0:23
Speaker 6: I'm feeling good.
0:25
Speaker 8: How's your voice?
0:26
Speaker 9: I'm still trying to get over this cold. Got this
0:28
Speaker 9: cold last week.
0:28
Speaker 8: It's been a couple days now, right?
0:30
Speaker 9: It's been about six, seven days now.
0:32
Speaker 1: It's almost gone.
0:33
Speaker 6: I'm not 100%.
0:33
Speaker 1: I'm at like 70%.
0:34
Speaker 9: And that's the problem when you have especially young kids.
0:38
Speaker 9: So if you have young kids, you know that when
0:40
Speaker 9: they go to school, if they are in school, my
0:43
Speaker 9: four-year-old's in school, she always comes back with something. I
0:45
Speaker 9: would say every couple of weeks, she has something. It's
0:49
Speaker 9: either a pink eye. It's either air infection. She has something.
0:54
Speaker 9: And my four-year-old still sleeps in the bed.
0:57
Speaker 1: With me and my wife.
0:57
Speaker 9: She's actually right in between us. And she cuddles with
1:01
Speaker 9: me every night. And nine times out of ten, if
1:03
Speaker 9: she got it, I got it.
1:05
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
1:06
Speaker 6: OVO Eli telling everybody up here that you got them sick.
1:09
Speaker 9: I probably did. Because I probably was the first. I
1:10
Speaker 9: probably was the start of it. And I do everything.
1:13
Speaker 9: I take all types of vitamins, vitamin C, all types
1:15
Speaker 9: of things I can do to possibly make sure I
1:17
Speaker 9: don't have this cold.
1:18
Speaker 1: But it happens. There's nothing I can do. So I
1:20
Speaker 1: just got to let it go through the system, Pauls.
1:22
Speaker 1: Nothing I can do. But anyway, let's get the show cracking.
1:24
Speaker 1: Today on the show, we have DaVinci.
1:26
Speaker 7: DaVinci.
1:27
Speaker 9: Now, you know, Da Vinci was in the news recently
1:29
Speaker 9: talking about how Blacks vs. Caribbeans work and just a
1:34
Speaker 9: host of things. So we're going to be talking to
1:35
Speaker 9: Da Vinci, clearing a lot of that stuff up. He
1:36
Speaker 9: just joined the cast of Chicago Fire. So we're going
1:39
Speaker 9: to talk to him. And also, Mayor Eddie Melton. He
1:42
Speaker 9: is the mayor of Gary, Indiana. And if you don't know,
1:44
Speaker 9: a couple of, I would say about maybe six to
1:47
Speaker 9: eight weeks ago, Indiana Gary, Indiana, the power was out
1:50
Speaker 9: for days.
1:51
Speaker 1: I think maybe even weeks. Can you imagine that?
1:55
Speaker 9: At this day and age, not having power, not for
1:58
Speaker 9: one day, but days. Your food, there's no way to
2:01
Speaker 9: refrigerate your food. There's no cooling.
2:04
Speaker 1: It's just no heating. It's no nothing.
2:06
Speaker 9: So we're going to talk to the mayor, Eddie Milton.
2:09
Speaker 9: But let's get the show cracking. When we come back,
2:10
Speaker 9: we got front page news. And, of course, get it
2:12
Speaker 9: off your chest.
2:13
Speaker 10: 800-585-1051.
2:14
Speaker 9: I know them Eagles fans are pissed off this morning.
2:17
Speaker 6: Yeah, they had a rough night.
2:18
Speaker 9: They had a rough night. But my Giants are still
2:21
Speaker 9: number one in the division, so I'm excited about that.
2:22
Speaker 9: What we saw on the show, Wade?
2:23
Speaker 6: When I started the show with Hov, Yes. Starting the
2:26
Speaker 6: Super Bowl.
2:27
Speaker 1: Now, I just want to say, I said this last week.
2:29
Speaker 6: What's up?
2:30
Speaker 1: I said, Hov, this is the right year for him
2:32
Speaker 1: to do the Super Bowl.
2:33
Speaker 6: Why?
2:34
Speaker 9: I said, all these shows that he's done in Yankee Stadium,
2:36
Speaker 9: that he's done in London, that he's done in Paris,
2:38
Speaker 9: that he's done in L.A., that's kind of his rehearsal
2:40
Speaker 9: for the Super Bowl.
2:42
Speaker 1: They said, nah, Hov ain't going to do it. It's
2:43
Speaker 1: too much criticism.
2:44
Speaker 9: I said, this is the right time for Hov. And
2:47
Speaker 9: it looks like they just announced Hov will be doing
2:49
Speaker 9: the Super Bowl. Lauren will break all that down. But
2:51
Speaker 9: let's start off with some Hov.
2:51
Speaker 6: What we got? I like that.
2:55
Speaker 1: The Breakfast Club, get your ass up.
2:56
Speaker 8: Good morning. Morning, everybody.
2:57
Speaker 9: It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
3:01
Speaker 9: The Breakfast Club. Let's get into front page news. Now,
3:05
Speaker 9: we start off with sports last night. And Monday Night Football,
3:09
Speaker 9: the Dallas Cowboys beat the Eagles 38-21. Now, In the
3:14
Speaker 9: East Division, I'm still number one. The Giants are still
3:16
Speaker 9: number one. I just want to put that out there. Now,
3:18
Speaker 9: last night, the Atlanta Dream lost to the Valkyries 64-55.
3:22
Speaker 1: Now, the Valkyries defeated the Atlanta now.
3:24
Speaker 9: It's game five, so the Valkyries have taken a 3-2
3:26
Speaker 9: series lead and just one win away from the championship. Now,
3:30
Speaker 9: Major League Baseball, if you're watching the World Series, the
3:34
Speaker 9: Brewers beat the Rays 10-1. What's up, Mimi?
3:38
Speaker 11: Good morning, MV. How you doing?
3:40
Speaker 1: Oh, man, your voice sound like mine.
3:42
Speaker 11: I know, I know, I know. We're going to get
3:43
Speaker 11: through this.
3:44
Speaker 12: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
3:47
Speaker 12: largest injury law firm. So we start this morning with
3:50
Speaker 12: an arrest in the mass shooting near Florida.
3:53
Speaker 11: A & M FAMU during homecoming weekend.
3:56
Speaker 12: Police in Tallahassee have arrested a 15-year-old. His name is
4:00
Speaker 12: Anthony Rivers III. He's accused of opening fire Saturday night
4:04
Speaker 12: behind FAMU's football stadium after the homecoming game. Yesterday, Rivers,
4:09
Speaker 12: he appeared before a judge while his mother joined the
4:12
Speaker 12: hearing via video conference.
4:14
Speaker 13: Let's listen.
4:15
Speaker 1: You are here on 11 counts of attempted homicide. Another
4:21
Speaker 1: judge has a lot.
4:23
Speaker 11: This is a lot.
4:24
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask.
4:26
Speaker 6: You to go on mute.
4:27
Speaker 1: I believe that probable cause has been established by another judge.
4:31
Speaker 14: That may be his mother, yeah.
4:33
Speaker 1: Are you Mr.
4:34
Speaker 15: Rivers' mother?
4:34
Speaker 1: You're on mute. It is his mother.
4:41
Speaker 12: Yeah, so again, 11 people were shot, including six children.
4:45
Speaker 12: The youngest, again, was just 11, and another person was
4:49
Speaker 12: injured trying to escape, a grandmother.
4:51
Speaker 11: Six victims have been hospitalized.
4:53
Speaker 12: Police believe the shooting started with an argument between people
4:56
Speaker 12: who knew each other, but none of the victims were
4:59
Speaker 12: believed to be intended targets. He faces 11 counts of
5:02
Speaker 12: attempted second degree murder and a gun charge.
5:05
Speaker 11: And prosecutors say he will be charged as an adult.
5:08
Speaker 1: So damn sad. So damn sad.
5:10
Speaker 4: That's a temporary emotion leading to a permanent consequence. I
5:15
Speaker 4: guarantee he woke up this morning regretting the decision.
5:18
Speaker 6: He made to pull out that pistol. 15 years old?
5:20
Speaker 6: Lord have mercy. He's about to spend the rest of
5:22
Speaker 6: his life in prison.
5:23
Speaker 9: Yeah, you would think, why would a 15-year-old need a pistol, right?
5:28
Speaker 1: Why would a 15-year-old need a pistol?
5:29
Speaker 6: No, I would not think that. I was born in 1978.
5:31
Speaker 6: I am 48 years old. I've been seeing this my
5:35
Speaker 6: whole life.
5:36
Speaker 4: I was a 15-year-old running around with guns for no
5:39
Speaker 4: goddamn reason.
5:39
Speaker 10: I wasn't.
5:40
Speaker 1: That's just sad.
5:41
Speaker 12: And for the third time, former FBI Director James Comey,
5:46
Speaker 12: he is facing criminal charges, but the Justice Department... they
5:49
Speaker 12: may have missed the deadline to prosecute him. So prosecutors,
5:52
Speaker 12: they are pushing two charges under the Espionage Act, accusing
5:56
Speaker 12: Comey of leaking information about his conversations with President Trump
6:00
Speaker 12: at the New York Times. But the problem is the
6:02
Speaker 12: 10-year deadline to bring those charges expired earlier this month.
6:06
Speaker 12: So the Justice Department, they filed the paperwork to try
6:08
Speaker 12: and extend that deadline, but there is no official indictment. Now,
6:12
Speaker 12: Comey is challenging the move, and now a judge will
6:15
Speaker 12: decide whether the case will move forward. And just to
6:18
Speaker 12: refresh your memory, Trump fired Comey back in 2017. Comey
6:23
Speaker 12: also faces separate charges over a social media post that
6:27
Speaker 12: prosecutors say threatened President Trump. But the Justice Department said
6:30
Speaker 12: this case is ongoing and they are investigating. So a
6:36
Speaker 12: third attempt there. And with just one week, guys, to
6:39
Speaker 12: the midterm elections, more than 30 million Americans have already
6:43
Speaker 12: cast their ballots. Now, that's according to the University of
6:45
Speaker 12: Florida's Election Lab, which tracks early voting around the country.
6:49
Speaker 12: So Texas, they're up 74% at the same point since
6:54
Speaker 12: last year, the election time.
6:56
Speaker 11: In Maine, they're up 39%. Ohio, 30%.
6:59
Speaker 12: Now, these numbers show us how many people have voted,
7:02
Speaker 12: but not who they voted for. But here's what people
7:04
Speaker 12: are saying that are most important to them.
7:07
Speaker 1: Let's listen.
7:08
Speaker 7: It's bad.
7:09
Speaker 11: I feel like we have no control anymore.
7:11
Speaker 14: Like, no one cares anymore.
7:13
Speaker 12: And we're just sitting out here getting whatever they feed us.
7:17
Speaker 5: I've been cutting on some certain foods because now it's
7:19
Speaker 5: like I got to decide if it's my rent or food.
7:22
Speaker 8: I feel like I can't afford anything and I work
7:24
Speaker 8: all the time and I don't think that makes any sense.
7:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
7:30
Speaker 12: So and President Trump over the weekend, he says that
7:33
Speaker 12: while Americans may be paying more at the pump, oil
7:36
Speaker 12: companies are making a lot of money.
7:38
Speaker 11: Let's listen to that.
7:41
Speaker 16: The United States oil and gas business is making hundreds
7:44
Speaker 16: of billions of dollars. We're making hundreds and hundreds of billions,
7:47
Speaker 16: trillions of dollars. But my people said, please don't mention that, sir,
7:52
Speaker 16: because people are paying a little higher. That number is
7:55
Speaker 16: going to.
7:56
Speaker 1: Come way down.
7:57
Speaker 16: But what we've done for this country, we're making money
8:00
Speaker 16: like this country has never made before.
8:03
Speaker 14: He said his own team said, don't say that.
8:05
Speaker 10: Yes.
8:06
Speaker 4: Is that the same speech where he said, that's going
8:07
Speaker 4: to be the headline? The headline is going to be,
8:10
Speaker 4: you know, Donald Trump says gas prices are up, but
8:13
Speaker 4: it don't matter. We're getting rich or something like that.
8:15
Speaker 4: I'm paraphrasing here, but something along those lines.
8:18
Speaker 6: He don't care about y'all.
8:20
Speaker 17: Okay.
8:20
Speaker 18: Clearly.
8:21
Speaker 6: Not even a little bit.
8:24
Speaker 17: Yeah.
8:24
Speaker 12: So, you know, while he says that, a lot of
8:26
Speaker 12: people are saying, I don't feel that. I still cannot
8:28
Speaker 12: afford my rent groceries and everything else. So, Voters will decide,
8:32
Speaker 12: you know, which party controls the Senate and this House. That, again,
8:37
Speaker 12: Election Day is November 3rd. And we will continue to
8:40
Speaker 12: watch and bring you more stuff upcoming for the midterm elections.
8:43
Speaker 12: But coming up at 7, a scary moment aboard a
8:46
Speaker 12: plane after a possible hijacking threat forces the pilot to
8:49
Speaker 12: turn around. We'll tell you what happened and what sparked
8:52
Speaker 12: the scare. And of course, this hour is sponsored by

9:39
Speaker 6: Like Mimi wasn't on a plane. Like Mimi wasn't around.

Speaker 1: Mimi ain't wearing no damn clothes. She don't have no coat.
9:44
Speaker 1: Shoulders always out.
9:45
Speaker 6: And I don't care.
9:45
Speaker 9: I remember Angela Rye came up here like, what, two
9:48
Speaker 9: weeks ago, and she was the first one that was sick.
9:49
Speaker 1: Oh, I didn't even know she was sick. I hugged

10:02
Speaker 6: You know, I wasn't going to talk crap.

Speaker 3: Because I know that the Eagles team is decimated, right?
10:07
Speaker 3: But then I went to the link last night. I
10:09
Speaker 3: went down to the link to watch the game at tailgate.
10:11
Speaker 3: If they would have won Charlemagne, oh, you should have
10:14
Speaker 3: seen the way they was acting. You would have thought
10:16
Speaker 3: that they was in.
10:17
Speaker 6: The Super Bowl. Well, it is.
10:18
Speaker 4: Whenever they beat the Cowboys, whenever anybody beats the Cowboys,
10:21
Speaker 4: it is their Super Bowl.
10:22
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't feel bad about whooping their butts last night.
10:26
Speaker 3: I don't care.
10:26
Speaker 1: Oh, y'all won. The Cowboys won last night. The Cowboys won.
10:29
Speaker 6: That's what's up.
10:30
Speaker 1: That's what's up. Congratulations.

Speaker 3: man in forever. You know, I hope he having a
11:01
Speaker 3: great day this morning, but he accusing me of getting
11:04
Speaker 3: him banned from the Breakfast Club. Apparently, I'm the Breakfast
11:06
Speaker 3: Club Thanos, y'all. I snap my fingers and get bitches banned, apparently,
11:11
Speaker 3: not knowing that he was threatening Charlamagne Tha God, and
11:14
Speaker 3: that's why he don't call up anymore.
11:16
Speaker 6: Oh, that's what happened?
11:17
Speaker 1: He threatened you?

Speaker 3: I mean, but I remember he was threatening you and
11:21
Speaker 3: I ain't heard from him since.
11:22
Speaker 6: I think that is what happened.
11:23
Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know why. That might have happened. But

Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club Avengers is banding together.
11:28
Speaker 6: Well, you got to watch your mouth. Well, thank you, Trav.

11:36
Speaker 17: Bye.

11:43
Speaker 6: If Metro don't trust you, I'm going to shoot you
11:45

12:12
Speaker 17: Charlotte.
12:12
Speaker 6: What's up, brother?
12:13

12:19

12:23
Speaker 18: now they want to bring down the gas prices.
12:26
Speaker 6: His phone going in and out.
12:27
Speaker 4: Basically, what he's saying is y'all need to go out
12:29
Speaker 4: there and vote because they don't give a damn about y'all.
12:32
Speaker 6: That's right.
12:33
Speaker 1: Get it off your chest.
12:35
Speaker 6: 800-585-1051.
12:36
Speaker 9: If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's
12:38
Speaker 9: The Breakfast Club.
12:39

18:51
Speaker 9: the L.A. was rehearsals to me for the Super Bowl, right?
18:54
Speaker 9: To see what songs people like. It makes sense. That's
18:56
Speaker 9: what it makes sense. And this is, what, the 30th

19:01
Speaker 4: So you're telling me no party in the U.S.A.? So,

19:13
Speaker 1: They put a commercial out.
19:16
Speaker 22: Yes When the commercial came out he's of course, you
19:19
Speaker 22: know he's sitting in the seats and it says the
19:22
Speaker 22: goat is out the bag and there's a bunch of
19:24
Speaker 22: goats with him sitting in the seats right in the
19:26
Speaker 22: stadium and People were counting the goats and people were like, oh,
19:29
Speaker 22: I see 10.
19:29
Speaker 13: I see 11.
19:30
Speaker 22: So they're thinking that these are the number of people
19:32
Speaker 22: that he might bring out on the stage.
19:33
Speaker 4: We're not going to start that. We're not going to
19:37
Speaker 4: start who he bringing out. It's Jay-Z at the Super Bowl.
19:40
Speaker 4: That's what we're here to see. Same thing with y'all idiots.
19:42
Speaker 13: Who be saying stuff like... Oh, now you know Jay-Z
19:44
Speaker 13: gonna be at the Super Bowl.
19:45
Speaker 6: Well, you just said it. Uh-oh.
19:46
Speaker 4: Same thing with you idiots who say things like, oh,
19:50
Speaker 4: I only go to Jay-Z shows to see who he's
19:52
Speaker 4: gonna bring out.
19:53
Speaker 6: That's stupid. Since when? Since when did y'all start doing this?
19:55
Speaker 1: Since when did that happen?
19:56
Speaker 22: Y'all know when I say that. That shit's hating. People
19:58
Speaker 22: really get mad.
19:59
Speaker 9: They be like, oh, he only brought this person out.
20:01
Speaker 9: Who you coming to see?
20:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
20:02
Speaker 6: Are you coming to see Hov? Yeah.
20:06
Speaker 21: But it was like when he did the three nights
20:07
Speaker 21: here in New York because people was like... They went
20:10
Speaker 21: Friday and Saturday, but a lot of people was like,
20:12
Speaker 21: oh my God, I should have went Sunday because everybody.
20:15
Speaker 1: That he brought out.
20:15
Speaker 6: Nobody knew he was bringing out all the people on Sunday.
20:18
Speaker 21: I know, I know, but that's what I'm saying. Until Monday,
20:21
Speaker 21: when we found out that all the people that.
20:23
Speaker 6: He brought Sunday. It actually was Monday, by the way.
20:25
Speaker 17: Yes.
20:25
Speaker 22: Because even Friday, Beyonce, with Beyonce coming out to the.
20:29
Speaker 6: Nobody saw that coming. Yeah, that surprised the heck out
20:32
Speaker 6: of us.
20:33
Speaker 9: But for Reasonable Doubt, when he said he was doing
20:36
Speaker 9: that album, I assumed that he was going to, everybody
20:39
Speaker 9: on that album was going to be on that album
20:40
Speaker 9: because that was an 0-2 Reasonable Doubt.
20:42
Speaker 1: So I would say for that.
20:43
Speaker 6: One, absolutely positive. Same thing with Blueprint, I thought that.
20:46
Speaker 4: Well, listen, so we're not getting Miley Cyrus flowers.
20:48
Speaker 1: Yo, shut your ass up, man. That's what I'm telling you.
20:51
Speaker 6: I guess we can give Jay-Z his.
20:52
Speaker 1: Okay, fine. We'll take Jay-Z.
20:55
Speaker 6: I'll settle for Jay-Z. If you insist, Roc Nation. I
20:59
Speaker 6: will settle for Jay-Z.
21:01
Speaker 22: That'll go down on Valentine's Day in L.A. You know
21:06
Speaker 22: what's so crazy?
21:06
Speaker 6: Hold on, though.
21:08
Speaker 4: Not only is it Valentine's Day, the next day is
21:10
Speaker 4: President's Day, so that means there ain't no school. We
21:12
Speaker 4: always say the day after the Super Bowl we wish
21:14
Speaker 4: was a holiday. I cannot remember a time when there
21:17
Speaker 4: was a Super Bowl on Sunday and then there was
21:19
Speaker 4: a holiday the next day.
21:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, we always have to be there.
21:21
Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
21:21
Speaker 13: It sounds like you've been planning this trip to L.A.
21:23
Speaker 1: For some time.
21:24
Speaker 6: I don't even know what you're talking about.
21:26
Speaker 9: But we have to come to work anyway because we
21:27
Speaker 9: got to talk about it.
21:28
Speaker 7: No, we don't.
21:28
Speaker 6: We off on President's Day. That's a federal holiday.
21:30
Speaker 1: It would be great. We was off on Juneteenth. We
21:32
Speaker 1: can't hear.
21:33
Speaker 13: I was about to say.
21:34
Speaker 6: I'd probably be in L.A.
21:36
Speaker 1: Exactly.
21:37
Speaker 14: We know.
21:37
Speaker 13: You booked your ticket four months ago. So are we
21:40
Speaker 13: getting a new album?
21:41
Speaker 6: I have no idea.
21:43
Speaker 1: But I will say this, though, right?
21:44
Speaker 9: I've been to, what, two or three Super Bowls, and
21:46
Speaker 9: watching a performance at the Super Bowl is not the
21:48
Speaker 9: same as watching it at home.
21:49
Speaker 2: I know.
21:50
Speaker 17: I've heard that.
21:50
Speaker 9: I've never been, but I've heard that. I prefer to
21:52
Speaker 9: watch it at home. Like, I've seen The Weeknd perform,
21:54
Speaker 9: and I've seen somebody else perform. And even though The
21:56
Speaker 9: Weeknd popped out in the crowd and he walked through
21:58
Speaker 9: the crowd, it just wasn't the.
21:59
Speaker 1: Same because you don't see everything that's happening. You see
22:01
Speaker 1: the angles more.
22:02
Speaker 9: It is way better to see it at the crib
22:04
Speaker 9: because you can see everything more.
22:05
Speaker 4: You know why I didn't like The Weeknd's performance? Because
22:07
Speaker 4: he really looked lost when he was walking through that.
22:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think he was. It was confusing, man.
22:11
Speaker 6: I'm like, damn, is somebody going to help him?
22:13
Speaker 9: And when we were sitting, he came out right in
22:15
Speaker 9: that little corridor. And it was just confusing. We didn't
22:17
Speaker 9: even know it was him at first.
22:19
Speaker 1: Being there was the worst.
22:20
Speaker 13: The year Dr.
22:21
Speaker 22: Dre did it, I almost got a chance to go
22:22
Speaker 22: and see it in person. But my old job, they
22:24
Speaker 22: went to go see the practice. And they were like,
22:25
Speaker 22: it's not going to be the same. You might as
22:27
Speaker 22: well watch it from home.
22:28
Speaker 6: Get back focused, man. So we're really not getting Miley Cyrus.
22:30
Speaker 13: Charlamagne, I don't want to talk to you. You know
22:32
Speaker 13: that we're not.
22:33
Speaker 6: You got the commercial?
22:35
Speaker 22: No we don't have you couldn't hear anything in the
22:37
Speaker 22: commercial it's just it sounds okay did you wear that
22:40
Speaker 22: t-shirt for a reason yes blame rock nation I wanted
22:42
Speaker 22: to I had some quotes because.
22:44
Speaker 4: I wanted Miley Cyrus in support of Miley you're not
22:46
Speaker 4: getting Miley no you gotta blame rock.
22:49
Speaker 6: Nation for that alright.
22:52
Speaker 13: I'm so mad, Charlamagne.
22:53
Speaker 3: What happened?
22:53
Speaker 13: I was mad all yesterday after I saw that commercial.
22:57
Speaker 13: I know he knows. I know he knows. Period.
23:01
Speaker 22: But Roger Goodell, yesterday, there were some statements that were released.
23:05
Speaker 22: He said that when they signed their partnership with Jay-Z
23:08
Speaker 22: and Roc Nation, the only thing that they requested was
23:11
Speaker 22: that Jay-Z take the stage himself whenever the moment felt right.
23:14
Speaker 19: So.
23:14
Speaker 22: This is the moment Jay-Z is saying, from reasonable doubt
23:17
Speaker 22: to standing on the Super Bowl halftime stage, this has
23:19
Speaker 22: been a journey. 30 years of music, work, and culture
23:22
Speaker 22: on the world's biggest stage. This run continues to be
23:25
Speaker 22: a dream come true.
23:26
Speaker 4: Well, objectively, you know, he is celebrating 30 years of
23:29
Speaker 4: the most dominant career in hip-hop history, dropping the clues
23:31
Speaker 4: bombs for Hov.
23:32
Speaker 6: Why not?
23:33
Speaker 4: And say what you want, Jay-Z has been the biggest
23:36
Speaker 4: story in hip-hop this year, by far, and arguably the
23:39
Speaker 4: biggest story in music, period.
23:40
Speaker 6: Good, bad, or indifferent, y'all can't stop talking about Hov.
23:43
Speaker 19: Period.
23:44
Speaker 4: And if you can't celebrate the level of success that
23:46
Speaker 4: he's had, then you will probably never have any real
23:48
Speaker 4: success of your own.
23:49
Speaker 1: Well-deserved. Very much so.
23:50
Speaker 6: I mean, it's obvious.
23:51
Speaker 1: You've said this before. Well-deserved.
23:53
Speaker 6: Absolutely.
23:54
Speaker 13: Well, look out for the album and all the statements
23:56
Speaker 13: and things that'll be made.
23:57
Speaker 10: What album?
23:58
Speaker 22: What else is going to be announced after the Super Bowl?
24:00
Speaker 22: Everybody announces something after the Super Bowl. He's already performed everywhere,
24:04
Speaker 22: so it ain't going.
24:04
Speaker 13: To be a residency.
24:05
Speaker 9: It would make sense. It would make sense for him
24:07
Speaker 9: to drop some music. Pharrell said on stage that it
24:09
Speaker 9: would work.
24:09
Speaker 22: You didn't think it would make sense for him to
24:11
Speaker 22: be a... I mean, you said he didn't need to
24:12
Speaker 22: be at the Super Bowl because we didn't deserve him.
24:14
Speaker 1: I don't know.
24:15
Speaker 14: Well, how many albums he got out right now? Like,
24:16
Speaker 14: how many albums currently?
24:18
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how many current albums. Probably 10, 11.
24:20
Speaker 7: 10, 11.
24:20
Speaker 1: Okay. You say you saw, like, 10, 11 goats.
24:23
Speaker 6: What are y'all talking about?
24:24
Speaker 13: I was trying to count y'all.
24:25
Speaker 6: I don't know the people on the line. 14 albums.
24:27
Speaker 6: So he's at 15 albums. 15 albums. All right, never mind.
24:29
Speaker 1: I was just trying to figure out, like, what the goat. Symbolism.
24:32
Speaker 22: The album's probably called Blame Rock Nation.
24:34
Speaker 13: That t-shirt Charlamagne got on it.
24:35
Speaker 17: Period.
24:36
Speaker 1: That'll be fine.
24:36
Speaker 4: Nah, it would probably be called like Book of Hoes
24:38
Speaker 4: or something. But I don't think there's an album either.
24:40
Speaker 4: By the way, you don't need to have an album.
24:42
Speaker 4: Just because you have a Super Bowl performance doesn't mean
24:45
Speaker 4: that you need to drop an album with it.
24:47
Speaker 6: Did Rihanna give y'all an album?
24:48
Speaker 19: No.
24:48
Speaker 13: No, she didn't.
24:49
Speaker 1: And she shouldn't have gave y'all an album before that.
24:51
Speaker 13: We found out Rihanna was pregnant. at the Super Bowl. Usher,
24:54
Speaker 13: his residency happened after the Super Bowl.
24:55
Speaker 6: Y'all can't never appreciate what the hell you got.
24:57
Speaker 22: People use the big stage to make it make sense.
24:59
Speaker 13: It's the biggest stage in the world.
25:00
Speaker 6: Just enjoy the Super Bowl performance.
25:02
Speaker 14: He's celebrating 30 years of his career. Bad Bunny ain't
25:04
Speaker 14: come out with nothing after that.
25:06
Speaker 1: No. It was more like a message.
25:08
Speaker 2: I'm going to be honest with you.
25:09
Speaker 7: I don't know.
25:10
Speaker 4: I don't know what Bad Bunny did about that. I
25:12
Speaker 4: haven't listened to any Bad Bunny music before.
25:14
Speaker 6: I have no idea. I really don't know.
25:16
Speaker 10: I don't know either.
25:17
Speaker 9: But it would make sense if that was the thing.
25:19
Speaker 9: If he's really working on music, it would make sense
25:21
Speaker 9: to do it after the Super Bowl. We see what's happening.
25:24
Speaker 8: We see.
25:25
Speaker 6: You don't have to get an album, guys.
25:26
Speaker 1: All right. Well, I can get a performance, but I
25:28
Speaker 1: love it.
25:28
Speaker 4: You can just celebrate 30 years of the most dominant
25:31
Speaker 4: career in hip-hop history.
25:32
Speaker 1: And I would love an album as well. That's just
25:33
Speaker 1: me personally. All right. Well, that is me.
25:36
Speaker 6: If y'all don't get one, y'all going to blame Roc Nation. Okay,
25:39
Speaker 6: because y'all got y'all expectations too high.
25:41
Speaker 13: No, we're not blaming nobody. We just want to know
25:43
Speaker 13: what's happening.
25:43
Speaker 1: All right.
25:45
Speaker 6: Call somebody, Lauren. I did.
25:46
Speaker 13: I called you.
25:49
Speaker 22: That was the latest, y'all. That's brought to you by

26:02
Speaker 4: I don't want no commercial Super Bowl halftime performance from Jay-Z.
26:06
Speaker 6: Okay?
26:06
Speaker 4: I want hip-hop. I want the Dynasty intro. I want
26:10
Speaker 4: You Don't Know. I want PSA. I want a Historia OJ.
26:14
Speaker 6: Okay?
26:15
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll do, hopefully he'll do all that.
26:17
Speaker 4: I need a black-ass hip-hop Super Bowl. He's going to.
26:19
Speaker 10: Have to do some of those hits, too.
26:20
Speaker 13: Are you consulting on the creative right now?
26:23
Speaker 6: No, I have nothing to do with these hits, too.
26:24
Speaker 1: He's going to have to do Empire State.
26:26
Speaker 6: He does not.
26:27
Speaker 1: He has to do some of those hits.
26:27
Speaker 6: He don't have to do them.
26:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely. That's his only number one record.
26:30
Speaker 19: Man.
26:31
Speaker 17: For what?
26:31
Speaker 1: He has to do some of those.
26:33
Speaker 6: That's your problem. What?
26:34
Speaker 24: Who cares?
26:34
Speaker 1: I want him to do a little bit more.
26:35
Speaker 13: People care. The goat is out the bag.
26:36
Speaker 1: Yes, I want him to do, yes, it's number ones,
26:38
Speaker 1: but that's, I want him to do PSA. He only
26:39
Speaker 1: got one number one. We'll do that one.
26:40
Speaker 6: No, you don't have to.
26:41
Speaker 1: Yes, do it.
26:42
Speaker 6: I want hip hop. I want hardcore.
26:44
Speaker 1: I want that too, but I want some of those
26:45
Speaker 1: hips as well.
26:47
Speaker 13: I'm trying to count the goats. All right, y'all, that's
26:48
Speaker 13: the ladies.
26:49
Speaker 1: We got Miley Cyrus and y'all did Miley Cyrus dirty.
26:52
Speaker 1: Party in the USA, we got that.
26:53
Speaker 13: Good or dirty.
26:53
Speaker 22: Charlamagne, the one that threw her under the bus and
26:56
Speaker 22: then put her back on top of the bus.
26:57
Speaker 1: And threw it back down.
26:58
Speaker 6: Y'all told me y'all didn't want that Dolly Parton tribute.
27:01
Speaker 6: Y'all didn't want to hear 9 to 5 this morning.
27:02
Speaker 1: Go shut your ass up.
27:03
Speaker 6: Y'all didn't want Ricky on.
27:05
Speaker 1: And the Jay-Z song was on. Period. And the Jay-Z
27:08
Speaker 1: song was on.
27:09
Speaker 6: Morning, everybody. Definitely need to hear this at the Super
27:11
Speaker 6: Bowl halftime show. Okay.
27:13
Speaker 1: Of course.
27:14

27:16
Speaker 4: hear the Dynasty intro.
27:17
Speaker 6: Okay.
27:19
Speaker 1: And everything that's fly.
27:21
Speaker 6: Morning, everybody.
27:22
Speaker 9: It's D-E-J-N-V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The
27:25
Speaker 9: Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
27:27
Speaker 6: Not there to make nobody comfortable.
27:29
Speaker 4: Okay, even making people uncomfortable with them Super Bowl halftime
27:31
Speaker 4: performances for the last seven years.
27:33
Speaker 6: So why not take it to another level this year?
27:35
Speaker 15: Period.
27:35
Speaker 6: Okay, Kendrick scared the hell out of white America. Definitely did.
27:38
Speaker 6: Bad Bunny scared the hell out of white America.
27:39
Speaker 8: Definitely did.
27:40
Speaker 6: Here comes Jay-Z.
27:41
Speaker 1: Even Dre's new fifth and end.
27:42
Speaker 6: Oh, my God.
27:43
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was crazy.
27:44
Speaker 9: Well, let's start off with sports. Yesterday, the Cowboys beat
27:46
Speaker 9: the Eagles 38-21.
27:48
Speaker 4: Slow your mouth down when you say that one. I
27:50
Speaker 4: want to see your lips move slow when you.
27:52
Speaker 6: Say that one.
27:53
Speaker 1: You guys are number two in the division.
27:55
Speaker 6: It don't even matter.
27:56
Speaker 1: Number one of the Giants.
27:57
Speaker 6: Okay, that's the division of the tallest midgets. All right,
28:00
Speaker 6: the NMCEs.
28:02
Speaker 1: We the tallest. We the tallest.
28:05
Speaker 9: Coming in at 4'5, all right? Now, later dream, a
28:08
Speaker 9: loss to the Valkyries. The Valkyries won 64-55. And if
28:11
Speaker 9: you watch baseball, the Brewers beat the Rays 10-1.
28:14
Speaker 1: What's up, Mimi?
28:17
Speaker 11: Good morning, guys. How y'all doing this morning?
28:20
Speaker 6: Good morning, Mimi.
28:22
Speaker 11: Good morning. So we start this hour.
28:24
Speaker 12: With a United Airlines flight, it was forced to turn
28:27
Speaker 12: around after a flight attendant reportedly spotted a passenger texting
28:31
Speaker 12: about hijacking the plane.
28:33
Speaker 11: Did you guys hear about this?
28:34
Speaker 6: I did.
28:35
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
28:36
Speaker 12: So the flight was headed from Las Vegas to Newark,
28:39
Speaker 12: New Jersey over the weekend.
28:41
Speaker 11: Less than 20 minutes after takeoff, the crew reported a
28:44
Speaker 11: possible threat. Let's listen.
28:46
Speaker 7: 1881, once you can let me know, please let me
28:49
Speaker 7: know if the passenger is compliant or restrained.
28:53
Speaker 5: We'll do that.
28:54
Speaker 17: I'll check with the flight attendants right now. The passenger
28:59
Speaker 17: does not know anything is going on. The flight attendant
29:03
Speaker 17: saw him texting that he was going to hijack the aircraft.
29:08
Speaker 17: They called me. We went in lockdown and we returned
29:11
Speaker 17: to Vegas. No restraint. Passengers compliant because he's unaware.
29:15
Speaker 6: Getting in a million-dollar drink. Okay? I'm putting him in
29:18
Speaker 6: a sleeper hold.
29:19
Speaker 7: All right?
29:19
Speaker 6: Dope fiend. Immediately.
29:21
Speaker 1: I don't think they told anybody. They just turned it around.
29:23
Speaker 1: But he got bail.
29:24
Speaker 9: So since he got bail, I'm assuming they didn't really
29:27
Speaker 9: take it as a real threat.
29:29
Speaker 6: They out of their mind.
29:31
Speaker 4: Because there's no way in hell I'm gonna be on
29:32
Speaker 4: a plane see somebody texting that they're thinking about hijacking
29:35
Speaker 4: the plane in this climate.
29:37
Speaker 6: You know what i mean wow.
29:39
Speaker 4: You don't try to restrain this individual in no way
29:41
Speaker 4: shape or form hell no.
29:44
Speaker 12: Yeah i'm with you on that envy i'm not exactly
29:47
Speaker 12: sure right once you get bail so um his his
29:49
Speaker 12: name was 25 year old dante mill millen um he
29:52
Speaker 12: was arrested on suspicious of making threats involving terrorism he
29:56
Speaker 12: was uh out on bail All 150 passengers and six
30:00
Speaker 12: crew members were safe, and that flight took off again
30:02
Speaker 12: the next morning, and the FAA is investigating.
30:06
Speaker 6: Why did he send that text? Was he playing?
30:07
Speaker 19: Yeah.
30:08
Speaker 11: That's the thing, perhaps. Who knows?
30:10
Speaker 12: If you're a flight attendant and you're looking at someone's phone,
30:13
Speaker 12: you don't know the context of what you're reading if
30:15
Speaker 12: you just see something.
30:17
Speaker 4: Also, very nosy-ass flight attendant, by the way. I mean,
30:20
Speaker 4: just a nosy, nosy-ass flight attendant.
30:22
Speaker 1: But I ain't going to hold you. That's the right
30:24
Speaker 1: time to be nosy because.
30:25
Speaker 14: Anything could have happened.
30:26
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? You said his name was Devontae, though?
30:29
Speaker 11: Dante.
30:30
Speaker 6: Dante.
30:30
Speaker 16: Oh, yeah.
30:31
Speaker 1: Like Charlotte said, she was very nosy.
30:33
Speaker 4: You feel like Devante because you got that leather vest on.
30:35
Speaker 4: You feel like a member of Jodeci this morning. That's
30:38
Speaker 4: what that is.
30:38
Speaker 1: Shut up.
30:39
Speaker 9: But the fact that she was over his shoulder and
30:40
Speaker 9: can actually read the message, because you don't know who's texting.
30:43
Speaker 1: Everybody texts on the flight. I feel you, yeah. She
30:45
Speaker 1: was nosy as hell.
30:46
Speaker 6: She was.
30:46
Speaker 1: But thank God. That's the right way to be nosy, though.
30:50
Speaker 11: Yeah, the right time. I'm with you.
30:51
Speaker 14: Anything could have happened, yeah.
30:53
Speaker 12: And Instagram is making some big changes that could have
30:57
Speaker 12: you watching a lot more than just real. So the company,
31:00
Speaker 12: they're testing longer form videos, some as long as 90 minutes.
31:05
Speaker 12: That means instead of watching short clips of a podcast
31:07
Speaker 12: interview or show, you could eventually watch the entire thing
31:10
Speaker 12: right on Instagram. So the goal is to compete more
31:14
Speaker 12: with YouTube, but there's a big difference for content creators.
31:17
Speaker 12: So YouTube, it shares advertising revenue with eligible creators. Instagram
31:21
Speaker 12: does not have a similar program for these longer form
31:24
Speaker 12: videos just yet, although it says it does pay creators directly.
31:29
Speaker 12: So for now, the longer videos are only being tested
31:31
Speaker 12: with a small group of creators in the US, but
31:35
Speaker 12: the question that everybody is asking is, would you watch
31:37
Speaker 12: a full podcast or TV show on Instagram?
31:39
Speaker 1: Damn, they want our phones to blow up, don't they?
31:42
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're holding your phone in your hand for
31:44
Speaker 4: 90 minutes, you've got a problem.
31:46
Speaker 6: You might need to check into a facility.
31:47
Speaker 10: No, no, no.
31:48
Speaker 9: If you think about it, people watch YouTube. They watch
31:50
Speaker 9: Netflix on their phones a lot on their iPads.
31:52
Speaker 6: For 90 minutes? Yeah, people watch movies on Netflix. See,
31:55
Speaker 6: I hate when you do this. He can set his
31:57
Speaker 6: phones in his iPad. Yes, people watch on their iPad.
32:00
Speaker 1: People watch on their phones, too.
32:01
Speaker 6: For 90 minutes?
32:02
Speaker 19: Yes.
32:02
Speaker 1: You see people on the plane all the time. They
32:04
Speaker 1: have their little things, like their little stand on their phone,
32:07
Speaker 1: and they'll watch a full flight.
32:08
Speaker 6: That's on a plane.
32:09
Speaker 21: Yeah, because you have no choice, kind of, sort of,
32:12
Speaker 21: to do that on the plane.
32:14
Speaker 9: Well, people don't do that all the time when they're traveling,
32:15
Speaker 9: when they're going to work, when they're on public transportation,
32:17
Speaker 9: when they're on the train, when they do those things. Yes,
32:19
Speaker 9: they will be watching their phone for 60 to 90
32:21
Speaker 9: minutes if it's a podcast, if it's a movie.
32:23
Speaker 1: They do it on Netflix. They do it on YouTube.
32:24
Speaker 1: They do it all the time. I feel you. What's
32:26
Speaker 1: the difference? I ain't doing it on Instagram.
32:28
Speaker 6: Yeah, the difference is how you watch it, right? Like,
32:30
Speaker 6: when you got a.
32:31
Speaker 4: Your laptop, that's when you're usually watching YouTube. Or you
32:34
Speaker 4: got your TV. Or when you're watching Netflix, you got
32:36
Speaker 4: your laptop and your TV. To be holding your phone
32:38
Speaker 4: looking down for 90 minutes.
32:40
Speaker 1: That's a lie.
32:41
Speaker 6: That's a long time, bro.
32:42
Speaker 1: They watch movies. They watch sitcoms. They do it all
32:44
Speaker 1: the time on their phone.
32:45
Speaker 19: Okay.
32:46
Speaker 6: When they're trapped on a plane.
32:48
Speaker 19: Right.
32:48
Speaker 6: But in just regular everyday life, no.
32:51
Speaker 1: And you got a TV, too?
32:53
Speaker 4: And we've already been conditioned to watch short-form content on YouTube.
32:56
Speaker 6: I mean, on Instagram.
32:57
Speaker 4: Like, the micro-dramas and the verticals, those make perfect sense
33:00
Speaker 4: for Instagram.
33:01
Speaker 6: For Instagram, yeah. 90 minutes? That's a long time.
33:03
Speaker 1: But you'll see people at lunch.
33:04
Speaker 9: They'll be watching a movie or watching something on their
33:07
Speaker 9: phone while they're eating.
33:08
Speaker 1: It happens.
33:08
Speaker 10: You see it all the time.
33:10
Speaker 6: I don't even want to stay on a piece of
33:11
Speaker 6: content on Instagram for that long. For that long?
33:13
Speaker 1: Like, damn. Why are you keeping me? But that's the
33:15
Speaker 1: point of swiping.
33:16
Speaker 9: But now they're doing it so you can watch those
33:17
Speaker 9: same movies that they would have their competition. People would
33:20
Speaker 9: have to leave to go to Netflix or leave to
33:22
Speaker 9: go to YouTube or leave to go to Hulu.
33:24
Speaker 1: Now you watch it right on Instagram. I'll tell you
33:25
Speaker 1: one thing, though. The world of apps.
33:27
Speaker 21: Optics are about to be like the most expensive industry
33:30
Speaker 21: ever right because everybody's gonna need glasses lasik like everything
33:34
Speaker 21: like everybody's eyes are gonna be bad about five to
33:37
Speaker 21: ten years but you.
33:37
Speaker 9: Can see with iphone they got that new flip iphone
33:39
Speaker 9: that's huge the screen is huge people be watching their
33:42

33:55
Speaker 1: Feel better. Thank you, Mimi.
33:56
Speaker 6: I know.
33:57
Speaker 17: Oh, wait.
33:57
Speaker 1: Sorry.
33:58
Speaker 12: Really quickly. Today is Landon's birthday. He turns 13, so
34:01
Speaker 12: I just wanted to wish.
34:02
Speaker 6: Him happy birthday.
34:03
Speaker 1: Happy birthday, Landon.
34:04
Speaker 6: That's Mimi's son, for those who don't know. Happy birthday,
34:07
Speaker 6: young man.
34:07
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
34:08
Speaker 8: All right.
34:08
Speaker 1: Thank you.
34:09
Speaker 9: Now, when we come back, Da Vinci will be joining us. Now,
34:12
Speaker 9: Da Vinci, you know, he's been in the news recently
34:14
Speaker 9: talking about the way people work.
34:16
Speaker 19: Yes.
34:16
Speaker 1: Everything like that. He also joined the cast of Chicago Fire.
34:18
Speaker 4: I'm going to be honest with you. I have no
34:19
Speaker 4: idea why Da Vinci is coming up here. If I
34:21
Speaker 4: was Da Vinci, I would have shut the hell up.
34:23
Speaker 21: You gave him donkey and he wants to come in.
34:26
Speaker 6: It's died down. It's died down.
34:28
Speaker 4: But who am I to stop somebody from wanting to
34:31
Speaker 4: come up here?
34:32
Speaker 1: Exactly.
34:33
Speaker 6: All right.
34:34
Speaker 1: We'll talk to him next. It's The Breakfast Club.
34:35
Speaker 10: Good morning.
34:35
Speaker 6: Good morning.
34:36
Speaker 8: Morning, everybody.
34:37
Speaker 9: It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are
34:40
Speaker 9: The Breakfast Club. Lorna Rose is here as well.
34:43
Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building, Da Vinci.
34:46
Speaker 6: Good morning, Da Vinci.
34:47
Speaker 17: How are you?
34:47
Speaker 7: I'm good, man.
34:49
Speaker 17: Morning.
34:50
Speaker 10: Morning, morning, morning.
34:51
Speaker 6: What are we here to talk about, DaVinci?
34:52
Speaker 4: I want to know what you're here to talk about
34:55
Speaker 4: because I'm going to tell you not to talk about it.
34:57
Speaker 6: It's already died down. It's gone.
34:59
Speaker 10: Just peace and love, man.
35:00
Speaker 7: Okay.
35:01
Speaker 10: Peace and love, man.
35:02
Speaker 6: Chicago Fire?
35:03
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah, yeah.
35:04
Speaker 1: That's a great project that.
35:07
Speaker 10: I'm on right now.
35:09
Speaker 5: Shout out to all the producers, Dick Wolf and them.
35:11
Speaker 5: That's a great team right there.
35:13
Speaker 4: What do you think about the people who said you
35:15
Speaker 4: got the Chicago Fire job with the white folks and
35:17
Speaker 4: then so you threw black people under the bus?
35:20
Speaker 10: I never saw that. Oh, they said that.
35:24
Speaker 5: Oh, I mean, I honestly that it's unfortunate that that
35:29
Speaker 5: some people interpreted the interview as if I was throwing
35:33
Speaker 5: my people under the bus and I was never my intentions.
35:36
Speaker 5: I think I expressed myself in a way that was
35:39
Speaker 5: very clumsy for such a nuanced conversation. But to sit
35:44
Speaker 5: here in my position on the soldiers of black people.
35:47
Speaker 5: that have paved the way for me to disrespect them.
35:50
Speaker 5: I think it's one of the most federal things you
35:52
Speaker 5: can do as a black man. But I understand what
35:54
Speaker 5: was clipped and what was circulating around the internet. If
35:58
Speaker 5: I saw that and I didn't have any context, I
36:01
Speaker 5: would have been mad at Da Vinci. I would have
36:02
Speaker 5: been like, bro, I look up to you. I respect you, bro.
36:04
Speaker 5: You go to all these colleges, specifically HBCUs, and now
36:07
Speaker 5: you're disrespecting us like that? I would have definitely been offended,
36:11
Speaker 5: which is part of the reason why I'm here today
36:12
Speaker 5: to clear the air. I was never intending to cause
36:15
Speaker 5: division hurt anyone.
36:17
Speaker 4: What do you believe people misunderstood about what you said
36:19
Speaker 4: and what do you believe people got wrong.
36:21
Speaker 5: Um i mean for starters i think the breakfast club
36:24
Speaker 5: heard what the masses were saying when they were like
36:26
Speaker 5: um i said to forget slavery move on from slavery i.
36:30
Speaker 10: Was answering i heard the clip right right right do
36:32
Speaker 10: you want.
36:32
Speaker 13: To play the clip i watched the full interview too.
36:35
Speaker 5: Right and i was being asked a question about interracial
36:37
Speaker 5: dating right and then when i was saying move forward
36:41
Speaker 5: And you gave a great analogy. You was just like,
36:44
Speaker 5: we must never forget like 9-11, right? We don't forget 9-11,
36:48
Speaker 5: but we have moved forward and built a new World
36:50
Speaker 5: Trade Center. The rubble isn't there anymore. I was never
36:53
Speaker 5: saying to forget. In order for you to move forward
36:55
Speaker 5: in life, you can't forget. Frederick Douglass was a slave
36:58
Speaker 5: that escaped, moved forward and became a representative in Maryland.
37:01
Speaker 5: These are people that you can't, if you're moving forward,
37:04
Speaker 5: if you're going to progress anywhere in life, you cannot forget.
37:06
Speaker 5: To forget the past is just critical for moving forward.
37:10
Speaker 5: I understand that. how it got misconstrued and again.
37:12
Speaker 4: Let's stay there for a second what did you mean
37:14
Speaker 4: by move on did you mean stop discussing it stop
37:17
Speaker 4: blaming it for current problems or just stop allowing it
37:19
Speaker 4: to define our identity.
37:20
Speaker 5: I think i think it's more so stop allowing it
37:23
Speaker 5: to define our identity as if we're not more than
37:26
Speaker 5: just that you know and and that's that's what it
37:28
Speaker 5: was but i would never say i mean the the
37:30
Speaker 5: Transatlantic Slave Trade was arguably the worst slave trade in
37:33
Speaker 5: human history.
37:35
Speaker 10: I mean, the justification that they were doing.
37:36
Speaker 6: No, it was.
37:37
Speaker 10: Yeah, no, it was.
37:38
Speaker 8: It was, for sure.
37:39
Speaker 5: And it's just like, what was happening, what they were
37:41
Speaker 5: doing to try to justify their extreme brutality, it's insane.
37:44
Speaker 5: And the disenfranchisement, like what we're dealing with today, it's
37:47
Speaker 5: still greatly reflecting that.
37:49
Speaker 19: So.
37:49
Speaker 5: To say forget it and like as if it never happened,
37:52
Speaker 5: you can't forget. It's here every day. You know what
37:54
Speaker 5: I'm saying? So it's like and forgive me for the
37:56
Speaker 5: words that I use and criticism of my wording is fair.
38:00
Speaker 5: But criticism of my wording, I was hoping that it
38:02
Speaker 5: didn't prevent us from wrestling with the idea underneath it.
38:05
Speaker 10: But it did.
38:06
Speaker 5: And I can't blame people for how they took it because, again,
38:10
Speaker 5: it was such a nuanced conversation on a platform that
38:12
Speaker 5: wasn't the proper format to have that conversation to where
38:15
Speaker 5: I was just being asked questions and then go, go, go.
38:17
Speaker 10: And I was never able to really clarify certain things.
38:20
Speaker 6: But you're also aware of all the things that happened.
38:22
Speaker 6: After slavery, right? Absolutely. They created a law that can
38:25
Speaker 6: put you right.
38:25
Speaker 5: The red line and the Jim Crow law, segregation, all
38:27
Speaker 5: that stuff. So shout out to Dr.
38:29
Speaker 10: Teresa Price.
38:30
Speaker 5: She's the founder of the National College Resource Foundation. I'm
38:33
Speaker 5: an ambassador for this organization. We've helped over 700,000 students
38:35
Speaker 5: in underserved communities going to colleges. I do college tours
38:39
Speaker 5: all the time, and HBCU specifically. And I'm not saying
38:42
Speaker 5: that to try to, like, flex the work that I
38:45
Speaker 5: do in the community. I'm just saying that there's, like,
38:47
Speaker 5: the community that I'm a part of, it's like, If
38:50
Speaker 5: you're speaking, forget slavery.
38:52
Speaker 1: Move on. These are thinkers. These are some of the
38:54
Speaker 1: greatest thinkers of America.
38:55
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
38:56
Speaker 5: If I was thinking like that, I would never be
38:57
Speaker 5: able to be in a room. But I definitely understand that.
39:00
Speaker 5: In the conversation, I was very clumsy with my wording,
39:03
Speaker 5: which made people perceive it a certain way, which I
39:06
Speaker 5: don't fault them for. Because, again, if I heard that
39:08
Speaker 5: and saw the clips and what some of the AI
39:10
Speaker 5: generated things was doing, like I would have been upset
39:12
Speaker 5: as well. But never was I trying to say anything
39:16
Speaker 5: like that online was saying.
39:18
Speaker 6: So let's be clear.
39:18
Speaker 4: Do you believe black Americans are using slavery as an
39:22
Speaker 4: excuse for where we are today?
39:24
Speaker 19: No.
39:24
Speaker 10: I mean, it's legitimately why we're here today. So no, no, no, no.
39:28
Speaker 10: That's that's no. Heck no.
39:30
Speaker 6: That's a long answer, DaVinci.
39:31
Speaker 16: No, no, no.
39:31
Speaker 6: You got to get that one faster. You got to
39:33
Speaker 6: get that one faster.
39:34
Speaker 1: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL>.
39:36
Speaker 5: <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> <HAL> But
39:39
Speaker 5: I was just like, just really just listening to what
39:41
Speaker 5: you were saying.
39:42
Speaker 10: I was like, hmm, let me just process what Mr.
39:44
Speaker 1: Charlamagne is coming from right now.
39:46
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying?
39:47
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, because then you should say I'm
39:49
Speaker 5: talking today for saying something that I never said.
39:51
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
39:52
Speaker 10: So, so, yeah, yeah. But no, no, it's not an excuse.
39:54
Speaker 8: It's a reality.
39:55
Speaker 4: Did you see a lot of people saying that you
39:56
Speaker 4: didn't have a historical understanding because you're Haitian American?
40:00
Speaker 6: I never saw that.
40:01
Speaker 5: So to make it clear, I'm not on social media
40:04
Speaker 5: as much as what people think. When I post, I
40:06
Speaker 5: get offline. And on Sundays, I take my Sabbath on Sundays. So,
40:10
Speaker 5: and on the weekends, like I'm just not using social media.
40:13
Speaker 5: So I didn't know how bad things were until people
40:16
Speaker 5: was calling me. Like people was calling me. Like, I
40:18
Speaker 5: just like, I don't know. Like there was like a
40:20
Speaker 5: nude of myself. Like, I was just like, wait, what
40:22
Speaker 5: is going on? And it was like, yo, they're saying dah, dah, dah, dah, dah.
40:25
Speaker 5: And I'm like, wait, I was like, well, I said that.
40:27
Speaker 5: And I'm just like, So all these calls are coming in.
40:29
Speaker 10: So I didn't see that.
40:30
Speaker 5: And then the things that I saw was just like,
40:32
Speaker 5: I saw something that said, I think black people are lazy.
40:35
Speaker 10: And I was like, where did that come from?
40:37
Speaker 5: You know, and then I started like, I just really
40:39
Speaker 5: had to just sit down and watch the interview for myself.
40:42
Speaker 5: And I was like, and then I saw the clickbaits
40:44
Speaker 5: and I was like, oh, OK, so this. OK, I
40:47
Speaker 5: see what was put together and how they. Because looking
40:50
Speaker 5: at the videos linearly, like, it's just like, you hear this, this, this, this.
40:54
Speaker 5: It's like, oh, he's saying that, you know? And I
40:56
Speaker 5: was like, dang, that would hurt me, too. Like, when
40:57
Speaker 5: I heard, I don't know, I think Raven Simone said
41:00
Speaker 5: something before.
41:00
Speaker 1: As a kid.
41:01
Speaker 10: She said you were green.
41:03
Speaker 16: Huh?
41:03
Speaker 7: What did she say?
41:04
Speaker 14: She did not say she was no damn green.
41:05
Speaker 6: No, she said he was green. What did she say?
41:07
Speaker 22: When they asked her about That's So Raven being a
41:11
Speaker 22: black girl.
41:11
Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:12
Speaker 14: And she said, was Raven black, though?
41:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, and I remember hearing that as a kid,
41:16
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, dang, like, that sucks.
41:18
Speaker 5: So, I definitely understand how it could feel, like, hearing
41:22
Speaker 5: something like that.
41:22
Speaker 10: So that's why, again, coming here to clear it up.
41:25
Speaker 6: We have the clip, right?
41:25
Speaker 21: And then I swear, when I heard it, before you
41:28
Speaker 21: play the clip real quick, I thought that you weren't
41:31
Speaker 21: even from here, the way you were at the time.
41:34
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, he must be from, like, Haiti
41:36
Speaker 1: or something.
41:36
Speaker 14: Like, he must have just came here.
41:37
Speaker 1: Well, he was born here.
41:39
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah, I know he is Asian.
41:40
Speaker 6: American, but.
41:41
Speaker 21: The way his answer was, I felt like he was
41:44
Speaker 21: from over there.
41:44
Speaker 13: He was saying that.
41:45
Speaker 22: Because you grew up with Haitian parents, that you weren't...
41:49
Speaker 22: The conveniences that we had that you said was incompetent,
41:52
Speaker 22: that didn't happen to you.
41:53
Speaker 14: By the time he was eight, he was cooking breakfast.
41:56
Speaker 5: And just to be clear, I was never... I used
42:00
Speaker 5: a harsh word. I should have said a different word.
42:03
Speaker 5: And when I was speaking about what you just said,
42:05
Speaker 5: I was speaking about the nation as a whole. Because
42:10
Speaker 5: as a mental health advocate, you know, when I went
42:12
Speaker 5: on a tour with Dr. Vivek Murthy, the former Surgeon General,
42:15
Speaker 5: he was like, your generation, because you have access to...
42:18
Speaker 5: all this technology, you're constantly offloading things to this technology.
42:22
Speaker 5: And what happens when you continuously do that, you begin
42:24
Speaker 5: to physically modify your brain and become better at not
42:27
Speaker 5: thinking critically. So we don't have the same advantages as
42:31
Speaker 5: the previous generation to where they had to figure it out.
42:34
Speaker 5: And the only thing that is inevitable, one of the
42:36
Speaker 5: only inevitable things in life that's going to happen is problems.
42:39
Speaker 5: And when problems come, we don't have the same fortitude
42:42
Speaker 5: as previous generation. So we There's great thinkers in the
42:45
Speaker 5: world right now that fears that we don't have that
42:47
Speaker 5: capability so we could look really scary for our generation.
42:50
Speaker 6: You have a lack of metacognition.
42:52
Speaker 19: Yes.
42:52
Speaker 6: Metacognition is when you're able to think about your own thinking.
42:55
Speaker 17: Right.
42:56
Speaker 6: I don't think this generation does that anymore.
42:57
Speaker 1: You tell me that all the time.
42:59
Speaker 19: Right.
42:59
Speaker 4: Because we put our thoughts out there and then we
43:01
Speaker 4: go read about what everybody else thinks about our thoughts
43:04
Speaker 4: as opposed to before we even put our thoughts out there,
43:06
Speaker 4: let me think about what it is I'm about to
43:08
Speaker 4: say or what I'm about to write or what I'm
43:09
Speaker 4: about to do in this moment.
43:11
Speaker 17: Right.
43:11
Speaker 21: I've seen a bunch of clips, but I didn't watch
43:14
Speaker 21: them all the way through. I didn't even hear you
43:15
Speaker 21: call anybody racist. I heard you, I mean, not racist, lazy.
43:19
Speaker 21: I heard you say that America has made it, this
43:23
Speaker 21: country makes it convenient for us to be lazy or not.
43:26
Speaker 1: Thank you, Sister Jess.
43:27
Speaker 14: Yeah, that's what I heard.
43:29
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying? And that's what
43:33
Speaker 10: I was saying.
43:34
Speaker 5: But I know my wording was very, it was clumsy,
43:37
Speaker 5: so I shouldn't have used harsh language like incompetent.
43:40
Speaker 10: I should have definitely used different language, you know?
43:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.
43:43
Speaker 4: You want to play the clip? Whatever he did to
43:46
Speaker 4: black people.
43:46
Speaker 1: Oh, here you go. You take the lazy one first.
43:48
Speaker 6: Could you date outside your race in public?
43:51
Speaker 8: Yes.
43:52
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not with a white person. That's what
43:54
Speaker 5: the world is wondering. But I don't think there's anything
43:56
Speaker 5: wrong with that. It's not a color thing at all.
43:59
Speaker 5: I do think it's unfortunate that we have so many
44:03
Speaker 5: people in the world that can't see past that. I
44:05
Speaker 5: could understand the emotions that it conjure up because of
44:09
Speaker 5: what people of African descent have gone through under the
44:13
Speaker 5: hands of Caucasians. But however, the story is much bigger
44:17
Speaker 5: than that. Caucasians have enslaved Caucasians. Black people have enslaved
44:20
Speaker 5: black people. We're looking at history from a point of
44:23
Speaker 5: view that is cutting our legs off from under our
44:26
Speaker 5: feet to really be able to move forward. forward and
44:28
Speaker 5: be like smarter and more like uh i think just
44:30
Speaker 5: more awareness i mean think of it i mean shout
44:33
Speaker 5: out to the lgbtq community they're getting married with pastors
44:37
Speaker 5: that is officiating the marriage and they're not feeling no
44:39
Speaker 5: type of way about it i don't think black and
44:42
Speaker 5: white people when they're dating they should be in a
44:44
Speaker 5: closet but why is that in america that we fear
44:47
Speaker 5: that more than that if this nation is supposed to.
44:49
Speaker 13: Be christian But we didn't want to do the clip.
44:51
Speaker 21: I was going to say, we got through the gay part.
44:53
Speaker 21: I don't understand. When did the gays come in?
44:55
Speaker 13: That been in there.
44:55
Speaker 22: We played that on the radio because he was making, well,
44:58
Speaker 22: I'm going to say, You tell me the comparison you
45:00
Speaker 22: were making because I tried to explain it for you
45:01
Speaker 22: when we did it up here.
45:02
Speaker 6: I don't even want you to do that. Focus on
45:05
Speaker 6: what you came here to talk about. We played a.
45:08
Speaker 22: Little clip because we didn't want you to be clipped
45:11
Speaker 22: out of context again.
45:12
Speaker 6: Don't do all of that.
45:13
Speaker 1: Americans, gay, lazy.
45:15
Speaker 14: Oh, my God.
45:18
Speaker 13: I did it the best way I could to get
45:19
Speaker 13: you out of it the first time.
45:21
Speaker 6: Nah, you know what's crazy, though?
45:22
Speaker 5: Like the world, our community, like we really respect y'all.
45:26
Speaker 5: So I feel like as a journalist, it's definitely, we
45:28
Speaker 5: have a responsibility. Well, I'm not one, but it's you
45:31
Speaker 5: guys to really just defend and fight for truth, you know?
45:33
Speaker 5: And I do think it's important that you guys use
45:36
Speaker 5: your platform to convey that. It was greatly alarming to
45:41
Speaker 5: me when I saw that you guys perceived that I
45:44
Speaker 5: was saying forget slavery, which was never a language that
45:47
Speaker 5: I used, you know?
45:48
Speaker 1: And I was like, dang, this is really sad. And
45:51
Speaker 1: I felt the same way.
45:52
Speaker 6: You did say move on.
45:54
Speaker 1: Move past.
45:54
Speaker 6: Move past.
45:55
Speaker 4: And my whole thing was every time black people have
45:57
Speaker 4: tried to move past slavery, there have been other things
46:01
Speaker 4: that are still.
46:01
Speaker 10: Absolutely. But we still move forward, though.
46:04
Speaker 5: Like I was speaking to the resilience that has always
46:06
Speaker 5: characterized black people. Every black person around the world, we're
46:10
Speaker 5: going through things left and right. Because the transatlantic slave
46:13
Speaker 5: trade was so massive. But we have to have that.
46:15
Speaker 5: Like everyone around me, all my mentors, they were like, yo, bro,
46:17
Speaker 5: that's going to happen. You got to move forward.
46:19
Speaker 7: Just see.
46:19
Speaker 5: You didn't get the job and they gave it to
46:20
Speaker 5: a wife. You've got to move forward. Like I can't
46:22
Speaker 5: live in that space. So forgive me if my thinking
46:26
Speaker 5: was in a way that was like offensive, but it's like,
46:28
Speaker 5: that's the resilience that I try to tap into. You know,
46:31
Speaker 5: the Sojourner Truths of the world, the Harriet Tubman's in
46:33
Speaker 5: the world. These people to where it's just like, no,
46:35
Speaker 5: despite what's going on, no, we're going to prevail and
46:37
Speaker 5: we're going to love our way through it.
46:39
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying?
46:39
Speaker 6: Tell me about this one.
46:40
Speaker 4: You mentioned that white people were enslaved, and that's historically
46:44
Speaker 4: true in certain contexts. But what does that have to
46:46
Speaker 4: do with the specific institution of race-based chattel slavery in America?
46:51
Speaker 6: What point were you trying to make with that comparison?
46:52
Speaker 5: All I was trying to show, and again, I should
46:55
Speaker 5: have slowed down and really took time with the transatlantic
46:58
Speaker 5: slave trade because it was the worst.
47:00
Speaker 1: Because it was the only slavery that was based strictly
47:02
Speaker 1: on color.
47:02
Speaker 8: Mm-hmm.
47:03
Speaker 23: And race.
47:04
Speaker 6: And it was just, it was people were property.
47:06
Speaker 8: Exactly. You know what I'm saying?
47:07
Speaker 5: So you could sell them as collateral. You can use
47:09
Speaker 5: them as like that. That was extremely different.
47:11
Speaker 6: But what I was trying, and it was a permanent
47:13
Speaker 6: condition that even the children inherited.
47:15
Speaker 8: Absolutely.
47:17
Speaker 10: Absolutely. There was, there was no, it wasn't escaping it. Right.
47:20
Speaker 5: And I was just trying to demonstrate that oppression and
47:23
Speaker 5: hate have existed across so many nations and groups of
47:26
Speaker 5: people across the world. And that is not unique to
47:29
Speaker 5: one color. It is a human trait. Because in my
47:33
Speaker 5: experience with certain friends, you know, when they're dating and
47:36
Speaker 5: doing certain things.
47:36
Speaker 6: In America, it's unique. Child slavery in America was unique.
47:40
Speaker 10: I think all around the world.
47:41
Speaker 4: No, because those were more indentured servants. Like here, you
47:44
Speaker 4: couldn't just work off your debt and go home.
47:46
Speaker 17: No, no, no.
47:47
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the transatlantic slavery. I'm talking about the
47:49
Speaker 5: slaves that was in the Caribbean. I'm talking about the
47:51
Speaker 5: slave that was in America. I'm talking about everybody of
47:53
Speaker 5: African descent that dealt with it.
47:55
Speaker 6: But you said white people had slavery.
47:56
Speaker 4: So when you say that, I'm thinking about colonialism and
47:59
Speaker 4: European indentured slaves.
48:00
Speaker 17: Right, right, right.
48:00
Speaker 5: So what I'm saying is that the transatlantic slave trade
48:03
Speaker 5: was the worst, right, for the reasons that we just discussed.
48:07
Speaker 5: I was just trying to draw a picture of that
48:10
Speaker 5: hate and oppression is not something that is unique to
48:13
Speaker 5: one group of people.
48:14
Speaker 10: It is a human trait.
48:16
Speaker 5: And that to base your dating or your hate towards
48:19
Speaker 5: someone strictly off of that, I think that that's hurting us.
48:24
Speaker 5: I think we're perpetuating the same hate that was shown
48:26
Speaker 5: to us and to where what always something else that
48:29
Speaker 5: characterized black people is that our love. It's like we're
48:31
Speaker 5: the only group that I feel like the systemic oppression,
48:34
Speaker 5: what we dealt.
48:34
Speaker 10: With, we still welcomed. all races with open arms.
48:37
Speaker 5: Like, I remember being in school, like, the white boy
48:39
Speaker 5: in class is just like, yo, what up, Eminem? Like,
48:41
Speaker 5: they embrace him, they love him, and like, we don't
48:43
Speaker 5: perpetuate that. So sometimes when I'm seeing that perpetuate, I'm like, yo,
48:46
Speaker 5: it just don't sit well with me.
48:48
Speaker 10: That's all.
48:48
Speaker 6: That's too deep, bro. Just say you want to smash
48:50
Speaker 6: a white chick every night.
48:51
Speaker 1: Oh, my God.
48:51
Speaker 6: Da Vinci, all that's too deep. Like, why did I
48:53
Speaker 6: get so get doing too much?
48:55
Speaker 13: He started this statement saying.
48:57
Speaker 6: He's not with a white woman.
48:58
Speaker 4: You didn't do it too much to say I'm in Hollywood,
49:00
Speaker 4: I'm going to smash a pink toe every night.
49:02
Speaker 1: A pink toe?
49:03
Speaker 6: Can I ask you a question?
49:05
Speaker 22: Because I saw this old clip of you and your
49:07
Speaker 22: homegirl going back and forth about how black women feel
49:10
Speaker 22: when black men date white women or women outside their race, right?
49:14
Speaker 22: Why is it an issue if some black women choose
49:16
Speaker 22: to have like this emotional protective tie over black men
49:18
Speaker 22: in their lineage?
49:19
Speaker 1: Like, why is that?
49:20
Speaker 13: An issue so why do you guys always debate against
49:22
Speaker 13: it i don't.
49:22
Speaker 5: Think we always debate against it i think it comes
49:24
Speaker 5: up because it comes up but that's not something that
49:27
Speaker 5: i always debate against at all i mean if i
49:29
Speaker 5: really what i'd be debating against is like if the
49:31
Speaker 5: knicks is gonna win i don't debate on that like
49:33
Speaker 5: on my free time that's not what i'm talking.
49:35
Speaker 22: About like even when you start the conversation it's like
49:36
Speaker 22: i'm not with white women for those who want like
49:38
Speaker 22: It's like, if you.
49:39
Speaker 1: Are, that's how you feel. That would be the.
49:41
Speaker 6: Next thing that people will assume. You got to make
49:43
Speaker 6: that clear. You got to make that clear. If that's
49:47
Speaker 6: what you went.
49:48
Speaker 13: To, do your thing.
49:49
Speaker 22: But I feel like it's like y'all, not y'all. I
49:52
Speaker 22: feel like when I watch that clip with you and
49:53
Speaker 22: your friend, you specifically, I'm like, if you want to
49:56
Speaker 22: date white women, you can go ahead and do that.
49:57
Speaker 22: But there are black women that are like, nah, we
49:59
Speaker 22: think that you should invest your.
50:01
Speaker 13: Love and your lineage into a black woman. And there
50:04
Speaker 13: are women who feel the opposite.
50:06
Speaker 5: No, I think that's fine. Like, I think whatever you love, like,
50:09
Speaker 5: love is love, you know? So I don't, no, I
50:12
Speaker 5: have nothing against that at all.
50:14
Speaker 1: So how, never mind, I'm going to just.
50:15
Speaker 17: No, no, no, no, Lauren, say it.
50:17
Speaker 4: I don't want to be talking about this ever again
50:19
Speaker 4: after speaking.
50:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
50:21
Speaker 13: If that, if that, if love is love.
50:23
Speaker 6: Why are you here talking about it? You're crazy. Who
50:25
Speaker 6: told you to do this? You're crazy.
50:26
Speaker 1: Like all these weeks later.
50:29
Speaker 10: Because I felt bad.
50:30
Speaker 1: I felt like I was just like, sorry to cut
50:32
Speaker 1: you off, Lauren.
50:33
Speaker 13: To people who support you.
50:34
Speaker 18: Yeah.
50:34
Speaker 5: I was like, yo, people who love me and rock
50:36
Speaker 5: with me that was just like standing 10 toes behind me.
50:39
Speaker 5: And I was like, yo, I got to clear this
50:41
Speaker 5: up because I didn't say that.
50:42
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
50:42
Speaker 5: So it was just like, I felt the need. And
50:44
Speaker 5: then you have some articles being published that, yo, Da
50:46
Speaker 5: Vinci lost a million followers. None of that ever happened.
50:48
Speaker 13: You told me that that didn't happen.
50:50
Speaker 8: That was crazy.
50:51
Speaker 5: And I was like, yo, this was like really, they
50:52
Speaker 5: were really wild. And I was like, yo, for the
50:54
Speaker 5: people who love me, like it's like. I'm at work
50:56
Speaker 5: and I'm talking to people like, oh, no, you should
50:58
Speaker 5: just clear it up for us because I know your heart,
51:00
Speaker 5: but people don't know what you do in the community.
51:02
Speaker 5: So they don't have that insight and you can't blame them.
51:04
Speaker 5: And I'm like, no, that's real. So that's why I
51:05
Speaker 5: was like, yo, let me come and talk to Mr.
51:07
Speaker 7: Charlamagne.
51:08
Speaker 22: So if love is love and you can love anybody
51:10
Speaker 22: you want, like you said, why does a conversation about
51:13
Speaker 22: you dating interracially get to the point where you're telling
51:15
Speaker 22: us that we are in this mindset of we can't
51:19
Speaker 22: let slavery go, we can't move on? Why can't we
51:22
Speaker 22: have that emotional tie to what happened to us And say,
51:24
Speaker 22: we want you.
51:26
Speaker 1: To not do that.
51:26
Speaker 5: You could for sure have that emotional tie. I think
51:29
Speaker 5: everybody deserves to have their preferences. I just know some
51:32
Speaker 5: brothers and sisters that have certain preferences that they're afraid
51:36
Speaker 5: to share openly because they don't want to get backlash
51:39
Speaker 5: from the culture. And I'm just like, dude, like, I
51:41
Speaker 5: think you're just in your head, bro. Just like, just go.
51:43
Speaker 6: Tell me a picture of you. Let me see this
51:45
Speaker 6: movie in white.
51:46
Speaker 21: He's talking about somebody else that he's going to see
51:48
Speaker 21: as somebody white.
51:49
Speaker 6: And he'll want to bring us.
51:50
Speaker 1: To an event.
51:52
Speaker 7: Stop.
51:52
Speaker 6: Let me see it.
51:53
Speaker 4: I got some beautiful queens in my phone.
51:58
Speaker 6: I will say, Haiti, right?
52:01
Speaker 4: Haiti is a nation whose history profoundly shaped by slavery. Slavery, colonialism,
52:07
Speaker 4: foreign intervention, definitely exploitation of its economics.
52:10
Speaker 6: Would you tell Haitian people to move on from that history?
52:13
Speaker 5: I would tell us to move forward the same way
52:15
Speaker 5: Jean-Baptiste Du Sable, he moved forward, he moved to America,
52:19
Speaker 5: and he founded the city of Chicago.
52:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the country of Haiti is still dealing with
52:25
Speaker 4: all of that right now.
52:27
Speaker 10: I would say this.
52:28
Speaker 5: That conversation is so deep that to have it on air,
52:33
Speaker 5: it would cause another.
52:34
Speaker 10: I mean, but.
52:35
Speaker 6: The reality is people... I get what you're saying. People just...
52:37
Speaker 6: It's not as easy as just saying move on.
52:39
Speaker 7: No, no, it's not.
52:40
Speaker 1: Like, moving forward doesn't mean... Forgetting.
52:43
Speaker 10: But, Queen, you want to let your question?
52:45
Speaker 6: Oh, not Queen.
52:46
Speaker 19: Oh.
52:47
Speaker 8: Queen.
52:47
Speaker 1: Queen.
52:48
Speaker 8: Queen.
52:48
Speaker 5: Queen.
52:49
Speaker 17: Queen. Queen.
52:50
Speaker 20: Queen.
52:50
Speaker 17: Queen. Queen.
52:52
Speaker 1: Queen.
52:52
Speaker 10: Queen.
52:53
Speaker 18: Queen.
52:53
Speaker 17: Queen.
52:54
Speaker 16: Queen.
52:54
Speaker 5: Queen.
52:55
Speaker 3: Queen.
52:55
Speaker 17: Queen. Queen.
52:56
Speaker 15: Queen.
52:57
Speaker 3: Queen.
52:57
Speaker 18: Queen.
53:04
Speaker 13: I cut you off twice.
53:05
Speaker 17: I'm sorry.
53:06
Speaker 5: So you think black men didn't know white women can
53:09
Speaker 5: be pro-black?
53:26
Speaker 10: I don't want to use my words right now.
53:28
Speaker 1: Can we just look at what the pro-black means?
53:30
Speaker 4: Being pro-black means centering the empowerment, survival, self-determination, and well-being
53:36
Speaker 4: of black people without requiring the hatred.
53:38
Speaker 6: Our exclusion of other groups.
53:41
Speaker 4: Now, remember, one of the key things of being pro-black
53:44
Speaker 4: is building power, right? So pro-blackness focuses directly on creating social, political,
53:49
Speaker 4: and economic strength for a community affected by historical and
53:52
Speaker 4: systemic disadvantages. That's why a lot of people don't like
53:55
Speaker 4: to see black men with white women or vice versa.
53:58
Speaker 8: But how.
53:58
Speaker 5: But, like, if I may, I'm really asking, how does...
54:03
Speaker 5: doing what Lauren says stops that progress.
54:06
Speaker 6: I'm going to quote Dr. Umar.
54:07
Speaker 10: Is he a real doctor?
54:08
Speaker 1: I mean, you are.
54:09
Speaker 8: He's not a real expert.
54:10
Speaker 6: On sociopolitical studies. He's a real goddamn mutant.
54:14
Speaker 1: But he's what he's saying if he calls himself a doctor. No, no, no.
54:17
Speaker 10: I'm saying, is he like Dr.
54:18
Speaker 17: Drake?
54:19
Speaker 6: No, no, he's an actual doctor.
54:20
Speaker 10: He's a doctor.
54:20
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?
54:21
Speaker 4: He says something simple, and I don't want to misquote him,
54:23
Speaker 4: but he's basically like, if you're black dating a white
54:26
Speaker 4: person and you have money, right? If something happens to you,
54:29
Speaker 4: your inheritance ends up going to that white woman. So
54:32
Speaker 4: that money is coming out of the black community.
54:35
Speaker 10: But do you have kids with them?
54:36
Speaker 1: I don't know.
54:37
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I mean, I guess we could also
54:38
Speaker 4: have kids as well, but I'm just saying that kind
54:40
Speaker 4: of makes sense to me in that sense.
54:42
Speaker 5: But in your, in your will, you could, I ain't
54:45
Speaker 5: going to argue with Umar, brother Umar, doctor or whatever,
54:47
Speaker 5: but I, I think what Lauren is saying and what
54:50
Speaker 5: definition you just read, I don't see how you can't
54:53
Speaker 5: fulfill that even if you're in that situation.
54:56
Speaker 14: You can be pro-black with a white woman, basically.
54:59
Speaker 6: I just think black love is revolutionary.
55:01
Speaker 10: I think love is revolutionary, for sure.
55:03
Speaker 4: The way they try to tear the black family apart
55:06
Speaker 4: for all of these years, I just love seeing black.
55:09
Speaker 4: I don't knock anybody for who they choose to love,
55:10
Speaker 4: but I just love seeing it. A black man with
55:12
Speaker 4: a black woman. Raising a beautiful black family.
55:15
Speaker 1: I don't know why he's acting like he ain't never
55:16
Speaker 1: had a glass of milk or two. He has a
55:18
Speaker 1: black wife.
55:18
Speaker 6: 48 years old. What's that got to do with me?
55:21
Speaker 4: I've been with a beautiful black woman for 28 years.
55:24
Speaker 6: I have four million black daughters.
55:26
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying?
55:26
Speaker 14: Before that, you ain't never take a scoop of the
55:28
Speaker 14: vanilla ice cream.
55:29
Speaker 6: When you know better, you do better.
55:31
Speaker 1: Oh, okay.
55:31
Speaker 6: That's what it is.
55:32
Speaker 1: Okay, so he had to grow up. Okay, he had
55:35
Speaker 1: to grow up.
55:35
Speaker 6: Nah, but like.
55:37
Speaker 1: I don't knock nobody for what they.
55:39
Speaker 6: Choose to do.
55:40
Speaker 13: Love is love. Why would you say that about him?
55:42
Speaker 17: Nah.
55:43
Speaker 10: Love is love.
55:44
Speaker 6: I'm just... I just think black love is revolutionary.
55:46
Speaker 18: Okay.
55:47
Speaker 5: I think love is a beautiful thing. And to me, like,
55:50
Speaker 5: I've never... Like, wife... I mean, I'm not even.
55:53
Speaker 6: There you go.
55:54
Speaker 8: See?
55:54
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say it, but I am.
55:57
Speaker 10: I never did, though.
55:58
Speaker 6: I never wifed a white.
55:59
Speaker 7: Say it.
56:01
Speaker 9: You didn't have a wife a white.
56:06
Speaker 8: Say it.
56:06
Speaker 1: I'm just saying.
56:07
Speaker 6: Other races say that? Why is it a problem when
56:09
Speaker 6: black people say it?
56:10
Speaker 19: No, no, no.
56:11
Speaker 6: But here's the thing.
56:12
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a problem with anybody who have preferences.
56:15
Speaker 6: Jewish people want to be with Jewish people. Italians want to.
56:17
Speaker 10: Be with Italians.
56:18
Speaker 1: Asians want to be with Asians. I don't see the problem.
56:21
Speaker 1: Does it sound like, Lauren, that I'm saying it's a problem?
56:23
Speaker 22: It sounds to me like there's a lot of black
56:25
Speaker 22: men who, as a black woman, when I say, I'd
56:28
Speaker 22: rather see you with a black woman, y'all be like, well,
56:30
Speaker 22: why we got to? And like, y'all be upset about it.
56:32
Speaker 22: And it's like, why can't I have that preference for you? Like,
56:35
Speaker 22: to me, it's a stewardship. And I understand that because
56:37
Speaker 22: I'm a black woman. But y'all argue with us about that.
56:39
Speaker 1: And it's like, OK, well, go ahead. Do you think then?
56:41
Speaker 5: What I want to ask you guys is like, then
56:42
Speaker 5: like the brothers and sisters that are like mixed.
56:45
Speaker 8: What are you guys?
56:46
Speaker 6: The African-Americans?
56:48
Speaker 1: They're black.
56:48
Speaker 13: It depends on how they, but also sometimes, I mean,
56:51
Speaker 13: they are, I would consider them black.
56:52
Speaker 4: Regardless of what your mindset is, you can have a
56:56
Speaker 4: black father, white mother, white father, you know, black mother.
57:00
Speaker 6: To me, whatever you present as is.
57:02
Speaker 10: What you are.
57:03
Speaker 1: I think the one drop rule, I feel like if you're,
57:05
Speaker 1: you got black and you're black.
57:07
Speaker 4: For sure but I think we're having two different conversations
57:09
Speaker 4: like we're having a biological conversation we're having a conversation
57:11
Speaker 4: about how you're perceived within the system because that matters
57:14
Speaker 4: in America like it don't matter that you Haitian American
57:16
Speaker 4: you walk in the wrong neighborhood with that hat on
57:18
Speaker 4: backwards and that Chicago Blackhawk shirt there might be a
57:20
Speaker 4: white police officer that profiles.
57:22
Speaker 10: You right so like mixed people are black.
57:24
Speaker 4: They're mixed that's the right answer right they're 50% black 50%
57:28
Speaker 4: white but in this country that has a caste system
57:30
Speaker 4: you are what you present as if you ask me it's.
57:34
Speaker 13: Just a lot of emotions and things tied to this
57:36
Speaker 13: stuff Yeah, yeah, yeah.
57:38
Speaker 14: But I'm glad you came here today.
57:39
Speaker 4: Yeah, so let me ask you one more question because
57:41
Speaker 4: I don't, once again, I really don't know why you
57:42
Speaker 4: came here. 50's mad at you right now. 50's like,
57:44
Speaker 4: why did you even come?
57:44
Speaker 6: 50 is not mad at him.
57:46
Speaker 1: 50 love him.
57:47
Speaker 4: But what responsibility do you believe you have moving forward
57:50
Speaker 4: as a public figure when speaking about the history and
57:53
Speaker 4: experiences of a community you're very connected?
57:56
Speaker 5: I love the choice of wording for that question. It's
57:58
Speaker 5: just really radiate peace and love, man, and just try
58:01
Speaker 5: to continuously go back to my community, the same community
58:03
Speaker 5: that built me up.
58:04
Speaker 10: Just move them and help them and just whatever.
58:08
Speaker 5: Way I can give back I feel like I have
58:09
Speaker 5: a moral obligation to give back to everybody in the
58:12
Speaker 5: world because I was one of the fortunate ones that
58:15
Speaker 5: made it out going forward I'm going to make sure
58:16
Speaker 5: I choose my words carefully especially when I'm speaking on
58:19
Speaker 5: such a nuanced conversation to have so much emotions attached
58:22
Speaker 5: to it but yeah that's the responsibility I feel like.
58:25
Speaker 4: I have and the reason I think I know you're
58:27
Speaker 4: sincere because you didn't lose anything they're saying you lost
58:30
Speaker 4: followers you didn't lose followers you're still going to be
58:32
Speaker 4: on what's it called Chicago fire.
58:33
Speaker 14: Yeah still going to keep Getting booked.
58:35
Speaker 6: That's what I'm saying. So you didn't lose anything.
58:38
Speaker 4: So for you to be here, you know, just to
58:40
Speaker 4: have this conversation and to tell people, you know, that's
58:42
Speaker 4: not what you meant.
58:44
Speaker 6: I can tell you're Cynthia. I appreciate that, brother. I
58:46
Speaker 6: still think you should. I think you should. If you're
58:48
Speaker 6: going to do it, though, you should give a formal
58:49
Speaker 6: like apology.
58:50
Speaker 5: I apologize that my wording was harsh and it was
58:54
Speaker 5: hard for, you know, my message that I was trying
58:56
Speaker 5: to convey got lost with my clumsy wording. It's really
58:59
Speaker 5: just one of those things like I see how they
59:00
Speaker 5: took that. So it's like, yeah, it was kind of sloppy.
59:03
Speaker 5: You know, but I believe in unity. I believe in love.
59:06
Speaker 5: I believe that all human beings are talented.
59:09
Speaker 10: I believe that all... human beings, if we're all susceptible
59:12
Speaker 10: to the AI technology.
59:13
Speaker 6: Don't all lives matter.
59:14
Speaker 1: Do not all lives matter. No, I'm not doing that.
59:18
Speaker 5: I'm just saying that. That's not what I'm saying. That
59:23
Speaker 5: is crazy. That's going to be a tag. No, I'm
59:29
Speaker 5: just saying that any group of human beings that is
59:31
Speaker 5: subjected to the technology and information that we have today,
59:35
Speaker 5: if we keep using it, we're going to physically modify
59:37
Speaker 5: our brain to get better at using it. So we're
59:38
Speaker 5: going to stop critically thinking ourselves. That's going to slow
59:41
Speaker 5: down for us. And that's all that I was saying.
59:44
Speaker 5: It's not one group. That's all I was saying, man.
59:48
Speaker 6: Listen, I don't think everything deserves a response.
59:50
Speaker 4: But I do always say you can tell how much
59:53
Speaker 4: a black person cares about the black community based on
59:57
Speaker 4: how they respond to backlash they may receive from their community.
1:00:02
Speaker 6: Some people don't give a * * * *. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:05
Speaker 10: No, and some people was calling me. It was just like, bro, like,
1:00:07
Speaker 10: don't like, bro, leave it alone.
1:00:09
Speaker 1: Keep pushing.
1:00:09
Speaker 5: I was like, I couldn't because I was just like,
1:00:11
Speaker 5: this people is going to hate me regardless. I ain't
1:00:13
Speaker 5: talking to them. I'm talking to the kids that was
1:00:15
Speaker 5: like really offended. It was like, yo, I want you
1:00:17
Speaker 5: to know like keep your head up. Like the life
1:00:18
Speaker 5: is hard. Keep your head up. Keep moving forward. It's like, yes,
1:00:21
Speaker 5: like we're.
1:00:22
Speaker 10: Moving through just so much resistance in the world.
1:00:25
Speaker 1: But it's like we can prevail and we can prosper.
1:00:27
Speaker 1: And that's the kids. That's the people that I'm talking
1:00:29
Speaker 1: to right now.
1:00:30
Speaker 7: It's Da Vinci.
1:00:31
Speaker 8: It's the breakfast.

1:00:36
Speaker 1: Well, morning, everybody.
1:00:37
Speaker 9: We are The Breakfast Club. If you want to see
1:00:38
Speaker 9: that full interview, you can check it out on Netflix.
1:00:41
Speaker 9: I don't know if that helped anything.
1:00:44
Speaker 21: It didn't, but he wanted to come up here and
1:00:46
Speaker 21: clear the air.
1:00:48
Speaker 6: He wanted to speak his piece.
1:00:50
Speaker 7: Well, let's get to the latest.
1:00:52
Speaker 14: Lauren becoming a street fan.
1:00:54
Speaker 9: She gets in from somebody that knows somebody.
1:00:57
Speaker 6: She gets the details.
1:00:58
Speaker 13: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
1:01:01
Speaker 6: She be having the latest on this.
1:01:04
Speaker 7: The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
1:01:06
Speaker 4: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
1:01:09
Speaker 4: have a little bit of everything.
1:01:11
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law. On The Breakfast Club.
1:01:14
Speaker 1: Talk to me.
1:01:15
Speaker 6: LL Cool B, top dog allowed.
1:01:17
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:01:17
Speaker 22: So yesterday, guys, we talked about this, um, on Netflix,
1:01:20
Speaker 22: but want to make sure we get it here on
1:01:22
Speaker 22: the radio side as well.
1:01:23
Speaker 13: Chris Brown.
1:01:24
Speaker 22: Um, he is not going to have to do any
1:01:26
Speaker 22: jail time, um, behind those allegations. Um, stemming from 2023
1:01:30
Speaker 22: when he got into that incident with the music producer
1:01:33
Speaker 22: over in London in the club. Now, you guys remember
1:01:36
Speaker 22: it was reported that they got into this altercation and
1:01:38
Speaker 22: it was alleged that Chris Brown had hit the guy
1:01:40
Speaker 22: a couple of times with a tequila bottle. Now, Chris
1:01:43
Speaker 22: Brown was sentenced in the court and he was given
1:01:45
Speaker 22: an eight month suspended sentence. Now, fans were outside literally
1:01:49
Speaker 22: cheering as he left the courtroom. But let's take a
1:01:50
Speaker 22: listen to the judge. This is Judge Tony Baumgartner, who
1:01:55
Speaker 22: is giving us an answer and talking about what will
1:01:57
Speaker 22: happen next.
1:01:58
Speaker 19: The seriousness of your offending, Brown, including the repeated use
1:02:01
Speaker 19: of the bottle and the need for the suspended sentence,
1:02:04
Speaker 19: justify the operational period. Your sentence of eight months' imprisonment
1:02:09
Speaker 19: will be suspended for 12 months.
1:02:11
Speaker 6: You have spent.
1:02:11
Speaker 1: Time on remand in custody.
1:02:14
Speaker 19: That period does not produce the suspended sentence that I
1:02:18
Speaker 19: impose today. If you commit another offence during the operational period,
1:02:23
Speaker 19: you will be brought back before the court.
1:02:25
Speaker 13: How?
1:02:26
Speaker 6: I ain't going to be here.
1:02:27
Speaker 18: Right.
1:02:28
Speaker 9: I was going to ask, was that just in his
1:02:29
Speaker 9: country or they're saying overall?
1:02:31
Speaker 13: Like if he gets in trouble overall, right?
1:02:33
Speaker 9: That's what I'm asking. Because if he gets in trouble
1:02:35
Speaker 9: in the U.S., do you think he's going to fly back.
1:02:36
Speaker 1: To get him?
1:02:37
Speaker 22: Well, they extradite people, but I don't know specifics in
1:02:41
Speaker 22: this case, but you can get in trouble one place
1:02:42
Speaker 22: and be taken to another, Envy.
1:02:44
Speaker 1: No, no, I know that, but he's in another country.
1:02:46
Speaker 13: If I get in trouble somewhere.
1:02:48
Speaker 1: But if he gets in trouble in the U.S., does
1:02:49
Speaker 1: that account on his.
1:02:51
Speaker 22: Because, okay, so right now, with the judge waiving the sentence,
1:02:54
Speaker 22: that means that his prison term is waived, so he's
1:02:56
Speaker 22: remaining free, but he's under a court order probation or conditions...
1:03:00
Speaker 22: Because the judge basically said that he's done community work.
1:03:03
Speaker 22: And even though regardless of any past history or whatever,
1:03:06
Speaker 22: there's nothing right now that that a judge believes he
1:03:08
Speaker 22: needs to be held in custody for.
1:03:11
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:03:11
Speaker 17: Yes.
1:03:12
Speaker 13: But I don't know. That's what I'm saying.
1:03:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. But it didn't here in the States.
1:03:16
Speaker 6: I don't think the U.K. probation has anything to do
1:03:18
Speaker 6: with what he's doing. But why would it not?
1:03:20
Speaker 13: That wouldn't make any sense, though. I can't answer the question,
1:03:23
Speaker 13: but that wouldn't make any sense. That would mean that
1:03:24
Speaker 13: you can go commit. Because that just common sense.
1:03:26
Speaker 22: It just doesn't make sense. I mean, you could go
1:03:29
Speaker 22: commit a crime in the U.K. and come over here
1:03:30
Speaker 22: and just do whatever you want. If you're on probation,
1:03:32
Speaker 22: that doesn't make any sense. Like, if I'm on probation,
1:03:34
Speaker 22: I go out of the States. I have to still
1:03:35
Speaker 22: communicate with my probation officer.
1:03:37
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he's not.
1:03:41
Speaker 4: What he's basically saying is if you're on probation in
1:03:43
Speaker 4: the United Kingdom, if you get in trouble in America,
1:03:45
Speaker 4: it violates your United Kingdom.
1:03:47
Speaker 16: Okay.
1:03:47
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:03:48
Speaker 1: So yeah.
1:03:48
Speaker 13: So he, so he's not going to jail though.
1:03:51
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:03:52
Speaker 13: So that's the update there. And I know people were
1:03:53
Speaker 13: worried about that.
1:03:54
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:03:54
Speaker 13: People were worried about whether or not their tickets.
1:03:57
Speaker 22: That they brought were going to be affected and they
1:03:59
Speaker 22: will not be affected as long as he stays out
1:04:02
Speaker 22: of trouble.
1:04:02
Speaker 1: Right.
1:04:03
Speaker 13: Now moving on a bit.
1:04:05
Speaker 22: So yesterday we talked about a three-year-old soccer player out
1:04:08
Speaker 22: of Florida.
1:04:08
Speaker 13: His name is Nevada.
1:04:10
Speaker 22: And we talked about the fact that police were called
1:04:12
Speaker 22: to the soccer game that he was participating in. There
1:04:15
Speaker 22: was a director that alleged that his mom was causing
1:04:18
Speaker 22: a disturbance. And people were really upset about this because
1:04:19
Speaker 22: it's a three-year-old kid who's really, really good. Now, there
1:04:24
Speaker 22: was a 911 call that was released about this incident.
1:04:28
Speaker 22: This is the director of, it's called I-9 Sports down
1:04:30
Speaker 22: in Florida. Let's take a listen to the 911 call.
1:04:32
Speaker 13: 911, you dialed.
1:04:34
Speaker 15: Do you have an emergency?
1:04:36
Speaker 6: It's not really an emergency.
1:04:37
Speaker 20: I just have an unruly parent here calling my name
1:04:40
Speaker 20: and having me on Instagram or whatever she's doing and
1:04:42
Speaker 20: trying to immediately look bad. We're here at the Winter
1:04:45
Speaker 20: Park Park over at MFA Park. There's a parent here
1:04:47
Speaker 20: just really, really disruptive, like following me around and calling
1:04:52
Speaker 20: me names in front of this whole bunch of people
1:04:53
Speaker 20: that's here. So I want her to be gone. I
1:04:56
Speaker 20: am the director that's here.
1:04:58
Speaker 1: Okay.
1:04:58
Speaker 15: Is this like a sporting game?
1:05:01
Speaker 20: Give me some context, because I know the mom didn't
1:05:06
Speaker 20: just pull out.
1:05:07
Speaker 4: The phone and start recording him for no reason.
1:05:11
Speaker 1: No.
1:05:11
Speaker 22: So, remember yesterday I told you guys that, I mean,
1:05:14
Speaker 22: first of all, Nevada Online, they record his games and
1:05:17
Speaker 22: his practices and stuff all the time anyway.
1:05:19
Speaker 13: She was streaming. They were streaming.
1:05:20
Speaker 22: And she says during that time, there was a conversation
1:05:23
Speaker 22: that was happening and she felt like it was about
1:05:24
Speaker 22: her child. So she went over and asked, are y'all
1:05:26
Speaker 22: talking about my child? Now, this has she said there's
1:05:29
Speaker 22: been several weeks leading up to this of them putting
1:05:31
Speaker 22: bigger kids into she alleged, you know, to push them around.
1:05:35
Speaker 13: They take him out.
1:05:35
Speaker 22: They're paying money. They're not being allowed to let him
1:05:38
Speaker 22: play because he is so good. So it got to
1:05:40
Speaker 22: a point where the other parents are fed up. She
1:05:42
Speaker 22: was fed up. But the conversation, she says, never got
1:05:44
Speaker 22: to a point where it was a disservice and they
1:05:45
Speaker 22: were never civilly or criminally giving any citations whatsoever.
1:05:49
Speaker 6: I thought the kids were already bigger because he's only
1:05:51
Speaker 6: three and they're five.
1:05:52
Speaker 22: Yeah, but that's what I'm saying. So the kids, they're
1:05:55
Speaker 22: already bigger, but they put them in to push him
1:05:57
Speaker 22: around because he's so good versus the other kids. It's
1:06:00
Speaker 22: how his mother feels. Now, people are upset about this.
1:06:02
Speaker 22: Number one, yesterday I told y'all that she felt like, well, dang,
1:06:05
Speaker 22: it was a black man that made the call. And
1:06:07
Speaker 22: then also, you know, people just don't like it because
1:06:09
Speaker 22: it's three years old. But I will say out of
1:06:12
Speaker 22: all of the craziness, there is like a brighter side
1:06:15
Speaker 22: that has come out of this. Yesterday, Miss Rachel posted
1:06:18
Speaker 22: about wanting to like link up with Nevada and have
1:06:20
Speaker 22: him on her show. And his mom says that they
1:06:23
Speaker 22: will do it. They reach back out to her. It's
1:06:25
Speaker 22: going to be something soccer-themed, but I don't know when
1:06:27
Speaker 22: it'll go down. I know them white parents steaming now.
1:06:30
Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah.
1:06:31
Speaker 22: And she also told me, too, that, like, there's a
1:06:33
Speaker 22: bunch of other, like, just people that have been reaching out.
1:06:35
Speaker 13: Soccer players, coaches.
1:06:38
Speaker 22: She says that Eddie Johnson, he's a retired World Cup player,
1:06:41
Speaker 22: also reached out and now they're in conversation. And that
1:06:44
Speaker 22: they are talking to an attorney now because they are
1:06:46
Speaker 22: exploring their legal options.
1:06:47
Speaker 6: Good for them.
1:06:48
Speaker 1: Shout out to Ms. Rachel.
1:06:49
Speaker 14: She always doing work like that, though.
1:06:51
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:06:51
Speaker 1: Like, you know.
1:06:52
Speaker 13: Yep.
1:06:53
Speaker 1: I love that.
1:06:54
Speaker 21: She always shining light on the underdogs and just taking
1:06:56
Speaker 21: care of kids and, you know, people who are neglected
1:06:59
Speaker 21: and treated badly.
1:07:00
Speaker 1: She always, always reach out to them. Good for that, man.
1:07:03
Speaker 17: Yeah.
1:07:04
Speaker 19: All right.
1:07:04
Speaker 13: And to answer your question, Envy, per Forbes, yes, it
1:07:07
Speaker 13: will carry over to the U.S. for Chris Brown.
1:07:08
Speaker 18: Okay.
1:07:09
Speaker 1: So if he gets to an incident here, it could
1:07:10
Speaker 1: affect his probation in the U.K.
1:07:11
Speaker 13: But he doesn't report to a U.S. probation officer, but yes.
1:07:13
Speaker 8: Okay.
1:07:14
Speaker 4: What kind of offense, though? You know what I'm saying? Like,
1:07:18
Speaker 4: I'm telling like, if you.
1:07:19
Speaker 1: Get a parking ticket, you know what I'm saying?
1:07:22
Speaker 22: Like, I mean, we'll probably see more about the conditions
1:07:25
Speaker 22: of his release. Normally it happens where they'll give you,
1:07:27
Speaker 22: this is what it is. And then once you're, you
1:07:30
Speaker 22: set up everything with the probationary offices, somebody will do
1:07:32
Speaker 22: a story on here's the, uh, the conditions of his release.
1:07:35
Speaker 4: I just can't see America and the UK being in
1:07:37
Speaker 4: sync with every little minor arrest or infraction that somebody
1:07:40
Speaker 4: may get into.
1:07:41
Speaker 6: But who knows? Yeah.

Speaker 4: Pentagon to come to the front of the congregation because
1:07:59
Speaker 4: I don't know if y'all know or not, but the U.S.
1:08:02
Speaker 4: military is preparing to survive a national catastrophe. But what's
1:08:05
Speaker 4: the plan for you?
1:08:06
Speaker 6: We'll discuss.
1:08:07
Speaker 7: All right.
1:08:07
Speaker 1: We'll get to that next.
1:08:08
Speaker 6: It's The Breakfast Club.
1:08:09
Speaker 1: Good morning.
1:08:10
Speaker 6: This is America.
1:08:14
Speaker 8: There is no question that there are problems in this
1:08:17
Speaker 8: country between police and community.
1:08:20
Speaker 6: Yes, you are a donkey.
1:08:23
Speaker 9: The latest on that police killing of a black man.
1:08:25
Speaker 1: Now to new developments in the deadly spa shooting rampage.
1:08:28
Speaker 6: It was a really bad day for him, and this is.
1:08:29
Speaker 7: What he did.
1:08:30
Speaker 13: And so we are in a state of emergency.
1:08:34
Speaker 4: Okay, white supremacist violence is and always has been the
1:08:37
Speaker 4: number one threat to our society.
1:08:39
Speaker 7: But I'm also very proud that my wife is white.
1:08:42
Speaker 6: The Breakfast Club, bitches.
1:08:44
Speaker 7: All right, Sean Lee, please tell me, why was I your.
1:08:47
Speaker 11: Donkey of the day?
1:08:48
Speaker 4: Well, donkey of the day for Tuesday, October 27th goes
1:08:51
Speaker 4: to the Pentagon. Okay, my fellow Americans, I have already
1:08:53
Speaker 4: told y'all between now and November 3rd, I'm expecting a.
1:08:56
Speaker 6: Lot of effery in this dancery.
1:09:00
Speaker 1: That we call a country. Okay.
1:09:02
Speaker 4: But I also want you to know if nothing happens
1:09:05
Speaker 4: between now and November 3rd, and we have free and
1:09:07
Speaker 4: fair elections, which we probably won't, uh, the next three
1:09:10
Speaker 4: months are going to be hell because if the Democrats
1:09:12
Speaker 4: win Congress, the GOP could refuse to seat them. But
1:09:15
Speaker 4: The next 90 days after November 3rd could be hell
1:09:18
Speaker 4: for another reason. OK, see, yesterday I saw a story
1:09:21
Speaker 4: floating around and the headline was the Pentagon wants every
1:09:26
Speaker 4: major U.S. military base to run for 90 days without
1:09:30
Speaker 4: outside help if a war cuts off power in supply chains.
1:09:35
Speaker 4: And I saw Britain urging families to stockpile food and water.
1:09:39
Speaker 4: I don't know if you all have been paying attention,
1:09:40
Speaker 4: but let's go to One America News Network for the report, please.
1:09:43
Speaker 25: The War Department lays out plans for a doomsday initiative
1:09:46
Speaker 25: if major global conflict erupts.
1:09:48
Speaker 1: One America's Noah Sakatas reports.
1:09:50
Speaker 25: We have the most powerful and the most prepared military
1:09:53
Speaker 25: on the planet.
1:09:54
Speaker 6: Nobody can touch us.
1:09:55
Speaker 1: It's not even close.
1:09:56
Speaker 25: My job, your job, our job is to keep it
1:10:00
Speaker 25: that way.
1:10:00
Speaker 24: The Pentagon is preparing military bases across America with internal
1:10:04
Speaker 24: support systems if the global communication cuts off for at
1:10:08
Speaker 24: least 90 days. On Sunday, the War Department spokesperson, Sean Parnell,
1:10:12
Speaker 24: disclosed the Fortress Initiative, which seeks to assure all domestic
1:10:16
Speaker 24: facilities possess sustainment infrastructure like portable nuclear reactors, microgrids, well-stocked munitions,
1:10:23
Speaker 24: and fuel reserves.
1:10:25
Speaker 25: We will fuse procurement with operations at scale and then
1:10:29
Speaker 25: allow warfighters and engineers and entrepreneurs to learn, adapt, and
1:10:34
Speaker 25: rapidly iterate on their domain and their mission.
1:10:37
Speaker 24: This is the Pentagon is in the midst of Project Meridian,
1:10:41
Speaker 24: a 120-day initiative announced in early October as a think
1:10:44
Speaker 24: tank to look into the far future and determine just
1:10:47
Speaker 24: what technologies and weapons will be needed to maintain the
1:10:51
Speaker 24: edge over America's enemies. That project and the Fortress Initiative
1:10:56
Speaker 24: seek to work with civilian contractors to build up these
1:10:59
Speaker 24: essential goods to maintain the defense of the homeland.
1:11:03
Speaker 4: Every single day, This government finds a way to prove
1:11:06
Speaker 4: the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan correct. OK, the minister has
1:11:09
Speaker 4: been advising people to keep enough non-perishable food stored at
1:11:13
Speaker 4: home to last anywhere from two to three weeks. OK,
1:11:16
Speaker 4: maybe two to six months, even a year.
1:11:18
Speaker 6: But I digress. Back to the matter at hand. Dear Pentagon,
1:11:21
Speaker 6: I have a question for you. If our government.
1:11:23
Speaker 4: Is preparing the military to survive a national catastrophe for
1:11:28
Speaker 4: 90 days. A, what the hell do y'all know is
1:11:31
Speaker 4: about to happen that we don't? And B, what's the
1:11:33
Speaker 4: plan for the American people during those same 90 days?
1:11:36
Speaker 6: Okay, this bears repeating, all right?
1:11:38
Speaker 4: According to Fortune, the Pentagon is developing an initiative called Fortress.
1:11:42
Speaker 6: Do your Googles.
1:11:43
Speaker 4: Okay, designed to allow major military bases to operate independently
1:11:47
Speaker 4: for at least 90 days if the country experiences a
1:11:51
Speaker 4: major infrastructure failure.
1:11:52
Speaker 6: We're talking power.
1:11:53
Speaker 4: Outages, cyber attacks, water shortages, disrupted supply chains. They're exploring
1:11:59
Speaker 4: independent power systems, nuclear, micro reactors, emergency supplies, everything necessary to.
1:12:05
Speaker 6: Keep these bases functioning. I've been on this radio telling y'all.
1:12:09
Speaker 4: That I think what happened in places like Gary, Indiana
1:12:12
Speaker 4: was a social experiment. OK, they've been warning us about
1:12:15
Speaker 4: a national blackout for years. They've been telling us the
1:12:17
Speaker 4: power grid was vulnerable.
1:12:19
Speaker 6: So this news doesn't surprise me.
1:12:20
Speaker 4: So I have no problem with the Pentagon getting the
1:12:22
Speaker 4: military to be prepared for that.
1:12:24
Speaker 6: That makes sense.
1:12:25
Speaker 4: OK, the United States military should absolutely have a plan
1:12:29
Speaker 4: for when things go left. But what about everybody else? OK,
1:12:33
Speaker 4: what about us citizens of this great country? You know,
1:12:37
Speaker 4: we the people. OK, because if the Pentagon is preparing
1:12:40
Speaker 4: for 90 days without electricity and water and outside supplies,
1:12:43
Speaker 4: clearly somebody believes that a doomsday scenario is serious enough.
1:12:48
Speaker 4: the plan for, because it could potentially happen. So what's
1:12:51
Speaker 4: the plan for the communities surrounding those military bases, okay?
1:12:55
Speaker 4: What happens to the elderly, huh? People on dialysis, folks
1:12:59
Speaker 4: who depend on refrigerated medication, okay?
1:13:01
Speaker 6: Families with young kids.
1:13:03
Speaker 4: And yes, as Minister Farrakhan has been preaching, we need
1:13:06
Speaker 4: to stockpile 90 days of food and water, but.
1:13:10
Speaker 6: With what money?
1:13:11
Speaker 4: OK, have you seen the price of groceries because of
1:13:15
Speaker 4: your president?
1:13:16
Speaker 6: All right. I can't afford groceries for the next nine days. Nonetheless, 90.
1:13:20
Speaker 4: OK, so many Americans can't afford to prepare for next weekend.
1:13:24
Speaker 4: Yet you want us to prepare for the apocalypse. You
1:13:27
Speaker 4: got people putting ten dollars worth of gas in their cars.
1:13:29
Speaker 4: You think they got 90 days of canned goods in
1:13:32
Speaker 4: the basement? And yes, I know we have FEMA. But
1:13:35
Speaker 4: FEMA under Trump don't hit the same. OK, we've already
1:13:38
Speaker 4: seen what happens when disasters overwhelm our emergency response systems.
1:13:42
Speaker 4: And believe me, the power grid going out around the
1:13:44
Speaker 4: country would absolutely overwhelm them. OK, I was born in 1978,
1:13:48
Speaker 4: so I've seen Katrina and Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria.
1:13:52
Speaker 4: I've seen the Texas power grid failure. I think that
1:13:54
Speaker 4: was 2021. Those overwhelmed us. OK, and those weren't nationwide
1:13:59
Speaker 4: catastrophes lasting 90 days. So imagine the power goes out,
1:14:03
Speaker 4: water stops running, communications fail and supply chains break down
1:14:07
Speaker 4: across the country. Who's bringing food to the neighborhoods? OK,
1:14:12
Speaker 4: how are hospitals staying operational? Who's making sure people have
1:14:16
Speaker 4: clean drinking water? These are things this country sucks at now.
1:14:21
Speaker 4: So imagine a 90 day power outage. OK, we talk
1:14:23
Speaker 4: about national security all the time. But what exactly are
1:14:26
Speaker 4: we securing if the institutions survive and the people don't?
1:14:31
Speaker 4: And please don't forget those soldiers have families, too. OK,
1:14:34
Speaker 4: what good is having a military base fully operational if
1:14:37
Speaker 4: the people those soldiers love are struggling to survive right
1:14:41
Speaker 4: outside the gates? Now, I'm not fear mongering this morning. OK,
1:14:44
Speaker 4: I'm just telling folks, look alive. OK, planning for the
1:14:47
Speaker 4: worst doesn't mean the worst is coming tomorrow. But if
1:14:49
Speaker 4: the Pentagon is taking the possibility of a 90 day
1:14:53
Speaker 4: infrastructure failure seriously, then you should, too. OK, the American
1:14:57
Speaker 4: people deserve to know what protections exist for them. Maybe
1:15:01
Speaker 4: those plans exist, maybe they don't. If they do, explain them,
1:15:05
Speaker 4: because I don't want to find out during a national
1:15:07
Speaker 4: emergency that the military has 90 days of electricity, food,
1:15:11
Speaker 4: and clean water while the rest of us are standing
1:15:14
Speaker 4: outside the gates looking like extras from The Walking Dead, okay?
1:15:18
Speaker 4: America cannot call itself prepared for a national catastrophe if only.
1:15:22
Speaker 6: The military is prepared to survive it, okay?
1:15:25
Speaker 4: Pete Hegseth, the Pentagon, if you're preparing to survive 90
1:15:28
Speaker 4: days without the rest of the country... who's making sure
1:15:31
Speaker 4: the rest of the country can survive those same 90 days?
1:15:35
Speaker 6: Please let Chelsea Handler give the Pentagon the biggest hee-haw.
1:15:38
Speaker 1: Hee-haw, hee-haw.
1:15:40
Speaker 13: That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
1:15:44
Speaker 1: All right, folks.
1:15:45
Speaker 6: You're about to see some things you ain't never seen before. Okay?
1:15:50
Speaker 10: All right.
1:15:50
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for that donkey today, sir.
1:15:51
Speaker 6: That's right.
1:15:52
Speaker 4: And speaking of social experiments, I just mentioned Gary, Indiana.
1:15:55
Speaker 4: Coming in, we have the mayor of Gary, Indiana, Eddie Melton. OK,
1:15:59
Speaker 4: he is an individual who led emergency response and accountability
1:16:05
Speaker 4: efforts after the two week power outage that affected thousands
1:16:08
Speaker 4: of residents.
1:16:08
Speaker 6: In Gary, Indiana.
1:16:10
Speaker 4: Anybody who knows a thing or two about how to
1:16:11
Speaker 4: navigate through a power outage.
1:16:13
Speaker 6: It's Mr. Mayor Eddie Milton.
1:16:15
Speaker 8: That's right.
1:16:15
Speaker 9: And salute to all our listeners from Gary, Indiana, that
1:16:18
Speaker 9: called us to let us know that the power was
1:16:19
Speaker 9: out and that they still didn't have power.
1:16:21
Speaker 1: And salute to... Mimi, for bringing that to us as well.
1:16:23
Speaker 9: We're going to talk to the mayor of Gary, Indiana
1:16:25
Speaker 9: when we come back.
1:16:26
Speaker 1: It's The Breakfast Club.
1:16:26
Speaker 6: Good morning.
1:16:27
Speaker 7: Good morning, everybody.
1:16:28
Speaker 9: It's DJ Envy, Just Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: We are The Breakfast Club. Lon La Rosa is here.
1:16:34
Speaker 1: We got a special guest in the building.
1:16:36
Speaker 6: Yes, indeed.
1:16:37
Speaker 9: I don't know if I like him already because Indiana
1:16:38
Speaker 9: has done so much damage to my New York mix.
1:16:40
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, we have the mayor, Eddie Melton. Welcome, brother.
1:16:44
Speaker 8: Bless you, sir.
1:16:44
Speaker 10: Thank you so much.
1:16:45
Speaker 6: Mayor of where, sir?
1:16:46
Speaker 1: I just said Indiana.
1:16:47
Speaker 6: No, you didn't. It's Gary, Indiana.
1:16:48
Speaker 3: He can't be the.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: Mayor of the whole state.
1:16:51
Speaker 6: Gary, Indiana.
1:16:51
Speaker 18: My bad.
1:16:51
Speaker 7: I'll take that.
1:16:52
Speaker 8: I'll take it.
1:16:53
Speaker 1: Well, morning, brother.
1:16:53
Speaker 6: How you feeling?
1:16:54
Speaker 8: I'm blessed, man. Thanks for having me back on the show.
1:16:56
Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, brother.
1:16:57
Speaker 4: Now, can we get an update on Gary? Like, where
1:16:58
Speaker 4: is Gary at today? Like, is everybody's power restored? Are
1:17:01
Speaker 4: there still families dealing with the aftermath of the outages?
1:17:04
Speaker 8: A lot of the aftermath is still lingering. As a
1:17:06
Speaker 8: lot of folks know, on August 11th, we had a,
1:17:09
Speaker 8: it's called a derecho. It's a straight line win. Ripped
1:17:12
Speaker 8: through two states, Illinois, Indiana, three counties in Indiana. We
1:17:16
Speaker 8: lost over 300,000 power outages of customers. That's throughout three counties.
1:17:22
Speaker 8: Gary had the largest outage. We had over 30,000 people
1:17:25
Speaker 8: that was out of power for two and a half weeks.
1:17:27
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
1:17:29
Speaker 8: If you can imagine being out of power, it's your
1:17:30
Speaker 8: home for two days.
1:17:31
Speaker 6: Yeah.
1:17:32
Speaker 8: Right? Things change. You lose food. You're out of work.
1:17:37
Speaker 8: Kids are not going to school. So one of the
1:17:39
Speaker 8: reasons I want to come on today is to warn
1:17:42
Speaker 8: folks utility companies and communities to prepare for these type
1:17:46
Speaker 8: of storms.
1:17:47
Speaker 1: What took so long to get back?
1:17:48
Speaker 9: Because we had, you know, the amount of listeners that
1:17:51
Speaker 9: we had from the area that every day, like we
1:17:54
Speaker 9: still don't have power. We got, you know, generators hooked
1:17:57
Speaker 9: up and, you know, we helping our neighbors plug into
1:17:59
Speaker 9: our generator and we both going, you know, getting gas.
1:18:02
Speaker 9: Like it was a lot. It wasn't, you know, one
1:18:03
Speaker 9: or two. There was a lot of people calling to say, yeah,
1:18:05
Speaker 9: we still don't have any power.
1:18:06
Speaker 8: So I joined with our governor. I joined our Congressman
1:18:09
Speaker 8: Frank Mervan. We launched an investigation. Right now we're investigating
1:18:13
Speaker 8: with the Indiana General Assembly, the legislature, to figure out
1:18:17
Speaker 8: why did it take so long. For full transparency, I
1:18:19
Speaker 8: worked for that company for over 15 years.
1:18:22
Speaker 10: The power company?
1:18:23
Speaker 8: Yeah, the power company. I knew exactly what it takes
1:18:25
Speaker 8: to restore power. So when I realized after the first
1:18:29
Speaker 8: three or four days, I'm like, wait a minute, I'm
1:18:31
Speaker 8: not seeing the level of boots on the ground that
1:18:35
Speaker 8: we should see to restore power. Gary is 52 square miles.
1:18:39
Speaker 8: San Francisco is 49 square miles.
1:18:40
Speaker 19: Hmm.
1:18:42
Speaker 8: So we should have had more people on the ground
1:18:45
Speaker 8: to help restore that power. But also the infrastructure was
1:18:48
Speaker 8: not invested in my belief. to the durability. That was
1:18:53
Speaker 8: a 100-mile-an-hour wind, straight line, ripped through two to three counties.
1:18:59
Speaker 8: Trees were uprooted, destroyed homes, destroyed cars. So they're still
1:19:04
Speaker 8: taking time for us to clean the city up. It's
1:19:07
Speaker 8: costing us $ 20 million. That's a clean city.
1:19:09
Speaker 4: How do you know it wasn't a tornado or something?
1:19:12
Speaker 8: A tornado?
1:19:12
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:19:13
Speaker 8: A tornado is going to rip through various neighborhoods. This
1:19:17
Speaker 8: ripped through the entire northern third of Indiana.
1:19:21
Speaker 6: That's crazy.
1:19:22
Speaker 8: And Gary had the largest wind speed. The meteorologist said
1:19:25
Speaker 8: 99 miles an hour. Some say 126 miles an hour.
1:19:30
Speaker 8: But the infrastructure can only withstand 65 to 75 miles
1:19:33
Speaker 8: an hour winds. So the light poles you see in
1:19:35
Speaker 8: your neighborhood growing up, 75 mile an hour winds, it's
1:19:40
Speaker 8: going to snap. And we got over 100 mile an
1:19:42
Speaker 8: hour winds. So that's the infrastructure durability that we got
1:19:46
Speaker 8: to say, what are you doing to harden the infrastructure
1:19:49
Speaker 8: in cities? Are you using steel poles? Are you going
1:19:52
Speaker 8: to cement the poles into the ground? So all of
1:19:55
Speaker 8: that stuff is important. We got to start asking these questions,
1:19:58
Speaker 8: especially in black and brown communities.
1:19:59
Speaker 1: What took so long, though?
1:20:00
Speaker 9: You know, because usually, you know, it's... the reason they
1:20:03
Speaker 9: can't do it is because it's downed trees or a
1:20:05
Speaker 9: circuit breaker broke or a circuit breaker, whatever, and they had.
1:20:07
Speaker 1: To fix that. So what took so long to get
1:20:09
Speaker 1: all that?
1:20:09
Speaker 8: It was the amount of devastation, man. When I tell you,
1:20:12
Speaker 8: my crew, my public works crew couldn't get down streets.
1:20:14
Speaker 8: People couldn't get through neighborhoods because of the trees that
1:20:17
Speaker 8: were uprooted in the roadways. The storm happened at around
1:20:21
Speaker 8: 11 a.m. I was heading into work. We went into
1:20:24
Speaker 8: City Hall. Everybody evacuated into the basement. By the time
1:20:29
Speaker 8: the storm had passed City Hall, I knew Because I
1:20:33
Speaker 8: seen trees literally flying through the entire community. Police, fire,
1:20:38
Speaker 8: public works, clearing the roads just to make sure folks
1:20:41
Speaker 8: can get down, get down the street. But power lines
1:20:44
Speaker 8: wrapped up into the trees.
1:20:46
Speaker 1: So they had to cut the power to make sure
1:20:48
Speaker 1: people weren't getting shocked, electrocuted.
1:20:50
Speaker 8: So it's like, get the tree, get the power. I'm
1:20:52
Speaker 8: not sending my team in to go get a tree
1:20:54
Speaker 8: if it's wrapped up in a live power line. You're
1:20:57
Speaker 8: asking for someone to get hurt. So it was that
1:21:00
Speaker 8: balance of that piece is the balance of having the
1:21:02
Speaker 8: right manpower and it's the balance of not having a
1:21:06
Speaker 8: strong enough infrastructure.
1:21:07
Speaker 4: As a mayor, at what point do you recognize that
1:21:10
Speaker 4: a power outage is becoming a public health emergency?
1:21:13
Speaker 8: I mean, you think about, I think about the senior citizens.
1:21:17
Speaker 1: That's right.
1:21:18
Speaker 8: That lost medicine.
1:21:21
Speaker 6: Yeah. People with medical conditions.
1:21:23
Speaker 8: I'm grateful our fire chief was able to work with
1:21:27
Speaker 8: another county to bring in Oxygen tanks, so we could
1:21:31
Speaker 8: refill people's oxygen tanks. This was an all-hands-on-deck situation. When
1:21:35
Speaker 8: I tell you the beautiful thing about it was I
1:21:38
Speaker 8: seen the community come together like never before. Like neighbors
1:21:41
Speaker 8: helping neighbors, residents coming out, just volunteering, churches, nonprofits. And
1:21:47
Speaker 8: folks like yourself that raise it to a national scale
1:21:50
Speaker 8: allows us to raise the money. To this day, there
1:21:54
Speaker 8: are people's homes that are still destroyed. So we were
1:21:57
Speaker 8: able to help people get their roofs repaired, help them
1:22:01
Speaker 8: get more food in their refrigerators and the cabinets and
1:22:04
Speaker 8: pay for those necessities. So it's been a journey.
1:22:07
Speaker 14: And then how much help did you have, you know,
1:22:10
Speaker 14: like restoring everything?
1:22:12
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:22:12
Speaker 8: Well, we're still in that restoration piece. The power is restored,
1:22:15
Speaker 8: but it's still taking time to get back to normal.
1:22:19
Speaker 8: We receive federal assistance. I declared a natural recovery. disaster immediately.
1:22:24
Speaker 8: Like within two days, I declared that the governor then
1:22:26
Speaker 8: declared a state natural disaster. Then we waited a week.
1:22:30
Speaker 8: Then President Trump declared the national emergency. I did speak
1:22:33
Speaker 8: with him during that time frame because we had to
1:22:35
Speaker 8: urge to get that done as soon as possible. What
1:22:38
Speaker 8: that does is release the federal dollars for us to
1:22:41
Speaker 8: get reimbursed for the money that we're spending to do
1:22:44
Speaker 8: the cleanup. But you only get reimbursed like 75%. So
1:22:47
Speaker 8: right now, the $ 20 million that we're expected to have
1:22:50
Speaker 8: to pay just for picking up the tree debris throughout
1:22:53
Speaker 8: the entire city is just $ 20 million. That's not including
1:22:57
Speaker 8: sidewalks being torn. That's not including traffic lights and signals
1:23:02
Speaker 8: being ripped out and destroyed. So it's taking time.
1:23:05
Speaker 9: Why did it feel like, I was going to ask,
1:23:07
Speaker 9: why did it feel like it wasn't much light on Gary, right? Honestly,
1:23:12
Speaker 9: we heard more about it from the listeners calling than
1:23:14
Speaker 9: we've actually seen on the news and the papers.
1:23:16
Speaker 13: And they were so thankful we were talking about it.
1:23:18
Speaker 13: It's like, how do you not?
1:23:20
Speaker 1: Yeah, so why do you think that is?
1:23:21
Speaker 8: I'm here to say thank you. Because when you don't, typically,
1:23:27
Speaker 8: we don't get the shine of the positive news. Homicide
1:23:31
Speaker 8: rates are down 56% in the city of Gary. That's
1:23:34
Speaker 8: the lowest it's been in 60 years. Our population has
1:23:37
Speaker 8: grown for the first time in 50 years. You think
1:23:40
Speaker 8: about it, Gary at one point had 180,000 people. And
1:23:42
Speaker 8: we're at 69 to 70,000 people right now, right? So
1:23:47
Speaker 8: when you lose half of a city, you lose the economy.
1:23:50
Speaker 8: You lose a lot of economic opportunity. But that's starting
1:23:52
Speaker 8: to turn. Nearly $ 4 billion of economic growth since I've
1:23:56
Speaker 8: been in office.
1:23:57
Speaker 6: U.S.
1:23:57
Speaker 8: Steel is investing into the city. 1,000 new jobs. FedEx
1:24:02
Speaker 8: building a brand new warehousing distribution. Building a new convention center.
1:24:07
Speaker 8: So nearly $ 4 billion. Four and a half billion dollars
1:24:09
Speaker 8: is getting ready to surge into the city. Employment opportunities
1:24:13
Speaker 8: are becoming more fruitful. That story is not being told.
1:24:18
Speaker 8: It's talking about crime in the past. It's talking about
1:24:20
Speaker 8: murder in the past. That's not our story anymore. So
1:24:23
Speaker 8: if we're not telling our stories, no one else is
1:24:25
Speaker 8: going to do it for us.
1:24:26
Speaker 4: I'm putting on my tinfoil poosh-icey mask right now.
1:24:30
Speaker 6: I feel like Gary, Indiana was a testing ground. You
1:24:33
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying?
1:24:34
Speaker 4: Because for years, I'm talking about for years, I've always
1:24:36
Speaker 4: been hearing about a potential national blackout. Like, what if
1:24:40
Speaker 4: America went dark? And there was a great article that
1:24:42
Speaker 4: came out earlier this year called The Blackout That Could
1:24:45
Speaker 4: Devastate America. What do you think about that? I think
1:24:50
Speaker 4: there's some reality to that. I don't think it was
1:24:53
Speaker 4: intentionally done. You can't predict a hundred mile an hour.
1:24:56
Speaker 7: That's true.
1:24:57
Speaker 19: Right.
1:24:57
Speaker 8: So let me say it like that. I don't think
1:24:59
Speaker 8: that was a sabotage or a setup. I do think
1:25:02
Speaker 8: that God has given us an opportunity to prepare, to
1:25:07
Speaker 8: prepare for the worst. And I say the worst because
1:25:11
Speaker 8: it could have been worse. We lost one life. There
1:25:14
Speaker 8: was a lady that got hit by storm debris, a
1:25:17
Speaker 8: piece of a business rooftop. And I thank God that
1:25:23
Speaker 8: we didn't have any more lives that were lost because
1:25:25
Speaker 8: of a storm like that. There's a young man, a family,
1:25:28
Speaker 8: the Walton family, a tree literally cut their house in half.
1:25:34
Speaker 7: Jesus.
1:25:36
Speaker 8: The tree is in his kitchen and his bedroom. So
1:25:39
Speaker 8: right now we've helped replace, remove that tree, cut that debris.
1:25:44
Speaker 8: Cutting one tree can cost you about $ 3, 000.
1:25:45
Speaker 6: Just one tree.
1:25:46
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:25:49
Speaker 8: And if you wasn't budgeted to spend that, and if
1:25:52
Speaker 8: you've got a slumlord that live in another state, you've
1:25:56
Speaker 8: got to track that person down to help get their
1:25:57
Speaker 8: tree cuts. It's a lot of factors that mayors have
1:26:01
Speaker 8: to start thinking about. Because if we have these ongoing
1:26:05
Speaker 8: storms and weather-changing events, it's getting hotter. That's right. It's
1:26:10
Speaker 8: getting colder. The wind and rain is getting even more devastating.
1:26:16
Speaker 6: Nobody's explaining the impact that the data centers are going
1:26:18
Speaker 6: to have either. On our utility.
1:26:21
Speaker 8: That's why we have to study these things to figure
1:26:24
Speaker 8: out how do we not put them in communities, in
1:26:27
Speaker 8: neighborhoods that's going to impact even the property taxes, right?
1:26:33
Speaker 8: So that level of investment is going to raise the
1:26:36
Speaker 8: value of homes. I want to prevent that type of
1:26:39
Speaker 8: stuff from pricing people out, right? So we can protect
1:26:43
Speaker 8: legacy homeowners. So you hit it on the head with that.
1:26:47
Speaker 8: So we have to start looking at that. I'll be...
1:26:49
Speaker 8: speaking at an event pretty soon to talk about data
1:26:53
Speaker 8: centers and the impact that it has and how can
1:26:56
Speaker 8: we better prepare because we need the technology. It's inevitable.
1:27:00
Speaker 8: We need to research and understand and identify medical advancements
1:27:07
Speaker 8: to address cancer and other diseases. But my question is this.
1:27:12
Speaker 8: When we were in high school, remember how large computers were? Yeah, absolutely.
1:27:17
Speaker 19: Right?
1:27:18
Speaker 8: How big the monitor was? In addition to the tower,
1:27:22
Speaker 8: what's going to happen when technology gets so rapid and
1:27:25
Speaker 8: you're not going to need that large of a facility?
1:27:28
Speaker 6: We there now.
1:27:29
Speaker 1: Look at our phones.
1:27:30
Speaker 6: And now they got the glasses. I saw a commercial
1:27:32
Speaker 6: with Robert Downey Jr. The glasses, the computers and the glasses.
1:27:35
Speaker 6: I'm like, damn.
1:27:36
Speaker 1: I see somebody get arrested the other day.
1:27:38
Speaker 9: She had a contact lens that they had a computer
1:27:40
Speaker 9: on a contact lens where she could count the cards
1:27:43
Speaker 9: at the casino.
1:27:45
Speaker 19: Oh, wow.
1:27:45
Speaker 1: So they would count the cars. This was in China?
1:27:47
Speaker 1: When he was in China?
1:27:48
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:27:48
Speaker 16: Yeah.
1:27:48
Speaker 1: They counted the cars in the casino. So they banned it. Wow. Yeah.
1:27:53
Speaker 8: But if those large facilities that they're building around the country,
1:27:57
Speaker 8: the data center piece, is not needed as big, then
1:28:01
Speaker 8: all of that land that was taken up in these communities,
1:28:03
Speaker 8: what's going to be the use of those facilities if
1:28:06
Speaker 8: they're no longer needed that size? So you have to
1:28:08
Speaker 8: plan in preparation that. for the future at that level.
1:28:12
Speaker 22: It's just crazy because people have conversations about their bills skyrocketing.
1:28:17
Speaker 22: I was reading about just some of the numbers that
1:28:19
Speaker 22: people are paying per month for their bills to this company,
1:28:22
Speaker 22: but it's so hard for them to figure out how
1:28:24
Speaker 22: to put money in the infrastructure and things that you
1:28:27
Speaker 22: can almost predict will happen when these natural disasters come.
1:28:30
Speaker 13: That's like, I don't know.
1:28:32
Speaker 8: My recommendation is if we're going to invest in data centers, right,
1:28:38
Speaker 8: there needs to be a community benefit agreement on a
1:28:41
Speaker 8: very local level to say, how do we reimburse or
1:28:44
Speaker 8: invest in the pockets of homeowners and residents that's going
1:28:49
Speaker 8: to help reduce their utility costs, that's going to incentivize
1:28:53
Speaker 8: them if that level of investment is going to take
1:28:55
Speaker 8: place in the community. So, yeah, bills are going higher.
1:29:00
Speaker 8: I'm encouraging the state of Indiana to remove the sales
1:29:04
Speaker 8: tax on gas and electric. That would help reduce it. Yes.
1:29:08
Speaker 17: Right.
1:29:09
Speaker 8: So all of these things, I think, are steps that
1:29:11
Speaker 8: we all can take. That's why we need to have leaders,
1:29:14
Speaker 8: the next presidents of the United States, talk about this.
1:29:17
Speaker 8: And we need to hear them say, what's your plan
1:29:19
Speaker 8: for a city like Gary? So we won't have to
1:29:22
Speaker 8: endure this, like you said, around the country.
1:29:24
Speaker 4: Can you say that community benefit thing again? Because that's
1:29:26
Speaker 4: what we had a... What was my guy's name that
1:29:29
Speaker 4: was running for governor of Nevada? Community Benefits Agreement.
1:29:32
Speaker 1: Oh, the brother's name.
1:29:33
Speaker 6: I think it's A-Ron. A-Ron. A-Ron Ford.
1:29:37
Speaker 4: And that's what I was talking about. I said, with
1:29:39
Speaker 4: the data centers, I'm like, yo, why can't they just
1:29:40
Speaker 4: take care of people's utilities? If they're coming into these communities,
1:29:43
Speaker 4: making billions of dollars, and causing people's utility prices to
1:29:47
Speaker 4: go up, why don't they just cover certain communities' utilities?
1:29:52
Speaker 8: I think that's what a lot of... I think Kansas
1:29:55
Speaker 8: is one community that's working on a community benefits agreement
1:29:58
Speaker 8: like that. Giving a credit on utility bills, giving a
1:30:01
Speaker 8: credit on your property taxes, all of that stuff is
1:30:03
Speaker 8: helpful for families in the community. One of the things
1:30:07
Speaker 8: that backup, well not backup generation, alternative generations just for
1:30:12
Speaker 8: those facilities. So it's not tapping into the actual grid itself.
1:30:16
Speaker 8: I think that's what they're looking at in Indiana. So
1:30:20
Speaker 8: prove to me that now it's telling when they're telling us,
1:30:24
Speaker 8: what impact is not going to happen when it comes
1:30:27
Speaker 8: down to water, when not, uh, in, in, in the, uh,
1:30:32
Speaker 8: overall utility rates. If data shows that you have to
1:30:36
Speaker 8: really break that down to the average everyday person or
1:30:39
Speaker 8: how am I not paying for this versus, uh, the
1:30:44
Speaker 8: corporation itself.
1:30:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:30:47
Speaker 1: Well, brother, we appreciate you for joining us this morning.
1:30:49
Speaker 6: Doing the good work.
1:30:50
Speaker 1: Absolutely.
1:30:50
Speaker 8: I appreciate the opportunity. Um, Shout out to everybody in Gary, Indiana.
1:30:55
Speaker 8: Much love and respect to all of the city workers
1:30:59
Speaker 8: that worked around the clock. Police, fire, public works. I mean,
1:31:03
Speaker 8: our secretaries, everybody was boots on the ground. But again,
1:31:07
Speaker 8: I wanted to come personally thank you guys and the
1:31:09
Speaker 8: residents for lifting this story up. And right now we're
1:31:12
Speaker 8: going to make sure that Gary, as we progress economically,
1:31:16
Speaker 8: we're seeing the jobs come. We're seeing the businesses and
1:31:19
Speaker 8: corporations come right now. And I said the last time,
1:31:22
Speaker 8: Gary's going to be the greatest comeback story in American history.
1:31:24
Speaker 8: I truly believe it. And I want to make sure
1:31:26
Speaker 8: that I keep in touch and share that with you
1:31:28
Speaker 8: guys as we move forward.
1:31:29
Speaker 17: Absolutely.
1:31:30
Speaker 1: I just hope America learns. Mayor Eddie Melton, thank you
1:31:32
Speaker 1: for joining us.
1:31:32
Speaker 8: This morning, brother.
1:31:33
Speaker 6: Thank you for keeping your jacket on, man. We done
1:31:34
Speaker 6: looked ridiculous in.
1:31:35
Speaker 1: Here this morning. I know.
1:31:38
Speaker 14: Same sweatshirt, same color.
1:31:40
Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club.

Speaker 13: I am blessed and I'm here.
1:31:51
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the latest. Lauren becoming a
1:31:54
Speaker 1: street fan.
1:31:55
Speaker 9: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
1:31:58
Speaker 6: She gets the details.
1:31:59
Speaker 13: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
1:32:03
Speaker 6: She be having the latest on you.
1:32:06
Speaker 7: The latest with Lauren La Rosa.
1:32:08
Speaker 4: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
1:32:10
Speaker 4: have a little bit of everything.
1:32:11
Speaker 1: Well, it's the latest.
1:32:12
Speaker 2: Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
1:32:14
Speaker 7: Talk to me!
1:32:15
Speaker 4: Top Dog Law, LL Cool Bite.
1:32:18
Speaker 1: Yes, y'all.
1:32:20
Speaker 13: So, Mary J.
1:32:21
Speaker 22: Blige has sold, we don't know how much of, but
1:32:24
Speaker 22: she has sold some of her publishing and her recording
1:32:28
Speaker 22: music assets to the company Primary Wave. Primary Wave has
1:32:31
Speaker 22: been buying up a lot of people's catalogs and publishing recently.
1:32:35
Speaker 22: Within the last, I would say, like two years, I've
1:32:37
Speaker 22: been seeing a lot of these stories. But the company
1:32:39
Speaker 22: announced this Monday and it included or talked about the
1:32:43
Speaker 22: fact that the deal will include some of Mary J.
1:32:45
Speaker 22: Blige's hits, including Family Affair, My Life, All Night Long,
1:32:50
Speaker 22: You Bring Me Joy, Be Without You, I Can Love You.
1:32:54
Speaker 6: That sounds like a half of Billie right there.
1:32:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
1:32:56
Speaker 4: That's a half of Billie at least. A drop on
1:32:59
Speaker 4: the clues box for the queen of hip-hop soul, Mary J.
1:33:01
Speaker 5: Blige.
1:33:01
Speaker 1: Depends on the percentage, but yeah.
1:33:03
Speaker 10: That's a lot of money.
1:33:03
Speaker 1: It's well-deserved. Mary's catalog goes crazy.
1:33:06
Speaker 21: So wait, okay, so somebody bought that from her? It's
1:33:10
Speaker 21: like the rights to ownership of the music. Or it
1:33:12
Speaker 21: could be, because publishing could also be the writing on
1:33:15
Speaker 21: things too, right?
1:33:15
Speaker 1: It could be.
1:33:16
Speaker 13: I don't know.
1:33:17
Speaker 22: We don't know specifics of the deal, but some people
1:33:20
Speaker 22: will own either their writing credits or... The music itself,
1:33:24
Speaker 22: if they own their masters or whatever, you can brokerage
1:33:26
Speaker 22: that and sell it kind of like how people do
1:33:27
Speaker 22: it with houses.
1:33:28
Speaker 13: Because it earns money as the music becomes greater.
1:33:31
Speaker 1: People sample it. People use it. Wouldn't it get her
1:33:36
Speaker 1: a lot more money if she was to keep it?
1:33:37
Speaker 1: It depends, because she gets that nut up front. So
1:33:40
Speaker 1: let's say this. Oh, no, that's right.
1:33:41
Speaker 6: That's how you like yours, too. I thought you used
1:33:43
Speaker 6: to like it in the back, though. And the 90s
1:33:45
Speaker 6: used to like it in the back. You changed?
1:33:46
Speaker 1: Oh, my God. I'm nutty, professor.
1:33:48
Speaker 6: You get nutty, you just can't take the nut in
1:33:50
Speaker 6: the back like you used to.
1:33:51
Speaker 9: Let's say they have it for 20 years, let's say,
1:33:53
Speaker 9: or 10 years.
1:33:54
Speaker 1: I'm premature, man. You will never. They'll give her that
1:33:59
Speaker 1: $ 500 million up front, so now she'll.
1:34:00
Speaker 9: Have that money in her pocket, and she don't have
1:34:02
Speaker 9: to wait for 20 years for that to accumulate.
1:34:04
Speaker 1: So she gets that up front.
1:34:06
Speaker 6: I don't know nothing about none of this.
1:34:07
Speaker 22: And sometimes artists will not sell the whole thing. Like,
1:34:10
Speaker 22: they'll sell, like, parts of it.
1:34:11
Speaker 19: Okay.
1:34:11
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:34:11
Speaker 21: Because I know Justin Bieber sold his as well.
1:34:15
Speaker 13: Yeah.
1:34:15
Speaker 1: T-Pain sold some of his. Britney Spears.
1:34:17
Speaker 13: There's a conversation about Britney as well.
1:34:19
Speaker 1: Like, a lot of.
1:34:20
Speaker 6: Artists have done it.
1:34:21
Speaker 1: A lot of people do it.
1:34:22
Speaker 9: But they do it because they get that huge lump
1:34:24
Speaker 9: sum of money up front and they can do whatever
1:34:25
Speaker 9: they want to do with it.
1:34:26
Speaker 7: Got it.
1:34:26
Speaker 6: Bruce Springsteen definitely sold his for, like, a half a B. Yeah.
1:34:30
Speaker 22: Well, yeah, that's all we got on it, though. No
1:34:32
Speaker 22: further details. So maybe there will be more that comes
1:34:33
Speaker 22: out from it.
1:34:34
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Mary.
1:34:35
Speaker 13: Of what the numbers are looking like.
1:34:36
Speaker 22: But in other news, Black Sam, Nipsey Hussle's brother, Black Sam,
1:34:42
Speaker 22: he opened up a Marathon Burger, or they, their family,
1:34:45
Speaker 22: opened up a Marathon Burger in L.A. But this one
1:34:48
Speaker 22: is in the airport, at the Los Angeles International Airport.
1:34:51
Speaker 22: And they are in Terminal 1.
1:34:53
Speaker 13: Yes, this is amazing. Let's take a listen to Black Sam.
1:34:56
Speaker 13: There was like a press conference that they held.
1:35:00
Speaker 23: I know to the family, to, uh, to, to the team,
1:35:04
Speaker 23: we got a big team, everybody, um, been with us
1:35:07
Speaker 23: since day one. And I know everybody appreciates this opportunity.
1:35:10
Speaker 23: Appreciate Greg for even giving us this chance. Kareem, um,
1:35:15
Speaker 23: the whole LAX, everybody that, uh, You know, been supportive
1:35:18
Speaker 23: of this. I know this means a lot to bro.
1:35:20
Speaker 6: He loved LAX.
1:35:21
Speaker 23: He the only person that could be five minutes to
1:35:24
Speaker 23: the plane, flies off, and he's hopscotching through checkpoint TSA,
1:35:30
Speaker 23: breaking all the rules to get him in and get
1:35:32
Speaker 23: him on the plane on time. The whole squad's on
1:35:34
Speaker 23: the phone like he missed it and he catched the flight.
1:35:37
Speaker 6: So he loved this airport.
1:35:38
Speaker 23: This Terminal 1 mean a lot to us. And, you know,
1:35:41
Speaker 23: this was always one of his dreams to get into
1:35:43
Speaker 23: food and beverage and just keep pushing the brand forward.
1:35:47
Speaker 6: So question.
1:35:47
Speaker 1: Terminal one is which one? That's, that's not Delta, right?
1:35:58
Speaker 22: When I looked it up, I saw a lot of
1:35:59
Speaker 22: Southwest going out of there. But I also saw a
1:36:01
Speaker 22: lot of articles about how Terminal 1 was really important
1:36:06
Speaker 22: to LAX specifically because a lot of the business expansion
1:36:09
Speaker 22: was happening in Terminal 1.
1:36:10
Speaker 13: But him calling it out, I think it's just where
1:36:12
Speaker 13: they used to fly out of a lot.
1:36:13
Speaker 22: Like, there's a lot of memories. But I did try
1:36:15
Speaker 22: to make.
1:36:16
Speaker 1: The connection, too. Yeah, I did, too. Delta's a smaller.
1:36:19
Speaker 22: But playing that clip, though, to me it sounds like
1:36:22
Speaker 22: that they just have a lot of memories because Nipsey
1:36:24
Speaker 22: was flying around doing so much business trying to figure
1:36:26
Speaker 22: out his career.
1:36:27
Speaker 13: So, yeah.
1:36:28
Speaker 1: When they opening up the one in New York, do
1:36:30
Speaker 1: we know?
1:36:30
Speaker 13: I don't have a date yet for that. It's still
1:36:32
Speaker 13: coming soon.
1:36:33
Speaker 6: JetBlue. JetBlue?
1:36:34
Speaker 13: Oh, I saw Southwest.
1:36:35
Speaker 6: Yeah, JetBlue.
1:36:36
Speaker 16: Okay.
1:36:36
Speaker 6: That makes sense. I know that because there ain't never
1:36:38
Speaker 6: no food. It's like two food spots.
1:36:40
Speaker 1: Same thing with the Delta one. There's only like one
1:36:42
Speaker 1: or two.
1:36:43
Speaker 13: You know what else, too?
1:36:44
Speaker 22: This, well, he mentions it here, but I don't know
1:36:46
Speaker 22: if you guys heard it, but they're going to be
1:36:48
Speaker 22: doing breakfast for the first time. Like Marathon Burger will
1:36:51
Speaker 22: be doing breakfast for the first time. They've been trying
1:36:52
Speaker 22: to figure out breakfast so it'll be on the menu there.
1:36:54
Speaker 22: Breakfast is so important at an airport because you always
1:36:56
Speaker 22: run into your flight, especially in the mornings.
1:36:58
Speaker 6: So it'll be a good look for them. Breakfast when
1:37:00
Speaker 6: you about to get on for a red eye. Yeah.
1:37:02
Speaker 6: You know what I mean?
1:37:03
Speaker 1: Do the food places be.
1:37:05
Speaker 6: No.
1:37:06
Speaker 21: Yeah, some of them, like the little marts, not the restaurants,
1:37:10
Speaker 21: they close at a certain time.
1:37:11
Speaker 14: But I don't ever get to the airport early enough
1:37:13
Speaker 14: to be eating no damn foods.
1:37:14
Speaker 9: Even when I just flew out of Houston, the only
1:37:16
Speaker 9: thing I had was I had to get pizza early
1:37:18
Speaker 9: in the morning.
1:37:18
Speaker 10: They had pizza early in the morning, so I had
1:37:20
Speaker 10: to order pizza.
1:37:21
Speaker 6: Yes.
1:37:23
Speaker 13: The time moves so fast.
1:37:24
Speaker 3: I know.

1:37:57
Speaker 9: do a Jay-Z mix.
1:37:58
Speaker 6: I did not tell you no lie like that.
1:37:59
Speaker 1: I don't know why you didn't tell me.
1:38:01
Speaker 6: I wanted to hear a Miley Cyrus mix this morning.
1:38:03

1:38:13
Speaker 9: He said, I will not talk to you ever if
1:38:16
Speaker 9: you don't play a whole mix.
1:38:17
Speaker 6: I just said that.
1:38:18
Speaker 19: Damn.
1:38:18
Speaker 4: I just told you that if you want your jacket—
1:38:20
Speaker 4: If you want your jacket for Christmas.

1:38:41
Speaker 1: us this morning.
1:38:42
Speaker 4: Salute to the good brother Da Vinci, man. I mean,
1:38:44
Speaker 4: if y'all want to sit around and be mad at
1:38:46
Speaker 4: Da Vinci, that's your choice, okay? But I think it's
1:38:50
Speaker 4: a lot more serious things in the world to be
1:38:52
Speaker 4: upset about. Sometimes, man, you got to let people make mistakes.
1:38:55
Speaker 4: You got to let people say dumb things. And, you know,
1:38:57
Speaker 4: you correct the record and keep it moving.
1:38:59
Speaker 19: Yep.
1:38:59
Speaker 6: That's it.
1:39:01
Speaker 1: Shout out to Da Vinci.
1:39:01
Speaker 6: And he apologized. You know what I mean?
1:39:04
Speaker 1: He did.
1:39:05
Speaker 6: I think people know... I respect people who know when
1:39:07
Speaker 6: they say something dumb.
1:39:08
Speaker 1: Right.
1:39:09
Speaker 6: Realize it's dumb and then try to correct it.
1:39:11
Speaker 1: Take accountability for it.
1:39:13
Speaker 21: Like, okay, I shouldn't have said those words like that.
1:39:15
Speaker 1: My delivery was off.
1:39:16
Speaker 6: But whatever.
1:39:17
Speaker 9: And also shoot to the mayor of Gary, Indiana, Eddie Milton.
1:39:20
Speaker 8: That's right.
1:39:21

1:39:23
Speaker 4: Fortress because as I told, you know, the mayor... in
1:39:26
Speaker 4: the conversation. I feel like Gary, Indiana was a testing
1:39:29
Speaker 4: ground for things to come. And then when you see
1:39:31
Speaker 4: what's going on with operation fortress, you might start connecting
1:39:34
Speaker 4: some dots.
1:39:34
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:39:34
Speaker 4: But pay attention, pay attention to the mayor, Eddie Felton
1:39:37
Speaker 4: interview today and donkey of the day.
1:39:39
Speaker 6: And, um, it's some Easter eggs in there.
1:39:40
Speaker 4: Not really Easter eggs. I'm telling you exactly what the
1:39:42
Speaker 4: hell is going to happen. Hopefully not, but there's a
1:39:44
Speaker 4: good chance it will.

1:41:55
Speaker 14: Oh, my God, no.
1:41:56
Speaker 6: I was a blizzard. Oh, my fault.
1:41:59
Speaker 1: It was a blizzard.
1:42:00
Speaker 7: You said ice.
1:42:00
Speaker 1: You got to be, you know, more detailed.
1:42:01
Speaker 14: No, that was crazy.
1:42:02
Speaker 6: I'm sorry.
1:42:02
Speaker 13: I thought you were talking about the ice.
1:42:03
Speaker 6: Oh, my bad.
1:42:04
Speaker 1: No, no, no. I knew y'all was getting to travel
1:42:06
Speaker 1: early in the year.
1:42:08
Speaker 6: The ice.
1:42:09
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy.
1:42:10

Speaker 1: Damn, y'all.
1:42:18
Speaker 6: And you got to go to Johina's. I already put
1:42:19
Speaker 6: you on. Yes, you did.
1:42:20
Speaker 1: I saw it. I did see.
1:42:22
Speaker 7: Okay.
1:42:22
Speaker 6: Johina's Birmingham is incredible.
1:42:24
Speaker 1: Brilliant.
1:42:24
Speaker 6: All right. Big sushi.
1:42:26
Speaker 9: You got a positive note? Oh, and salute to Bundy.
1:42:28
Speaker 9: When I was in Houston, he, stupid. When I was
1:42:33
Speaker 9: in Houston, they sent Trill Burgers to the suite we
1:42:35
Speaker 9: was at at the game. So I got a chance
1:42:37
Speaker 9: to eat some Trill Burgers.
1:42:38
Speaker 1: So salute to Bundy.
1:42:39
Speaker 6: I love Trill Burgers. Salute to Trill Burgers, man.
1:42:41
Speaker 1: You got a positive note?
1:42:42
Speaker 6: I do.
1:42:43
Speaker 4: It's all about your emotions. Your emotions deserve to be understood,
1:42:46
Speaker 4: not blindly obeyed.
1:42:47
Speaker 6: Okay.
1:42:48
Speaker 4: Anger, fear, and sadness are natural emotions.
1:42:50
Speaker 6: But they don't always show you the full picture.
1:42:53
Speaker 4: Real strength is learning to feel deeply without letting temporary
1:42:56
Speaker 4: emotions make permanent decisions for you. Are you controlling your
1:42:59
Speaker 4: emotions or are they controlling your choices, okay? You better
1:43:03
Speaker 4: master your mind or you might lose yourself. Train your
1:43:06
Speaker 4: mind to be stronger than your emotions or else you'll
1:43:09
Speaker 4: lose yourself every time. Emotions are powerful, but they are
1:43:12
Speaker 4: not always true. Your strength is not in avoiding emotion,
1:43:15
Speaker 4: but in not being controlled by it.
1:43:17
Speaker 6: Have a great day. Breakfast club, bitches.
1:43:20
Speaker 1: You all finished or you all done?
