0:37
Speaker 2: Labor Day.
0:38

0:39
Speaker 2: It's a couple weeks after Labor Day.
0:40
Speaker 5: Yes, Halloween officially starts the holiday season. And, you know,
0:44
Speaker 5: I had a good weekend. I didn't do nothing. Went
0:46
Speaker 5: out with the kids Saturday. Did some trick-or-treating, you know.
0:50
Speaker 7: Yep.
0:50
Speaker 5: The wife cooks all the little... Holiday meals, like little
0:53
Speaker 5: mummy pig turkey blankets.
0:55
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, yep.
0:55
Speaker 5: I'm about to say pigs in a blanket. We don't
0:56
Speaker 5: eat pork, but, you know, the stuff I'm talking about.
0:59
Speaker 5: Little stuff like that, stuff for the kids.
1:00
Speaker 6: But, yeah, it was a good weekend.
1:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, mine was good, too.
1:01
Speaker 9: I had an amazing time. I was traveling all over.
1:03
Speaker 9: We were in Philly on Friday. It's a salute to Philly.
1:05
Speaker 6: Duvall told me he saw you in Columbus, Ohio this weekend.
1:08
Speaker 9: Duvall wore a mask in the airport, a crazy-looking mask.
1:12
Speaker 9: And I had no idea it was Duvall. He walked
1:14
Speaker 9: by me a couple of times. Then on the plane,
1:15
Speaker 9: he tapped me.
1:16
Speaker 10: He was like, Duvall.
1:17
Speaker 9: And I wanted to go see his show, but my
1:18
Speaker 9: set time was early. It was an earlier party, but
1:20
Speaker 9: I wanted to see them perform. So salute to Duvall.
1:22
Speaker 5: By the way, Duvall wears his mask all through the
1:24
Speaker 5: airport all the time.
1:25
Speaker 4: All the time?
1:25
Speaker 6: Even when it's not Halloween.
1:26
Speaker 3: Really?
1:26
Speaker 5: Yeah, they might be a little bit more crazy on Halloween,
1:29
Speaker 5: but that's his norm on the regular.
1:31
Speaker 2: That's his thing.
1:31
Speaker 5: But then the thing I really enjoyed this weekend, you know,
1:33
Speaker 5: being in Philly for the start of HBCU week.
1:36
Speaker 2: Yep.
1:36
Speaker 6: You know, we was down there on Friday.
1:38
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:39
Speaker 5: And I thoroughly enjoyed that, you know what I mean?
1:41
Speaker 6: Me too.
1:41
Speaker 5: Because that made me feel like, you know, remember back
1:43
Speaker 5: in the day when Tom Joyner, The Tom Joy and
1:45
Speaker 5: the Mona show used to go hit up the HBCU.
1:47
Speaker 2: Travel the HBCU to HBCU.
1:49
Speaker 9: Talk to the students, have the students involved, which was dope.
1:52
Speaker 9: We had the high school band there. We had the
1:54
Speaker 9: cheerleaders there. It was just so much love. So salute
1:57
Speaker 9: to Philly. When I was leaving, because I had to
1:59
Speaker 9: catch my flight to Columbus, Ohio.
2:01
Speaker 2: I seen the cheesesteak guy pull up. I missed him.
2:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kev from Taste Cheesesteak Bar. Drop on the clues.
2:07
Speaker 6: Do you know how to drop the bombs?
2:09
Speaker 2: Okay, got it.
2:09
Speaker 5: Drop on the clues bombs for Kev at Taste Cheesesteak Bar. Yes,
2:12
Speaker 5: he definitely pulled up.
2:13
Speaker 6: And you know what?
2:14
Speaker 5: Speaking of pulling up, I want them to tell us
2:17
Speaker 5: where we should go next. I want people to call.
2:20
Speaker 6: In all morning and tell us where we should go next.
2:24
Speaker 9: And it doesn't have to be homecoming. It could just

Speaker 9: be what HBCU we should pull up on.
2:28
Speaker 2: We could, you know. Yes.
2:30
Speaker 9: Get some people in there to talk to them. We
2:32
Speaker 9: can talk to the students. We can broadcast live. So

2:36
Speaker 9: somewhere before the year is over.
2:38
Speaker 5: Before we break for the holidays and stuff, we're going
2:40
Speaker 5: to go someplace else and then you know, next year,

5:17
Speaker 12: How y'all doing this morning?
5:18
Speaker 13: Hey, girl.
5:19
Speaker 11: Good morning.
5:21
Speaker 14: So Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan,
5:23
Speaker 14: America's largest injury law firm. So we start this morning
5:26
Speaker 14: with some unfortunate news in Birmingham, Alabama. That's where a
5:30
Speaker 14: shooting outside one of the biggest traditions in HBCU football
5:34
Speaker 14: left one person dead and eight others injured. The Magic
5:38
Speaker 14: City Classic, it's a rivalry between Alabama A & M
5:41
Speaker 14: and Alabama State. It dates back more than 100 years.
5:45
Speaker 14: It brings together more than 100,000 people together for that weekend.
5:48
Speaker 14: But Saturday, the celebration was interrupted by gunfire outside Legion Field.
5:54
Speaker 14: That's where the game is played. Birmingham Police Chief Michael
5:56
Speaker 14: Pickett explains what happened.
5:58
Speaker 15: Let's listen.
5:59
Speaker 16: Shortly after 7.50 p.m., multiple shots rang out in the
6:03
Speaker 16: 400 block of Graymont Avenue West. Officers responded and located
6:08
Speaker 16: multiple gunshot victims. We can confirm that a total of
6:11
Speaker 16: nine victims were wounded by gunfire, with at least one
6:15
Speaker 16: being confirmed deceased, one critical.
6:17
Speaker 6: And seven in stable condition.
6:20
Speaker 16: Multiple firearms were recovered from the scene by officers and
6:24
Speaker 16: turned into our property room.
6:27
Speaker 6: Damn, you was down there this weekend too, right?
6:28
Speaker 11: Yeah, I was. It was crazy. And do you know,
6:31
Speaker 11: it was wild, right?
6:31
Speaker 15: Of course, I was supposed to go to, you know,
6:34
Speaker 15: enjoy some of the festivities happening around Magic City Classic Weekend.
6:38
Speaker 15: And the people who were going from my show, because
6:41
Speaker 15: I only had one show, I combined the shows because
6:42
Speaker 15: there was so much going on.
6:43
Speaker 4: Right.
6:44
Speaker 15: Um, they said they got, they heard it, they heard
6:46
Speaker 15: the news on the radio. So we just ended up
6:48
Speaker 15: going to like a bar right across the street from the, um,
6:52
Speaker 15: from Stardome. And Friday, remember my pants was too small, right?
6:55
Speaker 15: So as soon as I landed, I was supposed to
6:56
Speaker 15: go to the mall in Birmingham to get something, um, different.
6:59
Speaker 11: To wear, but it was a shooting in the mall.
7:01
Speaker 4: Wow.
7:02
Speaker 11: It was, it was, it was a lot.
7:03
Speaker 6: You ain't take no clothes down to Birmingham?
7:05
Speaker 15: I did, but I wanted to wear what I had
7:08
Speaker 15: on up top and just go and find some different
7:09
Speaker 15: black pants. So I just had to change my outfit altogether.
7:12
Speaker 9: And if you don't know, that classic is probably one
7:15
Speaker 9: of the biggest Southern games.
7:17
Speaker 2: I mean, they get 200,000 people there, 70,000 people at
7:19
Speaker 2: the game. People are tailgating. There's bands. There's parades. Oh,
7:25
Speaker 2: my God.
7:25
Speaker 15: It was a lot.
7:26
Speaker 2: It's not just college. It's high school. It's middle school.
7:28
Speaker 6: Performances.
7:29
Speaker 2: Performances. Dances. It's a huge event.
7:32
Speaker 15: People were leaving the field to come to my shows,
7:35
Speaker 15: and then we're going right back.
7:36
Speaker 11: It was such a big celebration.
7:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
7:39
Speaker 12: Well, investigators have not said what led to the shooting.
7:41
Speaker 12: Police did.
7:42
Speaker 14: They shut down the remaining tailgates. the parades, all the
7:45
Speaker 14: festivities surrounding that.
7:46
Speaker 6: So it happened before?
7:47
Speaker 12: It happened after the game.
7:49
Speaker 2: Oh, after the game. Yeah. While I was on stage, it.
7:52
Speaker 11: Was going on.
7:53
Speaker 14: Investigators are still asking anyone who recorded any video, they
7:56
Speaker 14: have any footage to come forward.
7:58
Speaker 2: And did they have anybody, any suspects? They do not.
8:00
Speaker 12: Not at this time. Not at this time.
8:03
Speaker 14: And it was also just a deadly shooting in general
8:05
Speaker 14: this weekend because in Delaware, six people were shot during
8:07
Speaker 14: Halloween celebrations near the University of Delaware.
8:10
Speaker 3: Yes.
8:10
Speaker 15: I will say it felt really good to see the
8:14
Speaker 15: city of Birmingham celebrate Halloween.
8:15
Speaker 11: It was a lot of community. It was a lot
8:17
Speaker 11: of people walking around with their children. Yeah.
8:20
Speaker 15: It was where I stay because I stay in Airbnbs
8:22
Speaker 15: most of the time. Like on that whole block, it
8:24
Speaker 15: was like a community, a really nice community.
8:25
Speaker 11: It was so many people with their children. It was
8:28
Speaker 11: knocking on my Airbnb door.
8:29
Speaker 15: I'm like, I wish I had something to give y'all.
8:32
Speaker 15: But it was it was nice just to see a
8:33
Speaker 15: sense of community.
8:34
Speaker 14: And really quickly, I just wanted to get to this
8:35
Speaker 14: midterm story because elections are tomorrow. Fifty three million people
8:39
Speaker 14: have already voted. More voters will head to the polls tomorrow.
8:43
Speaker 14: The polls are showing Democrats leading in seven competitive Senate races.
8:47
Speaker 12: But most of those races are still close to call.
8:49
Speaker 14: The New York Times, Siena University poll, it shows Democrats
8:54
Speaker 14: ahead by 11 points in Michigan, six in Maine, five
8:57
Speaker 14: in Kansas and Ohio, seven in Texas. And this is
8:59
Speaker 14: all for control of the Senate is at stake. Democrats
9:03
Speaker 14: need to flip at least four seats to win the majority.
9:05
Speaker 14: And meanwhile, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, he's facing a last minute
9:10
Speaker 14: political shakeup. We were going to talk about that. We
9:13
Speaker 14: can still talk about that in the next hour as
9:14
Speaker 14: we're running out of time. But that his congresswoman, Haley Stevens,
9:18
Speaker 14: she withdrew her support from him yesterday and put her
9:22
Speaker 14: support support behind Republican Mike Rogers. So that has a
9:25
Speaker 14: lot of people talking this morning.
9:27
Speaker 6: That's why people don't trust politicians.
9:28
Speaker 5: That's why people give Democrats so much help, because so
9:30
Speaker 5: many of them choose establishment self-preservation over the needs of
9:35
Speaker 5: the people.
9:35
Speaker 6: But we'll discuss that next hour.
9:37
Speaker 8: All right.
9:37
Speaker 6: Thank you, Mimi.
9:38
Speaker 8: Absolutely.
9:40
Speaker 12: That report was brought to you by Morgan & Morgan. Injured,

10:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, y'all exposed my insecurity last week.
10:35
Speaker 3: Uh.
10:36
Speaker 7: Saying I was shy on the phone, so I wanted
10:38
Speaker 7: to clear that up.
10:39
Speaker 11: Oh, that was you?
10:40
Speaker 7: It really wasn't. I think it sounded different in the crowd, but.
10:43
Speaker 15: It definitely sounded different, because that did not sound.
10:46
Speaker 10: Like you at all.
10:46
Speaker 5: You was acting very shy for no reason.
10:48
Speaker 6: Like, you ain't never did this before.
10:49
Speaker 5: Like, you was peeking behind a tree, like, is it
10:51
Speaker 5: okay for me to come out now?
10:54
Speaker 2: Yes.
10:55
Speaker 7: Hey, I was talking to three legends in the big crowd.
10:57
Speaker 7: But that made me actually want to compliment y'all because
11:00
Speaker 7: the way y'all talk, y'all make it look so easy
11:02
Speaker 7: and it's effortless. And I really admire that. And actually,
11:05
Speaker 7: that's one thing I want to get better at myself
11:06
Speaker 7: because people do tell me I speak high and low sometimes.
11:08
Speaker 7: So if you have any recommendations for a voice coach
11:11
Speaker 7: or anything like that, I'm happy to.
11:13
Speaker 5: Well, the biggest piece of advice I can always give
11:15
Speaker 5: you is do it scared. Like you never going to
11:17
Speaker 5: talk in front of a crowd, at least for me,
11:19
Speaker 5: I deal with anxiety. So you never going to talk
11:20
Speaker 5: in front of a crowd and not have some level
11:22
Speaker 5: of anxiousness. But I mean, listen, do it scared. You know,
11:25
Speaker 5: we've been doing this long enough that I know what
11:27
Speaker 5: I'm doing. I know how to talk like talking ain't
11:29
Speaker 5: a problem. You know what I'm saying? Having a conversation
11:31
Speaker 5: ain't a problem.
11:32
Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah.
11:33
Speaker 7: And I want to recommend the— oh, I'm sorry, go ahead.
11:36
Speaker 5: You said you got to take a few deep breaths,
11:37
Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
11:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
11:38
Speaker 5: Like, for me, my forehead starts sweating a little bit
11:40
Speaker 5: like a pastor. And once I dab it a little
11:42
Speaker 5: bit and take a few deep breaths, I'm all right.
11:43
Speaker 7: Oh, it sounded easy. The way you mean it, I
11:45
Speaker 7: don't know.
11:46
Speaker 4: I don't know.
11:46
Speaker 8: I don't know.
11:46
Speaker 2: I don't know.
11:47
Speaker 4: I don't know.
11:47
Speaker 7: I'm sure it's some type of practice.
11:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:49
Speaker 6: For sure. For sure.
11:52
Speaker 7: And I want to recommend the University of Maryland Eastern
11:54
Speaker 7: Shore as a spot for y'all to stop at. Okay.
11:56
Speaker 2: Oh, to do one of our broadcasts. I'm going to
11:58

16:44
Speaker 17: A few games ago when the Cowboys were playing, you

Speaker 17: cowgirls belong on the sideline like girls, cheerleading, yada, yada,
16:56
Speaker 17: whoopie whoop. Red, go ahead and play the clip.

17:02
Speaker 15: Listen, just know that women do play football.
17:04
Speaker 4: We prefer to be on the field and not.
17:06
Speaker 2: On the sideline.

Speaker 17: We do a couple varsity games for high school girls
20:00
Speaker 17: and stuff like that that are doing flag. We allow
20:02

20:05
Speaker 6: I would tell you, man.

24:05
Speaker 15: her and them dances ate down too yes then we
24:07
Speaker 15: had so governor westmore and styles peace swapped identities i
24:12
Speaker 15: I never realized how much they looked alike.
24:14
Speaker 5: That shows me how much you don't pay attention to
24:15
Speaker 5: The Breakfast Club because I've said that to Wes on
24:17
Speaker 5: this show.
24:18
Speaker 15: I don't remember that, but I was watching this video.
24:21
Speaker 15: I was watching this video like, yo, you don't pay
24:23
Speaker 15: attention to nothing I say, okay? Right now, you're wasting time.
24:27
Speaker 4: All right.
24:27
Speaker 2: Governor Ghost is funny. That was funny.
24:29
Speaker 15: We also have Zendaya. She dressed up as Halle Berry.
24:31
Speaker 15: People have always been doing this comparison.
24:34
Speaker 7: Yes.
24:34
Speaker 15: Halle Berry tweeted and said that Zendaya won Halloween.
24:37
Speaker 5: Ain't none of y'all dressed up as Halle Berry looking
24:38
Speaker 5: all disheveled this year with her stupid white son.
24:42
Speaker 15: They may have had them teenagers giving her a run
24:43
Speaker 15: for her money on TikTok.
24:44
Speaker 22: Damn.
24:45
Speaker 15: And we also have Martha Stewart. She dressed up as
24:48
Speaker 15: a homeless, hungry person. That's crazy. She's holding a sign
24:52
Speaker 15: that says, I am hungry, help me.
24:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's dope.
24:54
Speaker 15: Yeah, now this did not go over well whatsoever. They
24:57
Speaker 15: actually used this photo to promote her candle. She has
24:59
Speaker 15: a QVC candle situation that she does. What, it's supposed
25:02
Speaker 15: to smell like outside?
25:03
Speaker 21: Listen.
25:03
Speaker 15: I'm going to tell you something.
25:04
Speaker 5: That's the first time I've ever seen somebody do that.
25:07
Speaker 5: I've been alive since 1978. I've never seen somebody dress
25:11
Speaker 5: up as a homeless person for Halloween. Like there's a
25:12
Speaker 5: lot of things that you can dress up as, but
25:15
Speaker 5: never in my life have I seen somebody say, you
25:17
Speaker 5: know what I'm going to do this year? I'm going
25:18
Speaker 5: to dress up as somebody that's poor and disenfranchised. I'm
25:20
Speaker 5: going to dress up as somebody that can't afford a
25:22
Speaker 5: place to stay. I'm going to dress up as somebody
25:24
Speaker 5: that can't afford food.
25:25
Speaker 15: I've never seen that in my life.
25:27
Speaker 2: And how do they promote a candle from this?
25:29
Speaker 15: Well, they just use it in a carousel. But she
25:32
Speaker 15: had posted it. It was later removed. Of course, she's
25:34
Speaker 15: been apologizing since Halloween. So the first apology says she
25:37
Speaker 15: was distressed that her Halloween costume yesterday, which was intended
25:41
Speaker 15: to bring more awareness to the very serious subject of homelessness,
25:43
Speaker 15: has offended people. It was never her intention. Then she
25:46
Speaker 15: posted another apology and she says, it's hard to admit
25:49
Speaker 15: when you've really screwed up. My earlier statement didn't go
25:51
Speaker 15: far enough. I know many people are suffering economically. Wearing
25:54
Speaker 15: a costume like I did was insensitive and not funny.
25:56
Speaker 15: I'm very sorry.
25:58
Speaker 4: Rich ass.
25:59
Speaker 11: Yeah.
25:59
Speaker 6: That shows that either.
26:00
Speaker 5: I mean, we know clearly she's completely out of touch,
26:03
Speaker 5: but also she has a bunch of people around her
26:06
Speaker 5: that are completely.
26:07
Speaker 8: Out of touch.
26:07
Speaker 5: You mean nobody saw that and was like, you know what, Martha,
26:10
Speaker 5: that's not a good idea.
26:11
Speaker 9: But even if she said she did it too, it
26:12
Speaker 9: would have been like, help me feed the homeless at www.donate.
26:15
Speaker 6: Yeah, something like that.
26:16
Speaker 2: Like, you know what I mean? It would have been
26:17
Speaker 2: something like that. Give a message to help. But I'm hungry,
26:19
Speaker 2: help me?
26:19
Speaker 17: Yeah, nah.
26:20
Speaker 15: Even if you put that, though, people still, you just,
26:21
Speaker 15: I mean, it was funny. It's very distasteful.
26:23
Speaker 11: There's no reason why.
26:24
Speaker 15: And it's heartbreaking for homeless people.
26:26
Speaker 3: Yep.
26:26
Speaker 15: I know, did you guys see Heidi Klum?
26:28
Speaker 6: She killed it.
26:29
Speaker 15: I think she won Halloween. Yeah, she does a big
26:31
Speaker 15: Halloween costume, Halloween party every single year. So she popped
26:34
Speaker 15: out of this.
26:35
Speaker 2: How did she get in the party with that? That's huge, bro.
26:38
Speaker 2: I don't know.
26:38
Speaker 6: It's her party, dummy.
26:39
Speaker 2: She had to wiggle in the party because it's so big.
26:42
Speaker 4: It's not a small party.
26:43
Speaker 15: I saw videos of her popping out of the van.
26:45
Speaker 2: She pulled up in a U-Haul, bro.
26:47
Speaker 1: Yes.
26:47
Speaker 15: She still put a lot of effort into Halloween.
26:50
Speaker 8: She couldn't drive there.
26:51
Speaker 6: But it's probably not hard.
26:53
Speaker 11: Yeah.
26:54
Speaker 15: Listen, did you see the video where it, like, it
26:56
Speaker 15: folds and everything? Like, you know, it looked like a
26:58
Speaker 15: real hand.
26:58
Speaker 11: Like, moving.
26:59
Speaker 15: The video is, like, her hand and then she goes
27:01
Speaker 15: into this hand.
27:02
Speaker 2: She is so creative.
27:03
Speaker 11: I love Heidi Klum.
27:04
Speaker 15: Yes, but, yeah, that was Halloween.
27:06
Speaker 11: It was one more, baby.
27:07
Speaker 15: Coco Jones as Mary J. Blige as well.
27:10
Speaker 11: Because she killed that, too.
27:11
Speaker 4: Yes.
27:12
Speaker 7: Okay.
27:13
Speaker 15: Alrighty, y'all.
27:14
Speaker 7: Damn.
27:14
Speaker 15: That was hot.
27:15
Speaker 11: Damn, even the instrumental went off.
27:17
Speaker 2: Y'all ain't care about that. Coco Jones.
27:19
Speaker 15: There's like a whole video that accompanies it, too, as well.
27:22
Speaker 15: It was a nice tribute.
27:23
Speaker 2: What's her name? Kiki did Michael Jackson and Janet.
27:26
Speaker 19: Yes.
27:26
Speaker 11: Her and her son.
27:27
Speaker 2: Her son. Yeah, her and her son.
27:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
27:30
Speaker 15: They posted that before Halloween. I saw Chloe Bailey as well.
27:33
Speaker 6: I think it's the difference between costumes and tributes.
27:35
Speaker 11: Like, Heidi Klum is a costume.
27:37
Speaker 6: Coco Jones is a tribute. What Mary J. Blige did
27:40
Speaker 6: is a tribute. What Zendaya did is a tribute. This
27:42
Speaker 6: is an actual costume. This is what Halloween is about. Absolutely.
27:46
Speaker 15: I'm going to say, isn't it crazy how Halloween has, like,
27:49
Speaker 15: come to, like, tributes now? But I don't know because...
27:52
Speaker 15: It's about more tribute than... There are some celebrities that
27:55
Speaker 15: will say, like, once you get to Halloween costume status, like,
27:58
Speaker 15: it's like a thing. And it's not really even, like,
27:59
Speaker 15: the tribute. It's just the fact that people go buy
28:01
Speaker 15: your costume. That means, like, you're a real bring.
28:02
Speaker 6: There's only a few.
28:04
Speaker 5: celebrities who you can actually dress like and people know exactly.
28:07
Speaker 17: Who you are.
28:08
Speaker 15: Michael Jackson, of course.
28:10
Speaker 6: Little John.
28:13
Speaker 2: Biggie. They do Biggie all the time with the coogee
28:15
Speaker 2: and Timbs and hat.
28:17
Speaker 11: It's a lot of big black dudes. They do Lil'
28:19
Speaker 11: Kim a lot.
28:20
Speaker 15: It's like the Coogee sweater.
28:21

29:41
Speaker 14: America's largest injury law firm.
29:43
Speaker 12: We have a lot to try and get through this hour.
29:45
Speaker 12: We're going to.
29:45
Speaker 14: Start in New York City. where a 15-year-old boy was
29:48
Speaker 14: shot and killed on his.
29:50
Speaker 12: Way to school.
29:50
Speaker 2: So damn sad.
29:51
Speaker 12: This is such a sad story.
29:53
Speaker 14: Jarvis Frimprong, he moved to the United States from Ghana
29:57
Speaker 14: about a year ago to live with his father in
29:59
Speaker 14: the Bronx. And last week, he was walking to school
30:01
Speaker 14: when someone opened fire. A surveillance video shows him running
30:04
Speaker 14: for his life as someone dressed in black chases him.
30:07
Speaker 14: Moments later, he falls to the ground after being shot
30:10
Speaker 14: in the stomach. Now, police, they rush him to the
30:13
Speaker 14: hospital in their patrol car, but he did not survive.
30:16
Speaker 14: His father says that he had been dealing with bullying
30:18
Speaker 14: at school before he was killed.
30:20
Speaker 12: Let's listen to that.
30:22
Speaker 13: Like three days ago, even though it was the principal
30:25
Speaker 13: who told me, who called me, he said, two guys
30:29
Speaker 13: are disturbing my son. I will tell them everything. To
30:32
Speaker 13: give themselves to the police. I don't think they are
30:37
Speaker 13: going to go free for killing an innocent child.
30:42
Speaker 4: For killing an innocent child. I lost him.
30:45
Speaker 2: Why should I? I don't know what to do now.
30:49
Speaker 11: I'm so sad, man. Very, very, very, very sad.
30:53
Speaker 12: So far, no arrests have been made.
30:54
Speaker 14: Police are searching for three teenage boys believed to be
30:57
Speaker 14: between 16 and 18 years old. They were last seen
31:00
Speaker 14: wearing black clothing, a blue surgical mask. Investigators have not
31:04
Speaker 14: confirmed whether the bullying... actually led to the shooting or
31:08
Speaker 14: those two are connected. But his mother is still in Ghana,
31:12
Speaker 14: thousands of miles away. The mayor, Zoran Mandani of New York,
31:16
Speaker 14: he said that he spoke with President Trump and he
31:17
Speaker 14: has agreed to grant her an emergency visa so that
31:20
Speaker 14: she can travel to the United States to bury her son.
31:23
Speaker 14: And Ghana's government says it will cover. her travel expenses
31:27
Speaker 14: and offered to help pay for some of the funeral.
31:28
Speaker 5: And to those young people that did that, I mean,
31:30
Speaker 5: you can run, but you can't hide. Like you are
31:32
Speaker 5: going to get arrested and they are going to throw
31:34
Speaker 5: you under the jail and make an example of you.
31:36
Speaker 5: And you will spend the rest of your life in prison.
31:39
Speaker 5: It's just really that simple.
31:40
Speaker 2: I just, I just have so many questions. I just
31:42
Speaker 2: don't understand. The young boy was running.
31:44
Speaker 11: So it was like, It was intentional.
31:48
Speaker 5: But he's also dealing with a bunch of kids who
31:49
Speaker 5: don't know the consequences to their actions. In their mind,
31:52
Speaker 5: it's like playing Call of Duty or Resident Evil on
31:57
Speaker 5: one of these games.
31:58
Speaker 6: They don't realize the consequences of what they're doing. But
32:00
Speaker 6: they about to find out.
32:01
Speaker 2: So sorry for that family.
32:03
Speaker 21: Absolutely.
32:05
Speaker 14: To get into a few quick headlines making news this morning.
32:07
Speaker 14: In Florida, nine people are dead after a private jet
32:11
Speaker 14: crashed into a residential neighborhood in Palm Beach on Sunday.
32:15

32:16
Speaker 2: I did.
32:16
Speaker 14: That that plane was headed from Texas to the Bahamas
32:20
Speaker 14: when it went down. Federal investigators are working to determine
32:23
Speaker 14: what caused that crash.
32:24
Speaker 2: I've never seen a plane crash like that.
32:26
Speaker 20: Yeah.
32:26
Speaker 15: It was like nose down.
32:29
Speaker 9: And I don't know if that audio is real, but
32:32
Speaker 9: I know little Duvall salute to Duvall.
32:33
Speaker 2: I actually see them this weekend.
32:35
Speaker 9: He was playing the audio of what it sounded like
32:37
Speaker 9: of them talking to the F, whatever it is, the F.
32:39
Speaker 2: And they were like, well, and she was like, we're
32:40
Speaker 2: going no damn straight. And he was like, tell me how,
32:42
Speaker 2: tell me why.
32:43
Speaker 9: And it was just, you can hear the last moments,
32:45
Speaker 9: which I shouldn't listen to, but it's just so damn sad, man.
32:48
Speaker 12: It was very, very, very sad. It clouded, like, not smoke,
32:52
Speaker 12: but fire.
32:53
Speaker 10: It was straight down.
32:54
Speaker 12: Yeah, it was very, very sad.
32:56
Speaker 14: And lastly, switching gears really quick this morning, Burger King
33:00
Speaker 14: is facing backlash after a white employee showed up to
33:03
Speaker 14: work on Halloween. wearing blackface and was allowed to serve customers.
33:07
Speaker 14: This happened at a Burger King in Minnesota about an
33:10
Speaker 14: hour south of Minneapolis. Video shows the woman working the
33:14
Speaker 14: drive-thru with her face painted black. A black customer confronts
33:18
Speaker 14: her and asks her why she thought it was appropriate.
33:21
Speaker 15: Let's listen. What you tell me? I'm just blackface. And
33:25
Speaker 15: I asked you what?
33:27
Speaker 19: You said, did I think it was okay?
33:28
Speaker 15: And what was your response? As long as you have
33:30
Speaker 15: a good heart. And so your intentions is good.
33:32
Speaker 2: So that means you, you what?
33:35
Speaker 15: Black lives matter.
33:36
Speaker 4: Well, no, I just want to be black.
33:38
Speaker 7: Let me not.
33:39
Speaker 15: Why would you want to be black? Do you know
33:41
Speaker 15: the struggles that we go through as black people?
33:43
Speaker 20: Sorry, make me laugh.
33:44
Speaker 1: Sorry.
33:44
Speaker 21: No, yes.
33:45
Speaker 23: Yes, I do.
33:45
Speaker 4: I mean, no, I don't.
33:46
Speaker 7: No, I don't.
33:47
Speaker 8: No, I don't.
33:48
Speaker 15: Is she playing? Is she joking?
33:50
Speaker 5: But how come when people say they want to be black,
33:51
Speaker 5: they never pick the actual skin complexion of brown people? Like,
33:54
Speaker 5: there's no black person that be looking the way y'all
33:56
Speaker 5: be painting.
33:57
Speaker 4: Black is hell like tar.
33:58
Speaker 11: Like, why?
34:00
Speaker 6: Why do they do that? Yeah.
34:02
Speaker 15: And then was she scared? Did you see the actual video?
34:04
Speaker 15: I saw the actual video.
34:05
Speaker 11: Was she smiling when she was standing?
34:07
Speaker 12: She was smiling. The white lady was serious.
34:10
Speaker 11: Okay, that's what I'm saying. She was serious.
34:11
Speaker 15: Was she serious or was she joking?
34:12
Speaker 2: No, no, no.
34:13
Speaker 4: She was serious.
34:13
Speaker 11: She was serious. Damn.
34:14
Speaker 15: She was dead ass serious.
34:16
Speaker 2: I thought it was AI at first. I was like,
34:17
Speaker 2: there's no way somebody would come to work like that
34:20
Speaker 2: in Vietnam. There's no way.
34:21
Speaker 14: Well, the franchise is facing a little backlash for actually
34:23
Speaker 14: letting her serve customers.
34:25
Speaker 15: Of course they are.
34:26
Speaker 12: With that on her face.
34:29
Speaker 14: But that video has since gone viral with people flooding
34:31
Speaker 14: the restaurant's online views and calling for that employee to
34:34
Speaker 14: be fired.
34:34
Speaker 5: Well, that's the problem. Some people are professional rage baiters.
34:37
Speaker 5: And if they know all you're going to do is
34:39
Speaker 5: go on social media to express your grievances, they'll continue
34:42
Speaker 5: to do things like that.
34:43
Speaker 11: And make them famous.
34:44
Speaker 6: That's all it is.
34:45
Speaker 11: That's all it is.
34:47
Speaker 6: I've been punched in the face before, guys.
34:49
Speaker 8: Okay?
34:49
Speaker 6: Quite a few times in my life.
34:51
Speaker 4: And I deserved it.
34:52
Speaker 6: Okay?
34:52
Speaker 5: Every single time I got punched in the face. All
34:55
Speaker 5: I'm simply saying is we might need to get back
34:57
Speaker 5: to that.
34:57
Speaker 4: Exactly.
34:58
Speaker 8: That's it.
34:59
Speaker 5: Or at least the threat of being punched in the face.
35:01
Speaker 5: Y'all want to talk and pull your phones out and record.
35:04
Speaker 6: And run the.
35:04
Speaker 4: Hold up the line.
35:06
Speaker 6: Run to the internet and complain.
35:07
Speaker 7: Like.
35:09
Speaker 5: Some things got to be dealt with in real time.
35:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, but people don't. Yeah, I get what you're saying.
35:13
Speaker 11: That's all I'm saying.
35:14
Speaker 8: People don't want to get arrested.
35:15
Speaker 2: You got to bail somebody out. Well, shut the hell
35:17
Speaker 2: up then.
35:18
Speaker 4: You got to sit down, you know.
35:19
Speaker 11: This is ridiculous.
35:20
Speaker 15: You might as well just not do nothing.
35:21
Speaker 6: Just pull out your phone and record. What is that doing?
35:23
Speaker 6: Because this person rage baited you.
35:25
Speaker 5: So now you record them, make them go viral, and
35:27
Speaker 5: rage bait everybody else.
35:29
Speaker 6: Nip that in the bud right in there, man.
35:31
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm from the day, yeah.
35:33
Speaker 1: Okay?
35:33
Speaker 5: That's all I'm saying. And by the way, I'm not
35:35
Speaker 5: encouraging violence. I'm just telling you how it was back
35:37
Speaker 5: in my day.
35:38
Speaker 11: Absolutely.
35:38
Speaker 6: Back in my day, you get punched in the face. Okay?
35:41
Speaker 5: And then after that person gets punched in the face,
35:44
Speaker 5: then they know how to move a little different. Who
35:46
Speaker 5: was I talking to this morning, this weekend, and I
35:48
Speaker 5: was saying how... You know, violence isn't always the answer,
35:52
Speaker 5: but violence is sometimes a love language. That's what I
35:53
Speaker 5: said to the person. I said violence is sometimes a
35:55
Speaker 5: love language. Because sometimes somebody will do something to you
35:58
Speaker 5: that'll keep you from getting killed in the future.
36:01
Speaker 8: Straight up. That's true. Might just be a slap.
36:04
Speaker 5: Might just be a punch in the face. Might just
36:05
Speaker 5: be a grab you by the shirt, throw you up
36:06
Speaker 5: against the wall. But it's something that lets you know
36:09
Speaker 5: things could get real. Sometimes a little bit of violence,
36:12
Speaker 5: just a little, little bit of violence.
36:14
Speaker 6: It's a love language.
36:18
Speaker 14: Well, Burger King says it's aware of the video and
36:20
Speaker 14: it's taking the matter seriously. The company says the franchise
36:24
Speaker 14: operator is addressing the incident with the employee and staff.
36:26
Speaker 14: No word on if that employee has been fired yet.
36:29

Speaker 9: put out.
38:21
Speaker 2: Yes. Amazing single.
38:23
Speaker 15: Yes.
38:23
Speaker 2: We loved it from the door. This time is the
38:25
Speaker 2: name of it.
38:26
Speaker 8: Yeah, man.
38:26
Speaker 10: I was very humbled to see how much love you
38:28
Speaker 10: were giving.
38:29
Speaker 4: Yes.
38:30
Speaker 8: Really. You know what?
38:31
Speaker 9: It was, when we first heard the record, we just
38:34
Speaker 9: thought it was an amazing record, right? We didn't think
38:36
Speaker 9: about it being a gospel song or a religious song.
38:39
Speaker 9: We just said it's a dope song, and a dope
38:40
Speaker 9: song should be played.
38:42
Speaker 6: And you sampled a dope.
38:43
Speaker 4: Record, Shorty Lowe?
38:43
Speaker 11: Yes, you did.
38:44
Speaker 2: No, they sampled the original. They sampled the original of
38:46
Speaker 2: Shorty Lowe.
38:46
Speaker 8: What's the original?
38:47
Speaker 2: They sampled where Shorty Lowe got it from. Oh, okay, okay.
38:49
Speaker 10: 1976 record. It's 1976 by a band called Mandrell.
38:52
Speaker 6: Oh, wow.
38:53
Speaker 10: And it's a song called Children.
38:54
Speaker 6: Of the Sun.
38:56
Speaker 10: And so R.I.P.
38:56
Speaker 1: To Shorty Lowe, though. He did sample it first. And
39:00
Speaker 1: then I went back and sampled it. So this song...
39:03
Speaker 1: is an original record from the 70s.
39:05
Speaker 6: You know that's what we call you, we call you
39:06
Speaker 6: Holy Low.
39:07
Speaker 1: And not only that, and then they show me that
39:12
Speaker 1: you text about the record.
39:13
Speaker 10: I'm telling you, man, I was just really humble, and I.
39:16
Speaker 1: Saw you at the crib dancing to the record, and
39:18
Speaker 1: you know, and of course you came and blessed me
39:20
Speaker 1: with your presence.
39:21
Speaker 10: And I think.
39:24
Speaker 1: That privately, all gospel artists, privately, all gospel artists, they
39:32
Speaker 1: pray that their body work. stands on it just being
39:35
Speaker 1: good work and not categorized. And I think sometimes we
39:38
Speaker 1: can't publicly say it. It's because it looks like that
39:42
Speaker 1: our motive and our intent is to be something else.
39:44
Speaker 1: You know, like I'm a proud gospel artist. Like, you know,
39:47
Speaker 1: I do music that talks about my Lord and Savior,
39:49
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ.
39:50
Speaker 10: That's what I do. But I want my content and
39:52
Speaker 10: I want my stuff to be quality. You know what
39:55
Speaker 10: I mean?
39:55
Speaker 1: Like, you know, like one of the biggest examples I
39:57
Speaker 1: have is that when two girls, like, like if a
39:59
Speaker 1: girlfriend called a girl and said, girl, I got some
40:01
Speaker 1: tickets to this movie that's going to be premiering tonight.
40:03
Speaker 1: And she said, oh girl, come on, let's get cute.
40:05
Speaker 1: We're going to do red carpet. And then the other
40:07
Speaker 1: girlfriend says, what kind of movie is it? And then
40:10
Speaker 1: the other girlfriend says, oh, it's a Christian movie. Well,
40:13
Speaker 1: we already know what her other girlfriend's going to do.
40:15
Speaker 10: She's going to do this.
40:17
Speaker 3: Oh.
40:18
Speaker 11: Yeah.
40:18
Speaker 8: Naturally.
40:19
Speaker 11: Right.
40:19
Speaker 6: Let me change my outfit.
40:24
Speaker 4: Like there's no cap in that.
40:25
Speaker 1: The reason why is because the expectation is not as high.
40:31
Speaker 10: And that has always broken my heart.
40:33
Speaker 1: And so that's what I have always chased after is
40:37
Speaker 1: that I want to chase after the So when you,
40:41
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, like, okay, Kurt's about to do music.
40:43
Speaker 1: I don't want it to be, oh, I want it
40:44
Speaker 1: to be, okay, I want to expect quality. I want
40:47
Speaker 1: to expect the mix to be fire. I want to
40:49
Speaker 1: expect the beat to be fire. It's because I'm doing
40:52
Speaker 1: music about the greatest. And if I'm doing music about
40:55
Speaker 1: the greatest, I want the music to be the greatest.
40:58
Speaker 9: And the funny thing is, you know, I don't know
41:00
Speaker 9: if they ever tell you, but I called the label, right?
41:02
Speaker 2: And I told them, I said, they're looking at this wrong.
41:04
Speaker 2: And they said, well, what do you mean? I said,
41:06
Speaker 2: y'all looking at this as a gospel record. I said,
41:08
Speaker 2: look at this as Jesus walks.
41:09
Speaker 6: Yeah.
41:10
Speaker 15: Yes.
41:11
Speaker 10: One of the greatest gospel songs ever.
41:13
Speaker 2: But it wasn't considered necessarily a gospel record. It was
41:16
Speaker 2: just a good record.
41:17
Speaker 10: I'm being funny when I say that. I'm trying to
41:20
Speaker 10: be sarcastic when I say that. It's a dope record. Yes.
41:23
Speaker 2: And this is a dope record. So I was like,
41:24
Speaker 2: this should have the shot to play on regular. And
41:27
Speaker 2: y'all went for ads and it's doing amazing.
41:29
Speaker 8: So I love that.
41:31
Speaker 10: I love that. No, but you don't understand. I'm humbled
41:33
Speaker 10: by this.
41:34
Speaker 6: There's two questions I want to ask.
41:36
Speaker 5: Number one, when it comes to the music, in the
41:39
Speaker 5: church they say, come as you are.
41:41
Speaker 7: Yes, sir.
41:41
Speaker 5: But how come when it comes to your music, you
41:43
Speaker 5: can't come as you are?
41:48
Speaker 1: I think that there is still a colonialized ideology when
41:52
Speaker 1: it comes to especially the culture of African-American Christianity that
41:56
Speaker 1: we still fight through. It's that I think that there
41:58
Speaker 1: has always been this mindset whipped.
42:04
Speaker 10: You know, inside of us that you can't do this.
42:07
Speaker 10: You can't do that.
42:08
Speaker 8: You can't.
42:09
Speaker 1: It's because that's how Western Christianity was taught to people
42:13
Speaker 1: of color.
42:14
Speaker 10: You can't, you can't, you can't, you can't. And so,
42:17
Speaker 10: you know, you can't iron on Sunday.
42:19
Speaker 11: You know what I mean?
42:19
Speaker 10: Like you can't do this. You can't go to the movies.
42:23
Speaker 1: And so if you want to be good at something,
42:25
Speaker 1: it was almost like you're being too prideful.
42:28
Speaker 10: It's too much about you. You're being too cocky. Stay humble.
42:32
Speaker 1: And so these, These colonized ideals have been passed down.
42:38
Speaker 1: It's because to be free to do something, it has
42:43
Speaker 1: this idea of freedom.
42:44
Speaker 11: Yeah.
42:45
Speaker 1: And freedom of Christianity has always been an interesting construct.
42:51
Speaker 5: You preach it now, especially because we know that some
42:53
Speaker 5: of the original scriptures were used to keep people enslaved.
42:57
Speaker 10: That's my point.
42:59
Speaker 1: And so that colonized ideology has been passed down to
43:02
Speaker 1: our people. And so there's not a freedom in the
43:06
Speaker 1: idea of to be free in your faith and to
43:09
Speaker 1: be free as a Christian has been somewhat a difficult
43:12
Speaker 1: construct to try to deconstruct.
43:15
Speaker 2: They beat you up, though.
43:16
Speaker 9: They beat you up about that single having Gorilla on
43:18
Speaker 9: and having a rapper that.
43:20
Speaker 2: You know, not necessarily does Christian rap.
43:22
Speaker 11: Her name is Hallelujah.
43:24
Speaker 7: Woods.
43:25
Speaker 4: Right.
43:26
Speaker 9: So what do you say to the people that follow
43:28
Speaker 9: you that were upset that Glorilla was on your first
43:30
Speaker 9: single and says she's done other records that don't necessarily
43:34
Speaker 9: represent what you're about, but you put her on a single?
43:38
Speaker 10: I don't say much. I mean, for me, this is
43:40
Speaker 10: a 30-year-old argument.
43:41
Speaker 1: They were saying it with salt and stomp.
43:45
Speaker 8: Stomp, yeah.
43:45
Speaker 1: And it's a 30... It breaks my heart that it's
43:48
Speaker 1: an old argument. And I think more than anything, it's
43:51
Speaker 1: because I'm okay with it. Because first of all, people
43:55
Speaker 1: have the right to judge. Judging in Scripture is a
44:00
Speaker 1: biblical construct, but it was always from the context of
44:03
Speaker 1: bringing people back in. We all make judgments. You judge
44:07
Speaker 1: what you water today. You judge where you go eat.
44:09
Speaker 1: It's not a sin to judge. It is the motive
44:15
Speaker 1: and the intent behind the judgment. It's because the text says,
44:19
Speaker 1: he who winneth the soul is wise. So when you
44:21
Speaker 1: are condemning and critiquing, pushing, my question to the community
44:26
Speaker 1: will always be, what is the motive?
44:27
Speaker 10: What is your goal? Is your goal to win? Or
44:29
Speaker 10: is your goal to push away?
44:31
Speaker 1: And I think that what broke my heart for her
44:33
Speaker 1: is in a conversation we were having when she said, Kirk,
44:37
Speaker 1: everybody says that I can't praise God and I can't
44:39
Speaker 1: do a gospel song. She said, but the Bible says
44:41
Speaker 1: that the rocks can cry out. She said, so if
44:44
Speaker 1: a rock can praise God, why can't I? And that
44:48
Speaker 1: broke my heart.
44:49
Speaker 8: That hurt.
44:50
Speaker 5: And also, you're bringing people to the word. And man,
44:52
Speaker 5: you just said something that just made me think about it.
44:55
Speaker 6: Salt was on a stump.
44:56
Speaker 10: 30 years ago.
44:57
Speaker 5: And then Salt went on her own faith journey. So
45:00
Speaker 5: look where she is now. How do we know that
45:02
Speaker 5: wasn't the beginning stages of her faith journey?
45:05
Speaker 11: Preach, preach.
45:06
Speaker 1: That's why you can't micromanage people's journey. You can't micromanage
45:10
Speaker 1: anybody's processes. You got to let the process be the
45:13
Speaker 1: process because nobody can determine what that future picture looks like.
45:19
Speaker 15: Where are you with your relationship with music when it
45:22
Speaker 15: comes to, you mentioned it in the first song, that
45:25
Speaker 15: it takes you away from your family sometimes and you're
45:27
Speaker 15: apologizing to your family and your wife. How have you
45:30
Speaker 15: dealt with that back.
45:32
Speaker 11: And forth internally?
45:33
Speaker 10: Great, great, great question. And I don't know.
45:36
Speaker 1: It's forever tension. And especially, I think, for men. I
45:40
Speaker 1: think it's a tension that when our callings and our
45:43
Speaker 1: creativity and also the way we provide always kind of
45:46
Speaker 1: come to the table, there's always that thing that we
45:50
Speaker 1: always kind of struggle and kind of pulls us. And
45:53
Speaker 1: I don't always have the solution. I'm not always good
45:55
Speaker 1: at it because I knew music before I knew them.
45:58
Speaker 15: Yeah.
46:00
Speaker 6: Yeah.
46:01
Speaker 10: If that makes sense.
46:02
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't have a mom and dad to
46:03
Speaker 1: tell me they loved me. Music was the first thing
46:05
Speaker 1: that told me they loved me. And then I wasn't
46:08
Speaker 1: a struggling musician when I got married. I was already
46:12
Speaker 1: whoever I was. Why We Sing was out. And I
46:16
Speaker 1: was traveling. Silver and Gold was out. Melodies from Heaven
46:19
Speaker 1: was out. All these songs were out by the time
46:20
Speaker 1: I got married. And so by the time I had
46:24
Speaker 1: children and all that, I was doing everything. So it's
46:27
Speaker 1: always that pressure and that tension that that, you know,
46:29
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle of the night and I got
46:32
Speaker 1: to get out of the bed because a song hit,
46:33
Speaker 1: you know, or we out to eat and, you know,
46:36
Speaker 1: I got to run outside and put an idea on
46:38
Speaker 1: the phone is because those things also.
46:40
Speaker 10: Pay for that dinner.
46:42
Speaker 15: Has there ever been a point where, like, that pressure
46:43
Speaker 15: and attention has made you, like, stop focusing on saving
46:46
Speaker 15: other people just to save what is family and what
46:48
Speaker 15: is home? Like, were you, like, shut down for some
46:51
Speaker 15: time and was like, I need to focus on family
46:52
Speaker 15: and home?
46:55
Speaker 1: Unfortunately, probably not. Um, But at the same time, I
47:00
Speaker 1: have tried my best. Like, for example, like, I mean,
47:04
Speaker 1: you all saw publicly what happened with me and my
47:06
Speaker 1: oldest son.
47:07
Speaker 23: Yeah.
47:08
Speaker 1: But before it became public, it was years of challenges privately.
47:12
Speaker 3: Years.
47:13
Speaker 1: So it was years of leaving right off the stage,
47:15
Speaker 1: catching a plane, you know what I mean? Even leasing
47:17
Speaker 1: planes to try to get back to try to, you know,
47:21
Speaker 1: you know, rehab and, you know, you know. trying to
47:25
Speaker 1: help get out of jail. I want him someday to
47:29
Speaker 1: tell his own story, so I don't want to say
47:31
Speaker 1: too much, but there's been years of intrusion where I'm
47:39
Speaker 1: on tour, I'm in the studio, and you've got to
47:41
Speaker 1: stop to deal with these harsh realities.
47:45
Speaker 10: And so.
47:47
Speaker 1: I've tried to do my best, and I will always
47:50
Speaker 1: continue to try to do my best.
47:51
Speaker 2: What's your relationship now?
47:53
Speaker 10: It's still.
47:54
Speaker 1: difficult it's still rough I I still pray that he
47:58
Speaker 1: gets the help that he deserves it's because he matters
48:03
Speaker 1: you know he's God's child and he matters and and
48:07
Speaker 1: and and because he still has oxygen it's never too
48:10
Speaker 1: late yeah your child too though he's my child too
48:14
Speaker 1: he's he's my child too but I must maneuver in
48:19
Speaker 1: ways that I can't that that that that I can't
48:25
Speaker 1: respond to him at 38 the way I would if
48:30
Speaker 1: he was eight. That as a grown man, I need
48:34
Speaker 1: his participation in his recovery.
48:37
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
48:38
Speaker 10: That he's got to participate in it as well. Is
48:40
Speaker 10: that fair?
48:41
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
48:41
Speaker 5: And it's difficult when you're around somebody that you love, right?
48:44
Speaker 5: Because this is your flesh and blood. It's your child.
48:45
Speaker 10: My firstborn. That's my firstborn.
48:47
Speaker 6: Boy, you'd be wanting to put hands on them sometime
48:49
Speaker 6: when they get a little too sporty.
48:50
Speaker 2: He's 38, too. That's what I'm saying.
48:52
Speaker 6: In the name of Jesus.
48:53
Speaker 10: And that happened when he was turning 34.
48:56
Speaker 1: So he was already kind of like a grown, you know,
48:59
Speaker 1: and so, you know, I am not proud of everything
49:04
Speaker 1: I said. And I'm not proud of how I handled it.
49:09
Speaker 1: But in my heart, I meant it.
49:12
Speaker 2: It's two grown men having a conversation.
49:13
Speaker 11: Even though listen.
49:14
Speaker 1: Listen listen i'm gonna say it one more time i
49:16
Speaker 1: know i'm little and i'm gonna move on a little
49:18
Speaker 1: bit everything i said is because i'd rather do this
49:23
Speaker 1: with me and you then you get out here somebody
49:26
Speaker 1: that don't love you yeah do this so so we
49:29
Speaker 1: can do this you know i'm saying because i'm gonna
49:31
Speaker 1: do what we're gonna do and then we're gonna go
49:33
Speaker 1: get ice cream you know what i mean but but
49:36
Speaker 1: you gotta understand that that that You came for me,
49:40
Speaker 1: but you're not me.
49:42
Speaker 8: You know?
49:42
Speaker 1: And, you know, I love Jesus, but I'm really about
49:48
Speaker 1: that life.
49:49
Speaker 4: Jesus flip tables.
49:50
Speaker 2: I'm really about that life.
49:52
Speaker 10: He ain't going to want ice cream.
49:54
Speaker 9: He's going to want steak, though. Ice cream a little young,
49:56
Speaker 9: but he's going to want steak. I was going to
49:57
Speaker 9: ask you, how do you trust it now? At this age,
50:11
Speaker 9: can you trust it now to have another conversation?
50:13
Speaker 2: Because, you know, like that's your son. So you feel
50:16
Speaker 2: like anything in the house stays in the house, regardless, right?
50:18
Speaker 9: Like you said, we can argue, we can go neck
50:20
Speaker 9: to neck, but later we'll go get a meal and say,
50:22
Speaker 9: you know, we can laugh about it, watch the game.
50:24
Speaker 2: Can you trust that now with those conversations?
50:26
Speaker 17: No.
50:28
Speaker 8: No, no.
50:29
Speaker 1: It's because, and then I found out that some of
50:32
Speaker 1: the motives was also because there was a reality show
50:35
Speaker 1: that happened after that he was on.
50:37
Speaker 15: The Bad Boys Club.
50:38
Speaker 10: And some of that was the audition process.
50:41
Speaker 11: Oh, wow.
50:42
Speaker 22: Yeah.
50:42
Speaker 6: Wow, wow, wow.
50:43
Speaker 10: And that broke me. That broke me.
50:44
Speaker 6: Using you for content is nasty.
50:46
Speaker 10: That broke me.
50:46
Speaker 8: Man.
50:47
Speaker 1: That broke me to the point that I even said to,
50:51
Speaker 1: and I haven't said this before publicly.
50:54
Speaker 10: I'll say it now.
50:56
Speaker 1: Is that the individual that even owned the company that
50:59
Speaker 1: the show was on I went up to him at
51:02
Speaker 1: the BT Awards right after that and I said to
51:05
Speaker 1: him I said I need your help I need you
51:08
Speaker 1: to help me save my son's life don't put him
51:10
Speaker 1: back on that show don't put him back on that
51:13
Speaker 1: show I need you to help me save his life
51:16
Speaker 1: you a father too don't put him back on that
51:19
Speaker 1: show and unfortunately he did and that continued the demise
51:23
Speaker 1: of my son that show That show was a catalyst
51:27
Speaker 1: to my son's demise.
51:28
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah. You've seen the show. It's not high quality.
51:32
Speaker 1: It's not black men showing love and decency to each other.
51:36
Speaker 10: But that's my son.
51:38
Speaker 11: Yeah, man.
51:39
Speaker 10: It's like, that's my son.
51:41
Speaker 6: So when you spoke to LaMell, did he tell you
51:44
Speaker 6: that he wasn't going to do that? Did he give
51:45
Speaker 6: you his word? Like, I promise your son ain't going
51:48
Speaker 6: to be on there no more.
51:49
Speaker 10: I just love how he is.
51:50
Speaker 11: You know.
51:51
Speaker 6: You said he's the public face and fake. You said
51:53
Speaker 6: the owner of that. Everybody know who that is.
51:55
Speaker 10: But I just love how you do that in there.
51:58
Speaker 15: So what did LaMell say?
51:59
Speaker 4: He looks stupid.
52:03
Speaker 8: He looks stupid.
52:04
Speaker 10: He just good. It's like, see, that's why you.
52:06
Speaker 11: Get paid the big bucks.
52:07
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir. Did he give you his word in
52:10
Speaker 6: that moment? Because that's not honorable if he gave you
52:12
Speaker 6: his word and still put him on there.
52:16
Speaker 8: Damn, LaMell.
52:18
Speaker 6: You going to hell.
52:20
Speaker 9: On that same show, I know that there were conversations.
52:25
Speaker 4: About your son's sexuality too. And I put that in
52:27
Speaker 4: the public eye. I love my son. I love my son.
52:49
Speaker 10: And I would love whoever my son loves. I love
52:53
Speaker 10: my son. That's my son.
52:54
Speaker 2: Yeah.
52:56
Speaker 15: When we had our live conversation here for the album,
52:58
Speaker 15: you said to me that you thought that you didn't
53:00
Speaker 15: have anything more to say before you dropped this project.
53:04
Speaker 15: Do you feel like now that the music has been
53:05
Speaker 15: out there and the conversations are happening, you're seeing the
53:08
Speaker 15: effect again on people that you see why God gave
53:11
Speaker 15: you more to say for this album?
53:12
Speaker 10: First of all, that's really kind of you.
53:14
Speaker 7: Wow.
53:15
Speaker 10: Y'all, y'all, y'all.
53:16
Speaker 11: First of all, you said you ain't had no more
53:18
Speaker 11: to say.
53:19
Speaker 6: You was going to stop talking.
53:20
Speaker 10: I'm trying to make sure I understand.
53:22
Speaker 8: Okay.
53:23
Speaker 15: So when we were talking, you said you feared that
53:27
Speaker 15: when you went to go make this, you feared that
53:29
Speaker 15: you didn't have anything more to say.
53:31
Speaker 10: Oh, okay.
53:33
Speaker 1: Basically, that's something that I would think as an author,
53:38
Speaker 1: you know, as creatives, sometimes you don't, sometimes you do
53:41
Speaker 1: have that trepidation of, do I have another one in me?
53:45
Speaker 2: Do I have, right, right, right.
53:46
Speaker 10: Like, right, right.
53:48
Speaker 1: You know, like, like you always have that fear of,
53:50
Speaker 1: you know, you know, like, well, God dropped something else,
53:53
Speaker 1: you know? And I have that every album, every album. I'm,
53:56
Speaker 1: you know, I have a little bit of timidity, a
53:58
Speaker 1: little bit of anxiety. It's like, you know, like if,
54:02
Speaker 1: If God give you a stomp or if God give
54:05
Speaker 1: you looking for you or whatever, it's.
54:07
Speaker 10: Like, okay, can God do that again?
54:10
Speaker 1: And then we all know this is a young man's sport.
54:14
Speaker 1: So the older you get, you begin to, especially as
54:16
Speaker 1: a man.
54:17
Speaker 11: You got young man energy though, Chris. Yes, you do.
54:19
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a young man sport, man.
54:21
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, the older you get, the
54:23
Speaker 5: more experience you get. So that actually does make you better.
54:26
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
54:26
Speaker 6: I think it's a young man sport when you're trying
54:29
Speaker 6: to be young.
54:29
Speaker 8: Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
54:30
Speaker 6: You know, but when you submit.
54:31
Speaker 5: Your will to your higher power, because God gave you
54:34
Speaker 5: all of this age and experience and wisdom for a reason,
54:36
Speaker 5: you can still create this amazing body of work you did.
54:38
Speaker 15: I don't even think about your age, honestly.
54:40
Speaker 11: At all.
54:41
Speaker 15: Like, your music is so timeless. It feels like it
54:43
Speaker 15: came out yesterday. All of it from the beginning. But
54:44
Speaker 15: even with this project, I didn't... And you're fun-sized.
54:47
Speaker 11: And it's, uh-uh.
54:49
Speaker 10: Can a man say that to another man?
54:51
Speaker 2: No, a man cannot say that to another man.
54:53
Speaker 6: Why a man can't? I am what I am.
54:54
Speaker 2: I can say that.
54:56
Speaker 15: I like what you did right there.
54:58
Speaker 4: I like that you're back to the album.
55:00
Speaker 10: I was going to give him a pause, but I just.
55:02
Speaker 8: A pause in the name of Jesus.
55:06
Speaker 5: What do you say to somebody who's been praying for years,
55:09
Speaker 5: going to therapy, doing everything they're supposed to do, and
55:12
Speaker 5: life still ain't getting better?
55:13
Speaker 1: Amazing question. Beautiful question. The first thing that I would
55:17
Speaker 1: say is, I don't know. Being a Christian does not
55:21
Speaker 1: guarantee that you're not going to get cancer. Being a
55:24
Speaker 1: Christian does not guarantee that somebody ain't going to die
55:26
Speaker 1: in a car wreck. Being a Christian don't mean that
55:28
Speaker 1: somebody won't be fatally, their life taken from them. Being
55:33
Speaker 1: a Christian don't give you a pass for a perfect life.
55:36
Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing that I want to be able
55:38
Speaker 1: to say. But what I don't know about why things
55:42
Speaker 1: keep happening to you doesn't cancel out what I do know.
55:45
Speaker 1: And what I do know, I would not be the
55:49
Speaker 1: Kirk I am today without the deepest waters of pain
55:54
Speaker 1: that I've lived in my life.
55:55
Speaker 10: I've heard my biological.
55:57
Speaker 1: Mama say she didn't want I heard her say she
55:59
Speaker 1: wanted an abortion, but the lady doctor wouldn't want me.
56:04
Speaker 1: I found that at 53 that the Negro that was
56:07
Speaker 1: my real daddy lived 10 minutes from me.
56:10
Speaker 10: Do you know how bad my life would have been
56:11
Speaker 10: if I would have had a man in my life?
56:13
Speaker 1: Do you know all the mistakes, all the failures I've made?
56:16
Speaker 1: So I don't know why God would be to me.
56:19
Speaker 10: That's mean.
56:19
Speaker 2: That's cruel.
56:20
Speaker 8: It's like.
56:22
Speaker 10: He lived 10 minutes from me all my life, and
56:25
Speaker 10: I didn't know him. He didn't know me. That's cruel
56:27
Speaker 10: to me. I don't know why, God, but I can
56:29
Speaker 10: tell you this.
56:30
Speaker 1: When I look back on my life now and see
56:33
Speaker 1: the painful moments in my life, I would not be
56:36
Speaker 1: this tender to God if I didn't have some of
56:39
Speaker 1: the deepest waters I had to swim through. Something happens
56:43
Speaker 1: when you go through the bottom. Because sometimes God will
56:46
Speaker 1: allow us to hit rock bottom to show us he's
56:49
Speaker 1: the rock everywhere.
56:50
Speaker 6: So how do you help somebody hold on to their faith?
56:54
Speaker 5: Especially if they suffering and sometimes you'll beat yourself up
56:58
Speaker 5: and be like, man, am I not believing enough?
57:00
Speaker 6: Am I not doing enough tithing offerings?
57:02
Speaker 8: Am I not praying hard enough?
57:04
Speaker 2: Yeah.
57:05
Speaker 1: And I think the reason why you got me weeping, man,
57:06
Speaker 1: is because I see people hurting right now.
57:09
Speaker 10: Some people hurting right now. Folk are hurting. Folk are hurting, bro.
57:13
Speaker 1: Folk trying to make, folk trying to get bread just
57:16
Speaker 1: for sandwiches, right? And it can look like God can
57:19
Speaker 1: be mean and silent. And, and I think that, that
57:26
Speaker 1: the reason why church is important, let's go back to church.
57:29
Speaker 1: The reason why church is important is that he said,
57:32
Speaker 1: what happens when people are losing their faith is because
57:35
Speaker 1: what church is supposed to be Charlemagne, when you lose
57:38
Speaker 1: in yours, I'm supposed to grab you and tell you
57:40
Speaker 1: to hold on to mine. That's what it's supposed to be.
57:44
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a fashion show. It wasn't
57:47
Speaker 1: supposed to be a place of judgment and criticism. It's
57:49
Speaker 1: that when you lose in your faith, I'm supposed to
57:52
Speaker 1: grab you and say, this week I got you.
57:54
Speaker 8: I'm calling you every day.
57:56
Speaker 1: I'm calling you every day because next week I'm going
57:59
Speaker 1: to need you to call me every day. Like that
58:03
Speaker 1: was the beginning of the church. It was called Ecclesia.
58:06
Speaker 1: The first century church, these people were outcasts. They were
58:10
Speaker 1: not the hitters. Like the Roman Empire was a pagan place.
58:14
Speaker 1: They didn't believe in a monotheistic idea. And so when
58:17
Speaker 1: you became a Christian in first century Christianity, it was
58:21
Speaker 1: you coming against.
58:22
Speaker 10: The Roman government.
58:23
Speaker 1: Like Nero was putting, he was lighting up people that
58:28
Speaker 1: were Christians and lighting them on fire, using them for streetlights.
58:32
Speaker 1: That's how horrible it was in first century Christianity. So
58:35
Speaker 1: there's this whole comfortable Western Christianity idea that we have now.
58:40
Speaker 10: That's how the church started.
58:41
Speaker 1: Jews were being killed for their faith. So when you're
58:44
Speaker 1: having a hard day, the church was supposed to be
58:47
Speaker 1: a place. I got you because tomorrow I need you
58:49
Speaker 1: to have me.
58:51
Speaker 15: That made me think about you, though, that what you
58:53
Speaker 15: just said, because your career has been so big, but
58:56
Speaker 15: I feel like you get outcasted. And I don't know.
58:58
Speaker 15: I know you said you got to people behind the scenes,
59:00
Speaker 15: but I don't really know who publicly is always like,
59:02
Speaker 15: but Kirk Franklin, I got you. Like we community-wise do it,
59:05
Speaker 15: but I feel like, I think as a community we
59:08
Speaker 15: do it, but I think that the conversation always lends
59:10
Speaker 15: to like what Kirk Franklin isn't doing versus like the
59:13
Speaker 15: amazing powerful impactful human soul that you always are and
59:17
Speaker 15: I don't know if the emotion that I'm feeling from
59:18
Speaker 15: you right now is that you feel like you're finally
59:20
Speaker 15: getting that like people are fighting back for you like
59:23
Speaker 15: you don't have to fight anymore Well, first of all.
59:26
Speaker 10: Thank you for that.
59:27
Speaker 1: I think really the emotion really also is because those
59:30
Speaker 1: questions I know are real questions. It's easy to get
59:33
Speaker 1: cute and come up in here and sit with y'all,
59:36
Speaker 1: but we all see what's happening up there.
59:38
Speaker 10: We all see what's happening up under this new regime here.
59:44
Speaker 1: With American Christianity in the house become so politicized and
59:49
Speaker 1: the weaponization of the other side, of these policies don't
59:53
Speaker 1: have anything to do with those that say they're Christians
59:55
Speaker 1: for black and brown poor people. And so when you
59:59
Speaker 1: see the place that we're in right now and you're
1:00:02
Speaker 1: trying your best to tell people about Jesus, dude, it
1:00:06
Speaker 1: can feel like you're selling Avon.
1:00:07
Speaker 10: It can feel like you're selling Amway. You know what
1:00:10
Speaker 10: I mean?
1:00:10
Speaker 1: It's like you're going door to door. It's like in 2026,
1:00:13
Speaker 1: you're still trying to get people to believe in this
1:00:15
Speaker 1: with all the foolishness going around. And it can bring
1:00:18
Speaker 1: tears to my eyes because I know how bad things
1:00:21
Speaker 1: are And I'm doing my best, gang. I'm doing my
1:00:25
Speaker 1: best to try to let people know that he's still real,
1:00:28
Speaker 1: he's still working in your favor, and he's still got you.
1:00:31
Speaker 6: I think you're doing a better job than the church.
1:00:34
Speaker 5: Because I think sometimes the church teaches people how to
1:00:37
Speaker 5: hide their pain better than it teaches them how to
1:00:39
Speaker 5: heal from it. And when I watch your interviews and
1:00:42
Speaker 5: I listen to, like, your podcast, what are the conversations?
1:00:45
Speaker 10: Dinner Kings.
1:00:46
Speaker 6: Dinner Kings.
1:00:47
Speaker 5: When I watch that, and, you know, I love the
1:00:49
Speaker 5: episode with Jay Barnett on there, but when I watch that,
1:00:52
Speaker 5: I'm just, I'm like, yo, Kirk is trying to teach
1:00:54
Speaker 5: people how to heal from their pain as opposed to
1:00:58
Speaker 5: hiding it.
1:01:00
Speaker 8: Thank you. Thank you.
1:01:02
Speaker 10: Love to you.
1:01:03
Speaker 2: Well, you want people to close out with a prayer, please,
1:01:04
Speaker 2: if you don't mind.
1:01:05
Speaker 8: Please do.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: Oh, man, okay, I got to hold him a little more. Man, Father,
1:01:09
Speaker 1: how amazing you are that you show up anywhere, anytime.
1:01:12
Speaker 1: And you don't wait for everything to look the way
1:01:14
Speaker 1: that we think it needs to look for you to
1:01:16
Speaker 1: be in the presence. Father, thank you for being a
1:01:19
Speaker 1: great saving God. Lord, to forgive us for all of
1:01:21
Speaker 1: our sins, our mess ups and still use us in
1:01:24
Speaker 1: spite of us. Lord, this is an incredible moment to
1:01:27
Speaker 1: just remind the world of the greatest love story ever told.
1:01:30
Speaker 1: For God so loved the world that he gave his
1:01:33
Speaker 1: only son. Whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but
1:01:36
Speaker 1: have everlasting life. And Father, we know that we will
1:01:40
Speaker 1: never reach perfection on this side, but every day we
1:01:43
Speaker 1: want to look more like you. I pray right now
1:01:45
Speaker 1: for those that are hurting, those that are discouraged, those
1:01:48
Speaker 1: that are afraid, those that are angry at you. Father,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: let them know, let them know that, Father, that there's
1:01:55
Speaker 1: not a place that you do not care about their
1:01:57
Speaker 1: pain and they can trust your heart when they don't
1:02:01
Speaker 1: understand what your hand is doing. And we believe that
1:02:04
Speaker 1: no matter how dark and difficult life can be, All
1:02:07
Speaker 1: things are working together for the good of them.
1:02:11
Speaker 10: They love you. In your name, Jesus, we praise you. Amen.
1:02:15
Speaker 6: Amen. Amen.
1:02:17
Speaker 8: There you have it.
1:02:17
Speaker 6: Thank you, brother.
1:02:18
Speaker 8: Thank you, brother.
1:02:19
Speaker 4: It's Kirk Franklin.
1:02:20
Speaker 2: It's The Breakfast Club.
1:02:21
Speaker 5: Good morning.
1:02:21
Speaker 4: Good morning, everybody.
1:02:22
Speaker 9: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
1:02:25
Speaker 9: The Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
1:02:27
Speaker 15: Lauren will be coming with straight back.
1:02:29
Speaker 3: Tell her.
1:02:29
Speaker 1: Tell her.
1:02:30
Speaker 4: All right, y'all.
1:02:31
Speaker 5: So I know we talked a bit about this this morning,
1:02:33
Speaker 5: but I wanted to come back to it.
1:02:35
Speaker 15: Javits Frampong, the 15-year-old boy.
1:02:58
Speaker 15: Who was shot and killed here in New York. He's
1:03:01
Speaker 15: from Ghana, had literally been here for a year when
1:03:04
Speaker 15: his life was taken and his dad believes that it
1:03:06
Speaker 15: was because of bullying that he was experiencing in school. Now,
1:03:09
Speaker 15: on the celebrity side of things, there are people that
1:03:11
Speaker 15: are speaking out about this and how horrible this is.
1:03:14
Speaker 15: Cardi B posted a video talking about raising her children
1:03:17
Speaker 15: in New York that caused some conversation. Let's take a
1:03:19
Speaker 15: listen to Cardi.
1:03:20
Speaker 23: What happened to Javits is the reason why I would
1:03:23
Speaker 23: never raise no kid in a New York public school.
1:03:26
Speaker 23: And I would never want to raise a kid in
1:03:28
Speaker 23: the hood in New York. Because let me tell you something.
1:03:30
Speaker 23: It's really a survival s * * t.
1:03:31
Speaker 4: People will always.
1:03:32
Speaker 23: Tell you as a kid, like, it's like, if you
1:03:33
Speaker 23: mind your business, nobody will f * * k with you.
1:03:35
Speaker 23: And that is a motherf * * king lie.
1:03:37
Speaker 4: Because I don't know what the f * * k.
1:03:39
Speaker 23: Is wrong with these kids in New York City. They
1:03:41
Speaker 23: are mean-ass f * * kers. These little mother kids
1:03:45
Speaker 23: in New York start bullying you, starting from the first grade, bitch.
1:03:49
Speaker 23: You could be an innocent kid, next thing you know,
1:03:51
Speaker 23: you constantly getting picked on. That make you want to
1:03:54
Speaker 23: join a gang so you can have your own group
1:03:56
Speaker 23: of people so people can start with you. Because that's
1:03:58
Speaker 23: practically what happens to me. And I'm seeing a lot
1:03:59
Speaker 23: of discourse like, well, Black Americans make fun of bullying
1:04:03
Speaker 23: so much that Africans are becoming.
1:04:05
Speaker 11: No, let me tell you something.
1:04:06
Speaker 23: Everybody be bullying the new kids that come from foreign countries.
1:04:10
Speaker 23: Everybody bullies them. Y'all need to start talking to your
1:04:13
Speaker 23: kids about bullying.
1:04:15
Speaker 8: She's right.
1:04:15
Speaker 2: She's a thousand percent.
1:04:17
Speaker 11: Everything she said.
1:04:17
Speaker 8: Right.
1:04:18
Speaker 9: And the sad thing about it is, like you said,
1:04:19
Speaker 9: even if you put your kid in Catholic school, right,
1:04:23
Speaker 9: you still get bullied the same way. So that same thing.
1:04:25
Speaker 9: I'm from Queens. My zone school was one of the worst.
1:04:27
Speaker 9: So my parents put me in Catholic school.
1:04:29
Speaker 3: Right.
1:04:29
Speaker 9: But the problem with going to Catholic school is the
1:04:31
Speaker 9: bus terminal is still the bus terminal.
1:04:33
Speaker 2: So the bus terminal was on Jamaica Avenue.
1:04:35
Speaker 9: So I'm still, that makes it worse because now I'm
1:04:38
Speaker 9: wearing Catholic school pants, Catholic school shirt with tie, going
1:04:42
Speaker 9: through Jamaica Avenue where the bus terminal is. Or if
1:04:44
Speaker 9: you live in Brooklyn, it's downtown Brooklyn or in the
1:04:47
Speaker 9: Bronx or wherever it is or wherever you are.
1:04:48
Speaker 15: No, you're still traveling with everybody.
1:04:52
Speaker 2: It actually makes it worse.
1:04:53
Speaker 15: So Michael Blackson had actually posted and he says that
1:04:56
Speaker 15: he actually plans now to start making more appearances at
1:04:58
Speaker 15: high schools to talk about foreign kids being bullied and
1:05:01
Speaker 15: to help those foreign kids acclimate and kind of get
1:05:04
Speaker 15: through and know how to talk about... and get help
1:05:06
Speaker 15: for the bullying he says that uh you know this
1:05:08
Speaker 15: situation reminded him of what he went through he got
1:05:10
Speaker 15: bullied a lot when he uh first moved to jersey
1:05:12
Speaker 15: before they moved to philly and a lot of it
1:05:14
Speaker 15: was because he had good grades and he said it
1:05:16
Speaker 15: was people literally he'd be on like you know transportation
1:05:18
Speaker 15: people not even from his school but he would be
1:05:20
Speaker 15: bullied um and a lot of it too was he
1:05:22
Speaker 15: was the only african person at his school so he
1:05:24
Speaker 15: plans to start giving back as well.
1:05:25
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah i think in these situations you need like
1:05:28
Speaker 5: stronger adult leadership right and you need Clear rules. Like,
1:05:33
Speaker 5: you know, and you need teachers that can intervene immediately
1:05:36
Speaker 5: when they witness bullying.
1:05:37
Speaker 7: All right?
1:05:38
Speaker 5: To send a clear message that that behavior is unacceptable.
1:05:41
Speaker 5: But to Envy's point, it can happen outside of school, too.
1:05:44
Speaker 5: But that's where strong adult leadership plays the part in
1:05:47
Speaker 5: the home.
1:05:47
Speaker 11: In the neighborhood.
1:05:48
Speaker 6: It's home and in the neighborhood. Like, it takes a
1:05:50
Speaker 6: village to keep these kids, you know, in order.
1:05:53
Speaker 15: Well, Fat Joe was out over the weekend. He's working
1:05:56
Speaker 15: with the food bank, giving back meals, which they do often.
1:05:59
Speaker 15: And he was talking about just some of the crazy
1:06:01
Speaker 15: things that are happening in New York and trying to
1:06:02
Speaker 15: be the person or one of the people in the community.
1:06:04
Speaker 11: Let's take a listen.
1:06:05
Speaker 8: A whole lot of sad s * * *.
1:06:06
Speaker 11: Going on.
1:06:07
Speaker 22: Bronx, they killed the 15-year-old kid who'd been here from
1:06:11
Speaker 22: Africa for one year. He did the right thing, reported them.
1:06:15
Speaker 22: They got suspended. They came back and killed them. They
1:06:18
Speaker 22: murdered him and brought daylight. It's not too much good
1:06:22
Speaker 22: things happening out here. We try to be a little
1:06:25
Speaker 22: light in the community. Shout out to the food bank
1:06:28
Speaker 22: for NYC. They're always here with me. They're always in
1:06:31
Speaker 22: the paint, trying to help the people. And While I'm here,
1:06:35
Speaker 22: we're going to try to keep the peace.
1:06:38
Speaker 5: And that's why, you know, one of the big things
1:06:39
Speaker 5: that I push for with my organization, the Mental Welfare Alliance,
1:06:42
Speaker 5: is to have social emotional learning in schools from kindergarten
1:06:45
Speaker 5: to 12th grade, right? Because you got to give kids,
1:06:48
Speaker 5: you know, alternative thinking strategies, right? Like, you got to
1:06:50
Speaker 5: teach these kids self-regulation. You got to teach them about empathy.
1:06:53
Speaker 5: You got to teach them how to build, you know,
1:06:55
Speaker 5: healthy relationships with each other.
1:06:56
Speaker 15: And it's so different for the kids now because they're
1:06:58
Speaker 15: experiencing social stuff differently. Like, my niece is so different
1:07:02
Speaker 15: for her, how she experiences her emotions. I can't even
1:07:05
Speaker 15: understand it. I'm only her aunt. I can't imagine how
1:07:08
Speaker 15: my brother and her mom are feeling trying to walk
1:07:10
Speaker 15: her through this. It was different for me as a kid.
1:07:12
Speaker 15: I had to be out and figuring things out.
1:07:14
Speaker 2: New York is so diverse.
1:07:16
Speaker 9: Growing up in Queens, the area I grew up in
1:07:19
Speaker 9: is Queens Village.
1:07:20
Speaker 2: They call it Shadyville. it was heavily Haitian, heavily Caribbean.
1:07:24
Speaker 9: So when kids used to be like HBO, you would
1:07:26
Speaker 9: get your ass beat by a bunch of Haitians and
1:07:29
Speaker 9: you would have to shut the F up. Like it
1:07:30
Speaker 9: clicked up so well. Like the Caribbean community clicked up.
1:07:33
Speaker 9: The Haitian community clicked up.
1:07:35
Speaker 5: I mean, it wasn't clicking up. They was depending on
1:07:36
Speaker 5: each other for survival.
1:07:37
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:07:38
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:07:38
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:07:40
Speaker 5: You call a bunch of Haitians HBO if you want
1:07:43
Speaker 5: to and see what happens.
1:07:43
Speaker 2: They would drag people.
1:07:45
Speaker 9: But you wouldn't mess with that part of Queens because
1:07:48
Speaker 9: you would know that certain areas and they had their
1:07:51
Speaker 9: back and they had cousins and they had brothers.
1:07:54
Speaker 2: But it's just so sad what happened to that young man.
1:07:56
Speaker 15: Well, at the time, the New York Police Department tells
1:07:59
Speaker 15: a bunch of the filers that no arrests have been
1:08:01
Speaker 15: made and the investigation is ongoing. So anybody with information
1:08:04
Speaker 15: is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. That's the
1:08:08
Speaker 15: latest with Lauren LaRosa. You guys get the latest from me,
1:08:10
Speaker 15: but you can also get the latest from Top Dog
1:08:11
Speaker 15: Law as well. Go to Top Dog Law and see
1:08:14
Speaker 15: how much your case may be worth at TopDogLaw.com.
1:08:17
Speaker 9: Like Charlamagne said, parents out there got to start parenting
1:08:19
Speaker 9: their kids. There's no way in hell that a 15-year-old
1:08:23
Speaker 9: should be gunned down. There's no way a 15-year-old should
1:08:26
Speaker 9: have a gun. A 16-year-old should have a gun.
1:08:28
Speaker 2: You should be... keeping your eyes on your kids, going
1:08:30
Speaker 2: through their bags, going through their phones. I still do
1:08:32
Speaker 2: it to this day. I go through my kids' phones.
1:08:34
Speaker 5: It's not enough strong adult leadership.
1:08:36
Speaker 2: I know my kids' passwords. I go through their drawers
1:08:38
Speaker 2: when they're not home. Like, you know, pull-out drawers.
1:08:40
Speaker 6: How you going through your.
1:08:41
Speaker 2: I had to explain that.
1:08:42
Speaker 11: I had to explain that.
1:08:44
Speaker 3: I know.
1:08:44
Speaker 2: But I go through their stuff.
1:08:46
Speaker 8: But I get it, though.
1:08:46
Speaker 6: He used to keep his deuce-deuce in his bookie.
1:08:49
Speaker 15: That was one of the stories he told?
1:08:51
Speaker 6: Yeah, he told that story. He put my deuce-deuce in
1:08:53
Speaker 6: my boot.
1:08:54
Speaker 15: Of all the places it could have went, you put
1:08:56
Speaker 15: your gun in your butt?
1:08:57
Speaker 2: My deuce-deuce was in my shoe. It had nothing to
1:08:59
Speaker 2: do with boot.
1:09:00
Speaker 15: I thought you told me one time you pulled it
1:09:02
Speaker 15: out your leather jacket when you was carrying the crates
1:09:04
Speaker 15: and then.
1:09:05
Speaker 2: No, I did not. It was in my Timberland. You
1:09:06
Speaker 2: used to put it in your Timberland.
1:09:08
Speaker 15: That was the latest, y'all. Maybe we bullying him, y'all.
1:09:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're bullying me.
1:09:15
Speaker 5: Before after the hour, well, now, okay, Haley Stevens... Congresswoman
1:09:20
Speaker 5: from Michigan needs to come to the front of the congregation.
1:09:22
Speaker 5: We're going to talk establishment self-preservation this morning, guys.
1:09:25
Speaker 2: All right. We'll get to that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
1:09:26
Speaker 2: Good morning.
1:09:28
Speaker 4: I was born a donkey.
1:09:29
Speaker 21: It's the donkey of the devil.
1:09:33
Speaker 15: Look at these donkeys.
1:09:35
Speaker 4: Donkeys.
1:09:35
Speaker 7: Donkeys.
1:09:37
Speaker 6: Donkeys.
1:09:37
Speaker 4: Donkeys.
1:09:39
Speaker 21: That's pretty funny.
1:09:40
Speaker 15: Charlamagne the devil?
1:09:42
Speaker 7: Possibly.
1:09:44
Speaker 2: The Breakfast Club.
1:09:46
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's donkey of the day for Monday, November 2nd.
1:09:48
Speaker 5: Goes to Congresswoman Haley Stevens of Michigan. And I want
1:09:51
Speaker 5: everybody to learn a phrase today. And that phrase is
1:09:54
Speaker 5: establishment self-preservation. Because I need y'all to understand that the
1:09:57
Speaker 5: biggest divide in American politics isn't always Democrat versus Republican.
1:10:01
Speaker 5: Quite often, the biggest divide in American politics is the
1:10:04
Speaker 5: Democrat political establishment versus.
1:10:07
Speaker 6: Anybody trying to change that establishment.
1:10:09
Speaker 5: Okay, and what happened in Michigan this weekend is a
1:10:11
Speaker 5: perfect example of that. And it's a perfect example of
1:10:14
Speaker 5: why folks don't trust politicians. It's an example of why
1:10:17
Speaker 5: people believe Democrats and Republicans are two wings on the
1:10:20
Speaker 5: same bird. OK, see, Haley Stevens ran for the Democratic
1:10:24
Speaker 5: nomination for United States Senate against progressive Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.
1:10:28
Speaker 5: She lost and Abdul won the primary by I think
1:10:32
Speaker 5: it was less than one percentage point or something like that. Now,
1:10:34
Speaker 5: you would think the story ends there. OK, you ran.
1:10:36
Speaker 5: The people voted. They chose somebody else. That's democracy. And
1:10:41
Speaker 5: at first, Haley Stevens accepted that. OK, she endorsed Dr.
1:10:44
Speaker 5: Abdul El-Sayed. But Sunday morning. OK, yesterday morning, two days
1:10:49
Speaker 5: before Election Day, Haley Stevens woke up and decided, you
1:10:52
Speaker 5: know what? Democrats might actually win this seat in Michigan
1:10:55
Speaker 5: and we can't have that. So let me endorse Republican
1:10:58
Speaker 5: Mike Rogers instead.
1:10:59
Speaker 4: The same Mike Rogers.
1:11:02
Speaker 5: She previously warned voters would help Donald Trump, Donald Trump
1:11:06
Speaker 5: advance his authoritarian agenda. Now, I don't know if you
1:11:09
Speaker 5: saw her on Anderson Cooper, but when Anderson asked her
1:11:12
Speaker 5: what changed, she didn't have much to say.
1:11:14
Speaker 6: Let's listen.
1:11:15
Speaker 9: And it's just an interesting change, and I think a
1:11:18
Speaker 9: lot of people are curious to try to understand it.
1:11:25
Speaker 12: Was that a question, Anderson?
1:11:27
Speaker 8: No, I wanted to.
1:11:27
Speaker 2: See if you wanted to fill in the silence, but
1:11:29
Speaker 2: you don't. Oh, look.
1:11:31
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:11:34
Speaker 2: Look.
1:11:37
Speaker 11: Michiganders are going to the ballot box.
1:11:44
Speaker 5: Haley Stevens, I don't care about your personal disagreements with Dr.
1:11:49
Speaker 6: Abdul.
1:11:50
Speaker 5: I don't care if they're over Israel. I don't care
1:11:52
Speaker 5: if it's his association with Assam Piker. The fact that
1:11:55
Speaker 5: you were told not to attend his campaign events. I
1:11:58
Speaker 5: don't care about none of that. OK, I don't care
1:12:01
Speaker 5: about any of those stated reasons that you gave for
1:12:05
Speaker 5: supporting Mike Rogers.
1:12:06
Speaker 6: OK, people can evaluate those for themselves.
1:12:09
Speaker 5: But me, Lenard McKelvey, Charlemagne Tha God, I got three
1:12:11
Speaker 5: questions that I know the answer to. I know the
1:12:13
Speaker 5: answer to every single one of them. I'm just asking them,
1:12:15
Speaker 5: you know, for S's and giggles this morning. OK, number one,
1:12:18
Speaker 5: what happens when the establishment doesn't like who the people choose?
1:12:22
Speaker 6: OK, see, everybody loves democracy when democracy goes their way.
1:12:25
Speaker 5: Everybody believes in the will of the people and to
1:12:27
Speaker 5: the people. exercise their will and choose somebody they don't like.
1:12:31
Speaker 5: And that's where the conversation about establishment self-preservation begins. It's
1:12:36
Speaker 5: not vote blue no matter who. It's vote blue unless
1:12:39
Speaker 5: AIPAC says not to. Okay, these politicians spend years building
1:12:43
Speaker 5: relationships with donors and lobbyists and organizations and party leaders,
1:12:48
Speaker 5: and those relationships can become part of their political identity.
1:12:52
Speaker 5: And then along comes a candidate like Dr. Abdul-Sayed challenging
1:12:56
Speaker 5: the direction of the party. And suddenly the question becomes
1:12:58
Speaker 5: whether those established relationships matter more than party unity.
1:13:03
Speaker 6: In the will of the actual people. Okay. My number
1:13:06
Speaker 6: two question.
1:13:07
Speaker 5: Is it really Democrats versus Republicans or is it establishment
1:13:10
Speaker 5: power versus people trying to change the system?
1:13:13
Speaker 4: I know the answer to that one too. Okay.
1:13:16
Speaker 6: I'm just asking answers this morning.
1:13:18
Speaker 10: All right.
1:13:18
Speaker 6: Because we know the truth. We keep acting like everybody
1:13:21
Speaker 6: with a D next to their name has the same priorities.
1:13:23
Speaker 6: They don't.
1:13:24
Speaker 5: OK, and sometimes the difference within a political party are
1:13:27
Speaker 5: so deep that the people involved find themselves closer to somebody.
1:13:31
Speaker 6: In the opposing party on certain issues.
1:13:34
Speaker 5: OK, Haley Stevens and Abdul El-Sayed have serious disagreements about
1:13:37
Speaker 5: things that I mentioned earlier. You know, Israel, American foreign policy.
1:13:41
Speaker 5: But Mike Rogers didn't suddenly become a Democrat. Nothing he's
1:13:45
Speaker 5: talking about changed. His political positions didn't magically change overnight.
1:13:49
Speaker 5: So how does Haley Stevens reconcile supporting him with the
1:13:52
Speaker 5: policies she spent years advocating? And I want to be clear,
1:13:56
Speaker 5: not every establishment Democrat has turned against Dr.
1:14:00
Speaker 6: Abdul, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi.
1:14:02
Speaker 5: A lot of Democratic leaders have condemned Stephen's endorsement and
1:14:06
Speaker 5: continue to back Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, which tells you something else.
1:14:09
Speaker 5: Even the establishment isn't united about where the line should
1:14:13
Speaker 5: be drawn. But we also know in the Democratic Party,
1:14:16
Speaker 5: somebody has to be the bad guy to appease the
1:14:18
Speaker 5: corporate donor class. OK, if the corporate donor class thinks
1:14:21
Speaker 5: that all Democrats are becoming progressive and becoming the next
1:14:24
Speaker 5: Zoran or Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, trust and believe they will
1:14:27
Speaker 5: stop giving up those corporate dollars. OK, now my number
1:14:30
Speaker 5: three question. I already know the answer to. Isn't this
1:14:34
Speaker 5: the kind of thing that makes people distrust politicians? The
1:14:37
Speaker 5: answer is yes. Hell yes, it is.
1:14:39
Speaker 6: Okay. Think about what voters are being asked to believe.
1:14:43
Speaker 5: Every election, politicians tell us how consequential the election is.
1:14:47
Speaker 5: They tell us what's at stake. They warn us about
1:14:49
Speaker 5: the policies. The other party will advance if it wins.
1:14:52
Speaker 6: Then suddenly.
1:14:54
Speaker 5: A disagreement within their own party becomes so serious that
1:14:57
Speaker 5: they're willing to support the very candidate they previously warned
1:15:00
Speaker 5: us about. That don't make no damn sense, okay? Now,
1:15:03
Speaker 5: crossing party lines isn't automatically wrong. There are circumstances where
1:15:06
Speaker 5: people genuinely believe the principles require them to do that.
1:15:09
Speaker 6: But if that's your decision... you gotta explain it, okay?
1:15:12
Speaker 5: And when Anderson Cooper asked you a straightforward question about
1:15:15
Speaker 5: what changed, that's.
1:15:16
Speaker 6: Your opportunity to make your case. You had nothing to say, okay?
1:15:20
Speaker 5: And I don't care about how somebody hurt your feelings
1:15:23
Speaker 5: or excluded you from a campaign event, okay? I need
1:15:25
Speaker 5: you to explain the policy differences, explain the principles, explain
1:15:29
Speaker 5: why your previous warnings no longer apply, because here's what
1:15:32
Speaker 5: bothers people about politics. They hear politicians talk about principles,
1:15:37
Speaker 5: but sometimes those principles seem to change depending on who's winning,
1:15:41
Speaker 5: who's losing, and who's being included. And that's why I
1:15:44
Speaker 5: keep coming back to establishment self-preservation. Is the priority serving
1:15:50
Speaker 5: the people? Defending a principle? Protecting political relationships are maintaining
1:15:54
Speaker 5: influence because all of those are different things. OK, and
1:15:57
Speaker 5: we should be able to ask those questions without somebody
1:16:00
Speaker 5: automatically turning the conversation into Democrats versus Republicans, because the
1:16:03
Speaker 5: political system is supposed to serve the people. OK, the
1:16:08
Speaker 5: people aren't supposed to exist to protect the political system.
1:16:11
Speaker 5: So I want to leave Haley Stevens with one question.
1:16:13
Speaker 5: When you say you still believe in everything you stood for.
1:16:16
Speaker 6: As a Democrat.
1:16:18
Speaker 5: What specifically makes Mike Rogers the person who can best
1:16:21
Speaker 5: represent those beliefs?
1:16:23
Speaker 6: You ain't got no answer for that.
1:16:24
Speaker 5: OK, if you believe Republican control of the Senate threatens
1:16:29
Speaker 5: policies that you support, why does your disagreement with one
1:16:32
Speaker 5: Democratic candidate outweigh those consequences?
1:16:36
Speaker 6: I'll tell you why.
1:16:37
Speaker 5: Because this is what happens when politicians become more loyal
1:16:40
Speaker 5: to the political establishment than the people they're supposed to represent.
1:16:44
Speaker 5: The people are the ones who give politicians power. But
1:16:47
Speaker 5: the establishment is often where they build their careers. That's
1:16:50
Speaker 5: where they raise their money. That's where they develop their relationships.
1:16:53
Speaker 5: That's where they secure their futures. And that's the problem. OK,
1:16:57
Speaker 5: the people can give you power, but the establishment can
1:17:00
Speaker 5: help you keep it. So when the will of the
1:17:02
Speaker 5: people conflicts with the interests of the establishment, you see
1:17:06
Speaker 5: who people like Haley Stevens choose to protect. Please let
1:17:09
Speaker 5: Remy Ma give Haley Stevens the biggest hee-haw.
1:17:12
Speaker 2: Hee-haw, hee-haw.
1:17:14
Speaker 15: You stupid motherfucker.
1:17:16
Speaker 6: You dumb.
1:17:17
Speaker 5: Establishment, self-preservation. That's what you are witnessing here today, kids.
1:17:24
Speaker 8: All right.
1:17:24
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that donkey today. Now, when we
1:17:27
Speaker 2: come back.
1:17:27
Speaker 11: I'm sorry. It was so quiet. She had nothing to say.
1:17:31
Speaker 6: Because there's nothing to say.
1:17:33
Speaker 5: This is all about establishment, self-preservation. Ask her that, I
1:17:36
Speaker 5: bet you she'll answer. You might slip up and tell
1:17:39
Speaker 5: the truth.
1:17:40
Speaker 9: Now, when we come back, we have the Democratic nominee
1:17:42
Speaker 9: running for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi, Scott Collum.
1:17:45
Speaker 2: Did I say that right?
1:17:46
Speaker 11: Collum, yep.
1:17:46
Speaker 2: Scott Collum. When we come back, it's The Breakfast Club.
1:17:48
Speaker 8: Good morning.
1:17:49
Speaker 4: Morning, everybody.
1:17:50
Speaker 9: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
1:17:53
Speaker 2: We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest
1:17:55
Speaker 2: in the building.
1:17:56
Speaker 6: Yes, indeed.
1:17:56
Speaker 4: We got the brother, as Donald Trump would.
1:17:58
Speaker 15: Say, Scott Collum. That is my name.
1:18:01
Speaker 4: Scott Collum.
1:18:01
Speaker 8: Welcome, brother.
1:18:02
Speaker 7: How you feeling?
1:18:02
Speaker 8: I'm honored. Mississippi.
1:18:04
Speaker 2: That's right.
1:18:04
Speaker 4: We made it.
1:18:05
Speaker 8: We did it.
1:18:05
Speaker 5: Crooked letter, crooked letter, crooked letter, crooked letter, crooked letter,
1:18:08
Speaker 5: crooked letter, crooked letter.
1:18:10
Speaker 15: Mississippi pride.
1:18:11
Speaker 8: The people did it. They didn't believe in us.
1:18:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:18:14
Speaker 8: We're at the breakfast club. That's right. We're going to
1:18:16
Speaker 8: make history, November 3rd.
1:18:17
Speaker 5: Well, you know, Mississippi hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S.
1:18:19
Speaker 5: Senate since what, 82?
1:18:21
Speaker 8: I was born in 82.
1:18:22
Speaker 6: You see what I'm saying?
1:18:24
Speaker 5: And no black candidate has won statewide since Reconstruction.
1:18:27
Speaker 18: Yeah.
1:18:28
Speaker 5: So what do you think people outside of Mississippi misunderstand
1:18:31
Speaker 5: about the state in this boldest way?
1:18:33
Speaker 21: Well, one, the Democratic Party hasn't been tried, Charlemagne. I mean,
1:18:37
Speaker 21: we got the highest African-American population, 38% of the population.
1:18:40
Speaker 21: You were just in Jackson. You saw the vibes. You know,
1:18:43
Speaker 21: we got a lot of white Democrats that get ignored.
1:18:46
Speaker 21: And for so long, we've ridden off the South, and
1:18:48
Speaker 21: Mississippi in particular, and that's hurt the country. I don't
1:18:51
Speaker 21: understand why people don't realize Mississippi and the South is
1:18:54
Speaker 21: the epicenter or the direction of our country. When we
1:18:57
Speaker 21: take care of people in Mississippi, we make sure they
1:18:59
Speaker 21: have good education, good jobs, good opportunity. The country does well.
1:19:04
Speaker 21: When we ignore Mississippi and we let people like our
1:19:06
Speaker 21: junior senator, I call her Cindy High Prices because that's
1:19:08
Speaker 21: all we get from her.
1:19:09
Speaker 8: When you let her betray the people of Mississippi... You let.
1:19:12
Speaker 21: Her take away health care, take away jobs, take away education.
1:19:15
Speaker 21: That's a poor reflection on the country. And so what's
1:19:18
Speaker 21: great about this campaign is I did over 60 town halls.
1:19:22
Speaker 21: Our junior center hasn't done one. Not one town hall
1:19:24
Speaker 21: in six years. I did 60 in a year. And
1:19:26
Speaker 21: the people of Mississippi got behind me. I went to
1:19:28
Speaker 21: the music festivals. I went to the housing projects. I
1:19:30
Speaker 21: got a food truck. Went to the college campuses. We
1:19:33
Speaker 21: built a different type of campaign because I understand you
1:19:36
Speaker 21: got to make sure the voters trust you.
1:19:37
Speaker 8: That's how you get them excited. And that's why we're
1:19:39
Speaker 8: going to win.
1:19:40
Speaker 9: What is the most important thing for, I would say,
1:19:43
Speaker 9: the residents of Mississippi? When I was out there, the
1:19:44
Speaker 9: biggest thing they just said was they were saying gas
1:19:46
Speaker 9: was too expensive. They were saying food prices were too expensive.
1:19:49
Speaker 2: Money, baby. Because living is just super duper expensive.
1:19:52
Speaker 9: I know we had an Uber driver out there, and
1:19:54
Speaker 9: traffic was a little crazy because it was the game.
1:19:57
Speaker 9: And we had a long conversation, and she was just like,
1:19:59
Speaker 9: she feels like, there's more resources need to be put
1:20:02
Speaker 9: back into Mississippi because people feel like they were missing that.
1:20:05
Speaker 8: A hundred percent.
1:20:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:20:06
Speaker 21: I mean, she's the number one corporate. I mean, the
1:20:10
Speaker 21: other thing we got to understand is why we're going
1:20:12
Speaker 21: to win. Charlemagne is Americans, which were promised America first.
1:20:15
Speaker 7: That's right.
1:20:16
Speaker 21: Like there's Mississippians who believe that the president was going
1:20:18
Speaker 21: to lower prices on day one. Well, he did the
1:20:20
Speaker 21: exact opposite. He increased taxes on day one. He got
1:20:22
Speaker 21: everything more expensive. There's Mississippians who believe that he was
1:20:26
Speaker 21: going to stop us from getting the endless wars. He
1:20:28
Speaker 21: said Vice President Harris was going to start a war. Well,
1:20:31
Speaker 21: we're back at war. We're not in this state.
1:20:33
Speaker 8: That's right.
1:20:33
Speaker 21: You know, and people are paying more at the gas station.
1:20:36
Speaker 21: Diesel's through the roof. Truckers, farmers are struggling. We'll promise
1:20:40
Speaker 21: to release it after they found it. It's been protecting pedophiles,
1:20:46
Speaker 21: not protecting victims. And so, you know, what I said,
1:20:48
Speaker 21: I went to the Trump rally. You know, he came
1:20:51
Speaker 21: to Mississippi on Monday. The people of Mississippi got in there,
1:20:53
Speaker 21: not Cindy Highsmith, because she's scared. And I did a
1:20:57
Speaker 21: press conference in Corinth, Mississippi, and then I went and
1:20:59
Speaker 21: walked the Trump rally, talking to the Trump voters. They
1:21:03
Speaker 21: were saying the same thing the voters in Jackson were saying.
1:21:05
Speaker 21: Gas too expensive. They feel like the country's being sold
1:21:09
Speaker 21: out by AIPAC and other corporate donors and PACs.
1:21:11
Speaker 8: And, you know, one of them wanted to take a
1:21:14
Speaker 8: selfie with me.
1:21:15
Speaker 18: Wow.
1:21:15
Speaker 21: You know, they're not falling for the lies this time. And,
1:21:17
Speaker 21: you know, Mississippi, it's a great state with a lot
1:21:20
Speaker 21: of potential, and they just need a fighter on the
1:21:22
Speaker 21: issues that matter.
1:21:23
Speaker 5: I know Cindy Hyde-Smith, you were nominated to be a
1:21:25
Speaker 5: federal judge by President Biden, right?
1:21:27
Speaker 3: Yep.
1:21:27
Speaker 5: And then Cindy Hyde-Smith blocked your nomination, now you're running
1:21:30
Speaker 5: against her for Senate.
1:21:32
Speaker 21: Yeah, and it's not personal. Honestly, I'm a Christian. You know,
1:21:35
Speaker 21: I forgive people. I'm a district attorney. I have to
1:21:37
Speaker 21: prosecute people that have taken somebody's life. And I've seen
1:21:40
Speaker 21: the mother... of, you know, who's lost her child to
1:21:45
Speaker 21: gun violence, forgive the person that took her. So for me,
1:21:47
Speaker 21: it's easy to forgive her. But, you know, that experience
1:21:50
Speaker 21: was interesting because I'm a guy elected district attorney when
1:21:54
Speaker 21: I was 32 years old, represent a district that they
1:21:56
Speaker 21: said I had no chance to win, running on, being
1:21:59
Speaker 21: smart on crime. I was able to get the senior
1:22:01
Speaker 21: Republican senator to support me, Roger Wicker. And I got
1:22:04
Speaker 21: the senior Democratic congressman, Benny Thompson. That's hard to do, y'all.
1:22:09
Speaker 21: And then it didn't matter how much local support I
1:22:11
Speaker 21: had in support of my nomination. She blocked me because
1:22:14
Speaker 21: basically politics. But what's important for the listeners to know
1:22:17
Speaker 21: is there were two other black gentlemen that were nominated.
1:22:20
Speaker 21: I'm the only one that gets talked about, but there
1:22:22
Speaker 21: was two black guys who were nominated to be marshals.
1:22:24
Speaker 21: They had excellent credentials, great guys, perfect examples of what's
1:22:28
Speaker 21: best for Mississippi. She blocked them, too.
1:22:30
Speaker 8: Wow, wow, wow, wow.
1:22:31
Speaker 21: I mean, you know, so it's shameful what she's doing
1:22:33
Speaker 21: to the people of Mississippi. And we deserve better.
1:22:37
Speaker 5: You said it's not personal, but how much did that
1:22:39
Speaker 5: experience influence your decision to run?
1:22:41
Speaker 6: Like, I'm going to get at her since she won't
1:22:43
Speaker 6: block me.
1:22:44
Speaker 8: Well, obviously, if I was a federal judge, I wasn't
1:22:45
Speaker 8: going to resign from the bench to run and get there. But,
1:22:48
Speaker 8: you know, it was.
1:22:50
Speaker 21: You know, it's hard for that to be the prime
1:22:53
Speaker 21: motivation because You know, she voted to take health insurance
1:22:57
Speaker 21: from 200,000 Mississippians. Just this year, our Republican Insurance Commissioner,
1:23:01
Speaker 21: he admitted that when she voted for the federal support
1:23:03
Speaker 21: of Obamacare to go away, she took health insurance from
1:23:05
Speaker 21: 200,000 of her own constituents. Next year, because of the
1:23:09
Speaker 21: Big Beautiful Betrayal, another 100,000 are going to lose health insurance.
1:23:12
Speaker 21: We're going to have eight rural hospitals at risk of closing.
1:23:15
Speaker 21: That's the greatest betrayal that you could get from somebody
1:23:18
Speaker 21: who's supposed to represent the people.
1:23:20
Speaker 6: I love Big Beautiful Betrayal. It is.
1:23:21
Speaker 8: That's what it is. He betrayed his own voters. His
1:23:24
Speaker 8: own voters.
1:23:24
Speaker 2: Word up.
1:23:25
Speaker 21: I mean, there's working class Mississippians that thought President Trump
1:23:28
Speaker 21: was going.
1:23:29
Speaker 10: To look out for them.
1:23:30
Speaker 8: He betrayed them.
1:23:31
Speaker 15: And I read it's hitting y'all really, really hard there
1:23:32
Speaker 15: because of the income level in Mississippi. And it's so rural.
1:23:36
Speaker 15: They feel it so heavily.
1:23:37
Speaker 4: 100%.
1:23:37
Speaker 21: And that's why we got all the momentum in the world.
1:23:42
Speaker 21: I had Vice President Harris down in my hometown at
1:23:45
Speaker 21: an awesome rally.
1:23:46
Speaker 8: People were very excited. I had people to judge down yesterday.
1:23:49
Speaker 8: He told me to tell you what up.
1:23:51
Speaker 10: Pete Buttigieg.
1:23:52
Speaker 6: Oh, yes, Luther P.
1:23:53
Speaker 4: Luther P.
1:23:53
Speaker 6: And the VP. They're my people.
1:23:54
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
1:23:55
Speaker 21: And we're excited. Mississippi was never a lost cause, y'all.
1:23:58
Speaker 21: It was always a betrayed cause. I mean, we always
1:24:01
Speaker 21: had the potential to win Mississippi. I just was able
1:24:03
Speaker 21: to convince the people of Mississippi through hard work, through
1:24:06
Speaker 21: showing up. through letting their inspiration inspire me that we
1:24:12
Speaker 21: could do it and then all of a sudden people
1:24:14
Speaker 21: start paying attention to it.
1:24:16
Speaker 15: So the voters have this fatigue and they feel betrayed
1:24:19
Speaker 15: by Donald Trump, right? So there's a lot of expectations.
1:24:21
Speaker 15: People think that you can break this red wall. The first...
1:24:25
Speaker 15: Six months on the job, what's the biggest thing that
1:24:27
Speaker 15: you focus on? Because everybody has things that they need.
1:24:29
Speaker 15: It's like life or death for a lot of people
1:24:31
Speaker 15: right now.
1:24:31
Speaker 21: I mean, we've got to get costs down. The first
1:24:32
Speaker 21: thing I'm going to do is we're going to get
1:24:34
Speaker 21: the tariff policy back to Congress. Because the way the
1:24:36
Speaker 21: president is using tariffs are terrible for everybody. He just
1:24:40
Speaker 21: gets mad at the Prime Minister of Canada. Well, I'm
1:24:42
Speaker 21: going to do 45% tariff. That's not how business works.
1:24:46
Speaker 21: You've got to make sure that tariffs are low so
1:24:49
Speaker 21: people can have.
1:24:50
Speaker 8: Lower goods.
1:24:52
Speaker 21: If you're going to have tariffs, they have to be
1:24:54
Speaker 21: done in a way where business can prepare for it,
1:24:56
Speaker 21: where consumers can be looked out for.
1:24:59
Speaker 8: And he's also hurting farmers.
1:25:00
Speaker 21: So the first thing we're going to do, and we've
1:25:01
Speaker 21: had some senators that are Republicans that have voted to
1:25:04
Speaker 21: get the tariff policy back to Congress, like Senator Rand Paul.
1:25:07
Speaker 21: So I would join him and others to get the
1:25:09
Speaker 21: power back and then fight for lower tariffs. The second
1:25:11
Speaker 21: thing we've got to do is we've got to get
1:25:13
Speaker 21: out of war in Iran. He promised no more endless wars.
1:25:17
Speaker 21: We're back at another endless war. We've heard this story before.
1:25:20
Speaker 21: I came of age watching The Breakfast Club, that's why
1:25:22
Speaker 21: it's such an honor to be here, and the Iraq War.
1:25:25
Speaker 8: And I lived through that disaster. and what it did
1:25:27
Speaker 8: to form- Which one was a disaster?
1:25:29
Speaker 5: Breakfast Club or Iraq?
1:25:35
Speaker 21: Definitely the Iraq war turned out a lot worse for
1:25:37
Speaker 21: the country than the Breakfast Club. This has been an
1:25:39
Speaker 21: institution and kudos to y'all to keep this going for
1:25:42
Speaker 21: so long.
1:25:43
Speaker 8: I mean, it's really hard to do this.
1:25:44
Speaker 6: I want to ask you about Nolan Wells, man.
1:25:46
Speaker 5: When you look at the Nolan Wells case, as a
1:25:49
Speaker 5: black man from Mississippi, as a prosecutor, what concerns you
1:25:51
Speaker 5: about how that investigation was handled?
1:25:53
Speaker 8: Well, the first thing that concerns me is the breakdown
1:25:56
Speaker 8: of trust.
1:25:57
Speaker 21: You know, like right away, the Nola Wells family didn't
1:25:59
Speaker 21: trust law enforcement because of how the investigation was done.
1:26:02
Speaker 21: They felt like it was a jump to conclusion and
1:26:05
Speaker 21: it wasn't a lot of transparency. And man, the people
1:26:08
Speaker 21: that investigated, they dropped the ball because that was, that,
1:26:11
Speaker 21: that caused hell for them. They got a bunch of
1:26:13
Speaker 21: hell as a result of that. And you know, we
1:26:15
Speaker 21: still don't really have answers as to what happened. Terrible tragedies.
1:26:19
Speaker 21: You know, just my heart goes out to the family. Unfortunately,
1:26:21
Speaker 21: I've had to counsel so many families through difficult situations.
1:26:24
Speaker 21: It's a, It's the hardest thing to do as district
1:26:26
Speaker 21: attorney is to talk to a mom who's lost her
1:26:28
Speaker 21: child to gun violence and talk to a mom who
1:26:30
Speaker 21: doesn't have answers to what happened to her son. He
1:26:33
Speaker 21: seemed like a beautiful kid, had a wonderful smile. People
1:26:36
Speaker 21: say great stuff about him. The district attorney, you know,
1:26:38
Speaker 21: I think what I call for is in six months
1:26:41
Speaker 21: she can release the investigative file.
1:26:43
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
1:26:44
Speaker 21: And I would ask her to do that because until
1:26:47
Speaker 21: you have transparency as to what the evidence actually is,
1:26:51
Speaker 21: the unanswered questions are not only going to cause pain
1:26:54
Speaker 21: for the Nolan Wells family, but it's also going to
1:26:56
Speaker 21: cause distrust for you with law enforcement. Because the dirty
1:26:59
Speaker 21: little secret in law enforcement, if the people don't trust
1:27:01
Speaker 21: the police, if they don't trust the system, it breaks down.
1:27:04
Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
1:27:05
Speaker 21: You don't get witnesses. You can't get indictments. Look, President Trump,
1:27:08
Speaker 21: he can't get an indictment. He tried to indict this lady.
1:27:09
Speaker 21: He couldn't get an indictment. The grand jury wouldn't indict.
1:27:12
Speaker 4: Right.
1:27:12
Speaker 21: You can't get convictions. And so you've got to have trust.
1:27:15
Speaker 21: That's why I'm so proud that, you know, I got
1:27:17
Speaker 21: 94 percent conviction rate. I tried 35 jury trials. Only
1:27:20
Speaker 21: lost one because people trust me. And that's the ultimate
1:27:23
Speaker 21: sign of trust is when they find somebody guilty because
1:27:25
Speaker 21: they say what you're saying makes sense. You presented the
1:27:28
Speaker 21: evidence in a compelling way. You're looking out for keeping
1:27:31
Speaker 21: our community safe and our courtroom fair. So, you know,
1:27:33
Speaker 21: they got to be transparent.
1:27:34
Speaker 5: I'm just going back to the case of Nolan Wells.
1:27:38
Speaker 5: The reason I think there should have been some type
1:27:41
Speaker 5: of indictment or arrest made, because to me, the evidence
1:27:45
Speaker 5: is that there is a dead human being.
1:27:48
Speaker 11: Right.
1:27:48
Speaker 5: And also the medical examiner couldn't determine. what the cause
1:27:52
Speaker 5: of death was. So watching people go through whatever that
1:27:55
Speaker 5: due process is would put all the evidence on the
1:27:58
Speaker 5: table and give people, not just the family, the closure
1:28:02
Speaker 5: they need, but it would make people have a lot
1:28:03
Speaker 5: more trust in the system.
1:28:04
Speaker 6: Because there's no trust in the system right now when
1:28:07
Speaker 6: nobody gets indicted and you don't even know how he died.
1:28:09
Speaker 6: I don't know what y'all got going on in Mississippi.
1:28:11
Speaker 6: Y'all need to make Mississippi burn apart too.
1:28:13
Speaker 8: Well, listen, I would say we've made a lot of
1:28:15
Speaker 8: progress now, Charlamagne. Don't do that.
1:28:16
Speaker 21: We've made a lot of progress. This is one situation.
1:28:18
Speaker 21: It's an awful situation. But, you know, you also, you
1:28:21
Speaker 21: do have to have evidence to prove something. The absolute
1:28:24
Speaker 21: evidence is not enough to indict somebody.
1:28:26
Speaker 6: The dead body not enough, though?
1:28:27
Speaker 21: I mean, unfortunately, we don't know how he died, right?
1:28:30
Speaker 21: We don't know who caused it, what were the circumstances.
1:28:32
Speaker 21: I'm not saying that there isn't evidence. I'm just saying
1:28:35
Speaker 21: we don't know what that evidence is. And the absence
1:28:37
Speaker 21: of evidence is not enough to indict somebody.
1:28:39
Speaker 5: I guess my thing is, how do you close an
1:28:41
Speaker 5: investigation if a cause of death has been undetermined?
1:28:45
Speaker 6: An investigation should not be closed.
1:28:47
Speaker 21: Yeah, well, and I think that that's a fair question.
1:28:51
Speaker 21: You know, I think that we've got to make sure
1:28:53
Speaker 21: we get the evidence. I mean, we've got to have transparency.
1:28:56
Speaker 21: I mean, I still don't know how he died myself.
1:29:00
Speaker 21: I mean, there's no evidence of who was there, who
1:29:01
Speaker 21: saw it. I mean, there's the grand jury report gives
1:29:04
Speaker 21: you some information, but we need to know exactly what happened.
1:29:07
Speaker 21: And obviously the Nolan well family doesn't trust it because
1:29:09
Speaker 21: they lower it up. And we may find out some
1:29:11
Speaker 21: stuff from the civil litigation. But, you know, I do
1:29:15
Speaker 21: understand that you do have to have due process. You've
1:29:18
Speaker 21: got to protect people's rights. You've got to do it
1:29:19
Speaker 21: the right way. And, you know, the absence of evidence
1:29:23
Speaker 21: is not evidence.
1:29:24
Speaker 6: I heard you call.
1:29:24
Speaker 5: You want the autopsy report to be released, and you
1:29:26
Speaker 5: just said the investigative file.
1:29:28
Speaker 6: What do you think the public needs to see?
1:29:30
Speaker 8: Well, they need to know exactly. The first thing is,
1:29:32
Speaker 8: was anybody there when... when the death happened, right?
1:29:36
Speaker 21: Because right now, we don't have any firsthand accounts of
1:29:39
Speaker 21: exactly what happened, whether, you know, it was an accident.
1:29:43
Speaker 8: It's not clear, right? I'm sure there's got to be
1:29:45
Speaker 8: some witnesses that saw what happened.
1:29:47
Speaker 6: He came back with his phone.
1:29:49
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah.
1:29:49
Speaker 2: Right.
1:29:50
Speaker 21: It's not clear they were with him at the time
1:29:52
Speaker 21: he died, the people that had his phone. I mean,
1:29:54
Speaker 21: there's a lot of rumors about that.
1:29:57
Speaker 2: Well, should we have those answers, though? Like, was he
1:29:59
Speaker 2: with them?
1:30:00
Speaker 9: Even like we've seen the video of the guy cleaning
1:30:02
Speaker 9: the boat after. Like, I just feel like there's so
1:30:04
Speaker 9: many unanswered questions.
1:30:05
Speaker 15: After midnight, that was like supposedly that was like one,
1:30:08
Speaker 15: two o'clock.
1:30:09
Speaker 11: In the morning.
1:30:10
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:30:10
Speaker 21: I mean, the best way to get to the truth
1:30:12
Speaker 21: is to have the investigative file released. where we can
1:30:15
Speaker 21: actually get what evidence was told to the police. Because,
1:30:19
Speaker 21: you know, you say stuff online, that's not sworn statements.
1:30:22
Speaker 21: You got to actually have, you know, people giving a
1:30:25
Speaker 21: statement to the police as to what occurred. So hopefully
1:30:28
Speaker 21: we'll get that, and that's going to tell us a lot.
1:30:31
Speaker 21: Without that, you're right, we do have some big trust
1:30:32
Speaker 21: issues that are going to be hard to rebuild.
1:30:34
Speaker 5: And I know you said Mississippi has gotten better, which
1:30:36
Speaker 5: they have, but they do have a painful history of
1:30:38
Speaker 5: black families struggling to get answers when their loved ones die.
1:30:41
Speaker 21: Especially under suspicious, unclear circumstances. That's why I called at
1:30:45
Speaker 21: the very beginning. I knew it was going to be
1:30:47
Speaker 21: a lot of distrust. I knew it was going to
1:30:49
Speaker 21: have to be really handled carefully. And, you know, you
1:30:53
Speaker 21: can't jump to conclusions because people were going to be suspicious.
1:30:57
Speaker 21: And also we've had some other situations the last year
1:31:00
Speaker 21: and a half that are very suspicious.
1:31:01
Speaker 8: They got people really concerned.
1:31:04
Speaker 21: But, you know, unfortunately, there was a breakdown of trust somewhere.
1:31:08
Speaker 21: I don't know exactly what happened. I know in my situation,
1:31:11
Speaker 21: I really do a lot to make sure victims understand.
1:31:14
Speaker 21: I care about them. I'm going to be transparent. You know,
1:31:16
Speaker 21: I do tree planting for victims when they lose their
1:31:18
Speaker 21: loved one. We do grief counseling for victims, survivors of
1:31:22
Speaker 21: gun violence. So, you know, you got to make sure
1:31:24
Speaker 21: you're looking out for those people. And the important thing
1:31:27
Speaker 21: is that we come together. It was because there was
1:31:29
Speaker 21: a lot of people that knew Nolan Wells, both black, white,
1:31:33
Speaker 21: in between, that were supportive of justice. And so that's progress.
1:31:37
Speaker 21: I mean, there was a time where it would become,
1:31:39
Speaker 21: you know, in the 60s, it didn't matter what the
1:31:41
Speaker 21: evidence was.
1:31:42
Speaker 8: Not guilty.
1:31:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, I care about the system more than I care
1:31:46
Speaker 6: about the court of public opinion.
1:31:47
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:31:49
Speaker 5: Three measurable improvements you believe a U.S. Senator Should be
1:31:53
Speaker 5: held accountable for delivering over six years.
1:31:56
Speaker 21: Yeah, absolutely. The first one, we've got to raise the
1:31:58
Speaker 21: minimum wage. That's a simple one. I don't know why
1:31:59
Speaker 21: we haven't done it. It's crazy.
1:32:02
Speaker 15: $ 7.
1:32:02
Speaker 17: 25.
1:32:02
Speaker 21: We still have that in Mississippi because we go with
1:32:04
Speaker 21: the federal minimum wage. Second, we've got to lower costs.
1:32:06
Speaker 21: We've got to make sure healthcare costs are down. We've
1:32:09
Speaker 21: got to make sure it's affordable and accessible. We've got
1:32:11
Speaker 21: to get the subsidies back for people that get insurance
1:32:13
Speaker 21: or Obamacare. We've got to make sure we restore the...
1:32:16
Speaker 21: insurance for people to get it through Medicaid. The one
1:32:18
Speaker 21: that's the most important to me, and I really hope
1:32:20
Speaker 21: your audience hears this, because in the South, it's going
1:32:23
Speaker 21: to be the most important thing for our future, is
1:32:26
Speaker 21: we have to end partisan gerrymandering and restore the John
1:32:29
Speaker 21: Lewis Voting Rights Act. Because what we're seeing right now,
1:32:32
Speaker 21: just take Memphis, for example. They took that city and
1:32:35
Speaker 21: they carved it up in a way where those voters
1:32:37
Speaker 21: really don't get to pick their congressman. And they did
1:32:40
Speaker 21: that not because they were trying to look out for
1:32:41
Speaker 21: Memphis or even the people of Tennessee. They're trying to
1:32:43
Speaker 21: look out for the Republican Party. They didn't do it
1:32:47
Speaker 21: in Mississippi because we.
1:32:48
Speaker 8: Already had our primary.
1:32:49
Speaker 21: But they've already said at the end of this election,
1:32:52
Speaker 21: they're going to try to redraw the line so the
1:32:54
Speaker 21: people of Jackson, the people of the Delta can't pick
1:32:57
Speaker 21: the congressman they want. Tate Reeves wanted to say who
1:32:59
Speaker 21: represents those areas. And thank God our ancestors gave us
1:33:03
Speaker 21: the one thing we need in this moment. In Mississippi,
1:33:05
Speaker 21: we know about that sacrifice. People died. People went to prison.
1:33:09
Speaker 21: People lost their jobs. Because they knew in this moment
1:33:12
Speaker 21: we needed the right to vote. So if you ever
1:33:14
Speaker 21: thought your vote doesn't matter, if you're tired of hearing
1:33:16
Speaker 21: about your ancestors' sacrifices.
1:33:19
Speaker 8: If.
1:33:19
Speaker 21: You don't do something now in this moment to end
1:33:21
Speaker 21: partisan gerrymandering, you're going to go through what your grandparents,
1:33:24
Speaker 21: your great-grandparents went through because you're going to have no
1:33:27
Speaker 21: power at the ballot. And when you don't have power
1:33:29
Speaker 21: at the ballot, there is no accountability. You want the
1:33:32
Speaker 21: minimum wage raised? They're going to be like, so what?
1:33:34
Speaker 21: You want lower costs?
1:33:35
Speaker 8: So what? You want health care? So what? You want
1:33:37
Speaker 8: better schools? So what?
1:33:38
Speaker 21: Because they're telling you they don't have to answer to you.
1:33:42
Speaker 21: That's how you get people like the junior senator who
1:33:44
Speaker 21: doesn't campaign, doesn't do town halls, votes against everything, best
1:33:47
Speaker 21: for Mississippi.
1:33:48
Speaker 8: So we got to win this election. We got to
1:33:49
Speaker 8: end partisan gerrymandering. And that's my commitment.
1:33:52
Speaker 19: Word.
1:33:52
Speaker 6: Well, tell them how to donate to your campaign, Scott.
1:33:55
Speaker 8: ScottCologne.com.
1:33:56
Speaker 21: Listen, it's an honor to be at the Breakfast Club.
1:33:58
Speaker 21: It's a dream come true. Mississippi, we made it. We
1:34:00
Speaker 21: did it.
1:34:01
Speaker 8: Let's go win November 3rd. Show the country Mississippi matters.
1:34:03
Speaker 8: All right.
1:34:03
Speaker 2: It's Scott Cologne. Scott Cologne.
1:34:05
Speaker 8: That's okay. Scott Cologne.
1:34:07
Speaker 4: It's Scott Cologne.
1:34:09
Speaker 8: It's the Breakfast Club.
1:34:09
Speaker 6: Good morning.
1:34:13
Speaker 8: Morning, everybody.
1:34:14
Speaker 2: It's D-E-J-N-V. Jess Hilarious.
1:34:16
Speaker 9: Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
1:34:18
Speaker 9: to the latest with Lauren.
1:34:19
Speaker 2: Lauren becoming a straight face.
1:34:22
Speaker 4: She gets it from.
1:34:23
Speaker 2: Somebody that knows somebody.
1:34:25
Speaker 4: She gets the details.

Speaker 15: see people pointing to that as well, too. And there
1:35:28
Speaker 15: was like a moment on stage where people think he
1:35:30
Speaker 15: said Drake, but some people think he's talking to his
1:35:31
Speaker 15: musical director, a guy named Dre. But Anyway, congratulations. That's

1:35:51
Speaker 15: It was this real, real pretty black girl that he
1:35:52
Speaker 15: was with or whatever. And he looked like he was
1:35:56
Speaker 15: back to Kanye when we first saw him. He had
1:35:58
Speaker 15: lost weight.
1:35:59
Speaker 2: That was probably A.I.
1:36:00
Speaker 6: That was definitely A.I.
1:36:01
Speaker 15: Oh, my God.
1:36:02
Speaker 2: That was definitely A.I.
1:36:03
Speaker 15: I got happy as hell for a minute.
1:36:04
Speaker 22: Like, oh, yes.
1:36:05
Speaker 6: I didn't see it.
1:36:06
Speaker 4: All is about to be well.
1:36:07
Speaker 15: Whatever it was, I didn't see it. But I know
1:36:09
Speaker 15: he's still married to Bianca and she's... I didn't even
1:36:11
Speaker 15: know they got married.
1:36:12
Speaker 11: I just thought they was still boyfriend, girlfriend. Okay, not mine.
1:36:14
Speaker 11: I'm sorry.
1:36:15
Speaker 10: Okay.
1:36:16
Speaker 15: Well, in other news. So there's a conversation coming out
1:36:20
Speaker 15: of Kim Newton's Funky Friday right now that a lot
1:36:23
Speaker 15: of people are talking about. We're going to discuss it here.
1:36:25
Speaker 15: So you guys remember when we had Pastor Philip.
1:36:30
Speaker 11: Anthony Mitchell here. And he's from the 2819 movement.
1:36:32
Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
1:36:38
Speaker 15: A lot of people wanted to hear from him. Same
1:36:40
Speaker 15: thing with Cam Newton. The episode that they did is
1:36:42
Speaker 15: almost at a million views. Now, one of the conversations
1:36:44
Speaker 15: that they get into is homosexuality and how that is
1:36:47
Speaker 15: viewed from a pastor's perspective or in the church.
1:36:50
Speaker 2: Let's take a listen.
1:36:51
Speaker 6: Are homosexuals going to heaven?
1:36:52
Speaker 3: If a homosexual repents of their sin, places their faith
1:36:56
Speaker 3: in the Lord Jesus Christ. is filled with the Holy
1:36:58
Speaker 3: Spirit and turns from their sin, that former homosexual will
1:37:02
Speaker 3: be able to make it to glory. I know a
1:37:04
Speaker 3: few people who have struggled with homosexuality who have given
1:37:06
Speaker 3: their life to Christ. I'm not sure if my job
1:37:09
Speaker 3: is to force them down a life of heterosexuality. My
1:37:12
Speaker 3: job as a pastor is to help them follow a
1:37:14
Speaker 3: life of holiness and purity. My job is to teach
1:37:17
Speaker 3: them the scriptures and help them to live a life
1:37:18
Speaker 3: of holiness before God. They may have that urge for
1:37:21
Speaker 3: the rest of their life, but if they don't act
1:37:22
Speaker 3: on it, they don't sin before God, my job is
1:37:24
Speaker 3: to lead them towards a life of holiness. This would
1:37:25
Speaker 3: be like A man who struggles with loss, but they
1:37:28
Speaker 3: love Jesus and they still follow after them. My job
1:37:31
Speaker 3: is to preach in such a way, disciple in such
1:37:33
Speaker 3: a way, and love in such a way as to
1:37:34
Speaker 3: lead that brother or to lead that sister towards a
1:37:36
Speaker 3: life of holiness and purity. Holiness and purity does not
1:37:39
Speaker 3: mean I don't have struggles.
1:37:41
Speaker 6: It just means I yield to them just a little
1:37:43
Speaker 6: bit less.
1:37:45
Speaker 15: Yeah, so people are having conversations about that. Like, you know,
1:37:48
Speaker 15: of course, with that type of conversation, it's always like,
1:37:50
Speaker 15: is he coming from the right place because it's biblical
1:37:53
Speaker 15: or is it wrong to feel that way?
1:37:55
Speaker 6: He's a pastor. He's coming from a place of scripture.
1:37:57
Speaker 2: He follows the Bible.
1:37:58
Speaker 11: He didn't say anything personally. He didn't say, I don't,
1:38:01
Speaker 11: I don't. He's speaking personally.
1:38:03
Speaker 9: Scripture but i'm sure he feels like of everything in
1:38:05
Speaker 9: the bible when it comes to sin in the bible
1:38:07
Speaker 9: i'm sure he's got the.
1:38:08
Speaker 5: Scripture yeah he said it's a list of sins in
1:38:10
Speaker 5: the bible that the bible says is wrong and homosexuality
1:38:13
Speaker 5: is one of them and we're all gonna have uh
1:38:15
Speaker 5: to repent like i just just said from what i
1:38:17
Speaker 5: heard he didn't even say that's how he personally feels
1:38:20
Speaker 5: exactly he personally thinks it's wrong he said that's just
1:38:22
Speaker 5: scripture i mean he's a pastor yeah i don't i
1:38:25
Speaker 5: you know whether you agree or disagree with him he's
1:38:27
Speaker 5: a pastor who's following scripture.
1:38:30
Speaker 11: To be honest with you, I'm so sick of this conversation.
1:38:33
Speaker 11: I'm sick of this.
1:38:34
Speaker 15: Me too. It's like, why do we have to keep
1:38:36
Speaker 15: talking about this? There's so many other things with Cam's
1:38:41
Speaker 15: platform that he could have asked, not something that he
1:38:43
Speaker 15: saw online or not.
1:38:44
Speaker 11: Just whatever. What else?
1:38:46
Speaker 15: But I did end up watching because when I saw that,
1:38:49
Speaker 15: I wanted to go watch the full episode. So I
1:38:50
Speaker 15: wouldn't just form an opinion just from that clip. And
1:38:53
Speaker 15: it was a very meaningful and they got deeper, you know,
1:38:55
Speaker 15: and he actually got through the camp. Talking on a spirituality,
1:38:59
Speaker 15: on a spiritual level. We have that clip to let's
1:39:00
Speaker 15: take a listen.
1:39:01
Speaker 2: You know that.
1:39:02
Speaker 3: God is talking to you when something is impeding the
1:39:04
Speaker 3: tenderness of your conscience. Let's say you get into beef
1:39:07
Speaker 3: with somebody you love and then y'all are not talking
1:39:10
Speaker 3: to each other for a little while. All of a
1:39:11
Speaker 3: sudden you start feeling this nagging on the inside of
1:39:13
Speaker 3: your soul. Like, man, I need to call this brother
1:39:15
Speaker 3: and apologize. And it won't go away. You try to
1:39:17
Speaker 3: sleep it off and you continue to feel this nagging
1:39:19
Speaker 3: in your soul. you need to call his brother and apologize.
1:39:23
Speaker 3: That is probably a clear sign to you that God
1:39:24
Speaker 3: is communicating with you because God, according to the word,
1:39:27
Speaker 3: has given every human being a conscience. So God has
1:39:30
Speaker 3: given every human being a conscience that helps them to
1:39:33
Speaker 3: discern what is right from wrong. That is where morality
1:39:35
Speaker 3: springs up in our soul. And so if God really
1:39:38
Speaker 3: wanted to get a message to you, Cam, he'll just
1:39:40
Speaker 3: put his finger on your conscience and say, Cam, you
1:39:42
Speaker 3: need to go apologize. Cam, you need to not do that. Cam,
1:39:45
Speaker 3: you need to do this. He'll tap your conscience. Like,
1:39:47
Speaker 3: dang it, you know what? I need to go back
1:39:49
Speaker 3: and make this right.
1:39:49
Speaker 15: Mm-hmm.
1:39:52
Speaker 11: I really urge y'all to go listen to the rest
1:39:53
Speaker 11: of that.
1:39:54
Speaker 15: I love, love, love how he breaks the word down
1:39:58
Speaker 15: and he makes people understand. It's easier to digest, you know,
1:40:01
Speaker 15: if you don't know the biblical vocabulary.
1:40:04
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying? Some people read.
1:40:06
Speaker 15: The word, and because they don't understand, it goes in
1:40:09
Speaker 15: one ear and out the other.
1:40:10
Speaker 11: But I love how he breaks it down.
1:40:12
Speaker 15: I think that's why Pastor Phillip, I think that's why, like,
1:40:14
Speaker 15: so many youth, like, connect with him and, like, follow him.
1:40:18
Speaker 15: And they did bring back in the conversation about, like, whether, like,
1:40:20
Speaker 15: because of how heavy his following is, people try to
1:40:22
Speaker 15: make it, like, cult-y. And trying to figure out, like,
1:40:25
Speaker 15: whose voice does he hear? Like, who is he following? But, yeah.
1:40:28
Speaker 15: That's what Cam, yeah, that's what Cam asked me. Like,
1:40:30
Speaker 15: how do I know it's God speaking to me?
1:40:32
Speaker 11: I mean, I know.
1:40:33
Speaker 15: You being a pastor, you're closer to Christ. So, you know,
1:40:35
Speaker 15: but how do I know this is God's voice?
1:40:37
Speaker 10: You know, and so.
1:40:38
Speaker 6: All I know is we all fall short and we
1:40:40
Speaker 6: all going to need grace.
1:40:41
Speaker 4: Okay.
1:40:42
Speaker 6: And boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
1:40:44
Speaker 5: When you look at the list of sins, because it's
1:40:46
Speaker 5: not like one master list, but there's a lot of different.
1:40:48
Speaker 6: I ain't just talking about the seven deadly ones.
1:40:50
Speaker 5: I'm just talking about all the different sins that people
1:40:52
Speaker 5: can commit in the Bible. You wouldn't be worried about
1:40:54
Speaker 5: what other people got going on. You'd be focused on
1:40:55
Speaker 5: trying to get your soul right.
1:40:56
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:40:57
Speaker 5: And, and, you know, Genesis chapter one, verse 26 says,
1:40:59
Speaker 5: God created man in his image, according to his likeness.
1:41:02
Speaker 10: I hope not.
1:41:03
Speaker 6: Because if God moves the way humans moves, oh, we done.
1:41:06
Speaker 15: We all hell bound.
1:41:07
Speaker 6: We are done.
1:41:08
Speaker 15: We moving in the flesh, though. Once you separate yourself
1:41:12
Speaker 15: from who God put you to be versus who you
1:41:14
Speaker 15: are on this earth, that's a whole different experience.
1:41:16
Speaker 2: It's different.
1:41:17
Speaker 15: But all right, y'all. That was the latest. You guys
1:41:19

Speaker 5: Same thing we did in Philadelphia, you know, 6 a.m.

Speaker 5: to 10 a.m.
1:43:30
Speaker 15: That's right.
1:43:30
Speaker 6: The whole gang will be there.

Speaker 5: why we can't now, because they gave us a flyer
1:43:45
Speaker 5: to be able to post, and they got the special
1:43:47
Speaker 5: guest on there. So, South Carolina State University, we'll see y'all.
1:43:50
Speaker 6: November 13th, man. We don't have a link to give
1:43:52
Speaker 6: people to RSVP? What's the link? BreakfastClubOnline.com.

1:43:59
Speaker 2: Again, we are coming to South Carolina State at HBCU.
1:44:02
Speaker 8: What's the, um.
1:44:03
Speaker 6: November 13th, man. Powered by Morgan & Morgan.
1:44:06
Speaker 5: We'll be broadcasting live from South Carolina State University.
1:44:09
Speaker 6: And we'll see you there, man.
1:44:10
Speaker 8: That's right.
1:44:11
Speaker 6: November 13th.
1:44:12
Speaker 8: All right.
1:44:12
Speaker 2: You got a positive note?
1:44:13
Speaker 5: Positive note is simply this. Become ridiculously resourceful, okay? Learn
1:44:18
Speaker 5: to make things happen regardless of your circumstances. Don't know
1:44:21
Speaker 5: how something works?
1:44:22
Speaker 6: Figure it out. Don't know the right people? Build connections.
1:44:24
Speaker 6: Lack experience? Go and get some. Plans fall apart?
1:44:27
Speaker 2: Adapt.
1:44:28
Speaker 5: Become the person who can walk into unfamiliar situations, think
1:44:30
Speaker 5: on their feet, and find a way forward. Sharp mind,
1:44:33
Speaker 5: quick thinking, good judgment, a solution for almost everything. The
1:44:37
Speaker 5: more resourceful you become, the less intimidating life gets. Because
1:44:40
Speaker 5: when you trust yourself to figure things out, you stop
1:44:42
Speaker 5: waiting for perfect circumstances and start creating your own opportunities.
1:44:47
Speaker 6: Have a great day.
1:44:47
Speaker 4: Breakfast Club, bitches!
1:44:49
Speaker 6: We all finished or y'all done?
