carreys was missing from uh
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 6: Nick's life, but maybe something is missing, Maybe there is
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 6: something that he needed to heal.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 8: I'm not for sure, but I'm just saying, like you know,
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 8: those things have been said, but I will say that
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 8: it's good to hear him always because he does talk
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 8: about our lot and I always used to feel like why,
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 8: but hearing this story like yeah, like she literally saved
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 8: his life.
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: I'm positive it's good for the kids to hear that.
• 1:38:01
  Speaker 6: The kids are like, yeah, I thought you want to
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 6: hear pops talking about the This is so wild.
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 2: Think about it like this, right if if somebody is
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: beefing with their baby mom and they talk bad about him.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 1: Like, what are you talk bad about your baby mom? White?
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 2: He talks positive about his ex, talks positive about his
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 2: baby mom is his ex wife and the mother of
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 2: his kids, and people.
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 1: What are you always talking about? What are you like?
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 1: What are you supposed to do?
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 8: I think it's because it's Mariah Carey. You people feel
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 8: like he was the like he was more involved in
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 8: the relationship, like because of the power dynamic, say with
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 8: your chest.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 5: Because of the power dynamicep.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 8: Mariah Carey just gives way more icon like Nick Cannons.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 5: The icon of icon. But people, but people.
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 8: People will argue that that Mariah Carey had the upper
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 8: hand in the relationship. Why, I don't know, they just do.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 8: I think it's the ambiance and the glamor of.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 1: He never made honey, y'all. I think y'all comparing music
• 1:38:58
  Speaker 1: catalog don't say, y'all.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you, guys, I'm regurgitating conversations.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 1: If you're compaying music catalogs, it's not even.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 5: Why would his music catalog?
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: I think that's what you'.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 6: I think y'all looking at this as musician married the musician.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 6: You don't look at it like that entrepreneur married to exactly.
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 6: I think people don't. People don't really know a lot
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 6: of what Nick Cannon does get it sent to a
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 6: phenomenal businessman, and Mariah carries his outward celebrity and big
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 6: on the outside. So I really think that y'all are
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 6: doing y'all only say the power dynamic because Mariah Carey
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 6: made fantasy and Nick made all.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 5: Right, that is the room in the system.
• 1:39:39

• 1:39:52
