- 3:39Speaker 1: Stupid that couldn't even reach the court. Terrible last seats
- 3:43Speaker 1: he stupid. What's up Morgan?
- 3:46Speaker 9: Hey y'all, Hey, how are you feeling on this Tuesday?
- 3:49Speaker 9: All right, let's get into it. So first off front page,
- 3:51Speaker 9: of course, if you missed it, President Trump is cracking
- 3:54Speaker 9: down on crime in the nation's capital of Washington, d C.
- 3:57Speaker 9: He activated the National Guard to so called help local
- 4:00Speaker 9: law enforcement as part of his plan, and went on
- 4:03Speaker 9: to say that they will be allowed to do their
- 4:06Speaker 9: job properly now. President went on to claim crime numbers
- 4:09Speaker 9: in DC are worse than places like Baghdad and Columbia
- 4:12Speaker 9: Bogata or Bogota, Columbia, excuse me, and he made those
- 4:15Speaker 9: comments while speaking from the White House Press briefing room.
- 4:17Speaker 10: Let's take a listen.
- 4:19Speaker 11: Under the authorities vested in me as the President of
- 4:21Speaker 11: the United States, I'm officially invoking Section seventy forty of
- 4:25Speaker 11: the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, you know what
- 4:28Speaker 11: that is, and placing the DC Metropolitan Police Department under
- 4:33Speaker 11: direct federal control. Our capital city has been overtaken by
- 4:38Speaker 11: violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals, roving mobs of wild youth
- 4:42Speaker 11: drugged out maniacs and homeless people.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Now, I'm not really a stat guy because I feel
- 4:47Speaker 1: like sometimes numbers lie. But how could you make claims
- 4:51Speaker 1: about a city being worse than those other countries if
- 4:54Speaker 1: the numbers don't add up.
- 4:56Speaker 2: Well, the thing is it's not true.
- 4:57Speaker 5: They saying violent crime is now twenty six percent from
- 5:00Speaker 5: the same time last year, down fifty one percent from
- 5:02Speaker 5: this time in twenty twenty three, and down thirty five
- 5:05Speaker 5: percent from twenty nineteen. They say carl jackins are down
- 5:07Speaker 5: thirty seven percent compared to last year and down sixty
- 5:11Speaker 5: nine percent compared to twenty twenty three.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Well, I'm not I'm not disagreeing with any of that.
- 5:15Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, we had those same discussions
- 5:18Speaker 1: here in New York when they was trying to tell
- 5:19Speaker 1: us the numbers.
- 5:20Speaker 2: That we're down.
- 5:20Speaker 1: So that's what I'm saying. So I'm wondering this, how
- 5:23Speaker 1: can you make those claims, you know, about other countries
- 5:27Speaker 1: when people just dismissed the numbers.
- 5:29Speaker 2: I guess you know what I'm saying.
- 5:30Speaker 10: Absolutely.
- 5:31Speaker 12: So.
- 5:31Speaker 9: Meanwhile, d c's mayor, who you know you mentioned MVS
- 5:36Speaker 9: called you. She's reacting to the news of President Trump's
- 5:38Speaker 9: crimes numbers. The Democratic mayor Mario Bowser spoke out after
- 5:43Speaker 9: Trump placed the d C under federal control and activated
- 5:46Speaker 9: the National Guard as part of his major crackdown on crime.
- 5:48Speaker 2: Now.
- 5:49Speaker 9: Bowser thinks Trump's current view on crime in DC is
- 5:51Speaker 9: shaped by rising crime rates during his first term, but
- 5:55Speaker 9: she says crime has dropped since since then, since his
- 5:59Speaker 9: first she also took the opportunity to advocate for DC's statehood.
- 6:03Speaker 10: Let's take a listen to her comments.
- 6:05Speaker 13: And while this action today is unsettlingly and unprecedented, I
- 6:10Speaker 13: can't say that given some of the rhetoric of the past,
- 6:14Speaker 13: that were totally surprised. That is why you have heard
- 6:18Speaker 13: me and many many Washingtonians before me, advocate for full
- 6:25Speaker 13: statehood for the District of Columbia. Chief Pamela Smith is
- 6:30Speaker 13: the chief of the Metropolitan Police Department.
- 6:34Speaker 9: Oh yes, She went on to reiterate also that Chief
- 6:37Speaker 9: Police Chief Pamela Smith is in charge. But she also
- 6:40Speaker 9: said that she is cooperating with the Trump administration. So
- 6:43Speaker 9: hopefully we'll get a chance to speak to her and
- 6:45Speaker 9: see how she actually feels about all of this. Since
- 6:47Speaker 9: things are starting to settle in it and just switching gears.
- 6:52Speaker 9: Actually it's still related to the president, but it's not
- 6:55Speaker 9: so much along DC. But the Trump administration also said
- 6:58Speaker 9: that they are looking at reclassify marijuana as a less
- 7:01Speaker 9: dangerous drug. President Trump said this during his news conference yesterday,
- 7:04Speaker 9: as well that he estimates his administration will make the
- 7:07Speaker 9: determination over the next few weeks. Marijuana has been a
- 7:10Speaker 9: Schedule one drug since nineteen seventy one, you know, along
- 7:13Speaker 9: the lines with other drugs like fence and heroin.
- 7:19Speaker 10: But the Trump Trump's potential.
- 7:20Speaker 9: Potential reclassifate reclassification would continue efforts started by the Biden
- 7:26Speaker 9: administration to make marijuana as Schedule three drug, which basically
- 7:29Speaker 9: means there are some health benefits to it. A Schedule
- 7:33Speaker 9: three designation wouldn't legalize marijuana, but it would make it
- 7:36Speaker 9: would lessen the criminal penalties surrounding it. If it's not
- 7:39Speaker 9: legal for recreational use in your state.
- 7:42Speaker 1: That's better. That's a step towards legalization, but just legalize
- 7:46Speaker 1: how on the federal level.
- 7:47Speaker 5: It's so confusing what states are llegal, what states is
- 7:50Speaker 5: not lay legal, And it's it's so many states that
- 7:52Speaker 5: you can do it, and you can do it. Medicinal
- 7:54Speaker 5: in all states. So, like you said, just legalize.
- 7:56Speaker 2: It all on a federal level, because you know what happens.
- 7:58Speaker 1: You called people to practice bad because if you're from
- 8:00Speaker 1: like a New York and New Jersey of California and
- 8:03Speaker 1: you used to it being legal, you'll be in one
- 8:05Speaker 1: of these stages down south where it's not legal, not
- 8:07Speaker 1: even thinking about it.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Get your assned. Next thing you know, you locked the
- 8:09Speaker 2: hell up.

- 17:20Speaker 1: be us?
- 17:24Speaker 17: Yeah, I mean just the rock on her hand alone, though,
- 17:26Speaker 17: I think the picture of it is it is what's
- 17:28Speaker 17: making people feel aspirational, like maybe.
- 17:31Speaker 5: One day he's worth a billion dollars.
- 17:33Speaker 8: You never know who you're running too, and you never know.
- 17:37Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, seriously, what makes people care about stories?
- 17:40Speaker 1: Like that, Like I like minding other people's business too,
- 17:42Speaker 1: But what about that story excite you? Like you really
- 17:44Speaker 1: think you're gonna meet a BILLIONAI one day, they're gonna
- 17:46Speaker 1: give you a five million dollars rings? Seriously, people believe
- 17:48Speaker 1: that the story.
- 17:49Speaker 17: Yeah, I think it's that, But I also think they've
- 17:51Speaker 17: been together for some time. They have kids together. You
- 17:53Speaker 17: see pictures of them, five kids together. Yes, okay, did
- 17:56Speaker 17: you see the real story?
- 17:57Speaker 2: The real story he finally proposed to her after five kids.
- 18:00Speaker 2: While they were black.
- 18:02Speaker 1: They'd be calling them ghetto and saying about times about time.
- 18:07Speaker 8: Eight nine years to five kids eight nine years.
- 18:09Speaker 17: But yeah, I think people just date into his business
- 18:11Speaker 17: because he's one of the most famous people in the
- 18:14Speaker 17: soccer world.
- 18:15Speaker 4: Like him.
- 18:15Speaker 8: What is it Messy after him?
- 18:17Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 18:17Speaker 5: Probably mess Yeah.
- 18:18Speaker 8: I think people just interested because of him.
- 18:19Speaker 17: But also I think it is the kids, the time,
- 18:22Speaker 17: and the crazy huge ring.
- 18:23Speaker 8: I think that's what we got.
- 18:24Speaker 2: The people going, we don't know what else we got.
- 18:27Speaker 8: Y'all hate him, don't.
- 18:29Speaker 2: I don't even know him.
- 18:30Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 18:34Speaker 3: I do know MESSI when you mentioned MESSI, I do
- 18:36Speaker 3: know him. But okay, congratulations, I just don't care. No, yeah,
- 18:40Speaker 3: I don't.
- 18:41Speaker 5: Okay, he's worth a billionairest You say it's inspiration, like
- 18:44Speaker 5: it's it's not it was the last time he met
- 18:46Speaker 5: a billionaire, Like it's a bunch of those just walking jos.
- 18:52Speaker 8: I don't think it's that. I think people the same
- 18:54Speaker 8: reason why people care about some general we do know billionaires, niggas,
- 18:58Speaker 8: we know.
- 19:03Speaker 2: No all right, hell not yet anyway, switching.
- 19:06Speaker 17: Gears to something that you guys will probably care a
- 19:08Speaker 17: lot more about our Lennox. So I wanted to get
- 19:11Speaker 17: into the story yesterday, but we ran out of the time.
- 19:13Speaker 17: In the latest so Ari Lennox, remember we talked about
- 19:15Speaker 17: her and her feelings on Martin. Baby girl came back
- 19:18Speaker 17: out to stand on business to tell people she doesn't
- 19:21Speaker 17: care what y'all think. Let's take a listen to our
- 19:23Speaker 17: Lenox responding to all of them Martin height.
- 19:26Speaker 16: If I had ill intent, I would have came on
- 19:29Speaker 16: here with a PowerPoint presentation that backs my claims on
- 19:32Speaker 16: the types of jokes Martin used on Pam being wildly offensive.
- 19:36Speaker 16: That will never be my intent or motive. But I
- 19:39Speaker 16: will stand on Business forever knowing them jokes was wild,
- 19:42Speaker 16: and I don't say any of this with any desire
- 19:45Speaker 16: to rewrite history. Those actors and actresses are legends and
- 19:49Speaker 16: I met no harm to them. I don't need any
- 19:51Speaker 16: army of people defending me or agreeing with me. That
- 19:55Speaker 16: has always been a rare occurrence for me. But I
- 19:57Speaker 16: feel amazing and knowing that I will value date myself
- 20:01Speaker 16: and my feelings before I look to you for yours.
- 20:04Speaker 16: I never was a fan of roasting period, as I
- 20:07Speaker 16: am very sensitive and I will for sure drag somebody
- 20:11Speaker 16: to hell every time.
- 20:15Speaker 2: That's a contradiction.
- 20:16Speaker 17: Yeah, Basically, well, I think what she's trying to say
- 20:20Speaker 17: is is that, well I watched it, she would live to.
- 20:22Speaker 1: Say you're a fan of roasting, but no, you say
- 20:25Speaker 1: you're not, but then say you would. That's a contradiction.
- 20:29Speaker 17: Yeah, But what she was trying to say was because
- 20:30Speaker 17: in the beginning she talked about like just people coming
- 20:32Speaker 17: from her because she has an opinion, and she said
- 20:34Speaker 17: everybody follows what.
- 20:35Speaker 8: The masters are saying online.
- 20:37Speaker 17: So she's always going to defend herself because she feels
- 20:39Speaker 17: like she's a sheep, she has her own opinion.
- 20:41Speaker 8: People are always mad at her.
- 20:42Speaker 2: Face like she's a sheep.
- 20:43Speaker 17: Like basically she's she's outside of like a unicorn, she's
- 20:46Speaker 17: outside of I mean, she's not a sheep. Sorry, she
- 20:48Speaker 17: said that everybody else my mind were sheets and she
- 20:51Speaker 17: said that basically, like she it's getting to the point
- 20:53Speaker 17: where she's getting used to having to do this, like
- 20:55Speaker 17: defend herself and go back at people, because she's not
- 20:58Speaker 17: going to stop saying how she feels because other peop.
- 21:00Speaker 4: Don't believing that's the thing.
- 21:01Speaker 3: Right, But when you say it online, you have to
- 21:04Speaker 3: be prepared for different people to agree and disagree, and
- 21:09Speaker 3: and then you got to prepare to drag them back,
- 21:11Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So you are ultimately doing
- 21:14Speaker 3: the same thing that you hate.
- 21:15Speaker 1: I believe that when you express your opinion publicly, we
- 21:18Speaker 1: the public have the right to disagree. We the public
- 21:20Speaker 1: have the right to say you tripping, it's okay. That's
- 21:22Speaker 1: what I never understand.
- 21:22Speaker 5: You can give your opinion that could traumatize you and can,
- 21:25Speaker 5: but we have our opinion on what you saying. Like
- 21:27Speaker 5: you know, I mean, if as long as nobody's being disrespectful,
- 21:29Speaker 5: I mean a lot of people were, but if nobody's
- 21:32Speaker 5: opinions like everybody exactly.
- 21:33Speaker 17: Yeah, I just didn't think that Martin panm thing was
- 21:35Speaker 17: that deep until she started having conversations about it. But
- 21:38Speaker 17: she also Yeah, she also mentioned in there too, I
- 21:41Speaker 17: don't do we have this yet?
- 21:43Speaker 8: Non think so right now?
- 21:45Speaker 17: She also mentioned in there too it was a part
- 21:46Speaker 17: of this was like a line that she had been
- 21:48Speaker 17: watching the Bernie Maxhaw as well, and she didn't appreciate
- 21:50Speaker 17: that either.
- 21:51Speaker 4: What she did.
- 21:52Speaker 8: I think it's just she's not a fan of people
- 21:54Speaker 8: being made fun of. It's her point.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Who was making fun of who?
- 21:58Speaker 2: So how you drag somebody the hell if you know?
- 21:59Speaker 5: I mean, I think dragon the hell if they come
- 22:02Speaker 5: at her. But obviously she doesn't like people to get
- 22:05Speaker 5: being made fun of because she's been made fun of
- 22:07Speaker 5: for a long time in the industry and that's probably
- 22:09Speaker 5: the way that she feels.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it, but calling out the greatest black
- 22:13Speaker 3: shows that we have right like, that's wild to me.
- 22:17Speaker 3: But what was happening in the Bernie Mackshaw who was
- 22:20Speaker 3: who was roasting people in the Bernie mac show? Martin
- 22:23Speaker 3: was a show like that all about that, But Bernie
- 22:27Speaker 3: Mackshaw was more of a family setting. He was taking
- 22:29Speaker 3: care of his nieces in that field.
- 22:32Speaker 7: But yeah, but.
- 22:34Speaker 8: It wasn't even like Martino, you know what I mean.
- 22:39Speaker 17: I think it's just her thing, Like this is just
- 22:40Speaker 17: how she feels about some of the jokes from that
- 22:42Speaker 17: era and that.
- 22:43Speaker 8: Yeah, let's take a listen. I don't want to make
- 22:44Speaker 8: sure we get her words.
- 22:45Speaker 2: In wat.
- 22:51Speaker 1: Oh my goodness. All I know is this, y'all lives
- 22:55Speaker 1: must be really great. If this what the hell y'all
- 22:56Speaker 1: sitting around arguing about. If y'all sitting around complaining about
- 22:59Speaker 1: the Bernie Mack Show and Martin and y'all got time
- 23:01Speaker 1: to get online and express the people, how y'all can
- 23:04Speaker 1: have you all opinions about these shows.
- 23:05Speaker 2: Life must really not be that bad, she.
- 23:07Speaker 8: Said, hers isn't.
- 23:08Speaker 17: Because people said that she always does this when she
- 23:09Speaker 17: ain't got nothing to do, because you're no music out,
- 23:11Speaker 17: and she said, no, my life is good.
- 23:13Speaker 8: She loves her pickup truck, she loves.
- 23:14Speaker 4: Her new music.
- 23:15Speaker 8: She got vacancy coming out in the fall, and she's good.
- 23:18Speaker 5: And she'd be outside too. I've seen a couple of
- 23:20Speaker 5: times outside she'd be enjoyed life, and she should.
- 23:22Speaker 17: She also said the next time she gets back on
- 23:24Speaker 17: is live and have to clear something up. She she
- 23:26Speaker 17: wants to address everything that happened with Dreamville. So that'll
- 23:28Speaker 17: be the next episode of ar Lenox that take.
- 23:33Speaker 2: It like that.
- 23:39Speaker 1: I like Ari, I like Arian music, but I don't
- 23:41Speaker 1: rather your opinion on Dreamville than Bernie Mackshaw and Martin.
- 23:45Speaker 17: She says she's gonna gather herself and her thoughts and
- 23:47Speaker 17: she'll come back. So we'll be back with that when
- 23:48Speaker 17: she comes back from DC.
- 23:51Speaker 4: Right, and she from DC.
- 23:52Speaker 8: I know she lives like in that Maryland area that
- 23:54Speaker 8: I know of. I don't know where she's from.
- 23:55Speaker 1: That's why Trump internationals he like Martin was like Donald

- 25:32Speaker 1: food at his wife. He was a little boy. He
- 25:33Speaker 1: probably was a pre teen tour maybe maybe a teenager.
- 25:36Speaker 1: He was showing off with some girls, throwing food at
- 25:38Speaker 1: the old man's wife. Old man, that old man got
- 25:41Speaker 1: up and beat the hell out there, and then somebody

- 25:47Speaker 2: what the little boy did, he smacking.
- 25:51Speaker 7: That video.
- 25:52Speaker 9: What's up, Morgan, y'all, Hey, all right, let's get into it.
- 25:55Speaker 9: So President Trump is signing an executive order to extend
- 25:57Speaker 9: a tear of truth with China for another ninety days.
- 26:01Speaker 9: The truth struck in June during talks between US and
- 26:04Speaker 9: Chinese officials keep US tariffs on most Chinese goods at
- 26:08Speaker 9: fifty five percent. The US is in asking is in
- 26:12Speaker 9: asking Beijing for a commitment to boost exports of rare
- 26:16Speaker 9: earths to the US. So will continue to follow that
- 26:19Speaker 9: and see what happens as a result over the next
- 26:21Speaker 9: ninety days. Elsewhere, Texas State House has once again failed
- 26:26Speaker 9: to reach a quorum after Democrats left the state House
- 26:29Speaker 9: to stop a Republican led redistricting effort. The House has
- 26:32Speaker 9: been trying to reach that quorum since last week. Texas
- 26:35Speaker 9: Republican Governor Greg Abbot says DPS officers are searching in
- 26:39Speaker 9: state for Democrats and working without a state authorities to
- 26:42Speaker 9: see if they can help bring back those Democrats to
- 26:44Speaker 9: the state. Let's take a listen to Texas Governor Greg
- 26:46Speaker 9: Abbot's comments.
- 26:48Speaker 19: So we're looking for twelve Democrats to make sure we're
- 26:50Speaker 19: going to be able to be able to vote on
- 26:52Speaker 19: these maps as well as to address very important things
- 26:55Speaker 19: such as helping the flood victims. And we are working
- 26:58Speaker 19: with law enforcement, at tech, you other actions in other
- 27:01Speaker 19: parts of the country to see if we can uncover
- 27:04Speaker 19: any Democrats who can be brought back to the state.
- 27:06Speaker 9: So, Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows he also addressed the
- 27:09Speaker 9: missing Democrats yesterday afternoon, adding that disaster bills will be
- 27:13Speaker 9: brought to the floor today with or without Democrats. President,
- 27:17Speaker 9: let's take a list into Texas House Speaker Dustin.
- 27:19Speaker 20: Burroughs, you can go to another city, another state, even
- 27:23Speaker 20: another time zone, but you cannot escape your responsibility to
- 27:27Speaker 20: the people of Texas. Eventually, you will be here tomorrow
- 27:31Speaker 20: when the gavel drops. The question is simple, will you
- 27:34Speaker 20: be in that chair to vote for these critical disaster
- 27:36Speaker 20: recovery bills or will you be remembered as one who
- 27:40Speaker 20: did not show up? The choice is yours yes.
- 27:42Speaker 9: As previously mentioned, the House has been trying to reach
- 27:45Speaker 9: a quorum since last week. The new maps pushed by
- 27:47Speaker 9: President Trump could give the GOP as many as five
- 27:50Speaker 9: more US House seats. Grevinor Abbott has asked the Supreme Court,
- 27:56Speaker 9: the State Supreme Court, to declare the seat of the
- 27:58Speaker 9: House Democratic Caucus chair and as vacant as gen Wu
- 28:02Speaker 9: also left the state to Chicago with the number of
- 28:04Speaker 9: other Democrats.
- 28:05Speaker 4: So speaking of.
- 28:06Speaker 10: Chicago, Illinois Governor JB.
- 28:08Speaker 9: Pritzker, excuse me, is praising Texas Democrats who have filed
- 28:12Speaker 9: the state and protest of redistricting efforts. In an interview
- 28:15Speaker 9: over the weekend with NBC's Meet the Press, the Democratic
- 28:17Speaker 9: governor said, their action, the action that they're taking, is
- 28:21Speaker 9: actually protecting Americans.
- 28:22Speaker 10: Let's take a listen to Illinois Governor J.
- 28:24Speaker 15: Pritzker standing up not just for their own constituents and
- 28:27Speaker 15: for the people of Texas and their rights, but also
- 28:30Speaker 15: for the rights of people all across the country. Because
- 28:32Speaker 15: what Greg Abbott is doing, and what Donald Trump is
- 28:36Speaker 15: attempting to do, is to cheat the map that they
- 28:39Speaker 15: put together is it violates the Voting Rights Act and
- 28:43Speaker 15: it violates the Constitution.
- 28:45Speaker 9: So the FBI has reportedly agreed to help track down
- 28:48Speaker 9: those Democrats as a governor Texas Governor Greg Abbott has
- 28:52Speaker 9: requested and he's also called for their arrest now also
- 28:55Speaker 9: Illinois Governor JB.
- 28:56Speaker 10: Pritzker.
- 28:57Speaker 9: He's also spoke about a twenty twenty eight presidential run
- 29:01Speaker 9: or the possibility of one.
- 29:02Speaker 10: And here's what he had to say when asked about it.
- 29:04Speaker 15: No matter what decisions I make, and I mean in
- 29:06Speaker 15: particular about what I do here in the state of
- 29:09Speaker 15: Illinois is about the people of Illinois. Indeed, any future
- 29:13Speaker 15: decisions of mind will always be guided by that.
- 29:16Speaker 9: So the governor also responded to a question about whether
- 29:19Speaker 9: he was being hypocritical for criticizing Texas's redistricting plan when
- 29:23Speaker 9: the vast majority of Illinois congressional districts are democratic. What
- 29:27Speaker 9: Pritzker said that they held public and legislative hearings before
- 29:32Speaker 9: a map was passed at the end of the census,
- 29:34Speaker 9: which is what happens every ten years. While Texas Republicans
- 29:38Speaker 9: are changing the rules mid decade at the request of
- 29:42Speaker 9: President Trump.
- 29:45Speaker 10: At the request, basically at the request of President Trump.
- 29:48Speaker 9: So again, the census changes these maps every ten years
- 29:52Speaker 9: because you know, once you guys do the census conduct
- 29:54Speaker 9: the census, some of these congressional districts and maps will
- 29:57Speaker 9: change over every ten years. But they're saying that, you know,
- 30:01Speaker 9: the fact that they're doing at mid decade Texas Republicans
- 30:05Speaker 9: is that's you know, so that they can have that
- 30:07Speaker 9: advantage in that twenty twenty six midterms. So anyways, that's

- 30:30Speaker 5: retired NYPD detective.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.
- 30:32Speaker 1: I'm letting y'all know right now, this story is heavy
- 30:35Speaker 1: and this story may trigger you, especially if you have
- 30:37Speaker 1: been a victim of domestic violence. But Katrina Brownlee has
- 30:40Speaker 1: a book out called In and Then Came the Blues,
- 30:43Speaker 1: My story of survival on both sides.
- 30:45Speaker 7: Of the badge.
- 30:46Speaker 1: She was being abused by a former correctional officer who
- 30:50Speaker 1: used to use his badge and his power to basically
- 30:52Speaker 1: get away with it.
- 30:52Speaker 2: The police would never believe her.
- 30:54Speaker 1: She got shot ten times by this guy while she
- 30:56Speaker 1: was five months pregnant, but she lived to tell the story,
- 30:59Speaker 1: and she'd be an NYPD cop and retired, you know,
- 31:03Speaker 1: recently after serving twenty years. So I'm just letting y'all
- 31:06Speaker 1: know now this story is heavy and triggering for anybody
- 31:09Speaker 1: who's been a victim of domestic violence.
- 31:11Speaker 5: All right, and we'll get to that next. It's the
- 31:12Speaker 5: Breakfast Club.
- 31:13Speaker 7: Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
- 31:18Speaker 5: Warning, everybody is DJ n V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
- 31:22Speaker 5: We are the Breakfast Club lor the Roses here as well,
- 31:25Speaker 5: and we got a special guest in the building. She's
- 31:27Speaker 5: a retired NYPD detective, domestic violence survivor and a motivational speaker.
- 31:32Speaker 2: She has a new book. And then came the Balloons,
- 31:35Speaker 2: My story of survival on both sides of the badge.
- 31:38Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, we have Katrina Browne, how are you?
- 31:43Speaker 2: I Am Blessed Black and Holly Fred you have a
- 31:45Speaker 2: hell of a story. Where do you want to begin?
- 31:49Speaker 2: Wherever you want to do well?
- 31:52Speaker 1: The memoir tells the story of you being shot ten
- 31:55Speaker 1: times and overcoming the domestic violence. What hell you find
- 32:00Speaker 1: the courage to not only write this book, but just
- 32:02Speaker 1: to keep fighting for your life and I guess for
- 32:04Speaker 1: your future as well.
- 32:07Speaker 3: Oh gosh. The first thing I say it was God, faith, God, therapy,
- 32:15Speaker 3: and my children. That's what kept me fighting. That's all
- 32:19Speaker 3: I had was nothing else to even look at to say,
- 32:24Speaker 3: you know what I want to fight? Like when you
- 32:26Speaker 3: in survival mode, it's survival. You out there in the wilderness,
- 32:30Speaker 3: all by yourself, and you just trying to figure it
- 32:35Speaker 3: out as you go along.
- 32:37Speaker 8: The tagline of the book is my story of survival.
- 32:40Speaker 17: On both sides of the badge talk about, you know,
- 32:43Speaker 17: just the choice to make that the tagline because there
- 32:45Speaker 17: was one point where you were keeping what you were
- 32:47Speaker 17: going through personally, the violenceeer were experiencing in your work
- 32:51Speaker 17: as a police officer.
- 32:52Speaker 8: Separate badge.
- 32:53Speaker 3: On both sides of me my life of me being abused,
- 32:57Speaker 3: I wasn't just abused in terms of amestic violence, relationship
- 33:01Speaker 3: and the bucket also speaks about how I was a
- 33:04Speaker 3: child abused, child abuse, sexual abused, So I speak about that,
- 33:08Speaker 3: and then I speak about the fact of me being
- 33:11Speaker 3: a detective, being a police officer. So it's badges on
- 33:16Speaker 3: both sides.
- 33:17Speaker 1: And your ex fiance was a CEO, correct, and so
- 33:20Speaker 1: he basically used to abuse his power. Correct, put his
- 33:23Speaker 1: hands on you, correct, flash his badge right, and threaten you,
- 33:27Speaker 1: you know, on speaking up right.
- 33:29Speaker 3: I was the inmate and he was the correction officer
- 33:32Speaker 3: at home.
- 33:33Speaker 1: That's how it was. Damn.
- 33:36Speaker 8: Yeah, that's pretty tough. What was it like for you
- 33:38Speaker 8: day to day at work?
- 33:40Speaker 17: You know, just with everything that you were experiencing being
- 33:42Speaker 17: able to then deal with other people's issues and showing
- 33:45Speaker 17: up for other people, Like, what was that like mentally
- 33:48Speaker 17: for you?
- 33:48Speaker 3: It was so heavy for so many years because every
- 33:52Speaker 3: day that you go to work, you never know that
- 33:55Speaker 3: if somebody is going to recognize you or remember your story.
- 34:00Speaker 3: Because a few people did, you know, know my story.
- 34:03Speaker 3: It did make the news because at the time he
- 34:05Speaker 3: was a correction officer. So my name was Katrina Cook
- 34:09Speaker 3: at that time, and so it's Brian Lee. So a
- 34:13Speaker 3: lot of people didn't put two and two together. And
- 34:15Speaker 3: then when my story came out, a lot of people
- 34:20Speaker 3: begin to like reach out to me. So it was
- 34:24Speaker 3: just like a real difficult time just to work, and
- 34:29Speaker 3: especially work in the police department and with how can
- 34:34Speaker 3: I say it, not for but you know, work for
- 34:36Speaker 3: an organization that had failed me. So I went in
- 34:41Speaker 3: with the mindset of that I was going to change
- 34:44Speaker 3: this department and I was going to be this good cop.
- 34:48Speaker 3: But then when you go in, you realize that this
- 34:51Speaker 3: is bigger than you. You ain't changing this. You're going
- 34:55Speaker 3: to follow the rules or deal with the consequence.
- 34:59Speaker 8: I guess that was my question.
- 35:00Speaker 17: And like just in everything that you were dealt with
- 35:02Speaker 17: then deciding to go and be a part of a force,
- 35:05Speaker 17: it's like it's it's so much that you can't change,
- 35:07Speaker 17: but you get there to change it, Like, but you're
- 35:09Speaker 17: also still dealing with your own stuff mentally. I just
- 35:12Speaker 17: maybe my question is why, like why did you think
- 35:15Speaker 17: that you could break that system down?
- 35:17Speaker 3: Because of all the pain that I had went through,
- 35:20Speaker 3: everything that I had endured, Like, who was gonna save me?
- 35:23Speaker 3: They couldn't. They couldn't save me, So I just tried
- 35:25Speaker 3: to save myself.
- 35:27Speaker 1: Gotcha, when you when you would call the police and
- 35:30Speaker 1: you know, he would flash his badge and then the
- 35:32Speaker 1: officers would would would leave.
- 35:34Speaker 2: Did that just make you feel hopeless? Like, how did
- 35:37Speaker 2: you think he was gonna get out of that situation?
- 35:40Speaker 3: To be honest with you, it was gonna either be
- 35:43Speaker 3: me or him, That's how bad it was getting. And
- 35:47Speaker 3: the only reason what kept me from either killing myself
- 35:52Speaker 3: killing him was my children because I was like, my
- 35:56Speaker 3: kids gonna be motherless and.
- 35:59Speaker 2: I I guess you know, Lauren was was was getting
- 36:02Speaker 2: at this.
- 36:03Speaker 1: But I guess what I want to ask, how did
- 36:04Speaker 1: that betrayal from the police shape your decision to enter
- 36:09Speaker 1: law enforcement yourself?
- 36:11Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't want to, but I wouldn't want to
- 36:13Speaker 2: be no cop.
- 36:13Speaker 1: Like because you call it a blue wall signs, we
- 36:15Speaker 1: all call it a blue wall, but now you another brick.
- 36:18Speaker 2: On that wall.
- 36:20Speaker 3: To try to answer your question, like I said, like
- 36:23Speaker 3: for me, I needed to be able to be protected.
- 36:27Speaker 3: So in order for me to be protected, I had
- 36:30Speaker 3: to that was one of the ways to be protected.
- 36:32Speaker 3: Like I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna because if
- 36:35Speaker 3: I'm a cop, he they didn't give them a long sentence,
- 36:39Speaker 3: So he's coming out, So is he going to come
- 36:42Speaker 3: out and finish the job. But if I'm a cop,
- 36:44Speaker 3: well is he not going to do that? He's not
- 36:46Speaker 3: going to behave that way right? And then my thing
- 36:50Speaker 3: was I want to go in and I want to
- 36:52Speaker 3: be able to shape. I want to clean this place up,
- 36:55Speaker 3: Like I had this mindset because I just believe that
- 36:59Speaker 3: I can go I can change, because I wanted change,
- 37:02Speaker 3: because I could not believe that you would see me
- 37:05Speaker 3: with a black eye, you would see me with a
- 37:07Speaker 3: busted lit and you would just say work it out,
- 37:10Speaker 3: or you wouldn't even you wouldn't even address me. And
- 37:13Speaker 3: I'm standing there, you don't say anything to me. But
- 37:16Speaker 3: because he showed his shield, he had the right to
- 37:21Speaker 3: what's it like?
- 37:23Speaker 17: Because we hear a lot about like when women are
- 37:26Speaker 17: in these situations, there's this pattern of almost feeling like
- 37:29Speaker 17: sorry for the person that is abusing you were like
- 37:32Speaker 17: just some sort of like savior, like you want to
- 37:34Speaker 17: save them from like whatever the consequence may because you're
- 37:36Speaker 17: trying to figure out like why it's happening or whatever
- 37:39Speaker 17: the case may be. I know he had tried to
- 37:40Speaker 17: call and reach out to you to have you say
- 37:42Speaker 17: he didn't do certain things. Was there ever a moment
- 37:44Speaker 17: where you thought like it would be best for me
- 37:47Speaker 17: to just be quiet about this.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely, because I because he was a soul Pavada
- 37:53Speaker 3: fire household. So I thought about it. I was like,
- 37:57Speaker 3: now he in jail, like I'm gonna take him myself.
- 38:00Speaker 3: So I became homeless. So I thought about it. But
- 38:03Speaker 3: then I just said to myself, now I'm not doing that,
- 38:07Speaker 3: like I'm not gonna do that, like it's gonna be
- 38:09Speaker 3: it's whatever at this point. And so you know, and
- 38:12Speaker 3: I speak about it in the book, you know how
- 38:14Speaker 3: his mom had written a letter and shot my name
- 38:18Speaker 3: and said that I had shot myself ten times.
- 38:21Speaker 2: What how difficult is it to have these conversations?
- 38:24Speaker 1: I mean, because you know when I when I see
- 38:26Speaker 1: your story, and you know, there's certain things I want
- 38:28Speaker 1: to ask. I don't want to trigger you. So how
- 38:31Speaker 1: difficult is it to have these conversations?
- 38:34Speaker 4: You can ask me whatever?
- 38:35Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, if this is if this is a safe space,
- 38:38Speaker 3: you can ask me whatever.
- 38:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean just talking about it, and you know,
- 38:42Speaker 1: you got to relive it because you had to rewrite,
- 38:43Speaker 1: you know, you had to write the book. And then
- 38:44Speaker 1: you know, now you ask me being asked questions. But
- 38:47Speaker 1: you know, you were shot ten times and you were
- 38:49Speaker 1: left for dead while you were five months pregnant. They
- 38:51Speaker 1: said it went it went on for an hour.
- 38:53Speaker 2: And a half.
- 38:55Speaker 3: I don't I don't know how long it went on, honestly,
- 38:57Speaker 3: because I was in an hour. I don't know. I
- 39:01Speaker 3: just you know that part was told to me by
- 39:04Speaker 3: the day by the Ada, who now is one of
- 39:06Speaker 3: my good friends.
- 39:07Speaker 5: Were still kicking it with Katrina Brownly her new book,
- 39:10Speaker 5: and then came The Blues, My story of survival on
- 39:13Speaker 5: both sides of the badge.
- 39:14Speaker 1: Charlamagne, how did you rebuild your identity after all of
- 39:19Speaker 1: this happened, after being homeless, after you know, having to
- 39:22Speaker 1: break down after being shot and left for dead? Like,
- 39:25Speaker 1: how did you just rebuild your identity even become the
- 39:29Speaker 1: detective that you became and you were part.
- 39:30Speaker 2: Of the mayor of security detailers.
- 39:32Speaker 3: Yeah, A lot, a lot, a lot of therapy, a
- 39:36Speaker 3: lot of therapy and a lot of God that that
- 39:40Speaker 3: that is what helped me and just the will that
- 39:44Speaker 3: God had given me to just want to live. And
- 39:48Speaker 3: when you get the will to live, then it's that
- 39:51Speaker 3: light on the wall right there up in the ceiling
- 39:54Speaker 3: and you follow that light and you low that light
- 39:58Speaker 3: to continue to go, and that's your strength, and that's
- 40:01Speaker 3: your power, and then you get your power back. And
- 40:06Speaker 3: so that's what it was for me, because that's that's
- 40:09Speaker 3: all I had.
- 40:10Speaker 2: Do you truly forgive somebody when they do something they
- 40:12Speaker 2: hate us to you?
- 40:13Speaker 3: I had to because I was angry.
- 40:15Speaker 4: I was so bitter. I was better.
- 40:19Speaker 3: And when you better at that level, it.
- 40:25Speaker 2: Is some tissue, Brandon.
- 40:28Speaker 3: When you better at that level, thank you. If you
- 40:33Speaker 3: do not forgive, you become a product of that. And
- 40:38Speaker 3: I just did not want to be that. I was
- 40:42Speaker 3: broken long enough. And in order for you to get
- 40:47Speaker 3: into a situation like that, it had to be a
- 40:51Speaker 3: story that happened.
- 40:53Speaker 8: We don't.
- 40:54Speaker 3: We don't wake up and get into these relationships. So
- 40:58Speaker 3: I came from trans generational trauma and that's how I
- 41:05Speaker 3: wind up in a situation where a man shoots me
- 41:07Speaker 3: ten times and abuse me.
- 41:11Speaker 17: Talk a bit about the chapter until we meet again.
- 41:15Speaker 17: We talk about your mom and you talk about just
- 41:18Speaker 17: you know, how everything that you went through made you
- 41:20Speaker 17: treat just being able to wake up and live every
- 41:22Speaker 17: single day. Why was it important for you to include
- 41:24Speaker 17: that chapter in the book.
- 41:28Speaker 3: I did not have a relationship with my mother, so
- 41:35Speaker 3: when she died, it was like I got robbed, like
- 41:39Speaker 3: totally robbed, and I will never know what it feels
- 41:43Speaker 3: like to have a mother. So I just felt that
- 41:47Speaker 3: it was important to just speak about that because I
- 41:52Speaker 3: know that I'm not the only one that's out there,
- 41:54Speaker 3: and this book is not just for me. It's for
- 41:58Speaker 3: all people that can be able to relate to my story,
- 42:04Speaker 3: and I just hope that it inspired people. I hope
- 42:07Speaker 3: it can change people life. And I just hope that
- 42:11Speaker 3: even for people that are abuses, that they can go
- 42:16Speaker 3: get help because abuses, they're broken and mental health is real.
- 42:24Speaker 1: What was the emotional turning point in the writing process
- 42:27Speaker 1: of this book that that just made you feel like
- 42:30Speaker 1: a little lighter.
- 42:33Speaker 3: Because I wasn't able to really tell the story.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I wasn't it.
- 42:36Speaker 3: So it was like this was so it was like
- 42:39Speaker 3: I'm finally getting everything out now, Like it was like
- 42:45Speaker 3: I'm being honest, like being constipated like for for so
- 42:50Speaker 3: many years. There you go right there, there, you go
- 42:54Speaker 3: right there that part, and so that's what I'm telling you,
- 42:57Speaker 3: That's exactly how I felt, And it felt so good
- 43:02Speaker 3: and it feels good to be able to now be
- 43:05Speaker 3: able to speak my truth and be able to tell
- 43:08Speaker 3: the story. Even I had friends that I had been
- 43:11Speaker 3: friends with for so many years that didn't even know
- 43:13Speaker 3: my story. And so you sit out with your girlfriends,
- 43:16Speaker 3: you hang out with them, you travel with them, and
- 43:18Speaker 3: they don't even know who you really are, and you
- 43:21Speaker 3: living in this bubble this world because you can't. You
- 43:27Speaker 3: can't really tell because if I would have told and
- 43:31Speaker 3: somebody told the police department, they would have fined me
- 43:36Speaker 3: because they wouldn't have want that stigma.
- 43:38Speaker 1: When you became an officer that you have more empathy
- 43:41Speaker 1: for law enforcement, Like did you realize why they were
- 43:44Speaker 1: the way they were?
- 43:45Speaker 8: Oh?
- 43:45Speaker 3: Absolutely, Okay, let me tell you something that people don't know.
- 43:51Speaker 3: The cops they get abused by the higher ups there.
- 43:56Speaker 3: They could I'm telling you, they could abuse. So if
- 44:00Speaker 3: you that's just like if you abuse your child, right,
- 44:05Speaker 3: a lot of times your child becomes an abuser. So
- 44:08Speaker 3: that's all it is.
- 44:10Speaker 2: They don't get treated well there.
- 44:12Speaker 3: So now if I'm not getting treated well, I'm gonna
- 44:15Speaker 3: go out here and protect and serf, I'm gonna go
- 44:16Speaker 3: out there and protect and be kind to people. When
- 44:19Speaker 3: I'm not even being kind at home the police. That's
- 44:22Speaker 3: your home, right, you there to protecting serf you did,
- 44:26Speaker 3: and to go out there and do your job. But
- 44:31Speaker 3: if you if you're being beat down and you're being
- 44:34Speaker 3: told you a loser, and you're being told that you
- 44:35Speaker 3: ain't right enough Summerson or you ain't lock enough people up,
- 44:41Speaker 3: and then you get in trouble and if you tell,
- 44:43Speaker 3: and if you snitch, the consequences. So how can you
- 44:48Speaker 3: go out there and really be effective?
- 44:52Speaker 17: What about the stuff that you were seeing aside, Like
- 44:54Speaker 17: you talked about like the Chocolate team and the Vanilla team, Yeah,
- 44:57Speaker 17: in the different neighborhoods they will go to. That's right,
- 45:00Speaker 17: and it's well, I guess you should explain it for people,
- 45:03Speaker 17: the difference between the teams. And then I wanted to
- 45:05Speaker 17: ask you about you going to your boss and saying, hey,
- 45:08Speaker 17: they're doing the legal searches.
- 45:09Speaker 8: You need to figure that out. And the boss was like,
- 45:10Speaker 8: I'm cool.
- 45:12Speaker 3: Ye're the Chocolate team, but the black team and the
- 45:14Speaker 3: Vanilla team was the Caucasian team and.
- 45:17Speaker 17: They went to So like, y'all are in different neighborhoods
- 45:20Speaker 17: or whatever you decide to you see something that you
- 45:21Speaker 17: know is not right, you decide to go to your
- 45:23Speaker 17: higher up your higher up sets. I'm not disturbing my
- 45:25Speaker 17: pension to correct a bad cop.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Right because a lot of times, if you would tell
- 45:31Speaker 3: its consequences, it's real. It is really real, and this
- 45:37Speaker 3: is your life. You're talking about cops kill theyself all
- 45:41Speaker 3: the time, where you think they killing theyself for they
- 45:44Speaker 3: ain't killing theyself because because they ain't getting enough money
- 45:49Speaker 3: or enough love. They're killing theirself because it's real in
- 45:52Speaker 3: there a lot of guilt and they can't be who
- 45:55Speaker 3: they want to be. They can't be their authentic self
- 45:57Speaker 3: bit so they got to be somebody else and sometimes
- 46:01Speaker 3: people can't handle that.
- 46:02Speaker 8: Everybody mental health level is different.
- 46:06Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been having that conversation a lot lately, Like
- 46:09Speaker 1: I feel like police officers should have, uh should have
- 46:13Speaker 1: to deal with mental health professionals, like literally every every year,
- 46:17Speaker 1: every week, Like they should be sitting down with mental
- 46:19Speaker 1: health professionals.
- 46:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 46:21Speaker 3: Absolutely, Yeah, they have some hotline called Popper, but I
- 46:25Speaker 3: don't even think that those are those are people that
- 46:28Speaker 3: are actually equipped to be able to deal with the
- 46:32Speaker 3: trauma that police officers face every day.
- 46:36Speaker 4: That should be you.
- 46:36Speaker 3: You make sure that it's mandatory training for all these
- 46:40Speaker 3: other different things that don't really matter. But why you
- 46:43Speaker 3: don't have mandatory mental health training for your police officers
- 46:46Speaker 3: so they can be suited and booted and in a
- 46:49Speaker 3: in a good mental state to be out there to
- 46:52Speaker 3: go out there to fight and be able to really
- 46:54Speaker 3: protect and serve, right, right, So, if you want to
- 46:57Speaker 3: have a great police department, you gotta have a great
- 47:00Speaker 3: police apartment, and they got to be able to have integrity.
- 47:04Speaker 3: You got to be able to have police said, police
- 47:07Speaker 3: officers be able to just really show up for someone.
- 47:11Speaker 3: That's why I didn't want to be a domestic violence officer.
- 47:13Speaker 3: I was like, I'm not going there and go to
- 47:18Speaker 3: a call and it's a domestic violence officer, and what
- 47:21Speaker 3: I'm gonna really do for her or what I'm gonna
- 47:23Speaker 3: really do for him? Come on, it ain't it ain't
- 47:26Speaker 3: it ain't. The system ain't get to help us like that,
- 47:30Speaker 3: especially people that look like us.
- 47:33Speaker 17: Do you even now and share your story in the book,
- 47:35Speaker 17: you talked about switching units because of like just fear
- 47:37Speaker 17: of the things that were happening or whatever, And.
- 47:40Speaker 2: What part are you talking about?
- 47:41Speaker 17: You talked about you said, y'all arrested. I think it
- 47:44Speaker 17: was like one hundred and forty five hundred and forty
- 47:45Speaker 17: seven people. It was like buses of people. And you
- 47:47Speaker 17: were saying that like being in arcotics was getting a
- 47:49Speaker 17: little like you were fearing for your safety. Oh yeah,
- 47:51Speaker 17: Do you feel for your safety now because you're talking
- 47:53Speaker 17: about all this stuff?
- 47:54Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I trust God, you know, I believe
- 48:00Speaker 3: that he has me on an assignment and whatever is
- 48:03Speaker 3: gonna be, it's gonna be.
- 48:04Speaker 2: I'm telling the truth.
- 48:06Speaker 3: I'm telling the truth, and I am here on whatever
- 48:11Speaker 3: platform to be able to speak the truth. And so
- 48:15Speaker 3: we got to stop lying to people, you know, we
- 48:18Speaker 3: got to stop lying like we're.
- 48:21Speaker 2: Not we're not being real with people.
- 48:26Speaker 3: Let's stop lying. Let's start telling the truth, and let's
- 48:29Speaker 3: start really showing up. And if we're not showing up,
- 48:33Speaker 3: the shut up.
- 48:34Speaker 5: Was still kicking it with Katrina Brownlea her new book,
- 48:36Speaker 5: and then came The Blues, My Story of Survival on
- 48:39Speaker 5: both sides of the Badge Charlamagne.
- 48:42Speaker 1: You spoke about how you know you forgave your ex
- 48:45Speaker 1: fiance because you didn't want to have that bitterness in you.
- 48:48Speaker 1: Did you also have some maybe some empathy for him
- 48:51Speaker 1: because you know how he became that way.
- 48:53Speaker 3: Maybe I have empathy for him because he a broken
- 48:56Speaker 3: man in pieces he ain't made he is he was
- 49:02Speaker 3: never made of anything, no substance to him as a man.
- 49:05Speaker 3: Any man that can put his hands on a woman
- 49:10Speaker 3: and you shoot her and you beat her and you
- 49:13Speaker 3: murder your child, what does what is he made of?
- 49:18Speaker 3: Absolutely nothing? You have to have empathy for him.
- 49:23Speaker 2: Do you think abuses need rehabilitation of jail time?
- 49:27Speaker 3: I think both.
- 49:28Speaker 2: I think both.
- 49:30Speaker 3: While you in there, you should be able to get
- 49:33Speaker 3: your help, your healing, whatever it is that you need.
- 49:38Speaker 3: Because if you put him in prison and you don't
- 49:41Speaker 3: do nothing with them, or they come out and be
- 49:44Speaker 3: a worse savage than they already was.
- 49:47Speaker 8: I was like, ask, how do you deal with your
- 49:49Speaker 8: day to day now? Because like where is he?
- 49:50Speaker 4: Like what is he?
- 49:51Speaker 2: I have no idea, I have no idea. You still
- 49:55Speaker 2: live in fear of him?
- 49:57Speaker 3: Absolutely not, absolutely not.
- 49:59Speaker 4: I fear no one for God.
- 50:01Speaker 1: You know the title of your book alludes to the blues, right,
- 50:04Speaker 1: and you think of blues, you think of like the music,
- 50:07Speaker 1: the music? What does blues mean to you? And how
- 50:10Speaker 1: did they reflect you know? Your journey from trauma to hill.
- 50:13Speaker 3: And then came the blues is my life, and then
- 50:18Speaker 3: the NYPD life. Those are the blues, and then the
- 50:21Speaker 3: blues of my life. My life was blues on top
- 50:24Speaker 3: of blues.
- 50:27Speaker 2: What color is it now? Hah white?
- 50:32Speaker 4: That's right.
- 50:33Speaker 1: You feel like you definitely came out on the other side.
- 50:37Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. I've never been in a
- 50:42Speaker 3: better place. I have finally found peace. And when you
- 50:45Speaker 3: get peace, you will never allow anybody else to disrupt
- 50:51Speaker 3: that piece. I'm walking peace, I live peace.
- 50:56Speaker 2: Do you remember the exact moment like you felt it?
- 50:58Speaker 19: Like?
- 51:00Speaker 2: Man, I feel free, I feel peace.
- 51:02Speaker 3: When I left City Hall that day and I retired, Wow,
- 51:08Speaker 3: I'm telling you, it was like a light just came
- 51:11Speaker 3: over on me.
- 51:12Speaker 7: Wow.
- 51:13Speaker 3: And the ada that was on my cage at the time.
- 51:18Speaker 3: She was there at my walkout and we were leaving,
- 51:24Speaker 3: and she said, I've been waiting to send this post.
- 51:29Speaker 3: Do I have your approval to now tell the world
- 51:33Speaker 3: what happened to you? And I said absolutely. And when
- 51:37Speaker 3: she'd pressed thing.
- 51:39Speaker 17: It was it, was there ever a moment of like
- 51:44Speaker 17: when you had to testify in court rate her decided
- 51:47Speaker 17: to Was there ever a moment for you where you
- 51:50Speaker 17: thought you felt that piece that you're talking about. But
- 51:53Speaker 17: then later on, I guess you realize that you're finally here,
- 51:55Speaker 17: like cause I would think maybe that would bring you
- 51:57Speaker 17: some sort of closure or piece as well too.
- 51:59Speaker 4: Or no, you mean testify with my.
- 52:03Speaker 3: I never got a chance to testify.
- 52:05Speaker 8: Oh so when you showed up the court, they didn't
- 52:06Speaker 8: put you on the stand when I showed up in
- 52:08Speaker 8: the court.
- 52:09Speaker 3: When I showed up in the courtroom, he turned around
- 52:12Speaker 3: and saw me because he thought that he had that
- 52:15Speaker 3: intimidated me enough that I would not come from jail
- 52:19Speaker 3: right to come to court. And when I walked in
- 52:24Speaker 3: and he saw me, he whispered to his attorney, and
- 52:27Speaker 3: the next thing I know, they took me back out
- 52:29Speaker 3: of the courtroom. And the next thing I knew.
- 52:34Speaker 4: That like guilty.
- 52:37Speaker 1: Because you came to the first you told the DA
- 52:39Speaker 1: he was going to disappear, right, Yeah, I told her
- 52:41Speaker 1: I was disappeared.
- 52:42Speaker 3: And then in the trial because she told me that
- 52:44Speaker 3: she was gonna hump me down or something like a dog.
- 52:47Speaker 8: I can't remember what she told me.
- 52:48Speaker 3: She empty she had told me she was like that
- 52:51Speaker 3: is you're going to show and I'm like, for what,
- 52:54Speaker 3: nothing's going to happen to him? And everything that I
- 52:58Speaker 3: said was going to happen, it happened.
- 53:02Speaker 7: Wow.
- 53:03Speaker 3: And that's when people read the book, you will see
- 53:06Speaker 3: every single thing. How does a man shoot someone ten
- 53:14Speaker 3: times kill their child and all you give them is
- 53:19Speaker 3: five to fifteen?
- 53:21Speaker 2: Tell me how that works.
- 53:23Speaker 1: Because you're a black woman. Number one, Number two because
- 53:26Speaker 1: he was part of the law enforcement.
- 53:28Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, man, that part.
- 53:32Speaker 17: Have any of the officers that showed up those times
- 53:34Speaker 17: when you did reach out to the police come back
- 53:37Speaker 17: and been like we should have done more and say
- 53:40Speaker 17: that sorry anything.
- 53:42Speaker 4: Let me tell you.
- 53:44Speaker 3: When when when the story first drop, anonymous caller called me.
- 53:51Speaker 3: A lot of anonymous police officers were calling me and saying,
- 53:54Speaker 3: you're a hero. I wish that I had the strength
- 53:56Speaker 3: to do what you're doing. Thank you for being a voice.
- 53:59Speaker 3: But I had one called me and he said, I'm
- 54:01Speaker 3: not sure if I'm the officer that responded to you,
- 54:07Speaker 3: because I worked at the eight one at that time.
- 54:09Speaker 3: He said, but I want to say to you that
- 54:11Speaker 3: I apologize if I am. He said, I'm not going
- 54:14Speaker 3: to tell you my name. I believe he told me
- 54:17Speaker 3: he was either captain or and inspector at the time
- 54:19Speaker 3: that he retired. And he retired and he had moved
- 54:21Speaker 3: to Florida, and he said, I just want to tell
- 54:24Speaker 3: you that I apologize to you.
- 54:27Speaker 2: And hung up the phone.
- 54:28Speaker 4: Did that do anything for you?
- 54:31Speaker 12: I just broke down tears because I said, maybe had
- 54:39Speaker 12: you did something, maybe this wouldn't have happened to my life.
- 54:43Speaker 3: But he never gave me a chance to say anything.
- 54:48Speaker 1: You know, he said, everybody got to have a testimony, right,
- 54:50Speaker 1: because if you didn't have that testimony, you.
- 54:52Speaker 2: Wouldn't be where you are now. But damn, you have
- 54:57Speaker 2: to go through all of that.
- 54:58Speaker 1: You have to the organization Our Young Ladies of Our Future,
- 55:01Speaker 1: which is a nonprofit organization that serves at risk young women,
- 55:05Speaker 1: and you have Can't be Silenced, an organization working on
- 55:08Speaker 1: solutions to the urgent domestic violence crisis.
- 55:11Speaker 2: What made you want to start both those organizations?
- 55:13Speaker 3: Well, Young Ladies of Our Future. I wanted to start
- 55:18Speaker 3: that because I never wanted any young girl, young lady
- 55:23Speaker 3: to ever have to endure what I haven't done. So
- 55:27Speaker 3: if I could just be able to pour into them
- 55:31Speaker 3: and be able to change their lives and make a difference,
- 55:33Speaker 3: in their life. I just wanted to be able to
- 55:36Speaker 3: do that. So that was the purpose of that. And
- 55:40Speaker 3: I teach workshops just about self esteem, self awareness, a
- 55:46Speaker 3: whole leap of things, and there can't be silence. Peace
- 55:49Speaker 3: was because I had to be silenced for so long
- 55:53Speaker 3: and now I have a voice, and I am the
- 55:55Speaker 3: voice for the voiceless and the hope for the hopeless.
- 55:59Speaker 8: That is why ending your story in the book, I
- 56:03Speaker 8: turned to the last page.
- 56:05Speaker 4: In your book.
- 56:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I want that to be a surprise, okay,
- 56:10Speaker 3: because I thought only.
- 56:12Speaker 2: Lauren would give away the ending of the.
- 56:13Speaker 8: Book because because it's so sweet.
- 56:18Speaker 17: Well, okay, you're right, I think for most people, because
- 56:21Speaker 17: they hear all of this and then they're wondering, like, well,
- 56:22Speaker 17: what is your personal life?
- 56:23Speaker 3: I want people to know that dreams do come true
- 56:26Speaker 3: and that don't ever give up on your dream. Don't
- 56:29Speaker 3: ever give up on yourself, because look what happened for me,
- 56:37Speaker 3: and if God can do it for me, he can
- 56:39Speaker 3: do it for you.
- 56:40Speaker 1: If people want to sign up for your seminars or
- 56:42Speaker 1: you know, be a part of the young Ladies of
- 56:44Speaker 1: our future, I can't be silenced.

- 57:29Speaker 5: the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest with Lauren.
- 57:32Speaker 18: Lauren becoming a straight fash.
- 57:35Speaker 2: She gets them from somebody that knows somebody.
- 57:38Speaker 8: I'm a long girl that knows a little bit about everything.
- 57:41Speaker 2: She'd be having the latest on you.
- 57:43Speaker 7: The latest with Lauren la Rosa.
- 57:46Speaker 1: Sometimes you have.
- 57:47Speaker 2: Facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a little
- 57:49Speaker 2: bit of everything.
- 57:50Speaker 7: On the Breakfast Club.
- 57:53Speaker 17: Social Kari Richardson has come out and she spoke on
- 57:58Speaker 17: the domestic violence a right that we saw go down
- 58:01Speaker 17: last week and took some accountability for different things.
- 58:04Speaker 8: Let's take a listen to Chakari here, y'all.
- 58:06Speaker 21: It' sh to carry care and more than anything, definitely
- 58:11Speaker 21: a lot of self reflection, a lot of understanding of
- 58:15Speaker 21: not only putting myself in a compromise situation, but somebody
- 58:18Speaker 21: that I have a deep care and appreciation for as
- 58:21Speaker 21: will is something that holding myself accountable. I'm taking this
- 58:24Speaker 21: time to not only see myself, to get myself a
- 58:28Speaker 21: certain level of help that overall is gonna reflect who
- 58:31Speaker 21: I truly am in my heart and my spirit. I'm
- 58:34Speaker 21: gonna be more, not even just for myself, for my family,
- 58:39Speaker 21: for my fans, and overly appreciating y'all supporting me and
- 58:42Speaker 21: showing up and even holding me accountable to being my
- 58:46Speaker 21: best self. I refuse to run away but face everything
- 58:52Speaker 21: that comes to me head on, because everything on the
- 58:54Speaker 21: other side is greater.
- 58:55Speaker 4: But you gotta go through.
- 58:56Speaker 7: You know what you get there.
- 58:57Speaker 8: So I appreciate y'all.
- 58:58Speaker 21: Andy'll be blessed.
- 59:00Speaker 8: My bad girl should carry her. She hates when people
- 59:01Speaker 8: get her name wrong.
- 59:02Speaker 1: She corrected you, Yes, I love that.
- 59:05Speaker 17: But yes, so she spoke out. I thought that this
- 59:07Speaker 17: was very admirable of her. Because when the story broke,
- 59:11Speaker 17: of course she's at the top. Everybody knows her. She's
- 59:13Speaker 17: a huge weld, famous athlete people. You know, when something
- 59:16Speaker 17: sort like this breaks, it spreads so fast, and a
- 59:19Speaker 17: lot of times, you know, teams and the organizations they
- 59:22Speaker 17: don't comment and they tell the athletes to say nothing
- 59:25Speaker 17: and just let it go away. So when she posted
- 59:27Speaker 17: this video last night, I was like, oh, wow, she's
- 59:29Speaker 17: so human. I feel like we've been grown with her
- 59:31Speaker 17: throughout her career, and this is one of those moments
- 59:33Speaker 17: where we're grown with her through something that we saw
- 59:35Speaker 17: happen in real time.
- 59:35Speaker 1: I respect the fact that she acknowledged her behavior, but
- 59:38Speaker 1: I just want the record the show. It is a
- 59:39Speaker 1: double standing because if a man did something like that
- 59:41Speaker 1: at the airport and then turned around and just did
- 59:43Speaker 1: a little video like that, y'all would.
- 59:44Speaker 2: Be dragging him to hell.
- 59:46Speaker 1: Crazy right now, you would be on this radio sounding
- 59:48Speaker 1: so understanding about the situation gone.
- 59:52Speaker 17: We don't know what she might have lost behind the scenes.
- 59:54Speaker 17: You have no idea there was a video that came out.
- 59:56Speaker 17: You saw it on video.
- 59:57Speaker 8: We don't know.
- 59:58Speaker 2: If Lauren don't know, then somebody lying.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: Okay, you gotta point that sponsorship would have jumped out
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: of the window, and since we had no longer work
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: that there is a double standard.
- 1:00:09Speaker 17: There is a double stander because I will say when
- 1:00:11Speaker 17: I saw the headline last weekend, for those of you
- 1:00:13Speaker 17: guys who don't know what happened, just really quickly and video. Yes,
- 1:00:16Speaker 17: so Shakari Sha Carrie and her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, who's
- 1:00:19Speaker 17: a sprinter, they were in an airport and the authorities
- 1:00:23Speaker 17: in the airport were called because there was a They
- 1:00:26Speaker 17: said that, oh, there's a disservice between these two people.
- 1:00:28Speaker 17: And the video that was released after the story came out,
- 1:00:31Speaker 17: you see she Carrie, He's trying to like get around
- 1:00:33Speaker 17: her and I almost like walk away from her, but
- 1:00:35Speaker 17: she's like she shoves them into a wall and like
- 1:00:37Speaker 17: she throws something. They said that it was headphones that
- 1:00:39Speaker 17: she threw. So of course the police support was taken
- 1:00:42Speaker 17: and you know, she was she was arrested and all
- 1:00:44Speaker 17: the things. But yeah, I thought we were going to
- 1:00:47Speaker 17: hear you know, sponsorship conversations and all all that stuff
- 1:00:50Speaker 17: as well, and then the next thing I saw was
- 1:00:52Speaker 17: this video.
- 1:00:53Speaker 8: I do acknowledge the double standards stand because.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: I'm telling you so guy would have did that it
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: had been World War three on social media and then
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: the day to put out an apology like that, y'a
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: wouldn't even be accepting.
- 1:01:04Speaker 3: And then to be honest with you, lessen, let tell
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: you something what they used to be? Me h, not
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: the airport, but fighting them niggas.

- 1:06:14Speaker 1: Y'all don ky Today for Tuesday, August twelfth, goes to
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: a thirty two year old man named Anthony Smith, Now,
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: Anthony Smith is a party wedding DJ from Florida. Have
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: you heard of him with envy?
- 1:06:25Speaker 6: I have not.
- 1:06:25Speaker 1: Okay, Well, what does your uncle Shaula always say about
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: the great state of Florida. The craziest people in America
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: come from the Bronxon all of Florida, and today is
- 1:06:33Speaker 1: no exception. Now let me give you some background story
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: on Anthony. Anthony ladies and gettlemen, according to him, suffers
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: from some sort of sexual addiction, and engaging in lewd
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: behavior arouses him. He was convicted in twenty seventeen of
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: indecent exposure and resisting arrest after he was spotted neked
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: in pleasuring himself in public.
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: Anthony says he does.
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: This because pornographic materials do not suffice his sexual desires.
- 1:06:59Speaker 1: And this is important for all your religious folks. Okay, Christians,
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: I need to listen, need you to listen up. He
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: says he does not want to violate his morals by
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: having sexual relations before marriage, are by using a female
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: solely for sexual purposes. I think it's pretty a moral
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: to be Buttonnecker in public shaking hands with the milkman.
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: But we listen, Okay, we don't judge. Anthony Smith was
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: sent us to six months in jail okay in twenty seventeen,
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: and he's been arrested twice in the past for debugging
- 1:07:25Speaker 1: his hard driving public. Well, Anthony just got arrested again
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: for indecent exposure okay. The actual charge was exposure of
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: sexual organs and resisting arrest in Florida, both of misdemeanors.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Would you like to know what Anthony Smith did now?
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: I can't wait to tell you.
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: Well.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: On last Thursday, Florida police found Anthony Smith walking around
- 1:07:46Speaker 1: of Florida Park wearing women's lingerie, the bottoms of which
- 1:07:52Speaker 1: were of the throng variety, and Anthony's genitals, his maniconta,
- 1:07:56Speaker 1: his trouser snake.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: His d Wayne Rod johnsonsed. He also was wearing fake breast.
- 1:08:02Speaker 2: He also had on a wig of long black hair.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: He had a black mask around his face, and he
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: had a penis ring that is used for arousal purposes
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: as well as to maintain erections.
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: He had on a black foxtail. He thought he was
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: the fantastic mister fox Well.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: The black foxtail, according to the police report, was protruding
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: from his posterior.
- 1:08:24Speaker 2: Meaning it was hanging out of his ass.
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: Okay, but a pun further examination, and I would love
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: to have a discussion with whoever did that examination. But
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: a pun further examination, the bushy tail turned out to
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: be attached to.
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: A rectal plug that was inserted in his anus.
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: He had a.
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: Now we all know foxes.
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: We all know foxes are very challenging to catch. So
- 1:08:47Speaker 1: Anthony did try to get away, but he got caught.
- 1:08:50Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: They discovered him an inside Indian Riverside park and he
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: was eventually caught near a children's museum. Now, thankfully no
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: children were present to witness this freaky fox, but that
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: doesn't make what he did any less egregious. Okay, Now,
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: clearly this man is dealing with some type of mental issues.
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: But the reason my empathy doesn't get activated for this
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: guy is because of how he described his situation to
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: the police. I told you earlier. He told police he
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: suffers from some sort of sexual addiction. He acknowledges all
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: of his previous run ins with the law because of
- 1:09:21Speaker 1: the sexual addiction. He knows that regular porn doesn't satisfy
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: his sexual desires, and he said he doesn't want to
- 1:09:27Speaker 1: violate his morals by having sex before marriage or by
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: using a female solely for sexual purposes. Well, Anthony, if
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: you are aware of all that, then you are also
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: aware of your behavior. Okay, your moral compass is clearly
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: broke if you think sex before marriage and not wanting
- 1:09:46Speaker 1: to use a woman just for sex are morally incorrect,
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: but putting a foxtail between your cheeks and buffing your
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: vampious slayer in public is morally correct. Okay. If you
- 1:09:56Speaker 1: are aware of what your problems are and you do
- 1:09:59Speaker 1: nothing to even attempt to correct them, I don't have
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: empathy for you. Okay. If you can afford anal plugs
- 1:10:05Speaker 1: and penis rings and foxtails and thongs, then you can
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: afford some type of therapy for your sex addiction. Not
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: to mention, it's so many kinky ass sex clubs you
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: can join where you can dress like that and just
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: parade all around the club like that. I would have
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: googled some for you myself this morning, but I don't
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: want that in my search history.
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:10:27Speaker 1: All I'm saying is a man who has listened to
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: me being a man who has listened to years of
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: horrible decisions with Mandy and Weezy Now Decisions Decisions, as
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: well as reading in New York Times bestselling book No
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: Holds Bard. I know that there is a lot of
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: ways to express your freaky safely and legally in America.
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: You wasn't looking for a safe space to let your
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: freak flag fly because you enjoy letting your freak flag
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: fly in public.
- 1:10:54Speaker 2: You know exactly what you're doing and why you're doing it.
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: Because if you simply wanted to be outside wearing a
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: foxtail like Scissa at the opening of the.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: Grand National Tour, I guarantee you there's a resort for that.
- 1:11:06Speaker 1: Once again, I'm not googling it because I don't want
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: to in my search history, Anthony, you've been arrested more
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: than three times, and I bet you tell that story
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: about having a sex addiction all the time.
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something, sir.
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: If you have to talk to more than three people
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: about the same same problem and you don't want help,
- 1:11:21Speaker 1: you want attention, and what you need to get is help.
- 1:11:25Speaker 2: Please give Anthony Smith the biggest he hull no he
- 1:11:36Speaker 2: want to say.
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: If I'm bricked up, I bet you still right now
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: your here.
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: When he was going through the details. You did say
- 1:11:47Speaker 8: this is good?
- 1:11:48Speaker 4: You did?
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: I bet you because it's interesting for your phone, because
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: just turn your phone around like this, Just do it,
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: show your phone Anthony Smith, Google, but I did.
- 1:12:00Speaker 2: I did think the reason I said it was good.
- 1:12:02Speaker 5: Could you imagine the cops having to chase him, yes, hilarious,
- 1:12:07Speaker 5: take him down and then arrest him. I love to

- 1:16:19Speaker 1: the crime rate is just through the roof right in DC.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: Why do you think this is happening, Medbalsam, Well, I mean.
- 1:16:26Speaker 13: Trump had The President has had a long fascination with
- 1:16:30Speaker 13: d C. He left d C during the height of COVID,
- 1:16:35Speaker 13: and I think he had a picture of homelessness that
- 1:16:39Speaker 13: has struck with him. You heard him on the campaign
- 1:16:42Speaker 13: trail talking about d C, and in a lot of ways,
- 1:16:45Speaker 13: d C is a proxy for American cities, and his
- 1:16:50Speaker 13: administration has taken a very aggressive stance against American cities.
- 1:16:58Speaker 13: He thinks that people in cities don't support him. He's
- 1:17:02Speaker 13: very aware of the number of people that voted for
- 1:17:05Speaker 13: him in DC, and so he has taken an aggressive stance.
- 1:17:10Speaker 13: I heard some of what you've said. The numbers just
- 1:17:13Speaker 13: don't justify the action. We have seen a precipitous lessening
- 1:17:21Speaker 13: of crime in the city, violent crime, especially after a
- 1:17:25Speaker 13: post COVID spike that we acknowledge and we got after
- 1:17:29Speaker 13: and we drove down the numbers in twenty twenty three.
- 1:17:32Speaker 13: We reported last year the lowest level of violent crime
- 1:17:36Speaker 13: in thirty years. So we're not taking our foot off
- 1:17:39Speaker 13: the grad gas. We're continuing to work. But we think
- 1:17:43Speaker 13: that this action kind of plays into his narrative about cities,
- 1:17:49Speaker 13: about using force, about being tough on crime. And I
- 1:17:53Speaker 13: can say a little bit more about why DC is different,
- 1:17:55Speaker 13: but it's times like this when America needs to know
- 1:17:59Speaker 13: why your names capital, a place where seven hundred thousand
- 1:18:02Speaker 13: tax paying Americans live, should be the fifty first state.
- 1:18:05Speaker 5: Now, Mayor, you know, a lot of we're talking to
- 1:18:07Speaker 5: Mayor Murriel Bowser from the mayor of d C. Now,
- 1:18:10Speaker 5: a lot of people say, well, you know, well, maybe
- 1:18:12Speaker 5: it's needed. You know, when they look at different cities,
- 1:18:15Speaker 5: it does look beat up. Sometimes it does look dirty.
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: And I see Trump made an analogy of something about
- 1:18:19Speaker 5: he was like when I go to a restaurant with
- 1:18:20Speaker 5: my dad and when my dad says it sees that
- 1:18:23Speaker 5: the door of the restaurant is dirty, we know not
- 1:18:25Speaker 5: to go there. And that's how people look at d C.
- 1:18:28Speaker 5: So what do you say to those people that said, well,
- 1:18:29Speaker 5: maybe it is needed, maybe we do need to clean
- 1:18:31Speaker 5: it up a little bit. What do you say, that's
- 1:18:33Speaker 5: not that's not crime them.
- 1:18:35Speaker 13: And it's also not how people look at d C.
- 1:18:37Speaker 13: When people come to d C elected officials, leaders of
- 1:18:42Speaker 13: nations that he likes to point to, they meet with
- 1:18:44Speaker 13: me as well, and they tell me how beautiful the
- 1:18:47Speaker 13: city is, how green the city is, how they were
- 1:18:50Speaker 13: surprised at how many parks and wide avenues that the city.
- 1:18:55Speaker 13: Keep in mind, this is the nation's capital, built on
- 1:18:58Speaker 13: Lnefont's plan, that is and magnificent and beautiful city. So
- 1:19:04Speaker 13: this idea that DC is dirty is obviously there are
- 1:19:09Speaker 13: places where people liter and we clean up. We have
- 1:19:12Speaker 13: some of the best city services of any city in America.
- 1:19:16Speaker 13: Our Department of Public Works is on top of cleanliness,
- 1:19:21Speaker 13: and our partnership with the federal government is always welcome
- 1:19:26Speaker 13: on issues.
- 1:19:27Speaker 4: That we share.
- 1:19:28Speaker 13: Keep in mind that the Fads own more property in
- 1:19:32Speaker 13: d C than they own in most places, including the
- 1:19:35Speaker 13: National Parks, the Pocket Parks, the Circle parks where we
- 1:19:40Speaker 13: have seen some of the homeless problem, and where they're
- 1:19:44Speaker 13: responsible for cleaning up, dumping the trash, and cutting the
- 1:19:48Speaker 13: grass some things that they haven't been on top of
- 1:19:51Speaker 13: in recent months. So the fads have a really outsized
- 1:19:56Speaker 13: role in DC when it comes to keeping federal parks clean.
- 1:20:01Speaker 10: Now, we want to work with them on that, and
- 1:20:03Speaker 10: we have the teams to do that. But it's just
- 1:20:07Speaker 10: not it's not right to say that d C is dirty.
- 1:20:12Speaker 7: Listen.
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: And you also don't deploy the FBI and the National
- 1:20:16Speaker 1: Guard just because something is not clean.
- 1:20:17Speaker 2: I don't understand that logic. That's what's crazy. But I
- 1:20:20Speaker 2: do want to ask you something.
- 1:20:20Speaker 7: Man about it.
- 1:20:21Speaker 1: Do you believe President Trump had the legal authority to
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: deploy the FBI in National Guard into d C without
- 1:20:26Speaker 1: the sea's consent?
- 1:20:27Speaker 13: Well, this is this is the primer on DC that
- 1:20:31Speaker 13: I like to give in times like this when we're
- 1:20:34Speaker 13: in the national news.
- 1:20:35Speaker 4: We are unique.
- 1:20:36Speaker 8: We are not a state.
- 1:20:38Speaker 10: And so when you hear DC residents talk about we
- 1:20:40Speaker 10: got to become a.
- 1:20:41Speaker 13: State, we got to become a state, it's not you know,
- 1:20:44Speaker 13: it's not just an easy topic because what it says
- 1:20:49Speaker 13: is that we don't have full autonomy.
- 1:20:51Speaker 8: We have a limited home.
- 1:20:53Speaker 13: Rule and our Home rule charter gives the president the
- 1:20:59Speaker 13: ability to declare an emergency of public safety emergency for
- 1:21:03Speaker 13: almost any reason, and that doesn't really give him the
- 1:21:07Speaker 13: right to take over the police department. And if you
- 1:21:10Speaker 13: read his executive order closely, what it says is what
- 1:21:14Speaker 13: the charter allows him to do is direct me, the mayor,
- 1:21:19Speaker 13: to make MPD services available.
- 1:21:22Speaker 10: And that's what it says.
- 1:21:24Speaker 13: Our organization chart, our chief of police, our reporting structure
- 1:21:29Speaker 13: for our police officers has not changed up.
- 1:21:32Speaker 5: We're still kicking in with Muriel Bowser, the mayor of
- 1:21:35Speaker 5: DC Charlemagne. I was going to ask, so what is
- 1:21:39Speaker 5: required for this takeover the end to make sure that
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: you remain in controlling that he does.
- 1:21:43Speaker 13: The good question, because we're in an unprecedented territory. The
- 1:21:47Speaker 13: law says he has thirty days unless the Congress passes
- 1:21:51Speaker 13: a joint resolution to extend it. Because there is no
- 1:21:56Speaker 13: real predicate in our view for a crime surge that
- 1:22:00Speaker 13: that cost the emergency having the reasons to end the
- 1:22:05Speaker 13: emergency are also unclear. So that's the conversation that I
- 1:22:09Speaker 13: will have with the person that he has designated as
- 1:22:14Speaker 13: his proxy to request these services, and that's the Attorney
- 1:22:18Speaker 13: General BONDI.
- 1:22:19Speaker 5: Now you mentioned this in twenty twenty, so you've seen
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: this coming.
- 1:22:24Speaker 2: He's been talking about it for a while.
- 1:22:26Speaker 13: He tried in twenty twenty to when you will remember
- 1:22:31Speaker 13: when there were protests around the killing of George Floyd,
- 1:22:35Speaker 13: and that's when he first intimated that he wanted to
- 1:22:39Speaker 13: take over the police. We pushed back real hard and
- 1:22:45Speaker 13: just explain to him that that at that time, especially
- 1:22:48Speaker 13: at that time where the city was a tinderbox, would
- 1:22:51Speaker 13: be a bad move.
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: Do you think this is a trial run for a
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: police state from President Trump?
- 1:22:56Speaker 1: Listen?
- 1:22:57Speaker 13: I think that what we have to see nobody should
- 1:23:01Speaker 13: be a lot of the coverage I've heard. Just like
- 1:23:04Speaker 13: one of the callers I heard is making the argument
- 1:23:07Speaker 13: that DC's crime issues are out of control.
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: That's not true.
- 1:23:12Speaker 13: Our police department, best in the business, partners with the
- 1:23:16Speaker 13: federal government, supports the President, supports diplomatic visits to the
- 1:23:21Speaker 13: city are driving down crime in partnership with the community,
- 1:23:25Speaker 13: and tougher policies quite frankly that I have supported over
- 1:23:29Speaker 13: the last several years to help us hold people who
- 1:23:32Speaker 13: use guns in our city accountable and we have to
- 1:23:35Speaker 13: have that on this conversation too.
- 1:23:37Speaker 8: We can't have a system where a.
- 1:23:39Speaker 13: Juvenile or an adult can use guns, hurt people and
- 1:23:44Speaker 13: not face any accountability. So the city has really stepped
- 1:23:50Speaker 13: aggressively in that direction and it was warranted. But you
- 1:23:56Speaker 13: cannot suggest that the MPD is not getting the job done.
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: We have a young lady, Morgan Woods. She's from DC,
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: She's from the Black Information Network. She wants to ask
- 1:24:05Speaker 1: you a question to Mayor Bodum.
- 1:24:08Speaker 9: Yes, thank you, Mayor Bouser, appreciate you taking a get
- 1:24:12Speaker 9: as a DMB resident, someone who frequents DC a lot.
- 1:24:14Speaker 10: How do you how do what do you think the
- 1:24:16Speaker 10: presence of this federal law enforcements?
- 1:24:18Speaker 9: How do you think it stands to impact residents, those
- 1:24:20Speaker 9: of us that are coming from Maryland and Virginia to
- 1:24:23Speaker 9: hang out, support local businesses, even businesses that may be
- 1:24:27Speaker 9: struggling from the pandemic.
- 1:24:28Speaker 4: How do you, uh?
- 1:24:29Speaker 9: What do you what is your take on how this
- 1:24:33Speaker 9: presence of federal law enforcement stands to impact not only
- 1:24:36Speaker 9: the residents, but also you know you economically in the district.
- 1:24:39Speaker 13: Well, Morgan, what I'm really concerned about is the rhetoric
- 1:24:43Speaker 13: coming from the president. Already, the federal government's decisions are
- 1:24:48Speaker 13: having a completely negative impact on our economy. By firing
- 1:24:54Speaker 13: federal workers, closing federal buildings, continuing this telework policy that
- 1:25:02Speaker 13: they said they wouldn't continue, is having a negative impact
- 1:25:06Speaker 13: on our economy. The Congress limited our own local spending
- 1:25:12Speaker 13: by almost a billion dollars this year. That cost us
- 1:25:15Speaker 13: to cut services in the district, already having an impact
- 1:25:19Speaker 13: on our economy, and spreading lies about how safe the
- 1:25:23Speaker 13: city is will impact our ability to replace that economic
- 1:25:29Speaker 13: activity with private activity, like you're mentioning just wanting to
- 1:25:34Speaker 13: come to restaurants or clubs. So I feel very confident
- 1:25:38Speaker 13: that our city is safe and you should go about
- 1:25:41Speaker 13: your daily activities, and that we are going to work very,
- 1:25:45Speaker 13: very hard to make sure that the federal presence doesn't
- 1:25:49Speaker 13: impact anybody's ability to come to the city, whether they're
- 1:25:55Speaker 13: our residents, people from the regent, or people who are
- 1:25:59Speaker 13: come to visit us. Now, having said that yesterday, last week,
- 1:26:04Speaker 13: and the week before that everybody who comes here should
- 1:26:07Speaker 13: follow the law, and that remains true. Everybody who comes
- 1:26:10Speaker 13: here should follow the law, and that includes the police.
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: Oh, I have one more question about it, because I
- 1:26:16Speaker 1: know you got to go like the caller call up
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: here this morning, they say he does think it's a
- 1:26:21Speaker 1: good thing that President Trump wants to reduce the crime
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: rate in DC.
- 1:26:23Speaker 2: But in your opinion, as mayor, why is this the wrong.
- 1:26:26Speaker 7: Way to do it?
- 1:26:27Speaker 13: The wrong is the wrong way to do it because
- 1:26:31Speaker 13: federal law enforcement does a different job. We work with
- 1:26:35Speaker 13: the FBI, A, t F and DEEA all the time,
- 1:26:39Speaker 13: but we work with them on high level criminal organizations
- 1:26:44Speaker 13: bringing drugs and guns to the city. FBI agents don't
- 1:26:48Speaker 13: go out on patrol. That's not what they're trained to do,
- 1:26:52Speaker 13: and that's not what they're they are good at. It's
- 1:26:55Speaker 13: also not a good idea for our own tropolitan Police department,
- 1:27:01Speaker 13: who's worked so hard to gain the trust of communities,
- 1:27:05Speaker 13: for communities to now be scared of the police because
- 1:27:10Speaker 13: when they are, they don't call when they need help.
- 1:27:12Speaker 13: When they are, they don't cooperate when there's been a
- 1:27:16Speaker 13: crime committee and we need the public support and so
- 1:27:20Speaker 13: that that in itself makes.
- 1:27:23Speaker 10: Cities less safe.
- 1:27:24Speaker 2: So that's not the way to do it.
- 1:27:26Speaker 13: And more than that, it's not right to trample on
- 1:27:29Speaker 13: democratic processes. And while our kind of autonomy is limited
- 1:27:37Speaker 13: in our grip on democracy is tenuous in a city
- 1:27:41Speaker 13: that doesn't.
- 1:27:41Speaker 10: That is not a state and does not have two senators.
- 1:27:45Speaker 13: We do have local elected government, and we our own
- 1:27:49Speaker 13: residents know how to make their voices heard.
- 1:27:52Speaker 5: May we appreciate you for checking in and any time
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: you need to thank you. Thank you the mayor of DC,
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: Muriel Bowser, and thank you a getting Please let us

- 1:29:25Speaker 17: and I the Drama on September nineteen, period. So she
- 1:29:29Speaker 17: just posted last night a photo cover art of a
- 1:29:33Speaker 17: song that she's going to be dropping this Friday called
- 1:29:35Speaker 17: Imaginary Players.
- 1:29:36Speaker 8: Now there's no audio, but the fans were quick to
- 1:29:40Speaker 8: be like, this has to.
- 1:29:41Speaker 17: Be a sample of jay Z's Imaginary Players, and Carti
- 1:29:44Speaker 17: went live to talk about what the song would be
- 1:29:46Speaker 17: given with the VIZID be Let's take a listen to Cardi.
- 1:29:49Speaker 7: This single is really hot.
- 1:29:50Speaker 22: I talk all day every day, but in a song
- 1:29:52Speaker 22: like it's like reflex real complex type, you know what
- 1:29:56Speaker 22: I'm saying, Like, if only y'all knew the story what
- 1:30:00Speaker 22: I had to go through with this single and to
- 1:30:02Speaker 22: do something else.
- 1:30:03Speaker 10: But when the song come out, I'm going to tell
- 1:30:04Speaker 10: you more about the story.
- 1:30:06Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:30:07Speaker 17: So the people are the fans are really excited for
- 1:30:10Speaker 17: this to be that sample. And I haven't confirmed that
- 1:30:14Speaker 17: it is a sample. I've tried, but no one wants
- 1:30:15Speaker 17: to give me anything.
- 1:30:16Speaker 4: On the roll out.
- 1:30:17Speaker 5: But it does sound like it.
- 1:30:18Speaker 2: And that's and for people that know body and her
- 1:30:20Speaker 2: click her girl click, they all are.
- 1:30:22Speaker 5: Like that, like driving ferraris and fandom on some rich
- 1:30:26Speaker 5: some rich is issue on chicks like that is bodying
- 1:30:29Speaker 5: her her team and they do it twenty four to
- 1:30:31Speaker 5: seven days week.
- 1:30:32Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: But I mean just because the song is called Imaginary Players,
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: don't mean she gonna sample jay Z. And this means
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: that she's probably playing off the title because an imaginary
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: player is a person who pretends like they got it.
- 1:30:42Speaker 2: You a player in your own mind, she might that's
- 1:30:44Speaker 2: probably the concept of the song.
- 1:30:45Speaker 17: Well, the fans are really sticking to this narrative that
- 1:30:48Speaker 17: it may be a sample of the song. They've even
- 1:30:49Speaker 17: went over to jay Z's YouTube channel found the song
- 1:30:52Speaker 17: Imaginary Players, and for a lot of Cardi's fans, their
- 1:30:55Speaker 17: first time hearing it was yesterday when she announced her song.
- 1:30:59Speaker 8: So they're in the comments of.
- 1:31:00Speaker 2: Jason Kids out the pool.
- 1:31:08Speaker 8: Somebody said in.
- 1:31:09Speaker 17: The comments, I'm here after Cardi B announced her new
- 1:31:11Speaker 17: single card Imaginary Players, it's Friday that. Another person said
- 1:31:15Speaker 17: the Cardi B announcement took me here. Another person said,
- 1:31:17Speaker 17: if you've been missing out, do yourself the favorite and
- 1:31:19Speaker 17: lock into the Goats catalog greatest hip hop storyline up
- 1:31:21Speaker 17: all time. We need to get ready for Cardi B's release.
- 1:31:24Speaker 17: And someone else said, never heard this before, but I
- 1:31:27Speaker 17: know Cardi B will be sliding.
- 1:31:29Speaker 2: I highly highly doubt Cardi B is gonna be rapping
- 1:31:32Speaker 2: over Imaginary Player.
- 1:31:34Speaker 5: You highly doubt that some type of sample because they
- 1:31:36Speaker 5: said she said it took a minute to sample at
- 1:31:38Speaker 5: and that's also a sample.
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: From It's not the Brother's Renee and Angela imaginary Playmate.
- 1:31:45Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:31:46Speaker 5: Mmm, so maybe it's some type of sample based off
- 1:31:50Speaker 5: of that, Maybe I can't.
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: Wait to hear it.
- 1:31:51Speaker 3: Well though, I am the best thing I like to
- 1:31:54Speaker 3: happing this for people to not that this is what
- 1:31:56Speaker 3: any of y'all are doing. But the best thing I
- 1:31:58Speaker 3: like is for when people doubt car Din, she come
- 1:32:00Speaker 3: out like swinging and sliding and scratching daddy like on
- 1:32:04Speaker 3: the on the track.
- 1:32:06Speaker 8: I love when she like when she makes Then they say,
- 1:32:09Speaker 8: is the word?
- 1:32:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't. I just don't think because I
- 1:32:11Speaker 2: don't hear when I listen to the sample.
- 1:32:13Speaker 1: It's not that I can't hear Cardi rapping on it,
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: just don't hear why that would be a single that
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: wasn't even a single for Jay.
- 1:32:18Speaker 5: But that's what I'm saying. Maybe they cut it up
- 1:32:19Speaker 5: and chapter in the way that it is a single.
- 1:32:21Speaker 5: Can we play a little bit of it?
- 1:32:25Speaker 6: Check?
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: Yo, I spit that mother Brown leap covers money all
- 1:32:34Speaker 1: year money, I'm plopping, got to count.
- 1:32:36Speaker 2: It's so laid money. I never changed money because you
- 1:32:39Speaker 2: got strange money, knocked up, bumped up money.
- 1:32:43Speaker 4: Okay?
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: On that not as a single?
- 1:32:46Speaker 2: Could you?
- 1:32:47Speaker 17: You used to like like records like Outside being her single,
- 1:32:49Speaker 17: Temple More.
- 1:32:51Speaker 2: Swing, that's laid back.
- 1:32:52Speaker 5: But maybe Barty got it.
- 1:32:54Speaker 2: I can't know.
- 1:32:57Speaker 1: I think he's I think she's playing off the concept
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: of imaginary player, because we all know imaginary players have
- 1:33:01Speaker 1: imaginary haters. They just they just they're in their own
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: delusional world, which actually for this era, makes a lot
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: of sense.
- 1:33:07Speaker 3: And then just played the music video for me. I
- 1:33:09Speaker 3: ain't never see the Imaginary Players music video.
- 1:33:11Speaker 2: He just played it for me. But where Cardy from?
- 1:33:14Speaker 2: From the Rox Bronx.
- 1:33:16Speaker 4: Damn. So y'all know what y'all should do, right?
- 1:33:18Speaker 3: Should put to the go tonight? You know, I got
- 1:33:21Speaker 3: a show tonight. In the show tomorrow there Cardy said, come,
- 1:33:25Speaker 3: she might come kind of shoot the video and you
- 1:33:27Speaker 3: got coming through my show.
- 1:33:29Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:33:29Speaker 5: They got a section over there. They got the bottles
- 1:33:31Speaker 5: and then Imaginary Players they got no bottles. Exact, what's
- 1:33:35Speaker 5: the difference between the four point and the four point.
- 1:33:38Speaker 1: Imaginary Players bottles? They just they just didn't pay for them.
- 1:33:43Speaker 8: He's just gonna be me tonight because m be buying
- 1:33:44Speaker 8: all the bottles.
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: Yep, I'm coming show, So.
- 1:33:47Speaker 4: Get the tickets at Esselaris official dot com.
- 1:33:50Speaker 2: See you the Bronx, see you in the Bronx.
- 1:33:55Speaker 17: But yeah, so we'll wait for that that is releasing
- 1:33:57Speaker 17: this Friday, Cardi b song. And as we wrap up
- 1:34:01Speaker 17: real quick, look there is right now. Remember we talked
- 1:34:04Speaker 17: about the t app. Yes, so absolutely there is a
- 1:34:08Speaker 17: app in the app store right now called the Tea
- 1:34:11Speaker 17: on her app. So y'all were talking about if the
- 1:34:14Speaker 17: guys did this and blah blah blah blah blah. Well,
- 1:34:16Speaker 17: the guys are attempting to I don't know how successful
- 1:34:19Speaker 17: would be. We saw what happened with the t app
- 1:34:20Speaker 17: and the data breach and all the things.
- 1:34:22Speaker 3: You guys got that tea for the girls, like theyre
- 1:34:26Speaker 3: trying to find out the tea on the girls.
- 1:34:27Speaker 17: Yeah, this has been floating around for some some time,
- 1:34:30Speaker 17: like a couple people have been talking about this being
- 1:34:32Speaker 17: in an app store, but it just raised. I think
- 1:34:34Speaker 17: it's like number three or number four and downloads wise
- 1:34:38Speaker 17: in the app store as far as dating and advice.
- 1:34:40Speaker 17: But I have you know, people I know that have
- 1:34:42Speaker 17: tried to download it, and the guys are trying to
- 1:34:45Speaker 17: get in there. I think, honestly, we should just all
- 1:34:47Speaker 17: leave these apps alone.
- 1:34:49Speaker 4: No, no, it just it just.
- 1:34:54Speaker 2: Please send send you twos up pigs. You don't want
- 1:34:59Speaker 2: to see your off time.
- 1:35:01Speaker 8: Oh no, I didn't mean it like that. WHOA, Yeah,
- 1:35:04Speaker 8: I didn't mean it.
- 1:35:05Speaker 2: Post Lauren's picture on that.
- 1:35:07Speaker 8: You're not going to get nothing doing it what they say.
- 1:35:10Speaker 17: The reason I was saying it is because after that
- 1:35:11Speaker 17: data breach, there was a story that though Washington posted
- 1:35:14Speaker 17: of this woman that sued the t APP for the
- 1:35:16Speaker 17: data breach or whatever, and like, I don't know, it
- 1:35:19Speaker 17: just seems a little messy.
- 1:35:20Speaker 8: No, I was down in the beginning.
- 1:35:21Speaker 3: Let the guys have it because I want to see
- 1:35:24Speaker 3: some things. I want to see what they finding out, because,
- 1:35:26Speaker 3: to be honest, a real conversation is women are ways
- 1:35:30Speaker 3: sneaky of the men.
- 1:35:32Speaker 8: We're not sneaky, We're smarter.
- 1:35:35Speaker 2: Women are catching women.
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: Women are catch men and dogs because you know, you
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: you always see like you can drive by and see dogs,
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: you know, having sex with each other. They be stuck
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: looking dumb. But you ain't never seen two cats having sex.
- 1:35:48Speaker 8: But you see the kittens never yet, that's all you
- 1:35:51Speaker 8: say as the result, you.
- 1:35:53Speaker 2: Never see it.
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: And I got two videos and you stuck laurd don't
