  Speaker 4: get it off your chest. Eight hundred five eight five
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: one oh five one, and of course we got front
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: page news.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Me Meal be joining us. What we're starting to show it? Oh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: you can never go wrong? Mary be happy? Okay?
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Can now you bring it back that dope meeting I
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: got when I was in when I went to go

  Speaker 3: see Mary a few weeks ago.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: You hear me, Oh, man, I see married other night.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: In fact, Joe's birthday. It's the breakfast slept good morning.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: The next morning.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Everybody is DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy. We
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: are the breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: What's uping to me?
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Charlotte, Good morning, And how I'm doing this morning?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: University alumni, what's happening there?
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: You go?
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: I like it? Good morning.
• 3:07
  Speaker 9: So we start this morning with President Trump's family business
• 3:11
  Speaker 9: getting the green light to become a bank.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: From regulators appointed by President Trump.
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: And that's raising it's raising, listen, it's raising a lot
• 3:22
  Speaker 9: of conflict of interest. So you're not the only one
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: pointing that out. Trump and his sons they helped launch
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: the crypto company World Liberty Financial, and the family still
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: has a financial.
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: Stake in it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: So now federal regulators they have given the company preliminary
• 3:37
  Speaker 9: approval to become a national trust bank. So this would
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: not be a traditional bank where you deposit your paycheck
• 3:43
  Speaker 9: or get a mortgage. It would allow World Liberty Bank
• 3:47
  Speaker 9: to control its own crypto, so instead of paying other
• 3:50
  Speaker 9: companies to do it, the Trump family business would do it,
• 3:53
  Speaker 9: and they would have more control and more profit. And
• 3:56
  Speaker 9: that's where the conflict of interests is coming in. Let's
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: listen to a federal regulator.
• 4:01
  Speaker 10: He's regulating himself, which means, in effect, there's no regulation.
• 4:05
  Speaker 10: So if he breaks a regulatory requirement, if his business
• 4:10
  Speaker 10: engages in more risky behavior than what's permitted under the law,
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: there's no way to hold him accountable.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Listen, the levels of corruption are unmatched. Like we shouldn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: be saying this is a conflic and interest. It's unprecedented corruption.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: We have a whole generation of people who don't even
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: realize this shouldn't be happening.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: This is ridiculous.
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, well, Senate Democrats, they're introducing a bill that would
• 4:35
  Speaker 9: block federal regulators from approving banks own or controlled by
• 4:39
  Speaker 9: presidents and their families. So we'll see what happens with that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 9: But the approval is not final yet, but this is
• 4:46
  Speaker 9: in the works.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I don't think I don't think America can recover from
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: this level of corruption because once people see you can
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: get away with this type of stuff, like there's no
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: going back. Like if every single person in this administration
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: is and in jail in the next fivey is like
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: it's just a wrap up for America as a country.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: We used to be a proper country that I thought
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: we had checks and balances, but maybe we never did well.
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: Maybe there was checks and balances to this situation, because
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: it seems like he just does what he wants to
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: do and it's just like but maybe.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: There's never been checks and balances, and maybe they nobody's
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: ever tried.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Trump administration got an office and.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Realized that, like, you know, we can get away with
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: a whole lot because the ain't nobody gonna check us
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: booth at all.
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: That is true, and that seems to be what is happening.
• 5:27
  Speaker 9: And President Trump is pushing back of reports about conditions
• 5:30
  Speaker 9: aboard the Lincoln, the USS Abraham Lincoln, calling it fake news.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: So we've been talking to you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 9: Guys about the growing concerns over the sailors and the
• 5:38
  Speaker 9: marines that are aboard that aircraft. The Lincoln hasn't been
• 5:41
  Speaker 9: deployed since November and now has spent about two hundred
• 5:44
  Speaker 9: and sixty days away from home, far longer than expected.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: The families and sailors they have described.
• 5:50
  Speaker 9: Food shortages, rotten food, moldy showers, and growing mental health concerns,
• 5:55
  Speaker 9: and at least one sailor recently went overboard in what
• 5:58
  Speaker 9: the Navy described as at health episode. Now, Navy leaders
• 6:02
  Speaker 9: they met with families about those concerns, and over the weekend,
• 6:05
  Speaker 9: the head of the US Central Command they visited the
• 6:07
  Speaker 9: ship and they acknowledge that life aboard the aircraft currier
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: can be challenging and stressful. The President Trump says reports
• 6:15
  Speaker 9: about the condition on the Lincoln simply aren't true.
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: Let's listen, the Lincoln has been out there for a
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: period of time, good period of time. But over the years,
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: we've had him out there much longer. I was at
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: a group meeting and an admiral came up to see
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: me over the weekend, and it was at a big
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: group and he happened to be an admiral retired. He said,
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: I've been on ships are out there much longer than that.
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Sir and I know people on the Lincoln they say
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: it's beautifully maintained and beautifully taken care of. And other
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: people went out and they found out to be true.
• 6:47
  Speaker 6: It was fake news reporting from CNN.
• 6:52
  Speaker 9: So concern, though, is also coming from inside the military.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: The former Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullin
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: says he has great concern about the conditions aboard the
• 7:02
  Speaker 9: ship and although he believes the truth will likely fall
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: somewhere in the middle and there is some relief for families.
• 7:08
  Speaker 9: I think we talked about this last week to the
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: Lincoln is finally coming home. They are replacing it with
• 7:14
  Speaker 9: another ship in the Middle East, but it will take
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: some time to get there. But families say they attribute
• 7:18
  Speaker 9: that to the public pressure. I know every time we
• 7:21
  Speaker 9: do this story, I get dozens of dms from families
• 7:26
  Speaker 9: and loved ones who say that their family members are
• 7:28
  Speaker 9: out there and they are worried about them.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Horrible harm.
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and really quickly. The Trump administration is creating a
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: new way for some people with felony convictions to get
• 7:42
  Speaker 9: their gun rights back. So under a new federal law,
• 7:45
  Speaker 9: the federal conviction, you will not a new federal law
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: but a federal law can keep you from legally owning
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: a gun. And there's been a technical way to get
• 7:53
  Speaker 9: to ask for your gun rights back, but for more
• 7:55
  Speaker 9: than thirty years, the government hasn't processed those applications. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 9: now the Justice the Department is creating a new online system.
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: Applications will be reviewed case by case, looking for a
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: person's criminal history and whether they could pose a threat
• 8:09
  Speaker 9: to the public. But the Justice Department says, if you
• 8:12
  Speaker 9: don't have a violent if you're not a violent offender,
• 8:14
  Speaker 9: you're not a registered sex offender, you generally won't qualify.
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: But if you don't fall under that, Attorney General Todd
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: blanche He says people should not permanently lose their constitutional
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: right if they no longer pose a public safety risk.
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: So they will be putting out an application. So if
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: you fall under that category, you may be able to
• 8:35
  Speaker 9: get your gun rights back.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: How do you know when you no longer fall under
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: that category?
• 8:38
  Speaker 11: Though?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Like, how do you know when somebody's no longer a
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: public safety risk? Like how long how much rehabilitation do
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: you have to see? Well that also a person before
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you feel like they're not a public safety rist?
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Well, it also going to be past that right, because
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: if you steal anything over two hundred fifty dollars, it's
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a felony.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It's a felon. Right.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: So if you steal something over twenty fifty dollars, you
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: did that when you were eighteen. Now you have a
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: felony on your account or a felony on your record
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: and you can't get a.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: I thought it was violent felons. I didn't know it
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: was stuff like steal.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: No.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: I think any type of feling you can't get.
• 9:04
  Speaker 8: No, because I couldn't. I had to get my expungement
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: before I could apply for my license.
• 9:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 9:11
  Speaker 9: Well, they said they were viewing it on a case
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: by case basis envy, So I guess they'll decide, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 9: how long it's been, what the offense was, and if
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: they feel like enough time has passed.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: I think they should because because you can make a
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: mistake or do something wrong at the age of eighteen
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: and then you're thirty years old and like, damn, I
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: want my license. I'm totally changed, that evolved. I got
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: a family. I want to protect them, and you can't.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: So I think I think you should be case by casey.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: I should all definitely.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Be case by case, because you know what if you
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: you would out and shot twenty people when you was nineteen.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: But they're not gonna give it that. That's a case
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: I could do that you have.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: I don't have to be twenty but two, all right.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: I just want to make sure you perfectly. You're really rehabilitated,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: that's all.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: That's all.
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah, So we'll continue to watch that.
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: But coming up at seven at PennState University, a cocaine
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: ring ran by students. We're going to get into it
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: in the next hour. Not Socan Braiden, but something similar. Actually, yeah,
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: something similar.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: All right, and everybody else, get it off your chest.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: Eight hundred and five eighty five is the breakfast.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: Love the morning. This it's your time to get it
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: off your chest, whether you're man or blast. I hate
• 10:20

• 10:22
  Speaker 2: I hate the waiting, your dress, everything when me is best?

  Speaker 13: This is Tommy? What's up? Birthdast Clubmy man? I'm calling
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: because my job is literally driving me crazy, like it's
• 16:58
  Speaker 13: becoming a mental health is you? And what's wild is like,
• 17:02
  Speaker 13: you know, I feel like a lot of times the
• 17:03
  Speaker 13: black community we're not in touch with her emotions. We're
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: not really aware of our mental health like that. And
• 17:10
  Speaker 13: my job is literally driving me crazy. And what's wild
• 17:13
  Speaker 13: about it is I'm a I'm a top performer. I
• 17:16
  Speaker 13: always meet my metrics, but they always pile on more responsibilities,
• 17:21
  Speaker 13: more spreadsheets, like and I work for the federal money.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: But not more money though.
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: And the money's the same. I literally went to the
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: doctor and he told me to get a psychiato. Like,
• 17:36
  Speaker 13: he set me up with a psychiatrist.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: I'm happy for you. I think you know, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I'm a big perponing the therapy.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: But if all that is coming from your job, goddamn,
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: and what.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Do you do?
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: What does you do?
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: Yeah, coming from our job. I'm a contract administrator for
• 17:51
  Speaker 13: the federal government. And honestly made me feel a little
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: bit of relief when Charlott Magne just said he's happy
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: for me. But to me, it made me feel weird
• 18:00
  Speaker 13: because it's not even a therapist. We're talking about us
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: psychologists and they actually gave me some stuff called Laxi
• 18:07
  Speaker 13: pro like. It makes me feel kind of weird, but
• 18:10
  Speaker 13: say that, but yeah, Lexi pro like.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: If a job a job, maybe should think about you know,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: if you can, if you if you can afford it
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: to maybe switching your job.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: If a job is job, you can tell you something though,
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: there's more to it than this. Your job, Like a
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: doctor ain't gonna give you a prescribe you as a
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: psychiatrist and put you on a lexi pro like there's
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: something there's probably something else going on that you haven't
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: revealed us than just discressful.
• 18:36
  Speaker 8: Maybe you don't know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no, it's not. I'm revealing everything like I literally,
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: like I take pride in my work ethic. I've never
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: been a type two, Like I'm fulling up to work
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: right now. I will probably sit in the car for
• 18:49
  Speaker 13: an hour getting mentally prepared trying to get up in there.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: It's just it's just my job. Chawla.
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: Man, you have never experienced this only at work.
• 18:58
  Speaker 13: Only at work, yeah, work period. Outside of work, I
• 19:03
  Speaker 13: have like a positive mental attitude everything. It's literally, I
• 19:08
  Speaker 13: hate to say because it sounds cliche. This is a
• 19:10
  Speaker 13: toxic work environment. So I'm not sick of my job.
• 19:13
  Speaker 13: The job is making me sick.
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: You might need to walk I'm saying that's your mental health.
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: You start looking and you know, regardless you can afford
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: it or not, Like you don't want your job to
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: drive you crazy.
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: Because you're Lexapro is an antidepressant.
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and I think it's more anxiety for me. But
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: y'all right, I do need to walk away. You know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 13: it's just the logistics of that. You know what I mean, Bill,
• 19:36

• 19:51
  Speaker 3: psychiatrist though, you know what I mean, Actually be grateful
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: that you have the means and the resources to talk
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: to a doctor and he can prescribe you those things, man,
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: because a lot of people don't have those.

  Speaker 17: like there'll be like little jokes about, like you know,
• 25:41
  Speaker 17: if you plage something different or whatever.
• 25:42
  Speaker 8: But that's the log line of.

• 26:46
  Speaker 17: Yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited to see it. Well, that
• 26:48
  Speaker 17: is the latest for the hour, and then in the
• 26:51
  Speaker 17: next latest, we're gonna talk a bit. We're gonna stay
• 26:53
  Speaker 17: in the schools because Young Thug has some advice to
• 26:55
  Speaker 17: the children in the schools that he's getting a little
• 26:57
  Speaker 17: bit of pushback on.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: We'll talk about it all right. We got front page
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: news next, and don't go anywhere. It's to breakfast Club.
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: Good morning, morning everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarious, Charlamagne
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: the guy we are the breakfast Club.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Let's get in some front page news. What's uping to me?
• 27:12
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Envy, Jess, Charlamagne. How y'a doing this morning?
• 27:16
  Speaker 7: Good morning?
• 27:17
  Speaker 9: So we start this hour at Penn State University where
• 27:20
  Speaker 9: authorities say a fraternity drug operation was selling cocaine to students.
• 27:25
  Speaker 9: Now fourteen people are now facing charges. Thirteen where Penn
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: State students, while investigators say this case was going on
• 27:33
  Speaker 9: for at least four are still students. Authorities say the
• 27:37
  Speaker 9: men supply the cocaine, other students allegedly sold it, packaged it,
• 27:41
  Speaker 9: and cut it.
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: So let's listen to Attorney General Dave Sunday.
• 27:46
  Speaker 18: What we learned during this investigation was at between twenty
• 27:49
  Speaker 18: twenty three and twenty twenty four, large amounts of cocaine
• 27:53
  Speaker 18: kilos were brought from Philadelphia and New York to State College,
• 27:57
  Speaker 18: where they were cut and packaged for sale primarily to
• 28:01
  Speaker 18: Penn State students. The two main deal dealers were senior
• 28:05
  Speaker 18: members of the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Kai fraternities. The
• 28:10
  Speaker 18: evidence showed that cocaine was primarily packaged at the fraternity houses,
• 28:15
  Speaker 18: and that packaging was done by fraternity brothers and oftentime pledges.
• 28:21
  Speaker 18: In fact, we found a pattern of events that showed
• 28:24
  Speaker 18: cutting and bagging cocaine was for some pledges and indoctrination
• 28:30
  Speaker 18: into the Delta Upsilon and Sigma Chi fraternities.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: That's a very interesting way to hate me, and actually
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: very innovative.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Instead of doing something crazy like paddling you, you know,
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: putting the banana in the toilet and blindfolding you and
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: making you.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Squish on it, they had the bagging up.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: They say, when I heard it on the news, this
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: one because I heard the story. They said that the
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: people doing it weren't students, so I guess they made
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: maybe exgraduates, but they weren't actual students.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Said they would say, now they.
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: Were, they were, so they were.
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: They've been doing this since twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four.
• 29:07
  Speaker 9: There are only four who are currently students right now.
• 29:10
  Speaker 9: The people that have been arrested. They were they've been
• 29:13
  Speaker 9: doing this for so long that they've graduated, so now
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: they have people who come back. But the people who
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: have been arrested, I believe Envy were still students.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Oh it's still students.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Watching way too much power, That's what I'm saying. And
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: I can't wait till they stitch on the plug. Oh
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: my god.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 9: So investigators though they said this wasn't like your normal
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: street dealing. The cocaine was allegedly sold friend of friend,
• 29:35
  Speaker 9: fraternity brother to fraternity brother at social events social fraternity houses.
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: Four The defendants are facing some of the serious charges,
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: including felony, conspiracy and corruption and organized crime charges. Others
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: are facing like possession paraphernalia charges. Investigators say they eventually
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: how they broke this case was they use a confidential
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: informant who bought cocaine six times from a f tternity house.
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: The fourteenth Yeah, the fourteenth person.
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: Though, you guys get this is the father of one
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: of the students.
• 30:07
  Speaker 9: Authorities are accusing him of trying to hide evidence and
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: interfere with the investigation to kind of help save hist son.
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: Now Penn State, they release a statement saying in part
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: that they are horrified by these allegations.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing. I don't like how sophisticated
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: they're making this sound either. Because this was the HBCU,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: they'd be talking like this was the mafia. They'd be
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: reco charges for everybody. Yes, okay, they'd be talking like
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: these folks with a second coming to BMF for something.
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: Yep, very true, very true.
• 30:34
  Speaker 9: So we'll continue to watch that one, and shopping for
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: the cheapest flight could soon get a lot more confusing.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: So right now, airlines have to show you the full
• 30:42
  Speaker 9: ticket price up front, including mandatory fees and taxes. But
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: the Transportation Department is proposing a new role that will
• 30:50
  Speaker 9: let airlines lead with a lower face bear and show
• 30:54
  Speaker 9: you the total price somewhere else. And the difference can
• 30:56
  Speaker 9: be really, really huge. So the La Times they found
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: a Jet Blue flight from Los Angeles to London with
• 31:02
  Speaker 9: a base fare of twenty one dollars, and that sounds
• 31:05
  Speaker 9: like a deal until you add the three hundred and twenty.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: Eight dollars in taxes and fees, so that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Twenty one dollar flight it becomes a three hundred and
• 31:13
  Speaker 9: forty nine dollars flight. And that's of course before check bag,
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: seat selection and all those sort of things. So the
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: Department of Transportation says its current rules are too rigid
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: and it needs more flexibility, and then they want to
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: change it. So bottom line, if this proposal does become final,
• 31:29
  Speaker 9: you'll want to not shot by the first number you see.
• 31:32
  Speaker 9: You want to look at that total fare because that
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: will be what the actual flight actually cost.
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: So lady can check the flights regardless that. If Trump
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: need to do something, that's what he needs to regulate.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Because them flights are expensive and I keep seeing it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: I keep traveling, and I'm traveling not that far at
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: our flight to hour flight to Virginia or Detroit. And
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: when you see eight nine hundred dollars for a flight,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: there's no way anybody can afford that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you what time of day you look, because
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: yesterday I looked for a flight for somebody else actually,
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't expensive.
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: At all.
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: In New York.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: Wasn't expensive.
• 32:05
  Speaker 11: No, it was like.
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: I was trying to fly to Detroit and it was
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and fifty eight.
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Class.
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: No, it wasn't first class.
• 32:13
  Speaker 13: It was.
• 32:15
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but it depends on what I say. You book
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: at the time that you're leaving in the city and
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: state that you're into.
• 32:21
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and going back to what you just said, I mean,
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: I think they're trying to get rid of that sticker shock.
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: So they want to show you a cheaper price first, get.
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: You locked in, and then when you get to that
• 32:29
  Speaker 9: final you know, you filled out everything, and then you
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: see that final price, then they want you to just
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: go ahead and book it because you went through.
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: You can still press canceled.
• 32:38
  Speaker 9: You can still press but you know it doesn't this
• 32:41
  Speaker 9: This doesn't make a lot of sense, because you're right,
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: you can still press cancel, but so why change the
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: final price.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: You're still going to see the final price just at.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: The end, and if I ain't got it, I ain't
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: got it to win the full title, the full total, it.
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: Makes make it make sense, right, I have no problem
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: walking away from a number I don't like. I don't care.
• 33:00
  Speaker 9: Well, they're hoping, I think they said that, they're hoping that,
• 33:03
  Speaker 9: you know, once you do all that, you'll you'll kind
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: of be locked in.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: So we'll see if that goes through.
• 33:10
  Speaker 9: And we've talked a lot about splitting things fifty to fifty,
• 33:12
  Speaker 9: but a new study shows just how differently moms and
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: dads see the workload at home. So let's say you
• 33:18
  Speaker 9: both worked eight hours, you come home tired. So who's
• 33:20
  Speaker 9: making dinner, who's helping with homework, who's doing laundry, who's
• 33:23
  Speaker 9: getting the kids ready for bed?
• 33:25
  Speaker 13: Well?
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: According to a new Pew Research study, moms say it's
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: still mostly them. Among families where both parents work full time,
• 33:33
  Speaker 9: sixty three percent of moms say they do more the
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: parenting and the household responsibilities. Dads, however, are much more
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: likely to say things are split equally. And so while
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: nearly half of dad say they are very satisfied with
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: the arrangement, only about a quarter of moms say the same.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: So the question on.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: Social media is, after everybody gets after everybody gets home
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: from work, who starts the second shift?
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: Is it usually moms? Or is it dad's I'm gonna
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: go with moms.
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: It mad?
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: It depends on what you consider the second.
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: Shift is right putting the kids down for bad, starting dinner.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: Like my homewowner, I might get the kids ready for bed,
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: I take the trash out. Gia might do this like
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: it's like we both divide what has to be done?
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, when I am home in Maryland, I do it
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: because I want to. But you know, my mother in
• 34:24
  Speaker 8: law or my husband or you know what I mean,
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: sometimes don't.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: Everybody is always on homework, So I do this. I
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: might pick up the girls from the school and she
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: might do home. Like if we divide duties.
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I don't think it should be a shift thing.
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: But you know, I'm definitely one of those husbands who
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: act like they doing something else when all of that's
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: going on, you know what I mean. And then by
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: the time it's all over, I come in and get
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: everybody a hugging kids say there.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean. Definitely don't do the homework
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: lashing up. I gotta do something. I'm too dumb for homework.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: Homework dad, talk to your college educated mother, talk to
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: you about quit your grandmother.
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: But you know, when it comes to all of that
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: taking baths and all, I gotta take a bath too.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I gotta get ready for bed. I gotta get up early.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: Wanted to you found okay, but it shouldn't be a ship.
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: If my wife tell me, hey, all right, you go
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: handle that, I'm gonna go handle it. It's not something
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: I volunteered.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Dude, you gotta be and I always forget something. Did
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: you put lotion on the baby back?
• 35:15
  Speaker 19: Now?

  Speaker 2: Come, inyon, I always forget going to sleep. I always forget,
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: so sleep always.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: Because you sleep better when you moisturize.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Y'all know, make sure you wash, brush your teeth, say.
• 35:25
  Speaker 8: Pray, don't go to sleep ashy.
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: Depends how I feel, It really does. Depends on. Sometimes
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I feel like putting on. Sometimes I don't.

  Speaker 7: Yes, okay, Howard University.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Talk that talk now.
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: We were asking, now you have a song, would you
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: want your son to follow in your footsteps and go to.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Howard as well?
• 37:19
  Speaker 9: Absolutely? And he fights me on it. We have this
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: conversation all the time. He fights me every single time.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: He doesn't want to go.
• 37:24
  Speaker 9: He wants to go to just you know, uh USC
• 37:28
  Speaker 9: or something like that. But I think he needs an
• 37:30
  Speaker 9: HBCU experience, especially growing up in California.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I do.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: But what do you think? Why do you think he
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: needs it? What is he missing?
• 37:37
  Speaker 9: You believe he's missing culture? Yes, exactly, you know he
• 37:44
  Speaker 9: you know, even me. That's why I went to an
• 37:46
  Speaker 9: HBCU because I grew up in Alaska and I was
• 37:48
  Speaker 9: missing culture. When I got to Howard, I have missed
• 37:50
  Speaker 9: out on a bunch of movies that people knew about.
• 37:52
  Speaker 9: I had to sit down and have lessons.
• 37:53
  Speaker 8: On didn't know how to watch, you didn't know how.
• 37:57
  Speaker 9: I did not know how to do anything. But I
• 38:00
  Speaker 9: learned that at eighteen, so I'm trying to help him
• 38:03
  Speaker 9: learn it now. But I think he needs community to
• 38:05
  Speaker 9: help him learn that as well. And so I think
• 38:07
  Speaker 9: he'll do that at an HBC here.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: But don't kids have to forge their own path? Like
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, your your son, your son doesn't even want
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: to do what you wanted to do. Me me, like,
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: your son wants to do what do you want to?
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Want to be an astronaut or something? Right, afro physicist.
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: So it's like you can still find community with other
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: afro physicists at whatever the.
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: Whatever school, one or two of those.
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: But you know, so he might not know, he might
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: not know what he by going it like for me, right,
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: I didn't care. Right, I was the first person in
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: my family go to college. I didn't care what college
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: my mom wanted me to go to. More Hampton was closed.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm going to Hampton's.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: That's what it was for me.
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: I wanted Madison to go to an HBCU. But Madison,
• 38:51
  Speaker 4: like I wanted her to experience what Hampton was about.
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: She wanted to go to n YU. Right, it's an
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: elite school, but there's no campus. I want her to
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: have that campus. Like same thing with Logan, but Logan
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: played football and he was like that I got a
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: chance to play at University of Miami, you know, which
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: is a huge school, or go to hampt University and play.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Football, and for him it was sports. You know what
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: I mean?
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: Hopefully when of my kids go, I got four more,
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: but I want them to experience what college life is
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: at a black school.
• 39:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, like what you said mean like that's what you want.
• 39:21
  Speaker 8: Like you said, mama knows best. And also your kids
• 39:24
  Speaker 8: don't know what they want, and sometimes you gotta steer that.
• 39:27
  Speaker 8: You gotta guide them because I'm pretty sure you don't
• 39:29
  Speaker 8: want to skateboarding with the vans on like you normally, dude,
• 39:32
  Speaker 8: like you want him they can do that, but you
• 39:35
  Speaker 8: still want to be able to go watch Love Jones.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: You know what what just is saying is true. Sometimes
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: kids don't know what they want.
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: But what about when they do, when their instinct and
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: their intuition in God is telling them, Hey, this is
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: where I want you to go.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: If it's not at an HBCU, cool, I get it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: I understand what the parents want, but you still got
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: to let the kids want me at HBCU.
• 39:57
  Speaker 8: She wanted me to go to NYU, like she wanted
• 39:59
  Speaker 8: me in a big city.
• 40:00
  Speaker 11: All of that.
• 40:01
  Speaker 17: She didn't understand why I wanted to stand Delaware, even
• 40:03
  Speaker 17: though they were giving you money to go to the
• 40:04
  Speaker 17: school she didn't want.
• 40:05
  Speaker 8: She wanted the complete opposite.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: Of what I did. I'm glad you went to HBCU
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: and that n y U.
• 40:09
  Speaker 8: I don't know if I would have finished college.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: If I finish college, I would have figured out because
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: is New York City. Yeah, events, you would have been everywhere.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: So but I'm glad you said. I just want to say,
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: this is bigger than college.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: The reason I think you should just let kids forge
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: their own path is because all of us in this
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: room probably wouldn't be here if we did what our
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: parents wanted us to do. I'm sure your parents didn't
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: want you to be a DJ. The didn't even understand
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: what the hell. I'm sure your parents didn't want you
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: to be as a professional media.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: What does that mean?
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: You mean you're gonna be a comedian like they want
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: you to go? Get up, go to school, get a
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: nice job, working a day.
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: Not your path. That's not your path.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: But if it wasn't for my parents, I wouldn't went
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: to a HBCU, you know what I'm saying. I probably
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: would have went to Saint John's University or Sunni School
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: or Aquity School that was way cheaper. My parents dream
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: was to go to HBCU and they couldn't, so they
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: pretty much forced me to go to an HBCU.
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: And then watching a Different World was like, I I'm
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: gonna try.
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: That cause you get a scholarship because you're not black,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: like they like foreign exchange.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: No, I did not, and I am black. I actually
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: got a scholarship with VSU and of Virginia un I.
• 41:18
  Speaker 8: Wanted to go to Virginia State because College Hill was
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: fim there.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wanted I got, but I wanted to go
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: to Hampton So.
• 41:25
  Speaker 8: And first of all, my parents never say they didn't
• 41:28
  Speaker 8: want me to go to college. You didn't want me
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: to be a comedian. So she was grown. She went
• 41:34
  Speaker 8: to a hbc when she got grown. My dad went
• 41:36
  Speaker 8: straight to the military. And when I told them what
• 41:38
  Speaker 8: I wanted to do, they was like, all right, cool.
• 41:40
  Speaker 8: They never say, you know, you need to be a doctor,
• 41:41
  Speaker 8: you need to go to school, you need to be
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: a lawyer. My mother was just like, you're not gonna
• 41:44
  Speaker 8: lay around my house and I do anything. So you're
• 41:46
  Speaker 8: gonna get a job, but you need to figure out
• 41:48
  Speaker 8: what you want to do with your life.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: Like that's what it was.
• 41:50
  Speaker 8: And that's when I said, all right, cool, I'm gonna
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: be funny. I said that they always supported me from
• 41:54
  Speaker 8: the jo. Only one who didn't support me was gonna
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: be father.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Shout the room.
• 42:08
  Speaker 19: I'm good.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: I'm good.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: To go high school or be a part of the
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: fraternity of the sorority. You in what sorority that you in?
• 42:15
  Speaker 20: Most definitely I am a part of or I'm a
• 42:19
  Speaker 20: member excuse me, of the Delta Sigma Staya Sorority Incorporated.
• 42:23
  Speaker 20: So of course I want him to, you know, be
• 42:26
  Speaker 20: in the fraternity as well as my daughter. I want
• 42:28
  Speaker 20: her to be a legacy as well. I actually just
• 42:31
  Speaker 20: graduated from Houston Tellnesse University, which is an HBC you
• 42:35
  Speaker 20: down here in Austin, and I actually dropped off my
• 42:39
  Speaker 20: son on Sunday to HD to start us, you know,
• 42:43
  Speaker 20: the process, because he's a legacy there now too. And
• 42:47
  Speaker 20: my mom she went to HD as well, so you know,
• 42:51
  Speaker 20: we we continue in the legacy here on this side.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: Why does you know Charlomagne ask why does it matter
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: so much?
• 42:56
  Speaker 13: So?
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Why does it matter that your kids go to an
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: hbc you say that, you know, not saying anything like that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: I don't think it matters.
• 43:06
  Speaker 20: I mean, I'm just that awesome, you know it's it's
• 43:10
  Speaker 20: awesome that they want to continue your footsteps.
• 43:12
  Speaker 8: I think the legacy part of it. We don't let kids,
• 43:18
  Speaker 8: you know, family.
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: All I said is let kids forge their own path.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: I understand completely why you want your child to go
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: to an HBCU. If you went to an hbc U.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: I under think completely why you would want you chid
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: to pledge if you pledged.
• 43:31
  Speaker 8: But no, I don't.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: I did not say that's the sentiment. I got what
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: he said it because you you for nothing. You can't
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: use that I can tell you, you know cool, you
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: you can't use that comprehension skills what you can't use
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: that word. There's people out there, just stop you, right
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: eight hundred and five and five one O five one.
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: If you're just joining us, we're asking are your do.
• 43:55
  Speaker 8: They have special egg places in college?
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: Did you go to.
• 44:00
  Speaker 8: Maybe I wasn't even comin. I just didn't have like
• 44:04
  Speaker 8: a different look at me when you had a specialleg
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: college because you went. I didn't go, Charlotte didn't go.
• 44:10
  Speaker 8: You don't have special agg closes in college, not that
• 44:12
  Speaker 8: I knew, all right, that's what I'm saying.
• 44:14
  Speaker 9: Like now that I know, they high classes like lower
• 44:16
  Speaker 9: tier classes, right, so you may not be in math
• 44:18
  Speaker 9: five hundred, you may be in math two fifty.
• 44:21
  Speaker 7: You know what I mean?
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: They didn't have that Hampton. Maybe just at Howard. Hello,
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: who's this?
• 44:25
  Speaker 6: Hello?
• 44:27
  Speaker 19: Good morning?
• 44:28
  Speaker 15: I had follow you. I don't want to hear me
• 44:30
  Speaker 15: swallow my out vitamins. I'm sorry. Good morning, how y'all.
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: Doing good morning.
• 44:36
  Speaker 15: So I wanted to talk about the ACCU, the legacy. Basically,
• 44:41
  Speaker 15: I grew up in Atlanta, and I went to the
• 44:44
  Speaker 15: public schools in Atlanta, and so I went to a
• 44:46
  Speaker 15: p w Y. My kids, however, grew up here in Yorktown, Virginia.
• 44:51
  Speaker 15: They went to a p w Y high school and
• 44:53
  Speaker 15: they were like, oh, we're going to ABCU. So I
• 44:56
  Speaker 15: wanted to North of State and I got one at
• 44:57
  Speaker 15: Howard right now, Yeah, it's interesting. While I can say
• 45:02
  Speaker 15: I did not want them to have the same high
• 45:05
  Speaker 15: school experience with me, and unfortunately that caused them to
• 45:09
  Speaker 15: go to an HBCU and they don't really like an
• 45:13
  Speaker 15: ACCU experience and it's because of the administration. But I
• 45:18
  Speaker 15: was like, hey, just go and play, so I can
• 45:21
  Speaker 15: play too.
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: But what about the administration? They don't like what is it?
• 45:25
  Speaker 15: They don't like how the financial aid offices handle the business.
• 45:29
  Speaker 15: They don't like how the Bursar's office handle the business.
• 45:32
  Speaker 15: Like it's very limited information. It literally is the ACCU
• 45:37
  Speaker 15: is the fraternity, Like they say, oh, you're the birthday,
• 45:40
  Speaker 15: the ACCU are the fraternity. So you have to know
• 45:44
  Speaker 15: somebody to know somebody. Like my oldest daughter who's at.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: Norfolk State, she had to get in good with one sorority.
• 45:50
  Speaker 15: That's a certain color that me me don't wear in
• 45:55
  Speaker 15: order to get a scholarship, right, in order to get
• 45:58
  Speaker 15: a scholarship. But my youngest had to get in good
• 46:01
  Speaker 15: were the third garity that MENI does wear in order
• 46:04
  Speaker 15: to get good. So it's like, yeah, it's kind of
• 46:07
  Speaker 15: like you gotta know somebody to know somebody. And they
• 46:10
  Speaker 15: weren't familiar with that culture because they went to a
• 46:14
  Speaker 15: very god first high school and they were their diversity
• 46:18
  Speaker 15: at the high school. So yeah, they they liked the experience,
• 46:24
  Speaker 15: but I was not. I was not agreeable to paying
• 46:29
  Speaker 15: for an experience. I'm like, you need to go for school,
• 46:32
  Speaker 15: not for an experience. So they literally experienced at a
• 46:36
  Speaker 15: very extensive call.
• 46:38
  Speaker 17: Friends like that though that their parents was like, you
• 46:40
  Speaker 17: can go wherever, but if you don't go here, I'm
• 46:42
  Speaker 17: not paying for it.
• 46:43
  Speaker 6: No.
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: But you know what she said is like when your
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: kid goes to I'm sure you're saying your kids with
• 46:48
  Speaker 4: the white high schools. Correct, Yes, they did, yes, right,
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: and they and going to a white high school, especially
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: if you have a daughter. I think a lot of
• 46:54
  Speaker 4: times your black daughter is not treated the way that
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: she should be because she goes to the white school.
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: She's not I love respected, She's not a priority.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: So that was the main reason I wanted my mars.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: Treated like a spectacle. She's like like they can't, but
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: they're like, oh my god, look at you so beautiful.
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: That's the reason I wanted her to go to HBCU,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: so they have more of the people that look like them,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: you know, the guys that were kicking it to them
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: opposed to you know, these white boys that probably can't
• 47:23
  Speaker 4: bring a black girl home.
• 47:24
  Speaker 17: You know, whatever, the way you think about yourself as
• 47:27
  Speaker 17: a black person, but as a black like one hundred
• 47:29
  Speaker 17: percent you. It felt like that, like the first week
• 47:32
  Speaker 17: you walk on campus and you see all those other
• 47:34
  Speaker 17: black kids.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: That's when you got into your fashion.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: You know, the fashion was born into it.
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: You know me? You know what I mean?
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: State is known for like the pretty girls and the
• 47:45
  Speaker 8: parties in the fashion.
• 47:51
  Speaker 13: People.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 47:55
  Speaker 8: Right now.
• 47:57
  Speaker 17: List we're like top twenty HBCUs on the Forbes list,
• 47:59
  Speaker 17: so we know me. All the other things matter too,
• 48:01
  Speaker 17: but the fashion, the party, that was a thing.
• 48:04
  Speaker 7: Nobody go to the party, Lauren, I'm trying to walk.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: About the fashion.
• 48:18
  Speaker 8: Fashion, okay, giving the looks?
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: What about the fashion? Hello? Hey, hello, more than everybody. Hey,
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: what's your name?
• 48:31
  Speaker 14: My name is Tolanda. I'm from Chicago. My first time
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: calling in, but I live in New Orleans now. My
• 48:38
  Speaker 14: experience it was a little different. Both of my parents
• 48:42
  Speaker 14: and about seventy percent of my family went to Southern
• 48:45
  Speaker 14: University in Baton Rouge. I had relatives who worked there.
• 48:49
  Speaker 14: That was the dean of that was the assistant being
• 48:52
  Speaker 14: of the cousins that were going there, and I grew
• 48:56
  Speaker 14: up with both of my parents being teachers and I
• 48:59
  Speaker 14: didn't have my own idea identity in Chicago, so I
• 49:03
  Speaker 14: wanted to go somewhere where nobody knew my parents I
• 49:06
  Speaker 14: could have my own identity. Graduated eleventh in my class,
• 49:10
  Speaker 14: got accepted to almost every school for real. Didn't want
• 49:14
  Speaker 14: to go to a white school. God accepted to Spellman.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: Was going to go there.
• 49:18
  Speaker 14: Grambling was the only.
• 49:19
  Speaker 15: School that rejected me.
• 49:22
  Speaker 14: And I was like, damn, this school must be Hella.
• 49:24
  Speaker 14: I got to get in this school like I got
• 49:26
  Speaker 14: into Penn State, I got into Temple, I got into Syracuse.
• 49:31
  Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying, like Stamford. This school gotta
• 49:35
  Speaker 14: be Hella. And that's what I decided to do. I
• 49:37
  Speaker 14: went to Grambler, come to find out later, once I
• 49:39
  Speaker 14: got on campus because it was so easy to go
• 49:42
  Speaker 14: through and get everything taken care of. My counselor, who
• 49:45
  Speaker 14: was white, didn't want me to go to an HBCU
• 49:48
  Speaker 14: because he felt that an HBCU was beneath me, and
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: he wanted me to go to Notre Dame, which was
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: his alma mada. But I wouldn't change my experience for anything.
• 50:00
  Speaker 14: Gsu Graham famis for life. There's nothing about Grammlin and
• 50:04
  Speaker 14: I'm gonna say that's bad. I try to push kids
• 50:07
  Speaker 14: to go there. I used to do college tours HBCU
• 50:11
  Speaker 14: College Tours in Northwest Indiana for eighteen years, and I
• 50:16
  Speaker 14: would take those kids every year, either the East Coast
• 50:20
  Speaker 14: or the South, and then we'd all end up at
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: Disney World or Universal Studios so that they could experience,
• 50:26
  Speaker 14: you know, or see that there are other schools out
• 50:28
  Speaker 14: there other than the Notre Dames, the Produce, the Illinois States,
• 50:33
  Speaker 14: all of that that they could attend with people look
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: just like them. I would never change that for the world. Now,
• 50:40
  Speaker 14: my sisters didn't do what my parents wanted because she said, well,
• 50:42
  Speaker 14: if she didn't have to go to southern why do
• 50:45
  Speaker 14: I got to go. She went to Jackson State and
• 50:48
  Speaker 14: my parents loved all of it because we were there
• 50:50
  Speaker 14: with HBCUs. Now, my mom's a Delta and I didn't
• 50:53
  Speaker 14: get the pledge while I was undergrad, but I definitely
• 50:56
  Speaker 14: pledged grad level and I'm adulta all day long.
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: We thank you for sharing your story. We appreciate you all.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: I love you, Love you to baby. Were pink and green?
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah, always see the pink in the background, the green always?
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: Oh wait, what are you. You don't play with her,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: she might fight.
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: You said, no, I'm an alpha Kappa Alpha.
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna play with you.
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: If it's wrong.
• 51:32
  Speaker 13: She was trying a.
• 51:36
  Speaker 21: A K.
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: You know, not that infil know what happened. I've been
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: said that I did not know.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Let me something, man. One of my favorite things do
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: in the world, to be the a K and be like,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: oh you are Aida.
• 51:52

  Speaker 3: No, I think that you well, that's a good point too.
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: I just think you should let kids forward their own path,
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: you know what I mean? Like, I don't think you
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: should force anything on kids, like you should let them
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: use their natural intuition and let God, God THEMN to where.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: It is they need to be. But sometimes, you know
• 52:46

  Speaker 3: Aaron Galler's biscuits just had a hair in her biscuits,
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: so she wanted something else.
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: I think it was her own.
• 54:18
  Speaker 8: But yeah, right, that's strength too long to be mine.
• 54:21
  Speaker 8: And it's all right, y'all.
• 54:27
  Speaker 17: So Young Thug, You guys know that Young Thug has
• 54:29
  Speaker 17: been doing a lot of community service work talking to
• 54:32
  Speaker 17: the kids.
• 54:32
  Speaker 8: He's been doing music things with the community as well too.
• 54:35
  Speaker 17: So he was at a school called Serious Charter Academy
• 54:39
  Speaker 17: in Macon, Georgia, and he popped in to speak to
• 54:43
  Speaker 17: some students and his message to the students is getting
• 54:46
  Speaker 17: a little pushback.
• 54:46
  Speaker 8: Let's take a listen.
• 54:47
  Speaker 5: If you you're almost as important as the richest person
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: in the world, so fain it's like more so like
• 54:55
  Speaker 5: the money for us is.
• 54:56
  Speaker 24: Really the most important. It's very important. You got to
• 54:58
  Speaker 24: you gotta keep up with you. Always make sure they
• 55:00
  Speaker 24: need it.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Leads to the right, leads you to the right.
• 55:03
  Speaker 25: Move to move, Gotta move totally different, got to move.
• 55:06
  Speaker 25: Militis so many, so many.
• 55:08
  Speaker 21: Things people don't know that famous like very important, definite
• 55:11
  Speaker 21: move to be because you end up in like situations.
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I've ended up in situations. I understand what
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: he's saying. But nobody should aspire to be famous.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: You know what you should aspire to do it just
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: be great, right, Like you know, I see doctors nowadays,
• 55:25
  Speaker 3: I see attorneys, I see you know, therapists. They're on
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: social media and they have Instagram pages and they have
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: YouTube pages, but they're actually good at what they do,
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: at what they do, and they're using those platforms to
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: amplify their work. So I guess they're I hate that
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: word famous, but I guess they are quote unquote famous,
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: but it's bringing attention to what it is they actually do.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but some people want to just be famous, that's
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: what they think. Fame is what pays. But if you
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: look at any industry rather it's Kai right. Kai didn't
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: start up being famous. Kai is a great stream and
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: because of that that made them famously. Yes, I think
• 55:58
  Speaker 4: most people don't get that.
• 55:59
  Speaker 17: But think about how we talk about how Ky sinat
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: right has established all these numbers, all this platform, but
• 56:05
  Speaker 17: he knows what to do with and even though he's
• 56:06
  Speaker 17: just having a good time.
• 56:07
  Speaker 8: He knows what to do.
• 56:08
  Speaker 17: But you got other people on streaming it out here.
• 56:10
  Speaker 17: I mean they risking it all for the stream. So
• 56:13
  Speaker 17: I think it's him trying to teach people. And again
• 56:15
  Speaker 17: we don't know the question that was asking him or
• 56:16
  Speaker 17: that was just something he volunteered too. But I think
• 56:19
  Speaker 17: he's trying to let them know, like, Yo, this could
• 56:21
  Speaker 17: happen for you and if so, it could change your life,
• 56:23
  Speaker 17: but you got to know what to do with it.
• 56:24
  Speaker 8: And I said, I said, it's making Georgia. I said,
• 56:26
  Speaker 8: I want to correct that.
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, And you know, I guess when you have a
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: certain level of fame, it does provide you a different
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: level of access, right, That's why you know, once again,
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: I see so many actual professionals who do who do
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: great work in their field on social media, using YouTube
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: and stuff to amplify what it is that they're doing,
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: and they're becoming I guess.
• 56:46
  Speaker 8: Famous, famous, famous.
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: I guess I hate the word because I don't want
• 56:51
  Speaker 3: to tell kids that go be famine, Like what does
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: that even mean?
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: But it's also you know, when you do things like
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: you said, so good, it makes you famous, right, like
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: you look it could be anything like, look at me
• 57:00
  Speaker 4: a Mallory.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Right to a Mai.
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: She's an activist, yes right back in it that you
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: really didn't hear much about activists.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: But she's doing such an amazing job. It's made her famous. Man,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: look at top Dog Laws Law. We don't know his
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: face because I don't know who he is.
• 57:14
  Speaker 8: I know, I know he do commercials. Now he gets
• 57:16
  Speaker 8: out of his car in the commercial.
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: I know two things about Top Dog Law. They've won
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: over a billion dollars in cases. But that's only because
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: they've bought so much attention to what it is that
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: they do. When I hear the commercials, I pay attention.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: Would you consider that famous? I don't know, But you
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: know what I want to hear. I want to hear
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: the people that actually got money or the cases. You
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: know what I mean, you're not used to like you
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: know what, I went to top Doug lun I hired
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: him and I got my mom.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: No one's gonna tell you that because that family gonna
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: be what they know you just wanted.
• 57:41
  Speaker 24: This was money.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Now they're gonna ask you for money.
• 57:43
  Speaker 8: But you know, I don't think this is.
• 57:48
  Speaker 17: Especially why are But yeah, I mean he was getting
• 57:52
  Speaker 17: some pushback. I saw some people like, that's just not
• 57:54
  Speaker 17: the right message for kids. But I understand where he
• 57:57
  Speaker 17: was trying to understand.
• 57:58
  Speaker 8: He was trying to go to.
• 57:59
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 57:59
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's the wording, that's all.
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: It's not the right message for kids because you have
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: to add a lot of context to it. There was
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: a lot of context lost all these kids here is
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: I gotta be famous. I gotta be famous. I gotta
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: be famous. That's the problem with the world nowadays. Everybody
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: wants to be famous, but famous for what for what?
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 58:16
  Speaker 8: Nothing shifting gears.

• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Donkey to Day for Tuesday, August eighteenth
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: goes to one of the most confusing people in American politics,
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: Congressman Hakeem Jefferson. Well, actually he's not confusing. If you
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: follow the corporate pack money, then you know exactly why
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: Hakum moves the way he moves. Okay, it's a reason
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: they call him a pac shakor it's a reason they
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: call him a pac Rocky. But today we are here
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: to talk about APAC. We are here to discuss Medicare
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: for All. Okay, what is Medicare for All? It is
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: a proposed single pair national health insurance system for the US.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: It would expand and improve the current public Medicare program
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 3: to cover all US residents, replacing private health insurance companies
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: and eliminating out of could cost like premiums, co pays,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: indeductibles care.
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: A lot of data I've seen.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: Says around fifty to sixty percent of all Americans support
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: a national Medicare for all, our single payer healthcare system.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: But Hakim Jeffries is not one of those people. See
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: Hakim was on Meet the Press with Christen Welker, and
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: the House Minority Leader indicated that he does not currently
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: support Medicare for All Okay legislation, even though he co
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 3: sponsored similar bills from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty one.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: Let's go to meet the presford the report.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: Please, all right, let's move on.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 23: To Medicare for All. You co sponsored Medicare for All
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 23: legislation from twenty thirteen to twenty twenty one, You've not
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 23: co sponsored it since you became Democratic leader. Will you
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 23: put Medicare for All up for a vote if you
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 23: become speaker?
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 26: Well, listen, these are all conversations that the House Democratic
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 26: Caucus is going to have to have.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 26: We're focused on November third, not January third. What we
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 26: are promising the American people is that we're going to
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 26: fight to make healthcare affordable for every single American. I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 26: know there's a lot of damage that Republicans have done
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 26: that we've got to restore and repair. For instance, Republicans
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 26: have enacted the largest cut to Medicaid in American history.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 26: More than a trillion dollars or so has been cut
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 26: from Medicaid. And what you're going to have is about
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 26: fourteen million Americans lose access to healthcare.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 8: Do you personally support Medicare for all?
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 23: Do you personally support Medicare for All?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 26: No, as you indicate it, I haven't co sponsored the
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 26: Medicare for All legislation that has been introduced over the
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 26: last several years. I do think we need to figure
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 26: out how to fix our broken health care system and
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 26: then build something better once we repair the damage that
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 26: has been done now. That will include doing things like
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 26: extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits so that more
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 26: than twenty million people who have seen their health insurance
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 26: premium skyrocket in some cases by up to one thousand
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 26: dollars a month. That's not sustainable, and that's something that
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 26: Donald Trump and Republicans have visited upon the American people.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 23: Just be very clear, though, as a Democratic leader in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 23: the House, would you vote for or against Medicare for All?
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 26: I think, as you've indicated in your question to me,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 26: it's not legislation that I currently am co sponsoring or
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 26: that I support. Okay, but we do support the notion
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 26: that we've got to find a path forward to fix
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 26: our broken healthcare system and make health care affordable for
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 26: every single American pathetic.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: Some Democrats don't want to win, and it's about time
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: folks stop pretending that they do. Okay, now, listen, I
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 3: want to be clear, Hakim Jeffrees is not getting donkey
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: of today because he doesn't support Medicare for All. You
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: are allowed to not support Medicare for All. You can
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: believe in a public option. You can believe in scrimphening Obamacare.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: You can believe in expanding Medicare and Medicaid. You can
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: believe there's another way to get every American affordable health care.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 2: That's called having a policy position.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: But what Hakim did on Meet the Press illustrates one
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: of the biggest problems Democrats have right now, and it's
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: one of the things that pisses me off the most
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: about the Democratic Party. They will tell people what they're
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: against without giving them something equally clear that they're for. Okay,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: we will come back to that, But I have a
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: question for Hakim Jeffries in regard to the Medicare for All.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Simply what changed? Okay, right, Hakim?
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: In September twenty nineteen, you became a co sponsor of
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: the Medicare for All Act. Then in twenty twenty one. Hakim,
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 3: you know you wasn't just somebody who eventually jumped onto
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: Medicare for All. No, you was an original co sponsor
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: of the Medicare for All Act of twenty twenty one meeting.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: When that bill was introduced, your name was already on it.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: Now fast forward to twenty twenty six, Hakim Jeffries, as
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: you just heard, goes on meet the Press and says
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: Medicare for All is not legislation that he currently co sponsors.
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: Our supports.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: Once again, what changed? What did you learn between twenty
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: twenty one and now that changed your mind? Did the
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: economics change? Did you discover something about Medicare for All
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 3: that you didn't you know when you co sponsored it.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: Did America's healthcare system suddenly get better? We know the
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: answer to that. Did premiums get so cheap that I
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: missed the announcement? Did deductibles disappear? Did prescription drugs become free?
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Did medical debt go away? The insurance companies stopped the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: nine claims? Because if any of that happened, we all
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: missed it.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 3: And by the way, politicians are absolutely allowed to change
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: their minds. Okay, we should actually encourage people. People to
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 3: change their minds when they get new information. Growth requires
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 3: changing your mind sometimes, Wisdom requires changing your mind sometimes.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: But when you're an elected official and you change your
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: position on something this significant, the people deserve to know why,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: especially when the thing that changed the most dramatically during
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 3: that time appears to be your position. Okay, not your
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: policy position, your actual position. Because once again, in twenty
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: twenty one, Hakem you was a congressman from Brooklyn.
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: Remember that. Remember when you was a congressman from Brooklyn
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: and you was quoting Biggie and Jay appearing to be
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: down with the people.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: Today, you're the leader of the House Democrats okay, the
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: House Democratic Caucus, and could potentially become Speaker.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 2: Of the House.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: But you appear to be done with corporate America, not
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: the people. So I have to ask did your beliefs
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: change when your title changed? Because that's what people hate
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: about politics. Okay, It's not disagreement, all right, It's the
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: feeling that politicians believe one thing when they're trying to
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: move up, and another thing once they moved up. Okay,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: And Akim Jeffreys has repeatedly said healthcare is are.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: Right, all right? If healthcare is are right, how are
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: you gonna guarantee that? Right? That's all we want to know.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: Okay, because if medicare for all isn't the answer anymore,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: what's the answer. Don't just tell me what you don't support,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: tell me what you do support. How are Democrats gonna
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: make sure every American has health care? How are you
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: gonna lower premiums? How are you gonna load deductibles? How
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: are you gonna lower prescription drug prices? How are you
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: gonna stop families from being financially destroyed because somebody simply
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: got sick? What happens to the millions of Americans who
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: are uninsured are underinsured?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: What's the plan, my guy? Okay? Because this is another
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: problem Democrats have.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 3: You cannot spend all day telling America what Republicans are
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: doing going wrong, and never clearly articulate what you're going.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: To do right.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: Opposition is not an agenda, Resistance is not an agenda,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: where not them is not an agenda. And saying we
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 3: need to fix our broken healthcare system isn't a plan.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: And tell you to tell people how you're going to
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: fix the broken healthcare system. Regular people don't wake up
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 3: debating the finer points of single pair of health care. Okay,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: they wake up asking why am I paying hundreds of
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: dollars a month for insurance and still have a deductible
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 3: that's thollands of dollars?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: Why did my insurance company deny the procedure my doctor
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: said I need? Why does this prescription cost hundreds of
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: dollars that I don't have? Why am I afraid to
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: go to the er because I don't know what the
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 3: bill is going to look like? That's what people are
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: dealing with in real life, Hakim. So once again, Hakim,
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: I don't need you to support Medicare for all, but
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: I need you to explain why you supported Medicare for
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 3: all when you weren't the Democratic leader but Democratic Hakim.
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: Democratic leader Hakem Jeffries. Does it? Okay? What changed? All?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 11: Right? Was it?
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: The policy?
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 13: Was it?
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: The country? Are your position?
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: And I'm asking because leadership should make you know. Shouldn't
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: make your convictions harder to find. Leadership should make your
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 3: convictions clearer. Okay, If you believe Medicare for All was
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 3: a solution in twenty nineteen, and believe it enough to
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: become an original Cospontan in twenty twenty one, but you
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: don't believe it's the solution in twenty twenty six. You
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: have to tell us why, and more importantly, probably the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 3: most important, tell us what replaced it, because you can't
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: tell Americans healthcare is are right and then get vague
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: when they ask you how you're going to guarantee that right.
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: Rights require mechanisms, rights require policy, rights require somebody actually
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: fighting to make those rights real. And maybe that's the
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: lesson in all of this, all right, The easiest thing
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: for a politician to change is their position.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: When their position.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 3: Changes, when you're trying to climb the ladder, bold ideas
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: sound great, okay, and then you become responsible for protecting
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 3: suits and raising money and maintaining coalitions and potentially becoming speaker,
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: not to mention taking corporate back money, and suddenly those
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: bold ideas get a whole lot quiet on the creek.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: I understand the politics of that, but the American people
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 3: deserve more than politics. They deserve an explanation. So, Congressman Jeffries,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: you don't owe anyone your support for medicae for all.
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: What you owe the American people is an explanation for
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: why something worthy of your signature in twenty twenty one
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: isn't worthy of your support in twenty twenty six.
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: And until you.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: Explain that people have every right to wonder whether the
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: thing that changed was the policy or the politician. Please
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 3: give House Democratic Leader how King Jeffries the biggest he hull?
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: What the hell is that? You need to go see
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: somebody right now, Jesus Christ.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 8: That's a damn biscuit. Gods like a damn cat. The
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 8: guy has stuff that sounds.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: You're about to call up a frog.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 13: You know.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 3: One time I seed somebody put rootwork on someone and
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 3: they called up a whole frog.
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: Sounded just like that.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 8: It could be a hairball. You head.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: Right, thank you, thank you for that. Donkey of the day.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 4: Now when we come back, we were talking about young
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: Dog and the fact that he was talking to some kids.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 17: Yeah, break it down, talking to some kids at a
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 17: charter school down in Georgia and his message it was
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 17: about fame and how important it is, uh and got
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 17: some pushback for it.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 5: Let's listen, if you fers, you're almost as important as
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 5: the richest person in the world.
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 24: So fame is like more so like than money. For
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 24: us is really the most important. It's very important. You
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 24: got to you gotta keep up with it. You got
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 24: to always make sure it leads. It leads to the right,
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 24: leads you to the right.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 20: Moom.
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 25: You gotta know how to move, gotta move totally different.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 25: Got a new MILITI so many, so many things. People
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 25: don't know about fame. That's like very important move. You
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 25: don't know how to be because you ain't up in
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 25: like situations. You know, I ended up in Siplin.
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 4: All right, let's hope on up the phone lines. Let's
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 4: discuss eight hundred five eight five one oh five one.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: What do you think about what he said? He was
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: talking to a bunch of kids. He was talking about
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 4: fame not. The bad part about this is we didn't
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 4: get the full context.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 8: No, and I tried to find more video. I didn't
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 8: see more video because it sounds like he was.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 4: Saying fame could lead to having a bigger fortune. You
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 4: have to be responsible with it, you have to know
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: how to use it. That's what I think he was going.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 3: You can't just tell a room full of kids to
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 3: aspire to be famous, correct, because nowadays people will seek
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: fame by any means necessary.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: That's right, So let's.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: Discuss you want to man eight hundred and five five
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 4: five one, it's the Breakfast Level Morning.
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 20: If you're all.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 2: Talking about it, you know we talking about it.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: It's topic times called eight hundred five eight five one
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: five one to join into the discussion with the Breakfast
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: Club Morning.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: Everybody's DJ Envy just hilarious. Charlamagne the guy.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: We are the Breakfast Club law La roses here as
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 4: well if you're just joining us. During the latest sho
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 4: we reported that young Thug was talking to some kids,
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: and we'll break it down who he's talking to and
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: where it was.
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 17: Yeah, so he was talking to a group of students
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 17: in Georgia at a charter academy and they were really
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 17: excited to see him, but they got into a conversation
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 17: somehow about fame and some of his comments. You know,
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 17: people are pushing back on should he have been talking
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 17: to because these students they're young, like they're it's like
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 17: I think it's like maybe third fourth grade.
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 8: They're younger students, So people are trying to out they.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 17: Are, Yeah, these are these are kids like kids kids,
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 17: So people are trying to figure out why they were
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 17: having a conversation about fame and if it was the
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 17: right message about fame to these kids.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I didn't know they were that young.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 5: If you be fans, you're almost as important as the
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 5: richest person in the world.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: So fame is like more so like the money for us.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 24: So fan is really the most important. It's very important.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 24: You got to you gotta keep up with it. You
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 24: gotta always make sure you need it leads to the
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 24: right leads you to the right.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 20: Move.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 21: You gotta know how to move, gotta move totally different.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 21: You gotta move move to so many, so many things.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 21: People don't know that fame that's like very important that move.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 21: You got know how to be because you end up
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 21: in like situations. You know, I ended up in situation.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 4: We're asking eight hundred and five and five, what are
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: your thoughts with you just I mean, we've been saying
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: it all morning.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 8: You know, you just can't tell a kid, you know,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 8: fame is the most important thing. But I do think
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 8: it was his wording. I don't think he meant it
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 8: like you know a lot of people are taking it either.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 8: I just think that he's speaking from his experience and
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 8: what fame did for him. And then he's also telling him,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 8: if you're gonna be famous, this is the way to
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 8: do it because you have you can learn. Y'all can
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 8: learn as young as y'all are. From my mistakes, my
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 8: fame ended up landing me in certain situations that it
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 8: was hard to get out of, and I got negative ascension.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 8: And that's not necessarily the right thing to do when
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 8: you have a lot of eyes on you. But I mean,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 8: I understand the objective and the message he was trying
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 8: to convey, but it was just the words, just you know, Yeah.
• 1:14:42
  Speaker 2: I mean I agree with you. I mean I think
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: you should want to be good at your craft.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 4: When I started DJ and I just wanted to be
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 4: the best DJ. Ever, it wasn't about fame. I just
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: wanted to be the best, you know, I mean, whatever
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 4: it was. And you know, sometimes if you are good
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 4: at your craft, fame comes with it. But I don't
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: think you should aspire to be I think that might
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: be a false way of thinking.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 8: But the kids are.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 17: But if we're being honest, when you talk to a
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 17: lot of these kids that charter school, from what I
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 17: see online is K through fourth grade, you talk to
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 17: a lot of these young kids, they care about, the streamers,
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 17: the people on snapchat and TikTok right now, so you
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 17: got to get you got it. It's like it's like
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 17: almost meeting them where they are to explain a better
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 17: Like I think it makes sense to they meet them
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 17: where they're at and try to develop their thinking process
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 17: so it's not as like surface level.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: Well, you don't want to tell a room full of
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: kids something like that with no context, Like you can't
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: tell them to aspire to be famous because all these kids,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: to your point, Lauren, just want to be famous nowadays,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: but famous for what, no real gifts. And I think
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: America puts way too much emphasis on celebrity right Like,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 3: fame itself isn't important. Doing actual work is what's important.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: Doing work with real intention behind it is what's important.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: Every day I see professors on social media, lawyers, therapist, doctors,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: and they are using those platforms to raise awareness to
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 3: the good work they're doing and they become famous. And
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: that's been going on since the beginning of time. I'm
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: not gonna sit there like that wasn't a doctor Phil,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 3: There wasn't a doctor Oz. You know, there wasn't a
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: doctor Roof. You've seen spiritual leaders that have gotten a
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: lot of you know, television time that have gone on
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 3: to grow a.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Ya lemon se Right.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 3: So if you're actually doing things with real intention and
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 3: you're actually doing really good work, you know you can
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: become I guess.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 2: Of famous in your own right.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: Think about all of those home renovation shows you'd be
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 3: watching envy, like those people.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: What's that dude that be come up here that look
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 2: like little Kendo sell the houses? Ryan sir? Oh, yeah,
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 3: But I mean he does the work of selling houses,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: and he's he does such a good job at it
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 3: that he's become famous when he got TV shows and
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 3: stuff like that.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: Even if you know, and I watch all those shows,
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 4: even the guys that buy the storage units and flip
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 4: the storage units like you, become fame.
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: But they are good at their jobs.
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: You got people that do teeth out here now that
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: have become famous. Doctor Miami became famous doingbody My point is,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: do the real work, do the work with intention. Then
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: you'll have some fame, and then you got to figure
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: out what you're going to do with that fame. Another
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 3: person that I use an example, Mario carbone All his
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: restaurants are super famous. But guess what he focuses on.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: And he'll come up here and tell you that the
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: quality of the experience.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 8: You can't just.
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 3: Aspire to be famous and then think that that fame
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: is going to translate into something else.
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: Hello, who's this girl?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 13: Mary?
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 12: This is mister show money or is that on.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: New Jersey famous for being fact? Yo?
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 22: I think that like he was describing influence, but maybe
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 22: the world fame team up in a conversation. He was
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 22: describing influence and how to be you know'sp with which
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 22: what what what you do as as people follow you
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 22: or gain notoriety, and how your influence can help or
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 22: hurt your.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 12: Life and those of others.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 22: So maybe, like I said, maybe someone in the room
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 22: with him asked the question that the question or whatever
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 22: or use the world.
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 13: Fame he was he was describing influenced.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 3: You're absolutely right, mister show money. That's the word that
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: he should have been using influence. But even with that,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: it has to be context because you know, what is
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: it what are you doing that has caused you to
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: have that type of influence. Like a lot of people
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 3: think they can just be influencers for the sake of
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 3: being influences because they got a bunch of followers.
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 2: What did you do to get those followers? Eight hundred five?
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: You gotta go sensitive? He fat fat.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 3: People are very sensitive to stop calling him fat? Okay, exactly,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: that is not jolly. Jolly people are very sensitive. He
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: go DM me right now. Why you hanging on?
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 8: He's a caller of size.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 12: That's what.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 2: You can relate. You have to go hello, who's this.
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 19: Day?
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 2: Shod day?
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 20: I love y'all you.
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 19: I just feel like these parents are they're so important.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 19: He's cock stars, he's rappers.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: Young, we gotta do better.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 19: Stop list said these rappers.
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 12: And it's TikTok.
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 2: Stars, TikTok just down now. People were dying young way
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 2: before TikTok. They always want to blame.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 8: And it is getting more and more out of hand.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 20: It's getting worse.
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 13: It's getting worse.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 8: This is everything's getting worse.
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 2: Morning, talk to us, what's your thoughts.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 19: Some morning, y'all?
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 12: DJ if he just hilarious slam and I love all y'all.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 19: Can't believe I'm on the line. Yes, So, I feel
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 19: like this is the problem with society now we outolize
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 19: famous people that we even allow stuff like this to happen.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 19: We should have people who are qualified talking to our
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 19: children in the classrooms anyway, Like why is he even there?
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 2: But if these.
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: Students are fans of him, regardless if you think he's
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 4: qualified or not, he has influence and he can possibly
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 4: influenced these kids to do some positive instead of doing
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 4: some negative things that they might have been taking.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 19: I can understand that I do envy, But my point
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 19: is is that that's the problem.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 8: Why is it only a rapper.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 20: Who should have enough influence to influence our children. Why
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 20: didn't that we not raise them in a way to
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 20: think that the lawyer is good enough to influence.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 8: Bring to the school though he just happened to be
• 1:20:24
  Speaker 8: there to day, right, But he.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 19: Shouldn't have been there.
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: Imagine you were a parent and didn't know anything about
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 3: young thug and your child came home and said, Mom,
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 3: a young thug came to have a conversation.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. He told me that I need to
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 2: be famous.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 19: Not like whoop, you do, not him.
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 8: He shouldn't have been there in the first place.
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 19: Now what are we doing in society, guys?
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 3: I will say this, Jeffrey should be allowed to come
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: talk to people. He's an entrepreneur, and not only that,
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: he's been through real life experiences.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: He's there telling kids what not to do. Don't make
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: the same mistakes that I made. I don't have a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 2: problem with that.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 19: I don't think that that would have been great. That
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 19: would have been great, But he didn't do that.
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: We only heard thirty seconds. You don't know if you did.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 17: It ain't that little thirty seconds. He's saying, my fame
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 17: got me into like he does treat He might be
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 17: getting to that.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 8: You got to move a certain way. He was saying,
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 8: you know, don't make the same mistakes.
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 19: Right, but it does better so that next time he
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 19: gets in a classroom he can still a little more
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 19: qualified and speaks of life and to these children. Because
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 19: that fame speech, was not it that the parent age?
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Alicia, good day. What's the story? I mean,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: you just cannot tell kids to aspire to be famous.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 8: And that's the most important part.
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, with no context, like like all of these kids
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 3: want to be famous. We know that, we know all
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: of these kids just want to be on social media
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 3: being famous for a whole bunch of nothing. Fame itself
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 3: isn't important it's about doing the actual work. What are
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 3: we encouraging kids to actually do? Because I promise you,
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: if you do real work with real intention and this
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: day it is, you're gonna probably you're gonna get famous anyway,
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: anybody do you know what that fame means? I just
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: I like what smister show Money said, You're going to
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 3: have a level of influence.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: Like if you if you actually go do the work
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 3: with real intention and whatever it is that you're gonna do,
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 3: You're gonna have a level of influence.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: And there's a woman that I watch.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: I can't remember her name, but every time she wants
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: to call kids, I think she's in Chicago.
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: She'd be outside the court.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: Room Wiley like wild with the people that she won with,
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: like doing dancing and all kinds off. I cannot remember
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 3: the sister name, and I look at it and I'm like, damn,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: would I want this in an attorney? But the reality
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 3: is she wants he's winning. Forget what you feel about
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 3: how she celebrates she's winning. I'll be reading these long
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 3: captions of hers and she'll break down exactly why she
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: won the case.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm That's what I want, I don't get
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 2: you dance or don't dance? Are you winning? That's the
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: point is she's doing the work. You don't let her.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 2: Lady named Lauren no Am always yeah she's black and
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 2: she be okay.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 8: But that's the thing. Yeah, I don't care how you
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 8: celebrate you won.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 2: That's right. Ladies, with Lauren coming up, we do we want.
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 17: To talk about some conversations because Sean Man, you do
• 1:23:15

• 1:23:19
  Speaker 17: n ABJ is the National Association of Black Journalists, right,

  Speaker 17: that is the biggest organization supporting black journalists. They called
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 17: out stephen A. Smith and it sparked a really big
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 17: conversation about what you should and should not do when
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 17: critique is somebody, Oh.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 3: Sierra in Norris, let me see her. She's the Chicago

  Speaker 3: criminal defense attorney. She goes viral all the time because
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 3: she dances and celebrates with her clients.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 2: But she wins. She's doing great work. Is the point.

  Speaker 2: So do great work and you will gain a level
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 2: of notoriety and influence.
• 1:23:47

• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: Time to you by top Dog Law on the Breakfast Club.
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 8: So Stephen A.
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 17: Smith in the National Association of Black Journalists. For those
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 17: of you guys who don't know, the National Association of
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 17: Black Journalists is an organization that uplifts black journalists, right,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 17: So it's all about educating. They help you find jobs,
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 17: but it's a community, so it goes from like college
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 17: all the way through your career. A lot of black journalists,
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 17: big name black journals, including Steven A. Smith, started their
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 17: careers within an organization. So they recently had their annual
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 17: conference in Chicago and they gave an award called the
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 17: Thumbs Down Award. Now, this award goes to people who
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 17: they feel are like disparaging or just making it harder
• 1:24:48
  Speaker 17: for black journalists to do their jobs. Steve n Asmith
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 17: was awarded the award. Let's take a listen to Steve
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 17: Nay Smith the award being given to him.
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 11: NADJ presents the thumbs Down award to an individual organization, actions, reporting,
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 11: or institutional practices have significantly undermined fair, accurate, and inclusive
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 11: journalism about Black communities Britain, car Juwan McCoy, CBS, Stephen A.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 2: Smith The Washington Post.
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 17: Yeah so, Stephen A. Smith was pretty upset about receiving
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 17: that award. And I mean he is a part of
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 17: the organization. Not only is it part of it, but
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 17: like he's brought First Take to their conferences. Like he's
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 17: done a lot to pour back into NABJ, a lot
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 17: to pour back into Black journalists.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 2: But whether he at the conference last year or honored
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 2: at the conference, or spoke at the.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 17: Conference, Yeah, and First Take was there, He's done a lot.
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 17: He was there last year, he wasn't there this year.
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 17: But he responded via his show and he was not happy.
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 17: Let's take a listen to Steven A. Smith responding to
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 17: the NABJ.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 27: It is BS, and I get a lot of people
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 27: want to pile on and they want to jump on
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 27: it because you have your own individual feelings about me.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 27: I'm here to tell y'all, y'all are entitled to that,
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 27: not the NABACH. You're not entitled to that. I am
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 27: the same guy that brought a nationally televised show to
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 27: a journalism conference, which is the NABJ the last two years.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: Did you have anything to say about me?
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 27: Then First Take, which has been number one for fourteen
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 27: straight years. We came to the National Association for Black
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 27: Journalists in Chicago and Cleveland.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 2: I also stood in the booth over an hour doing
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: the jobs fair. I also gave a speech.
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 27: I also mentored and talked to, as I continue to
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 27: do young aspiring black journalists, and I have done that
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 27: religiously for decades.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 3: I don't think anyone is above criticism, but if steven
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 3: A has done all of those things for them, it
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 3: should have been more of a.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 2: Call in than a call out.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I disagree, right, And the reason I say that
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 4: as an NABJ is an organization that is supposed to
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: empower journalists right, help journalists out right, and Steven A.
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 2: Smith has done that. So the fact that they even
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 2: have a thumbs down.
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 4: Award for a black journalist that's out there, that's working,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 4: that's putting in the work outside of what he does
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: for the n A B J. When you look at
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 4: these campuses, these HBCUs as big as stephen A.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 2: Smith is, who's always on those campuses. Steven should have
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 2: been more.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 4: I don't even like the throws down, like they should
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 4: not have anything negative towards if there is.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 8: A question of calling.
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: You have that award. But I'm not just saying for him.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, but.
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 17: Here's the thing, and I'm going to play another stephen A.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 17: Smith audio. The question I have for the room is
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 17: at what point, though, can the call in not be
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 17: a call out? But I be honest about what I
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 17: didn't like, because that's what n ABJ were trying to do.
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 17: They don't like some of the comments he's made about
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 17: Jasmine Crockett, Michelle Obama singer and Serena Williams, Kamala Harris,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 17: and he talks about that moment. Let's take a listen
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 17: to stephen A mention it, Ja Kroppt and Michelle What
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 17: the hell.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 27: This thumbs down a ward have to do with journalism
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 27: disparaging black women? How I've heard people bringing up Jasmine Crockett.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 27: Did I sit up there asking why would you curse
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 27: out the President of the United States with the cameras rolling,
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 27: How is that going to help you?
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, I did. Why did I do that?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 27: Not only because she's in Texas and I know they
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 27: were a little bit different in Texas, a bit more conservative,
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 27: and I didn't think that would work with her constituency
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 27: down there.
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 2: How is that disparaging?
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 27: Oh, stephen A goes after Michelle Obama. She's the one
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 27: that compared first Take to a reality show, And I
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 27: use that as an opportunity to say that this marvelous,
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 27: wonderful woman, who's the greatest first lady in American history, who.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 2: I have raised and praised and praised time and time
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 2: and don again. All I did was say, I don't
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 2: like the fact that.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 27: You said a vote for him, as in Donald Trump,
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 27: would be a vote against us as women.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 2: All I said was, there's a whole bunch of pro
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 2: lifers out there.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 27: There's a whole bunch of people that care about the
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 27: economy or immigration or safety in the streets.
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: They might not even be thinking about this issue.
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 17: So, I just think I agreed that it should have
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 17: been done a different way. But I think you should
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 17: be able to disagree on things you should have been
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 17: done a different way.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: Thumbs down.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 4: The ward that was at an naba at NABJ Wah
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: supposed to be uplifting African American journalists, and I will
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 4: say the fact that he does it and it's forty
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 4: three hundred members and does all do all forty three
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 4: hundred members feel that way about Stephen A.
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 2: Smith?
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 17: And Stephen they said that he received a lot of
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 17: text and phone calls from other board members and people
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 17: in the organization who were upset about the way that
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 17: they went about this because not only did he receive
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 17: the award and of course with a viral because of
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 17: who he is, but he says that the president, miss
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 17: Aaron Haynes, didn't reach out to him, like he didn't
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 17: even know that this was going to happen, and she spoke.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 2: They should have been that should have been done, especially
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 2: because he's done so much for him.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 17: Yes, she spoke to Roland Martin, who's also on the
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 17: board of NABJ, about the moment in her decision to
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 17: give Stephen A.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 8: Smith the thumbs down. The world let's say a listen, look.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 28: At who we named this year. I think we have
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 28: to agree that there's a clear through line. We're looking
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 28: at the forces that make it harder for black journalists
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 28: to do their jobs and harder for black communities to
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 28: be covered fairly and fully. Like that includes government officials
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 28: that are observing their pressure on the press, news organizations
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 28: that are making decisions that we can diversity and coverage,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 28: media owners who are facing questions about the treatment of
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 28: black journalists who we know are under attack by internal
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 28: and external forces across this country.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 8: And also influencer commentators whose.
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 28: Rhetoric can be enforced awful narratives about black people, particularly
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 28: black women.
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 12: Now you know me.
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 28: We've been on this board together for a year now,
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 28: and I've been very clear that advocacy is central to
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 28: my presidency, particularly advocacy around black women and our professions.
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 4: So Roland Martin was on one of the board members
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 4: that voted for him to get this award.
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 17: I don't believe that he voted like I can't say that,
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 17: but he word he does work with NABJ, But I
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 17: don't know his stance on whether he signed. I don't
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 17: know his stance on whether STEVENI should have got the
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 17: award or not. I can't answer that.
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 3: I'll tell you that, sadly, we wouldn't be talking about
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: NABJ Artist Conference if they didn't do this thumbs down award.
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 3: And what's even worse is there's people that they named
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 3: in the thumbs Down Award, like Brendan Carr, who's doing
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 3: way worse things to media than stephen A.
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 2: Smith is.
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 3: But you know, per usual, the vitri all goes to
• 1:31:23
  Speaker 3: the black person from a lot of other black people.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 17: I can update, I'm sorry. On his show, Roland Martin Unfiltered,
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 17: Roland Martin supported the decision. He showed pride in n
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 17: ABJ President's Aaron Hayes in the organization for having the courage.
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 8: To give stephen A. Smith the twenty twenty six thumbs
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 8: Down Award.
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think steven A makes it. Oh go ahead, nope,
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, take me out of there. I
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 2: don't want to say nothing. I want to Yeah, I don't.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 8: I don't.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 3: I don't think, you know, because they said steven A
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 3: makes it harder for journalists to do their job. He actually,
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 3: you know, gives journalists a job to do because if
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 3: stephen A gets things wrong, then the journalists can actually
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 3: correct the rect right.
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 8: And yeah, and that's what I'm saying.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 17: But look, yeah, like it I gonna get what you
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 17: said spark the conversation though, And I will say I
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 17: feel like I haven't I've known an NBA for some
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 17: time now, so she has a student that went through
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 17: school trying to work in this and I feel like
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 17: people don't talk about NABJ enough, and I mean sad
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 17: that this is why we are, but it does start
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 17: a conversation about how you what are the politics or
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 17: should not be politics around how you call things out.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think there's a lot more threats to
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: black journalism and black media.
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 4: Smith absolutely, who knows all the time and it donates
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 4: all the time, that does so many And I'm not
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 4: and I don't want to say like I'm a Stephen
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 4: Asmith Glazer, but it's just what I see. I'm there
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 4: on the HBCU campuses when I see first take, I'm
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 4: there on those campuses when I see Steven A. Smith
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 4: talking to journalists and going to those classes and where
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 4: he's came from.
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 2: Not, well, nobody's above criticism, not at all. But not
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 2: not that award.
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 3: Not that's FAST's just the way to administer that criticism.
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 3: You know, some of y'all in the NABJ, you know
• 1:32:53
  Speaker 3: probably need to have more grace because some of y'all
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 3: getting thumbs up your ass, so you probably should have
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: a little bit more.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 2: That's why they want to go. That's why let's get
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: out here. She literally, I just want to go.
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 8: Let's go.

  Speaker 3: The positive note is coming from one of my favorite
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 3: pages on Instagram. It's called the Healing gud and today
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 3: they posted the moment we refuse to hurt others because
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 3: of our own pain is the time we evolve as souls. Okay,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: True growth is breaking the cycle of pain instead of
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 3: passing it on. When you choose compassion over retaliation and
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: refuse to make others suffer for what hurts you. You
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 3: transform pain into wisdom. Are you breaking that cycle? Are
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 3: repeating it?
• 1:35:47
