• 2:37
  Speaker 8: he says the tariffs imposed on other countries are having
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: the desired effect, and he's now open to negotiations. He
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: made the comments while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force one,
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: saying his initial plan is over and now he's watching it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 9: Just settle in. Let's take a listen to President Trump.
• 2:55
  Speaker 10: As if somebody said that we're gonna give you something
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: that's so phenomenal.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: As long as say giving us something, it's good.
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: Every country's called bless that's the beauty of what we do.
• 3:06
  Speaker 8: Put ourselves in the drivers, saying, now I do like
• 3:09
  Speaker 8: the idea of America being the driver. But Trump said
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: that every country has called asking to cut a trade
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: deal with the US to avoid the tariffs, adding that
• 3:19
  Speaker 8: he's seen in upticking plans to bring manufacturing plants back
• 3:23
  Speaker 8: to the US. So if that was the plan all along,
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: then it does appear to be working. Only just twenty
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: four to forty eight hours later.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what they were saying. They were saying, these
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: tariffs a short term plan. It was really done to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: shake things up and to get people to negotiate a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: lot a little better. But in return it's affected. They
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: said that the stock market has dropped. They said, the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Dow drop sixteen hundred points, nastag full six percent. Is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a lot of people that's investing that stock market are losing.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: To ask, but Mark, can I have a question for you.
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: If what he's doing is working, why are people so
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: upset when he says that he's going to do it?
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: If it works, and he kind of like backs away
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: from it so that like we're not affected as bad.
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: You know what it is, Lauren, and I think that
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: we just don't like change. You know, change is inevitable,
• 4:04
  Speaker 8: and change that's too abrupt.
• 4:05
  Speaker 9: Could be you know.
• 4:06
  Speaker 8: It's like it's scary, it's you know, people don't know
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: what's happening. But meanwhile, Europe and China are vowing to
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: respond to President Trump's new tears. Commerce secretary come on Friday,
• 4:17
  Speaker 8: US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik says countries should instead focus
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: on reevaluating their current trade policies with the US, and
• 4:24
  Speaker 8: he's confident that the US will end up on the
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: winning end of any potential tear for Let's hear more
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: from US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik.
• 4:32
  Speaker 11: Stop saying that we can't sell our corn to India,
• 4:35
  Speaker 11: stop saying that we can't sell our beef anywhere. Just
• 4:39
  Speaker 11: stop treating us so poorly. You're going to see American
• 4:43
  Speaker 11: production start to rise and finally be fair. Yeah.
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: So, Trump on Wednesday, of course, unveiled the list of
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: over one hundred and eighty countries and territories that were
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: hit with reciprocal tariffs and the news sent market, our market,
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: excuse me? Sliding down in Europe and Asia, and the
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: world's biggest economies vowed retaliation. Now in Brussels, the head
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: of the European Commission warned, you take If you take
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: on one of us, you take on all of us.
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: China's Commerce ministry describes the terraces as unilaterally bullying and
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: said they will resolutely take countermeasures to safeguard its own
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: rights and interest and here domestically in the States, as
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: you mentioned, v, the stock market is coming off its
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: worst day in nearly five years. Yesterday, just one day
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: after President Trump announced his sweeping global terrafs, the smp
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: plunged five hundred points nearly five percent. That's the biggest
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: drop for the broad market in deck since June of
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty. With investors fearing a global trade war. The
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: Dow Jones Industrial average closed four percent lower, while the
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: tech heavy NASDAK dropped six percent. Retail stocks were hit hard,
• 5:51
  Speaker 8: with Nike shares falling more than fourteen percent. And let's
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: see if the market can stand to bounce back today
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: as the week ends on what we hope is a
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: strong note, So any thoughts on what's going on there.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: But let me do ask you this.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: If they're saying that the terrorists that he's putting on
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is could be actually working, do we give him some time?
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Because you know, the first thing that people said was
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they were upset it was going to cost you know, everything,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the cost of home building, the cost of cars, the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: cost of goods were going to go up. But now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: they're saying that these countries are actually coming back and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: trying to negotiate, so it could possibly be a good thing, right.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, And do we have any choice but to
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: give President Trump time? I mean, he's got four years,
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: he's only two or three months in his term, and
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: it doesn't seem like we really have much of a
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: choice in terms of giving the man time. But we
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: will see, you know, we'll see what happens. I will
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: add that the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Harney says his
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: country will impose counter auto tariffs in response to President
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: Trump's announcement, adding that this he expects that it will
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: impact the world, and he also added that the global
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: economy is now fundamentally different than it was just days ago.
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: Carneie also said previously that retaliatory tariffs will remain in
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: effect for Canada, and he said he doesn't believe Trump
• 7:03
  Speaker 8: will change direction until the pain is felt by Americans
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: due to the tariffs going so hard and being too
• 7:09
  Speaker 8: hard to ignore.
• 7:10
  Speaker 9: So we will see.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: It's it's one of those only time will tell type
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: of things, it seems like.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So yeah, well I did see Ford post something yesterday
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: which I thought was very interesting. After all of this,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: so Ford on the Instagram page posted Ford who assembles
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: the most vehicles in the US? Ford Motor Company, Ford
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: America for America, and he started posting on their cars.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So I just thought that that was a shop like, hey,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: we're building a lot of these cars in America here
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: outside of a lot of these other car companies.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: So I thought that was a.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: That was that was kind of smart thing.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: I thought that was different.
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: Yeah, happened with the ads before. How much them cars
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: gonna beat out? Now, I'm not gonna get too much
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: into that, but that's your front page news for six
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: a m.
• 7:50
  Speaker 9: Stick around at seven.

• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they actually had. Now and he was saying, Morgan was
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: saying the front page News that these nations are allegedly
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: reaching out to Trump to make these deals. So what's
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: happened the desired effect that he wanted. That's what we
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: said earlier during from Page New.

  Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: with Lauren.
• 15:09
  Speaker 14: Lauren becoming a straight fast she gets into somebody that
• 15:13
  Speaker 14: knows somebody detail.
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: I'm a homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: She'd be having the latest on you. The latest with
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Lauren la Rosa.
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: Sometimes you have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: have a little bit of everything.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: Talk to me, all right.
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: So we talked about Young Thug and the fact that
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: uh the Fulton County UH Prosecutor's office was asking for
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: his probation to be revoked because he had tweeted about
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: one of the investigators that works with their team.
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: Now I really thought that.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know if I thought that it
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: would go through, But a judge has denied that request,
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: and I was a little bit surprised at the footnote
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: that the judge left.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: So take a listen to this.
• 15:59
  Speaker 6: To just said is while the court does not find
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: that the sited social media posts rises to the level
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: of a violation of the defendants probation, it may be
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: prudent for the defendant to exercise the strength regarding certain topics.
• 16:11
  Speaker 12: You think, yeah, leading people alone, your business.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: He definitely shoul leading people alone.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: But he does have free speech, so he's able to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: say what he says what he wants to say without
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: threatening somebody. So it wasn't necessarily violating its probation. But
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the judge is being like, be smarter.
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 6: But the only reason why I was a little bit surprised.
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: I didn't think that it would send them back to
• 16:29
  Speaker 6: jail full even though that was on the line. I
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: just thought that the judge would come out swinging a
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: little bit stronger because the woman is saying, my family
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: is being threatened. Their address has been lead there, like
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: like all this stuff. The woman that he posted, because
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: it is like docxing in a way.
• 16:43
  Speaker 12: Right when you post a woman's picture and you post
• 16:45
  Speaker 12: her name, social media gets active active, So guess what
• 16:48
  Speaker 12: you do have to take those threats seriously, So thug
• 16:50
  Speaker 12: need to relax leading people alone.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Man, you saw Fanny Willis.
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: Said yesterday, oh oh yeah about that was another reason
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: why she basically said that they're trying to make this
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: as game activity.
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: And that's why I was like, I don't know what
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: is happening up there in the sky.
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: But when I tell you, Doug got some angels around
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: him because he keeps teetering that line and every time
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: it's like, oh no. And even his attorney yesterday, Brian Steele,
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: had came out and basically said to the court, y'all
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: are like stopped playing with us, like jokingly. You shouldn't
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: be trying to send somebody back to jail for something
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: that didn't violate his rights whatsoever. Like it shouldn't even
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: that shouldn't even be a conversation. I was surprised the
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: attorney said that. I'm like, does no one else see?
• 17:29
  Speaker 12: You know?
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I kind of saw where if any Wilison team were
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: coming from.
• 17:31
  Speaker 12: Don't get him a reason thug, Yeah, they don't need
• 17:34
  Speaker 12: one right. Well.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: In other news, so Damon Wayams sat down with Shannon
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: Sharp for Club Station and they had an interested conversation.
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: It was really to me, I felt like it was
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: more about just you know, how they the Wayne's brothers
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: tell such great stories about their life and their growing up.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: It was a lot of that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: But they started having a conversation about you know, the
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: higher you go up in Hollywood, the less black people
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: you see, and how you know, if you're raising a
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: kid in Hollywood, how that affects them and now as
• 18:03
  Speaker 6: a parent, like things changed.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: That's take a listen to that.
• 18:06
  Speaker 16: The more money you make, the less black people you see.
• 18:09
  Speaker 16: Money brings you into a new category. You move to
• 18:13
  Speaker 16: a different house in a different neighborhood, and you get
• 18:16
  Speaker 16: different friends and money. The complexion changes. I like what
• 18:20
  Speaker 16: I love about Like Lebron you know he's got.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: He got got mad, but he got ready and he
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: got rich. Yeah.
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: You know, at a certain point they sit you down,
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: you know, Beyonce's father, all right, we got it from here.
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: The Jackson's all right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Joe, we got it, we got it.
• 18:36
  Speaker 10: You know you said that and go what you know
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: Venus Cuerna, we got them.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: But it's and if you want them to be successful,
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: you have to kind of let it happen and then
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: they hit new heights, but you become a liability.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: I thought that that was pretty interesting, the liability part,
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: only because I'm sitting here thinking about it and I'm like,
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: okay with beyonce story. We know, you know, her dad
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: stepped in, her mom was by her side the full time.
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: The Jackson's as well. So there's so many kids stars
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: who like the parents are right there with them. But
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: I never thought about how like an agent and a
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: manager a lawyer would look at it parent because it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: like there, I'm assuming he's saying liability. And from the
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: conversation I took that he was saying liability because it's like,
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: it's not too many of you guys up here, and
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: they don't want the parent to get in the way.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Most parents did.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I think with emotion when it comes to their children,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: especially when they're doing deals, it's more emotional. Agents and
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: managers have no usually have no emotion in it, right,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: because it's all about business. I would assume it isn't.
• 19:31
  Speaker 12: A lot of that on the artist though, Like if
• 19:33
  Speaker 12: somebody sit you down and say, you know what, you
• 19:35
  Speaker 12: know your parent has only got you but so far,
• 19:38
  Speaker 12: you know that's something you to make that choice, right,
• 19:40
  Speaker 12: that's up to you to say, you know what, You're right.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I don't want my parents managing me no more. It
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: depends what your dad or your parent knows. I was
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: about to say, because you know, you get to a
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: certain plots, didn't need them. People do it for a living.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: Why not cold manage you can do that.
• 19:51
  Speaker 12: I mean, you can't come like you You should want
• 19:53
  Speaker 12: somebody protecting you at all times, and you know your
• 19:56
  Speaker 12: parents got your best interests at her.
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: I think it is for some people, especially back in
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: the times of like you know, when the waves are
• 20:01
  Speaker 6: coming up and Beyonce, Beyonce was very lucky. Her dad
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: knew so much, he was a businessman, her mom was around.
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: But not everybody had that, so the parents might have
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: to step back. I don't know, just ability.
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: We've seen it with a shanty. Shanty's mom manages and
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: still manages her to this day.
• 20:16
  Speaker 12: Let me tell you what I want, the kind of money,
• 20:19
  Speaker 12: the way I see less people period. Okay, I don't
• 20:22
  Speaker 12: care what race to y'all. I don't want to interact
• 20:23
  Speaker 12: with too many humans at all. Okay, that's the kind
• 20:26
  Speaker 12: of money I want. I want to live in isolation.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: But your kids still friends, O friends kids.
• 20:34

• 20:43
  Speaker 1: want them to have some type of normal life based you.

  Speaker 12: No, Auntie, that's Auntie.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: That's not that's a friend.
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: But I'm saying it because she was there with other people,
• 21:12
  Speaker 6: you know what I mean, like her, like she has friends.
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: Man, get the kind of money where you can see
• 21:16
  Speaker 12: less people, period. The less people you see, the better
• 21:20
  Speaker 12: life is.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Charlmann, kids will be playing with robots, right the robots
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: black white, I don't care.
• 21:25
  Speaker 6: It was making sure, yeah, rolling out what happened.
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: Y'all acting like big circles are important. Your circle should
• 21:35
  Speaker 12: be so small and almost a dot.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: I agree with that.
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: But in business, you don't have a big circle now.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: But would you agree? But so, yes, I don't have
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: a big circle now.
• 21:44
  Speaker 6: But the people that I'm doing business with have expanded
• 21:46
  Speaker 6: and it will things change and expand as they.
• 21:49
  Speaker 12: Are no permanent friends our enemies when it comes to business.

• 22:07
  Speaker 3: I'm good. I don't need that dollar.

  Speaker 12: I agree with that. But the general sentiment is there
• 22:10
  Speaker 12: are no friends and enemies when it comes to business.
• 22:12
  Speaker 12: It's just business at the end of the night.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: I know that phrase.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: But there's some people I'm not doing business with and
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: I don't care how much it's gonna get me.
• 22:18
  Speaker 12: I'm good, I agree with them.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Happy.
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: Well, that's one that's part of the conversation. I thought
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: was interesting.
• 22:22
  Speaker 6: Damn all talked about like how they used to be
• 22:24
  Speaker 6: disciplined amongst the brothers and sisters, like when they were
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: getting into it.
• 22:27
  Speaker 12: Let's say, listen, I read that when you guys would fight,
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: your mom would make you guys kiss in the mouth.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: I learned how to tongue kids with marline right now.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: But like once you kiss your brother and you don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: want to do that, you don't want to fight. Yeah,
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: we'll take this.
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: We go outside, we'll find a place to sentience this.
• 22:52
  Speaker 16: But like we didn't like kissing each other, but to
• 22:54
  Speaker 16: finish the kiss something.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like to this day, we all kiss. I noticed
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: that hello and good bye.
• 23:01
  Speaker 16: I noticed that because you never know what's gonna happen
• 23:03
  Speaker 16: when they walk out the door, even if I get
• 23:04
  Speaker 16: into an argument and we're yelling and screaming.
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: I thought y'all was the only one who did that.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: I do that with my family. No, but you know
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I do that with my family.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Your family, if they fighting, I make them give each
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: other a hug and a kiss, and they never want
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: to fight again.

• 25:57
  Speaker 3: with the Cox.
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: I'm you know that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 12: Now it's time to call each a know you're not
• 26:08
  Speaker 12: reserved Carolina. There's no reason for him to say that
• 26:11
  Speaker 12: to you.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: You might be a game god fan.
• 26:12
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: I'm just asking.
• 26:14
  Speaker 8: Let's get into the front face news, y'all. So let's
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: talk elections. In voting so Arizona's attorney general issuing the
• 26:20
  Speaker 8: federal government over President Trump's executive Order on elections now.
• 26:25
  Speaker 8: Trump's executive order would require people to show proof of
• 26:28
  Speaker 8: citizenship while registering to vote in federal elections. It would
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: also force states to stop accepting mail in ballots that
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: arrive after election days. So Arizona Attorney General Chris May
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: said during a Thursday news conference that the state's election
• 26:43
  Speaker 8: laws are protected by the US Constitution.
• 26:46
  Speaker 9: Let's take a listen to Attorney General Mace, I.
• 26:49
  Speaker 18: Will not allow our legislature's lawmaking ability to be trodden
• 26:54
  Speaker 18: upon by a wanna be king. Our constitution is absolutely
• 26:59
  Speaker 18: clear the state have the primary responsibility for regulating elections.
• 27:03
  Speaker 18: Under the constitution, the Arizona Legislature has the power to
• 27:09
  Speaker 18: regulate elections in our state.
• 27:12
  Speaker 8: So nineteen states have now filed a suit against the
• 27:15
  Speaker 8: executive order. And you know, I think this is really
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: interesting because you have a lot of primaries going on,
• 27:22
  Speaker 8: a lot of local elections going on, and then of
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: course in another four or three or so year, three
• 27:27
  Speaker 8: to four years or so, we will have another federal election,
• 27:30
  Speaker 8: presidential election. So this comes as more than half of
• 27:33
  Speaker 8: voters for Dick's president. Trump will try to serve a
• 27:35
  Speaker 8: third term in the White House. That's according to a
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: new yugav poll over the weekend. Trump said he's not
• 27:40
  Speaker 8: joking about attempting to serve a third term. In a
• 27:43
  Speaker 8: call with NBC News, he said there are methods which
• 27:46
  Speaker 8: you could do it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: Republicans had largely shrugged off Trump's comments about a third
• 27:50
  Speaker 8: term as a joke. Meanwhile, nearly seven to ten survey
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: respondents said Trump shouldn't be allowed to seek another term.
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: But you know, it seems to be a comp conversation,
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: an ongoing conversation, even though the twenty second Amendment and
• 28:04
  Speaker 8: the twelfth Amendment pretty much make it null and void.
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: So I'm curious to know what Trump's quote methods.
• 28:11
  Speaker 12: No, I'm not. I'm not curious about any of this.
• 28:14
  Speaker 12: We have to stop talking about this like it's normal.
• 28:17
  Speaker 12: It's unconstitutional to even speak like this, And if he
• 28:20
  Speaker 12: wants to do something like this, it's unconstitutional. So if
• 28:23
  Speaker 12: we're if you don't like being called a fascist, and
• 28:26
  Speaker 12: you don't like, you know, people saying this is authoritarian rule,
• 28:29
  Speaker 12: and stop doing and saying things that fascists and authoritarian
• 28:32
  Speaker 12: leaders were doing.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: Safe, But don't you want to be like like, you
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: want to know what's happening. So like what she's saying
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: is like you just want to know what You gotta
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: know what you're up against.
• 28:40
  Speaker 12: No, you know what I'm saying. We shouldn't be acting
• 28:43
  Speaker 12: like this is normal. We shouldn't be taught, we shouldn't
• 28:45
  Speaker 12: be talking to people like this is normal. Like, hey,
• 28:48
  Speaker 12: Trump saying you want to run for a third term. No,
• 28:50
  Speaker 12: that's unconstitutional. That is literally the pure definition of fascism,
• 28:54
  Speaker 12: just speaking like that, like.
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: It's normal, but don't you need to know that it
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: is that in order to be like this is not normal.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Now, if you're not gonna do nothing about it? Who
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: ask the question? What a's the press question? Like, hey,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: you runner the third term? Like who even asked that question?
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: Like is because he's mentioned it, he's been joking about it.
• 29:11
  Speaker 9: Well, you know that's what they're saying.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: He's you keep joking about it, and he's like, it's
• 29:16
  Speaker 8: not a job.
• 29:16
  Speaker 12: But to Nb's point, the reporter that's talking to Trump
• 29:19
  Speaker 12: when they're doing that, why aren't you saying, Trump, don't
• 29:21
  Speaker 12: you know that's unconstitutional? Don't you know that's fascism. Don't
• 29:24
  Speaker 12: you know that's what authoritarian leaders do. You don't ask
• 29:27
  Speaker 12: ask him the question like it's normal, but Trump, are
• 29:29
  Speaker 12: you really thinking about running for a third term? You
• 29:31
  Speaker 12: know what happens and that's that's that's that's the problem
• 29:34
  Speaker 12: with the media in twenty twenty five.
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: Hey, look, hey, when you get in and you have
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: access or when you don't, I'm just gonna say, you're
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: gonna try to ask what you want to ask, But
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: let me not get too much into that.
• 29:44
  Speaker 9: This last story is for anyone who travels.
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: This is domestic, this is stateside, this is if you
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: fly period. Okay, So if you want to get on
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: a flight, or you want to find yourself on a
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: flight at all, and it's just stateside, you need to
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: listen up. You have just over a month before the
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: TSA's deadline to have a real ID license kicks in.
• 30:03
  Speaker 8: I believe it's May seventh. TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein says
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: Americans will need to have a real ID compliant driver's
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: license to take domestic and international flights, and she said
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: it's best to get ahead of the deadline again May seventh.
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: Let's take a listen to TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein, do
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: not have.
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: A real ID, like we need them to bring another
• 30:25
  Speaker 15: form of acceptable ID, such as a passport Global Entry card,
• 30:29
  Speaker 15: something of that nature. We have the list of other
• 30:32
  Speaker 15: acceptable IDs on the TSA website, that TSA dot com.
• 30:36
  Speaker 15: Or maybe there's a wedding, or maybe there's a funeral,
• 30:38
  Speaker 15: or maybe there's a job interview in another state. And
• 30:41
  Speaker 15: so again, like insurance, you don't need it, so you
• 30:44
  Speaker 15: need it, so you want to do it get your
• 30:46
  Speaker 15: real ID travel like a prown.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask it just a stupid question, right, And
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just me. What is a real ID right now?
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: I know I don't have one right because I'm looking
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: at my license right now and it's just not not
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: for real ID purposes.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: But I just got my license. So what do I
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: gotta do different?
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: Now?
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: What's the difference?
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: Take it back to the MBA or excuse me, MBA
• 31:04
  Speaker 8: will be what we call it here in Maryland, or
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: the DMV. Take it back to the DMV, or not
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: take it back, but go back to the DMV and
• 31:11
  Speaker 8: ask them for real ID compliance issued license. So TSA
• 31:16
  Speaker 8: officials say New Yorkers with enhanced licenses don't have to
• 31:19
  Speaker 8: worry about making the switch since it's already a real
• 31:21
  Speaker 8: ID and they'll know if they have it on if
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: there's a flag in the corner. So meantime, DMV's across
• 31:28
  Speaker 8: New York will start extending hours, and some in New
• 31:31
  Speaker 8: Jersey will offer mobile events that could be for you
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: m V, so you could just pull up to one
• 31:36
  Speaker 8: of those mobile events. But here what I will say
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: here in Maryland, they've been pushing this for years and
• 31:42
  Speaker 8: what I understand is that supposedly something like eighty to
• 31:45
  Speaker 8: ninety percent of Marylanders are already compliant with this, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: they make it easy for us that you know, when
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: you go renew the new ID is going to be
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: real ID compliant. So I'm just saying that to people
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: that you know, if you want to get on a
• 31:59
  Speaker 8: flight real quick, it ain't gonna be real quick if
• 32:01
  Speaker 8: you don't have a real ID.
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: If you're not real security.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: What's the difference between the real idea? They're both licenses,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: So what's what's the difference? Like, is there in the
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: back different Real I D.
• 32:12
  Speaker 12: Has a different I don't know if it's different, but
• 32:14
  Speaker 12: it has certain security standards that are specific to the
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: real liity that's not for the regular drivers.
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: Like, I don't know what's the difference, but okay, but.
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: It's so hard to take.
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, specific standards that verify the identify identity and
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: is required for accessing certain federal facilities and boarding domestic flights.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: So yo, what DMV can get me in and out
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: real quick?
• 32:37
  Speaker 12: You know what I'm saying.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Shout out to all the.
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: DMVs and jer Jersey with somebody hit me up, you know,
• 32:41
  Speaker 12: ms Barber out there and mont Claire, how are you okay?
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: We'ld love to get in and out real quick, real
• 32:47
  Speaker 12: real quick.

  Speaker 8: it can also further help you with voting. It's one
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: of those things that basically say you are who you are.
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: So as voting becomes and elections become a thing, and
• 33:02

  Speaker 4: years ago?
• 34:54
  Speaker 12: It is?
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: It is recently.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: And we've been together for like, you know, thirteen years now,
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: so it's twelve I don't know, don't quite me a
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: long time, but you know it, it's getting married. Except
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: we did it in the pandemic, and that was really
• 35:06
  Speaker 4: just a testament to making it happen. However you got
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: to make it happen. We had planned a huge wedding,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: just decided, you know what, we're just going to walk
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: down get this done. And it was really one of
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: the best decisions we made.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's interesting.
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: People always talk about during the pandemic, holl folks got
• 35:20
  Speaker 12: divorced because they realized that they didn't really like their
• 35:23
  Speaker 12: significant other. But then there's the other side too, like
• 35:27
  Speaker 12: your story.
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we we we did realize in that year. We
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: were like, I really do like you. I mean we'd
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: already had a kid at that point, but we were like,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: I really like you, Like, let's see this.
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: It actually made us closer.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: And then actually at the end of twenty twenty three,
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: we had a like a ceremony in our backyard just
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: for our family, because we didn't have any family when
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: we did it, so that was really special too, you
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: know how my dad walked me down the all I
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: got to wear the dress I never wore, so it
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: was it was special. And I think that that's kind
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: of what the last few years of my life has
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: taught me, is that you just got to make the
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: moments like we don't know if tomorrow's promised, so.
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: You got to say yes today and that.
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: And is that what the scope of say yes?
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Yes? Absolutely so as the journey of.
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: Life goes, you know, I think a lot of people
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: talk about saying no a lot, you know, we say
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: no how to set boundaries. I have had to do a
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: lot of that in my life throughout my career, and
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: I think that everything remarkable that I've really learned, that
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: I've seen that I can do, has come on the
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: other side of saying yes, you know, saying yes to
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: overcoming fears, saying yes to the love and the life
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: that you want to desire, saying yes to the people
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: who show up for you and say.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: How can I be down? How can I help?
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: But obviously with discernment that takes work, So I just
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: want people to hear Say Yes as a musical project,
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: but also to have affirmative language in their life. Say yes,
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: say yes to you, Say yes to whatever it is
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: that you want, and go for it.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Deshonda Rohmes book influenced this.
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: You know, it's so funny. You yes, I was reading it. Yeah, absolutely,
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: yeah cool.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Thirteen years off the grid? What you've been doing for
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: thirteen years? Last time we seen off the grid?
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Off the grid? You know, But you know what I was.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I really wasn't. I really wasn't. I was outside in
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: different ways.
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: I was making a life as well as a living.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: I continue to do shows. I am a part of
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: a podcast now called The Mama's Dan. It's a motherhood podcast,
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: a collective. I just started developing motherhood community and initiatives.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: I decided to expand my wingspan and just really step
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: into everything I could possibly do with my voice, all
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: while figuring out how I.
• 37:22
  Speaker 5: Wanted to continue to do music.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: You know, the industry is one one siloed experience of this,
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: and you know, after everything that I had went through
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: the peak of success, enjoying that, having difficulties with my voice,
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: like just all these things. It really made me ask myself,
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: how do I want to live and create for the
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: rest of my life? And so that took some shifting,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: That took some refocusing, that took some severing conversations and
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: relationships and just going independent, you know, and really just
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: figuring out how I want to live my life.
• 37:54
  Speaker 5: And so you need experience, you.
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: Need to love and learn and live and make new
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: music and get inspiration for all of that. So I
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: think a lot of people, especially in the music industry,
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: we live in this space or an entertainment where you
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: feel like there's this clock ticking.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: On you, you know, this clock ticking, and the only
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: clock I'm on is God's clock.
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: If I'm alive and I have another opportunity, I will
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: show up when I am called to show up and
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: when I have something to say, when I have something
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: to offer, And I feel like I'm in that space now.
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: And so my madra for myself and for anyone out
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: there is take your time. It's yours to take Like
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: we don't work on anybody else's clock. So, you know,
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: I just feel grateful that in all that time, I've
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: still been able to reach the fans, continue to build community,
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: continue to build fan base and like I said, just
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: have more products and creativity to put out.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: So, you know, thirteen years to still have people checking
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: for you.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's a blessing because some people nobody's calling
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: for them, you know, and God bless those people because
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: they don't know how they're going to work or what
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: else they can do. So in that space, I figured
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: out what else I can do, what else I can create?
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: You have sit down and did an interview would be
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: where you were talking about the sanity of moms and
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: us feeling like we don't have the safe space to
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: be able to say things like I don't feel like
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: mommy and today and things like that because we'll feel
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: bad for it. Do you feel that you have that
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: you're in that safe space today?
• 39:14
  Speaker 12: Yes?
• 39:14
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: And I think it took having a second child. I
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: never thought I was going to have a second child,
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: but again, God's plan and you know, a little bit
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: of reckless behavior during the pandemic, but you know it,
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: really it was me allowing myself the permission to understand
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: that it's gonna be okay, and that I'm doing a
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: great job and I love my children. And also the
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: thing that I always want to encourage women who are
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: mothers in any capacity of their lives, is your children need.
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: To see you being you.
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: You know how many of us have seen there our
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: moms be like, my mom was so self sacrificing.
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: She's miserable.
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: She got back pain and stress and high blood pressure
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: because she was so self sacrificing for everyone else.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: There's no reward for that.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: You know, you have to pour into yourself and so
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: that whole empty cup analogy and metaphor, like, it's a
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: real thing.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: We poor as women. We are nurturers.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: We are nurturing the earth, We are nurturing our offices,
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: We are nurturing our children, our partners. We have to
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: create space and demand that we have space.
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: To pour into ourselves. It's the only way we could
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: show up.
• 40:16
  Speaker 12: And that's why it's very important for you know, kids,
• 40:19
  Speaker 12: even at our age, get to know your parents, like
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: to have conversations with them and learn who they were
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: before they were your parents.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, you know it's interesting because somebody asked me
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: about this the other day. They're like, how do you
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: feel your perspective has changed making music now versus making
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: music before? You know, before children, I was singing heartbreak
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: love songs and people love me for that. And you know,
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: my kids now they listen to songs they don't really
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: have the context, but they're going to understand the journey
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: of who their mother was as a woman, and they're
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: going to hear these songs on say Yes and know
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: that these songs are a reflection of transformative, affirmative love
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: and they're going to understand that they're a part of that.
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: And so I do think it's important that your children
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: know who you are. This generation that we all cloaking
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: down and secrets and traumas like that's done.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: No, we can't do that for our children anymore.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: We didn't do ourselves no favors, keeping.
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: Secret no, no, no no.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: And our children deserve to know who we are so
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: that they have permission to be who they can be
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: in their lives and understand that it's not a straight
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: line and there's no perfect you know, you just do
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: your best.
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: All We have more with Melanie Fiona when we come back,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: don't move.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: It's the Breakfast Club.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Good Morning Morning, Everybody's dj n V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamage
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: and the God.
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with Melanie Fiona. Now you're an
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: independent artists, right, You're no longer with a UMG or
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: Rock Nation. You know, why did you decide to go independent?
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: You know, that's just like the trajectory of life. I
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: had the opportunity to and I took it. You know,
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: it wasn't a bad situation. You know, shout out to
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: Steve Rifkin and SRC Records. You know, I had the
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: opportunity to make an exit, to change the trajectory of
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: my life, and I took it. And again, even that
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: had his issues going independent, and even that had its
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: learning curves. But you know, now in this space, this project,
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: I've partnered with the Canadian label. You know, some friends
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: from back home who were like, yo, what do you
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: want to do? And I was like, I want to
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: put out some new.
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: Music and they were like, bet will help you.
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: You know, And even in that space with a little
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: bit of help, it's still a lot on me. So
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: I'm still driving this ship. I'm still steering how I
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: want it to feel and look like. And having the
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: long existing relationships of people that you have history with
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: and coming back to see them. So I don't feel
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: like I'm starting from scratch. I'm just starting again and
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: it feels good, like it feels free. And also I
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: think for me creatively, I'm not trying to chase who
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: I was. I've already done that. It kills me, exists
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: for him, exists wrong side of a love song full
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: for you, they already exist, They've already amounted the success
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: I want to be and create new art that it
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: has its own light and own life.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: So you know, it's it's good.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: You know, people, artists, everybody's like, you know, get to
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: the artists are the bag, Like you're you're the bag.
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: So you have value Once you know that.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: People come to you and they want to help and
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: they want to collaborate with you. But it definitely takes
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: a team, and so I'm rebuilding my team. It's been
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: you know, as I expand in the motherhood space in
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: different ways to use my voice, that team will continue
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: to expand.
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of responsibility.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: And I got two kids now, so it's way more responsibility.
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: But again it's blessed stress as I call it. You know,
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: we're all stressed about something. At least be stressed about
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: what you love doing. There you go do you have
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: ever feel guilty, have those guilty thoughts that you're not
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: spending enough time with your children because now you're you're
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: delving back into music and you're you have all your
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: podcasts and everything else that do you still feel yourself
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: struggling in areas where you like can improve, where you
• 43:38
  Speaker 4: want to improve? You know what I mean? Definitely? You know,
• 43:40
  Speaker 4: I'm getting ready to go on tour. You know, this
• 43:42
  Speaker 4: is the first time I'm going on tour with two kids,
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: and since having both three and nine, and I got.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: Two of old in the house.
• 43:53
  Speaker 12: You really do nine? Three? Yep?
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: Wow, you like that jump? You'd like that space of
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: the two I actually got.
• 43:57
  Speaker 12: I got three, six and nine and then a sixteen
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: year old that could do.
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: Me one more time?
• 44:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I really, I really am kind of bracing
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: myself for that. What that's gonna be like to be
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: away from my children for three weeks. I mean, they'll
• 44:13
  Speaker 4: probably pop out and say hi on a couple of shows,
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: but you know, they have they have school now.
• 44:17
  Speaker 5: And that's a big part of here.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, television gonna be calling you everywhere. It sucks.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: No, Actually, he's really good and we have help right now.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: We have family with us who know how we kind
• 44:31
  Speaker 4: of run our house, so we've kind of had to
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: enlist that help. But I think that that's one way
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: that I kind of give myself permission and I try
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: to quiet the guilt down. I think guilt is a
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: thing that naturally comes up, but you have to work
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: actively to say.
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: That's not really real.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Like my kids are actually taking care of I'm actually
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: out here doing what I need to do. They're cared
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: for their loved and it's temporary. Everything is temporary. Like
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: my parents are immigrants. I think about my parents leaving
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: my brother in Guyana to come and immigrate to Canada,
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: to set the life up, to bring their children and
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: their family up to Canada, and how devastating that must
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: have been to be like, we don't know if it's
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: going to work, we don't know what's going to happen.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: But I have to leave my child in a different
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: country and re establish my life, you know. So I
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: always use that as as a guiding light for me
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: every time I think about guilt, and every time I
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: think about what's possible, because we made it, we all
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: made it, and we're doing all right.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: What did you beat your husband how did y'all meet?
• 45:33
  Speaker 12: Ooh, are you looking for.
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: I've been four years, six kids. Thank you very much.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you're talking about. He wants to
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: be based so bad. He wants to be based.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: Y'all still messy.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, you'll message.
• 45:55
  Speaker 12: Where you meet your husband because he.
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: Talks about he's asking the thoughtful. It's just I love
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: this question. Thank you very much for asking me.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: So there's a fun A funny story is we actually
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: used to work in the same studio, right next to
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: each other and didn't even know for years, and one
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: day he used to be a songwriter. Now he's a
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: manager and an executive. He's a partner at a media company.
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: He's doing very well. I'm very proud of him. But
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: at that time he was a songwriter and I was
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: working on my second project. And the first time we
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: met this guy for my team was like, Hey, these
• 46:25
  Speaker 4: guys next door want to play you a song. And
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: then she stepped next door and go so I walked inside.
• 46:29
  Speaker 4: That was the first time we met, but we were
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: both in different relationships, and then cut to like a
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: few years later, we're both out of relationships and we're
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: in a writing trip. We're like on a writing camp
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: and we ended up on an island together artist. It
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: was just like a writ like a creative you write
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: for you just write and then like you place the
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: songs or whatever. And it was my first writing camp
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: and I didn't even know him. We took the same flight.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: We got off the flight and we saw each other
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: and it was like, oh, hey, I know you.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: I know you, but.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: Instantly we were just like really familiar. And that's how
• 46:59
  Speaker 4: that's how it started. Just met on this island and
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: I was like, this is like I don't know, this
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: is really weird. And I had actually gotten out of
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: a relationship like a year and a half before.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: I was doing my dating thing being outside.
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: And I remember right before I went on that trip,
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: I said to my friend at the time, I was like,
• 47:15
  Speaker 4: I think I'm ready to meet someone for real, for real,
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: Like i think I'm ready to like venture into a
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: serious relationship again. And I went on that trip and
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: we met, and then we came back to New York
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: and we kind of started dating. We dated for almost
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: a year like kind of figuring it out, and then
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: we broke up.
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: No good story from there.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: It's a brilliant story. No, you know what the thing is.
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: I always say this because I always used to say
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: I was like, no, U turn like at that point
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: in my life, I was like, I've already done the
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: you know how it's going to work out when you
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: make when you spend the block. If you have this turnaround,
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: it usually don't work. So what I always do. What
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: I said was is like I just kept going and
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: he met me where I was at. So yeah, because
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: I was looking back, I was like, if you are
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: my person, we will align. I don't have to pull
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: back and you don't have to like, You're gonna meet
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: me where I'm at. And I had done a lot
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: of work at that time, so I wasn't willing to
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: compromise the amount of self work I had done. I
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: knew the love that I deserved, I knew the love
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: that I wanted. I felt like we could have it.
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: But again, you got to say yes to overcoming some
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: of those things.
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: So why y'all break up?
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: You know, at that time, I'll say this, We've both
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: gotten out of long relationships and I had done the
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: work to figure out how to move on from that.
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: And I don't think that he had at the time,
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: he had never given himself permission to be single. He'd
• 48:38
  Speaker 4: never enjoyed that part, and so I think when he
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: met me, I think it was a moment where he
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: was kind of like, WHOA, I think I just met
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: the person I'm gonna be with for the rest of
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: my life, Like, am I ready for that?
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: I need to be the man that she deserved for.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Sure, And I respected him for that, And when we
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: parted ways, it was in love. Like that was one
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: of the most beautiful breakups I think I'd ever had,
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: because we saw each other for who we were as individuals,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: and I was just like, whatever work you need to
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: do for yourself has nothing to do with me, and
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: I actually don't even want to be the catalyst for it.
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: So I'm going to remove myself so that you have.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: The space to go and do and be what you
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: want to do and be without my influence or me
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: planting seeds. And so I know that if you show
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: back up, you showed up because you want to be here.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: You showed up because this is where you know you're
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: supposed to be, not because I've been planting the seed
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: of hope, Like, hey, I'm still here now. I started
• 49:28
  Speaker 4: dating someone else, like we really started.
• 49:31
  Speaker 12: He called the lady. Immediately after that, he got the
• 49:33
  Speaker 12: therapist online.
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: What a but he did that work.
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: He did that work, and when he showed back up,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: it was on like whatever reservations that I had thought
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: about spinning the block or getting back together with an X,
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: they were just gone.
• 49:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, I'm choosing to do this with you.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's get into a joint off the eping.
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: What you want to hear?
• 49:53

• 50:40
  Speaker 4: granded some risings queen. No, you know, he just hit
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: me and he was like, you know, hey, I was
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: just you know, calling to see how you were doing.
• 50:47
  Speaker 5: I was like, I told you I'm doing good. You know,
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: I'm doing good.
• 50:50
  Speaker 4: Tough cookie, the work I had I had to. And
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: then finally he hit me. I was in l a
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: and you know, he was like, he was like, hey,

• 51:03
  Speaker 4: and yeah, no, I was I was really trying to.
• 51:05
  Speaker 4: I was trying to and a friend of mine was like,
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: she was like, you love this person, why don't you
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: just go have dinner with them?
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: Like he wants to see you, And so I.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: Went and we had dinner, and you know, he was
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: like hey, Like I was just hoping.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: He was living in out of state at the time.
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: He was living in Florida and I was living in California,
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: and he was like, you know, He's like, I was
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: wondering if you know you come out and like just
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: you know, hang out with me. And I was like no,
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not coming out, He's like, Okay, well,
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: then I'm coming back to LA. And so then he
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: came out to LA and this this is like my
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: favorite part of the story because I was like, don't
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: do this, like I don't do this if you're not
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: read like for real, like I'm not playing. So then
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: after he's like, I'm coming to LA and he's like,
• 51:43
  Speaker 4: I will be here for three days and he's like,
• 51:46
  Speaker 4: if you will see me, he was like, this is
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: where I'll be and I was like, I'll let you know,
• 51:51
  Speaker 4: and I didn't even and then I called him thirty
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: minutes before and I was like, I'm pulling up in
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes. He's like, I'm here, So he really posted
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: up and when I went there, excuse your house. Wait no, no, no,
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: this was at a hotel. He was at a hotel
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: in LA and I but I was really I really
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: was like, let me see if you're really about that action.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: But like I wasn't making it difficult for him. I
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: was just really being firm on my boundaries.
• 52:12
  Speaker 12: Did you get you know?
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: I did you know?
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: Cause if it's last time you gonna see.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: Somebody, you gotta leave it impression, But it wasn't it
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: really wasn't. And and you know the things that he said,
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: it was just the most genuine. I just knew spirit
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: was like we're aligned here, and I knew that it
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: was it was the right decision for me. I knew
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: that I was going and that's you know. Even on
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: the EP, I wrote this song called I Choose You
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: because I think that choice is the greatest thing we have,
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: and when we exercise it in empowerment, it can be
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: so beautiful. And so for me, I was like, all right,
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna choose to say yes to this. You're choosing
• 52:49
  Speaker 4: me and I'm choosing you, and we are going to
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: do this together. We know where we've come from, we
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: know what we've been through. With all of that said,
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: let's choose to do this together.
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: And so we did. Any six months I was pregnant.
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: Oh so this is about him. Yeah, listen, listen. Let
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: me tell you something.
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: That moment of us finding out I was pregnant again,
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: Like I didn't think I that wasn't the plan, but
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: it was God's plan. And when I really happened, like
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: as soon as we got pregnant and then we had
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: our son, I literally was just.
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: Like, oh, this is why.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: Like I, of course we have a beautiful love and
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: life and connection and I really do feel like that
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: is my person. But when we had our son, I
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: literally was like, oh this, yeah, this little spirit wanted
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: us to get our together so that he could be here.
• 53:36
  Speaker 12: There's so much that I'm hearing in what you said.
• 53:39
  Speaker 12: Number one, the power of intention, absolutely, because you told
• 53:42
  Speaker 12: your homegirl, I need to find my person. The set boundaries,
• 53:46
  Speaker 12: find peace, peace feet. The set boundaries find peace part
• 53:49
  Speaker 12: is very important, and you know, just people doing the
• 53:52
  Speaker 12: work and what's for you want to escape you.
• 53:55
  Speaker 4: It's there for you time and time again. You just
• 53:57
  Speaker 4: have to trust the process, you really do. You have
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: to be willing to journey and pay attention and learn
• 54:03
  Speaker 4: and allow yourself to be a student of life. Like truly,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: like in all the work that I feel like I've
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: done on myself, I'm still learning. I'm still being tested.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: These kids come along and test you. They show you
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: parts of yourself that you didn't even know. You know
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: that you still needed to work on in marriage, even
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: at this time right now, we're both in the busiest
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: seasons of our lives together and that's a challenge, you know.
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: So how do we navigate that we're not the same
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: people we were. We have more responsibilities, more stress, so,
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: you know, it's just it's an evolution always. But the intention,
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: the power of intention is everything. You cannot do anything
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: without intention.
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, but the settin boundaries part though, just the fact
• 54:41
  Speaker 12: that you were firm in your nose.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: No one could expound on that. Why is that important?
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: I think for a lot of my life I was
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: a people pleaser, and I think for a lot of
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: my life I felt like I had to be nice
• 54:52
  Speaker 4: and I had to get along and I had to
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: go with the flow and not rock the boat. And
• 54:56
  Speaker 4: I really realized that you get more by people knowing
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: that you know who you are and that you can't
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: be swayed on that. And I think that no is
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: we hear it a complete sentence, you know, and you
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: don't have to be rude about anything like no, thank you,
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah you know what not at this moment, I appreciate that,
• 55:15
  Speaker 4: but no thank you, I'll pass Like there's so many ways,
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: you know, that doesn't align with me right now, there's
• 55:20
  Speaker 4: so many ways we can say no.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: That's still empower us.
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: And if you don't want to feel offensive, but the
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: setting boundaries is everything, because again, I think because of
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: the boundaries that I've set for myself in my life,
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: I can now freely say yes and feel like I'm
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: doing it from wisdom, from experience, from divine protection. I
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: feel like the universe responds when you operate at a
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: high frequency, and so I know that I've done the work.
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: You cannot get to that free space of saying yes
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: by just being like I'm gonna just say yes to
• 55:46
  Speaker 4: everybody that's people please intending yes. The say yes from
• 55:49
  Speaker 4: a points of empowerment comes from setting those boundaries, so
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: they go hand in hand.
• 55:52
  Speaker 12: Another thing that you've talked about, You know, this conversation
• 55:55
  Speaker 12: that I would love to just expound on because somebody
• 55:57
  Speaker 12: was up here. I forgot who it was, and they
• 55:59
  Speaker 12: were just saying how work life balance does not exist, Like,
• 56:01
  Speaker 12: there's no such thing. It's a lie that we tell ourselves.
• 56:04
  Speaker 12: You're gonna give your energy to your family, and that's
• 56:07
  Speaker 12: gonna be that you're gonna give your energy to your work,
• 56:09
  Speaker 12: and that's gonna be that. Like you said earlier, it's
• 56:11
  Speaker 12: not gonna be fifty to fifty. It might be ninety ten.
• 56:13
  Speaker 12: Cold you just expound on that little Yeah.
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: You know, they say something that I've heard many people says,
• 56:17
  Speaker 4: you can have it all, you just can't have it
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: all at the same time. And so, you know, I
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: think for the well being of ourselves, we have to
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: give ourselves grace to be able to just be like,
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: I want to show up one hundred percent in everything,
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: But all you got to do is show up one
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: hundred percent where you're at in that moment. If that's
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: cooking dinner, that's what I'm doing today. I'm cooking dinner.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: I'm doing that. Multitasking is this thing that they've told us,
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: you know, like it's not actually real. We're not supposed
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: to be able to multitask. Like the only thing we
• 56:45
  Speaker 4: really can do is like talk and look at the
• 56:47
  Speaker 4: same time walk maybe and talk. You know, in order
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: to be present and really great at something, you really
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: do have to give it your full attention, parenting, marriage,
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: all of these things. So you can only do that
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: in certain times of your day. You know, I don't
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: know how how many hours Beyonce has because they say,
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: you know, she got more than twenty four hours because
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: she'd be getting done. But you know, in my twenty
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: four hour day. I just do the best I can
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: in the moment. You know, right now I'm not checking
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: on my kids.
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah I can't. I'm here.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: So you just have to give yourself the grace to
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: just say, like I said, sometimes it's ninety, sometimes it's ten.
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: Just do the best every day, one hundred percent. And
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: if you and if you're one hundred percent.
• 57:23
  Speaker 5: See we don't do have little lips. But she is smiling.
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: Once time zoomed all the way in Melanie.
• 57:28
  Speaker 12: He does about how you focus your your head? Who
• 57:32
  Speaker 12: picture fast?
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: And I had no idea that she was really smiling.
• 57:35
  Speaker 5: So what is she looking at?
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: What is she is? She?
• 57:38
  Speaker 5: Is she stoic? Is she happy? Is she said? We
• 57:40
  Speaker 5: don't know what her I say, I say that she
• 57:42
  Speaker 5: is said.
• 57:43
  Speaker 12: We don't even know if that's a woman. We do it.
• 57:45
  Speaker 5: And that's the thing. There's so much conversation about the moment.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, all right, we appreciate you for joining us.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Thank a thirteen year stranger.
• 57:51

• 58:31
  Speaker 3: It's the latest on the Breakfast Club to me.
• 58:36
  Speaker 8: So.
• 58:36
  Speaker 6: Jason Wilson was on All the Smoke with Matt Barnes
• 58:39
  Speaker 6: and Stephen A seven Stephen Jackson, Oh sorry, I wrote Stee.
• 58:45
  Speaker 12: Jackson All the Smoke podcasts. You can listen to All
• 58:47
  Speaker 12: the Smoke podcasts on the blackfect Her Radio podcast.
• 58:49
  Speaker 5: Yes, Friends of the Room. Now. They talked about the
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: power of men crying. That's sa listen.
• 58:56
  Speaker 19: You spoke to the power of crying and I, you know,
• 58:58
  Speaker 19: kind of briefly shared my story of growing up by
• 59:01
  Speaker 19: racial black dad, Italian mom, drugs abuse, alcohol, violence, losing
• 59:07
  Speaker 19: my mom at twenty seven, so it'll be eighteen years
• 59:10
  Speaker 19: this November, and I haven't cried. Like I'm starting to
• 59:13
  Speaker 19: feel it down, you know, and I feel like I'm
• 59:14
  Speaker 19: almost pouring from an empty cup. And you know, through
• 59:16
  Speaker 19: my actions, I literally just lost my family. I wasn't
• 59:20
  Speaker 19: there emotionally, I wasn't empathetic. So my question is, like,
• 59:23
  Speaker 19: how do you cry if you don't, I don't won't
• 59:26
  Speaker 19: say I don't know how to cry because I've cried before,
• 59:27
  Speaker 19: but I haven't cried in probably thirty years.
• 59:29
  Speaker 20: Your guard, you have to change your perspective of what
• 59:32
  Speaker 20: crying is. It's really is a sign of you being human,
• 59:35
  Speaker 20: and until we get to the place where we can
• 59:37
  Speaker 20: release it, that's when you always feel this raise, this anger,
• 59:41
  Speaker 20: never feeling settled. You gotta smoke some weed, You gotta
• 59:44
  Speaker 20: get something to drink.
• 59:45
  Speaker 12: You need to call on that girl, like when is
• 59:47
  Speaker 12: enough is enough?
• 59:48
  Speaker 20: Peace is not the absence of chaos, trials, tests, adversity.
• 59:54
  Speaker 20: It's having a calm heart in the midst of those things.
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: Dropping cluse mother Jason Wilson to I love that black man.
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: Right there, you hit me.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 6: It was a great conversay. All should go watch the conversation.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 6: It was a great conversation. I'm going to send it
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: to I've already sent it to a few people that
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: I think she'll watch it. But now he mentioned Matt
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 6: Barnes mentioned losing his family and when he started talking,
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 6: so a while back up, maybe like a month or
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 6: two back, his then fiance and Anti Sims.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 5: I believe that's how I say her name. Sorry if
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 5: it's incorrect.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 6: She seemingly like accused, not even seemingly, she accused Matt
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 6: Barnes of cheating with eight different women.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 5: Back in January. She went on.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 6: Instagram and was like she posted this post and it
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 6: was like dang, Matt, eight different women. And then she
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 6: came back out and was like talking about who the
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 6: different women were and stuff like that. But then it
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 6: was all taken down and we heard nothing about it.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 6: And then now this clip surfaces, so people are like, oh, shoot,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 6: so that really did happen. And you know, they have
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 6: kids together, she had just welcomed their baby boy, so
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 6: people were trying to figure it out. He just he
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 6: just you know, answered a lot of like the speculation,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 6: but it triggered her, so she posted in respond, if
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 6: you're going to talk publicly about our personal business, tell
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 6: the whole story. You don't post have truths about me
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 6: and our past relationship became sympathy from the masses. I'm
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 6: in the trenches doing the hard work making sure all
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 6: of our kids are okay. You made no effort to
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 6: emotionally support all of our children through this traumatic transition
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 6: that you caused, but you're willing to be vulnerable for
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 6: strangers on the ground for profit. Please keep my name
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 6: out of your mouth. Since I've left, I said nothing
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 6: about you, and you know there's so much I can
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 6: say about the man you truly were to me. If
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 6: you don't have respect for me, at least have respect
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 6: for our children who follow you and see your posts.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 6: Your posts are triggering for the kids and I. While
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 6: we're in the midst of healing and rebuilding our lives,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 6: we're we're the ones who reaped all of the damage
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 6: you caused by your constant, selfish, toxic choices. You didn't
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 6: consider our kids and your actions before, so please try
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 6: to consider them now. If you want to do some good,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 6: please don't speak about me. Go get consistent therapy, and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 6: most importantly, start building a relationship with God, peace and blessings.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: I mean, her feelings are valid. I don't know if
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 12: it's fair for her to say that. You know, are
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 12: imply that what Matt is doing is performative because he
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 12: said it on his podcast and content matters, right, Like
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 12: Jason Wilson, he really does have that effect on people.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 12: If you've ever read his book Battle Cry or Cry
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 12: Like a Man, or you know his new book Demand
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 12: the Moment Demands, Jason has that impact on people. And
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 12: if you read those books, maybe Matt felt like that
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 12: was a safe space for him to have that conversation
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: and be vulnerable. Like if you want to be vulnerable
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: with somebody, you know, it should be with somebody like
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 12: a Jason Wilson.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but she might feel also that you know, they
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: never dealt with their problems and to hear it online
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: could be triggering to them. So but also, like you said,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: is he's being vulnerable. He's saying he lost his family,
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: He's saying maybe he needs to cry. So it's a
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: tough space because if I want to talk about my feelings,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about my feelings, but I don't
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: want to affect you. I'm sure he didn't want to
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: trigger her. I'm sure that wasn't his intention. But you know,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: they were just having a normal conversation.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 12: Yeah, and I heard, I mean from what I heard
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 12: from that clip. I haven't listened the whole conversation yet.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 12: I will this weekend. It sounds like he was feeling
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 12: like he needed to take accountability in that moment. It's
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 12: not like it was some things that he had been
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 12: thinking about for a while, and once again he felt
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 12: like he was in a safe space to share that
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 12: with somebody like Jason Wilson.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 6: I think that when you watch it you'll realize, Like
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 6: the lead up to the conversation, Jason Wilson talks about
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 6: his wife and like a time where he had met
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 6: well they're perfect, Yeah, And he said that there was
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 6: one point where, like they were in the kitchen, he
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 6: said to his wife like, dang, I really want to
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 6: spend time more time with our son, And his wife
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 6: was spinding to say, I wish you would want to
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 6: spend more time with me, like you want to spend
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 6: with your son, And in that moment, he had to
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 6: take accountability for how absent he was without even kind
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 6: of like consciously thinking about it. And I think, you know,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 6: as the conversation went along, because that was the very beginning,
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 6: This is kind of like midpoint. It made Matt like,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 6: I think he felt he identified, he saw himself because
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 6: he said that he had been cold in a lot
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 6: of the situations like you mentioned, because of the things
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 6: he went through.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 12: So you have to know who Jason Wilson is. You know,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 12: Jason's been up here on Breakfast Club a bunch of times.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: He comes to my mental Wealth ex for every year
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 12: I've read his books. If you know who he is,
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 12: you would know why Matt felt like that was a
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 12: safe space to have that conversation.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 6: And I can also understand though her feeling a little
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 6: triggered by hey, there's this whole picture of us. We
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 6: just had the happy family and then boom, all these
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 6: women and all these different things that she's a legends.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: But also this might be the starter and hopefully that
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: could open up to that conversation if they both need
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: to have that conversation.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 12: And what you said, absolutely we all need therapy and
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 12: we all need God one hundred percent believe in therapy.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 6: And got well switching gears, Uh, you did this story
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 6: for Dunkey today. Chris Lewis, the guy who left his
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 6: kids in the car where he was at the job
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 6: interview slash not job interview.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: The back and forth that's happening right now.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 6: Well, I had actually reached out to go fund me
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 6: because Antonio Brown created us.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: Reached out to go fund me.
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: Yes, because now, let me tell you so, Antonio Brown
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 6: created a go fund He's like, I want to raise
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 6: money for this family because from what he had been
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 6: told by Chris Lewis's girlfriend, they were homeless, it was
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 6: a job interview, whatever, whatever. There's a police report that
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 6: came out that said the complete opposite that debunked that, right,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 6: So then Ab had to come out and say he
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: was still working on figuring out if this was real
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 6: or not. He has said in previous posts, if it
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 6: wasn't real, everybody's getting everybody would be refunded. And I
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: just felt like, okay, because there's so much like we
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 6: don't know, speculation back and forth.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 12: What don't we know them?
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 3: Well, we know he wasn't on a job interview.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: He's posting as if he's going to figure out some
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: more information.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 12: The players already put out the whole report. The baby
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 12: mama has spoken, the ten year old job is spoken.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 6: Well, there are people who still believe that this man
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 6: should have some sympathy. There are people that feel like
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 6: he shouldn't. I just want to see where a go
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 6: fundme sat at, because I feel like, if you've given
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 6: money and it's disconfusing, I want my money right now,
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 6: but I gotta wait until it's dispersed.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: So I want to figure out how that was going
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 5: to work.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 6: But what they said to me was that the fund
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 6: raiser at this point is it returned, it remains within
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 6: their terms of service. So basically they have to like
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 6: go with whatever their trust and the safety of those
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: terms of service is. And then once they get to
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 6: a final decision, like they're trying to figure it out
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 6: as well too, then yes, funds will be refunded. But
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 6: I thought that because of all the debunking, all the
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 6: things that came out, people would start getting refunds right now.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 6: But I'm looking at and the go fundme is still here.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 6: You can still donate that eighty three thousand dollars. Over
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 6: eighty three thousand dollars, No.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: Baby should talk to the baby mama, he said. He
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 12: spoke to a girlfriend. He should talk to the mother
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: of the child, the mother of the child, who said
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 12: in the police report she has told him to stop
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 12: leaving these kids unattended multiple times.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 6: Well, also to go funny said that they do have
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 6: a policy where like you can go and requst your
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 6: refund and get your money. Now, I just thought like
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 6: a mass disperson was going to happen, and ab did
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 6: mention that too, he said, you know, he said, he's
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 6: still gathering additional information.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 12: Get them money to the baby mama. Get the money
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 12: to the baby mama, because if you know those kids
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 12: are being left unattended by the baby's father, give the
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 12: give the money to the baby mother.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Let the baby mother. Have the mom not absolutely let the.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 12: Baby mother of the three kids who got left unattended,
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 12: let them get the money.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: Maybe she could put them in daycare or whatever whatever
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: she wanted.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 12: To give it to the mother of those three children.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: But I think you have to make sure that's a
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: proved by the people donating money, because they donating money
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: for a particular reason.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: But I think you have to make sure that's fine
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: to do as well.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm pretty sure, I'm not for sure how that works,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: but I can ask. But yeah, just wanted to give
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 6: that little update there that's still here and go fund
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: me said, at this point, they're not doing anything wrong.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 12: And by the way, if, if, if the father is
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 12: very responsible with the kids, you think he's gonna be
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 12: responsible with money.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: What are we talking about, y'all?
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 5: Eighty three thousand dollars?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: Y'all be having so much sympathy for niggas and niggas.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: But whatever, all right, you forgot where he came from.
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 3: You forgot I forgot that you used the kids.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 12: Just get clean on the map.
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 17: You Aaron, and say that nobody said that.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 12: You said, stop with them. We'll play the clip back later.

• 1:09:07
  Speaker 12: something that starts with an M and half three syllables.
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 12: But it's not meditate, it's masturbate. I can see people
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 12: doing it for scratch reduction. And that's why, as I've
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 12: gotten noted, I'll be shaking everybody hand. Okay, I get

  Speaker 12: pounds because folks be out here going, you know, on

• 1:09:23
  Speaker 12: coming back in the workplace like that's just mayonnaise from
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 12: a tuna sandwich on their thumb. And that's the story
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 12: with Tim Ross. Okay, would you like to hear more? Yes,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 12: let's go to KAX News for the report.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 13: Police mine Not Mayor Tom Ross has now resigned. This
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 13: comes after an internal investigation was conducted after mayn Not
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 13: City attorney Stephanie Staalheim submitted a sexual harassment complaint. KAX
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 13: News obtained the full investigative report. The report states on
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 13: the morning of January fourteenth, Ross called Stalheim to inform
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 13: her that an officer with may Not Police had died.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 13: Eleven minutes after that phone call, the report states that
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 13: she received a text message from Ross with a video
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 13: attached to it. Ross then called Stalheim asking her not
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 13: to watch the video and simply delete it, saying it
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 13: was intended for Ross's girlfriend. The report says she was
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 13: under distress after hearing of the officer's passing, then being
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 13: told by the mayor to delete a message. Just eleven
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 13: minutes later, she was being consoled by other colleagues and
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 13: Stallheim then tried to delete the video but accidentally hit play.
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 13: There was a sexually explicit video of Ross. Ross has
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 13: since resigned as mayor. Just after three o'clock this afternoon.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 12: Now Tom put out a statement and he said, I
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 12: do take responsibility for this mistake. As if anyone else
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 12: could take responsibility, and if it was anyone else's fault,
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 12: it's your penis your hand. Nobody was buffing your browser,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 12: but you okay, you open that self care app yourself.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: You swiped right solo.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 12: Who else could take responsibility?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: Tom?
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 12: What else I found funny was when he said I
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 12: tried to immediately correct it and was unable. What does
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 12: that even mean? You can't injerk yourself? You mean you
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 12: tried to unsend the picture but the person you sent
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 12: it to didn't have an iPhone?
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 3: Is that what that was?
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 7: Damn?
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 12: What do you mean? You tried to correct it but
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 12: was unable. You were engaging and gentlemanly jousting. Okay, by
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 12: the way, nothing wrong with that, but it's a time
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 12: and a place for everything, and on your lunch break
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 12: isn't the place nor the time. And what makes this
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 12: story extra funny is he sent it to Stephanie Stallhim,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 12: who's the city attorney. You just heard the news report
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 12: and she told investigators she had just spoken to Ross
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 12: about the police officer's passing, okay, just minutes before she
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 12: received a video of the mayor doing the five finger shuffle.
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 12: She told the mayor that a police officer had just transitioned,
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 12: had just passed away, and he responded by sending a
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 12: video of him making the bald man cry yogurt. Can
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 12: you imagine? Okay, I told you about an officer passing away,
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 12: and you send me a video of you making tartar
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 12: sauce rainbows. I prayed, Tom, didn't you know? Hang up
• 1:11:56

• 1:12:03
  Speaker 12: video and end up sending the video.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 3: Of you hulks smashing your slong.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 12: Today's my Angelw's birthday.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 5: I was wondering why you brought her into this.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 12: She was on my spirit. I think it's it's her
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 12: birthday record. Yes, okay, Now, for the record, Tom didn't
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 12: mean to blow the horn and send the video and

  Speaker 12: him making pearl jam to Stephanie. You heard the news report.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 12: He meant to send something structure to his girlfriend, but
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 12: mistakes happened and he sent the video of him making

• 1:12:29
  Speaker 12: Stephanie fid and official harassment complaint as she should have.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 12: She asked for a formal apology from the mayor, which
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 12: she got, and she requested that he consider resigning, which
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 12: he did. Listen, man, this is why I just believe
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 12: some things just have to be done the old fashioned way,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 12: and things that you do in your bedroom, in the
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 12: privacy of your own residents should stay there. Everything isn't
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 12: for digital consumption. Everything isn't, you know, to share on smartphones.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 12: Do we even call private parts pride it anymore? We
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 12: should get back to that. Do we have to record
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 12: and share every single damn thing nowadays? Especially intimate moments
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 12: like that. I don't know who needed to hear this today.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 12: But your phone is not a safe space, never has been,
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 12: never will be, especially if you got social media. A
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 12: safe space, last time I checked, was a place where
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 12: you can be yourself without fear of judgment or punishment.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 12: Can't find that place on your phone. A safe space
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 12: is a place where you can be alone, you know
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 12: if you want, not when you seeking comfort and validation
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 12: from social media apace. A safe space is populated with
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 12: things that can make you happy and satisfied. You not
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 12: finding none of that on your phone. So why would
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 12: you share some of your most intimate moments with this device?
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 12: Please give Mayor Tom Ross of North Dakota the sweet
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 12: sounds of the Hamiltons.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: Oh no, you are the dog.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 7: Of the day, all the day.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 17: Ye you're hitting, you're hitting folders. Not a safe space,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 17: I don't think so. I don't know why we're so
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 17: comfortable with our with our smartphones. I really don't eat it.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: I don't like that calculated. That's really not a calculator.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about, but I don't know.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know what you don't know? Is that fair?
• 1:14:32

• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: intention to send it to you. I made a mistake.
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: And because you get it, you're gonna go to human resources.
• 1:14:59

• 1:15:02

  Speaker 3: Is that?

  Speaker 5: so into other places.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: John Hope Brian, when we come back, don't move. It's
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Sloco Morning, the Breakfast Club.
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 7: Morning.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 3: Everybody is the j n V.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 1: Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne the God, We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: We got a special guest in the building.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, indeed we have John Hope Brian, welcome back, brother here,
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 1: how you feeling?
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: And John O'Brien is here. I mean that there's some
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: good things going on in the world.
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 12: First of all, you can't paring gifts or bad but
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 12: at least the things that are bad you can explain,
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 12: especially when it comes to some financial stuff.
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 7: Rainbows only follow storms. You cannot have a rainbow without
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 7: a storm. First scientifics fact, actually, but.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: Let's let's jump right into it. I was actually thinking
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: about you the other day. With all the tariffs that
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: that Trump is putting on the country, and you know,
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: people are looking to purchase their force homes all that,
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: what would you advise.
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 3: People to do?
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 1: Right, Because they're saying with the tariffs, they're saying the
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: price of materials are going to go up in price.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: They're saying the price of cars and the parts are
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: going to be shooting up. What would you advise people
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: to do if they're looking for home ownership at this
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: point in their life.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 7: Ignore the noise. It's just noise, Just like DEI was
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 7: a distraction. Why are we all getting over the EI
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 7: We're fifth on the list? Why are we the poster
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 7: child for TI? Right? But they wanted us to be
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 7: the poster child somebody did Somebody wanted black people to
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 7: be because that triggers racial overtones and all that other
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 7: kind of stuff that wasn't even our fight. This is
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 7: not our fight. This is this is somebody else's problem
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 7: at the moment. This is like hitting if you want
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 7: to get in a fight. It's like hitting your face
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 7: on my fist if you want to fight. That's what.
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 7: This is the biggest economy on the planet, America. We're
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 7: twenty five percent of the global economy. We're forty percent
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 7: of global wealth in the world. We're big ballists. Out
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 7: of eight billion people, it's only three to fifty million people,
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 7: but we lead the whole world. But seventy percent of economy.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 7: It's not rich people, it's not big business. It's you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 7: and me paying for car notes and mortgages. And it
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 7: was a car service that brought me here. It's a
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 7: breakfast that we had this morning. So this economy can't
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 7: succeed without us succeeding first of all. So this party
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 7: ultimately will pivot back to what's going to drive the
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 7: economy because this is a capitalist democracy, big c little deep,
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 7: it's a free enterprise to mine. So I tell people
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 7: ignore the noise this stuff. If it's not working, Washington's
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 7: gonna have to pivot. There's a strategy in Washington I
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 7: was at the Secretary of the Treasury a couple of
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 7: days ago. Who I actually like. I think he's actually
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 7: a decent guy.
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 12: Please break that down because I need to know the strategy.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 12: I don't understand it.
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 7: Well, no, no, I didn't say understood it.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 12: You're gone too far.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 7: I said. First of all, I said, I like him,
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 7: and he and I got to work together on financial literacy.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 7: We don't you know, we're not gonna agree on everything.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 7: I was with him for an hour. I didn't break
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 7: I didn't address this issue because his boss has already
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 7: made up his mind, and I know I didn't want
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 7: to put him in an uncomfortable situation ask him questions
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 7: that he can't answer. Uh, this has to play itself out.
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 7: I mean, the country is having one big colonic right now,
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 7: so it's gonna take as long as it will take.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 7: I don't think it's gonna take very long. You're not
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 7: talked about this, and either he's writer or he's not.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 7: The only way is terrfts work. And I could break
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 7: down what a tariff is by the way it's those
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 7: people understand it. The only way a tariff works is
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 7: if it's short term and it's tied to you negotiating
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 7: something from whoever you're trying to extract something from another country.
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 7: If it's your long term strategy in a country that
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 7: is consumer spending, it's a disaster because it's a tax
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 7: on you and me. And I'm getting ahead of myself.
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 7: Let me the tariff for a tariff, and as simple
• 1:20:50
  Speaker 7: as I can describe, it is a tax on American
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 7: businesses and American conservatives. So this concept of I'm gonna
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: you've hit me, you're a China, your Russia, wherever India
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 7: you hit me, I'm gonna hit you back now a
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 7: tear might because the cost of the thing has gone up.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 7: Might mean we find Chinese goods less attractive, we find
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 7: Indian goods less attractive because what costs a dollar now
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 7: costs a dollar eighty. So maybe we say, oh, I
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 7: don't want any more of that. But the important the
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 7: American business pays the tax at the duty station, and
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 7: what is that import going to do. What is a
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 7: big company going to do when they get hit with
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 7: higher prices that there's no fault of their own increase?
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 7: It's common sense. This is a radical movement of common sense.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 7: They pass that on to you with me, so our
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 7: prices of everything is going to go up unless in
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 7: a month he changes his mind again, which he's apt
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 7: to do and says I was just kidding. Now, let
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 7: me go one step further and tell you how that's
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 7: the only way this could have worked. If he's saying
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 7: he wants to promote domestic production, he wants to bring
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 7: everything back home. Their argument, although American American manufacturer very good.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 7: American as a matric manufacturing hub of old school manufacturing
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 7: ended in the nineteen seventies. That's why there's more poor
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 7: whites in America than poor anybody else, because they had
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 7: a high school education, hustle, and the jobs they were
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 7: doing walked away. In nineteen forty nineteen fifty, Detroit was
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 7: the richest city in the world for automotive in the world,
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 7: richer than prayers, richer than that relates. That was one
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 7: of the poorest because the business plan for manufacturing walked
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 7: away from America. It went to places that were cheaper.
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 7: Now we can be America, we can be a manufacturing
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 7: center today, but it's gonna be high tech manufacturing. It's
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 7: gonna be artificial and ti legends and robotics, which you
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 7: need education for Back to the story. The only way
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 7: this would have worked is if the president said, you know,
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 7: a year before elected, get all the bankers together, get
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 7: all the fortune five hundred companies together, and look, you
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 7: got it. I'm gonna be president of the year. Just
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 7: believe me. What I need you to do. Go to
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 7: your boards, Go to your governance committees at the boards.
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 7: Go to your bankers who allocate capital. Go to Walt
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 7: tell them I'm coming and tell them to put capital
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 7: aside for manufacturing at home. Also because I'm gonna have terrace. Also,
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 7: I need you to go to Staten Island. I need
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 7: you to go to little towns in Cleveland. I need
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 7: you to go to Detroit where and cut deals for land.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 7: I'm just breaking this down right, and and get the
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 7: cities to support you and we By the way, you
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 7: need get a AI. You're gonna need a bunch of
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 7: energy to fuel these AI factors. You need to get
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 7: some uh you know, electricity and water things generated I need.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 7: I'm gonna give you a year because it's gonna be
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 7: tens of billions of dollars in investment. And now that
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 7: I'm committed to this, my whole president, this is a
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 7: new America and the CEOs go, okay, we're with you.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 7: We want to bring this back. And by the way,
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 7: what's what's what's in it for us? And he has
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 7: these economic models and shows blah blah blah period of time.
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 7: This is gonna be short term pain, long term game. Okay,
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 7: none of that happened. Look, I'm not four against. I'm
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 7: just saying I like math that doesn't have an opinion.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 7: I'm just saying, my friend Stevie Wanner can see this.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 7: None of this is going to work long term because
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 7: there is no planning.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 12: And that's what I wanted to talk about. Like, I
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 12: love the conversation you were having, but I want to
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 12: put some boots on the ground with it. When you
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 12: talk about these working class people, the average everyday person
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 12: living check the tech, just trying to pay their rent,
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 12: just trying to buy groceries, what should they do in
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 12: regards to these tasks, like could you tell you know,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 12: you're telling everybody else just to be cool and silence
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 12: and noise.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 3: They don't have that luxury.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 7: Oh no, this is our time. You can't fall from
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 7: the floor. Black folks, we've been in Brown folks, we've
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 7: been doing so much with so little for so long,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 7: we can almost do anything with nothing. I mean a
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 7: crisis for us is Tuesday. I mean we wake up
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 7: in christ this is actually our asset and our problem.
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 7: Before now it was just our problem. I wrote my
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 7: last book of financial literacy for all, which, by the way,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 7: thanks for helping me launch. It is still number one
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 7: a year later in business finance, not black just black history.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 7: If something is business finans in the world. But two
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 7: books before was a book called The Memo. And in
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 7: the Memo I said, basically, there's something that is what
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 7: we don't know that we don't know. No one gave
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 7: us a memo on how the economy works. And I said,
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 7: there's three times of people. There's a surviving mindset. There's
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 7: a thriving mindset as a winning building mindset. Most people
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 7: talk about their ideas. Poor people talk about other people.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 7: So if you have a surviving mindset that the glass
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 7: is half empty, not half full, it's the same glass.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 7: But whether you believe you can, whether you believe you can't,
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 7: you're right right.
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 3: We got bored with John Hope Bryant.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: When we come back, it's the breakfast Club. Good morning, Morning,
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: everybody Envy Jesse, Larry Charlamage the God.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 3: We are the Breakfast Club.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with John Hope Bryant. Now what
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: are you doing this weekend?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 3: Again?
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 7: Screen forward what you're involved in. And I would love
• 1:25:27
  Speaker 7: to have all of you involved in, by the way,
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 7: because you're all voices for this generation. This is a
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 7: meeting between Republicans and Democrats. We have Second Senator Raphael
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 7: or Not, who is the fifth chap pastor of Ebenezer
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 7: Church and a Democrat senator. We have Mick Molvaney, former
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 7: chief of staff for Trump. We have the Black Pope,
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 7: Bishop T. D. Jakes. We have the man who is
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 7: on the balcony with doctor King, Ambassador Andrew Young. We
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 7: have doctor King's daughter, Doctor Bernice A.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 19: King.
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 7: She's a great person. We've got a brother killing my killer,
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 7: Mike t I. It is an amazing lineup. I just
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 7: talked to doctor Ben Chavis this morning. There's one hundred delegates,
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 7: Bounty delegates of Mark Morrell, the National Urban League. Everybody
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 7: who you think of or may or may not have
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 7: known about who is at the top of the mark.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 7: They're going to be there. In fact that we just
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 7: now yesterday. The dropping the drop the Mike keynote to
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 7: walk out the stage is Sam Altman, who is the
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 7: Steve Jobs of this generation. That's AI. So it is
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 7: a way to honor doctor King, not by just marching
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 7: in the streets, but cutting business deals in the suites.
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 7: It is continuing his unfinished work of the Poor People's Campaign.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 7: It is his last book. Whatever we go from here
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 7: is answering that with a dream forward. And there's no complaining.
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 7: There's no politics, there's no whining, there's no talking about politicians.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 7: This is about us moving forward for two hours, a
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 7: positive plan, and people will be able to download the
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 7: business plans we wrote and you can have it. You
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 7: can talk about to the kitchen table, you can mark
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 7: it up, change it. But this is full transparency. We
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 7: wrote a plan. Typically this happens behind closed doors. We've
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 7: written these plans and they will be available to everybody.

• 1:27:24
  Speaker 7: part of it. We've tried to be as inclusive as
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 7: we can. We've got a video yesterday from the new

  Speaker 7: Chairman of the Senate Bank Committee, Tim Scott Brother and

• 1:27:46
  Speaker 7: by the way, was assassinated April fourth, nineteen sixty eight,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 7: at six pm Central time. That's the exact time. He
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 7: actually had a pillow fight. Right before he was assassinated,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 7: he had just relaxed, and he knew he was gonna
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 7: be He knew he was gonna be killed. The night before.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 7: It was the only time he ever collapsed on stage.
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 7: He gave a speech called the Mountaintop. I've been to
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 7: the mountain. I've seen the mountaintop. I may not get
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 7: there with you. He knew it, and he collapsed in
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 7: his and Andrew Young and Jesse Jackson's arms and others.
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 7: And the next day they Andrew Young tells me they
• 1:28:20

• 1:28:22
  Speaker 7: be at the Lorae Motell, by the way, I will
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 7: today and he just thought it was eerie that Doctor
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 7: King was so light, and he walked out that balcony
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 7: and the world changed. And what nobody knows is later
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 7: on the FBI told and Bashador Young the instructions for
• 1:28:39
  Speaker 7: the shooter was if you if you missed, the dreamer
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 7: killed the strategies. That's Andrew Young. So he hasn't been
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 7: able to sleep for all these years. Wow, the guy
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 7: who created the Ozzie and a Harrietville for black people
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 7: in the world. Atlanta, Georgia is the only international city
• 1:28:54
  Speaker 7: in the South five hundred and fifty billion dollars economy,
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 7: the same size as Singapore, by the way, So we
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 7: prove and we can build a world economy. The guy
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 7: who did that brought the Olympics to Atlanta, the only
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 7: mayor of it, mentored by doctor King. Can't sleep, so
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 7: we owe him a debt. We owe all the heroes
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 7: and heroes and leaders who came before us a debt.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 7: We owe those who are trying to fight for our
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 7: civil rights now a debt to carry on this work
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 7: and not just be about me, but to be about we.
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 7: This is you can't just be selfish anymore. Like we
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 7: have got to be about all of us, and this
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 7: is this is our time. If you want to be
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 7: a part of history. You want to feel like your
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 7: life really mattered. It's right now in my opinion, and
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 7: there are answers to these questions. I mean, there's nothing
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 7: that we talked about this morning that's rocket science.

  Speaker 7: sixty days, was to flood the system, overwhelm you. You
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 7: throw your hands up and you give up. No, no,

• 1:31:02
  Speaker 7: They were so impressed with what we were doing. Their
• 1:31:05

  Speaker 7: business plan. I talked a little bit about that today.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 7: I mentioned there's seven and fifty billion available just for
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 7: this is the Black American plan through credit score increases.
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 7: We can do that ourselves. I'm doing that at Operation Hope.
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 7: Increasing increasing credit score is fifty to one hundred points.
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 7: By the way, don't pay anybody to raise your credits
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 7: that you don't need that. We do it for free.
• 1:31:45
  Speaker 7: You can be a homeowner. Forty four percent of black
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 7: people own a home compared to seventy five percent of
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 7: our white counterparts. The number one way you build wealth
• 1:31:52

  Speaker 12: Now the positive note is this today is Maya Angelou's
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 12: born day. How old would I have been today that
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 12: we know she would.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 5: Be ninety seven? Years old today, she would.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 3: Be ninety seven. Now.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 12: Actually, you know, I'm gonna tell you that. I'm gonna
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 12: tell you why that's important. A lot of times we'd
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 12: be saying she a person would have been an age
• 1:40:09
  Speaker 12: that they would not have been. She potentially could have
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 12: been ninety seven. Still, sometimes we'd be like, such and
• 1:40:13
  Speaker 12: such would have been one hundred and thirty two. They no,
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 12: they wouldn't have Okay, but ninety seven she would have been.
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 12: But one of my favorite quotes from Maya Angelou, and
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 12: this is the positive note. If you don't like something,
• 1:40:21
  Speaker 12: change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 12: That is just a reminder to shift your mindset. When
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 12: you can't control a situation, remember that this weekend and
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 12: have a great weekend.
• 1:40:32
  Speaker 1: Breakfast club bitch is you don't finish or y'all done.
