  Speaker 1: no more.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: not making these people do these days.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Called donkey of the day and it really caught me
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: off guard.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out of the day today?
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Well, just hilarious donkey today For Monday, November tenth goes
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: to Roland S Martin. Y'all know Roland Martin, left wing
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: political commentator, founder of the black Star Network. He hosts
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: his show Roland Martin Unfiltered on YouTube. Oh and let's
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: not forget he is a Democrat dancing machine. Oh, Roland
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: will cut it up for the Democrats.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: You hear me?
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, he loves dancing for Democrats so much that he
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: won't even go to the right when the Tucci role
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: is playing. Okay, it's all to the left to the
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: left for Roland and that's fine, Okay, respect to him
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: and his political allegiance with Democrats. So it wasn't a
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: surprise to me that Roland had an opinion on my
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: opinion of this current government shutdown because I feel like Democrats,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: even though they put up a great fight. It was
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: a valiant effort in regard to healthcare, it was a
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: fight they couldn't win. Right now, Okay, keyword, right now?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: So open the government back up because people are out
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: here suffering.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Roland didn't like that. Okay. He posted this video with
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the headline beyond idiotic.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Roland tears down Charlemagne's shut down misinformation. That's the word
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that got my attention. Misinformation. What did I say that
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: was misinformation? Well, let's listen to Roland Martin.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Do me a favorite.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Do not listen to people like Charlemagne the God. Okay,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: So Charlemagne was talking about this government shut down and
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: he made a comment as relate to what Democrats should
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: be doing.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Y'all have that? Dude, I don't understand mem and I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: don't know.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe you can explain it to me that the healthcare
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: is going to go up anyway because of the big
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: beautiful bill, because that didn't include the extension of the
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: tax credits to keep the cost down. So if it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: going up anyway, what's the point of Democrats taking the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: stand to keep the government still close.
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: At this point?
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: You're right, because the premiums which the open enrollment started,
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: what last this weekend November first, and so people are
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: getting those letters in the mail. In fact, one person
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: in Utah, a woman in Utah, she told ABC News
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: that she opened her bill and saw that her monthly
• 2:13
  Speaker 6: premium had already jumped from about four hundred dollars a
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: month Charlemagne to over two thousand dollars a month. And
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: so at this point, it's like, what's going to happen?
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: Is it retroactive? Like how is this going to work
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: as you continue to go forward?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So you're absolutely right, and the premiums are set for
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a year.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So at this point, if the premiums have already gone up,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: if they set for a year, at least give the
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: people some relief and get the government bag open.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Do not listen to what the hell he just said?
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: That to me is beyond idiotic because this battle that
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: we're seeing is not solely about healthcare. Rebecca, Rebecca, I
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: don't know what the hell that was was?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Just that was just Roland. What makes what I said? Bs?
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I said the healthcare is going to go up anyway
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: because of the big beautiful bill, because that didn't include
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the extension of the tax credits to keep the cost down.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: That's fact based, okay.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Mimi pointed out that some people were already receiving higher
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: premium since the beginning of the open enrollment period, people
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: have been receiving notices of higher premium, So where was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the misinformation?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Roland.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You may not agree that dim should concede and vote
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: for the government to be reopened, but don't say it's misinformation.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe I gave too shortened explanation. Maybe I'll oversimplified it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Maybe I should be clearer for the audience, and I
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: will right now. When the big Beautiful Bill, or as
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Reverend Barbara calls it, the Big Deadly Bill, or as
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Jasmin Crockett calls it, the big ugly Bill, when that
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: bipartisan spending package Republicans forced through. When that was passed,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Democrats failed to extend the ACA premiums of subsidies that
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: were originally expanded under the American Rescue Plan and Inflation
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Reduction at Okay, Without those tax credits, ACARE Obamacare premiums
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: increased automatically, and they're already locked in for twenty twenty
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: five since insurance file and finalized their rates.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Months. A Hey, So if healthcare premiums have.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Already gone up and I'll fix for the year, then
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: keeping the government closed the fight for lower premiums makes
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: no sense to me, especially when on top of high
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: healthcare prices. So many people are suffering right now because
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: of the government shut down. And that's what I care about,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: the people. Okay, that's why I said what I said,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: because of the people who are being hurt by this.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Federal workers who haven't been paid in forty days, they
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: passed due on rent right now, can't pay for childcare
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Hell, they can't pay for the health insurance.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: They do have because they don't have any money coming in,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: not to mention people not getting a snap benefits. So
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: how is what I said? Some bs? How was that misinformation?
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Once again? Rolland if you would have said, I disagree
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: with Charlamagne, Democrats should fight and not vot to reopen
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the government until some concessions are made on healthcare, cool,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I would understand that it's fair what to say it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: is some bs and label it as misinformation, that's just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: a lie.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And you did that on purpose, that was intentional to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: discredit me in the breakfast club. But we'll get back
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: He even had a sister by the name of Rebecca
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Caruters come in and double down on the line that
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: we spread information and accused me of all types of treasure.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Let's listen.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: Look what I heard was an exchange of two people
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: who don't understand how this works. So what they're talking
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: about are the health insurance premiums that are in the marketplace.
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: The marketplaces are the state exchanges. The state exchanges is
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: because of Obamacare, aka the Affordable Care Act. Here's the thing.
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: Those premiums are effective January one, twenty twenty six. You
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: get about sixty days notice in most states. Some states
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: put out their new expected premiums back in October, some
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: kind of at the end of September. But this is
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: giving notice of hey, if you continue at the level
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: of health insurance plan that you have, this is what
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: you're going to start to pay effective January one. And
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: so they're erroneous. I mean, this isn't just misinformation here.
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: This starts to like, this is intentional disinformation, And for
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: the audience, disinformation is where you have bad, misleading information
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: that's intentionally targeted to a certain demographic. The demographic here
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: is black voters. The reason why eyes the black voters
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: are the base of the Democratic Party right now, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: Democrats are in are in locksteps saying that noe, We're
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: not going to give you the votes that you need
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: in order to end this government shut down. You Republicans
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: need to come to us and work out a deal.
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: And so by trying to talk to black folks to them,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: black folks can then talk to Democratic members of the
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: House and Democratic members of the Senate to get Democrats
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: to back down. That's what CHARLOA. Maine is trying to
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: do here. So this is disinformation that we're seeing that
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Charloamaine is doing. This is not just mistaken information. This
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: is intentional going after black voters.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Rebecca, I don't even know what you are trying to imply. Okay,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you repeated what myself and Mimi just said. You just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: didn't know what SIMPLI fight like I did. But I
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: still don't understand how that leads into you saying I'm
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: intentionally giving out misinformation to black voters.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: What is the misinformation.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'm also not trying to discourage anyone from voting in midterms,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: even though I know we are going to have to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: fight to have free and fair elections in the midterms.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: But that's a whole other conversation. But you, Rebecca, sound
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: like you are trying to make me out the controlled opposition.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Let the record show I don't get paid by any
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: political party. I've never taken money from a political candidate
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: for anything. Can Roland Martin say the same again?
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: What did I say? That was misinformation? Okay?
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: Everything I said is actual and factual in regards to
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: what's in the Big Beautiful Bill. If you disagree with
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: me saying Democrats should vote to reopen the government once again,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: that is fair. If you believe me. Saying I think
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Democrats have lost is wrong. I understand that too, But
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that's my opinion, not misinformation. You want to know why
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I think Democrats have already lost, I'll tell you my position. One,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: because the Trump administration practices authoritarian strategy, and they don't
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: give a damn about working class people, and they damn
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: show don't care about the poor. Number two, Republicans are
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: scared the death of that administration, and they have zero
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: reason to make any concessions. They already have everything they
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: want in the Big Deadly Bill. Okay, massive tax cut,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: state ACA subsidy extensions didn't make it in deep cuts
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: to Medicaid and social programs already in there.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: They have zero reason to play ball.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Roland knows this, but he would rather sell you a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: false hope instead of telling you the truth. Roland knows
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: most of these Republicans have made careers running against Obamacare.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: They can't go back now, even if it kills them
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in the midterms. And a lot of people I've spoken
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: to in government Democrats, by the way, feel like that's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: why pinning a shut down strategy around this issue was
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: foolish to begin with, okay, And a lot of them
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: told me they knew they weren't gonna get anything out
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of this except maybe the promise of a vote on
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: the Senate floor that will ultimately fail. That's why I
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: said last week Democrats loss. Okay, As you can see,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: that seems to be the case because they reached a
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: tentative agreement yesterday that does not include an extension of
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the ACA subsidies.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And you know who will be one of the.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: First people out here fake draggon Democrats for YouTube views
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: because of that. Roland Martin, even though he knew that
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: was going to be the obvious political outcome from the beginning. Now, listen,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: if DIM's were able to get these authoritarian strategy ass
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: practice and Republicans to make some concessions on healthcare, I
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: would be the first person on this radio saying I
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: was wrong and applauding them. But I never saw it happening,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: and that's why I said I think they lost. I'm
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: sorry that y'all believe in MAGO more than I do. Okay,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but I applaud Democrats, okay, dropping the clues bump for
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Democrats for doing something they don't normally do, and that's fighting.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: They threw a hell Mary on behalf of the American
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: people because they know the American people are about to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: get their asses kicked when it comes to these high
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: ass health insurance premiums courtesy.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Of the Republicans.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I would have loved for Democrats to get Republicans to
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: fold and make some real concessions in regards to healthcare.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But I just don't believe in maga's ability to do
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the right.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Thing, especially when they have zero reason too, because they
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: already got everything they want. Now, remember when Mehdi Hassan
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: was here last week and he said, why do Democrats
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: always have to be the adults in the room.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Let's listen, but you.
• 9:42
  Speaker 7: Kind of have a political system that always relies on
• 9:45
  Speaker 7: only the Democratic Party being the responsible polity you just
• 9:47
  Speaker 7: call America cannot survive we've created. It's like having toddlers, right,
• 9:51
  Speaker 7: they'll probably go out to your a bunch of toddlers,
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: and everyone else has to be the adults in the room,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: and that cannot continue indefinitely.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Mehdi is right, Uh, but the reason Dems have to
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: be the adults in the room is because they are
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: okay in regards to these current magga Republicans, Democrats absolutely
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: are the adults, and we have to count on Democrats to.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Do the right thing because Republicans won't.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Republicans will let this whole society collapse right under the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: working class and poor people's feet because they don't care.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Mehdi is right when he talks about how things are
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: supposed to be, but that's not how things are. So, yes,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: Democrats have to be the adults in the room because
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Republicans will have you choosing between starving are being sick,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and some folks in.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: This country have no choice but to do both.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: Now, back to rolling, when people talk about the shutdown now,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the first thing they bring up is the airlines. By
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the way, I told y'all on Thursday, this shut down
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: wouldn't last much longer because of the airlines. It's always
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: going to be corporate interests over the interests of the
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: people in this country. But they talk about the airlines,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: They talk about the staff benefits, but those federal workers, sadly,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: to me get lost in this conversation booth, all the
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: federal workers out there, Okay, they're getting mentioned last now.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: And I don't like that federal workers aren't getting paid.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Do we know what this means in a country where
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: majority of people are living paycheck the paycheck. Rowland said
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: something when him and his panel were accusing us of misinformation.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: It was before he threw the doctor themb Carter. I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: think her name is let's listen, Leombi.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: The reason I think it is bad advice is because
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: when you are in political battles, you maximize your leverage,
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and when you're fighting on behalf of people, they understand
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: that there are people who are not getting benefits. They
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: know they're faireral workers who are not getting their paychecks
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: as well, but they also are dealing with an administration
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: that's been slashing and burning and firing people in discriminately
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: as well. So all this is wrapped up. So what
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: you do not do is you do not capitulate, You
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: do not back down, you don't go on well you
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: know what, Hey, we'll just go ahead and pack it in. No,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you try to get as much as you can.
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: Well. Absolutely, and this is why Wendy Williams sidekick should
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: not be trusted with political information. I've long had to
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: be for Charlotte Maade, so let's just stop there.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know why people think calling me Windy willimside
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: kick because of disk. Thank god I got that opportunity
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: twenty years ago. That's one of the reasons I'm here now.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: But please tell the good doctor Carter that I don't
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: shine shoes anymore.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: And how she got beat for me.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I never met you, don't know you, but God bless
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: you sincerely. But in that exchange, Roland said, they understand
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: that there are people not getting their benefits. They understand
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: they are federal workers not getting their paychecks. You know
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: why Roland Martin can say that's so nonchalantly because he's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: not potentially facing eviction because he hasn't paid his.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Rent for the month.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need any money this month to pay for
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: his childcare and Snap benefits food. Does Roland Martin La
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: boohoo built ass look like he's missing any meals?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I'm with Senda the Catherine Cortes Masto of Nevada.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, she's a Democrat. She said before the shutdown happened.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: We need a bipartisan solution to address this impending healthcare crisis.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: But we should not be swapping the pain of one
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: group of Americans for another. That's my mindset, and maybe
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: your mindset would be different if you actually spoke to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: some of these federal workers facing eviction, or if you
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: spoke to some of these people who rely on food
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: benefits also dims, you was gonna do a shutdown? Why
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: not have something in place for the federal workers who
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: are gonna need money?
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Are the folks who are losing Snap benefits? Hell?
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: What's that guy's name? Timothy Mellon? He donated one hundred
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and thirty million to help pay the US military personnel.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Where the Democratic donors who are willing to do that
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: for federal workers are people with.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: No Snap benefits?
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Are you lobbyists who'll be given to these Democratic campaigns.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Now is your time to shine for the people. Baby,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: all the pharmaceutical lobbyists, pro Israel lobbyists, or the lobbyists
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: that represent real estate interests. If you want Democrats to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: keep making this stay in regards to healthcare, dig deep
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: into your pockets and find some relief for the constituents
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: of these people being impacted by the government shutdown. Once again,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: we can have an ideological discussion about the government shut down.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: We can agree to disagree on that. But to say
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: that I put out misinformation, that's just a fat row
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Ton Martin lie. Now like that, I just got a
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: little bit more, just a little bit more with you.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: There is a reason row Ton Martin wants to paint
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club me in particular, as a person spreading misinformation. See,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna pull the curtain back a little bit, not
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: too much, because it really don't matter. I just want
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: some of you to know people's motivation. Roland Martin is
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: a hater, Okay, he be hating on me behind the scenes.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: To anybody who will listen, he will say something negative
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: about me. And it's always in regards to how I'm
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: moving in this media space, in particular, anything in the
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: political realm, it's always.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: A why does he get this? Why does he get
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that type of thing? Why is he? Okay? What dudes?
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Why do politicians go sit with the Breakfast Club Roland?
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Okay, fay vane fare, but he will
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: do all that hating, but love texting my phone asking
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: him to come on to Breakfast Club.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Correct, just be super correct. Okay.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: One day, a few years ago, I'm sitting at home,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Roland texts me and says, Hey, tonight, on my show,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: we are going to talk about Tyler Perry and BT.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: At the time, it was rumors of Tyler buying BT,
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: and the headline of the video he posted was Roland's
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: blistering deconstruction of Paramount's idiotic failed attempt to sell BT.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So I'm watching this video because he asked me to,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: and about forty minutes in, one of the brothers on
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: the panel starts bigging up Roland's Blackstar.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Network, as he should, and then you just do a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: random shot at me, which your role intend to let
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: people do.
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: Let's listen, the Blackstar Network is doing something that is
• 15:16
  Speaker 8: you know, and the teaching profession. We call it God's work.
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: It's thankless work. People may not necessarily understand it. But
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: as you said, when there's something that folks need some
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: reliable information on, you see the numbers explode. They come here.
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: And Lauren, when you said you look at you watch
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: YouTube a lot, I mean I try to stay out
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: of digital world because I try to continue to be analog,
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: as you can see. But I can't fight the future.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: So I have I look into a lot too for
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: that very same reason. And I'm saying this to say that,
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: you know, we saw what having the Bamady Jones at
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: HBO or ESPN high quality analysis he couldn't stand. And
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: then you see them throw something out Comedy Central, brother
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: Lenard or Charlemagne whatever, because that ain't high quality analysis.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: My brother, I don't know your name, but you can
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: big up the Blackstar Network without throwing shots at what
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: I was doing on Comedy Cential at the time.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: You can love on Rolling and big up what he
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: does without slandering me.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: But whatever, if that's what you got to do to
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: remain in rotation on Roland's YouTube page, God bless you too. Now,
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: in that same episode, Roland had this to say about me.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Mind you, He texted my phone and told me to
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tune in listen.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: You know what.
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: I have not said this publicly, but I'm gonna go
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: ahead and say this, and I would love for the
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: current leadership of BEET to prove me wrong. When we
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: were in Atlanta covering Melany Campbell's grassroots organizing event in Atlanta,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: this was what may. I ran into a sister and
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: she said, I'm so glad to meet you. She said,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: I know so much about you, and I was like, really,
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: she says, yes. She says after the death of George Floyd,
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: she said, the leaders of BET came to me and
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: said it's time for us to do a news show.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: And she said, I ran the research, and she said,
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: we did exhaustive research. We studied day parts, we studied shows,
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: we studied other networks. We looked at radio, we looked
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: at the newspaper, we looked at podcasting. She said, we
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: studied demographics eighteen, twenty four, twenty four, thirty five, thirty five,
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: forty four, forty four, fifty four, fifty five plus. And
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: she said, after we ran all the metrics, she said,
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: the research came back and the number one person, they
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: said Black America said they wanted to see host a
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: news show on BT.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Was you?
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: She said, it was you. She said Charlemagne was on
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: the list, and she said and then when Comedy Central
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: launched his show, she said, they're using my research.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Well, Roland, who else is on the list? Okay, why
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: do you have to let people know that at of them?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: All the other people who on the show was on
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: the list. Charlamage Migud was on the list. Roland, I
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: am not your competition, and I refuse to be responsible
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: for how you feel about yourself. You accused Breakfast Club
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: of spreading misinformation because you are trying to discredit me
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: in the platform I have helped build, as if that's
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: going to amplify what you're doing. You don't have to
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: do that, brother, you already you are a fifty six
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: year old seasoned political pundit. You have a lot of
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: respect in this space of political commentary. You are a
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: trusted source for a lot of people. Rolling be secure
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: in that and stop projecting your insecurities onto me. There's
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: a lot of things I disagree with Rolling on, and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: even with knowing he'd be sneaked, thissing, not once until
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: today have I ever spoken on him in a public manner.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: And it's never been disparaging, not even a fat joker.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And I always thought Tarita shed calling him Gerald Desert
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: was hilarious. But rolling out here lying, accusing us of
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: spreading misinformation, that's an intentional attack to discredit us. What
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: if I did an intentional attack to discredit you? What
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: if I said, could someone out there make me an
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: AI video? Okay, I want an AI video of the
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Stephanie Mills Challenge, and I want Chuck Schumer and Hakeem
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: Jeffrey singing I never.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Knew love like this before.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And I want Roland Martin in the background of that
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: video dancing for Democrats like he do. I'm talking boogey
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: in for biscuits, and I want the caption to say
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: we told Roland Martin he can cut in line at
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: the All you can Eat Bussy Buffet and he agreed
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: to be our backup dance stuff. What if I ask
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: people to do that for me, that would be an
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: intentional attack. But I'm not gonna do that. All I'm
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: going to ask you to do, sir, is don't tell
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: no lie on me, and I won't.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Speak truth about you. Please give Roland Martin the biggest
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: he huh.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you something here, Charla, I need to
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: take a I need to take a class, honey, because
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: when you professionally respond to somebody, I sit back and
