• 1:46
  Speaker 1: to hear all of that conversation about I don't want
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to hear that conversation about Republicans no more. Because at
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you have two people
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: on your team who are supposed to be for the people, right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: the Democrats, and they won't get in line, it's on them.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Well we'll talk about that during Front Patients. It's been
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a year though since Biden's been in office, right, yeah,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: his first year, his first ship. Well, today will be
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: grand open, their grand closing. They're gonna lose the midterms
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this year when they lose the midterms this year, He's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: definitely not gonna be able to get nothing done, grand opening,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: grand closing, one term president, So rap give it that people,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So fu it's not getting no better. So I'm gonna say,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: I look at I'm a little I'm a little confused
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: with it. Like you know, if we all let's just say,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: I just put it in simple terms, right, we all bloods, Right,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we're all supposed to rock with each other. That's that's it, right,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: It's really that's it. But that's what they told us.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: We don't rock with the crips, right, so we all bloods,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: we ride with each other. And that's what they told
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: us and said, hey, if we get to Senate and
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: we got the White House, we'll get things done. That's
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: why they went so hard to flip Georgia Philips is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: what happened. Joe Man and Joe Manson and Christen Cinema
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: are dinos Democrats in name only. Remember when the Trump
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: called the Arizona jail for legislators rhinos. Yes, a couple
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: last week the Republican name only, That's what manoning in
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Cinema are democrats in name on. They ain't riding for
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the tay ride with the team at right, All right, well,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: not even a little bit, but I don't know. Well,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we definitely wouldn't have voting rights to legislation if Republicans
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: were if Donald Trump was the president now either right,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: we noticed though, right? No, no, no, they would have
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: passed the voting rate legislation. It would just been some bs.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: They everybody passed vote suppression laws and what eighteen states?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Thirty different voter suppression laws in eighteen state, so it
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: would have been hard to vote regardless, it sounds like
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we need more Democrats in the Senate. Sure, that's what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it is, so that it wouldn't rest on two people. Sure,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll talk about that more in Front
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Page News and Shakas and God will be joining us
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: this morning. Of our guy. He's the best selling author
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: New York Times, best selling author. He had writing My

  Speaker 1: Wrongs last time when he was up here, and he
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: has a new book. It's called let Us to the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Sons of Society and for all this invitation to love,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: honesty and freedom. So we're gonna kick it with him
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: next hour, right, all right, so we got Front Page
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: News next, don't move, it's to Breakfast Club, Go Morning Morning.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy we
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: are to breakfast clubliskin some front page news. All right,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: A lot to talk about. What we're starting easy, Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: let's start with the Senate last night. They did feel
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the chance to feel ab us the rule that would
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: allow voting rights legislations to pass with a simple majority.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: It would have required fifty one votes to pass, but
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: did not have the support of all Democrats as we know.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: And so here is what Kamala Harris has to say
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: about voting legislation. I am here to make a very
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: strong statement that this is whatever proference tonight comes the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: outcome of this vote, the President and I are not
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: going to give up on this issue. This is fundamental
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: charge democracy and it is non negotiable. Well, let's see
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: if Democrats challenge the seats of Joe Mansion and Kristen Cinema.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: All right, if they're not on your team and they've
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: showed you that, then I would expect you to run
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: some other Democrats against them and challenge them. If not,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: y'all all in it together in Cinema and Mansion are
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just to fall gods and gal Well, here's what Joe
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Biden had to say on voting rights legislation. I've had
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: their back. I've had their back my entire career. I've
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: never not had their back. Life started on the voting
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: righteous She's long, long and good. This would got be
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: involved in politicstion in first place. Now the Senator and
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: mansion has some criticism about people telling him what he
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: needs to do. The rule book means that the rules
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: changes are done on the basis of broad body partisan consensus,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: not imposed on the minority by raw majority power, no
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: matter who's in power. Now, my colleagues propose a sidestep
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: this process. They would use the nuclear option to override
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a rule that we have used ourselves but now seem
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: to find unacceptable. We're going to break the rules to
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: change the rules and make up new rules as we
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: go along. Invite them ourselves to future majority to just
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: regard the rule book of will No rule of the
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Senate can withstand the act of a willful majority. Let
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: this change happen in this way in the Senate will
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: be a body without rules. Now, that's in regards to
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: getting rid of the filibuster, because Senate Majority leader Chuck
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Schumer said Democrats would carve out to the filibuster rules
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to pass voting rights legislation by replacing that sixty vote
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: the threshold needed to break a filibuster with an old
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: fashioned talking filibusters. They just don't care about black people
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: voting people. That's all because if you can't get rid
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of the filibuster, philibuster, car about something in the philibuster
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: to preserve the cornerstone of democracy, voting rights is because
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: your voting rights aren't threatened, you don't care if black
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: people can vote. No, he just said he with us.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: He said he just got to come out and see
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: us more. That was Joe Biden. Yeah, well, here's what
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden has to say about things that he has
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and he did a solo news conference ahead of his
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: one year mark in office. Yet a whole bunch of nothing.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Here's what he said. You're spending package voting rights legislation.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. So that's true. Is there anything
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: that you are confident you can get signed into law
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: before the midterm elections. Yes, I'm confident we can get
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: pieces big chunks of the bill back Better Law signed
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to the law. And I'm confident that we can take
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the case to the American people that the people they
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: should be voting for her going to oversee whether your
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: elections in fact are legit or not, should not be
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: those who are being put up by the Republicans to
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: determine that they're gonna be able to change the outcome
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: the election. I think the best, the most important thing
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: to do is try to inform, not educate, inform the
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: public of what's at stake and start terms. Yesterday, he
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: said the twenty twenty two midterm elections, if they don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: get some voting rights passed, will probably be illegitimate, that's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: what he said, right, or they'll probably be you know, interference, duh.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So that would be all the more reason to try
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: to get some voting right legislation pass all right. Well,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: we have more of that in the next hour on
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: front page new And I also want to say man
• 7:35

• 8:42
  Speaker 1: they need us to vote for that way, we want
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: to hold up stuff back. What do you mean so
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: they're trying to stop us from voting? Right, So the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: best thing we can do is whatever it is they
• 8:52

• 8:58
  Speaker 1: What's gonna happen? Then, did you tell that's what I'm
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: trying as what I'm trying to tell y'all. This is
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the same listen. Democrats were in the same play, same
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: play every single time during the presidential election. It was like, Okay,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: we get the White House, we get to send it.

  Speaker 1: Change your happen. They got the White House, they got
• 9:15

• 9:19
  Speaker 1: This is evlent Um speaking. Good morning to you, Um,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: dj Envy Solomon God and miss Eve good morning, Um,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: good morning. Well, I just wanted to get this off
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: my chest concerning the voting Right bill that just um
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: died under Senate floor. Yes, ma'am, n um. This politicians
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: they are just playing games. And we citizens, we need
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: to get educated. We need to know what we need
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: to do. We need to vote the people out. That's
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: our job, right. We need to do our research and
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: we need to vote them out. And democrats all this
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: political politicians say, so called democrats, they need to have
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: a clear understanding that they need to do what they
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: need to do. Republicans they do whenever, whenever it's their turn,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: they make things happen. That's rights in fall in line.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So Democrats they need to get their house in order.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why they keep playing games and having
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: this argument back and forth. Get your out in order. Yeah,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: there's the problem. Did you see yesterday when they asked
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden did he even reach out to any Republicans
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: about voting rights? And he was like no, I didn't
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: get a chance too because I was too busy trying
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: to get people on my own team to get a board.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And see, that's the problem right there. This is a
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: guy that has been in the Senate for over thirty
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: something years. It knows how to talk to Republicans. But
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: if it's houses not in order, how can he reach
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: out to the other guy in the Republicans they say, hey, guys,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: come along. He can't do that. It doesn't even make
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: any sense because the first thing that we're telling me, oh, botowing,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: miss submissive president, we still have two nitors that is
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: olding out, why are you talking? Why are you talking
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: to us? So that's number one and number two, I'll
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: understand why Democrats can't just get in line. Just get
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: in line, do what you need to do. Yeah, and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: make things dropping. Yeah, and imagine the cinema don't want
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to get in line? How come democrats don't challenge for
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: their seats? Hello? Who's this? Good morning? My comedy buddy,

• 18:42
  Speaker 1: breakfast Club. Well, yesterday on the Nick Cannon Show, Nick Cannon,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: who was doing a man panel, and he was talking
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: about some of his own insecurities when it comes to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: having sex. Are there any insecurities when it comes to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the bedroom. I'm gonna tell you off top, I definitely
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: have an insecurity when it comes with being intimate, ripped
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: with just making fun of I'm I'm actually I've been
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: skinny all my life, so therefore I'm never liked to
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: be completely naked when so like it's it's it's usually
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: are like a hide under the cover. As much as
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: I love, I boast about being shape and got some
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: type of some type of stock. So that's my security.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Anybody else, that shouldn't matter. If that slong slonging though, right,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: if that thing hanging, it shouldn't matter. You're fine with it. Yeah,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: it just shouldn't matter, you know what I mean, Like
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I mean me me personally, I hide the shrink it.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean. I don't want abody to
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: see me when I'm fresh out of the shower. You know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I don't want you know, my wife to see me
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: after you know, I ejaculate and I've been laying there
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: for a while because you know, the hawk turns back
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: to Bruce Manner. I want to I want to see
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: that look. I don't care out the shower, in the
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: shower after Jack. It don't matter, not not shrink it,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: just my insecurity. I want no no, I'm I don't care.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna growing out of show. I need to be
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: my best off at all. It's great because when a
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: guy does, when he's done, and it's small, it's smaller.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: It's nice to be you'd like, look, I've never seen
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: it so little, and then he really, yeah, I don't
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: want insecure, But that's him talking about his own insecurity,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: and clearly it stems from him having been skinny his
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: whole life or whatever. So I'm sure when he's comfortable enough,
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: you know, he ain't that shamed about it. All them
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: kids he got somebody seeing now the day doesn't get naked.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: He's just a little insecure about it because I guess
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: he's thinking about being used to being skinny and being
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: insecure about that. All right. Now, let's talk about Megan Good.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: So she's single now and she posted up a picture
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: she's you know, Megan has always been in really good shape.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: It scenes like ever since I've first seen her, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: Heave's value. Um. So a lot of people were talking
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: about that and they're like, all right, Megan, you know,
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: back back out here. But one thing she did talk
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: about on the Kelly Clarkson Show was the show Harlem.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I know you guys watch some of that Harlem on
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Prime Amazon Prime. And one thing she talked about was
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Whoopi Goldberg helping her with her lines. She's so nice
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and like whenever you meet people, you're like, oh God,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: please let them, be a wonderful don't fail me, don't
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: ruin it fall. And I remember there was one day

  Speaker 1: she was like, it's it's Seneca. It's it's Seneca Village,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Seneca Village. I was like, Okay. So then I come
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: in and I like butcher her coverage saying the line wrong.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: And then on my coverage, I come in and she's
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: taped it with the pronunciation across her boobs, and I'm like, senate.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: She was like, I was like, look at my boobs.

• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that's Cute's certain words you just always pronounced wrong, and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: the other people could pronounce it right all the time,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: but for some reason in your head, you're pronouncing it
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: a certain way. Believe me, I know every word on
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Believe me every other word. Now, we told you guys
• 21:57

  Speaker 1: heart in any way, shape or form. And I love
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: to see people do things that somebody can't hate on.

• 23:58
  Speaker 1: cameras everywhere. Okay, so there's always kind all kinds of

• 24:58
  Speaker 1: is DJ be Angela Ye, Charlomagne the guy we ought
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. When
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: we started, well, yesterday Joe Biden had a solo news conference.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: We played some of it during the first front page
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: news break. Now, let's talk more about what he had
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: to say, and one thing he discussed was being realistic
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: and about his planning needs to be out there. American
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: people overwhelmingly agree with me on prescription drugs. They overwhelmingly
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: agree with me on the cost of education, they overwhelmingly
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: agree with me on early education. They're overwhelming go on
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: the list on childcare. And so we just have to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: make the case what we're for and what the other
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: team's not for. And one of the things that I
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: think is we're going to have to do is just
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: make the case. I don't think there's anything unrealistic about
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: we're asking. I'm not trying to I'm not asking for
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: castles in the sky. I'm asking for practical things the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: American people I'm asking for for a long time. What
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: is he talking about? He also says he didn't over promise.
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: He said I had probably outperformed what anybody happened. What
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: I want to know, what is he talking about? Who
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: is he talking to? He's the president. Why do you
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: sound like he's on the campaign trail. You're the president,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: You're in charge now. He also went to Twitter and
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: said in our first year in office, we created six
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: point four million jobs. That's the biggest year of job
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: creation in American history. In perspective, though a lot of
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: people were out of work because of COVID and a
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: lot of businesses we're not in so you should have
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the biggest job creation in American history because there were
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: so many jobs lost. A lot of people were resigned
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: too because of COVID. And then he also tweeted out,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: in our first year, we achieved a record number of
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: jobs created, a record dropping the unemployment rate, a record
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: dropping unemployment claims. We're getting America back to work, the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: record dropping unemployment claim because a lot of people resigned.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: A lot of people realize that they can make money
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: doing a lot of other things, and so they decided
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: to be entrepreneurs. Resignation absolutely right now. He decided to
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: be entrepreneurs, and they quit their jobs. Another thing he
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: talked about was his next term, stating, I'm going to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: do differently. Number One, I'm gonna go out and talk
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: to the public. Number two, I'm also going to be
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: out there seeking the more advice of experts outside from
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: academia to editorial writers, to think tanks, and I'm bringing
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: them in. And the third thing, I'm gonna be doing
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: a lot more of. I'm going to be deeply involved
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: in the offices off your elections to go out and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: make the case in plain, simple language as to what
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: it is we've done, what we want to do, and
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: why we think it's important. There is no next term,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: President Biden, You're gonna move the midtterms this year. When
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: you lose the midterms and the Republics and Republicans get
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: control of the Health and the Senate, you damn ain't
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to get nothing done. You can't get
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: nothing done now, So you damn shin't' getting that done.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: In one question on twenty twenty four ambitions, he did
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: say that Vice President Kamala Harris would be his running mates.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: It was a two hour press conference that he had.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: And another thing he discussed was giving away four hundred
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: million and ninety five mass that's all going to start
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: next week two. So they did stockpile all of these masks,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and they have more than seven hundred and fifty million
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: of them on hand. You know, it's been hard for
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: people to find those in ninety five masks, they said,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: those are the ones that offer the most protection. So
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they are going to make those available for free to
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: US residents starting next week. What I don't understand is
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: it vote and rights legislation hasn't passed, and they have
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: made it hard for black people to vote all over
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: the country, and Biden hasn't gotten any of his campaign
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: promises done for black people. How and why is he
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: expecting black people to vote for him in the next election.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: How is he already talking about another term? What he say?
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: You don't think that's arrogant? Yeah, but what do he
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: say to you if you don't vote for me, you
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: ain't black? That's still his mindset. No, you're right, you're right.
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: He's still he still think y'all nigga gonna go out there. Well,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: they asked him about his ambitions for twenty twenty four,
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: so that's why he addressed it. He was questioned about it. Listen,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna vote because you know that's just and I'm
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: gonna tell everybody else to get out there and vote
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: and don't let them suppress your vote. There I am.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I'm telling everybody, y'all need to get out there and vote.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: I want everyone to exercise their right. I'm going to
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: vote because I'm trying to take away from us because
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: of the power that we have. Yeah, but even when
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: we do vote, they get in and don't do anything.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: But I'm gonna vote because I'm a taxpaying American citizen.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: But for anybody out there who feels like they don't
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: want to, I understand why. But you, I mean, you
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: still have to have top people feel like, you know,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like you, don't you know what because a
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: lot of people tell me you vote right, They don't
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: want to vote for about it? They don't feel Biden
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: represents them, but they don't want to vote Republicans. So
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: what do they do? No, they feel like these people
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: don't getting anything. Not voting for that people are feeling
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: like they're not getting anything done. When you know what
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I hate is the fact that we're always putting pressure
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: on the voters to get things done. When we're gonna
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: put pressure on them to get things done. They running
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: around here saying, oh, you got to vote like democracy
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: depends on it. When y'all gonna govern like democracy depends
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: on it. Why do we always got to have the
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: sense of urgency? Why not them should be I think
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: it should be both. I think that if you don't vote,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: then we got hard on people who who say things like, man,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: I don't want to vote because I don't feel like
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: nothing's getting done. Then we do the people who are
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: actually in positions of power right now, you know, not
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: doing anything. Not Dowers. He's still on the campaign trailing.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: He's the president. You also have to look at your
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: local elections though, I agree with that, so you have
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: to get out vote. You're not just voting for the president.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: And it's mid terms. I agree with that. You have
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: to get out there and vote. And I would never
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: encourage people not to or tell them you feel discouraged.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: You have to do your part. You feel discouraged, because
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that's your part, and your part is awesome. I mean,
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: you can feel discouraged, but don't not discouraged. That's what
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: democracy is about. Democracy is about challenging these elected officials.
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: The marcacy is telling them that we don't feel good
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: about what's going on. What you mean and get out
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: there and speak, and you have to make sure that
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: your vote. You vote for people that you feel like
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: represent you and then put the pressure on them. And
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: it is important too for us to also strategize come
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: together and make sure that we make demands and make
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: sure our voices are heard. But if you're not voting,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: they don't care about you. If you're not voting, it's
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: the same most on. They don't care about this. When
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: we do vote, I have some local officials who I
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: really local. Yes, I'm hyperlocal. I'm hyperlocal. I agree with that.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: So that's all about voting. So so you mean vote
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: vote on a local talking about mid terms right now? Right?
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Midterms coming up? I thought we were talking about him
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: saying setting up. I thought he's his next turn in
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: between twenty four. That's what I thought we were talking about.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: We're talking about both though, I mean midterms. That what's
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: coming up next? All right, and that is your front page.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, I don't see how he plans,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: you know, to winning the mid terms. I really don't
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: when when when voter rights legislation hasn't been passed, they're
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: making it hard for black people to vote, and he
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: hasn't gotten any of his campaign promises done to black people.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they checks a high vote, the
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: black turnout. They're making it high press to vote because
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: of how important voting is. So don't be discouraged and
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: not vote because that's what they want you to do.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: That as a form of voter suppression when they tell
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you know those is a form of vote depression. When
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: you got people in power who promise things and they
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: don't get those things done, that's a form of voter
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: suppression too, because it discourages voters. Did not come out, Ladies, ladies, ladies,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Later. The problem now when we
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: come back, shock us and Goal will be joining us.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: So right, New York Times best selling. Of course, he's
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: the author of writing My Wrongs, and he has a
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: new book, let Us to the Sons of Society, a fall,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: this invitation to love, honesty and freedom. We're gonna talk
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: to him next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, a breakfast club. Your morning's will never be
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the same morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlemagne,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfast Club. We got a
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: special guest in the building. Yes, indeed he's back, the
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: brother Shaka and Man. Thank y'all so much for having me.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to be here. Welcome back. Brother. First of all,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: how were you doing with COVID and and everything that's
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: been going on in this crazy world. I'm blessed just
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: you know, taking it one day at a time. You know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I think I got a very unique experience that kind
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: of prepared me for these isolated moments. So I've been
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: good man, just really taking opportunity to be more creative,
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: more thoughtful about life, more present with the people in
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: my life, and taking it one step at the time.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: But I'm ready for it to be over, to get
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: back to living freely. I don't think the world as
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: we know it's never gonna be the same. Because Shaka
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: was here before, he was talking about his book Any
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: of My Wrongs, and now he has another, Yes, Letters
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: to the Sense of Society. And when you reference COVID
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: and isolation, I saw you were talking about how when
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you were locked up in seven years you spent in
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: solitary confinement and the comparison to COVID. Yeah, I mean,
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I think it's very different. But I think
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: one of the things, and I actually talk about it
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: in the book, that similar is the kind of disoriented
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: effect of not knowing when something is going to end
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: or normalize. And people was like, well, how would you
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: compare that those two things. But when I was in solitary,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: my senses was indeterminate, so they never told me when
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I was getting out. And I think the same thing
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: as kind of happened early. Always was like, oh, we'll
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: be done with this in a couple of months, we'll
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: be done maybe six months, and you know, we're almost
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: two years later and we still don't know. So it
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: just kind of makes it hard for you to put
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: your feet onside ground. And I wanted to be sensitive
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: to the reality that people were facing with so that
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: people can get themselves grace and understand that it's a
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: real thing. It's not something then that they're matching and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: as difficult. It really is difficult. That makes perfect sense
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: to me, Like it sounds like the perfect analogy. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah,
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, but I guess if you've never been in
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: solitary confinements, yeah, I mean, this is not quite solitary.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: You know, we still can get real food and all
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: those things. But I think psychologically what happens, and I mean,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: you know, you talk a lot about mental health, which
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I really respect, but mentally what goes on is the
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: most important. Pardon you know, I tell people all the time,
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: like I got free from prison mentally before I ever
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: walked out of prison, and it's one of the reasons
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I'm able to do some of the things that I
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: do now because that recognition that the worst prison will
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: ever be in as our mind was something I was
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: able to acknowledge early on in my incarceration, and that
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: helped me get through a book. Yeah, Letters to the
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Sons of Society, A father's invitation of love, honesty, and freedom.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? I mean, you know, as as
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: a dad, I've had two very unique experience, which is
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: crazy when you think about it. Yes, it's it's wild. Yeah,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: when I was arrested, my oldest son's mom was still
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: pregnant with him, so he was born like six months
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: after mind carceration, and so I only experienced fatherhood with
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: him through my dad bringing my son to visit me,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: you know. And so basically I kind of made up
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: this narrative about being a good dad and being a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: prison dad because I was able to write letters and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: get phone calls, but I wasn't able to really spend
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: the time that's necessary to nurture a child through the world.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: And you know, now I had this wonderful experience of
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: raising my now ten year old son, say cool, he's
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: a young entrepreneur, he's creative, very intelligent, and it's dramatically different,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: you know, But I'm also different too as a man,
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: Like I'm a grown man. When I went to prison,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I was a nineteen year old kid, and so you know,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: this book really is a reflection of those experiences, but
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: it's actually a little bit deeper. You know, I mentor
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: young people all over the country. You know, you go
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: through what I've been through with prison, where I spent
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: nineteen years of my life, and most of the guys
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I spent time with were kids, and so for me,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: you know, working with young men across the country, I'm like,
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: this is the book I want to write. So I
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: start off like letters to my hip hop songs, letter
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: to my young entrepreneurial sons. And then I realized between
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: all the young men that I get a chance to
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: mentor existed my two sons, and I felt that intimacy
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: would come through more if I just wrote directly to
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: them about life and what I've experienced, but also what
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I whispered them and dealt with some of the issues
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: that were faced with What is your oldest son. How
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: is your relationship with him? Because you know him being
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: the older now he's looking at you and your younger
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: son right now, and how the fact that you could
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: be there and that you are at his games and
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: you are helping him with his homework and all those things.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm sure he feels like, damn, I wasn't.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't have that part of my dad. So how
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: is your relationship? I mean it's very complex. You know,
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: my oldest son is now thirty years old. And when
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: I came home and I talked about it, one of
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: the one of the most impactful chapters I think that
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: people really going to resonate is to first resonate with
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: is the first chapter, because it really explains the complexity
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: of coming home to a young man and trying to
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: insert my life and myself into his life as his dad.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: And really I came home as a mentor, Yo, this
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: is how we're gonna do it. We're gonna make these
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: things happen. And yeah, and it wasn't fair to him,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't fair for me to come home
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: because the story I had was contracted to the reality
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: of being in prison. And so it's been it's been
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: a very difficult. It's probably been the most complex part
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: of my life and the hardest thing I've ever had
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: to confront as a man. And that's where the honesty
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: and then the title comes from, is as dads, oftentimes
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: we're not honest, whether it's honest about the things that
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: are positive or honest about our shortcomings. And I really
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: wanted to create space for fathers to really have honest discussions,
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: especially when we think about what's happening with black males
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: in our communities. Well as you talk about what you
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: did do when you came home, and your son obviously
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: felt like, well, you can't just come and change my
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: life and tell me what to do now because you
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: haven't been present as a father. So a lot of
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: people have had to deal with that when they get
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: out of jail because we don't even think about that, right,
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: what is that relationship? Like? Can I just step back
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: in nineteen years later as a dad and tell you
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: how to do things when you've been doing things your
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: own way? So what advice do you have forefathers out
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: there who are trying to get back into their children's life.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: My advice is always to take the you know, the
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: guidance of a child, because you know, we owe them.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: They don't know us anything, and I think it's really
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: important to be patient, to give yourself grace, but also
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: to acknowledge that you know it was your decisions that
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: took you out of their life and not their decision
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: to not be present. And so what I've tried to
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: do is just be patient and be you know, allow
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: him to kind of set the tone for our engagement
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: with no expected outcomes. And I've really detached my ego
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: from parenting, not just with him, but also with my
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: youngest son. And what about with the mom too, because
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: that's also an issue because now you want to make
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: sure that you have this time. And if you know
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: at first your son isn't comfortable or certain things are
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: going on, because we've had people call up here with
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: issues like that, Well, you know, the mom is has
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: a new boyfriend, she's moved on, she's done this, and
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: I need this to happen for me with my son
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: and she's not helping with the relationship. How did that
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: dynamic work? I mean, I think that one was a
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: little bit more complex because my dad really stepped in
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: and kind of filled the gap. So to speak. So
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: he and my oldest son's mom, they kind of had
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: almost like a parent child relationship. You know. He stepped in,
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: you know, as as my dad is just incredible. He's
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: a really incredible human being, and so he kind of
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: raised her. You know. So by the time I came home,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: my son was grown, so we didn't have to have
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: as much engagement, but there were moments, you know, And
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: again I talked about it in that first chapter where
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I had to reach out to her like, Hey, this
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: is what's happening with me and him. And I'm not
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: trying to go back to the old way that I
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: was living, but I will if, you know, if I
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: get pushed to that point. And so just being able
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: to have that understanding what her was really important. Health. Yeah,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I was super triggered. We had a we had a
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: very intense moment. Someone wasn't going down the right path
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: and use it well. Now we got into like a
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: real conflict, and it happens often, you know, especially with
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: guys coming home from the joint, Like i'ven't been in
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: the joint, on the yard, thugging it out, going through
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: all the violent realities of that and that experience and
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: what I didn't account for is I hadn't healed from
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: that PTSD, And so there was a moment when me
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: and my son got into a conflict and he physically
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: threatened me, and I told his mom, like, you know,
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you need to holly him because otherwise I'm gonna take
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: him over here and leave him in his field. And
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: something actually happened where we thought. That's what went down
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: with my son, And that's what I talked about in
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: that first chapter. All right, we got more. We shot
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: us and goal when we come back, don't move. It's
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: to Breakfast Club. Good morning, every envy angela yee. Charlemagne,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: the guy we are the Breakfas Club was still kicking
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: it with Shatkus and Gore. You know, he's a New
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: York Times bestselling author for writing My Wrongs and has
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: a new book called Letters to the Sons of Society,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: A Father's Invitation to love, honesty, and freedom. Charlemagne, how
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: long did it take you to get out of that
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: survival mode of fighting? Like I got to protect myself
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: at all time. I wanted to take you to get
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: out of it. Actually, that that experience with my son
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: was the first time I had really really realized that
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I hadn't fully processed all that out of my system,
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: you know, when I was when I did that last
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: stretch in solitary, I just came out focused on life
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: at the prison, and I didn't First of all, I
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: didn't know if I was ever getting out, but I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: had wrote down all the things I wanted to manifest
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: in my life, because I believe you attracted your life
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: what you think about the most, and so I started
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: living my life in that way. But it's still the
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: big yard, and I still was who I am on
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the yard, so I had to navigate that first. And
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: I was fortunately, you know, like I had reached that
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: status or respect where I didn't have to deal with
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: all the conflicts. But it also set me up for
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the reality of what happens when you get home and
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: nobody cares about your transformation when you're in the hood.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: Nobody cares that you're thinking about peaceful resolution as opposed
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: to taking it back to the block. And so after
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: that experience with my son, I really was like, I
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: actually need therapy to really process like what I've been
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: through because a lot of it was being covered up
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: with achievements. Right I got out I was successful relatively
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: early on. You know, I've achieved, you know, probably an
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: exceptional level of success in pretty much all the endeavors
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I set out to do, and that covered up what
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: was actually the reality is that I was in prison
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: for nineteen years. I was in solitary. Nobody leaves that
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: place without scars. And it doesn't matter if you've been
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: in there for one day or ten days or ten years.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: That place scars you in a way that shows up
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: in different areas of your life later on, and you're
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: retelling those stories over and over again, like you said
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: in interviews, and talking about the book and reliving it
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: all the time. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, when when writing
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: My Wrongs came out, you know, I was on tour,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I was doing all the things I had, you know,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the conversation with Oprah and you know, all the things
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: that come with promoting a product. But then I also
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: was a sought after speaker. I had to did a
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: ted talking like twenty fourteen and from their universities in schools,
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and so I'm just constantly talking about what I actually
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: went to prison for, which was murdered, and I had
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: never reconciled that, you know, And so I found myself
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: in this in this real dark space, and it kind
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: of culminated with me driving down the wrong side of
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: expressway drunk one night and I was like, yeah, I'm
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: about to throw it all away, and that's when all
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: the things that started coming back, like, yo, you you've
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: been traumatizing a way that you haven't been honest about
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: because who the hell talks about PTSD, posting cars, rady.
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: We're just happy to get out, celebrate, had the parties,
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: get back to living, or you know, this dream be concocted,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: But the reality is a lot of us come home
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: deeply scarred. And it's really you know, you think about
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: those stories of somebody coming out and then they can
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: create or commit a heinous act of violence. We're like, see,
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: we should have left for men. But the reality is
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: we have to ensure that people are getting the therapeutic
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: treatment so that they can't come home healthy and hole.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Because you could you tell people how important it is
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: for folks who have done you know, a lot of
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: prison time to get mental health treatment. Cause always say
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: they call these facilities correction facilities, but you're not correcting nothing.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: In order for a person to get out and not
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: just operate out of that survival mentality. They need help,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: you know, And we have to destigmatize what mental health
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: treatment looks like, especially for black males. It's not a
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: weak thing. It's not something that makes you a suck
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: or you solve. It's really healthy to be able to
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: process the things that you're thinking about in a way
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: that isn't harmful to your community, is harmless to your family.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: And you know, when you come out of a environment
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: that violent, you've been infected by that, you know your
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: own edge. Like I mean, my first part of my incarceration,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: I was at the Myxican informatory is called the Gladiator
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: of the school. You know, my first week, my first
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: actual day in prison, a guy gets stabbed in the
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: neck and he keep it moving. I'm like, okay, well,
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: this is what it is. This is where we're at.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: This is the land of the lions and the lambs.
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: And you make a choice early on, and like that
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't leave just because you walk out of prison, Like
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't leave just because you get parole. Those realities
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: are still there, and so you know, I think it's
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: it's exceptionally important for anybody who's been through that to get,
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: you know, psychological evaluation first of all of their mental
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: health treatment. You know you said something earlier that you know,
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: when your son was older, you figured that you would
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: have to fall back for a little bit, right. I
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: have two sons, and what made me really think about
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: that is, you know, as a kid, when your dad
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: tells you to do something like, you're mad, like why
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: is he making me do this? Right? Then when you
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: get older, you understand why, you know. But you know
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: what scares me sometimes is, you know, thank god I
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: went the right way where I didn't have to I
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: didn't have to learn. He was telling me no. So
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: hard does that ever scare you with your kids? You know?
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, because, yeah, you have to fall back. You
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: gotta let your son learn on his own, and one
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: day he'll get to the age of black. I understand
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: what my dad was doing, but it's always that fear
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: of what if he goes the wrong way? You know,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: what if he goes that takes that wrong turn, or
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: does that stupid thing. You know, he might not get
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: that grace, that empathy. Yeah, I think you know. The
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: way that I've approached parenting is I honestly have egoist
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: parenting because I realized that whatever outcomes my son you know,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: has in life, those will be based on choices that
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: he made. So my response will be, as his dad
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: is to set up all the resources necessary, the guiding principles,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: but ultimately he's gonna have to choose. And I based
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: that on you know, my experience with my dad and
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: knowing that my dad, you know, wanted the best for me,
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: and he wanted the best for all of his kids.
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: But there are things that I transpired in my live
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: life that my dad didn't even understand how to help
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: me process, which led to me running away, led to
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: me getting caught up in the streets. And you know,
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the things that was really
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: important with me and my dad was for me letting
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: him know that he wasn't responsible for the decisions I
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: made that led to me being in prison, and that
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: was a liberating moment for both of us. And so
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: with my son, I just do egoists parenting, Like, you know,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: I provide the resource of the opportunities, and ultimately he's
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: going to have to make the decisions. And like I
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: don't have any ego attest as outcomes. Why why is
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: the relationship with our fathers so complicated, because that's that's
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, for me, even when I
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: started going to therapy for anxiety and depression realizing all
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: these father issues I had. Why Why is that so
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: complicated that relationship? You know, I think there's a few
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: things that has happened, specifically with black Man. For one,
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: our narrative has been shrunken to us only being capable
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: of providers, and if there was any struggle with provision,
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: then that's a direct attack on manhood, and any other
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: male figure is a threat to that, you know. With
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: my dad, my dad, when he met my mom, she
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: had three children. He is just out of the Air
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Force twenty one years old, so he went straight into
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: provision mode. And then they had three more children. And
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: I have a deeper appreciation now as I have one son,
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: to just realize how hard it is to be a provider.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: But I think because that narrative has been so limiting,
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: it hasn't allowed us the opportunities to have real meaningful conversations.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: And what happened with me and my dad is probably
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: about you know, four or five years into my car's ration,
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I started really maturing and we were able to just
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: have deep, meaningful conversation. It was all through letters, which
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: is the inspiration of the book. And these are actually
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: my daddy, my dad. I'm like my daddy, my daddy's letters.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: These are actually his letters on the book because I
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: really wanted to honor how he showed up in that
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: meaningful way. But you know, I think that the more
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: honest we are with what our emotional needs are, but
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: also with our ability a teacher to provide beyond, you know,
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: finances and discipline. I think the more we open up
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: those conversations, the better relationships become between our fathers and son.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: All right, well the movie got more with Shaka to goal.
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: When we come back as the Breakfast Club, God Morning
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: and I don't want to morning. Everybody is DJ Envy
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: and Ngul Yee Charlemagne the guy we are the Breakfast
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Club were still kicking it with Shakas and Gore. You know,
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: he's a New York Times bestselling author for writing My
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Wrongs and has a new book called Let Us to
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: the Sons of Society, A Father's Invitation to love, honesty
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: and freedom. Yee Chaka, can you talk about how instrumental
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: your father's support was for you while you were in prison,
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: because imagine not even having that, you know, I mean,
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: my dad was my primary supporter. We don't we don't
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: hear that story. You know. For nineteen years, my dad
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: came to see me at prisons all over Michigan. I
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: think the farthest I've ever been away was about twelve hours,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: and he and my stepmom and they would travel up
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: to see me. You know, he wrote me consistently. I
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: still have all this letters. Um. You know, he took
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: those phone calls. You know, he you know, was present
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: with the real conversations. You know, there was a lot
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: of hurt that we both shared. You know, there was
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of areas of life where I felt, you know,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: he hadn't stood up, you know, the way that I
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: thought he could have to protect us and make sure
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: we were good when it came to things that was
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: difficult in the household. And he was just man enough
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: to listen and to give us a perspective and to
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: give me a perspective, and we were able to talk.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: And so, you know, I celebrate him and everything that
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: I do. You know, that's my guy. The proudest part
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: of this book is just having his words like to
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: my son on there, you know, um, And because I
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: think dads deserved their flowers, you know, and they deserve
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: more than the big piece of chicken. What did you
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: learn about your relationship with your father? You know from
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: from the letters he sent you while you in prison? Man,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: you know, I learned that I had broke his heart,
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: you know, and that was that was crushing to me.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Like I was an honor rolled scholarship student, I was smart,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: very charismatic, like all the things you know, you were
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: wanted a child, and I really learned that I broke
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: his heart, and that was the hardest thing for me
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: to navigate, you know. As I've matured into a man,
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: and especially as I've grown into a dad, and you know,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: I think about moments with my son where I'm watching him,
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: you know, navigate life, and you know, I'm thinking of
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: all the promise that he has, you know, and I
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: think about my dad and what that experience was like
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: for him to watch his first biological son in an
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: environment where he couldn't protect, he couldn't help, he couldn't
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: do anything other than listen. And I remember this one
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: moment when when I was in solitary, I wrote this
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: letter home, and I told my dad. You know, I
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: was in solitary for a SOLAN officer, and you know,
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I told my dad, I said, you know, these people
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: said I'm never getting out of prison. And they said
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I'm never getting out of solitary. And I believed it
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: because my neighbor across me had been a solitary for
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: twenty years. My neighbor next door had been a solitary
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: for ten years. And I told my dad, I was like, man,
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I really just want you to go on
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: with your life and take care of Jay and you know,
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: take care of family, and I'll figure this out in here,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: you know. And my dad wrote me back, he was like,
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: I'd never leave your side, you know. And so I,
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: you know, as as a man, as a dad, now
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: I understand exactly what that meant, you know, And I
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: understand how heartbreaking it was for him to have to
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: be in a situation where the only thing he had
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: was the letters that he could send me to nurture
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: me and support me. And I read those letters over
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: and over. Man, doing my toughest moments, I would just
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: go back to those letters and read him. So when
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: when you when you went to prison. Did he feel
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: like he failed? Oh? Absolutely, it was. It was heart broke.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: He felt like it was his his faut. He felt
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: like there was something that he didn't do or something
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: that he missed. And I think, you know, all of
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: us as parents played Monday Monday Monday Morning quarterback where
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: we kind of go back like, you know, oh, if
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: I would have did this, the outcome would have been
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: doing um. But you know, we had a moment and
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I think it was nineteen ninety five, and this probably
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: was the hardest visit I've ever been on with my dad.
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: I was in solitary for something different at that time,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: and they had me shackled up, like the handcuffs on
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: but also the shackles on my feet, and I'm literally
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: walking up to the windom. I see my dad looking
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: at me, and I see him trying to hold it together,
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But it's hardest breaking. Like
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: I'm literally like shackled up, like I just got off
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: you know, a ship, you know what I'm saying, that
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: that held our ancestors in slavery, you know, and you know,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: just watching him process that and try to figure out
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: how to bring me a sense of piece, you know,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: the little jokes, the little conversation, you know, so that
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: doing it was doing that visit that we had the
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: conversation where he thought he was responsible and I was like,
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I was like, nah, Like you know, there was a
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: series of things that happened, like I was dealing with PTSD,
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: I got shot seventeen months before I ended up shooting
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and taking somebody's life. What about the art of writing,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: because you said your dad still writes letters to this day.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: What would you say to people, because it's not something
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: that people do too often, but it means so much.
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of the greatest forms of communication,
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: you know. I think the intimacy that's required for you
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: to really sit and be present and think about what
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: you want to share with another human being, it's just
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: so powerful, you know, because it allows you to reflect deeply.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: And you know when I when I first came up
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: with ideas I mentioned, I was thinking about writing like
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: all the sons I've encountered. But when I sat down
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: and I started writing, you know, I saw the faces
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: of my boys, you know, I heard their voices, and
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: I thought about little mannerisms and you know, the beauty
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: of who they are, you know, I closed the end
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: of it, you know, the book out with one of
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: the passage I think is one of the most beautiful,
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: and it just talks about how the swagger of their
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: you know, their nature and how they walk to earth,
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: you know. And I think it's so important for black boys,
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: especially in these times, to really hear that from their dads,
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: you know, and from other men, and that we have
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: to firmed them and lift them up. And so that
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: that intimacy of writing um, you know, it was really refreshing,
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: you know, and it was actually healing for me as well,
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: because what I realized is that we always here we
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: have to change the narrative around black men, and I
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: don't believe that to be true. I think we just
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: have to expand the narrative to include all of who
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: we are, like not just not just our negative moments.
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: You know. One of my mentors, Trabian Shorters, he always
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: talks about how we have to start asset framing each
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: other and thinking about what is the most positive aspects
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: of us. And in my experience, like all my friends
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: are dope dads, you know, the friends I talked about
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: in the book, my guy Fame, I think i'd tell
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: y'all he came to your car. So he brought that
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: big red caprice. Uh. My guy Calvin, who I met,
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: my best friend I met in prison. He was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: My guy Calvin, who did twenty four years for crime
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: he didn't commit. Uh, you know, he's been out now.
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: So these are these are my guys. They're like dope
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: as you know, my brothers, my cousins. So I'm used
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: to seeing men who show up, and so I just
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: think we had to expand a narrative and clue all
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: of us because if you think about this, right, what
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: if my story would have stopped at nineteen ninety one,
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: You know, I wouldn't be one of the only C
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: suite tech execs in Silicone Valley. I wouldn't be one
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: of the only formally incarcerating investors, a best selling author,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you know, a dad community builder like I wouldn't have
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: been none of these things of my narrative would have
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: stopped back when people was okay with defining me from
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: that moment. You know, I've lived tons of life in
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: the eleven years i've been out, you know, and so
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: my narrative has expanded and I've been able to contribute
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: in a real way. And so I think we have
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: to just expand a narrative for black men and especially
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: amongst each other, like seeing each other as more than
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: what we've accomplished, you know, seeing a humanity of who
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: we are and all we're capable of. And so that's
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: what you know, I really wanted to present in the book.
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: Shocker led us to the son of society, invitation to love, honesty,
• 57:01

  Speaker 1: been anywhere in a minute, all right now. Antonio Brown
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: was on the I Am Athlete Show with x NBA
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: starting Nick Young and former first round NFL draft pick
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: Jared Odrick, and they talked about his future in the
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: league and whether or not he has any regrets about
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: how he ended things with the Buccaneers. Here's what he
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: had to say about his mental health, because he said
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of fans and experts have been referring to
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: him as quote crazy. Everyone in the world got different
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: former reactions or what happened to him, and it's all
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: based upon where are you from, how you feel, and
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: no one only gonna know that regards of who you is.
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: The thing with football players, mental health and CT is
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: this these guys are willing to do whatever it takes
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: to make some obligator game. But they're in the midst
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: of those games, they're being mistreated. It's a lot of facts,
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: stuff that went on that may not been handled right.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: And then you and then you started your career on
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: a high. If we all players and we all saying
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: we care about mental health, why every time something happened
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: bad or how song react, Oh he's craziest song. Wrong
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: with his mental health. It's not wrong my mental health. Yeah.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: I think it's because a lot of folks are still
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: just learning about CT. So whenever they see, you know,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: any actions that they made, Deem is crazy, they already
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: automatically assuming just because he's a football player, you know,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: something's wrong with him and in that regard. And people
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: also don't know what goes on behind the scenes, so
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: all they see is what happened. They don't know what
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: led up to it. Like he said, yeah, and that's
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: how I feel through When I saw him on the sidelines,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, he looked like he just made a choice.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: To me, he didn't like he was having no mental breakdown.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: He just made a choice. I was just waiting to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: see what he had to say about it later before
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: you pass judgment. He was out all right now. Fat
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Joe was also on the Iromathlete podcast and he was
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: talking about basically fake friends and getting rid of them
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: and what his plan was. So we had fifty guys
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: with me, We all had the same Cabillac truck, we
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: all had changed. Everybody go to jail a bellam, I
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: pay for the lawyer. This, this, this, that one time
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: I said, all fifty of them together. We was at
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: the Rich Carlton in Puerto Rico, and I say, you listen, man,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: she ain't the same. I ain't got it. And I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: had it when I was checking out. Of the fifty
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: guys that was dead, only six of them saying, Yo,
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: if your dad broke, I'll be with you man, no
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: matter why. Every day those are six guys that's still
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: with me. Now. So God put that in my head
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: and say, yo, try these dudes, man, See they really
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: with you. They wasn't really with me all right. In
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: addition to that, he was talking about jay Z and
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the lyrics from Feeling It, the hardest lyric in hip
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: hop jay Z's first album, when he said something something
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: and we will be each other's crutches. So the point
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: is this, everybody want to be the guy everybody look
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: up to. There's no real strength in that. The strength
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: is everybody eating. So if one of us falls, we
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: can left him up. Whether your friend is a barber,
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: we want them to be the best barber in the world.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: We need to be the best so that when we
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: need each other, somebody's dead for right all then, And
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: that's the true power, the people power. Joe is absolutely right.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: But Joe, you can't something something that scripture. Well here's
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 1: you can't do that. If everybody in your click is rich,

• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: the things that he discussed is who, no matter what,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: is his favorite rapper? Can we play that jay Z song?

• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: why was I the other day? Hey, donkey to day
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: for Thursday, January twenty feth go to the forty sixth
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: President of the United States of America, Joe Biden, as
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: well as Arizona Senator Kursten Cinema and West Virginia Senator
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Mansion. These three are collectively responsible for the deaf
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party as we know it. Okay, Joe
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: Biden and other Democrats love to run around and say
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: we have to go out there and vote like democracy
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: depends on it. People are asking if we are witnessing
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: the death of democracy in America. Will guess what if
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 1: it is, which I believe it is. For some of us.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: These three are to blame, simple as that. Okay, if
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: you haven't heard, last night, Democrats came up short on
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: a last ditch held Mary type of effort to advance
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: the voting rights bill. Let me tell you something. You
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: all know that your uncle Charlotte is a diehard Dallas
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: Cowboy fan. Okay, and I shut up. And I really
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: thought that Sunday night, watching my Dallas Cowboys down twenty
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: three seventeen with fourteen seconds left in the game and
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: Dak Prescott running a draw play from the forty one
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: yard line instead of maybe getting one of possibly two
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: shots at the end zone off, I thought that was
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: gonna be the dumbest finish I would see this week.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: But President Biden said, hold my prove juice. All right now,
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep this as simple as possible. Since the
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: last summer nineteen states have enacted thirty three laws that
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: will make it hard for Americans to vote by Americans,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: I mean negas, all right, the Blacks, all right. All
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: these geop sponted state laws will suppress turnout by minority voters.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: This is an old tune, ladies and gentlemen, I write
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 1: voter suppression by the GOP against black people is the
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: greatest hit, all right, a golden od kids, trust me,
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: it would break off screaming records. It is the ed
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 1: sharing shape of view of American politics. All Right. President
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: Biden knew that going in and after the attempted coore
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: of this country on January six, that should have been
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: his first order of business, protecting voting rights. I've told
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: y'all so many different times on this here, radio and
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: on other platforms, on TV and everything else. There's three
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: or four things Joe Biden had to do to protect democracy. Okay,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: this morning, I'll give you three. One. Prosecute everyone involved
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: in the attempted cool of this country to the highest
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 1: extent of the law, not just the members of Vanilla
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: Isis who stormed the Capitol, but the members of Congress
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: who helped him to get rid of the filibusters. So
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: you can properly govern in three protect voting rights. Voting rights.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: But guess what, none of those things have happened. Okay.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: I never understood why anyone thought it would. I mean,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: if you have the GEOP passing, you know, the thirty
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: three laws in nineteen states and support a voter suppression,
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: why would anyone in their right mind think that you
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: could work with any of those people to pass voter
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: rights legislation. It makes no sense. Republican politicians are the
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: epitome of unity and group operation. They fall in line
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: with each other, and if one doesn't fall in line,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: they get the business okay. Last week on NPR, Donald
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Trump called Mitch McConnell a loser and blamed him for
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: the GOP senators who won't go along with his claims
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: that the election was stolen. Last week, he also caught
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: out Arizona Republican officials for accepting the twenty twenty election
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: results and called them rhinos Republicans in name only. Why
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: did Trump do that because those individuals blocked his agenda
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: kept him from getting done what he wanted to get done.
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: That's what you should do when people in your own
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: party are blocking your agenda. Now we all know Trump
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: is doing that for self serving reasons. So if you
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: can call out people in your party for self serving
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: reasons and everyone is fine with it, then why can't
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: President Biden call out Joe Mann and Kristen Cinema for
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 1: blocking his agenda when them blocking his agenda is actually
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: hurting the American people. Okay, if you ask me, it's
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: because he don't care Black people. Voting is simply not
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: a priority for Biden, matching our cinema, simple as that
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: this should have been a priority. He had to notice
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: day would come, but he didn't care. Why. My man
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Sean King said it best on Instagram last night, because
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden has never known to day in his life
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: what it means to have his voting rights threatened. All right,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: does a matter of white privilege for Biden. He failed
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: to give this issue the true energy and priority that
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 1: it deserved because he simply can't relate. Same with Cinema
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: in Mansion, they have never experienced their voting rights threatened,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: and they don't need you negroes to win elections, so
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: why should they care, well, Mansion in Cinema, why should
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: they care? Biden needs to care. By the way, we
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: knew that jig was in when last year GOP legislators
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 1: praised Mansion and Cinema for not getting Ridy to fill
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: abuster because without that they would be dead meat. Let
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: me play this for you again. I played it for
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 1: you a few times last year, but now that y'all
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: might be paying a little bit more attention. This is
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: GOP legislators praising Joe Mansion and Cinema but basically being
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: on their side. This was last year. Listen. Fortunately for
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: us to filibuster still in effect in the Senate. Without that,
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: he would be dead me. But thank goodness for Cinema
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: and Joe Mansion. Yeah, I just really thank you for
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: saying for the country. You know, all of you in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 1: the shroom, people at home on zoom. Let me tell
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: you right now, if you want to do one thing
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: to keep the republic aflow. Called Joe Mansion's office, called
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: Curson Cinemas on Cristin Cinema's office, be polite. He's like, Hi,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: I'm here to talk to us Senator Joe Mansin and
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: thank him. We're keeping the filibuster attacked. Mmmm. Those are
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 1: GOP legislators. Didn't even when they were being recorded, all right.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden gave a statement yesterday after the failed vote
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: to change the filibuster. He said, let me reach some
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: of it. He said, I am profoundly disappointed that the
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: Senate has failed to stand up for our democracy. I
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: am disappointed, but I am not deterred. We will continue
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: to advance necessary legis slation and push for Senate procedural
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: changes that will protect the fundamental right to vote. End quote.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he's old or maybe
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: he really doesn't care, but I never hear the sense
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: of urgency. It's literally always more urgency for us to
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: go out there and vote than it is for elected
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: officials to protect voting rights. All you're about to hear
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: for the next however, many months before the midterms, is
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 1: how we have to have the largest voter turnout in
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: the history of the midterms in order to protect democracy.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: How we have to vote like democracy depends on it,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: but they never ever govern like democracy depends on it.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: You are gonna hear you have to go out there
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: and vote, because if votes didn't matter, why are they
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: fighting so hard to take them from you? Yes, that
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: is true, but you know what else matters when you're
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: an elected official getting things done. When you're an elected
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 1: official who keeps campaign promises, you want me to get
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: up and fight through all these various voter suppression efforts,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: in some cases literally fight to keep an administration in
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: that had done what they said they were going to do,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: not keeping campaign promises as a form of voter suppression. Okay,
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: now let me tell you something. I'm gonna vote in
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: the midterms and the presidential election. I don't know who
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: I'm voting for. I don't even know what I'm voting
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: for yet, but I'm going to vote. Okay, But if
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: you don't want to, I understand. And for all the
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: folks out there who are going to push people to vote,
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: like actively go out there and campaign for folks, what
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 1: are you going to tell them? That's what I want
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 1: to know. What are you gonna tell them? The Biden
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: administration has armed you with nothing. Ten thousand for student
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: loans that didn't happen. George Floyd Policing Act didn't happen,
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: Bill Back Better didn't happen. Okay, voting rights didn't happen.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: All right, I know it's even a year, but none
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 1: of those things have happened. But voting rights, the cornerstone
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: of our democracy, didn't happen. And it's because the real
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: leaders of this country, Joe Mansion and Christen Cinema Democrats, allegedly,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: it's because they are false flagging. And since they are
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: false flagging, are the Democrats gonna attempt to run them
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: off the set. Are they going to run someone to
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 1: challenge Joe mansion seat? What about christin cinema? I don't
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 1: even know how that works, but I know when someone
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: not really in your gang and they fall flagging you,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: let it be known. In all right, they won't even
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: let it be known. They won't even call them out
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: on how they help blocking progress because Democrats are willing
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: to try every political strategy except honesty and courage. The
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: moral of the story is, and I really need to
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 1: take a drink of water before I say this, because
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 1: it's really been on my mind. The moral of the
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: story is what I really want to say on this
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: radio this morning. This is Nad McKelvey, Charlomagne and God talking.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: I just want Joe Madison to eat. Joe Madison is
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: a radio personality on Serious XM, and him and some
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: pastors they went on a hunger scrack until voting rights
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: was passed in Congress. I need you all to go
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 1: get some shrimp and gritch right now. Okay, Joe Madison
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: hasn't eaten in like sixty plus days, no solid foods
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: until Congress passes voting rights. That's what Joe Madison said,
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: Joe is time to eat. I don't know that brother,
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: don't think I ever met him. But when I saw
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: him on MSNBC over the holidays and I saw him
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: saying he was on a hunger scrike until they passed
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: bolting rights in Congress, first thing I thought was, Man,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: those white folks don't care if you starve. Okay. Oh
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: it was around the holidays when I saw him too,
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: I said, damn, this is a hard time to not eat.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: And he's he's staking he's not eating on whether voting
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: rights get passed. Listen, I applaud y'all faith in these people.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: But that Democrat diet, that fash is fast. It isn't healthy.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: So please go eat, brother Joe Madison, and all the
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: pastors who went on a hunger scrick and tell volting
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: rights pass, please go eat. Get a big meal this morning,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: some scrimping grits, all right, maybe some corn, beef, hash
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and eggs. Okay. I've really been thinking about y'all. I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 1: promised you last night. That was the first thing on
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 1: my mind. I was in a few group chats telling
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 1: folks that know y'all to please tell those brothers to
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 1: go eat. I would even cash at them some change
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 1: for some breakfast or some lunch this morning, because voting rights,
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: legislation and democracy may have died on the Senate floor
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: last night, but we can't let y'all die from starvation.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: Two all right, so please let remy ma give President
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden, Senator Christen Cinema, and Senator Joe Manchin the
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 1: biggest he had. He ha he ha, you stupid mother?
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: Are you dumb? I'm sure this won't be the last

  Speaker 1: for asking. Morning everybody in stej Envy, Angela, Yee, Charlomagne,
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: the guy. We are the breakfast club. It's time for asking. Hello.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 1: Who's this this Joe Detroit? How's it going? And what
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 1: I've done? Man? What's your question for? Easy? Yeah? Quick questions.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: So I'm I'm thinking this girl and she pretty much
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: gave me the ultimatum, like, look, and we don't. If
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: I can't move in, we can't be together no more?
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: So what should I do? Should I? Should? I stand
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: the situation? I mean, I want to be with it,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: but it's like that you don't want to move in.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: That's just moving too fast to me, you know. But
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: if she gives you an ultimatum and it's not something
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: you want to do, you have to say no. How
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: long you've been dating it though, about a year and now? Yeah?
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 1: And that doesn't matter though, because if you don't want
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: to move in with somebody, and she gives you an ultimatum,
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 1: I saying, I can't be with you unless we move
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 1: in together. You can't compromise that. I mean, that's a
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 1: big deal sharing space, and I think that you know
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: what's the next move after that? If you're not ready,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: you can't let somebody force you into something. Yeah. See,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: I'm coming through in the same way. Like it was
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: like one of those things. The first time she's going
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: to my house. I woke up, she's going through all
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 1: my stuff? Like what she was like, this is what
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: I do. She's like, look, you know date needs. This
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: is what I'm going through your stuff. We gotta live
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: together otherwise I'll find another dude to replace you. I'm like, wow,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: well it sounds like she needs a place to stay.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate that. Yeah, and imagine somebody
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: even telling you that that sounds awful to tell you, Oh,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: if you don't let me move in with you, I'll
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: find somebody else who will. That's not the type of
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: relationship you want to be in. Actually, I thought it
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: was one of those situations where she was just, you know,
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: basically playing hard to get or just I don't even know. Yeah,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: that sounds like some red flags. And let me tell
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: you something. If you're moving with somebody who you don't
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: want to be with, you can't even find peace at home.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: Imagine you don't even feel like coming home. She's going
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: through your stuff and she's questioning everything that you do.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: That's you know, home is like your peace you're having.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: You don't even want to have to deal with that.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I appreciate the advice much. Love y'all,
• 1:17:35

• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: name is James, James. What's up? What's your question for? Easy? Hey? Man?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: First of all, I just want to say, man, I
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: really really love you guys. You guys, do I listen
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: to you? Guys all the time, every day. But UM,
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 1: basically I just need some advice from going through some
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 1: relationship troubles with my girl. UM start on the New year,
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: she told me that she's feeling depressed and she doesn't
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: want to be together. She feels like she needs to
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 1: be by herself. And it's just really hard for me
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: because I feel the complete opposite. I really love this
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 1: woman and I devoted my whole life to her, and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 1: I really thought she wasn't gonna be I was going
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 1: to spend the rest of my life with. So I
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: just need help getting through this man, Because well, if
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: you love her and she's expressed to you that she's depressed,
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: then you have to support how she is, if you
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 1: really love and care about her. Um, have you seen
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 1: the signs of depression that she's talking about. I don't.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 1: I don't like I see that. Sometimes it feels like
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: she struggles with what she's going on right now in life,
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 1: Like like she just doesn't know the career that she's doing,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: if it's going off right, if if everything that we did,
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 1: I guess we rushed into everything. We're both young. She's
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: twenty six, I'm twenty thirty, Like I don't know it's
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: that please into a role of everything. But like I
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, Like, you know, I have to
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 1: support her, but it's still hard when I genuinely don't
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: want to be away from her and I love her,
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And you know that's hard. And the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: best thing that you can do though is be patient.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: Right if it's meant to be and if you love
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: her and she does truly love you, we have to
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 1: be able to stand as individuals before we can be
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: in a successful relationship. And so I think for her,
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: she needs to build herself up and do what she
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: needs to do. All you can do is offer her
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 1: your support and help. And when I mean help, I
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: mean like maybe directed to some resources that you feel
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 1: like might be good. Let her know that you care
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 1: about her, whatever decision that it is that she makes.
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: Let her know that you're there for her. You can
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 1: be a friend right now, you know, like you said,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: and you agree that you feel like you rushed into things. Yeah, okay,
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: I mean under the circumstances that we were in. You know,
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: I agree, like she had just gotten out of a
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: bad relationship, right and her, and yeah, I feel like
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 1: that could play a role into everything. Yeah, so she's
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: not completely healed from that. Is she getting some type
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: of help? Um, honestly, I don't. I don't know. I
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: don't think so, just because she's always so busy. She's
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 1: in she's in r ND school, trying to get her
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: r end. She's currently in open so she works all
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 1: night overnight, and then in the morning she's at school
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: and then she has to sleep, you know at some point,
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 1: right well, any nice gestures that you can do for her,
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 1: whether that's like sending her a breakfast or you know,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 1: just little nice things, maybe writing her nice messages, letting
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: her know, but without being too pushy, because she has
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 1: expressed to you she's going through something. She's told you
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 1: that she needs space, so you should respect that. But
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 1: you can also, at the same time try to be
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: supportive as a friend, because if you care about her,
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: you care about her health and well being as well. No, yeah,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: I understand, Thank you, I appreciate it. Okay, I want
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 1: to say it again. I really, I really love you guys.

• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: also invested in Dropbox, Left, rob My Head, coin Base,
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: and things like that. So shout out to bomb for Nazil.
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: That's amazing, right. I think that does encourage other people too,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: because it is really your way to get it rich
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: is to invest in these tech companies. And I know
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: you may not be able to get in on that
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: ground floor, but we've been talking so much about stocks
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 1: and investments, so this is just one example of things
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: that are possible. Now. One thing Evan, you just saw
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 1: was TI and you said he was doing stand up comedy.
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen something the Jasmine Brand posted that. They said
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: t I was doing a stand up comedy last night.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't hear it or just seen
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: enough thought it was interesting. Oh yeah, So that's not
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 1: an easy thing to do, though, We've seen a lot
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: of people hit that stage. So what I want to
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 1: do is do we have the audio because this is
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 1: something that just got posted on the Jasmine brand a
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: few months ago. Back. No, it's no audio. A few
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: minutes ago you met. Oh yeah, a few minutes ago.
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: So they said he just added stand up to his
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: resume and he's just getting started, so that should be
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: something interesting to see now. Bobby Schmirder was on million
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: dollars worth of Game and they had a welcome home
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: party for him. I know y'all saw this audio. Seemed
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: like he was having an amazing time dancing with Gillian Willow,
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 1: he fell off the couch and everything. But he also
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 1: talked about the first thing that he did when he
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 1: came home, how was your welcoming home? Was? It? Was
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 1: it like we're gonna be hunted like ten bitches that
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 1: but like t after like six mines the jet, like
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 1: two bitches smoked. Well, you just came home eating rolla
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 1: right on the jet. Six years bro, six years from
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 1: ain't nobody coming, Ain't nobody doing a half a decade
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: and not come home eating? No. I think there's a
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 1: bitch minimum. I don't know. I think it's like a
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 1: two bitch minimum. You gotta stop believing. Want to clue
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: bum and dollars worth? That looked like a fun interview. Yeah,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: all right now. Taja posted this woman named Taja Riley
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: and she was talking about the super Bowl halftime show.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: She posted a message that she had received and it says, hello, Taja,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: my husband told me that the Super Bowl is recruiting
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: volunteers to dance for no pay. I also heard that
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 1: production of the super Bowl halftime performance reached out asking
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: if they had any dances on their roster who would
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: be interested in volunteering and performing for no pay. I'm
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: surprised that Black La actually considered an email their roster
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: of the super Bowl situation. They should have said no,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: especially because black was originally the main agency with an
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: audition invite for Fatima and Adrian is paid dancers we
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: saw the clothes call on their Instagram. This is all
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: bad now. Riley posted this on her page. Agent said,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't have to explain, but the super
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 1: Bowl is the most profitable global sporting event on any
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 1: given year. Why be cheap, especially on such an incredibly
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 1: important performance honoring and showcasing African American talent? What do
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 1: you guys think about that? With the super Bowl asking
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 1: for people to just basically volunteer to dance for the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 1: halftime show and not paying the dancers. I mean they
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 1: can ask for whatever they want. You ain't got to
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, they should pay to people though. You know,
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 1: it's interesting, right, like because it's an opportunity, and if
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 1: you're like an up and coming dance troop, you know
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 1: what I mean, you might take advantage of that opportunity.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 1: Alien's eyes on you. It's kind of it's an investment
• 1:26:42
  Speaker 1: in yourself. I'm not mad at it, you know, listen
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 1: as I get it. It's business, right, so you always
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 1: gonna try to get somebody hit too something for free.
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 1: But it is an opportunity, right. You can pay them
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 1: a little something though, because as much money as they make,
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 1: at least a day raid, But do they make that
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 1: transportation If doctor Drake face for his own seting, I
• 1:27:02
  Speaker 1: thought the artists pay for their own sets and everybody
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking about that how much the super Bowl makes,
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 1: but they're there. I think traditionally the super Bowl pays
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 1: for your production and all of that, but they don't
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 1: pay the artists because you get streams and you get
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 1: all kinds of promotion from that. I thought we read
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 1: something he said he's paying for his own But traditionally
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 1: what they do is they do pay for the poet. Yeah,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 1: super Bowl don't care about that. They don't give it
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 1: that budget, whatever that budget is, and the rest is
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 1: on that game. Listen. I'm a starting believing and recognize
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 1: an opportunity when it's not a paycheck attached to it. So,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I wish they were offering some money,
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 1: but if they're not, I don't know if that would
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 1: keep me from doing it. Just depends on, you know,
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 1: how much visibility I want. I guess y'all do less
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 1: for clout nowadays. I know, but this requires like rehearsals.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's real work. The super Bowl at time
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 1: show It's really about what you want, all right, we
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 1: do have we do have a clip of TI doing
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: stand up. By the way, well, a friend from the
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 1: house is six. Don't care ladies. Ladies cheap way better
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: than us, So don't get into the day. Okay, cheap
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 1: cheating is a big game anyway. Okay, hold on, that's
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 1: your okay, Ta ta, that's fine coming on a podcast.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 1: But no, not to stand up. If that's expeditiously live,
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 1: I'm with it. You're doing stand up, you gotta sit
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 1: down town. I just flow into town and tight. That's
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 1: my guy. But if that's expediciously live, great. But if
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 1: that's you're doing stand up, leave it the little dudeha man,
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 1: all right, that is mercy. I gotta starts somewhere. No,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 1: you don't not when you now, I'm saying, if you
• 1:29:01
