0:37
Speaker 3: I've seen that online, yes.
0:38
Speaker 4: This past weekend. And, you know, we do it every year.
0:41
Speaker 4: I think this is our fourth year doing it. And
0:44
Speaker 4: this year I moderated a panel. Like I do every
0:46
Speaker 4: year about mental health, but it was mental health and
0:49
Speaker 4: the justice system and encouraging treatment over incarceration. So salute

Speaker 4: 30 years.
1:22
Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
1:22
Speaker 5: You know what I mean?
1:24
Speaker 4: Because, you know, growing up in an environment became a
1:27
Speaker 4: product of an environment. And, you know, tragically took somebody's life. But,

2:10
Speaker 3: Literally yesterday. You know what?
2:12
Speaker 15: I did a blog or vlog on my page. And
2:15
Speaker 15: the reason I did it is because people always say,
2:16
Speaker 15: what do y'all do on the weekend? Like, we got lives.
2:19
Speaker 15: We got kids.
2:20
Speaker 3: Like, we always moving. Like, it's always something. I enjoy it.

2:27
Speaker 4: This just happened to be one of those weekends where
2:29
Speaker 4: I had the kids activities. My daughter had a cheerleading
2:32
Speaker 4: showcase yesterday, but then also Friday and Saturday I had
2:35
Speaker 4: to do My other duties. Because I'm on the board
2:36
Speaker 4: of the International African American Museum. And I'm on the
2:39
Speaker 4: board of the United Justice Coalition. So I got to
2:41
Speaker 4: do my board duties.
2:42
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, yeah. That's what that was.
2:43
Speaker 9: No, no, no.
2:43
Speaker 3: My weekend is always packed like that. How was your weekend?
2:45
Speaker 3: You was at Howard Homecoming, right?
2:46
Speaker 16: I was at Howard Homecoming.
2:47
Speaker 10: For what?
2:47
Speaker 16: I went to... I got invited to host a karaoke
2:51
Speaker 16: on Sunday. It was like a karaoke brunch to wrap
2:52
Speaker 16: up the weekend.
2:53
Speaker 5: They know you didn't go there, though, right?
2:54
Speaker 16: Yes, they know I didn't go there. They know I
2:55
Speaker 16: went to Delaware State University. But it's all HBCU love,
2:58
Speaker 16: so they invite you in. You have a good time.
3:00
Speaker 4: I'm really learning to be like Envy, because that's what
3:03
Speaker 4: Envy will do. Envy will put on whoever jacket he's
3:04
Speaker 4: going to be at that weekend, act like he went there.
3:07
Speaker 10: I'm not putting on no jacket.
3:08
Speaker 3: I don't act like I go there. It's just HBCUs
3:11
Speaker 3: support other HBCUs.
3:13
Speaker 16: But they know I didn't go to.
3:14
Speaker 15: Everybody knows I went to Hampton but I support every
3:17
Speaker 15: HBCU and I pull up to every HBCU I enjoy
3:19
Speaker 15: it it's like being on the yard each and every week.
3:21

6:15
Speaker 3: What's up, Mimi? How was Howard Homecoming? And the Valkyries won.
6:17
Speaker 3: They beat the Atlanta Dream, by the way.
6:18
Speaker 20: Howard's Homecoming was amazing. My voice may be a little
6:21
Speaker 20: bit gone if we're going to get through this this morning.
6:23
Speaker 9: Okay.
6:23
Speaker 21: But it was good. Front page news, guys.
6:26
Speaker 20: It's sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest injury law firm.
6:30
Speaker 20: So we start this morning with questions about why Instagram
6:33
Speaker 20: shut down the account of a major anti-Trump protest group, right,
6:36
Speaker 20: as thousands of people were rallying across the country.
6:40
Speaker 21: So the group is called No Kings.
6:41
Speaker 20: And on Saturday, it organized nearly 3000 events across all
6:46
Speaker 20: 50 states, encouraging Americans to vote early in the midterms.
6:49
Speaker 20: But as those protests got underway, organizers say something unexpected
6:54
Speaker 20: left them unable to communicate with each other.
6:56
Speaker 21: Let's listen.
6:58
Speaker 3: It was joyful.
6:58
Speaker 5: It was powerful.
6:59
Speaker 22: There were people singing songs and waving banners. alerting the
7:01
Speaker 22: community that it's time to get out and vote. It's
7:03
Speaker 22: time to get ready to early vote. This is indeed
7:06
Speaker 22: the largest early vote effort in American history with more
7:09
Speaker 22: than 3,000 events all over the world this weekend. And
7:13
Speaker 22: in the middle of that joyful experience at the protest locally,
7:17
Speaker 22: I got word from my team that Mark Zuckerberg's meta
7:20
Speaker 22: had suspended the Instagram account for the No Kings Coalition.
7:24
Speaker 22: They suspended it. We didn't have access to it. We
7:26
Speaker 22: couldn't post to it. Nobody could go to the page.
7:28
Speaker 22: That was for about an hour and a half during
7:30
Speaker 22: the height of the mobilization while people were still getting
7:33
Speaker 22: their No Kings protests together.
7:34
Speaker 5: I mean, they shut it down.
7:37
Speaker 4: If they did do that, they shut it down because
7:39
Speaker 4: they can. Y'all do know the traditional right to free
7:41
Speaker 4: speech does not apply to private social media platforms.
7:44
Speaker 3: Y'all do know that, right? I don't know if y'all
7:46
Speaker 3: knew that or not.
7:47
Speaker 4: The First Amendment protects you from government censorship, not from
7:51
Speaker 4: restrictions by private businesses like social media platforms.
7:55
Speaker 7: Yeah.
7:56
Speaker 20: Well, even after the page came back, organizers say they
7:59
Speaker 20: couldn't post anything, communicate with other supporters or several other
8:03
Speaker 20: for several hours. Now, Instagram's parent company Meta said it
8:06
Speaker 20: was a mistake. The company says the account was posting
8:09
Speaker 20: so much that it automated it automatically flagged the system
8:13
Speaker 20: and it temporarily shut down. Meta has apologized and says
8:16
Speaker 20: the problem has been fixed.
8:18
Speaker 21: But still, you know, there's no evidence that it was
8:20
Speaker 21: politically motivated.
8:22
Speaker 20: But, you know, protesters and people and organizers, they believe
8:26
Speaker 20: that that has something to do with it.
8:27
Speaker 5: And Meta can do that whenever they want to.
8:30
Speaker 4: Somebody had a conversation with me a few months ago
8:32
Speaker 4: and they were saying, you know, how are we supposed
8:34
Speaker 4: to communicate? You know, if they if they. if we
8:38
Speaker 4: don't be on these social media platforms. I was like,
8:39
Speaker 4: the way we used to communicate prior to social media.
8:42
Speaker 4: But you don't remember that because you weren't more in
8:44
Speaker 4: the 1900s like me.
8:45
Speaker 12: Okay?
8:45
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But that takes work, though.
8:47
Speaker 3: I didn't say work.
8:48
Speaker 5: Pick up the phone and call somebody.
8:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, that takes more work.
8:50
Speaker 5: Have conversations face-to-face.
8:51
Speaker 3: That takes more work. People don't want to do the work. Yeah,
8:54
Speaker 3: that takes more work.
8:55
Speaker 4: Messaging used to be through art, through music, through books. Like,
8:59
Speaker 4: why we can't communicate in that way?
9:00
Speaker 15: Yeah, people are lazy and they rely on social media.
9:02
Speaker 15: I was having the same conversation with a promoter that says, yeah...
9:05
Speaker 15: It's hard to get people on social media. I'm from
9:07
Speaker 15: a time where you would get a fly and go
9:08
Speaker 15: hand in hand. I would go and see people. If
9:11
Speaker 15: I had to promote something, I would have been at
9:12
Speaker 15: Howard Homecoming this week. If I had an artist, my artist.
9:15
Speaker 3: Would have been at Howard Homecoming this week.
9:17
Speaker 15: See people, touch people, speak to people.
9:20
Speaker 4: Y'all don't remember that.
9:22
Speaker 5: Lazy bastards.
9:24
Speaker 3: I don't know how to do nothing without social media.
9:30
Speaker 5: It's so strange to me.
9:30
Speaker 21: It's making people a lot lazier. Absolutely.
9:33
Speaker 20: But speaking of early voting, hundreds of college students in
9:37
Speaker 20: North Carolina, they marched nearly an hour to the polls
9:39
Speaker 20: after their school on campus.
9:41
Speaker 21: It lost its voting location.
9:42
Speaker 20: So students from two HBCUs, North Carolina A & T
9:45
Speaker 20: and Bennett College, along with UNC Greensboro, they joined forces.
9:50
Speaker 21: For the first day of early voting.
9:52
Speaker 20: The students at AT & T, or excuse me, A &
9:54
Speaker 20: T and UNC Greensboro, they used to be able to
9:58
Speaker 20: vote on campus, but this year, election officials, they rejected
10:01
Speaker 20: the plan to bring back the polling station. So they
10:03
Speaker 20: left A & T and they walked for 45 minutes.
10:07
Speaker 20: to an early voting site. They organized a rally. They
10:10
Speaker 20: brought students from all three schools together, and they marched
10:12
Speaker 20: to the polls with state lawmakers to make their voices heard.
10:15
Speaker 4: Drop on the clues bombs for those kids, okay? They
10:17
Speaker 4: didn't just go online and start posting a bunch of angry...
10:21
Speaker 4: What do you.
10:21
Speaker 5: Call them now?
10:21
Speaker 3: Exes? I don't know.
10:23
Speaker 5: What do they call it?
10:24
Speaker 10: Tweets? Whatever.
10:27
Speaker 4: They didn't get on social media and just post a
10:30
Speaker 4: bunch of angry comments.
10:30
Speaker 5: They went out in the streets.
10:31
Speaker 7: Yeah.
10:32
Speaker 5: And actually did something.
10:33
Speaker 12: Yeah.
10:33
Speaker 9: OK.
10:34
Speaker 12: They did.
10:35
Speaker 20: And so early voting in North Carolina, it ends October 31st.
10:39
Speaker 20: And also just remember that it is 15 days away.
10:44
Speaker 20: Election Day.
10:45
Speaker 8: 15 days away, guys.
10:46
Speaker 21: So we want to.
10:48
Speaker 16: Get mobilized out there.
10:48
Speaker 5: If you don't wake your ass up, okay?
10:49
Speaker 4: I know Howard University kicked your ass.
10:51
Speaker 3: I told her.
10:52
Speaker 16: When I walked in this morning, I'm like, Mimi, how
10:54
Speaker 16: did you make it here?
10:55
Speaker 10: Okay.
10:56
Speaker 16: Lauren left me.
10:57
Speaker 21: She was like, she had to go.
10:58
Speaker 16: And I was like, I'm coming.
11:00
Speaker 8: I was tired.
11:00
Speaker 3: You stayed. I was like, I got a job. I'm
11:02
Speaker 3: going to work. I don't know about you. You stay
11:04

Speaker 3: This is your time to get it off your chest.
11:40
Speaker 3: Whether you're mad or blessed.
11:41
Speaker 5: 800-585-1051.
11:42
Speaker 3: We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club.
11:47
Speaker 10: Hello, who's this?
11:48
Speaker 12: Envy!
11:49
Speaker 3: What's up, Envy? What's up, Trav?
11:51
Speaker 7: Hey, man.
11:52
Speaker 12: What's up, Charlamagne?
11:53
Speaker 10: Peace, sis.
11:54
Speaker 5: How are you, my brother? Keep your head up, man.
11:56
Speaker 9: Peace, sis. Hey, man.
11:57
Speaker 3: Hey, man.
11:59
Speaker 12: Hey, Big Low. Big Low, what's up, Low?
12:01
Speaker 16: Hey, good morning, Trav.
12:03
Speaker 5: That's what they calling up, boo.
12:06
Speaker 10: I'm a little.
12:07
Speaker 16: Tell me you don't start with me.
12:09
Speaker 3: Okay.
12:10
Speaker 9: Good morning, tribe.
12:11
Speaker 21: Good morning.
12:13
Speaker 12: Hey, man. I just got to say, I got two
12:15
Speaker 12: things to say this morning, man. One, my daughter's cowboys...
12:19
Speaker 12: is letting me down. But everybody in the NFC East
12:22
Speaker 12: sucks right now.
12:23
Speaker 9: We suck.
12:24
Speaker 4: We suck like one of your favorite parties, Trav.
12:26
Speaker 7: Wow.
12:27
Speaker 4: Hey, let me tell you something else too, Trav. We
12:29
Speaker 4: need to boycott the Cowboys. I've been thinking about this.
12:32
Speaker 4: The reason we need to boycott the Cowboys is because
12:34
Speaker 4: they got to lose some money in order for them
12:36
Speaker 4: to properly start investing in the team, yo.
12:38
Speaker 5: The reason that they don't care about losing.
12:40
Speaker 12: You sound like my dad right now, Charlamagne.
12:42
Speaker 17: Huh?
12:43
Speaker 12: You sound like my dad. My dad always say that.
12:45
Speaker 12: I'm going to stop supporting this team. They're getting on
12:46
Speaker 12: my nerves. They're getting on my nerves.
12:48
Speaker 4: That's the only reason, because they're the number one franchise
12:50
Speaker 4: in the world. They make so much money, Jerry Jones
12:52
Speaker 4: don't feel like they got to do anything. I'm telling you, bro,
12:55
Speaker 4: we got to boycott.
12:56
Speaker 3: Well, the Giants is number one in the division, Trav.
12:57
Speaker 5: That means nothing.
12:59
Speaker 12: Hey, man, Envy, I don't want to hear that. I
13:01
Speaker 12: do want to say something else real quick, man.
13:04
Speaker 17: There's a bold-faced, low-down, dirty liar. that called up here
13:10
Speaker 17: on Friday that lied on me. His name is Stacy, a.k.a.
13:14
Speaker 17: The Muffin Man, who lives on Dirty Lane.
13:17
Speaker 12: He called up here and said... Well, you wasn't here, Char.
13:20
Speaker 12: Stacy called up there after a month.
13:23
Speaker 8: Oh, I heard it.
13:23
Speaker 5: I heard it Friday morning. I was on the way
13:25
Speaker 5: to that point.
13:25
Speaker 8: I heard it.
13:26
Speaker 10: He said that.
13:27
Speaker 12: It said that I lied on my sister's name and
13:31
Speaker 12: just made up that he was speaking on her. Like,
13:34
Speaker 12: I would ever do something. If I ever did that
13:36
Speaker 12: and called y'all and said, I want y'all to lose
13:38
Speaker 12: all respect to me. If I would have ever used
13:41
Speaker 12: my sister's name to tarnish his name. That voice said
13:45
Speaker 12: multiple things. about my dead sister. Said she was dried
13:49
Speaker 12: up in the dirt. Said that she had, it's her
13:51
Speaker 12: lips as black as mine. Asked me where my dead
13:54
Speaker 12: sister is. Saying that when I go low, he go
13:56
Speaker 12: to hell like where my dead sister is. He needs
13:59
Speaker 12: to stop lying.
14:00
Speaker 9: And you are a low down, dirty liar.
14:03
Speaker 12: And Envy, I understand that he does stuff for you
14:05
Speaker 12: and that's your, uh, I don't know what he is
14:07
Speaker 12: to you, but he is not a positive person. He
14:09
Speaker 12: has an evil spirit, and it jumped out the day
14:11
Speaker 12: that he called up there and talked to Lauren, Jess,
14:14
Speaker 12: and Charlamagne, and they asked him to apologize, and he
14:18
Speaker 12: was standing on business, and he hung up the phone
14:20
Speaker 12: and got on his Instagram. and was standing on ten toes,
14:24
Speaker 12: and he was talking about my little sister, and to
14:26
Speaker 12: call back a month later, and then lie and say,
14:29
Speaker 12: I lied on you about my sister's name, that is
14:32
Speaker 12: crazy to me.
14:33
Speaker 3: Okay. Well, I don't like this gay-on-gay crime. I really don't.
14:37
Speaker 15: I really wish you guys at least, you ain't got
14:40
Speaker 15: to like each other, but at least squash it.
14:42
Speaker 3: And you said me and Stacey. Me and Stacey, we
14:44
Speaker 3: don't have no business together. He just supports the breakfast club.
14:46
Speaker 12: If somebody talks about, when Jesus and Mary talked about
14:48
Speaker 12: your wife, I know how you felt. Trav not wrong.
14:51
Speaker 15: I wasn't there when he talked about you.
14:55
Speaker 23: Could you shut up and stay out of the bottom business?
14:57
Speaker 23: Stay out of the bottom business. Stay out of the
14:59
Speaker 23: bottom business.
15:00
Speaker 12: You think y'all stupid? And Lowell, thank you for holding
15:06
Speaker 12: him accountable the other day because you know that he
15:09
Speaker 12: was lying.
15:10
Speaker 16: I just wish y'all figured this out and just, or not,
15:13
Speaker 16: just move on.
15:13
Speaker 10: Stay out of Bottom's business.
15:15
Speaker 1: He put me in it.
15:15
Speaker 17: He put me on the bottom.
15:17
Speaker 12: He never saw me at Charlemagne's thing. I would have
15:20
Speaker 12: punched him in the mouth if he saw me.
15:21
Speaker 3: Not at the Mental Wealth. You can't do it there.
15:23
Speaker 10: Y'all can't be.
15:24
Speaker 5: I was trying to come outside.
15:26
Speaker 4: If y'all had fought at the Mental Wealth Expo, I
15:27
Speaker 4: would have got both of y'all 51-50 right there on
15:29
Speaker 4: the spot.
15:30
Speaker 3: Okay?
15:31
Speaker 4: I would have took y'all away right there and put
15:33
Speaker 4: y'all in those great jackets right there, right there.
15:35
Speaker 5: At that event, okay? All right, y'all. Have a great day.
15:39
Speaker 3: Damn, it got that bad with them? I don't remember
15:42
Speaker 3: none of it.
15:42
Speaker 16: But remember when Stacey called, he said, I didn't even
15:45
Speaker 16: see him at the expo. And he was there. And
15:48
Speaker 16: I was like, that's how you know that this isn't real.
15:50
Speaker 16: Because you don't even know what he looks like, the
15:51
Speaker 16: ghost he's in.
15:52
Speaker 5: No, that's not what happened. He said that he felt
15:54
Speaker 5: like he walked right by him.
15:55
Speaker 16: He said he didn't know who it was, though.
15:57
Speaker 3: He said, I might have walked by and he sat
15:58
Speaker 3: on the edge.
15:58
Speaker 16: But if I really got an issue with somebody, I
16:00
Speaker 16: know who you are. Like, I'm going to see you
16:02
Speaker 16: and know exactly who you are. Like, I see you.
16:04
Speaker 3: That would have been so stupid if they had got
16:06
Speaker 3: into a fight at a mental wealth expo.
16:07
Speaker 10: They wouldn't.
16:08
Speaker 16: I hope they wouldn't have got that far. But you
16:10
Speaker 16: can't play with people's dead family members.
16:11
Speaker 10: I agree.
16:12
Speaker 16: That's some serious stuff.
16:13
Speaker 14: I agree.
16:14
Speaker 3: Anyway, get it off your chest.
16:15
Speaker 8: 800-585-1051.
16:16
Speaker 15: If you need to vent, hit us now. It's The
16:18
Speaker 15: Breakfast Club.
16:19
Speaker 3: Good morning.
16:20
Speaker 10: It's a new day.
16:21
Speaker 3: This is your time to get it off your chest.
16:24
Speaker 9: Wake up.
16:24
Speaker 3: Whether you're mad or blessed. It's time to get up
16:27
Speaker 3: and get something.
16:29
Speaker 9: Call up now.
16:30
Speaker 14: 800-585-1051.
16:31
Speaker 3: We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello,
16:34
Speaker 3: who's this?
16:34
Speaker 9: Hey, what's up, boys?
16:35
Speaker 13: This is Corey from the Bronx.
16:37
Speaker 3: Corey from the Bronx.
16:38
Speaker 11: What up?
16:38
Speaker 3: Get it off your chest.
16:40
Speaker 14: What's good, man?
16:40
Speaker 13: Yeah, I just want to get off my chest right quick, man.
16:42
Speaker 13: I bought an MTA. I work for New York City Transit.
16:46
Speaker 13: I'm a conductor. And we've been without a contract since
16:50
Speaker 13: about March. The MTA refuses to give its employees a
16:55
Speaker 13: new contract. Right now we're working without a contract. We're
16:58
Speaker 13: expected to show up every day and do our job
17:01
Speaker 13: and keep the trains running and the buses moving and
17:04
Speaker 13: get everybody to work on top so they can make
17:08
Speaker 13: their chicken. But we out here without a contract and
17:12
Speaker 13: they keep trying to lowball us. You know, nurses went
17:14
Speaker 13: on strike. Long Island Railroad employees went on strike. They
17:18
Speaker 13: all got their money.
17:19
Speaker 22: But M.T.
17:19
Speaker 13: Is trying to lowball the subway and the bus operators.
17:23
Speaker 13: They're not trying to give us a new contract. So
17:25
Speaker 13: I don't know who's listening or who can hear this,
17:28
Speaker 13: but we're definitely trying to get a new contract going.
17:31
Speaker 5: Y'all going on strike?
17:32
Speaker 13: That's the thing. They don't even allow us to go
17:34
Speaker 13: on strike because they're trusting you that if you go
17:36
Speaker 13: on strike, they're going to dock you two days of
17:38
Speaker 13: pay for every day that you strike.
17:40
Speaker 4: How can they determine whether y'all go on strike?
17:43
Speaker 5: The whole point of it. Of course they don't want
17:45
Speaker 5: you to go on strike.
17:46
Speaker 15: Well, I think they have some clause if they go
17:48
Speaker 15: on strike, they could be fired or something like that.
17:51
Speaker 3: That's the whole point of striking.
17:53
Speaker 4: If everybody sticks together in strikes, then they're going to
17:56
Speaker 4: have to meet y'all demand.
17:57
Speaker 13: But see, that's the problem.
17:59
Speaker 3: We got a union.
17:59
Speaker 13: The union and representatives don't even stick together because right
18:02
Speaker 13: now they're beating among themselves. So if the union not
18:05
Speaker 13: sticking together, you know, the employees, we don't even know
18:08
Speaker 13: if they can be able to save us if we
18:10
Speaker 13: do what's to go on strike.
18:12
Speaker 12: So it's like, you know, we between a rock and
18:14
Speaker 12: a hard place.
18:15
Speaker 5: What's the point of having a union?
18:16
Speaker 9: No, the union.
18:17
Speaker 13: Man, you don't want to ask me.
18:19
Speaker 14: Ask them.
18:20
Speaker 12: I just work here.
18:21
Speaker 3: Well, salute to all the MTA workers out there. And
18:22
Speaker 3: you know what? And salute to all the post office workers.
18:24
Speaker 3: I was talking to a.
18:25
Speaker 15: Post office worker, and he was saying that the post office,
18:28
Speaker 15: he said a lot of the post office people actually
18:30
Speaker 15: get paid by doing overtime.
18:32
Speaker 3: And what the post office is doing is they're stopping
18:35
Speaker 3: overtime and they're hiring temp workers.
18:37
Speaker 15: And the reason they're hiring the temp workers is they
18:38
Speaker 15: can pay them hourly and they don't have to pay
18:40
Speaker 15: for medical.
18:41
Speaker 3: They don't have to pay for dental.
18:42
Speaker 15: So a lot of these post office workers can't survive
18:44
Speaker 15: because the overtime that they were getting to pay their bills,
18:47
Speaker 15: they can't even get anymore. So there's a lot of
18:49
Speaker 15: people saying I can't work after working there 10, 12
18:51
Speaker 15: years and I can't work.
18:52
Speaker 3: Anymore because I'm not getting the same salary. Right. So
18:55
Speaker 3: salute to all the post office workers out there.
18:56
Speaker 13: You know, I don't know if the mayor or anybody,
18:59
Speaker 13: you know, who's in connection with him is listening. But,
19:01
Speaker 13: I mean, you know, we work for his city. So
19:04
Speaker 13: he stepped in when it came time for the nurses. And,
19:06
Speaker 13: you know, he helped them to get a new contract.
19:08
Speaker 13: So we're just trying to see if we can get
19:11
Speaker 13: somebody who's listening to step in and do something for us, man. Because,
19:14
Speaker 13: you know, we're trying to get paid, too, in this economy.
19:17
Speaker 8: It's rough out here, you know?
19:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got to take care of the MTA workers, man.
19:20
Speaker 4: MTA workers are the veins of this city.
19:23
Speaker 16: It's certain jobs that I just feel like people just
19:25
Speaker 16: wouldn't play with because they wouldn't know how important they
19:28
Speaker 16: are to people's day-to-day.
19:29
Speaker 5: If the MTA workers decide not to go to work,
19:31
Speaker 5: this whole city will be crippled.
19:32
Speaker 3: Shut down.
19:33
Speaker 8: Crazy.
19:33
Speaker 3: Hello, who's this?
19:35
Speaker 16: Hello, this is Nona.
19:36
Speaker 3: Nona, it's your birthday, Nona. It's my birthday. I'm 44 today.

Speaker 16: So I want to start off the latest today talking
22:55
Speaker 16: about a place that I was at over the weekend.
22:57
Speaker 16: We celebrated Jalen Brown's 30th birthday.
23:00
Speaker 3: OK.
23:00
Speaker 16: The theme of it was JB30. It was so nice.
23:02
Speaker 16: Shout out to TheoryCon PR, which is a team that
23:04
Speaker 16: works with him. But it was in Philly and it
23:07
Speaker 16: was at this rooftop. We were on like the 50th floor.
23:09
Speaker 16: You walk in, they had two different sides. On one side,
23:11
Speaker 16: it was set up like a casino and everybody could
23:14
Speaker 16: do the different tables and gamble. They had it where
23:17
Speaker 16: they were sketching you as a design. So you take
23:20
Speaker 16: a picture, it would come out as a sketch. They
23:22
Speaker 16: had live people actually sketching you as well.
23:24
Speaker 3: I saw a picture you posted of you and your boo.
23:27
Speaker 3: You saw that?
23:27
Speaker 5: The animated picture.
23:29
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
23:30
Speaker 16: We had a sketch as well, too.
23:31
Speaker 20: Yeah.
23:31
Speaker 16: It was only half of him, though.
23:33
Speaker 5: They couldn't fit all of him in.
23:35
Speaker 23: Wow.
23:35
Speaker 3: You know what?
23:36
Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
23:36
Speaker 5: Can you finish the story? Tell me more about Jamie's party.
23:38
Speaker 16: I'll come back to you and how you're a hater, okay?
23:39
Speaker 16: And we got to debunk some things.
23:40
Speaker 5: Tell me more about Jamie's party.
23:41
Speaker 16: So on the other side of the party was like
23:43
Speaker 16: the dance floor. There was a live band, Hennessy's sponsored bar.
23:48
Speaker 16: But there were so many people there in attendance. You
23:50
Speaker 16: walk in. LeBron, of course, is there. All of the sisters.
23:54
Speaker 16: We were in like the elevator with Tyrese Maxey. Mad people.
23:57
Speaker 10: Envy.
23:58
Speaker 16: I got in the elevator and one of the guys
23:59
Speaker 16: from the Sixers said, tell Envy to stop playing with you.
24:01
Speaker 16: We're definitely going to look out and make sure you
24:02
Speaker 16: have the good seats for the season.
24:03
Speaker 5: That's a lie.
24:04
Speaker 16: So thank you.
24:04
Speaker 3: What player said that, though?
24:05
Speaker 16: It wasn't a player. It was somebody that works on
24:07
Speaker 16: the business side.
24:08
Speaker 3: He was just making conversation. Yeah, he was just making conversation.
24:10
Speaker 16: We'll see what happens.
24:10
Speaker 4: That's going to be a hard ticket to get, especially if.
24:13
Speaker 16: They win this year. Because it's already so lit. I'm
24:16
Speaker 16: talking about in this party alone, right? You had, I mean,

Speaker 16: so many people were there, like so many names.
24:31
Speaker 3: Was it open to the public?
24:32
Speaker 16: No, it was private. Taylor Townsend was there, tennis player.
24:35
Speaker 16: Got to talk to her a bit. I told her
24:37
Speaker 16: I wanted her to come on up here as well.
24:38
Speaker 16: Talil was there too. I don't know if he was
24:40
Speaker 16: streaming or just enjoying himself, but he was there having
24:43
Speaker 16: a good time. It was just a great time. But
24:46
Speaker 16: it was a lot of people there. And I'm like,

27:25
Speaker 15: Yeah, I'm going to go see it. Probably, I'm going
27:26
Speaker 15: to try to go see it today. But this is
27:28
Speaker 15: one of the movies, if you have young boys, you
27:30
Speaker 15: should take your son to go see it. That's like,
27:31
Speaker 15: that could be kind of like a bonding point. And
27:33
Speaker 15: that's what I wanted to do with Jackson this weekend.
27:35
Speaker 15: But I also had Peyton, and I didn't want to
27:36
Speaker 15: take Peyton. Peyton's the baby.
27:38
Speaker 3: Peyton's the baby.
27:38
Speaker 5: She's four years old.
27:39
Speaker 9: But you know what?
27:39
Speaker 11: I didn't take her.
27:40
Speaker 5: I think they.
27:41
Speaker 4: I don't know if they'll appreciate it because they didn't
27:43
Speaker 4: grow up on the video game. They'll probably like it
27:45
Speaker 4: just for the movie. But it hits different when you
27:47
Speaker 4: actually played the video game.
27:48
Speaker 15: Well, I downloaded it on my Switch and his Switch.
27:51
Speaker 15: So we've been playing the last couple of weeks when
27:52
Speaker 15: they announced it.
27:53
Speaker 3: So I think he knows some of the characters. He
27:55
Speaker 3: knows Ryu. He knows some of them.
27:57
Speaker 4: You know how you know I was born in 1978?
28:00
Speaker 4: When he said download on the Switch, I immediately went
28:02
Speaker 4: to having to go pick a Switch off the tree.
28:03
Speaker 4: And I was just thinking, man, I wonder if parents
28:06
Speaker 4: in the South now be telling their kids, go download
28:09
Speaker 4: the Switch.
28:12
Speaker 16: I know people that took their children over the weekend
28:18
Speaker 16: and I think the kids are just excited to see
28:20
Speaker 16: all the action and all the stuff.
28:21
Speaker 15: Red Son is four years old. He said it wasn't gory.
28:24
Speaker 15: No sex scenes. It wasn't bad.
28:25
Speaker 3: So yes. I could have took Peyton, but that's all right.
28:27
Speaker 3: Just me and Jackson will go.
28:28
Speaker 16: Yeah, 50 Cent did this Variety article where he was
28:31
Speaker 16: talking a lot about, like, even his character, all the
28:33
Speaker 16: weight loss and all the preparation he had to put in.
28:36
Speaker 16: And I didn't know this, but did you guys know
28:37
Speaker 16: that the look of his character is, like, a mimic
28:40
Speaker 16: of Michael Tyson?
28:41
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson?
28:42
Speaker 5: Yes, girl!
28:43
Speaker 16: I didn't know that.
28:43
Speaker 10: Could you.
28:45
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
28:46
Speaker 5: I was reading it and I was like, oh my God.
28:48
Speaker 10: She never played in an arcade. Okay, what the.
28:51
Speaker 3: Hell you mean? Did we know that?
28:53
Speaker 5: I've been in an arcade before. Did we know that?
28:56
Speaker 3: Yes, we knew that.
28:57
Speaker 16: And then they were talking about, well, the writer of
29:00
Speaker 16: the Variety article brought up all of 50 Cent and
29:02
Speaker 16: Mike Tyson's, like, how.
29:04
Speaker 3: Things are just.
29:05
Speaker 5: They have similarities.
29:06
Speaker 16: Yeah, similarities or whatever.
29:07
Speaker 5: They're both cancers. 50 bought his old house in Connecticut.
29:11
Speaker 3: All the stuff.
29:11
Speaker 5: All the stuff.
29:12
Speaker 4: Of course, Mike Tyson is a world champion boxer. 50
29:14
Speaker 4: was a Golden Glove boxer.
29:16
Speaker 10: What else do you need to know?
29:17
Speaker 16: When I don't read, you yell at me. When I
29:19
Speaker 16: read and find something out, you yell at me.
29:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, but don't tell us things we don't know, obviously.
29:23
Speaker 16: I don't know if everybody knew that. Because people were
29:25
Speaker 16: talking so much about his transformation for the movie.
29:27
Speaker 5: You know humans need oxygen to breathe?
29:29
Speaker 12: Shut up.
29:29
Speaker 3: Really? Shut up.
29:30
Speaker 16: I didn't know that.
29:31
Speaker 3: Shut up.
29:32
Speaker 16: Brad, you knew that? okay all right all right they
29:34
Speaker 16: also talk a little bit about as we close they
29:36
Speaker 16: talk a little bit about 50 Cent's power just in
29:38
Speaker 16: everything that he's doing, no pun intended, with television. And
29:41
Speaker 16: he gets into the Kourtney Kemp conversation again. And we've
29:44
Speaker 16: had this conversation about how he felt like she minimized
29:47
Speaker 16: or downplayed his role and how successful that power universe was.
29:51
Speaker 16: And she says, he talks about at one point, even
29:53
Speaker 16: budgets got weird where they were throwing all this money
29:56
Speaker 16: on the shows. And remember 50 Cent said, y'all, We
29:58
Speaker 16: were pausing on stars. You guys know at that point,
30:01
Speaker 16: stars are a 40 percent decline in their subscriptions, which
30:04
Speaker 16: is how he was able to leverage a lot of
30:05
Speaker 16: what we saw additional shows on stars. And, yeah, so
30:09
Speaker 16: people are talking about that a bit. And Courtney Kemp
30:10
Speaker 16: has responded, saying that like she's never downplayed him or
30:14
Speaker 16: anything of that nature. But she's completely bewildered by his
30:17
Speaker 16: need to mention her in interviews or podcasts. So, yeah,
30:20
Speaker 16: that conversation is happening as well. And I know everybody
30:23
Speaker 16: knew all that Mike Tyson stuff.
30:24
Speaker 11: All right, man.
30:25
Speaker 9: All right.
30:25
Speaker 3: Now, when we come back.

31:44
Speaker 20: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
31:47
Speaker 20: largest injury law firm. So we started this morning with
31:50
Speaker 20: new details about that deadly shooting in Oregon last week.
31:53
Speaker 20: So investigators now say the 16-year-old gunman was a former
31:57
Speaker 20: student at the elementary.
31:59
Speaker 21: School that he attacked.
32:01
Speaker 20: Griffith John, he had previously attended Silver Rail Elementary in Bend, Oregon.
32:06
Speaker 20: School officials are now revealing new details about his history
32:09
Speaker 20: at the school and the classroom where the shooting happened.
32:13
Speaker 3: Let's listen.
32:14
Speaker 6: I can answer that that classroom was a special needs classroom,
32:18
Speaker 6: and the suspect was a special needs student.
32:22
Speaker 8: In that school.
32:24
Speaker 20: Yeah, so very, very sad. Three boys, ages 5, 8,
32:27
Speaker 20: and 11. And a 25-year-old teacher were killed. Two others
32:30
Speaker 20: were injured. Police say the gunman shot through a locked
32:33
Speaker 20: door to get inside that school. Now, once inside, a
32:36
Speaker 20: teacher tried to wrestle the shotgun away from him. Police
32:39
Speaker 20: say she wasn't hurt, but she saved many lives. And meanwhile,
32:43
Speaker 20: a father whose two daughters were inside that school saw
32:46
Speaker 20: the gunman.
32:46
Speaker 21: Entering the building. He followed him in and shot and
32:50
Speaker 21: killed him.
32:51
Speaker 3: Thank God.
32:52
Speaker 5: It's too much going on in the world. I don't
32:54
Speaker 5: even remember this story originally. When did this happen?
32:55
Speaker 21: This happened on Friday.
32:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, last week we spoke.
32:58
Speaker 13: Oh.
32:58
Speaker 3: You weren't here Friday. Yeah, yeah.
32:59
Speaker 15: We spoke about it Friday. I wonder if he was
33:02
Speaker 15: a special ed student. I wonder if something happened in
33:04
Speaker 15: that class that triggered him. Like maybe he was harassed
33:07
Speaker 15: or he was sexually assaulted. I wonder what made him
33:09
Speaker 15: go back to that class because usually a special ed class,
33:11
Speaker 15: they take care.
33:12
Speaker 5: Of their kids. Where did he get a firearm from?
33:15
Speaker 21: So that's the next thing.
33:16
Speaker 20: His mother, apparently, this is new information as well, his
33:20
Speaker 20: mother bought him a firearm somewhere around his birthday.
33:22
Speaker 5: Why would you buy your special needs child a firearm?
33:26
Speaker 12: Yeah.
33:27
Speaker 5: Why would you?
33:28
Speaker 15: And if you did, why wouldn't it be locked up
33:30
Speaker 15: where y'all take it out together to go shooting, right?
33:32
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? But why would he have
33:34
Speaker 3: access to that?
33:34
Speaker 15: And another thing which is very, very, thank God, is
33:37
Speaker 15: usually if you have a license to carry, right, you're
33:41
Speaker 15: not allowed to carry around schools.
33:42
Speaker 7: Yeah.
33:43
Speaker 15: So you're not supposed to bring your firearm around the school.
33:45
Speaker 15: So the fact that that parent still had his firearm
33:47
Speaker 15: and was able to protect the rest of that school
33:50
Speaker 15: is amazing because you're usually not allowed to carry that
33:52
Speaker 15: firearm around any type of school.
33:54
Speaker 7: Yeah.
33:54
Speaker 21: You're talking about the father who saved.
33:56
Speaker 3: The father who saved it, yeah. Yeah.
33:58
Speaker 20: Police say the teenager still had 44 rounds of ammunition. Yeah,
34:01
Speaker 20: when he was stopped. So that father absolutely saved lives.
34:05
Speaker 20: Investigators are still trying to figure out why he targeted
34:08
Speaker 20: that former school.
34:09
Speaker 5: I wonder what his special need was.
34:11
Speaker 13: Yeah.
34:13
Speaker 4: Because sometimes you can just, you know, have a qualifying
34:17
Speaker 4: disability just because, you know, you have something that affects
34:20
Speaker 4: your education. You don't learn as fast as everybody else,
34:23
Speaker 4: you know? It doesn't necessarily mean something's wrong.
34:28
Speaker 21: Well, we'll continue to watch that.
34:30
Speaker 20: But moving on, this next story is exactly why you
34:33
Speaker 20: can't eat everybody's food.
34:34
Speaker 3: At the potluck.
34:35
Speaker 5: And your grandma and mom have been telling you that
34:37
Speaker 5: your whole life.
34:37
Speaker 3: Exactly.
34:38
Speaker 10: Damn potluck.
34:40
Speaker 21: You cannot do it.
34:41
Speaker 20: So a workplace potluck at Walmart at the warehouse in
34:44
Speaker 20: Tennessee sent 19 people to the hospital.
34:48
Speaker 21: Workers started throwing up, getting sick.
34:50
Speaker 20: Things got so bad that emergency crews had to bring
34:54
Speaker 20: in more ambulances. And here's the part that has everyone talking.
34:58
Speaker 20: So during one nine one one call, people pointed to
35:01
Speaker 20: homemade rice as the potluck situation. People pointed to the
35:05
Speaker 20: homemade rice that someone bought to the potluck as a
35:08
Speaker 20: possible cause.
35:09
Speaker 21: Let's listen to that call.
35:10
Speaker 4: Yes, sir.
35:11
Speaker 16: And what's going on there?
35:12
Speaker 14: We seem to have a bit of what would appear
35:17
Speaker 14: to be a food poisoning outbreak. And there is an
35:22
Speaker 14: associate that's currently in the bathroom complaining of fatigue and nausea.
35:27
Speaker 14: He's been throwing up for, I'd say, about 15 minutes.
35:30
Speaker 10: All right.
35:31
Speaker 3: And do you know what they would have eaten to
35:34
Speaker 3: cause the food poisoning?
35:37
Speaker 14: It's possibly some homemade rice that was brought into the facility.
35:41
Speaker 5: Homemade rice?
35:42
Speaker 3: How do you mess up the rice? You can't mess
35:44
Speaker 3: up the rice. That seems like that was intentional. Listen.
35:47
Speaker 12: Probably.
35:47
Speaker 4: That's why I don't be eating out of everybody's kitchen.
35:49
Speaker 4: First of all, people are nasty. I need my food
35:51
Speaker 4: cooked with love. And sometimes people be upset about what's
35:53
Speaker 4: going on in their life, and they put that in
35:55
Speaker 4: the food just because they want to see everybody else
35:57
Speaker 4: get sick.
35:57
Speaker 3: Yeah, but how do you mess up rice?
35:59
Speaker 5: Coughing it.
36:01
Speaker 3: Stay still. Like, rice though?
36:04
Speaker 16: Or maybe it's like something that they put in it
36:06
Speaker 16: to cook with it that didn't grip people's stomachs.
36:08
Speaker 7: I don't know.
36:09
Speaker 21: But did they cook the rice in?
36:09
Speaker 16: Because even that, you normally, the only thing I think
36:12
Speaker 16: of is like you use broth sometimes.
36:14
Speaker 3: Or beans, or somebody put some pork in it. I
36:17
Speaker 3: have no idea.
36:17
Speaker 5: Don't be eating out of everybody's kitchen, man. Okay?
36:20
Speaker 16: Rule number one.
36:21
Speaker 11: Potluck.
36:22
Speaker 4: What if I don't even like my employees? Imagine doing
36:24
Speaker 4: a potluck with most people that you don't even like
36:26
Speaker 4: and coming in and eating something that they bring. That
36:27
Speaker 4: you don't like them, they don't like you, but y'all
36:29
Speaker 4: eating each other's food?
36:30
Speaker 13: Yeah.
36:30
Speaker 3: We might got time for that.
36:31
Speaker 17: Yeah.
36:31
Speaker 3: Mm-mm-mm.
36:32
Speaker 21: Well, health officials, they are still investigating.
36:35
Speaker 20: Even though we heard that call, they still say there's
36:37
Speaker 20: no actual proof that it was the rice that made
36:39
Speaker 20: everyone sick. But, you know, people they said that 19
36:43
Speaker 20: people ate the rice and that's kind of where it's
36:46
Speaker 20: left off at.
36:47
Speaker 9: So.
36:48
Speaker 21: They definitely think it was something in the food.
36:50
Speaker 20: Now, Walmart says that it's cooperating with investigators and none
36:54
Speaker 20: of the food that was at the potluck was sold
36:56
Speaker 20: in Walmart stores. So they want people to know that
36:59
Speaker 20: their food is safe.
37:00
Speaker 5: I don't even like the name potluck. I've never appreciated
37:03
Speaker 5: potluck at all.
37:05
Speaker 16: I got like y'all as people and know where the
37:07
Speaker 16: food is coming from. But not from your house.
37:08
Speaker 11: What your kitchen looks like.
37:09
Speaker 16: When people bring stuff or if it's catered, that's the
37:12
Speaker 16: big difference.
37:13
Speaker 17: I know.
37:13
Speaker 5: Different catered food is different.
37:14
Speaker 3: I don't do pot luck.
37:15
Speaker 1: Nah.
37:16
Speaker 3: I don't do pot luck.
37:17
Speaker 4: Like you said, I need love in my pots, not luck.
37:22
Speaker 4: That's exactly what it is. I ain't got time for that.
37:25
Speaker 20: And really quickly to end things off, you guys remember
37:27
Speaker 20: the 10 inmates who escaped through a hole behind the
37:30
Speaker 20: toilet last year? And there was this manhunt for, I
37:34
Speaker 20: believe his name was, Rose was his last name. So
37:40
Speaker 20: a New Orleans jail worker, he's headed to prison this
37:42
Speaker 20: morning for his help in that jailbreak.
37:46
Speaker 16: He's a custodian.
37:47
Speaker 20: He turned off the water so that they could get through.
37:50
Speaker 20: prosecutors say shutting off that water allowed the inmates to
37:53
Speaker 20: remove the toilet, crawl through the hole, and climb over
37:55
Speaker 20: that fence. And so he pled guilty to not do
37:59
Speaker 20: his job properly. But his attorney says that he had
38:02
Speaker 20: no idea that these were what the inmates were going
38:04
Speaker 20: to do. But all inmates, you know, they found them,
38:07
Speaker 20: including Derrick Rose, that's his name, who was the last
38:09
Speaker 20: one captured after five months.
38:10
Speaker 21: Remember, he was hiding at a house in Atlanta.
38:12
Speaker 4: They was rooting for you, Derrick. I know people that
38:14
Speaker 4: was rooting for Derrick. They was hoping Derrick got away.
38:16
Speaker 4: They was like, damn, Derrick been on the lam for
38:18
Speaker 4: five months.
38:20
Speaker 5: He didn't make it.
38:20
Speaker 9: Nope.
38:20
Speaker 3: He didn't pick it up. He got an argument with his.
38:24
Speaker 10: Girl, right?
38:24
Speaker 3: He got an argument with his girl. His girl turned
38:25
Speaker 3: him in, right?
38:26
Speaker 10: Yes.
38:27
Speaker 4: My girl Angie was rooting for Derek like a mother eff.
38:30
Speaker 4: She would text me every other day like, Derek's still free.
38:35
Speaker 20: Well, Derek is now serving two life sentences plus 100 years, okay?
38:40
Speaker 10: Lord.
38:41
Speaker 3: And what about the guy at Kasodi? What is he facing?
38:42
Speaker 21: He got two and a half years.
38:44
Speaker 4: Two life sentences plus 100 years? Why do the judge
38:47
Speaker 4: even play with people like that?
38:48
Speaker 5: Just say forever. That's all you got to do. You're
38:51
Speaker 5: going to be in prison forever. Don't play with me.
38:52
Speaker 5: Two life sentences and 100 years? Who's going to do that?
38:54
Speaker 3: You're going to die, come back, do another, die again,
38:56
Speaker 3: come back, then do 100?
38:58
Speaker 13: No.
38:58
Speaker 12: Yeah.
38:59
Speaker 21: Well, that was his sentence.
39:00
Speaker 4: I do be thinking about stuff like that, though. What
39:02
Speaker 4: if they know that you reincarnated? So every lifetime you
39:07
Speaker 4: get locked up and don't even realize why.
39:08
Speaker 5: You're like, damn, I'm still here. That's crazy.
39:11
Speaker 16: You be thinking about crazy stuff.
39:14
Speaker 5: I think about my thinking.
39:15
Speaker 4: Hey, salute to my good sister, Kim Fields, too, man.

40:18
Speaker 14: Really?
40:19
Speaker 10: Why?
40:19
Speaker 16: Because of Charlamagne?
40:20
Speaker 11: Come on, you know?
40:21
Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, yeah.
40:22
Speaker 8: I knew it wasn't me.
40:23
Speaker 11: Why could it be?
40:23
Speaker 8: No, no, no.
40:24
Speaker 23: I feel like you're way more reserved now. These last
40:26
Speaker 23: couple of years, you like. You know what I'm saying?
40:29
Speaker 6: As outgoing as you are, as much as you don't
40:32
Speaker 6: bite your tongue, what are you talking about?
40:35
Speaker 10: That's what he said. What is he talking about?
40:38
Speaker 16: That's exactly what he's talking about.
40:40
Speaker 13: 100%.
40:40
Speaker 10: Because he's too much. It's a lie. It's a lie.
40:43
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can.
40:45
Speaker 10: It's all right.
40:46
Speaker 16: If there's anything you need to get off your chest
40:48
Speaker 16: at him, I.
40:49
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
40:50
Speaker 10: Nothing personal. Yeah, it wasn't nothing personal. We would love
40:53
Speaker 10: to see it.
40:53
Speaker 16: We've been here sparring all morning.
40:54
Speaker 10: Yeah.
40:55
Speaker 5: We've been having a good time in here, man. It's
40:57
Speaker 5: a good old black-ass time.
40:58
Speaker 8: Come on.
40:59
Speaker 5: How y'all feeling this morning?
41:00
Speaker 11: I'm feeling incredible, bro.
41:01
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, yeah.
41:02
Speaker 11: The project just came out for the first time.
41:04
Speaker 5: The Bridge?
41:04
Speaker 17: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:05
Speaker 11: I said for the first time.
41:07
Speaker 10: It's released.
41:08
Speaker 23: Why did y'all call the album The Bridge? Like, what
41:09
Speaker 23: are you trying to bridge? Yeah, here and home. Yeah,
41:14
Speaker 23: it's the Ninjas. Yeah, it's the duality that I grew
41:17
Speaker 23: up in for the... the whole, all of my life.
41:21
Speaker 23: And for so long, I felt like I had to, like,
41:24
Speaker 23: choose between the two. And I realized, like, oh, that's
41:26
Speaker 23: your superpower. You can speak to both forms of the
41:31
Speaker 23: duality genuinely, and this can receive it a specific way.
41:34
Speaker 4: I feel like for the last several years, they've been
41:36
Speaker 4: telling us that there has to be a connection between
41:38
Speaker 4: black Americans and the motherland. I mean, I try to
41:41
Speaker 4: go to the motherland at least once a year.
41:43
Speaker 3: Come on, where you go?
41:45
Speaker 5: Man, I done been to... Ghana, of course.
41:47
Speaker 4: I've been to Zanzibar, Tanzania, Cape Town, Johannesburg.
41:53
Speaker 11: I'm just waiting for you to say Nigeria.
41:55
Speaker 5: I want to. I've been wanting to go to Nigeria
41:57
Speaker 5: for so long. Sweet to my girl, Cupby, man. Cupby's
41:59
Speaker 5: been wanting me to come to Nigeria for so long.
42:01
Speaker 5: I just haven't gotten over there yet.
42:02
Speaker 9: Nah, it's cool. It's cool.
42:03
Speaker 23: Yeah, I was waiting for you. It's a little different
42:05
Speaker 23: than all the other places that you named. Absolutely. It's
42:09
Speaker 23: like this city times a thousand.
42:12
Speaker 24: Yeah, for real.
42:13
Speaker 5: So if you love it here.
42:14
Speaker 7: I don't know.
42:15
Speaker 8: Just time, effort and energy.
42:16
Speaker 12: I feel like we'll sit down.
42:18
Speaker 10: This is is way more similarities. We the same everywhere.
42:34
Speaker 23: We're going to be the funniest. We're going to be
42:35
Speaker 23: the most entertaining. We're going to have all the dance moves.
42:37
Speaker 23: We're going to do everything. We're going to provide the
42:39
Speaker 23: flavor for wherever we're at on the planet.
42:41
Speaker 3: Yeah.
42:42
Speaker 16: What makes this album different from all your albums?
42:45
Speaker 23: It's the first time I really got rooted in, I
42:48
Speaker 23: really tried to do something rooted in my foundational sounds,
42:52
Speaker 23: like all the stuff I grew up listening to, the Fela,
42:55
Speaker 23: the Chifocita, all of the high life and Afro beats
43:01
Speaker 23: that I grew up on and I fused it with.
43:04
Speaker 23: Everything that I learned on the southwest side of Houston, Texas.
43:08
Speaker 10: Yeah.
43:08
Speaker 3: And why now?
43:09
Speaker 18: Like for you to like really, really get vulnerable enough
43:13
Speaker 18: to show your, you know, I really are.
43:15
Speaker 23: I just feel like it was the natural evolution of
43:18
Speaker 23: everything that I was doing.
43:21
Speaker 10: Yeah.
43:22
Speaker 11: When I first started, I was real trash.
43:29
Speaker 16: It's crazy because just looking at your aesthetic and hearing
43:34
Speaker 16: you now, it felt like it was like born in you.
43:36
Speaker 16: You know what I'm saying? People have always been creative
43:39
Speaker 16: and always had it.
43:39
Speaker 17: No, no, no.
43:40
Speaker 11: And I left it up.
43:40
Speaker 23: So if you go back to like the first couple
43:42
Speaker 23: videos I put on YouTube, yeah, you're going to see
43:44
Speaker 23: a difference.
43:44
Speaker 3: That had to be like a decade ago then. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:47
Speaker 9: About that.
43:48
Speaker 23: But it's good because some people think that it's always
43:50
Speaker 23: been like this and I always... had this uh aesthetic
43:53
Speaker 23: and vision and stuff like that no no no when
43:55
Speaker 23: i first started i just wanted to say something when
43:56
Speaker 23: i said something but and i thought it was sweet
43:59
Speaker 23: at the time but yeah you go back and look at.
44:02
Speaker 25: It isn't it's good well what got you what got
44:04
Speaker 25: you to this point though you know coming from doo-doo
44:07
Speaker 25: where you at what got you to this point uh.
44:12
Speaker 23: Man i just i applied the same like principles that
44:16
Speaker 23: I had trying to make it to the league.
44:18
Speaker 10: Yeah.
44:19
Speaker 11: Consistency, discipline, perseverance. And then I'm from the streets.
44:22
Speaker 23: So when I say, let me not say the streets,
44:24
Speaker 23: cause I was outside and ready to get active, but
44:27
Speaker 23: had parents. So I'm just, I'm from the hood. So
44:32
Speaker 23: I got a deductive reasoning. I could get into a
44:35
Speaker 23: situation in an environment, look around and figure out what
44:38
Speaker 23: the hell is going on. And even though I have
44:40
Speaker 23: no foreknowledge of how to maneuver in this, uh, industry,
44:44
Speaker 23: I paid attention to the stuff that I thought was tight,
44:47
Speaker 23: and I paid attention to.
44:49
Speaker 11: What all was going on, and I figured out how
44:51
Speaker 11: to make it my own.
44:52
Speaker 9: Yeah, discernment.
44:53
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%.
44:55
Speaker 4: I want to ask y'all, as a married couple, is
44:57
Speaker 4: there something in your own relationship that y'all had to
45:00
Speaker 4: bridge before y'all could even make a project like this?
45:03
Speaker 11: Yeah, bodies.
45:04
Speaker 25: I think we've done enough of that.
45:09
Speaker 16: With five kids.
45:11
Speaker 9: I know, that's right.
45:12
Speaker 18: We were talking about that earlier.
45:17
Speaker 5: Come on.

46:10
Speaker 7: everything I knew was church. And when I went to Houston,
46:12
Speaker 7: I was like, I'm on sabbatical.

Speaker 3: I went outside.
46:36
Speaker 10: I went outside.
46:49
Speaker 16: I was just, I was like convicted.
46:51
Speaker 21: So I was like, let me go find a church home.
46:52
Speaker 7: And the first church I went to to go visit,
46:54
Speaker 7: I saw him in there volunteering for the young adult.
46:57
Speaker 16: You was like, I'm staying.
46:58
Speaker 3: Yeah.
46:59
Speaker 11: Because I didn't grow up, well, I grew up in
47:01
Speaker 11: a white church. So, you know, that's not real.
47:03
Speaker 10: Yeah, he grew up in a Catholic church.
47:04
Speaker 9: Yeah. You know, yeah.
47:05
Speaker 11: It'd be like a, it'd be like a funeral every
47:07
Speaker 11: time you go there.
47:07
Speaker 12: Yeah.
47:08
Speaker 11: I had the same type of upbringing. So I was
47:09
Speaker 11: outside already.
47:10
Speaker 10: Right.
47:11
Speaker 11: Young.
47:11
Speaker 13: Right.
47:12
Speaker 10: Getting to it.
47:12
Speaker 14: Acting.
47:13
Speaker 11: So by the time I had graduated and then my
47:16
Speaker 11: dream failed, I was like.
47:17
Speaker 1: You know what?
47:18
Speaker 23: God, let me see what you're talking about. My stuff
47:21
Speaker 23: just fell off. Uh, so yeah, she saw me, uh,
47:24
Speaker 23: getting active and.
47:25
Speaker 11: Then you can keep going.
47:26
Speaker 7: Yeah.
47:27
Speaker 16: And then, um, like he ended up inviting us.
47:30
Speaker 7: We saw him at like a, like a young adult, um,
47:33
Speaker 7: function at like nighttime. And then he invited us out
47:35
Speaker 7: to his nonprofit meeting like the next day or something
47:38
Speaker 7: like that. And we went to the nonprofit and then, uh,
47:41
Speaker 7: I eventually just started getting involved and, and helping and
47:45
Speaker 7: like we became friends really good friends and then you
47:47
Speaker 7: know our relationship evolved from.
47:49
Speaker 11: There yeah that's good that's way to shorten it up I.
47:53
Speaker 7: Had to mix it up a lot of intricate things
47:56
Speaker 7: in there but that's the core.
47:58
Speaker 18: Of it what is the process of creation like how
48:01
Speaker 18: y'all create this like what do y'all do when y'all
48:03
Speaker 18: go in the studio is it like does something come
48:05
Speaker 18: to you and then it telepathically gets to him or
48:07
Speaker 18: like how do y'all make this magic I'll let you talk.
48:11
Speaker 11: Go ahead well first we smash.
48:15
Speaker 17: That's right, that's right.
48:16
Speaker 11: That's not what happened at all.
48:18
Speaker 8: I take it back.
48:19
Speaker 12: I take it back.
48:21
Speaker 3: I try to let you get it off.
48:22
Speaker 9: Come on, go on.
48:24
Speaker 12: No, no, no.
48:24
Speaker 3: It's a creative process.
48:25
Speaker 23: I usually got a vision for my stuff and how
48:29
Speaker 23: I see it playing out. You know, I'll be honest
48:33
Speaker 23: with you. All this stuff that Phat is doing with me,
48:36
Speaker 23: this is all like, what do you call it?
48:38
Speaker 11: Like a luxury or extra.
48:41
Speaker 23: Phat really only is concerned with I would say three
48:44
Speaker 23: or four things in life. If I'm lying, then say something.
48:50
Speaker 11: She cared about me. She cared about God, her children.
48:57
Speaker 21: That was the opposite.
48:59
Speaker 7: You told me to say something.
49:01
Speaker 11: There it is. Her children, her immediate family, and then food.
49:07
Speaker 7: And food.
49:08
Speaker 16: Is that where you got fat from?
49:13
Speaker 10: Actually, no.
49:13
Speaker 16: That was like one of them pet names. You know
49:15
Speaker 16: how you call somebody big head?
49:16
Speaker 3: Yeah.
49:17
Speaker 7: He called me fat head when we first met and
49:19
Speaker 7: was friends.
49:20
Speaker 11: Like the little bowl cut.
49:22
Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
49:23
Speaker 10: I had a pixie. He called me bowl cut.
49:25
Speaker 11: I had a pixie cut.
49:27
Speaker 5: I had a pixie cut.
49:28
Speaker 16: And then he thought my head looked big. They just
49:30
Speaker 16: call me that.
49:30
Speaker 23: And they just get tired of saying two syllables.
49:32
Speaker 16: My name ain't Fatima. People be calling me, I'm Fatima.
49:37
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's not Fatima.
49:38
Speaker 23: They really be thinking that. Somebody came up to me
49:41
Speaker 23: yesterday and said, I love Fatima.
49:42
Speaker 11: I said, oh, that's good.
49:43
Speaker 10: It's not.
49:44
Speaker 16: It's Martika, right?
49:45
Speaker 17: It is.
49:46
Speaker 10: Come on, Jess.
49:47
Speaker 3: Come on, y'all.
49:48
Speaker 11: I told you I got my family.
49:50
Speaker 18: And also, congratulations on Queen. Baby, I bumped that.
49:54
Speaker 16: And then even the mix with Tiara.
49:56
Speaker 10: Did she go off?
49:58
Speaker 3: Yeah, she went off. And I love what you said.
50:01
Speaker 18: You was like, that's the only time you're going to
50:02
Speaker 18: see me with a wet-ass... Yeah.
50:05
Speaker 12: Yeah, she was.
50:07
Speaker 16: Cracking up when I sent her that.
50:08
Speaker 3: She was like, yeah, that's good.
50:09
Speaker 11: That was fire.
50:10
Speaker 16: The video was fire.
50:10
Speaker 21: Everything, the visual.
50:12
Speaker 16: I love it, how y'all sampled the coming to America.
50:14
Speaker 3: Thank you.
50:15
Speaker 18: And mind you, it's a few joints on the album,
50:17
Speaker 18: on this album, The Bridge, where I felt like it's very.
50:21
Speaker 16: Coming to America from Motherland.
50:22
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
50:23
Speaker 18: Where you're introducing all of that Nigerian. We really, really
50:27
Speaker 18: hearing that in the music and it's deeply rooted.
50:30
Speaker 3: Yes, indeed.
50:31
Speaker 11: I appreciate it.
50:32
Speaker 4: What's something fat about Toby that makes him a great
50:35
Speaker 4: creative partner but can make him difficult to be married to?
50:39
Speaker 11: Oh, that's good.
50:39
Speaker 10: To be married to.
50:40
Speaker 11: That's good.
50:41
Speaker 16: Oh, I don't want to say, I wouldn't say be.
50:43
Speaker 7: Married to, but like, it's hard sometimes to like, to
50:47
Speaker 7: like work with him in the studio.
50:49
Speaker 21: Cause he got that football background.
50:51
Speaker 7: Boy, that aggression be coming out sometimes.
50:55
Speaker 21: And I'd be like, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, we're married.
50:58
Speaker 14: Yeah.
50:58
Speaker 11: We're married.
50:59
Speaker 21: Talks off.
51:00
Speaker 9: Come on.
51:01
Speaker 3: Talk nice.
51:01
Speaker 11: Sweeten that up.
51:02
Speaker 7: Because, yeah, you're not going to get the results you want.
51:05
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
51:06
Speaker 7: Talk to me like that.
51:06
Speaker 10: That's interesting.
51:07
Speaker 16: He's got a lot better.
51:08
Speaker 4: That's interesting because, like, you're not doing that because you're
51:11
Speaker 4: trying to tear her down.
51:12
Speaker 11: That's just your way of motivation.
51:15
Speaker 21: Exactly right.
51:15
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah.
51:16
Speaker 3: But everybody probably need to be motivated differently.
51:18
Speaker 21: Exactly right.
51:20
Speaker 23: But I had to evolve into that. I used to
51:23
Speaker 23: talk to her like, because you know I was the
51:24
Speaker 23: captain of the football team.
51:26
Speaker 3: So you got to talk to the coach.
51:29
Speaker 6: Yeah.
51:30
Speaker 23: So I had that like, ha ha. And it got
51:33
Speaker 23: to a point, well Fat ain't one of them type
51:35
Speaker 23: of people. If you get the ha ha, she'll be like,
51:37
Speaker 23: whatever you want to try to do, you can just
51:40
Speaker 23: do that yourself.
51:42
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no.
51:43
Speaker 11: She won't scream back. She won't ride with you at all.
51:47
Speaker 11: She'll just let you have it all.
51:48
Speaker 23: Okay yep everything that you're trying to create on this
51:51
Speaker 23: plate that you.
51:51
Speaker 3: Can eat that.
51:53
Speaker 23: So i had to learn like all right cool if
51:55
Speaker 23: i'm trying to get to the bottom line or get
51:58
Speaker 23: the results okay i gotta switch my approach and i've
52:01
Speaker 23: never had you never have to do that in football
52:03
Speaker 23: it's like if you ain't receiving it the way uh
52:06
Speaker 23: uh the captain or coach is saying it's like oh
52:08
Speaker 23: you gotta get the hell about here it's like but
52:09
Speaker 23: yeah that can't happen in yeah marriage or relationships.
52:13
Speaker 11: So i had to like maybe, perhaps, possibly. Yeah.
52:19
Speaker 23: Had to give some of those and then had to learn, like,
52:21
Speaker 23: all right, cool. Just switch your approach and you can
52:23
Speaker 23: get the same type of results. You can get the
52:24
Speaker 23: highest level results with that.
52:25
Speaker 4: But does that challenge you creatively? Like, I mean, clearly
52:29
Speaker 4: she's an incredible wife, but is that something that.
52:31
Speaker 5: Challenges you creatively?
52:32
Speaker 7: 100%.
52:32
Speaker 10: But it stretched me.
52:34
Speaker 23: But it stretched me just like my directness and aggression
52:38
Speaker 23: stretched her. So it's like we got to find the
52:40
Speaker 23: balance when we trying to, like, do something.
52:44
Speaker 11: like that we feel like we call like do the work.
52:47
Speaker 9: Yeah.
52:48
Speaker 23: We're trying to do this stuff and get it done
52:50
Speaker 23: and have it affect people like it need to affect people.
52:52
Speaker 7: Yeah.
52:52
Speaker 11: And we both have to stretch in different ways and
52:54
Speaker 11: it'd be a really good process. No, it was a
52:57
Speaker 11: little tough in the beginning.
52:58
Speaker 7: Yeah, we found our way though. We found our way
53:00
Speaker 7: and it's been, it's been working really good so far.
53:02
Speaker 3: Yeah.
53:03
Speaker 7: Yeah.
53:03
Speaker 5: Should marriage always come before the mission?
53:05
Speaker 11: Always.
53:06
Speaker 10: Yeah.
53:07
Speaker 17: Yeah.
53:08
Speaker 16: It was that before we was, yeah.
53:09
Speaker 11: Don't let your mission affect your cheeks.
53:12
Speaker 10: Yeah.
53:13
Speaker 7: Yeah.
53:15
Speaker 3: Don't ever in life.
53:21
Speaker 11: All this to leave you alone.
53:22
Speaker 10: Wait on the reason to leave you alone. Don't ever
53:26
Speaker 10: in your life for the cause.
53:28
Speaker 7: Wait on the reason to say something, tear you down,
53:30
Speaker 7: all that stuff.
53:31
Speaker 4: That's why I respect. Listen, no, I'm honest, bro. I
53:35
Speaker 4: respect all of our great leaders of the past and
53:38
Speaker 4: how they went out for the cause and for the mission.
53:40
Speaker 4: I'm like, listen to me. I've already decided in my
53:44
Speaker 4: life what I live for and die for.
53:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
53:47
Speaker 10: I'm with, I'm with my family.
53:51
Speaker 11: I'm with my family.
53:52
Speaker 23: And if it come down to it, and if they like, Hey, Hey.
53:54
Speaker 11: Hey, we kill everybody while you're doing too much. Oh,
53:58
Speaker 11: I'm like, Oh yeah.
53:59
Speaker 23: If you're going, you're going to have to kill me
54:01
Speaker 23: around them then.
54:01
Speaker 11: Cause I'm not doing too much for you. I'll do
54:03
Speaker 11: too much for these. That's it. Cause I know.
54:07
Speaker 17: Yeah.
54:07
Speaker 23: As, as much as, as much as I do, as
54:10
Speaker 23: much as I have dedicated my cause to, to niggas,

54:41
Speaker 5: You know what Minister Farrakhan says? I don't know what
54:43
Speaker 5: Minister Louis Farrakhan says. You have to... Love black people
54:48
Speaker 5: more than they hate themselves.
54:49
Speaker 10: Yeah.
54:49
Speaker 11: Ooh, I ain't never heard that, but I agree.
54:53
Speaker 23: Dedicate my art, my everything I create is for the

55:11
Speaker 11: You better find another.
55:14
Speaker 10: Hey, man, what you doing? With the chains and the
55:19
Speaker 10: go ahead, get that nigga.
55:20
Speaker 16: Yeah.
55:22
Speaker 4: When you did the Transformers joint, have you ever turned
55:25
Speaker 4: down any opportunities that could have made you bigger commercially,
55:27
Speaker 4: but it just compromised what y'all built?
55:29
Speaker 23: I don't know if it would have made me bigger commercially,
55:31
Speaker 23: but they offered me a role to do something in Blade,
55:36
Speaker 23: like play a lead vampire.
55:37
Speaker 11: Or something like that.
55:38
Speaker 5: But I was like, I look like sucking.
55:39
Speaker 10: A nigga's neck. Hey, told me.
55:43
Speaker 5: It's a movie, man.
55:44
Speaker 10: It's a fictional sucking a nigga's neck.
55:47
Speaker 5: It's a fictional movie, man.
55:50
Speaker 10: Come on, Jess! And you just assumed you would have
55:53
Speaker 10: to be sucking somebody's neck. You know what I mean?
55:57
Speaker 7: And now you see why he was hesitant.
56:00
Speaker 9: Yeah.
56:00
Speaker 10: Oh, my God. That was a Marvel movie?
56:03
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
56:06
Speaker 9: Blade Marvel, yeah.
56:07
Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
56:09
Speaker 10: You know Blade Marvel.
56:10
Speaker 5: That's kind of crazy. You might have to take that one.
56:12
Speaker 7: No, no, no.
56:12
Speaker 11: It's a couple of niggas in Marvel we don't remember
56:14
Speaker 11: like that.
56:15
Speaker 10: That's right. That's right. You think it's tomorrow because you
56:19
Speaker 10: with the people. Like, y'all, you're just going to blow up.
56:22
Speaker 10: I'm not going to suck on that. Remember that?
56:25
Speaker 9: Come on.
56:26
Speaker 10: I'm not going to suck on that. Do y'all identity.
56:33
Speaker 18: Ever become a prison at some point?
56:37
Speaker 11: Like your audience only expects a.
56:39
Speaker 3: Version of you?
56:47
Speaker 7: No, what version would that be? Yeah, because we are
56:49
Speaker 7: who we are. I don't think we have that or
56:53
Speaker 7: run into that. Because the way we are at home
56:56
Speaker 7: with our kids is the same way we at home,
56:59
Speaker 7: like outside.
57:00
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying?
57:01
Speaker 21: So it's not like we.
57:01
Speaker 7: Got to start telling jokes or something like that when
57:06
Speaker 7: we get outside like some comedians do.
57:08
Speaker 23: But that's who y'all are though. Clearly y'all are multi...
57:10
Speaker 23: Most black people are multi-dimensional, multi-faceted.
57:13
Speaker 4: But sometimes, you know, especially in this game, you present
57:16
Speaker 4: something to an audience and they only want a certain
57:18
Speaker 4: version of you. And then when they see you doing
57:19
Speaker 4: something different, they like, I know you smoke weed.
57:22
Speaker 5: I didn't, you know what I mean?
57:23
Speaker 1: No, no, no.
57:23
Speaker 11: So it's nothing like that.
57:24
Speaker 23: I think, uh, one of the things is they was like, Oh,
57:28
Speaker 23: what song, what song was it that I did?

59:21
Speaker 23: They be like yeah you don't got this uh your
59:23
Speaker 23: kids in there no no no i don't trust like

Speaker 23: to teach the children and stuff like that so why
59:36
Speaker 23: see that's one thing I do you homeschool all of
59:38
Speaker 23: them all of them but see why they spend money
59:40
Speaker 23: on cars and clothes and all that type of stuff
59:42
Speaker 23: yeah I spend money on yeah curriculum homeschool yeah I
59:45
Speaker 23: want this stuff to be the best because I really
59:47
Speaker 23: want to invest in what it is that we doing
59:50
Speaker 23: my oldest did.
59:50
Speaker 4: A year of homeschool she homeschooled her junior year.
59:54
Speaker 5: Of high school yeah of high school yeah How was that?
59:58
Speaker 5: I mean, the funny part is that's something that she wanted.
1:00:00
Speaker 7: Wow.
1:00:00
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah.
1:00:01
Speaker 5: So she homeschooled her junior year.
1:00:03
Speaker 11: So she was like, I'm sick of these people.
1:00:04
Speaker 8: I guess.
1:00:05
Speaker 17: I love it.
1:00:06
Speaker 5: I love it.
1:00:07
Speaker 11: It was.
1:00:08
Speaker 4: And then she went back her senior year, and now
1:00:09
Speaker 4: she's in college.
1:00:11
Speaker 8: That's great.
1:00:11
Speaker 3: See, my son was the other way around, right? So
1:00:13
Speaker 3: he did.
1:00:14
Speaker 18: He said, he did a year. He did eighth grade homeschool.
1:00:18
Speaker 18: He was like, I want to be.
1:00:20
Speaker 3: Home, do homeschool.
1:00:21
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:00:21
Speaker 3: And then he was like, I'm sick of y'all. I
1:00:26
Speaker 3: want to go back.
1:00:26
Speaker 10: I want to go see the people.
1:00:28
Speaker 3: I want to go see the girls because now we're
1:00:29
Speaker 3: in high school now.
1:00:30
Speaker 7: Oh, wow.
1:00:31
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:32
Speaker 8: High school.
1:00:33
Speaker 12: Yes.
1:00:33
Speaker 11: How old is y'all oldest?
1:00:34
Speaker 9: Seven.
1:00:35
Speaker 20: Seven.
1:00:35
Speaker 11: We got seven, six, five, three, two.
1:00:38
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:00:39
Speaker 18: So it should be okay. So it should be easier
1:00:41
Speaker 18: right now because they're all littles.
1:00:42
Speaker 3: Like they're all little.
1:00:43
Speaker 18: So homeschooling them shouldn't be as complicated as it would
1:00:47
Speaker 18: if y'all had.
1:00:48
Speaker 9: Teenagers.
1:00:49
Speaker 11: I can't even imagine that right now.
1:00:52
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:00:53
Speaker 9: I'd be, I'd be happy.
1:00:54
Speaker 23: I was telling somebody this the other day, I'd be
1:00:56
Speaker 23: happy and hurt almost every single day because I fully understand, like,
1:01:00
Speaker 23: it's not going to last.
1:01:02
Speaker 16: What's one thing, shifting gears, what's one thing y'all wish
1:01:04
Speaker 16: creatives understood about allowing ourselves to be spiritually led?
1:01:08
Speaker 23: It's the purest version of you because you're a spiritual being.
1:01:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:01:13
Speaker 23: You're a spiritual being having a human experience. So if
1:01:15
Speaker 23: you could fully tap into that, There's no limit to
1:01:18
Speaker 23: what you can create and how you can impact the
1:01:20
Speaker 23: world and influence.
1:01:21
Speaker 11: And I'm just making this up off the top of
1:01:22
Speaker 11: my head. I didn't even think about this question.
1:01:24
Speaker 3: That's crazy.
1:01:25
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:01:26
Speaker 11: I never thought about that.
1:01:27
Speaker 16: No, I wrote it down a long time ago.
1:01:29
Speaker 8: Yeah.
1:01:30
Speaker 3: Y'all said something.
1:01:33
Speaker 16: I didn't want to forget it. Y'all said something. And
1:01:38
Speaker 16: I was like, man, everything about them just feels so
1:01:40
Speaker 16: like y'all have like locked in with God and your
1:01:42
Speaker 16: faith so much. Y'all are just kind of walking together.
1:01:45
Speaker 16: through this and just putting out there.
1:01:46
Speaker 3: Yeah art how do you feel about that.
1:01:49
Speaker 7: I think that i think that if people were to
1:01:52
Speaker 7: be more spiritually led i think they would be less
1:01:56
Speaker 7: lost less lost and less hurt yeah i think i
1:02:03
Speaker 7: think that is actually very important um i think that
1:02:06
Speaker 7: a lot of people get intimidated when they're speaking on
1:02:10
Speaker 7: those types of things in public places, just because they
1:02:13
Speaker 7: don't know how they'll be perceived and things like that.
1:02:16
Speaker 7: But it's so many people out there speaking like their
1:02:19
Speaker 7: minds and their truths and and stuff that could be
1:02:23
Speaker 7: crazy as hell and they don't feel no type of
1:02:25
Speaker 7: way about.
1:02:25
Speaker 8: It you know what I mean yeah.
1:02:27
Speaker 7: No seriously and so I'm like if that's who you
1:02:30
Speaker 7: are and that's what you really and truly believe in
1:02:33
Speaker 7: be confident enough to say it like I believe in
1:02:36
Speaker 7: God Christ like that's that's me that's what I that's
1:02:40
Speaker 7: what I run with and like I believe like you
1:02:43
Speaker 7: know women are multifaceted and that we can be anything
1:02:48
Speaker 7: that we try to be. Like, we can do the careers.
1:02:51
Speaker 7: We can raise a family. And we don't have to
1:02:53
Speaker 7: be put inside of, like, one container and.
1:02:56
Speaker 16: Be held back.
1:02:57
Speaker 7: We can be our true selves because we have so
1:03:00
Speaker 7: many things attributes to us.
1:03:02
Speaker 21: And that's what I believe.
1:03:03
Speaker 7: And I can speak confidently about that because that's what
1:03:05
Speaker 7: I believe. So if that's what you believe, then speak
1:03:07
Speaker 7: to it. They out here speaking crazy.
1:03:09
Speaker 10: Y'all see it on TV all day long.
1:03:12
Speaker 3: And they don't.
1:03:13
Speaker 16: Feel no type of way about it. So why do you?
1:03:15
Speaker 5: Give God the glory.
1:03:16
Speaker 10: Allahu Akbar!
1:03:22
Speaker 7: Make sure y'all go pick up the bridge.
1:03:30
Speaker 3: It's probably as fat as the breakfast club.
1:03:32
Speaker 15: Let's get right to the latest with Lauren. She gets
1:03:37
Speaker 15: them from somebody that knows somebody.
1:03:39
Speaker 16: I'm the only girl that knows a little bit about
1:03:42
Speaker 16: everything and everything.
1:03:43
Speaker 5: She be having the latest on you.
1:03:47
Speaker 9: The latest with Lauren LaRosa.
1:03:48
Speaker 24: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
1:03:51
Speaker 24: have a little bit of everything.
1:03:52
Speaker 3: Well, it's the latest. Brought to you by Top Dog Law.
1:03:55
Speaker 9: On The Breakfast Club.
1:03:58
Speaker 16: All right, y'all. So Stephen A. Smith, there was some
1:04:00
Speaker 16: conversation happening over the weekend. Did you guys see that
1:04:02
Speaker 16: he met with President Trump?
1:04:05
Speaker 9: I did. Yes.
1:04:05
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:04:06
Speaker 16: So Stephen A. Smith went to the White House. It
1:04:07
Speaker 16: actually happened earlier in the week, but we learned about
1:04:11
Speaker 16: it over the weekend. He was there with Bill Maher,
1:04:13
Speaker 16: Bill Maher and Kid Rock. Now, let's take a listen
1:04:17
Speaker 16: to Trump speaking to Forbes. Speaking of Forbes breaking news
1:04:24
Speaker 16: on the meeting with Stephen A.
1:04:26
Speaker 2: The dinner last night with Kid Rock and Stephen A
1:04:30
Speaker 2: and Bill Maher was great.
1:04:31
Speaker 11: I think they had a good time.
1:04:33
Speaker 5: What did you talk about?
1:04:34
Speaker 3: We talked about everything. It lasted a long time.
1:04:36
Speaker 9: You know, even though they have.
1:04:38
Speaker 3: To sort of put on a certain little facade for
1:04:41
Speaker 3: their people, they like Trump and I actually like them.
1:04:44
Speaker 23: We even took a little tour of the ballroom.
1:04:47
Speaker 10: We went inside the ballroom with memes.
1:04:50
Speaker 9: That are being put up over our head.
1:04:53
Speaker 7: But it was a great dinner.
1:04:54
Speaker 10: It was a very informative dinner.
1:04:56
Speaker 9: Smart people.
1:04:57
Speaker 10: Stephen A.
1:04:58
Speaker 11: Is great.
1:04:58
Speaker 3: Bill Maher, I tell you what, he.
1:05:00
Speaker 10: Likes me a lot more than people understand.
1:05:03
Speaker 3: And I actually like him.
1:05:05
Speaker 4: If you meet with Trump and you're a media personality,
1:05:07
Speaker 4: it should be recorded and documented. And the reason I
1:05:10
Speaker 4: say that is because Trump will go out there and spin.
1:05:13
Speaker 5: The narrative any way he wants to, like he did
1:05:15
Speaker 5: just now.
1:05:15
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:05:15
Speaker 5: Because we don't know what was discussed in that meeting.
1:05:17
Speaker 3: Well, OK.
1:05:18
Speaker 16: So once this happened, people, of course, started having a
1:05:21
Speaker 16: conversation about whether Stephen A should have been there and
1:05:23
Speaker 16: or not. Stephen A, I saw an interview he did
1:05:26
Speaker 16: with Laura Coates over at CNN where he says that
1:05:28
Speaker 16: he saw that. Yeah, it was four hours long. The
1:05:30
Speaker 16: meeting was he says that he was surprised that Trump
1:05:31
Speaker 16: even gave them that amount of time. But Trump didn't.
1:05:34
Speaker 16: He wasn't ducking any smoke. And Stephen A on his
1:05:36
Speaker 16: own platform, a straight shooter with Stephen A, explained the
1:05:39
Speaker 16: media and broke down some of the things that they
1:05:40
Speaker 16: talked about. Let's take a listen to Stephen A explaining
1:05:42
Speaker 16: the meeting.
1:05:43
Speaker 2: There are matters and issues that need to be resolved
1:05:46
Speaker 2: and take steps inches forward to resolve them by not
1:05:50
Speaker 2: talking to one another, by not trying to have a conversation.
1:05:53
Speaker 19: It's foolish.
1:05:54
Speaker 3: It's childish, and I'm not going to do that.
1:05:56
Speaker 19: We were there for over four hours.
1:05:59
Speaker 2: In the White House, and Donald Trump did not run
1:06:02
Speaker 2: from any questions. He was very defiant with any criticism
1:06:05
Speaker 2: that came in his direction. It was a pleasant meeting.
1:06:07
Speaker 2: It was respectful. Two Republicans thinking they're talking to two liberals.
1:06:11
Speaker 2: I don't know why Kid Rock said I'm a liberal.
1:06:12
Speaker 2: I don't consider myself a liberal. I consider myself a conservative.
1:06:15
Speaker 2: I'm a registered independent. I say that all the time
1:06:17
Speaker 2: because I don't trust either side. Bill Maher did a
1:06:19
Speaker 2: lot of the talking because it was his meeting. I
1:06:22
Speaker 2: was Bill Maher's guest. If he didn't ask me to come,
1:06:25
Speaker 2: I wouldn't have been there because I was never extended
1:06:28
Speaker 2: a direct invitation from Donald Trump. Talked about Trump's relatively
1:06:32
Speaker 2: dismissive attitude about the economic times that we're living in
1:06:35
Speaker 2: because In Trump's world, it's just a bump in the
1:06:38
Speaker 2: road right now. Everything's going to be fine. Talk about
1:06:41
Speaker 2: the economy. Talk about inflation. He says, hey, that's going
1:06:43
Speaker 2: to get resolved. With $ 40 trillion in debt, don't worry.
1:06:46
Speaker 19: Don't worry. There's trillions coming into us, into our country.
1:06:49
Speaker 19: Just mark my words. Believe me, it's going to be great.
1:06:51
Speaker 19: It's going to be wonderful.
1:06:52
Speaker 3: Mark my words.
1:06:54
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:06:54
Speaker 16: Now, he also says that they got into an HBCU
1:06:57
Speaker 16: conversation and some of the funding. Talked about some of
1:06:58
Speaker 16: the funding that's being cut there. Let's take a listen
1:07:00
Speaker 16: to that.
1:07:01
Speaker 2: Inevitably, I also got to the issue of HBCUs, which
1:07:04
Speaker 2: is the number one reason that I went there. When
1:07:07
Speaker 2: you see DEI, when you see unemployment, and when you
1:07:11
Speaker 2: see Trump and his administration's fixation on making sure that
1:07:15
Speaker 2: preferential treatments are not accorded to any race, I challenged
1:07:18
Speaker 2: him on that. The Futures Act, making $ 255 million in
1:07:22
Speaker 2: annual funding permanent.
1:07:24
Speaker 19: For HBCUs instead of HBCUs.
1:07:26
Speaker 2: Having to come to the feds He made it automatic
1:07:28
Speaker 2: at $ 255 million. But last time I checked, Mr. President,
1:07:32
Speaker 2: you were a conservative, at least in office. There's a
1:07:34
Speaker 2: Republican legislature in the House and the Senate. As a
1:07:38
Speaker 2: guy that believes in free market capitalism, that funding from
1:07:41
Speaker 2: the feds is one thing. But there's additional funding that
1:07:44
Speaker 2: comes from the private sector that's been compromised to some degree.
1:07:48
Speaker 2: Because of your administration's fixation on making sure that there
1:07:51
Speaker 2: are no racial preferences. So as a result, corporations in
1:07:55
Speaker 2: the private sector, believing that the government may come after
1:07:58
Speaker 2: them if they were to be as charitable as they.
1:08:01
Speaker 19: Once were, are hesitant to do so now.
1:08:03
Speaker 9: Mr.
1:08:03
Speaker 2: President, what are you going to do about that? To
1:08:05
Speaker 2: his credit, he says, I got to look into that.
1:08:07
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
1:08:09
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:08:10
Speaker 16: Now, I don't know.
1:08:11
Speaker 15: So I wonder if any of this matters when talking
1:08:13
Speaker 15: to the president, if the president just uses it and say,
1:08:16
Speaker 15: Stephen A. Smith is with me now. This person is
1:08:17
Speaker 15: with me now. I wonder if he even listened or
1:08:20
Speaker 15: even heard what he was saying. I agree with you, Envy.
1:08:22
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, if you're a media personality,
1:08:25
Speaker 4: when you meet with Donald Trump, it should be recorded
1:08:27
Speaker 4: and documented. I mean, media personalities talk to Trump all
1:08:30
Speaker 4: the time, right? It's just on the record. So when
1:08:32
Speaker 4: it's not recorded, it leads too much to speculation. It
1:08:34
Speaker 4: makes people ask, what was the intention? You know, what
1:08:37
Speaker 4: do you hope to gain? You're not changing Trump's mind
1:08:39
Speaker 4: on anything. So it should be recorded because then at
1:08:41
Speaker 4: least you get something out of it.
1:08:43
Speaker 16: I also think, too, and I know Stephen A. said
1:08:45
Speaker 16: he was there with Bill Maher.
1:08:46
Speaker 10: Bill Maher.
1:08:47
Speaker 16: So I don't know if he could have brought someone.
1:08:48
Speaker 16: But I think when you have those meetings, too, you
1:08:50
Speaker 16: should bring in like policymakers and like people that like
1:08:53
Speaker 16: kind of really like sit within like certain seats where
1:08:56
Speaker 16: they can. Because I mean, Stephen A., obviously, he sounds
1:08:58
Speaker 16: like he has the information and nobody wants. to get
1:09:00
Speaker 16: there to get out. But I don't know. I just
1:09:02
Speaker 16: think that there has to be, like, more.
1:09:05
Speaker 10: It's a show.
1:09:06
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:09:07
Speaker 16: Like once again, it's a show.
1:09:12
Speaker 4: So if it's a show recorded and documented, so at
1:09:15
Speaker 4: least the rest of us can watch the show and
1:09:17
Speaker 4: you can get some engagement.
1:09:18
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:09:18
Speaker 23: I don't think it was made for policy. It was
1:09:20
Speaker 23: a policy. It's Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith and Kid
1:09:24
Speaker 23: Rock and Donald Trump. It's a show. Can we at
1:09:26
Speaker 23: least watch the show? I want to see the show.
1:09:30
Speaker 10: Show me the show.
1:09:32
Speaker 16: But, you know, there were some people who were saying
1:09:34
Speaker 16: to Stephen A., like, after Trump calls you, you know,
1:09:37
Speaker 16: all the things that he said about Stephen A. at
1:09:38
Speaker 16: one point in time, why even do him the favor
1:09:43
Speaker 16: of giving him that show, right?
1:09:44
Speaker 5: I can see why people say that.
1:09:46
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:09:46
Speaker 16: I mean, if Trump were to call you to have
1:09:49
Speaker 16: a conversation with you, would you do it?
1:09:51
Speaker 5: If it's taped, yeah, if you can see it.
1:09:54
Speaker 16: But you wouldn't care about the fact that he calls you, like,
1:09:55
Speaker 16: sleazy and all the things. What do you call you?
1:09:57
Speaker 5: No, because I'm going to say the same things I'd
1:09:58
Speaker 5: be saying to him to him.
1:10:00
Speaker 12: Touche.
1:10:00
Speaker 3: But you wouldn't go by yourself though, right?
1:10:02
Speaker 16: You would have a team of advocates. That's what I'm saying.
1:10:07
Speaker 16: That's the only thing I thought about.
1:10:08
Speaker 5: I'm bringing Angela Rye. I'm bringing D'Amica Mallory. I'm bringing
1:10:12
Speaker 5: a lot of people.
1:10:14
Speaker 3: People that do policies for a living.
1:10:17
Speaker 5: I'm just there for the show. I let them do
1:10:20
Speaker 5: all the heavy lifting.
1:10:21
Speaker 3: You're here for the nasty words.
1:10:22
Speaker 5: I'm just here for the show. I'm here to entertain.
1:10:24
Speaker 5: But that's my point.
1:10:25
Speaker 4: Seriously, if you are going to meet with Donald Trump
1:10:28
Speaker 4: in this way and you know that he's going to
1:10:29
Speaker 4: You know, immediately when the meeting is over, tell everybody
1:10:32
Speaker 4: that y'all met and y'all like him, blah, blah, blah.
1:10:34
Speaker 4: At least let everybody see. Let me see you challenging.
1:10:37
Speaker 3: Correct.
1:10:37
Speaker 4: Let me see these things that you brought to the table.
1:10:40
Speaker 4: I don't want to just hear it from you after
1:10:41
Speaker 4: the fact. I want to see it. You know, I'm
1:10:43
Speaker 4: not I'm not mad at them having to meet, you know.
1:10:45
Speaker 4: I just want to see it.
1:10:46
Speaker 3: All right. Well, that's the latest is brought to you by.
1:10:48
Speaker 16: Yes, it's brought to you by Top Dog Law. You

Speaker 16: the money you deserve. Go to TopDogLaw.com.
1:11:00
Speaker 9: All right.
1:11:00
Speaker 5: Imagine meeting with Trump and bringing Hassan Pica with you.
1:11:03
Speaker 20: Lord.
1:11:05
Speaker 9: That'd be fun.
1:11:05
Speaker 3: They're going to let you in. They'll stop you right
1:11:08
Speaker 3: at the door. Stop right at the door.
1:11:09
Speaker 5: Oh, you bring people like Dr. Abdul Saeed.
1:11:11
Speaker 4: Like that's, that's, you know, that's what I would do
1:11:13
Speaker 4: in a situation like that. But I also, but it
1:11:15
Speaker 4: would have to be screened live. Like you would have
1:11:18
Speaker 4: to be able to see it. I don't want no
1:11:19
Speaker 4: closed door meetings.
1:11:20
Speaker 8: For what?
1:11:21
Speaker 14: Gotcha.
1:11:21
Speaker 22: Why?
1:11:22
Speaker 4: All right.
1:11:22
Speaker 3: Well, who are you getting your donkey to, man?
1:11:24
Speaker 4: Man, four after the hour, we need a man named
1:11:26
Speaker 4: Sterling Williams to come to the front of the congregation.
1:11:29
Speaker 4: He's the guy who helped all the inmates escape from
1:11:31
Speaker 4: New Orleans. It's a teachable lesson. It's a teachable moment.
1:11:35
Speaker 8: All right.
1:11:35
Speaker 3: We'll get to that next.
1:11:36
Speaker 19: Don't move.
1:11:36
Speaker 3: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning.
1:11:37
Speaker 18: You are amazing.
1:11:49
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I want to drink my tea.
1:11:50
Speaker 9: You see what this thing say?
1:11:51
Speaker 3: That's been on there.
1:11:53
Speaker 14: I read them every day.
1:11:53
Speaker 10: Big T energy. What's wrong?
1:12:16
Speaker 16: Big tea bag energy over there.
1:12:17
Speaker 5: You've been putting.
1:12:19
Speaker 16: Your lips on some things.
1:12:20
Speaker 10: What the hell?
1:12:20
Speaker 16: All right, go ahead, sir.
1:12:21
Speaker 20: Finish.
1:12:22
Speaker 5: Donkey of the Day for Monday, October 19th. Goes to
1:12:25
Speaker 5: 34-year-old Sterling Williams.
1:12:26
Speaker 4: He is a former maintenance worker at the Orleans Paris
1:12:29
Speaker 4: Jail in New Orleans.
1:12:31
Speaker 5: Sterling, Sterling, Sterling.
1:12:32
Speaker 4: He was sentenced to two and a half years in
1:12:35
Speaker 4: prison because of his role in the infamous New Orleans.
1:12:38
Speaker 3: Jailbreak that happened back in, was that May?
1:12:41
Speaker 5: Or was that last year? That was May of last year, right?
1:12:43
Speaker 5: Last year.
1:12:44
Speaker 4: Remember when 10 inmates escaped to a hole behind a toilet, right?
1:12:48
Speaker 4: Let's go to NBC6 for the report, please.
1:12:50
Speaker 26: Sterling Williams has pleaded guilty for his role in last
1:12:53
Speaker 26: year's jailbreak. Williams admitted to turning off the water to
1:12:56
Speaker 26: a cell, allowing inmates to remove a toilet and escape
1:12:59
Speaker 26: through a wall. Williams pleaded guilty to malfeasance in office.
1:13:03
Speaker 26: Ten counts of simple aggravated escape were dismissed. He was
1:13:06
Speaker 26: sentenced to five years in prison, followed by three years
1:13:09
Speaker 26: of probation. Williams told investigators that escaped inmate Antoine Massey
1:13:14
Speaker 26: threatened to stab him if he did not shut off
1:13:17
Speaker 26: the water. Court documents say Williams failed to report the
1:13:20
Speaker 26: escape plan and did not initially come forward when questioned.
1:13:23
Speaker 4: First of all, I didn't know they escaped through a
1:13:26
Speaker 4: hole behind a toilet. OK, I did not know that
1:13:29
Speaker 4: part of the story. So let me ask a question.
1:13:31
Speaker 4: that I'm sure has been asked to the freak off
1:13:33
Speaker 4: or two.
1:13:33
Speaker 5: How big was this hole?
1:13:36
Speaker 10: Okay?
1:13:37
Speaker 4: And these inmates had the audacity to leave a message
1:13:39
Speaker 4: on the wall that said, too easy, LOL. You only
1:13:43
Speaker 4: leave a note like that if you know you never
1:13:45
Speaker 4: getting caught after you escape.
1:13:46
Speaker 6: Okay?
1:13:46
Speaker 5: Y'all had zero plans once you got out. Okay?
1:13:49
Speaker 4: So the too easy, LOL, actually should go to y'all
1:13:53
Speaker 4: from law enforcement because they knew they would eventually catch
1:13:56
Speaker 4: y'all again.
1:13:56
Speaker 5: But back to the matter at hand. Sterling. I have
1:14:00
Speaker 5: one simple question. What was in it for you?
1:14:02
Speaker 4: Okay, that's the question I want everyone with a job
1:14:05
Speaker 4: to ask when they are giving someone a hookup. Okay,
1:14:08
Speaker 4: what is in it for you? If you work at
1:14:10
Speaker 4: a gym, all right, don't be letting people come in
1:14:12
Speaker 4: there and work out for free.
1:14:14
Speaker 3: That's not your gym.
1:14:14
Speaker 5: You don't own it. You work there. If you get caught,
1:14:17
Speaker 5: you might get fired. If you work at a clothing store, don't.
1:14:19
Speaker 4: Be letting your friends bring up a bunch of clothes
1:14:21
Speaker 4: to the register and you only scan a couple items
1:14:24
Speaker 4: and then let them get everything else for free.
1:14:28
Speaker 5: I did that one before. I'm not going to lie.
1:14:30
Speaker 4: But the point is, OK, don't risk what you have
1:14:34
Speaker 4: just because you think you're supposed to. OK, that's what
1:14:37
Speaker 4: happens when people get jobs. All of a sudden you
1:14:39
Speaker 4: got people like, yeah, man, my man works as such
1:14:42
Speaker 4: and such.
1:14:42
Speaker 5: What you need.
1:14:43
Speaker 3: Why are you asking everybody what they need?
1:14:45
Speaker 5: I work here.
1:14:46
Speaker 1: You don't.
1:14:47
Speaker 4: And I asked the question of Sterling earlier. What is
1:14:50
Speaker 4: in it for you? The answer is nothing. OK, it's
1:14:52
Speaker 4: not even exchange. If these allegations are true. and you
1:14:56
Speaker 4: assisted these 10 inmates in breaking out, then you just
1:14:59
Speaker 4: blew a great opportunity for no reason.
1:15:01
Speaker 5: I don't know what your pay was like, okay?
1:15:03
Speaker 4: I don't know what type of benefits you had, but
1:15:05
Speaker 4: I do know receiving two and a half years in
1:15:08
Speaker 4: prison was not worth it. Not to mention, there is
1:15:11
Speaker 4: nothing these 10 men could have done for you, okay?
1:15:15
Speaker 4: I would love to know what led to this situation.
1:15:18
Speaker 4: They said he was pressured. They said that, you know,
1:15:20
Speaker 4: one of the inmates said that they were gonna stab him, okay?
1:15:23
Speaker 10: Like, eh, eh.
1:15:25
Speaker 8: Come on.
1:15:25
Speaker 4: Because all I would have done was gone straight to
1:15:27
Speaker 4: the authorities. You work in the prison. Hey, man, this
1:15:29
Speaker 4: guy said he's going to stab me if I don't
1:15:30
Speaker 4: turn the water off so they can escape.
1:15:32
Speaker 9: You're protected, Sterling.
1:15:34
Speaker 5: Okay? You didn't have to fall for that. Nobody believes that.
1:15:38
Speaker 16: All right?
1:15:38
Speaker 4: Sterling, I need you to know that you had something
1:15:41
Speaker 4: those ten inmates desperately wanted, and that was freedom. OK,
1:15:45
Speaker 4: you could walk into that jail every morning, clock in,
1:15:47
Speaker 4: do your job, clock out and go home.
1:15:49
Speaker 5: Why would you risk that for them?
1:15:50
Speaker 10: And words.
1:15:51
Speaker 4: OK, you are already on the right side of the
1:15:53
Speaker 4: prison walls. And now you've been sentenced to two and
1:15:56
Speaker 4: a half years behind them. This was some type of
1:15:58
Speaker 4: Freaky Friday prisoner exchange. OK, they got out and you
1:16:02
Speaker 4: ended up going in.
1:16:03
Speaker 3: And for what?
1:16:04
Speaker 4: This is why I want you to learn early what
1:16:06
Speaker 4: I learned late. If you have a job, do your job.
1:16:10
Speaker 4: Stop trying to give everybody the hookup, okay? Everybody doesn't
1:16:13
Speaker 4: need a favor, okay? I don't care if you work
1:16:15
Speaker 4: at a jail, a bank, a hospital, a restaurant. You
1:16:18
Speaker 4: have responsibilities. And sometimes doing somebody a favor means doing
1:16:21
Speaker 4: yourself a disservice, okay? Like I told y'all before, I
1:16:25
Speaker 4: used to work at a clothing store, demoing them all.
1:16:26
Speaker 4: Your homeboys would be like me. man, just act like
1:16:28
Speaker 4: you don't see me.
1:16:29
Speaker 5: Okay, look the other way for a second.
1:16:31
Speaker 4: Next thing you know, you fired or worse, sitting in
1:16:33
Speaker 4: a prison for two and a half years like Sterling. Okay,
1:16:36
Speaker 4: somebody else's problem has become your problem because you want
1:16:39
Speaker 4: to give somebody the damn hookup. Okay, real friends, real homies,
1:16:43
Speaker 4: people who actually love you are not going to allow
1:16:45
Speaker 4: you to risk losing something that's actually good for you
1:16:47
Speaker 4: just because they want something, all right? You don't have
1:16:50
Speaker 4: to be everybody's blessing. You have a job. Mind your
1:16:52
Speaker 4: business and collect your check because the people asking you
1:16:55
Speaker 4: for favors, aren't the people who will help you deal
1:16:58
Speaker 4: with the consequences. Okay, those inmates were trying to figure
1:17:01
Speaker 4: out how to get out of jail. All Sterling had
1:17:04
Speaker 4: to do was figure out how to get through his shift.
1:17:07
Speaker 4: Clock in, do your job, clock out, go home. Now
1:17:10
Speaker 4: you have been sentenced to two and a half years
1:17:12
Speaker 4: in prison. My people, my people, my people. Once again,
1:17:16
Speaker 4: not everybody needs a hookup. Okay, sometimes people just need
1:17:21
Speaker 4: to do their damn job. Please let Remy Ma give
1:17:25
Speaker 4: Sterling Williams the biggest hee-haw.
1:17:27
Speaker 16: Hee-haw, hee-haw.
1:17:29
Speaker 3: You stupid motherfucker.
1:17:31
Speaker 11: You dumb.
1:17:31
Speaker 3: Lauren, I know when you used to work for Delta,
1:17:34
Speaker 3: everybody wanted the damn hookup.
1:17:35
Speaker 16: Yeah, but Delta, you don't.
1:17:36
Speaker 21: Even play with them like that.
1:17:37
Speaker 16: There's a dress code and everything people use on buddy
1:17:39
Speaker 16: passes and your job will be taken fast you do
1:17:42
Speaker 16: not play with them they still.
1:17:43
Speaker 15: Got the buddy pass you pay like $ 1, 500 or something
1:17:46
Speaker 15: like that $ 5, 000 a year.
1:17:47
Speaker 16: You're not supposed to do that oh so I saw
1:17:51
Speaker 16: a video but I'm sure people still are but.
1:17:53
Speaker 4: I didn't watch it, though. I started to watch it,
1:17:55
Speaker 4: but I got distracted. This woman was saying how buddy
1:17:57
Speaker 4: passes aren't what they used to be.
1:17:58
Speaker 16: Well, I mean, the way that the flight situation is
1:18:00
Speaker 16: set up now with flights being canceled or oversold, you
1:18:03
Speaker 16: got to get on the early flights and hope that
1:18:04
Speaker 16: it's empty enough for you to get chosen off a standby.
1:18:07
Speaker 16: So everybody's seats is messed up now. It's hard.
1:18:10
Speaker 4: I don't even like people when they get mad at
1:18:13
Speaker 4: folks when they tell them, I can't do that. Like,
1:18:14
Speaker 4: if you work at Delta and you're like, I can't
1:18:15
Speaker 4: do that. I'm not losing my job. Don't get mad
1:18:18
Speaker 4: at the person.
1:18:19
Speaker 3: I'm not losing my job.
1:18:21
Speaker 16: With Delta, it was like, anything that happens while you
1:18:24
Speaker 16: fly my name and you act up on that plane,
1:18:27
Speaker 16: it immediately falls back on me. So you had to
1:18:30
Speaker 16: be very careful about who you gave... You know, or
1:18:33
Speaker 16: allowed to use your buddy.
1:18:33
Speaker 3: You got to dress a certain way. Yeah.
1:18:36
Speaker 16: It's like business casual. I think it was.
1:18:38
Speaker 13: Yeah.
1:18:38
Speaker 16: It's like you can't go just like sweatpants and all that.
1:18:40
Speaker 16: You're supposed to dress and look a certain way.
1:18:43
Speaker 9: All right.
1:18:43
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for that donkey today.
1:18:45
Speaker 11: Yes, ma'am.
1:18:45
Speaker 15: Now, when we come back, we have the mayor of
1:18:47
Speaker 15: Atlantic City, Marty Smalls, joining us and we're going to
1:18:50
Speaker 15: talk to him next.
1:18:51
Speaker 3: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Good morning, everybody. It's
1:18:53
Speaker 3: DJ Envy, just hilarious.
1:18:55
Speaker 9: Charlamagne, the guy.
1:18:56
Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. Law and the Rose is
1:18:58
Speaker 3: here as well. We got a special guest.
1:18:59
Speaker 10: In the building. Yes, indeed.
1:19:01
Speaker 15: We've been crying the last couple of weeks because of
1:19:03
Speaker 15: this football team.
1:19:04
Speaker 3: Ladies and gentlemen, we have the mayor of Atlantic City.
1:19:07
Speaker 10: That was so petty.
1:19:08
Speaker 3: Mayor Marty Smalls. Yes. Thank you to the Breakfast Club.
1:19:12
Speaker 12: Yes, sir.
1:19:13
Speaker 3: To your worldwide audience.
1:19:14
Speaker 6: And as we say, it's a great day in the
1:19:17
Speaker 6: city of Atlantic City.
1:19:17
Speaker 8: Can we say great day?
1:19:18
Speaker 14: Yes, sir.
1:19:19
Speaker 12: Great day.
1:19:19
Speaker 10: Great day.
1:19:20
Speaker 3: Well, how are you doing, man?
1:19:21
Speaker 5: How's everything?
1:19:22
Speaker 6: Man, I'm blessed by the best, man. Life is good.
1:19:24
Speaker 6: The city's good. You know, the family's good. You know,
1:19:27
Speaker 6: after all we went through, you know, they say tough
1:19:29
Speaker 6: times don't last. Tough people do.
1:19:31
Speaker 15: So break down what you had to go through.
1:19:34
Speaker 3: We've seen you all over the news at one time.
1:19:36
Speaker 11: Yes.
1:19:37
Speaker 3: They tried to arrest you. They threw all types of
1:19:40
Speaker 3: lawsuits and allegations against you.
1:19:42
Speaker 6: So what happened? Break down for people that don't know.
1:19:44
Speaker 6: How I sum it up is my daughter, you know,
1:19:47
Speaker 6: went through her first love. And we knew the kid
1:19:51
Speaker 6: wasn't right for her. And sometimes they don't know at
1:19:54
Speaker 6: the time. And it was a situation where it was
1:19:57
Speaker 6: a lot of politics behind it. My wife and I
1:20:01
Speaker 6: control over $ 600 million in taxpayers' money with me being
1:20:04
Speaker 6: the mayor. And my wife being the superintendent of schools,
1:20:07
Speaker 6: that's like unheard of. And, you know, the contracts, the jobs,
1:20:12
Speaker 6: you know, things like that, you know, putting people in position.
1:20:16
Speaker 6: And they know that they can't beat me in an election.
1:20:20
Speaker 6: So this was a way to take me out. But
1:20:22
Speaker 6: the people of Atlantic City stood tall before that thing
1:20:26
Speaker 6: ever even went to trial when I got the most
1:20:28
Speaker 6: votes ever of any mayor. And I'm not bragging about it,
1:20:32
Speaker 6: but under indictment. And we went re-election for another four-year term.
1:20:37
Speaker 6: But my daughter was dealing with this kid. Except we
1:20:41
Speaker 6: didn't like it. So he was basically in our house
1:20:46
Speaker 6: without being in our house. He took an iPad that
1:20:50
Speaker 6: my daughter gave him. He was just recording conversations. And
1:20:54
Speaker 6: it was catching intimate conversations in the house.
1:20:58
Speaker 3: Conversations with our daughter.
1:21:01
Speaker 6: Nothing where we're like, hitting her so they they charged
1:21:06
Speaker 6: both me and my wife with child abuse child abuse
1:21:09
Speaker 6: endangering the welfare of a child and for two years
1:21:13
Speaker 6: we were drugged through the media as child abusers and
1:21:17
Speaker 6: they talked about having these quote 13 audios but what
1:21:22
Speaker 6: it was it was a 50 minute argument in the
1:21:24
Speaker 6: house between me my daughter my mother-in-law my son my wife.
1:21:28
Speaker 8: Uh went to work early that day and What they
1:21:33
Speaker 8: saying was on the.
1:21:33
Speaker 6: Tape was not on the tape. It was a traditional
1:21:37
Speaker 6: family argument. I was calm using the voice that I'm
1:21:41
Speaker 6: using now. And I'm like, you know, Jada, like, you
1:21:44
Speaker 6: can't talk to me that way. You can't do this.
1:21:47
Speaker 6: My daughter at the time, she was 16. She just
1:21:49
Speaker 6: turned 18. You didn't have to be calm.
1:21:52
Speaker 11: Yeah.
1:21:52
Speaker 3: Like, that's your child. You're just putting your child and
1:21:55
Speaker 3: you're raising your voice. My parents raised my voice, that
1:21:57
Speaker 3: voice at me.
1:21:58
Speaker 10: Exactly.
1:21:58
Speaker 3: I raised my voice at my kids.
1:22:00
Speaker 6: But I was calm and even The audios wasn't public
1:22:04
Speaker 6: until trial.
1:22:05
Speaker 8: And even during the first day of trial on break.
1:22:10
Speaker 6: The supporters that was in the gallery at a packed
1:22:12
Speaker 6: gallery every day, they was like, yo, I got so
1:22:14
Speaker 6: much more respect for you. You didn't yell. You didn't
1:22:17
Speaker 6: hit her, you know, on and on. So they try
1:22:20
Speaker 6: to sensationalize the case. They said that I hit my
1:22:23
Speaker 6: daughter upside her head with a broomstick, knocked her out.
1:22:28
Speaker 6: They made, And they don't know how, it's a cultural thing,
1:22:32
Speaker 6: like how we grow up. My mom and family members
1:22:35
Speaker 6: told me, like, I brought you in this world, I'll.
1:22:38
Speaker 10: Take you up.
1:22:39
Speaker 20: Yes.
1:22:40
Speaker 10: That's crazy.
1:22:40
Speaker 8: My mother killed me once, you know?
1:22:42
Speaker 6: So one of the things that they said, which was troubling,
1:22:45
Speaker 6: and I was nowhere near my daughter, inside my house,
1:22:48
Speaker 6: I was standing by my bedroom door, and I drew
1:22:51
Speaker 6: an imaginary line. I said, come across this line, and
1:22:55
Speaker 6: I'm going to earth slam your ass down the steps.
1:22:57
Speaker 17: Mm-hmm.
1:22:58
Speaker 8: They made that a big thing.
1:22:59
Speaker 6: They charged me with terroristic threats. My TSA had to
1:23:03
Speaker 6: get revoked because of those charges.
1:23:06
Speaker 3: I mean, I got it back. You can't threaten your
1:23:08
Speaker 3: kids with wrestling moves no more.
1:23:10
Speaker 6: But that's the thing. But clearly, I didn't mean it.
1:23:15
Speaker 6: I didn't touch it. So, you know, we had to
1:23:18
Speaker 6: get drugged through the mud. I went to trial first
1:23:21
Speaker 6: because they wanted me. The amount Of time that they
1:23:27
Speaker 6: offered my wife in jail, they told her that he's
1:23:29
Speaker 6: going to give her a five year street.
1:23:32
Speaker 8: And then before trial, they came to me and said, well,
1:23:36
Speaker 8: all this.
1:23:36
Speaker 3: Will go away.
1:23:37
Speaker 8: You'll get probation, but you got to give up your seat.
1:23:41
Speaker 8: And that's what it was all about.
1:23:42
Speaker 10: Oh, wow.
1:23:43
Speaker 3: That's what it's all about.
1:23:44
Speaker 4: We forget about, at least to me, in my eyes,
1:23:47
Speaker 4: we forget about the attack on black men that was happening.
1:23:50
Speaker 6: I feel like there was a real attack on black men.
1:23:52
Speaker 6: And I watched the show when y'all was talking about,
1:23:55
Speaker 6: you know, the situation. And that's fair game.
1:23:56
Speaker 11: It's the news.
1:23:57
Speaker 6: You know, I don't have no problem with it. So
1:24:01
Speaker 6: I went to trial. And on December 18th, I got
1:24:05
Speaker 6: acquitted on all counts. So they still had my wife and...
1:24:10
Speaker 6: the principal, who they said was hiding the abuse and,
1:24:16
Speaker 6: you know, to protect us. But that principal is like
1:24:20
Speaker 6: a family member. She's like my wife's sister.
1:24:22
Speaker 8: She's like my little sister. My kids call her Aunt Mandy.
1:24:27
Speaker 6: And one of the things that was sensationalizing, you know,
1:24:30
Speaker 6: really pissed a lot of people off. They raided my house.
1:24:34
Speaker 6: So they gave the principal and I, we had the
1:24:36
Speaker 6: same exact search warrant. What they did with her, They
1:24:40
Speaker 6: went to the high school and said, give me your phone,
1:24:42
Speaker 6: give me your Apple Watch, let us search your infotainment
1:24:45
Speaker 6: system in the car. And this is over an alleged
1:24:48
Speaker 6: child case. They come to my house in a driving rain.
1:24:54
Speaker 6: We was taking my mother-in-law to the hospital who lived
1:24:56
Speaker 6: with us.
1:24:56
Speaker 3: At the time.
1:24:58
Speaker 6: And 20 officers, guns, battering rams, and more was in
1:25:04
Speaker 6: my house for hours. And that allowed people to speculate
1:25:09
Speaker 6: because Unfortunately, and I'm not casting any aspersions on anyone,
1:25:13
Speaker 6: but Atlantic City mayors have had issues with, quote, corruption.
1:25:19
Speaker 6: So that's what people started to think. Oh, well, this
1:25:22
Speaker 6: is where all the housing authority money is.
1:25:24
Speaker 3: Oh, he got drugs.
1:25:25
Speaker 8: He got guns. He got this.
1:25:27
Speaker 6: So I called my attorney. I said, nah, this ain't that.
1:25:30
Speaker 6: You know, we're going to have a press conference. And
1:25:33
Speaker 6: we're going to let the people know that this is
1:25:34
Speaker 6: over child matter, that they took laptops, phones, and a
1:25:39
Speaker 6: note that my daughter wrote, basically saying like, y'all too
1:25:43
Speaker 6: hard on me.
1:25:44
Speaker 8: I want to do what I want to do. But
1:25:46
Speaker 8: you know, you're 16 years old.
1:25:47
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:25:48
Speaker 6: So all of that was all over the news. They
1:25:51
Speaker 6: had three offices while all the rest of them was inside,
1:25:55
Speaker 6: outside my house with guns, like they protecting Buckingham palace,
1:26:00
Speaker 6: you know? So, then that allowed people to speculate. So
1:26:03
Speaker 6: then we had that press conference on April 1st, 2024, ironically,
1:26:08
Speaker 6: April fool's day to tell people that this was.
1:26:11
Speaker 3: Over child matter.
1:26:11
Speaker 6: And my attorney said that what they did to him,
1:26:16
Speaker 6: they're going to pay for it because they shouldn't have
1:26:19
Speaker 6: stuck their nose into the small family household. And now,
1:26:23
Speaker 6: you know, everything is public. Um, you know, jurors were
1:26:26
Speaker 6: saying the same thing, like what a joke, what they
1:26:28
Speaker 6: did for us.
1:26:29
Speaker 8: But, You know, we worship an awesome God.
1:26:32
Speaker 6: And at the end of the day, and I remember
1:26:34
Speaker 6: talking to you, you called me to check on me
1:26:36
Speaker 6: and you said your wife said this is probably over
1:26:38
Speaker 6: a little boy. And that's exactly what it was. And,
1:26:42
Speaker 6: you know, ever since then, we've been back. The family
1:26:46
Speaker 6: is back, more importantly. My daughter's back home. The relationship is,
1:26:50
Speaker 6: you know, shout out to Jada. She's a freshman at, uh,
1:26:52
Speaker 6: Kane university. I'm doing very well. And now, you know,
1:26:57
Speaker 6: dad was right about the guy.
1:26:59
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
1:26:59
Speaker 13: Yeah.

Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:27:08
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:27:08
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:27:08
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:27:08
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:27:09
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:27:09
Speaker 23: Yeah.
1:27:09
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:27:09
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 5: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 23: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 26: Yeah.
1:27:10
Speaker 13: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
1:27:11
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:27:11
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:27:12
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:27:12
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:27:13
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:27:13
Speaker 6: Yeah I took the stand in my own defense. And
1:27:16
Speaker 6: I looked those jurors in the eyes and I said,
1:27:19
Speaker 6: when I win this case, I said, I'm going to
1:27:22
Speaker 6: get my daughter back. And it was rough at first
1:27:24
Speaker 6: because she was gone for like almost two years.
1:27:26
Speaker 3: What do you mean gone? She moved out. Oh, did you? Yeah, yeah.
1:27:31
Speaker 3: She moved out on her own or the state made
1:27:32
Speaker 3: her move out? No, she moved out. And that's the
1:27:34
Speaker 3: thing that people said.
1:27:35
Speaker 6: They was like, well, if it was so bad, why
1:27:38
Speaker 6: didn't DC PNP remove her from the house then?
1:27:41
Speaker 9: Yeah.
1:27:42
Speaker 6: And then here's the crazy part. And I know y'all
1:27:45
Speaker 6: are parents in here. Imagine sitting down having dinner.
1:27:49
Speaker 3: With your child.
1:27:50
Speaker 6: And, you know, she's talking about the court system and
1:27:53
Speaker 6: different things. And she's like, she's not coming to court.
1:27:56
Speaker 6: And I'm explaining to her.
1:27:57
Speaker 3: Yes, you are.
1:27:58
Speaker 6: Because she testified against us, you know, with the boy and,
1:28:03
Speaker 6: you know, being in her head and the prosecutors tricking
1:28:06
Speaker 6: her to testify and on and on and on. And
1:28:08
Speaker 6: she was like, you know, she didn't want to come
1:28:11
Speaker 6: to court. That they told her and they like coerced
1:28:14
Speaker 6: her to say certain things.
1:28:16
Speaker 8: But that was difficult.
1:28:18
Speaker 6: But again, as the leader of my household, the leader
1:28:21
Speaker 6: of the city, I said I had to get my
1:28:23
Speaker 6: daughter back.
1:28:24
Speaker 4: Psychologically and emotionally, how did that impact you when your
1:28:26
Speaker 4: daughter had to testify against you, even though you know
1:28:28
Speaker 4: she's being manipulated?
1:28:29
Speaker 7: Word.
1:28:29
Speaker 3: At that point, she was 18 at that point, right?
1:28:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, 17.
1:28:33
Speaker 12: 17.
1:28:33
Speaker 3: Yeah.
1:28:33
Speaker 6: It was, it was, it was tough sitting in court and,
1:28:37
Speaker 6: you know, watching your daughter and it was a dark
1:28:40
Speaker 6: time in her life, you know, mentally, um, you know,
1:28:44
Speaker 6: that was a tough time for everybody. But like I said,
1:28:46
Speaker 6: we having dinner one day and she's talking about the court.
1:28:49
Speaker 6: She's not coming.
1:28:49
Speaker 8: I'm like, Jay, they won't make you testify.
1:28:51
Speaker 6: And I said, well, you need to really change your thinking,
1:28:54
Speaker 6: meaning thinking about Two days later, I get hit with
1:28:57
Speaker 6: another charge, witness tampering.
1:28:59
Speaker 8: Like, you see the politics in the game, witness tampering.
1:29:03
Speaker 16: Oh, because she said to them that y'all had a conversation?
1:29:05
Speaker 6: And I said, she need to switch up her thinking.
1:29:07
Speaker 6: They said, well, oh, he told you to change his story.
1:29:10
Speaker 5: No, you actually were telling us you got to come
1:29:12
Speaker 5: to court.
1:29:13
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:29:14
Speaker 15: So how did you forgive your daughter after that?
1:29:15
Speaker 3: Because that's... That had to be difficult.
1:29:18
Speaker 6: I mean, it was difficult, but, you know, we're better
1:29:21
Speaker 6: for it. You know, everyone, you know, we all went
1:29:24
Speaker 6: through it. And we all as a family, you know,
1:29:26
Speaker 6: forgave each other for what transpired. And like I said,
1:29:29
Speaker 6: my daughter's thriving. As a matter of fact, I'm going
1:29:32
Speaker 6: to go see her after this. You know, she's doing
1:29:35
Speaker 6: really well. And, you know, she sent me a note
1:29:39
Speaker 6: one night when she first came home, my first night home.
1:29:43
Speaker 8: She said, like, Dad, thanks for not giving up on me.
1:29:47
Speaker 6: Two nights later it was more detailed and I shared
1:29:50
Speaker 6: that note when I invited people to our graduation celebration
1:29:54
Speaker 6: it's like okay what we went through was tough but
1:29:58
Speaker 6: this is all worth it and a lot of females
1:30:00
Speaker 6: that I grew up with who were in similar situations
1:30:03
Speaker 6: they said the same thing they said oh she gonna
1:30:06
Speaker 6: be alright once she realize once she wake up and
1:30:09
Speaker 6: on and on and now moving forward we got statements
1:30:14
Speaker 6: from detectives in the prosecutor's office that The prosecutor said,
1:30:18
Speaker 6: this is my big case.
1:30:20
Speaker 3: We at war.
1:30:21
Speaker 6: And when I take down Marty Small, I'm going to
1:30:23
Speaker 6: be the next New Jersey attorney general.
1:30:26
Speaker 8: And we have.
1:30:27
Speaker 6: Statements from officers in there saying that they've never seen
1:30:30
Speaker 6: anything like this, the way that they handled my case.
1:30:34
Speaker 6: And we also have a statement from my daughter that
1:30:36
Speaker 6: basically said, and this is when it really hit me.
1:30:40
Speaker 6: So the day before my swearing in, I told you
1:30:42
Speaker 6: I got acquitted December 18th, the day before my swearing in.
1:30:46
Speaker 6: we went to Macy's to get her an outfit for
1:30:48
Speaker 6: my swearing in on January 1st for the new term.
1:30:51
Speaker 6: And she said to me, she said, I said, it
1:30:54
Speaker 6: feels so good to be back.
1:30:55
Speaker 8: How you feel?
1:30:56
Speaker 6: She said, well, dad, I'm not going to lie. She
1:30:58
Speaker 6: was like, I think that you're only doing this because
1:31:02
Speaker 6: of the verdict. And I looked at her. I said,
1:31:05
Speaker 6: you damn right. I said, you want to know why?
1:31:07
Speaker 6: Because they would have put me under the jail.
1:31:10
Speaker 8: She's like, what?
1:31:12
Speaker 6: I said, Jada, they was trying to, She was like, well,
1:31:14
Speaker 6: they ain't tell me that. They told me that, Jada,
1:31:17
Speaker 6: we just want justice for you. Neither one of your
1:31:19
Speaker 6: parents are going to jail. And my daughter was so
1:31:24
Speaker 6: sick over having to come to court. They made her
1:31:27
Speaker 6: come to court. She vomited three times on the day
1:31:30
Speaker 6: that she took the stand for seven hours. They gave
1:31:33
Speaker 6: her medicine, which they wasn't supposed to do. And like
1:31:36
Speaker 6: I said, they told her that nothing was going to
1:31:38
Speaker 6: happen to us. And furthermore, if you don't come, you're
1:31:42
Speaker 6: going to jail. And here's the kicker. They had 24-hour
1:31:49
Speaker 6: surveillance around the boyfriend's house. No threat was made to
1:31:54
Speaker 6: my daughter, no anything. They said they wasn't threatened. My
1:31:58
Speaker 6: daughter would go to the store. They would follow her.
1:32:00
Speaker 6: And the detective said that they've never seen anything like
1:32:03
Speaker 6: this because even the prosecutor himself tried to paint us as,
1:32:08
Speaker 6: you know, modern-day gangsters.
1:32:11
Speaker 8: He walked around with a bodyguard.
1:32:12
Speaker 6: You're the top law enforcement official in Atlantic County. And
1:32:16
Speaker 6: he walked around with a bodyguard because he said the
1:32:19
Speaker 6: smalls are going to get me. So all of this
1:32:22
Speaker 6: is public. We just put our judgment in. We're suing
1:32:25
Speaker 6: him for 50 million dollars. And, you know, like I said,
1:32:29
Speaker 6: we we we got a story to tell. And, you know,
1:32:32
Speaker 6: to the people in the great city of Atlantic City that.
1:32:35
Speaker 6: supported us and rallied beyond us like no other, you know,
1:32:39
Speaker 6: we're forever grateful because, you know, we stand up for
1:32:41
Speaker 6: our people. We give people opportunities and they really showed
1:32:45
Speaker 6: up and showed out for us.
1:32:47
Speaker 4: Like you just said, you're suing the prosecutor. Why isn't
1:32:49
Speaker 4: being found not guilty enough for you? No, because you
1:32:53
Speaker 4: got to pay for that.
1:32:54
Speaker 6: Like I was on every major newspaper throughout the country.
1:32:59
Speaker 6: Y'all know y'all in the media. Once it hit the
1:33:00
Speaker 6: Associated Press, it's everywhere. Front page, Atlantic City's mayor, superintendent,
1:33:07
Speaker 6: you know, charged with child abuse when it wasn't no abuse.
1:33:11
Speaker 6: It was just a disagreement, you know. And, you know, listen,
1:33:15
Speaker 6: you I believe in the justice system. Unfortunately, I've been
1:33:19
Speaker 6: through some things and came through them every single time.
1:33:22
Speaker 6: But nah, this was next level low. Now you're involving
1:33:25
Speaker 6: my child.
1:33:27
Speaker 5: I agree with you too.
1:33:27
Speaker 4: Also, these allegations can destroy a reputation even if you're
1:33:32
Speaker 4: not convicted.
1:33:32
Speaker 8: Yeah, because still to this day.
1:33:36
Speaker 6: You know, the haters and the blogs and the comments
1:33:39
Speaker 6: that don't want me and my wife in the position
1:33:41
Speaker 6: that we are.
1:33:42
Speaker 3: It's every day.
1:33:44
Speaker 5: Oh, you child abuser.
1:33:45
Speaker 6: I could be talking about the new football field that
1:33:47
Speaker 6: I just gave the Atlantic City Dolphins.
1:33:49
Speaker 3: Oh, child abuser. Oh, they still guilty.
1:33:51
Speaker 8: They this, they that.
1:33:52
Speaker 6: So we still got to live with that. And listen,
1:33:55
Speaker 6: how do you get your reputation back? The people of
1:33:58
Speaker 6: Atlantic City saw right through it.
1:33:59
Speaker 3: You got to pay for that.
1:34:01
Speaker 16: That verdict came back in minutes. I read.
1:34:03
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:34:03
Speaker 7: Yeah.
1:34:04
Speaker 12: Yeah.
1:34:05
Speaker 4: You know, I want to ask you, when you and
1:34:06
Speaker 4: your wife were going through your situation, both of y'all
1:34:08
Speaker 4: facing criminal charges, who's holding the family together?
1:34:11
Speaker 16: I was about to say, yeah.
1:34:12
Speaker 8: What you mean?
1:34:13
Speaker 5: Like, who's holding the family?
1:34:14
Speaker 4: Like, both of y'all are dealing with criminal charges. Like,
1:34:15
Speaker 4: I know mentally, I'm like, who? Listen, we were unbothered.
1:34:20
Speaker 8: Unbothered.
1:34:21
Speaker 6: I mean, at the end of the day, like I said,
1:34:22
Speaker 6: it all starts with faith. And that was my slogan
1:34:25
Speaker 6: for this year with the state of the city. Faith, resilience, redemption. And,
1:34:30
Speaker 6: you know, we know what God we serve. We had
1:34:33
Speaker 6: a loving family. that supported us like no other. And
1:34:37
Speaker 6: we went to work every single day. And I remember
1:34:40
Speaker 6: my officer, I'm going to give him a free plug,
1:34:43
Speaker 6: Carrie Dunbar is back there. He'll tell you when I
1:34:45
Speaker 6: first found out we was charged, we was going to
1:34:48
Speaker 6: go pick up a salad in Pleasantville. And I just
1:34:51
Speaker 6: turned around. I said, oh, they just charged us. I
1:34:53
Speaker 6: went and got my salad and came back to work.
1:34:56
Speaker 6: The day of the raid, I had a lot of
1:34:57
Speaker 6: stuff to do at work. I had to make sure
1:34:59
Speaker 6: that my wife was okay mentally mentally. I said, you good?
1:35:03
Speaker 6: I said, I'll be back. I went back to work.
1:35:05
Speaker 6: And every day we showed up for the people. And,
1:35:08
Speaker 6: you know, we said, we'll have our day in court.
1:35:10
Speaker 6: And justice prevailed.

1:36:04
Speaker 16: So sending a congratulations real quick to Sherri Shepherd. You
1:36:08
Speaker 16: guys remember she was here and we were talking about
1:36:10
Speaker 16: the fact that she was headed out on to Broadway
1:36:12
Speaker 16: as the genie in Aladdin. Well, she made her debut
1:36:16
Speaker 16: on the stage this Friday that passed, Friday, October 16th.
1:36:20
Speaker 7: Yes.
1:36:20
Speaker 16: So she took her first bow as the genie.
1:36:23
Speaker 3: Congratulations, Sherri Shepherd. I see she got a standing ovation, too.
1:36:25
Speaker 16: Yes, she did.
1:36:26
Speaker 3: I saw someone posted it. They will.
1:36:28
Speaker 16: I love to see the people supporting Sherri Shepherd in
1:36:30
Speaker 16: all of her endeavors.
1:36:31
Speaker 5: Dropping the clues bombs for Sherri Shepherd, damn it. She
1:36:34
Speaker 5: played a genie, right?
1:36:34
Speaker 3: Yes.
1:36:35
Speaker 5: I need to go see that.
1:36:36
Speaker 16: Yeah, I want to go see it as well, too.
1:36:38
Speaker 3: I've seen Aladdin on Broadway already, but I'll go see
1:36:40
Speaker 3: it if Sherri's in it.
1:36:41
Speaker 16: Yeah, she's making history there. Now, in other news, over
1:36:45
Speaker 16: the weekend, there was a report that broke that Diddy
1:36:47
Speaker 16: was moved to a different federal low-security prison in Pennsylvania.
1:36:53
Speaker 16: So that did happen. Now, a lot of the reports
1:36:55
Speaker 16: couldn't explain why. I spoke to a rep for Diddy,
1:36:58
Speaker 16: and from what they're gathering from the situation, it's based
1:37:00
Speaker 16: on everything that has been happening over this last year
1:37:02
Speaker 16: that we've been talking about. And this prison that he's
1:37:05
Speaker 16: moved to is smaller in population, so they believe that
1:37:07
Speaker 16: it'll be easier, not easier, but a lot better to
1:37:10
Speaker 16: handle some of the security breaches and different things that
1:37:12
Speaker 16: were happening. Because when all that stuff was happening in
1:37:14
Speaker 16: the last jail, there were tons of raids onto people's
1:37:17
Speaker 16: cells and stuff that happened because of all the contraband reports.
1:37:19
Speaker 16: So it caused a big stir up.
1:37:21
Speaker 4: Are they going to be micromanaging Diddy's situation at this
1:37:24
Speaker 4: new prison?
1:37:25
Speaker 10: Yeah, of course.
1:37:26
Speaker 16: They're going to have to.
1:37:28
Speaker 14: Yep.
1:37:28
Speaker 16: Now, there was also a story shifting gears a bit
1:37:30
Speaker 16: over the weekend about Drake and the song Janice Shut
1:37:33
Speaker 16: the F Up. So, big song. It's charted. It's been,
1:37:36
Speaker 16: you know, one of the songs of the summer. But
1:37:38
Speaker 16: the argument that's happening right now in court, there is
1:37:41
Speaker 16: a producer that is saying that Drake stole, that is
1:37:44
Speaker 16: alleging that Drake stole the hook of that song from him. Now,
1:37:48
Speaker 16: this producer, his name is Avi, and he claims that
1:37:50
Speaker 16: he recorded the hook to Janice Shut the F Up
1:37:53
Speaker 16: back in January of 2026. He says he then sent
1:37:55
Speaker 16: it over to producers that were working with Drake, only
1:37:58
Speaker 16: to then hear the exact same lyrics and melody when
1:38:01
Speaker 16: Drake released it back in May, is what he's alleging.
1:38:03
Speaker 3: Now, Can we hear it? Well, we don't.
1:38:06
Speaker 16: So we only know the Janice. We only have like
1:38:08
Speaker 16: the actual song.
1:38:09
Speaker 3: You want to hear the actual song?
1:38:09
Speaker 11: No, no, no.
1:38:10
Speaker 3: I thought maybe we had his version.
1:38:11
Speaker 16: Well, no, because there is. So in reports, they say
1:38:14
Speaker 16: that he did say that he had even reached back
1:38:17
Speaker 16: out to Drake's team and was like, hey, y'all remember
1:38:19
Speaker 16: this like melody? Like, here's what I submitted to you guys.
1:38:22
Speaker 16: I need to be properly credited, but I don't have
1:38:23
Speaker 16: that melody.
1:38:24
Speaker 4: No is a melody melody not the same as lyrics
1:38:28
Speaker 4: though right Yeah.
1:38:30
Speaker 3: Well, I know.
1:38:31
Speaker 16: I think this is it. But you know how it
1:38:33
Speaker 16: can be. But you know how when people do those.
1:38:34
Speaker 8: What is it?
1:38:35
Speaker 16: Reference tracks. I don't know if it's something like that
1:38:37
Speaker 16: that he's referring to. But he said that he went
1:38:40
Speaker 16: back and provided exact timestamps to back up his claims.
1:38:43
Speaker 16: And they still refuse to give him credit or cut profits.
1:38:46
Speaker 3: Now, I would love to hear it to see the similarity.
1:38:49
Speaker 11: It sounds.
1:38:49
Speaker 19: Yeah.
1:38:50
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:38:50
Speaker 16: I don't have that. I'm sorry. I can try and
1:38:52
Speaker 16: get it, though. But Drake's team released statements to several
1:38:56
Speaker 16: different media outlets. I only even knew that this story
1:38:57
Speaker 16: was breaking because I got sent a statement. So they
1:39:00
Speaker 16: were very adamant about wanting people to know that he
1:39:02
Speaker 16: is saying that this is a manufactured and baseless attempt
1:39:05
Speaker 16: to exploit his name and success for money and attention,
1:39:08
Speaker 16: insisting that the claims are entirely made up. They say
1:39:10
Speaker 16: Drake wrote the song and has no connection or knowledge
1:39:13
Speaker 16: of this person. Full stop.
1:39:15
Speaker 14: Yeah.
1:39:16
Speaker 5: Why is this news again?
1:39:18
Speaker 16: Because Janice Shut The F Up was a huge song.
1:39:21
Speaker 16: There's always conversations around Drake and what he is or
1:39:23
Speaker 16: is not writing.
1:39:24
Speaker 5: And nobody cares. Let's just say it's true, right? If
1:39:28
Speaker 5: it was true, who cares?
1:39:29
Speaker 3: Well, he wants his money, though.
1:39:31
Speaker 23: The producer wants his money.
1:39:34
Speaker 4: I'm basing my comments off Drake's team statement. It's like, okay,
1:39:38
Speaker 4: we know Drake has used Ghostwriters before and... I think
1:39:41
Speaker 4: the writer just wants his credit so he can get
1:39:43
Speaker 4: paid if that's the case.
1:39:44
Speaker 23: 100%.
1:39:44
Speaker 16: What's the writer's name? His name is Avi. His nickname
1:39:47
Speaker 16: is Avi. His full name is.
1:39:50
Speaker 5: Drake will come out with a song called Avi, Shut.
1:39:52
Speaker 9: The F Up.
1:39:52
Speaker 3: Okay.
1:39:53
Speaker 16: Aviel Khalif Hirschfeld.
1:39:55
Speaker 5: All right.
1:39:56
Speaker 23: Yeah.
1:39:56
Speaker 15: And then they just got to prove that you know,
1:39:59
Speaker 15: it was copywritten or, you know, taped before Drake did
1:40:02
Speaker 15: his version. My mom used to say, just mail it
1:40:04
Speaker 15: back to yourself and don't open it just in case
1:40:06
Speaker 15: you need it later on.
1:40:06
Speaker 3: I don't know if that ever worked.
1:40:08
Speaker 11: I remember.
1:40:09
Speaker 5: It was called The Poor Man's Copyright.
1:40:10
Speaker 4: Yeah.
1:40:11
Speaker 3: Oh, wow.
1:40:11
Speaker 15: Just mail it back to yourself and never open it
1:40:13
Speaker 15: until you got to go to court.
1:40:14
Speaker 4: Oh, wow. I don't know if that's ever worked for anybody.
1:40:17
Speaker 4: I don't know where that came from, but I used
1:40:19
Speaker 4: to do the same damn thing.
1:40:20
Speaker 5: A poor man's copyright. That's right.
1:40:22
Speaker 4: It's the myth of mailing or emailing a copy of
1:40:25
Speaker 4: your creative work to yourself to prove you created it.
1:40:28
Speaker 16: Yeah, I never heard that, but I don't know. Whatever
1:40:30
Speaker 16: is going to happen here, though, we will be keeping
1:40:32
Speaker 16: you guys updated with the latest. And I'll try and
1:40:33
Speaker 16: see if we can get our hands on any of
1:40:34
Speaker 16: those audio files or, you know, whatever. was submitted back
1:40:37
Speaker 16: to Drake's team. Now, shifting gears, lastly, here in New York,
1:40:42
Speaker 16: last night, actually, the Victoria's Secret fashion show went down.
1:40:45
Speaker 16: Did any of you guys watch it?
1:40:47
Speaker 10: No.
1:40:47
Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
1:40:48
Speaker 16: Well, there was a lot of fun things that happened
1:40:50
Speaker 16: during the show. Meg Thee Stallion, who walked the runway there,
1:40:53
Speaker 16: also performed. We have a snippet of Megan performing. We're
1:40:57
Speaker 16: supposed to use an overtalk, but you can use it now.
1:40:58
Speaker 16: Do you have it, Red?
1:40:59
Speaker 3: You said hold on.
1:41:02
Speaker 16: Yeah, we had it for the overtalk, but I moved
1:41:03
Speaker 16: it up.
1:41:03
Speaker 12: Sorry.
1:41:21
Speaker 3: What the hell is that?
1:41:23
Speaker 16: She performed her songs, her and then body. Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada.
1:41:26
Speaker 10: Yeah.
1:41:26
Speaker 5: But, uh, Megan, I'm gonna tell you something.
1:41:28
Speaker 4: Don't you ever play audio from Victoria's secret.
1:41:31
Speaker 5: If we can't show it.
1:41:33
Speaker 10: All right.
1:41:33
Speaker 3: I printed some pictures.
1:41:35
Speaker 16: I put it in for the audio listeners. You guys
1:41:37
Speaker 16: can't see the pictures, but, uh, Meg D'Estaia was in
1:41:40
Speaker 16: a black ensemble with silver wings. She looked amazing. Body
1:41:44
Speaker 16: looked amazing. Natalia Bryant, Kobe Bryant's daughter also walked. She
1:41:48
Speaker 16: was in a pink bra.
1:41:49
Speaker 3: Not like, I had to check her age. I'm like,
1:41:51
Speaker 3: Wasn't she just 15? I know. She's grown now. Yeah,
1:41:54
Speaker 3: she's grown.
1:41:55
Speaker 16: She was in some studded denim rhinestone jeans with the
1:41:59
Speaker 16: pink velour. It was very like a Y2K Victoria's Secret look.
1:42:02
Speaker 16: And her mother, Vanessa Bryant, was there. And she was
1:42:05
Speaker 16: literally like the first person there. Like literally nobody was there.
1:42:08
Speaker 16: She was the first person there just excited to support
1:42:09
Speaker 16: her daughter. And then Kylie Jenner also walked the runway
1:42:12
Speaker 16: as well. And she walked the runway in some money.
1:42:15
Speaker 16: She walked the runway in a bra that is listed
1:42:17
Speaker 16: as $ 50 million. This is the fantasy bra. And it's
1:42:21
Speaker 16: the first time that the bra made it back on
1:42:22
Speaker 16: the runway since 2018.
1:42:23
Speaker 3: You got a bra on that's worth more than the titties.
1:42:25
Speaker 5: Well, I don't know how much she.
1:42:26
Speaker 9: Paid for her.
1:42:27
Speaker 3: Like $ 50 million for a bra?
1:42:28
Speaker 16: Well, in all the surgeries, you don't know what her... There.
1:42:30
Speaker 5: Ain't no $ 50 million.
1:42:31
Speaker 23: There ain't no breath in the world worth $ 50 million.
1:42:33
Speaker 15: That's just for photo shoots. I'm sure they just stocked
1:42:35
Speaker 15: that somewhere. And I'm sure that's not real diamonds. The
1:42:37
Speaker 15: milk ain't even worth.
1:42:39
Speaker 3: $ 50 million.
1:42:40
Speaker 16: I'm sure that's CZ. Actually, 75.54 carat radiant cut fancy
1:42:43
Speaker 16: vivid yellow diamonds. It took 15 people to make it,
1:42:47
Speaker 16: 1,000 hours to build it, and it features over 4,000
1:42:50
Speaker 16: natural diamonds surrounding the bra.
1:42:52
Speaker 3: What they gonna do with that after?
1:42:53
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying?
1:42:53
Speaker 5: Nobody gonna wear it.
1:42:55
Speaker 23: I don't know.

Speaker 5: And a $ 50 million bra that you can't wait to
1:42:57
Speaker 5: take off. You know what I'm saying?
