  Speaker 1: road to the Super Bowl, okay?

  Speaker 6: show cracking. Akeem Ali will be joining us this morning.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Akeem Ali.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: He's been asking to come on The Breakfast Club publicly
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for a few weeks now.
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: Yes. Yes.

• 2:08
  Speaker 6: So they're telling if it usually takes you 30 minutes

  Speaker 6: about an hour and a half.

• 3:30
  Speaker 10: Can you help us out please sorry That was funny, Andy.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: It wasn't funny. Go ahead.
• 3:36
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 3:37
  Speaker 11: Front Page is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's largest
• 3:41
  Speaker 11: injury law firm. So we started this morning with a
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: new development in the fight between the White House and
• 3:46
  Speaker 11: the press. So the White House, it has now launched
• 3:49
  Speaker 11: its own 24-hour streaming channel called Trump TV. It went
• 3:54
  Speaker 11: live last night promising White House announcements, President Trump's speeches,
• 3:58
  Speaker 11: and what the administration calls its biggest moments streaming around
• 4:03
  Speaker 11: the clock. And the timing here, though, it is very
• 4:05
  Speaker 11: important because Trump TV was announced just days after President
• 4:09
  Speaker 11: Trump banned CNN, MSNOW, and Politico from the White House.
• 4:13
  Speaker 11: And now some of the biggest TV networks in the country,
• 4:16
  Speaker 11: they are also coming together against that ban. and that
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: fight is changing how the president is covered. So ABC, CNN, CNN, CBS, CNN, CBS,
• 4:29
  Speaker 11: and Fox, they normally take turns when providing the TV pool,
• 4:33
  Speaker 11: meaning one network sends one camera crew to certain presidential events,
• 4:37
  Speaker 11: and they share that video amongst everybody. They share the
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: audio amongst everyone. Well, yesterday it was CNN's turn, but
• 4:44
  Speaker 11: Because CNN could not get in because they were on
• 4:47
  Speaker 11: that ban, every other network said, no, they're not going
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: to go in. So essentially, they all banned against the president.
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: So you can see him at this event yesterday, but
• 4:58
  Speaker 11: you could not hear him. And that was because the pool,
• 5:01
  Speaker 11: they normally provide the audio and the microphones for the
• 5:06
  Speaker 11: president when he's talking. And so the White House, though,
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: they are now pushing back. They are saying that those
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: three outlets, they are not being stopped from reporting on
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: the president, but they are being denied access to the
• 5:18
  Speaker 11: White House. Vice Vice President J.D. Vance, he puts it
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: like this. He says that they are being denied special access.
• 5:24
  Speaker 10: Let's listen.
• 5:26
  Speaker 12: So he's not banning media outlets. What he's doing is saying,
• 5:28
  Speaker 12: we're not going to give you special access to the
• 5:31
  Speaker 12: White House if you engage in what is effectively propaganda.
• 5:34
  Speaker 12: We have to remember those three outlets account about 92%
• 5:37
  Speaker 12: of the stories that they have on the President of
• 5:39
  Speaker 12: the United States, on the administration, are negative. So if
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: you're going to engage in what is effectively far-left propaganda,
• 5:45
  Speaker 12: why would a Republican White House give you special access?
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: They can still report.
• 5:49
  Speaker 12: They still have the access to free speech. They're just
• 5:52
  Speaker 12: not going to get an office in the White House anymore.
• 5:54
  Speaker 12: And I think it's totally appropriate unless, of course, they
• 5:56
  Speaker 12: start to behave like real news organizations.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Stop, man.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Trump restricted independent journalists. We all know what it is. OK,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: that's what occurred.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Independent news organizations have lost government access. And, you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: it's crazy. It's chaotic and reckless as President Trump seems
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: There's always chaos.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: It feels like something calculated behind it because launching a
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: government-controlled information system while also restricting independent journalists who challenge him,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that seems very calculated to me.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that seems planned. You just don't launch state-run media
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: out of the blue. That was something on the table
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: for a while now.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 6:33
  Speaker 11: Exactly. So CNN, MSNOW, and Politico, they filed a federal
• 6:37
  Speaker 11: lawsuit together yesterday arguing that the White House violated their
• 6:41
  Speaker 11: First Amendment rights in due process by revoking their access
• 6:45
  Speaker 11: because it objected to their reporting. But President Trump, of course,
• 6:49
  Speaker 11: is defending that decision, saying it's fake news and responding,
• 6:53
  Speaker 11: as you guys just said, with his own version of
• 6:55
  Speaker 11: news called Trump TV.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: State-run media. I'm surprised he's not charging. I'm surprised he
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: doesn't have subscribers.
• 7:01
  Speaker 6: I'm surprised he's not charging money for people to listen
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: to what he has to say.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I'm shocked. Or maybe not yet.
• 7:06
  Speaker 10: You're already paying for it, Envy. It's taxpayer money.
• 7:09
  Speaker 11: It's on YouTube.gov and every other platform. network or channel
• 7:16
  Speaker 11: that belongs to the White House that taxpayers pay for.
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: So in essence, we're already paying for it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Nothing to see here.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Just state-run media and restrictions on independent media.
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: You know, that's textbook authoritarianism. That's all.
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 7:32
  Speaker 11: And switching gears, President Trump and New York Mayor Zoran Mondani,
• 7:36
  Speaker 11: they met for about an hour yesterday at Gracie Mansion
• 7:39
  Speaker 11: in New York. And despite some of their major political differences,
• 7:43
  Speaker 11: they came out of their meeting talking about what they
• 7:45
  Speaker 11: may be able to work on. And one of those
• 7:47
  Speaker 11: biggest issues were housing. So Mondani, he wants to build
• 7:51
  Speaker 11: an entirely new neighborhood over a rail yard in Queens.
• 7:55
  Speaker 11: But the city can't do it alone. It would need
• 7:57
  Speaker 11: major federal funding and approval. And Mandani says that Trump
• 8:02
  Speaker 11: agreed to move those talks forward. Let's listen to really
• 8:05
  Speaker 11: quickly them talking about that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 13: We've agreed to set up a new level of that
• 8:10
  Speaker 13: conversation between our housing and operations team at City Hall
• 8:14
  Speaker 13: and the White House team, because what we're speaking about
• 8:17
  Speaker 13: is 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, the prospect of an entire
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: new neighborhood in a city where housing is the number
• 8:24
  Speaker 13: one cost.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: It's always been a great location. I owned a building
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: in Sunnyside.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: It was a great building.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I know it very well.
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: So when he mentioned Sunnyside Yards, they've been talking about
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: developing that for 50 years.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: So maybe they have a shot at doing it.
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:40
  Speaker 11: So they also talked immigration, specifically Mondani's push to restore
• 8:44
  Speaker 11: protections for Haitian immigrants in New York after the Trump administration,
• 8:48
  Speaker 11: of course, ended their temporary protected status. We've been talking
• 8:51
  Speaker 11: about that, but the two did not come to an
• 8:53
  Speaker 11: announcement or an agreement on that. And then afterwards, Trump
• 8:56
  Speaker 11: praised Mondani saying he was a great mayor. And so
• 9:01
  Speaker 11: the two vowed to continue to work together and find
• 9:03
  Speaker 11: common ground on certain things for New Yorkers.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've never seen anything like this in my life, man.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's normal and what's not normal, because
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: on one hand, you just reported the story. I mean,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you have a president who launched a state run media
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: while restricting independent journalists. And then, you know, he's also
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: yesterday just sitting next to Mondani acting like a normal politician.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Everybody's treating him normal.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: It's just all so confusing. I just want it to
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: be over.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But we know that's not going to happen normally, because
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: if you think that we're going to have free and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: fair elections come the midterms, you're stupid.
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: You're just dumb.
• 9:37
  Speaker 10: Well, yeah, well, it's coming up 43 days.
• 9:40
  Speaker 11: And that hour was sponsored by Morgan & Morgan.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Injured, know your worth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 11: Morgan & Morgan, visit America's largest law firm, visitforthepeople.com. Y'all,
• 9:50
  Speaker 11: coming up in the next hour, we had a major
• 9:52
  Speaker 11: development overnight in the case of Nolan Wells, a Mississippi
• 9:56
  Speaker 11: grand jury.
• 9:57
  Speaker 10: They finished reviewing the case. We're going to tell you
• 9:59
  Speaker 10: what they found.
• 10:00
  Speaker 11: And what, you know, still some say more questions than answers,
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: but we'll get into it.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 10:05
  Speaker 6: And everybody else, get it off your chest. Phone lines

  Speaker 4: What, three years now? Three years, yeah. It's been about
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: three years they telling you that you're going to have
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: your own segment? I remember we had that meeting. I
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: remember we had that meeting about three years ago. You
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: know what I'm saying? Three years ago we had that meeting.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: They say it was going to happen. It's coming. They're
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: putting it together. They're doing the promos now.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: It should be right by next year.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Hello, who's this?
• 11:57
  Speaker 16: Hey, it's Tisha from Texas.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: What's up, Tisha? Hey, Tisha from Texas. I'll hear from
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: you in a minute.
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: Hey, girl.
• 12:03
  Speaker 15: I know. Okay, you heard from me on September 1st.
• 12:05
  Speaker 16: It was my birthday. But now, you hear from me because, Jess, girl,
• 12:08
  Speaker 16: you were super fly after I heard music fast.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: I appreciate that.
• 12:12
  Speaker 16: I should just call it the Jess. Fashion Fest.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: Okay, just Fashion Fest. I like that, Tish. I appreciate that.
• 12:20
  Speaker 16: So now I'm really serious about this. We really need
• 12:23
  Speaker 16: to get out and vote in Texas because we don't
• 12:26
  Speaker 16: want Paxton. I know I don't, and a lot of
• 12:28
  Speaker 16: people really don't want him. And in my opinion, I
• 12:31
  Speaker 16: love Jasmine, but she's not campaigning for Tallarico like I
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: think she should. And she made the statement, so it's
• 12:39
  Speaker 16: like getting fired from your job.
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: And then still showing up.
• 12:42
  Speaker 16: But her job to me, in my opinion, and a
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: lot of my friends' opinion, is to work for the people.
• 12:48
  Speaker 15: And it means that you get out and you, you.
• 12:51
  Speaker 16: Know, campaign for the people. We don't want Paxton, so
• 12:55
  Speaker 16: help get Tallarico in. I worked for the election. We
• 13:00
  Speaker 16: had a runoff. And people were coming in, Republicans were
• 13:04
  Speaker 16: coming in saying, okay, now which way do we vote?
• 13:06
  Speaker 16: This lady asked her husband. He said, oh, we have
• 13:09
  Speaker 16: to vote the same way we did in the regular
• 13:11
  Speaker 16: election for this runoff, and then we can go back
• 13:14
  Speaker 16: to being Republicans. So that let me know that a
• 13:17
  Speaker 16: lot of them rallied to vote against Jasmine to make
• 13:20
  Speaker 16: sure that Tallarico won because they knew that they could
• 13:23
  Speaker 16: probably defeat him in November.
• 13:26
  Speaker 15: So it was a little.
• 13:27
  Speaker 16: Shady stuff going on, but we have to rally around
• 13:31
  Speaker 16: the Democratic Party if that's what we want. Republicans rally
• 13:35
  Speaker 16: around their people like nobody's business. We need to do
• 13:39
  Speaker 16: the same thing. And in my opinion, no shade to Jasmine,
• 13:43
  Speaker 16: get out there and get the vote out for Tallarico.
• 13:46
  Speaker 16: Black people, black women, we don't vote for people we
• 13:48
  Speaker 16: don't trust. Put the trust back in the people. Tell
• 13:52
  Speaker 16: them if you really believe that you're working for the people,
• 13:55
  Speaker 16: that you'll help him work for us. We don't want Paxton.
• 13:59
  Speaker 16: And I'm not, you know, going to take up all
• 14:01
  Speaker 16: this time, but I'm passionate about this. We need to
• 14:04
  Speaker 16: rally around. We need to mimic the Republicans in the
• 14:07
  Speaker 16: fashion in which they vote and vote for our party.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was reading a poll this morning that says
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Tallarico has a narrow advantage over Ken Paxton. It was
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the NBC5 Dallas Telemundo Station Group poll, and I think
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: Tallarico was 46% and Paxton was 43%.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: So we just need to do it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 16: And, you know, hopefully more people will get out, more
• 14:28
  Speaker 16: people will vote rabidly like they do. That's one thing
• 14:31
  Speaker 16: that I appreciate and I applaud them for. They don't
• 14:34
  Speaker 16: care how black she is. They don't care if she
• 14:36
  Speaker 16: cooks her greens in the in the washtub or whatever.
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: They vote for their people.
• 14:42
  Speaker 18: I love y'all.
• 14:43
  Speaker 16: Have a great.
• 14:43
  Speaker 18: Oh, let me put my Instagram.
• 14:45
  Speaker 19: Because I got motion out there.
• 14:46
  Speaker 16: Last time I put it out, it's L-D-V-E-L-D-E-E-V-Y, the number one.
• 14:52
  Speaker 15: And I got a little motion, so I want to
• 14:54
  Speaker 15: get a little more motion.
• 14:55
  Speaker 16: So thank y'all.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: Very much.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: Appreciate it. Get it off your chest.

  Speaker 14: I thought she was going to be in the hospital.
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: And come right home.

  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah. I work a pest.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: I worked a pest company for, like, all year, beginning
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: of the year.
• 17:06
  Speaker 17: And, like, I work 120 hours every two weeks.
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: And don't get paid hourly, so.
• 17:13
  Speaker 14: I get paid production commission.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: And I had someone call in.
• 17:19
  Speaker 14: I was working Saturday, and they say somebody called and
• 17:23
  Speaker 14: said a tall black guy was smelling like marijuana.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: That was you.
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: He didn't have on his uniform. It was you.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Was that you?
• 17:31
  Speaker 14: I'm not really sure if I fully smelled, but.
• 17:34
  Speaker 17: My thing is I wasn't on the clock yet.
• 17:37
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: But you still walked into somebody's house and smelled like weed?
• 17:40
  Speaker 20: Yeah, yo.
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: No, no, no, no.
• 17:42
  Speaker 14: It was somebody at the store, a gas station, randomly
• 17:45
  Speaker 14: called my truck. They randomly called the number on my
• 17:48
  Speaker 14: truck and said, I pulled up to the store, tall
• 17:52
  Speaker 14: man got out, and he smelled like marijuana and is unprofessional.
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing, though. Oh, wow. That was at
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: a gas station. But here's the thing. You know you
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: was doing it.
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: No, my, I mean, I smoked earlier.
• 18:04
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 18:05
  Speaker 15: I can admit.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: But you got it like that.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: He's like, man, that was your time.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: You was off the clock.
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: Like, don't.
• 18:12
  Speaker 14: But I wasn't on the clock yet.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: But you still represent the company because you were driving
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: the truck, though.
• 18:17
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, true.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: And you promised. And you didn't realize you still had
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: that scent on you.
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: That's all. Did you get fired?
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: I did. I really did.
• 18:25
  Speaker 17: And I normally pull over at the gas station to
• 18:27
  Speaker 17: get dressed. Spray, make sure my hat, my hair, everything
• 18:31
  Speaker 17: is normal.
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: That's what I was actually doing.
• 18:35
  Speaker 14: And, dude, I worked 120 hours every two weeks, dude.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: And, like, don't get paid hourly.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: So, like, now it's like I'm.
• 18:43
  Speaker 7: Kind of stuck.
• 18:44
  Speaker 14: And I'm like, oh, but we, like, I could have
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: at least done something to earn.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: Did they fire you? They fired you.
• 18:49
  Speaker 14: Not to say it like that, but.
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: Did they fire you? They fired you.
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: Yes, they fired me.

  Speaker 4: Well.
• 18:57
  Speaker 23: You know.
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: But I bust my butt, man.
• 19:00
  Speaker 17: Like, always since the beginning of the year, man.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: I get it.
• 19:04
  Speaker 14: I got customers already that have called and canceled their
• 19:08
  Speaker 14: service because of it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: Well, now it's the time to start your own business.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: You got customers already, so now it's time.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: With what money, Envy?

  Speaker 4: You going to send him some money? Send him some money.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: Give him some capital. Give him some startup capital.
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: He could open up the phone lines right now and
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: put his cash app out there and start up his
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: own business.
• 19:31
  Speaker 9: I actually have been building up my equipment.

• 19:38
  Speaker 7: That's right.

  Speaker 4: You got the customers. I ain't stupid.
• 19:40
  Speaker 14: I followed Charlemagne since a kid.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Which is the hardest part. You got the clientele. That's
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: the hardest part. What are you going to do?
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: What does he do?
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Pest control.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: Oh, okay.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I thought he was a truck driver. I don't know

  Speaker 14: Until the other day, bro. And you must have smelled
• 20:14
  Speaker 14: like weed.
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: Now, he said he walked into a gas station, and
• 20:23
  Speaker 6: they just seen him driving a truck, and he smelled
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: like weed, so they called.
• 20:26
  Speaker 17: It was a person at the gas station.

  Speaker 4: Gas station, yeah. Well, you know what it takes to
• 20:29

• 20:55
  Speaker 14: and I teach my kids it. So my 15-year-old right

  Speaker 14: now know how to service the house just because I
• 21:00
  Speaker 14: knew that this pest is something you can have forever.
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: And pest control is one of those businesses and one
• 21:05
  Speaker 6: of those jobs people always need.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: And you got to get specialized insurance.
• 21:09
  Speaker 14: Yes, yes, Solomon. That's what I'm talking about.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: You got all your gear? Yep. You got the gear?

  Speaker 17: Yeah, see, I'm normally clear, man. I just pull over
• 21:34
  Speaker 17: at least 30 minutes before I get to my first
• 21:36
  Speaker 17: joint to make sure I'm fully uniformed. dirt tucked in
• 21:40
  Speaker 17: everything perfect like all i got i'm literally the number
• 21:43
  Speaker 17: one person for reviews in.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: The country that's all right in the company that's right
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: you got a clientele you got this brother.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Good luck everything happens for a reason man and this reason.
• 21:52
  Speaker 22: Was because you can yes you can um thank you
• 21:56
  Speaker 22: guys man it is it's dollar sign Nate, N-A-T-E, Crystal, C-R-Y-S-T-A-L.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Damn. Take your time, brother. The hardest thing in that
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: is going to be the clientele.
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: And if you got, like you said, you got the
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: highest rating in your company, you're going to have a
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: lot of people that's willing to go with you.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: That's the license that's going to be hard, too.
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: I have screenshots and all of me being, like, the
• 22:17
  Speaker 9: highest review, rated, everything. So I was just shocked that
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: it was so easy to let me go that fast because,
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: of what somebody at a gas station said.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: Everything happens for a reason, brother.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But the state license isn't going to be hard, too,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: because of the way you got fired. But, you know,
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: everything happens for a reason. And this reason was because
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: you were smoking weed. But, you know, you'll be okay.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Damn, I ain't never met a Nate in a bind.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Y'all gave me another line of hope. You got it, brother. Yes, sir.

  Speaker 4: That source is trusted. Did you hear that exclusive?
• 23:21
  Speaker 5: Lauren, I'm a.
• 23:22
  Speaker 18: Homegirl that knows a little bit about everything and everything.
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: She be having the latest on things.
• 23:27
  Speaker 18: You ask the questions that need to be answered.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: On The Breakfast Club. Little brown girls look at you
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: and go, I want to be like you.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: LL Cool B. Talk to me.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Nah, it's just with the best.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: Jessica Robin Moore.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Talibah, thank you.
• 23:39
  Speaker 8: Anyway, so look, Taylor Swift will receive the inaugural MTV
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: VMA Artist Director Honors at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: So basically, that is an award where.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: They're just making up awards for Taylor Swift because they
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: want her at the award show.
• 23:55
  Speaker 8: But this is crazy because they're getting pushback. The award
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: basically is artists who tell stories through music videos.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: And she is receiving this big honor for that.
• 24:06
  Speaker 8: Like, people before her haven't run so she could walk
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: now listen I'm not saying that Taylor Swift don't get
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: creative with the you know with the short stories or
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: the short films with my music videos But there were
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: people long before her that did that.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: And the fact that she is like receiving this big award.
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: This is the first award that they're giving on this.
• 24:23
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: So she's the first person to receive this award.
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Absolutely.
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: And, you know, fans push back. Because, you know, it's
• 24:29
  Speaker 8: been other people. Examples like Michael Jackson, I feel, is
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: the first person that I've seen do that. Every single
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: music video this man has made into like a short movie.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Michael tells a story.
• 24:38
  Speaker 17: Yep.
• 24:38
  Speaker 8: Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, like. You got others
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: that came before her. Beyonce, actually, has done that as well.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: But they're probably doing that to highlight her for this era.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, Taylor's been around for a long time. Taylor's
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: been around for almost 16, maybe longer.
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: When Taylor first came out, like, oh, six? Taylor might
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: have been around for 20 now. Don't know. But, I mean,
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 24:59
  Speaker 5: There's just a lot of people. I'm not discrediting her.
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, you are.
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: Because, yeah, she's very creative with the music videos.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: But you feel like there's other people that should be
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: honored before her.
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: Especially for this first award.
• 25:11
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: And there's a lot of other people that feel that way.
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: That's just my opinion, though.
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she's been around for 20 years. Her first album
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: came out October 24, 2006.
• 25:17
  Speaker 11: Okay, cool.
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: All right, well, in other news.
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: Solange and Summer Walker have the people excited that there
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: may be a collab project coming soon. Solange posted to
• 25:29
  Speaker 8: her Instagram yesterday a video of her singing to Summer
• 25:32
  Speaker 8: Walker playing the guitar.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: And it sounds really good. We got audio for it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 19: My baby, I'm alone.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: My baby, I'm alone.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: Now, for those who don't know, Summer Walker been on
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: the guitar. You know, if y'all remember her back in
• 26:01
  Speaker 8: the day, she used to do covers like on Instagram
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: and a lot of her covers on YouTube, which used
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: to cover people, music and play the guitar. So this
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: is actually how Summer started. And Solange seems to be
• 26:12
  Speaker 8: bringing her out of retirement on the guitar. And the
• 26:15
  Speaker 8: caption said on Solange's post, first band rehearsal.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: We was kind of nervous. So people are excited. People
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: want to comment. I've seen Tamar.
• 26:24
  Speaker 8: Actually, the account Instagram commented and was like, let's be calm, everybody.
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: SZA commented. Everybody's really excited about this.
• 26:32
  Speaker 8: Because Solange's last album was 2019, When I Get Home.
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: So, I mean, I don't know. I'm excited, too. And
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: Solange sounds good. She sounds good.
• 26:41
  Speaker 8: I could see her and Summer doing something together.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: With Summer singing and playing the instrument.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Can we go back to the Taylor Swift thing?
• 26:47
  Speaker 5: Let's go back.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: This is actually interesting because this is an award for directing,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: for her being a director.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I said that. Oh, because I don't know if Michael
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: Jackson and all those other people directed their videos.
• 26:59
  Speaker 8: Of course Michael Jackson directed his own videos. Now, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 8: don't know about those other people.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know Hype Williams did a lot of those
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: Missing and Busting Rhymes.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he did.
• 27:06
  Speaker 6: Because you said telling the story, so I just thought
• 27:08
  Speaker 6: it was the video telling the story.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know if Mike Jackson directed it.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: She's the first recipient of Artist Director Honor. So I
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: didn't even know she directed so much. She directed a
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: short film and a lot of her own videos dating
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: back to 2020.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: That's a different category.
• 27:23
  Speaker 8: Described as the first ever award to recognize artists whose
• 27:26
  Speaker 8: directorial work has advanced the art of music ever.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Video and storytelling.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: It says Michael Jackson did not direct Thriller. Yeah, I
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: don't remember Michael directing Thriller. John Landis directed that.
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: No, search the ones that he did. Not that he
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: did not.
• 27:43
  Speaker 6: I'm trying to think of the big ones that are storytelling.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Remember the time.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: He directed Remember the Time? Just search. I'm just asking.
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know. Michael Jackson's directorial work.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: He's credited with officially directing only one music video.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: Was that Remember the Time?
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: No. Who was it? This don't make no sense because
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: it said it was... The director was John Singleton for
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: Remember the Time. Oh, yeah. He was in it.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Remember the Time?
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: Everybody was in Remember the Time, though. You know, Magic Johnson,
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: Eddie Murphy.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: Emon, yes.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yep, Emon.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: Yep, all of them.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, I didn't know Taylor did all of
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: his directing. Jess said Michael Jackson directed mad videos. I
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: just thought so because he was such a kid. The
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: two biggest ones in the storytelling was he didn't even
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: do that. I know, like Missy and Busta Rhymes. That
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: was Hype Williams.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That was Hype Williams' little ass.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: Well, shout out to Taylor.
• 28:34
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's dope, but, you know.
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: It's created some type of pushback from the fans.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out why, though.
• 28:42
  Speaker 8: I don't know, because obviously it's other artists that have
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: done this.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: And my apologies.
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: I thought Michael Jackson definitely was the director behind most
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: of his videos, if not all of them.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: How are you going to tell me to look it
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: up and do nothing?
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: Because that means you're helping me.
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: That helped me out. But yeah, that's the latest for Lawrence.
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: Who's been brought to you by Jessalarius.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: That's crazy.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: I didn't know Taylor Swift did all this directing.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: She did a lot of directing.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Shorty real creative.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: No, she directed a lot of her own videos.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Like, a lot.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: Okay, so she deserves this directorial award.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: She deserves this award. She deserves this award.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Jesus Christ. All right.
• 29:26
  Speaker 6: That was the latest with Lauren. When we come back,
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: we got front page news. Maybe you'll be joining us.

  Speaker 4: They're one and one. Tied with my Dallas Cowboys.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Dart.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Dart, our quarterback, got injured in the first quarter. He's
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: going to be out four to six weeks.
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: Who cares?
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: We care. The Giants fans care. No, they don't. Yes,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: we do. I don't even be seeing nobody wearing no
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: Jackson Dart jerseys.
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 30:06
  Speaker 15: Damn.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: I care about no Jackson Dart. He's our quarterback. We'll
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: be back. What's up, Mimi?
• 30:11
  Speaker 26: Help.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: I got you.
• 30:13
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: Front Page News is sponsored by Morgan & Morgan, America's
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: largest injury law firm. So this morning, we start with
• 30:20
  Speaker 11: a new major development in the death of Nolan Wells.
• 30:24
  Speaker 11: A Mississippi grand jury has decided no criminal charges are
• 30:27
  Speaker 11: warranted at this point in the death of the 18-year-old
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: college football player.
• 30:32
  Speaker 10: Now, 23 people, that was the grand jury.
• 30:35
  Speaker 11: They heard from a 23-person grand jury, heard from 43 witnesses.
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: They reviewed physical evidence, cell phone video, digital evidence, police interviews, videos,
• 30:47
  Speaker 11: and maps.
• 30:48
  Speaker 10: And after reviewing all of that, the.
• 30:50
  Speaker 11: Grand jury says it found no credible evidence that anyone
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: who was with Wells that day.
• 30:56
  Speaker 10: Committed a crime in connection to his death.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: Now, the medical examiner did not officially rule his death
• 31:01
  Speaker 11: a drowning. The cause and manner, they still remain undetermined.
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: But the grand jury said the location, the condition of Wells'
• 31:08
  Speaker 11: body when it was found are consistent with drowning. The
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: report says they reached that conclusion, though, by a process
• 31:16
  Speaker 11: of elimination. Now, Wells disappeared July 4th after going to
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: Horn Island with friends.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: His body was found two days later.
• 31:24
  Speaker 11: The grand jury also, they addressed some of the accusations
• 31:28
  Speaker 11: made online against the people who were with Wells, calling
• 31:31
  Speaker 11: them malicious and false. And Jackson County District Attorney Angel
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: Myers McGill-Rabb, she released a video message overnight explaining the decision.
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: Let's listen.
• 31:41
  Speaker 27: The narrative that three white boys and a black boy
• 31:44
  Speaker 27: went to an island and only three white friends returned
• 31:47
  Speaker 27: spread like wildfire.
• 31:49
  Speaker 28: This was false.
• 31:50
  Speaker 27: Nolan went to Horn Island on July 4, 2026 with
• 31:54
  Speaker 27: a large group of friends, and while on the island,
• 31:57
  Speaker 27: he connected with even more friends. There is absolutely no
• 32:01
  Speaker 27: evidence to support the allegations that Nolan's disappearance and death
• 32:04
  Speaker 27: were racially motivated. Nolan's friends loved Nolan, and Nolan loved them.
• 32:12
  Speaker 27: Nolan chose to stay on the island that day, and
• 32:14
  Speaker 27: there is not a scintilla of evidence to contradict that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 27: The family the Crump team, and anyone close to Nolan
• 32:22
  Speaker 27: knew that his disappearance and death were not the result
• 32:27
  Speaker 27: of racial hate or violence. Yet the flames of that
• 32:31
  Speaker 27: narrative set against the backdrop of Mississippi's terrible history were
• 32:35
  Speaker 27: fanned by both people who knew the truth and those
• 32:37
  Speaker 27: who didn't.
• 32:39
  Speaker 4: I mean... Do we know the truth still? Exactly.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand the conclusion they came to, but
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: do we still know the truth? I'm just telling you
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: right now, all those kids, if you know more about
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that case than you have told.
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: People, your lives are going to be miserable. Okay?
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: I promise you, the spirit of Nolan Wells is going
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: to haunt you forever. Like, that's a tough one to
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: have on your conscience forever. If you know more about
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: the case than you have told people.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: And how do you just rule somebody's death as like
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: a drowning by process of elimination?
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: It doesn't... And he was an athletic elite swimmer.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: How.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: How does that happen?
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: And I still have the question never been answered why
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: they came back with his phone and all of that.
• 33:19
  Speaker 11: I'm glad that you asked that question, Char, because, you know,
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: there have been questions about why Nolan's phone made it
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: back without him. Now, the grand jury says they didn't
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: find that unusual or suspicious.
• 33:30
  Speaker 10: They said that.
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: Wells phone was not the only one, the only phone
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: that returned without its owner.
• 33:37
  Speaker 10: So they, they didn't think that that was a big deal.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: And where did they get the phone from?
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: No, what you just, so wait a minute, wait a minute.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: You said there was other phones that came back without
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: the owner.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I said, who were they? Yeah.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 33:50
  Speaker 10: They didn't say who those were.
• 33:51
  Speaker 11: I'm still reading through the entire report, but that was
• 33:54
  Speaker 11: the conclusion that they made that his phone was not
• 33:56
  Speaker 11: the only phone that came back without his owner.
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: So they didn't find that to be suspicious basically.
• 34:01
  Speaker 4: That's crazy.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: And then, yeah.
• 34:03
  Speaker 10: And on the, Go ahead, what were you going to say, Jess?
• 34:05
  Speaker 8: Did you see the autopsy notes, the discoloration on the
• 34:09
  Speaker 8: back of his head?
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: It was like a 12 inch, a 12 by 8
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: inch ridden area.
• 34:15
  Speaker 11: The grand jury also said that there was no evidence
• 34:18
  Speaker 11: that he was in a fight or physical altercation that day,
• 34:21
  Speaker 11: even though, to your point, there was bruising on the
• 34:23
  Speaker 11: back of his head.
• 34:24
  Speaker 10: They said that that was not a fatal injury. In fact,
• 34:26
  Speaker 10: they said after.
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: That happened, they say he got up and was still
• 34:30
  Speaker 11: active after he fell.
• 34:32
  Speaker 10: He slipped and fall. He slipped and fell.
• 34:34
  Speaker 7: So.
• 34:35
  Speaker 11: They did not attribute that to his death either. On toxicology,
• 34:39
  Speaker 11: the grand jury said that there was no cocaine in Wells'
• 34:42
  Speaker 11: system and no evidence that he had ever used cocaine. Now,
• 34:45
  Speaker 11: last night, I also spoke to Attorney Ben Crump. He
• 34:48
  Speaker 11: said that they are pushing back on the grand jury's findings,
• 34:51
  Speaker 11: saying that there are still so many major unanswered questions
• 34:56
  Speaker 11: about the injuries to his neck and his back. He
• 34:59
  Speaker 11: says that the family wants to keep this investigation ongoing,
• 35:03
  Speaker 11: of course. They are renewing their quest for the Department
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: of Justice to make a federal review of this case.
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: And his family is also going to release the full
• 35:13
  Speaker 11: independent autopsy report. And later today, Nolan's parents and their
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: legal team, they will hold a news conference to respond
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: publicly to the grand jury's decision. That news conference is
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: scheduled for 12 o'clock. Eastern at the New Birth Missionary
• 35:29
  Speaker 11: Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia. So that's what he told me.
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: Thank you for that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 10: And of course, the door to all of this is
• 35:37
  Speaker 10: not permanently closed.
• 35:39
  Speaker 11: There is no statute of limitations on murder on homicide
• 35:43
  Speaker 11: in Mississippi. So the grand jury says if credible new
• 35:45
  Speaker 11: evidence comes forward. suggesting there was some sort of foul play,
• 35:49
  Speaker 11: the case can be presented to a grand jury again.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Definitely sending healing energy to Nolan Wells' family.
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: Absolutely. I know this don't provide no closure.
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: Not at all.
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: Nothing. Not at all.

• 38:00
  Speaker 4: What got you into rapping?
• 38:02
  Speaker 29: Listening to music, man. Cutting shit on. And I wasn't, like,
• 38:06
  Speaker 29: super intrigued by music. up until like seven or eight
• 38:10
  Speaker 29: years old and I can remember sitting in front of
• 38:11
  Speaker 29: the radio listening to like John Legend's album Usher like
• 38:16
  Speaker 29: Bone Thugs and Twista and trying to learn the words
• 38:18
  Speaker 29: to that and that was like very very early on
• 38:20
  Speaker 29: and then like later on I got into like Wayne
• 38:22
  Speaker 29: Boosie and all of that stuff.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: So I see where the melodic and the flow come from.
• 38:27
  Speaker 29: Yeah, because it was just a melting pot of a
• 38:29
  Speaker 29: bunch of different shit. I remember when Mike Jones first
• 38:31
  Speaker 29: came out, and he was like, don't fail me now.
• 38:34
  Speaker 29: My cousin and him listening to that, and we stayed
• 38:36
  Speaker 29: down the street from this dude. He used to rap
• 38:38
  Speaker 29: Bone Thugs and twist like word for fucking word. And
• 38:40
  Speaker 29: I was like, this is is talented whatever he's doing
• 38:42
  Speaker 29: i have to do it but it was it wasn't
• 38:44
  Speaker 29: his though but um yeah man it just kind of
• 38:46
  Speaker 29: like got into it it just fell on me for
• 38:47
  Speaker 29: real and i just found that song should never be
• 38:50
  Speaker 29: said around a bunch of guys either you got to
• 38:52
  Speaker 29: say that song only in the presence.
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: Of women there's women in here i'm not just making
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: sure now coming from jackson mississippi.
• 38:58
  Speaker 29: Y'all finish it y'all how difficult was it to get
• 39:03
  Speaker 29: on i was actually in jackson a week ago um
• 39:07
  Speaker 29: And it's just so many.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Different sides of Jackson, right?
• 39:09
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: First of all, Jackson was, the downtown area is small.
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: It was pretty as hell. But they told me there was, like,
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: you know, a lot of crime in Jackson.
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: So they said you got to be extra careful. But
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: it's also a college town.
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: And we don't like people like you. You can see
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: the pride.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Tell me more.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: That light skin?
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Hakeem, tell me more.

  Speaker 2: That light skin?
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Now you went. Tell me more. They love me down

• 39:29
  Speaker 4: when I was there.

  Speaker 2: Not me. I'm going to take a gun on you. No,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: I'm f * * * ing with you.
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: I'm f * * * ing with you.

  Speaker 4: one time.

  Speaker 7: I'm right.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: Like this.
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: Wow.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? If you give me the
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: pretty privilege.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: Depending on the lighting.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the lighting.
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: Talk about getting out of Jackson, Mississippi and how difficult
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: it is.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Man, it's very f * * * ing.
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: Difficult, man.
• 40:00
  Speaker 29: If you can make it from here, New York, you
• 40:03
  Speaker 29: can make it anywhere. Yeah, it's opportunities coming through here
• 40:06
  Speaker 29: left and right. You just got to know how to hustle,
• 40:08
  Speaker 29: keep your head on a swivel and like have an
• 40:09
  Speaker 29: eye for s * * *. In Mississippi and Jackson,
• 40:11
  Speaker 29: the blackest city in America, we don't have opportunities come through.
• 40:15
  Speaker 29: We don't get the concerts. We don't get the artists.
• 40:16
  Speaker 29: We don't get the people. Like, they skip a lot
• 40:18
  Speaker 29: of shit. The infrastructure is fucked up. Like, they're, you know,
• 40:22
  Speaker 29: shutting down programs for the kids and for the youth. Like,
• 40:24
  Speaker 29: they're taking and stripping stuff. Like, it's a sinking ship.
• 40:27
  Speaker 29: And nobody is paying attention to a lot of this
• 40:28
  Speaker 29: shit that's happening in Mississippi. Or if you are paying attention,
• 40:31
  Speaker 29: it's because it's like somebody died or something tragic happened
• 40:33
  Speaker 29: or like, you know, some shit. unfortunate is going on
• 40:36
  Speaker 29: and it's like we do not get the light shed
• 40:38
  Speaker 29: on us that we need very much so need but
• 40:42
  Speaker 29: also deserve like the rest of the people there's other
• 40:44
  Speaker 29: small towns that are like that you know i'm saying
• 40:45
  Speaker 29: in the south and in other places you know i'm
• 40:47
  Speaker 29: saying but it's like We used to be like, you know,
• 40:49
  Speaker 29: a thriving economy. We used to be booming, man. You
• 40:50
  Speaker 29: know what I'm saying? It's the birthplace of America's music.
• 40:53
  Speaker 29: And it's just like, we just get, we don't even
• 40:55
  Speaker 29: get crumbs. Like when the crumbs, whatever fall off the crumbs,
• 40:59
  Speaker 29: we just like, Lisa.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: They don't even know we exist. No. I'm from a
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: small town in the South.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I'm from Jackson.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: We exist. We exist. Us.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: They would say Drake spends a lot of time there.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: He does, and I can appreciate Drake for that. Oh, Tez.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Tez is from there.
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, he from New Orleans.
• 41:18
  Speaker 29: Tez is from New Orleans, but he went to Jackson State.
• 41:21
  Speaker 29: One of Drake's cousins, CJ, he's from there. And so, like, Tez,
• 41:25
  Speaker 29: and I'm, you know, believing that Tez is part of
• 41:27
  Speaker 29: the reason why Drake comes and spends a lot of
• 41:29
  Speaker 29: time in Jackson and shows love to... you know, shot
• 41:32
  Speaker 29: from shout outs to like, you know, making sure he
• 41:34
  Speaker 29: does content or pull up, you know what I'm saying?
• 41:36
  Speaker 29: And just like at random times, giving shout outs to
• 41:37
  Speaker 29: Jackson state and stuff like that. Um, and I can
• 41:40
  Speaker 29: appreciate that, you know what I'm saying? Because a lot
• 41:41
  Speaker 29: of people, even like when we heard Jackson, Mississippi and
• 41:44
  Speaker 29: Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars song, I'm like, they know us.
• 41:46
  Speaker 29: You know, back in the 50s and 60s, that s * * *
• 41:48
  Speaker 29: was probably booming. We wouldn't lie, but s * * *.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: And they said Snoop was originally from there, too. That
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: was another thing they said when I was older.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: From Mississippi, yeah. Rick Ross, Snoop.
• 41:54
  Speaker 29: S * * *, you got Oprah, I think. I
• 41:55
  Speaker 29: want to say Morgan Freeman. There's a lot of people
• 41:57
  Speaker 29: originally born in Mississippi. Not Jackson, but Mississippi in general.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Not too many people represent them.
• 42:02
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: Like you, Big K.R.I.T., Banner, Carlos Miller. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 42:07
  Speaker 4: Deer Silas.
• 42:07
  Speaker 29: You know what I'm saying? Some other big names and
• 42:09
  Speaker 29: stuff like that.
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: I've heard you say that.
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: Jackson loves you, but you've also questioned whether Jackson actually
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: supports you.
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: That's with anywhere, though. I feel the love.
• 42:20
  Speaker 29: I don't always feel the support, man. And it ain't
• 42:22
  Speaker 29: a bad thing. You know what I'm saying? If you
• 42:23
  Speaker 29: don't like my music or if you don't f * * * me,
• 42:24
  Speaker 29: I can't force you to do that. I can't force
• 42:26
  Speaker 29: that on you. But it's also like you got somebody
• 42:29
  Speaker 29: who's on the forefront championing and rallying for y'all.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? And speaking up about s * * * that.
• 42:35
  Speaker 29: Sometimes you got to take them hits and sometimes you
• 42:37
  Speaker 29: have to be comfortable with people being uncomfortable. You know
• 42:40
  Speaker 29: what I'm saying? Like, when people talk s * * *
• 42:41
  Speaker 29: about me, like, don't talk s * * * about
• 42:43
  Speaker 29: where I'm from. But it's like, something has to be
• 42:45
  Speaker 29: said for something to be done. You know what I'm saying?
• 42:47
  Speaker 29: And that's what people don't like. And so they talk
• 42:49
  Speaker 29: s * * * or they say stuff. I had
• 42:50
  Speaker 29: the mayor sneak this in me. The previous mayor sneak
• 42:53
  Speaker 29: this in me on f * * * ing Facebook.
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: What'd he say? People like.
• 42:55
  Speaker 29: just like like i'm whining i'm crying about like support
• 42:58
  Speaker 29: and like people support me and stuff like that and
• 43:00
  Speaker 29: i'm like yes i am because if i don't say
• 43:03
  Speaker 29: you're not gonna say you didn't buy a ticket to
• 43:05
  Speaker 29: see me on tour or xyz ain't purchasing these tickets
• 43:08
  Speaker 29: i have to say something but we come from a
• 43:10
  Speaker 29: space in a place where like um if something is
• 43:12
  Speaker 29: happening to you and you communicate that you're uncomfortable all
• 43:14
  Speaker 29: you're whining and it's like at what point can we
• 43:17
  Speaker 29: just start expressing how we feel or saying things without
• 43:20
  Speaker 29: people feeling attacked or offended and it's like You know
• 43:22
  Speaker 29: what I'm saying? It's a very thin line and a
• 43:24
  Speaker 29: great area that you walk.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Are our hometowns obligated to support us just because we
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: from there, though? Because I feel like we got to
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: make something undeniable first.
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: No.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: No, no, no.
• 43:34
  Speaker 29: No, more people supporting me in Atlanta. And I'm going

• 46:00
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 46:00
  Speaker 29: And he was, he told me like, you know, your
• 46:03
  Speaker 29: mama was fine. And I love, he was a pimp.
• 46:05
  Speaker 29: He was a pimp, which is crazy. But he was like,
• 46:08
  Speaker 29: you know, your mama was fine. And I decided like,
• 46:10
  Speaker 29: I want to deal with your mom and like, you
• 46:11
  Speaker 29: know what I'm saying?
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: Be with her.
• 46:13
  Speaker 29: And so, you know, she just couldn't leave drugs alone.
• 46:16
  Speaker 29: And so it was like, he got her pregnant and
• 46:19
  Speaker 29: he was transparent about all of the shit that he
• 46:20
  Speaker 29: was doing in X, Y, and Z.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: You know, he was like, he got my mama pregnant.
• 46:23
  Speaker 29: He didn't even know at the time that she was
• 46:25
  Speaker 29: pregnant because he sold crack too.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: And he was sometimes just like. give it to her
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: or like, you know.
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: When she ain't have no money, when she was short.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: So the thing is, if you don't get it from here,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: you're going to get it from somewhere.
• 46:34
  Speaker 29: And I'd rather you get it from here and I
• 46:35
  Speaker 29: know what you're doing instead of like roaming and running
• 46:37
  Speaker 29: the streets. And she was like still, you know what
• 46:40
  Speaker 29: I'm saying, smoking and shit like that. Once she found
• 46:41
  Speaker 29: out she was pregnant, he was like, I wouldn't give
• 46:43
  Speaker 29: it to her. I stopped giving it to her.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 46:46
  Speaker 29: But yeah, I met my daddy, man, and I've sat
• 46:47
  Speaker 29: and talked to him. You know, he'll call and like
• 46:49
  Speaker 29: that and chop it up with me. And I don't
• 46:51
  Speaker 29: even like to make it awkward because you know how
• 46:52
  Speaker 29: like when you weren't raised with people, I'm not dying
• 46:55
  Speaker 29: to be your friend or get to know you like
• 46:57
  Speaker 29: I'm who I'm going to be now. But it's like
• 46:59
  Speaker 29: if it's genuine and casual, you know what I'm saying?
• 47:01
  Speaker 29: He'll check in or we'll talk or, you know, he
• 47:03
  Speaker 29: called and talked to me one day and had me
• 47:04
  Speaker 29: on the phone rolling like for like an hour or something.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: Do you realize you do you see... yourself in him?
• 47:11
  Speaker 29: Oh, man, he said some slick s * * *.
• 47:12
  Speaker 29: He said some s * * * on the phone.
• 47:13
  Speaker 29: F * * * me up.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: He was just saying a lot of s * * *.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: I was like, I get it. I was like, I
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: do get it. You know what I'm saying? He's like,
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: when he first started pimping, he had like four deaf women.
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: Deaf?
• 47:22
  Speaker 15: Deaf.
• 47:22
  Speaker 29: I was just like, what? He was like, yeah, I
• 47:24
  Speaker 29: had four deaf bitches when I first started pimping. I
• 47:25
  Speaker 29: was like, how does that work? He was like, I
• 47:27
  Speaker 29: was like, how would you sit in their mouth? He
• 47:28
  Speaker 29: was like, well, they stayed in the house and like,
• 47:30
  Speaker 29: these are my inside hoes. And he was like, I
• 47:33
  Speaker 29: had outside hoes. He was like, you know what I'm saying?
• 47:35
  Speaker 29: But the thing about deaf women and their community, if
• 47:37
  Speaker 29: you know anything about it, he was like, they don't
• 47:39
  Speaker 29: give a f * * * if you talk to
• 47:40
  Speaker 29: another deaf woman.
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: He said, but if you talk to somebody that can talk,
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: they'll leave you alone. He said he got caught.
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: F * * *.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Who can talk, and they all cut him off.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: And I was like, damn.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: And no pun intended, but that was a sign. That
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: was a sign.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: How did that impact you as a father? Because I
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: know you got a family.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: I don't think it just affected me in no type
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: of way, for real, for real.
• 48:05
  Speaker 29: It made me more conscious about how I was going
• 48:07
  Speaker 29: to show up for my kids and how I was
• 48:09
  Speaker 29: going to be present and active, and that's the main thing.
• 48:12
  Speaker 29: It's like, when you're younger, You didn't care if your
• 48:14
  Speaker 29: parents were rich, poor, X, Y, Z. Spend quality time
• 48:17
  Speaker 29: because that's what you remember when you were a kid.
• 48:19
  Speaker 29: My daddy was always my daddy took me to do X, Y,
• 48:21
  Speaker 29: Z and credit to my mama. Like my mama wasn't
• 48:23
  Speaker 29: hardly around when I was younger. But when my mama
• 48:25
  Speaker 29: came around, she took us down the street to McDonald's
• 48:27
  Speaker 29: and let us play in a playpen. If she had
• 48:28
  Speaker 29: a few dollars, she would buy us a burger and
• 48:30
  Speaker 29: like we can get some candy from the store and
• 48:32
  Speaker 29: get some now and later.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: And we was happy with that. You know what I'm saying?
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: And so I was just like, man, you know.
• 48:36
  Speaker 29: She wasn't there all the time, but when she was,
• 48:38
  Speaker 29: I'm like, man, we told that f * * *
• 48:39
  Speaker 29: er to play Peanuts.
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: We was musty.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: How was the relationship with you?
• 48:44
  Speaker 29: Me and my mama talked, like I wasn't raised by
• 48:46
  Speaker 29: my mama. And so I never had like a, I'm
• 48:49
  Speaker 29: not like a mama, mama, mama, mama. And so it
• 48:51
  Speaker 29: was like me and my mama talked like homeboys.
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: And so like.
• 48:54
  Speaker 29: Know i don't even cuss in front of grown-ups or
• 48:56
  Speaker 29: like older grown-ups you know what i'm saying like so
• 48:57
  Speaker 29: i met your mama i don't i don't cuss in
• 48:59
  Speaker 29: front of you we cuss but like when you get
• 49:01
  Speaker 29: in front of my mama man watch your mouth or
• 49:02
  Speaker 29: like you know what i can talk to my mama
• 49:04
  Speaker 29: like a homeboy because of how crazy she is and
• 49:06
  Speaker 29: she can tell me some crazy stories too like some
• 49:08
  Speaker 29: some wild it.
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: Was an army too right yeah how long were you
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: an army for.
• 49:11
  Speaker 29: Eight years in the army reserve shout out to 894
• 49:13
  Speaker 29: man nice yeah that was my unit.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Has fatherhood made betting on yourself harder because when you're
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: single right failure just belongs to you.
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: No.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: You got people depending on you.
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: No.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: It's made it easier. It's made it a lot easier.
• 49:27
  Speaker 29: I learned that once I became a father, and it
• 49:29
  Speaker 29: taught me a lot about how God operates, too. And
• 49:31
  Speaker 29: I tell people this all the time, because if you
• 49:32
  Speaker 29: got kids, you get to watch your kids from a
• 49:35
  Speaker 29: different view.
• 49:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: So.
• 49:38
  Speaker 29: And I explain, if I'm going to have a child
• 49:40
  Speaker 29: with somebody, nothing that I'm doing is going to slow
• 49:43
  Speaker 29: down or stop.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying?
• 49:45
  Speaker 29: A lot of times women operate off feeling and emotion.
• 49:47
  Speaker 29: I'm operating off facts and results. Like, you feel like
• 49:50
  Speaker 29: you need this emotionally, boom, boom, boom, boom. Yes, I
• 49:52
  Speaker 29: want to give that to you in a romantic space
• 49:54
  Speaker 29: if I'm capable of doing that. But I've realized, and
• 49:58
  Speaker 29: I've even realized, women sometimes don't even want a headstrong,
• 50:01
  Speaker 29: you know what I'm saying, go out, get the money, provider,
• 50:03
  Speaker 29: do X, Y, Z type of * * * *.
• 50:05
  Speaker 29: They just want * * * * who's going to
• 50:06
  Speaker 29: sit up and be in their feelings with them. I'm like,
• 50:08
  Speaker 29: I ain't saying it.
• 50:09
  Speaker 15: I ain't saying it.
• 50:11
  Speaker 29: I'm just telling you the type of, I'm just telling
• 50:14
  Speaker 29: you how some shit working for me. It's like, man,
• 50:17
  Speaker 29: it's certain women that were in my life, if I
• 50:18
  Speaker 29: was still with them, I wouldn't be where I am now.
• 50:20
  Speaker 29: Because they don't understand some of the sacrifices I got
• 50:22
  Speaker 29: to make. They don't understand some of the stuff I
• 50:23
  Speaker 29: got to do. And like, you know what I'm saying?
• 50:26
  Speaker 29: Shout out to the mother of my daughter, man. It
• 50:28
  Speaker 29: ain't been easy, but she kind of like, compensates as
• 50:31
  Speaker 29: much as she can with my schedule because I'm gone
• 50:34

• 50:41
  Speaker 29: time with my little one.

  Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 50:45
  Speaker 29: Just choosing to not slow down and press those buttons
• 50:48
  Speaker 29: because I grew up, my child won't know what pole is.
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying?
• 50:52
  Speaker 29: She won't experience none of that. And she'll experience love.
• 50:54
  Speaker 29: I tell my baby I love her three, four, five

  Speaker 29: And that's Like the bond and the relationship, and it's
• 51:08
  Speaker 29: just like making sure she knows she's loved.
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: Care for her. Three.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Going on 30.
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: I want to ask you something.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: How did you react when you found out your mother
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: was smoking crack while she had you?
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: It was interesting, because she told me a story, man.
• 51:22
  Speaker 29: And I'm going to write a book about this shit,
• 51:24
  Speaker 29: and I'm actually writing an album about it.
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: What's the title of it?
• 51:27
  Speaker 29: I ain't got the title yet, but the project is
• 51:29
  Speaker 29: going to be nine songs long and every song is
• 51:32
  Speaker 29: a month that I was in the womb. The first
• 51:33
  Speaker 29: song is like Inception and like I shoot out the
• 51:35
  Speaker 29: sack and that's the first month up until month nine.
• 51:38
  Speaker 29: And it's about the things that I felt while I
• 51:40
  Speaker 29: was in the womb. And so whatever the mother feels,
• 51:43
  Speaker 29: if she's distressed, if she's depressed or she's agitated, I
• 51:47
  Speaker 29: feel that. Also, I'm addicted to drugs. I'm also a
• 51:51
  Speaker 29: crack addict. Whatever she's doing, I'm addicted to those drugs.
• 51:54
  Speaker 29: I'm noticing and sensing stuff in her. I hear conversations
• 51:57
  Speaker 29: inside the womb that I'm able to translate.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I hear stuff going on. I don't know who people are, though.
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: You remember being in the womb?
• 52:05
  Speaker 29: That's an actual thing that some people do. yeah i've

• 52:41
  Speaker 29: i was riding with my mom in my car and
• 52:43
  Speaker 29: i was like you know i had to ask her

• 52:56
  Speaker 29: um and just was never able to kick it. And
• 52:58
  Speaker 29: she was like, when she had me, she was like,
• 53:00
  Speaker 29: I remember when you came out, you was hollering so
• 53:02
  Speaker 29: bad because you was having withdrawals and you was shaking and,
• 53:05
  Speaker 29: you know, it was an X, Y, Z. And she
• 53:06
  Speaker 29: was like, you would not shut up. And then the
• 53:07
  Speaker 29: doctors had to give you morphine. And then you like
• 53:09
  Speaker 29: calm down and like, and I'm listening to it. And
• 53:11
  Speaker 29: I'm like, anybody just like you like, damn, that's sad.
• 53:13
  Speaker 29: But for me, I'm just like, Hmm, you know, interesting

• 54:46
  Speaker 29: nice way But what happened was is you know some
• 54:48
  Speaker 29: of the songs didn't work out So I kept swayed
• 54:50
  Speaker 29: and I was like, what else can I add to this?

• 55:13
  Speaker 29: and so it was going to be a swatch like

  Speaker 29: the songs to sound like what the texture felt like.

• 1:03:04
  Speaker 18: We'll get into it after this.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 23: I only got about four minutes, and this is the
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 23: important conversation I want to have. All right, so Portia Williams,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 23: you know, we love Portia here, a Real Housewives of Atlanta.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 23: She has been revealing every single detail of her life, literally,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 23: for what? Like, over decades now at this point, right?
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 23: On the Real Housewives of Atlanta. But there is one
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 23: thing that she has kept very private that she has
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 23: decided to open up about. The fact that she had
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 23: to have an emergency hysterectomy.
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 18: Yes. So Portia sat down with.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 23: Glamour magazine and she also sat down with Good Morning
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 23: America with Gayle King. And she got into the conversation
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 23: around fibroids. Now, let's take a listen to Portia on
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 23: her fibroid journey.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 30: Portia Williams says she had an emergency partial hysterectomy earlier
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 30: this year after doctors discovered, listen to this, 21 uterine fibroids.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 28: This was not your first time with fibroids.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 26: Actually, it was time for me to prepare to start
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 26: having kids.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 16: Yes.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 26: And I was having fertility issues and I was like, okay,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 26: what's really happening? And then I went to the doctor
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 26: and I was pregnant and that made her again do
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 26: more checkups.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 28: And she said, well, there's a fibroid there. But did
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 28: she say, no big deal, don't worry?
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 26: She said that it's a possibility that it would degenerate
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 26: during the pregnancy.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 26: It ended up not degenerating, ended up outgrowing the first
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 26: baby at four months.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 18: She thought it.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 28: Would just deteriorate, just go away.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 26: Yes, because that's what ended up happening with Pilar. But
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 26: with the first one, at four months, I miscarried at
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 26: home from the fibro, outgrowing the baby, and then I
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 26: had to have a myomectomy, which is basically similar to
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 26: how you would do a C-section, so pretty hard surgery.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 23: And that's a this is a that's a heavy thing
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 23: to be carrying. Like right when you're revealing all these things.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 23: And we know, you know, Portia has talked about remember
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 23: at 30 when she was 30 years old. She talked
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 23: about the fact that she did have a miscarriage. She
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 23: was four months pregnant when she had that miscarriage. But
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 23: we didn't know any of this.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: And it's a yeah. Now, let's talk a bit about.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 23: So after that miscarriage happened with Portia, she talks about
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 23: her fibroids coming back. because she thought that they had
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 23: kind of like went away and she was good and
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 23: she was starting to want to have more kids.
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 4: Let's take a listen.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 30: And then we cut to May of 2026 because you're
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 30: thinking I'm done with fibroids.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 26: I'm thinking I'm done. I've had a divorce. I have
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 26: my child and I have a great support system. And
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 26: I'm thinking maybe I want to have another child. I've
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 26: always fantasized about having a little boy or maybe a
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 26: little sister for her. And I ended up going with
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 26: a friend to see about getting her eggs frozen and.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 18: And I said, well, let me hop on the table.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 26: And she started looking into, you know, doing the exam
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 26: and she went silent.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, not again.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 26: She immediately sent me to a fertility specialist. When I
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 26: went to the fertility specialist, she was again silenced. And
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 26: when she did the vaginal check, she was in shock.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 26: She sent me straight to get an MRI within the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 26: next two hours and then scheduled a surgery within the
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 26: next two weeks.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 30: How were you able to even walk around with 21
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 30: fibroids in your body?
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 28: One of them the size of a cantaloupe, you were saying.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 26: So I had symptoms, but I'm 45 years old and
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 26: I'm thinking, oh, maybe I'm perimenopausal. I did have, my
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 26: menstrual cycle was at that point like a month and
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 26: a half.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 18: Migraines, like crazy fatigue.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 28: You're thinking it's perimenopause.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I'm thinking it's something like that.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 20: Wow.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 18: Y'all, that is the scariest thing ever. No, it really is.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: Ever.
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 5: And it's extremely common. You know what I mean?
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 7: It is.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: Especially with black women.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 8: Closer to the age of 50, between 35 and 50.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: I did not know that she.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 4: Was 45, though.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 18: I didn't either. I didn't either.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: Damn.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 6: One of my wife's closest friends had something similar, like
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 6: the same type of thing.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 4: A bunch of fibroids. One was the size of a cantaloupe.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: But they always talk about a holistic doctor saying that
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 6: there's something that they can do and take that can
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 6: shrink the fibroids.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 23: When Portia was saying in a Glamour magazine article that
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 23: when she was pregnant with Pilar, she was trying to
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 23: because she was still dealing with it. She turned vegan
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 23: and she was trying to shrink them out. But it
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 23: obviously didn't work. So I think I mean, I don't
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 23: know how that works. But I do know, according to
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 23: Black Women's Health, roughly 80 percent of black women will
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 23: develop fibroids by age 50 compared to about 70 percent
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 23: of white women. And black women are two to three
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 23: times more likely to undergo a hysterectomy because of them,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 23: which of course makes it where you're unable.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 18: To have children.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 23: That is the biggest fear of like, I know when
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 23: I'm thinking about having kids, I'm always wondering like, what
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 23: if I go to the doctor one day and they're
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 23: just like, well, this is wrong because you're a black
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 23: woman and these things just happen and boom.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 18: Now the chance is gone.
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 4: That's the thing that sucks the most, right?
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: That's why I say salute to Portia, you know, and
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: I hope mentally and emotionally she's in a great space
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: because wanting more kids and then losing the choice has
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 1: to suck.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: But it's better to be healthy.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 23: She said she grieved a miscarriage before, but it's still
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 23: different grieving the fact that like she won't be able
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 23: to have children again. And then coming out about it,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 23: she says she felt lesser than because there's a stigma
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 23: around people who have hysterectomies. Like if you're a woman
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 23: without a uterus, you're lesser than hysterectomy. And it took
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 23: her some time. Like, she's known this for some time,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 23: but decided to talk about it because she felt like
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 23: if she knew to do more earlier on, maybe she
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 23: could have prevented some things. So she wanted, you know,
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 23: to just talk about it and let other women know, like,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 23: there are organizations like March of Dimes and stuff like
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 23: that that you can connect with that can help you
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 23: figure things out.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 18: But this is scary.
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: When you go for your yearly physical, do they check
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 4: for fibroids? Yeah, but you know what's crazy? So they
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 4: would know if they would grow or whatever?
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 23: Yeah, but a lot of times they'll tell you, like, oh,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 23: this is so common. These things are common. We can
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 23: manage them with medicine.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 8: Like, Or you don't know at all that you have
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 8: them because you don't even have symptoms. You know, a
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 8: lot of women, around their periods and stuff, they have
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 8: a lot of heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 5: But a lot of women are walking around with fibroids
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 5: and don't even know.
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 8: So you should get checked as soon as you're 30,
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 8: when you get 30.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: This is actually a good topic for conversation. We should
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: open up the phone line after Don't Care Today. What
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: would be the question? women have you dealt with.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 23: This before women that have dealt with it before women
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 23: that are currently going through the process of dealing with
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 23: it or you know want to go and get the
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 23: information because it's also scary to find out because then
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 23: you got to find out your fate.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: You know what I mean? Let them tell their stories. 800-585-1051.

• 1:10:35
  Speaker 6: OK, we'll get to that next. And ladies, women will
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 6: open up the phone line. Eight hundred five eight five

• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: Good morning. It's time for donkey of the day. There's
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 4: a bunch of donkeys out here.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 1: Call donkey of the day.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 18: It really caught me off guard.
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 4: We live a life where we bite our tongue based
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 4: off who we may offend. We never would say it.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: You are a donkey.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 2: That is why Charlemagne is here.
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 1: Some donkey todays just saw themselves.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 4: On The Breakfast Club. Okay, Charlemagne, we be giving donkey
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: of the day to you today.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 1: You know, donkey of the day for Tuesday, September 22nd
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: goes to Donald J. Trump because he continues to wage
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: war on the press, okay? See, if you've been paying attention.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 20: All right.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: Then you saw yesterday Donald Trump launched Trump TV. Now, listen,
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: the White House can have a live screen. Presidents can
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: communicate directly with the American people.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: It is what it is.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 1: OK, but Trump TV is a whole different animal. Let's
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: go to CBS 9 News for the report, please.
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 25: A White House press ban is sparking a showdown with
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 25: major TV networks. CBS, ABC, NBC and Fox News have
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 25: all suspended their presidential pool coverage after President Trump banned CNN,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 25: MSNOW and Politico from White House grounds. The three outlets
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 25: say they are being punished for their reporting, and they
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 25: are now suing the administration, calling the ban a, quote,
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 25: direct assault on the First Amendment. The president accuses those
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 25: outlets of spreading fake news. At the same time, the
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 25: White House has launched Trump TV, a 24-7 stream on
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 25: its YouTube channel. Officials say it'll feature past speeches, administration events,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 25: and highlights.
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 4: Trump TV. See, for me, the problem is everything that
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 4: happened before.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: Around trump tv okay this was clearly all calculated because
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: trump banned cnn ms now and political from the white
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: house after accusing them of publishing fake news those outlets
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: are now suing the trump administration and then the white
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: house launches trump tv which you could call state-run media
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: now i'm not the highest grade of weed in the
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 1: dispensary but i'm bright enough to know that you can't
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: kick journalists out because you don't like their coverage and
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 1: then turn around and say don't worry america we'll cover
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: ourselves Okay, that's not journalism.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: That's propaganda.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: If a restaurant kicked out the health inspector and said,
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: don't worry, we inspected ourselves.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 4: Kitchen looks great. We as a people would collectively say, hmm,
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 4: That's not right. OK, I don't think we should eat
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 4: at that restaurant. And this is where I.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: Need everybody to stop thinking like Democrats and Republicans for
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 1: five minutes. As I tell you often, put your pom
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: poms down. OK, take off your party's jersey and.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: Let's just discuss. Honestly, OK, I know some.
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: Of y'all here, CNN and MSNOW, formerly MSNBC, and immediately say, good,
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: they're fake news.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: They should be banned. Well, riddle me this.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: OK, what happens when it's the news organization you trust? OK,
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama asked that question the other day. He said
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: if a Democratic president banned Fox News because he didn't
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: like their coverage and then launched, you know, Democrat TV,
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: Republicans would be screaming for this man to be impeached
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: and removed from office at the least.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: And guess what? They should. You know why? Because freedom
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 4: of the press doesn't mean freedom for the press anymore.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 4: you agree with.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: Okay the whole point of freedom of the press is
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: to protect the press you don't agree with and this
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: is why i have to drop one of clues bombs
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: for fox news okay abc cbs and nbc because cnn
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: was scheduled to handle the white house television pool We
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: saw that the other day and after CNN was banned,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: all those networks refused to replace them. OK, and they
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: issued a joint statement saying no administration should restrict the
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: news organization because it objects to its reporting. That's exactly
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 1: what any Constitution loving American is supposed to do. OK,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: Fox doesn't have to like CNN and CNN doesn't have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 1: to like Fox. But when the government, OK, starts deciding
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 1: which journalists deserve access based on whether said government likes
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 1: their reporting, every journalist, media personality in America should understand
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: the assignment because today it's them, tomorrow it's you. OK,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 1: this is bigger than whether you think CNN is biased
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: or Fox is biased because there's a truth, right? All
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: media has bias.
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 7: All right?
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: We're human beings. Human beings have bias. That's why we
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: need more voices, not fewer. I'll take CNN. I'll take Fox.
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 1: I'll take MSNOW. I'll take Newsmax. I'll take independent journalists.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 1: You can give me Tucker Carlson. You can give me
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Angela Rye. You can give me Pod Saves America. You
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: can give me Hasan Piker. Give me Young Turks. Give
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: me Megyn Kelly.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 4: Give me it all. Okay?
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 1: Let everybody talk. Let everybody ask questions. And then let
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: me decide who I believe.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 10: Okay?
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: I don't need the government.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: Making that decision for me and I damn sure don't
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 1: need the government saying those journalists can't come in here
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: anymore but don't worry We started a television station.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 4: Excuse me? Say what? Okay.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, Trump TV by itself isn't the problem.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: Trump TV combined with restricting independent media is the problem.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 4: Okay? I don't know what you want to call it.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 4: You don't have to call it communism. You don't have
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 4: to scream dictatorship.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: Just ask yourself, is that a precedent you want every
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: future president to have?
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 4: Because Donald Trump won't be president forever. I don't think.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: But just remember, every power you celebrate when your guy
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: has it becomes a power available to the next person.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: So if you're cheering because Trump kicks CNN out, don't
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 1: start crying. If a future Democrat president kicks Fox News out.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 4: OK, you already approved the principle. You just changed presidents.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: Listen, America.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: You need independent media, too, because Trump TV can show
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: you whatever Trump TV wants you to see.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 4: That's literally its purpose.
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: OK, I don't watch McDonald's commercials expecting investigative journalism about
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 1: the McRib.
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: OK, we don't know what's in it. All right.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: I don't expect Nike to tell me their sneakers are
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable and I don't expect Trump. tv to investigate president
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: trump or the trump administration that's why an independent press
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: exists their job isn't to make the president comfortable okay
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: their job isn't to be fair according to the president's
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 1: definition of fair their job is to ask questions investigate
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 1: the government and tell the public what they find sometimes
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 1: they're going to get it wrong sometimes they might be
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 1: biased hey some days they might just piss us off
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: and guess what that's democracy And that's why I love
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: Fox News standing beside CNN on this situation, because they're
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: defending the institution of the free press and not just
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: their brand. And every journalist, every media personality should be
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: doing the same thing, because if access to the president
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: depends on whether the president approves of your journalism, that's
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: not freedom of the press. The government should not get
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 1: to decide which journalists you're allowed to hear from and
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: then volunteer itself as the replacement.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 4: OK, and all of us. All right. All of us.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNOW, Politico, every news organization
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 1: should keep saying that together. OK, not because they agree,
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: but because they're supposed to disagree. OK, that's the whole
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: damn point. Please give Donald Trump and Trump TV the biggest.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 5: You're going to wake up and he's going to say
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 5: something to you, y'all. He's going to reach out.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 8: He's going to respond and he's going to invite you
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 8: to Trump TV.
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 4: He has the right to do that.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 8: Would you go and sit down and have a conversation
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 8: with him?
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 4: With Trump.
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 5: If he were to invite you on his platform.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely. That's what Freedom of the Press is about.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 7: Okay. Yes.
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 4: I would go and ask the questions that I feel
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: need to be asked.
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 5: You need to be asked.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 4: Okay. Absolutely. Thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 6: Now, when we come back, let's open up the phone lines.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 11: 800-585-1051.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: We were talking fibroids. This conversation came from Portia.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 13: Yes.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: Now, what happened with Portia? Just break it down briefly.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 23: So Portia sat down with Gayle King on Good Morning
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 23: America and revealed that she had been dealing with fibroids
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 23: and had a hysterectomy.
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 18: We have audio for her, too.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: We'll play the audio when we come back.
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 6: But we're asking 800-585-1051.
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 4: We're asking women, have you dealt with fibroids? How serious
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: has it been? Have you had to have surgery? Did
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: they dissolve? They said by the age of 50, roughly $ 70.
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 6: 80% of women have developed fibroids and especially more common
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 6: in black women.
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 4: So let's open up the phone lines. Let's discuss. 800-585-1051
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: is the Breakfast Club. Good morning. It's topic time. Call
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with the Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody.
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 6: It's DJ and V, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha God, Laura
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 6: LaRosa's here. We are The Breakfast Club. If you're just
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 6: joining us, 800-585-1051. We're talking about fibroids. Now, this came
• 1:19:24
  Speaker 6: from Portia's conversation with Gayle.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 18: Yes, Gayle King on CBS Mornings. We have audio we
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 18: could play.
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 30: Portia Williams says she had an emergency partial hysterectomy earlier
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 30: this year after doctors discovered, listen to this, 21 uterine fibroids.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 28: This was not your first time with fibroids.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 26: Actually, it was time for me to prepare to start
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 26: having kids.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 26: And I was having fertility issues and I was like, okay,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 26: what's really happening? And then I went to the doctor
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 26: and I was pregnant and that made her again.
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 18: Do more checkups.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 26: And she said, well, there's a fibroid there.
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 28: But did she say no big deal, don't worry?
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 26: She said that it's a possibility that it would degenerate
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 26: during the pregnancy.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 26: It ended up not degenerating. It ended up outgrowing the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 26: first baby at four months.
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 28: She thought it would just deteriorate, just go away.
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 26: Yes, because that's what ended up happening with Pilar. But
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 26: with the first one, at four months, I miscarried at
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 26: home from the fibro, outgrowing the baby, and then I
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 26: had to have a myomectomy, which is basically similar to
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 26: how you would do a C-section, so pretty hard surgery.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 6: So we're asking, we just want to speak to the
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 6: women this morning, 800-585-1051 to talk about some of these
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 6: fibroid issues. And women, if you had fibroids, did you
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 6: have to get them removed?
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 4: Did they dissolve? You in here, do you want to
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: share your story if you had or not? What do
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 4: you mean dissolve? Because sometimes they, I guess, shrink and
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 4: dissolve and just go out and stream the blood. Not
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: by themselves though, right? They can. They do?
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 8: No, there are things that, well, like in Portia's case, like,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 8: The baby will outgrow, you know, in some cases, the
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 8: baby will outgrow the fibroid and then you'll still be
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 8: able to deliver, but they won't.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 4: Go completely away.
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 8: Now, there are holistic ways to shrink, you know, the fibroids,
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 8: you know, but you change your diet, you know. Your doctors,
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 8: if you go to a holistic doctor, they'll give you
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 8: like a list of alternatives or non-surgical treatments to get
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 8: fibroids removed.
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 5: And then you do have the surgery to get them removed, though.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 5: But it's very, very common. And no, I don't want
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 5: to share it.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 4: But yes.
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 1: Let's open up the phones. I want to hear some
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: people's stories, man. There's so many sad things about these cases,
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: but wanting more kids and, you know, not being able
• 1:21:25
  Speaker 1: to have them is horrible.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: We have Monique on the line. Monique, good morning.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 4: Hey, Goran. Good morning. We were talking about fireworks this morning,
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: and it says that you had two? I did. I
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 4: had two.
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: Now, to be honest, you don't really know that you
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 3: have the fireworks. It's not a part of your routine
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 3: checkup either.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's not?
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 19: No, it's not.
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 3: Like, if you're not having, like, you may mention to
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 3: your doctor, oh, I'm having heaven bleeding. And they might say, oh, well,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 3: it could be fibroids. But it's not something that they
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 3: routinely check. So, the only.
• 1:21:59
  Speaker 15: Way I knew to check it was my mom had
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 15: them when she was young.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: So, like, by the age of 30, she had to
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 3: have a full hysterectomy because she had so many fibroids.
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 3: So it was already on my radar when I was
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 3: growing up. It was like in my head, like, Oh gosh,
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 3: I don't want to get these fibroids, you know? So
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: I was like overly like sensitive about it. So I
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 3: would bring it up to my doctor. So she was like, okay,
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: do you want to do an ultrasound? And we can check.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 3: So we checked and I.
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 15: Did have two of them.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 20: Um, so what I ended up doing was I cut
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 20: out like sodas for a while.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 3: Um, they would check me every six months. I would
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: go and have an ultrasound just to see, to make
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 3: sure they weren't like growing.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 15: Um, And then I cut out soda.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 19: I started exercising more.
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 3: And then when I went back the next six months,
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 3: one of them had dissolved completely.
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 7: Mm-hmm.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 15: On its own. So then, but I still.
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: Had the one and I still have the one now,
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 3: but it's not like, it's not to the point where
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, I need to have surgery to have
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: it taken out.
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 4: So fibroids can dissolve on their own?
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 5: Absolutely.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: Yes, they can, but you, but you, it's what you
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: put into your body that feeds them.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 3: So like, if you're drinking a lot of sodas, what
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 3: you eat, can, they can make them grow.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 4: Question, you know, when women do have fibroids, they can
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 4: be cancerous, correct?
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 10: I've never heard of that.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 18: I've never heard of that.
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 3: But I mean, I'm sure they can because, you know,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 3: people have they can get cervical cancer. You know what
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: I mean? And these fibroids are, you know, a part
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 3: of your anatomy down there.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 19: So I don't know. But I've never heard of.
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 5: They do not turn into cancer.
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've never heard of that, but they can cause
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: other problems, like, you know, other than cancer. Like, you
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: can have, it can keep you from, let's just say
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 3: you're trying to have a baby, it can keep you
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 3: from having a baby. I've heard people say they had
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: the fibroids, like, they were having trouble having kids, they
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 3: would have the fibroids removed, and then they would instantly
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 3: get pregnant.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 22: Mm-hmm.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 4: Okay, thank you. I just looked it up.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 6: It says fibroids themselves are almost always benign, non-cancerous, but
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 6: there is a rare cancer that can be, I guess
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 6: they can turn into cancer.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 4: It's a very low 1%.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 18: It's a tumor, really.
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure it can, but I've never heard
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 3: of it, but I'm sure it has happened before.
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 4: But what it is, it's a tumor.
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 3: It's a tumor that's inside you. So, and like I said,
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 3: whatever you consume, it'll grow if you don't monitor and
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 3: do the things, you know, to try to help them
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: go away or have the surgery. And when you have
• 1:24:32
  Speaker 3: the surgery, there's no guarantee they won't come back.
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 5: They won't come back.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 3: So they can grow back even if you have them
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 3: taken out.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: Well, thank you for sharing your story. But that's why
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 4: Portia had to... Yeah.
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 5: She had 21 of them inside of her.
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 23: A lot of times it depends on like the sizing
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 23: and stuff of it too, right?
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 18: Because some people opt to not do a hysterectomy.
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 4: Hello, who's this?
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 15: Hello, this is LaTosha from Savannah.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: Hey, LaTosha.
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 5: Good morning.
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 4: Talk to us. It says you went through the same
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 4: thing as Portia.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 15: I did go through the same thing as Portia.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 19: I just first want to say hi, DJ Envy.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: Come on in.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 10: Good morning.
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 19: So I'm glad I made it on because my story
• 1:25:10
  Speaker 19: is like bizarre, like Portia. So my thing was, is
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 19: that I was taking pressure pills. Like I had, I was,
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 19: I had high blood pressure. So I took high blood
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 19: pressure pills, a water pill, birth control, taking fentanyl to
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 19: lose weight. So I just want to take myself off
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 19: of medicine. So I just went ahead and stopped taking
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 19: the birth control. I didn't consult my physician because I
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 19: didn't think.
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 28: I had to.
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 19: Everything was fine with me. I felt great. You know,
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 19: I was working out, just doing what I had to
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 19: do to look good and stuff like that. So I
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 19: took myself off the birth control, and then, like, I
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 19: just started having this pain. It was excruciating pain. It
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 19: wasn't so much, you know, bleeding heavy, whatever, you know,
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 19: when they go through with that, it was the pain
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 19: that was kicking out. So when I went to, you know,
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 19: get it looked at, you know, my doctor was like, oh,
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 19: you have fibroids. You know, whatever that is. I had
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 19: to look it up, find out what was going on.
• 1:25:59
  Speaker 19: So I also tried to do like natural things and
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 19: take the meat out because I know a lot of
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 19: meat with the hormones that can kind of mess with
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 19: other stuff. So I was just doing everything I could
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 19: do to make it work where I wasn't in pain.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 19: And she went ahead and put me back on birth control,
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 19: but she changed it with a different kind of like
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 19: hormone dosage or whatever. But it didn't work and it
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 19: got worse.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 3: So I had the surgery.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 19: I had the myomectomy as well.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 19: And I was at 35. So come 40, well, right
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 19: before I turned 40, they came back. And they came
• 1:26:30
  Speaker 19: back with a vengeance.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 15: It came back to the.
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 19: Point where I was in so much pain. I was
• 1:26:34
  Speaker 19: up to 400, 600, 800 ibuprofens a day. The pain
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 19: would come at any time. I could be walking into
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 19: a party and be ready to drop to the floor
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 19: because the pain just come and just take over where
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 19: I had to shake. I was at the point of regurgitation.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 19: It was just a mess. And the only thing is,
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 19: is that I didn't want to go back through this again.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 19: And with them coming back with the vengeance, I just
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 19: could not go through that pain. So I decided to
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 19: have the partial hysterectomy as well. But in my case,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 19: I never had any kids. So it just stopped because
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 19: after the age of 40, I want to have kids now.
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 19: I never desired to have kids back in the day.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 19: Come 40... You know, being on social media, saying to
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 19: my friends back in high school, everybody having fun with
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 19: the kids, they're graduating, DJ Envy, you know, Charlamagne Tha God,
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 19: you know, Jess and Larry, y'all got beautiful kids. I
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 19: talk about that kid all the time. And like, I
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 19: wish I could have these stories, but I can't. So
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 19: I just want to.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 4: Make it aware.
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 19: I love that Porsche is making awareness of this because
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 19: it's such a big talk. And the fact that, you know,
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 19: I'm one of those ones that actually had the same
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 19: thing happen to me. I don't have any kids. It
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 19: kind of sucks a little bit. And what I was
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 19: thinking about, you know, maybe adoption or foster care. I
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 19: haven't really nailed that down yet. I'm 46 years old
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 19: right now. That ended when I was at the age
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 19: of 40. And I'm happy to not go through that pain,
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 19: but I'm not happy that I don't have kids out
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 19: in the situation.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry that's happening to you.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: You should definitely, if you really want to have kids,
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: you should definitely think about adoption, though. I don't think
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 1: that's a bad option at all.
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 15: Yeah, so I.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 19: Probably would do that. And I thank y'all for listening.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 19: I'm glad I made it on the show. I listen
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 19: to y'all every morning.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 4: Y'all my favorite.
• 1:28:06
  Speaker 19: Shout out to me, the guy.
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 15: You are funny as hell, okay?
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 19: We can hang and have some jokes. Me, you're my
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 19: sister Angel.
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 7: We love you.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Latasha. Thank you for sharing your story.
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 7: To her, right?
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you. Yeah, have a great day.
• 1:28:18
  Speaker 1: I will say it's got to be easier to deal
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: with if you've already had kids.
• 1:28:22
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 1: If you're a certain age, like 45, she got a daughter.
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 4: I know she wanted more, but if you already got.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 1: a child or maybe two children, it's got to be
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 1: easier to deal with.
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 23: She said in a Glamour article, she said now she
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 23: takes snapshots of every single moment with her daughter, Pilar.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 23: She's even more present and more grateful because when she
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 23: looks at her, she sees a true miracle because she,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 23: is her purpose and has always called her her lifesaver.
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 18: But that feels even more true now.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 7: 800-585-1051.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 6: We'll take some more of your stories when we come back.
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 7: I know it, man.
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 4: I know it, man.
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 15: I know it, man.
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: I know it, man.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 7: I know it, man.
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 19: I know it, man.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 4: Call me 800-585-1051 Hello, who's this?
• 1:29:07
  Speaker 15: Hi, this is Keita.
• 1:29:08
  Speaker 10: Hey, Keita.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 15: How are you?
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 4: How are you, Keita?
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: I'm doing amazing.
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 15: Long time listener, first time caller.
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 4: You're doing amazing, aren't you? Exactly. But you got a
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 4: story to share, right?
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 15: I do have a story.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 1: Black people, we're so multidimensional. We can do so many
• 1:29:23
  Speaker 1: different things. But only black people understand that. Only black
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 1: people understand that.
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Keita. Share your story.
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 15: All right, so I was in my late 20s.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 20: I got diagnosed with fibroids. And my doctor was like,
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 20: we're going to monitor them and see if they grow.
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 15: If they start causing me pain. Eventually, they did. I
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 15: ended up having them removed at the age of 32
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 15: because I wanted to keep my fertility.
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 4: I had a myomectomy.
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 15: I got a staph infection. I almost died. It was
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 15: like a whole thing.
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 4: I went through.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 15: So, got removed at 32. Fast forward. I'm approaching 40 now.
• 1:29:57
  Speaker 10: They grew back, y'all.
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 15: Worse.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 4: With a vengeance. Mm-hmm.
• 1:30:01
  Speaker 15: So I ended up having to have a hysterectomy. My
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 15: doctor said, do you want to keep your uterus?
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 4: And I was like, what?
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 15: So that's when it really hit home that I had
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 15: to make the decision. I still didn't have kids. But anyway,
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 15: so when.
• 1:30:15
  Speaker 24: I turned 42, I ended up having a hysterectomy.
• 1:30:19
  Speaker 15: My quality of.
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 20: Life got better, but it was a bit of a
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 20: depression I went through because I mourned the fact that
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 20: I would never be able to.
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 15: Birth a child.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 5: Of course, of course.
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 7: So.
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 24: I would just say it was rough, but it was
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 24: the best thing for my health. And everybody knows me
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 24: as Rich Auntie status because I'm not a mom, but
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 24: I'm everybody auntie. And I'm going to tell all the
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 24: ladies out there.
• 1:30:45
  Speaker 15: Who are facing this. But you're still a woman. You're
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 15: still whole. Take heart. It will be okay.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 24: And it took me a long time to be even
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 24: able to share my story and even feel this way
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 24: about it.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: So I thank you for giving me the platform.
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Sheena. I want to ask you something, Keita.
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 1: And this is a question for all the women who
• 1:31:05
  Speaker 1: call in who have had this happen. Do doctors automatically
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 1: tell you that you have a hysterectomy? Are there other
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 1: methods they tell you to do before.
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 5: There's other methods.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 20: You can do a UFE, which is a uterine fibroid
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 20: embolization where they kind of freeze the blood flow so they.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 15: Don't feed the fibroids.
• 1:31:27
  Speaker 20: And then there's the myomectomy, which I had.
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 15: Which was like an open surgery where they removed the fibroid.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 15: And then there may be some other things. Some people
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 15: have been told they can take pills, but mine were
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 15: so big. It looked like I was about six months pregnant.
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 15: It had distended my stomach that bad. So hysterectomy was
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 15: the best case for me. But I would say to
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 15: the ladies, don't do that first. You know, explore other options.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 23: I've heard stories about women that were not presented, especially
• 1:31:56
  Speaker 23: a lot of times with black women who don't know anything.
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 23: They're not presented with those other options. And then they
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 23: go right to hysterectomy when they could have done some
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 23: of the other options. I've heard those stories a lot.
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 4: That's horrible. Thank you for sharing your story.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 15: And that's unfortunate. It shouldn't go straight to hysterectomy.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 24: And thank y'all.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 4: Thank you.
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 1: You know, these doctors, man, these doctors be misdiagnosing people
• 1:32:13
  Speaker 1: all the time. And doctors love surgery because it's better
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: for them.
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying?
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 5: And they're learning as they're doing surgery, too. They're experimenting.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 8: That's just what they be doing.
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 4: Is there a moral?
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 7: That's scary, y'all.
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: It's just, I think you should go get checked.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 8: Like, I said 30s, but as early as 20s, like,
• 1:32:31
  Speaker 8: go get checked because she said she was 27 when
• 1:32:34
  Speaker 8: she got hers and she had to get them removed
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 8: at 30.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: They came back at 40.
• 1:32:38
  Speaker 23: But the scariest part is, even if you're getting, like,
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 23: you go get checked, you find out early so there's
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 23: more options, but it's like, you don't even know what
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 23: got you there. So, like, you could literally, like, one
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 23: day be planning, like, all right, I'm going to have
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 23: a baby.
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 22: And I'm going to have a family.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 23: The next day, it's like, that option might just be
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 23: taken off the table for you. Like, it's all childbirth.
• 1:32:55
  Speaker 23: Fertility thing is really... It's scary. It's scary as you
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 23: get older, for sure.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 4: Salute to Latham. Latham, we need you up here, Latham.
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: Latham Thomas, we need Latham up here, you know, to
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 1: have a deeper conversation about fibroids. Well, she was my
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: doula for my last two kids, but, I mean, that's
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 1: what she does.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 4: She's a doula. She's... I don't know.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 4: But she works with, I know she understands the fibroid discussion.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 6: Coach Jessie, they used to come up here a lot.
• 1:33:23
  Speaker 6: She's heavily into fibroid. Her name is Coach Jessie. She
• 1:33:26
  Speaker 6: used to come up here a lot and she would
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 6: talk about fibroids and they would use holistic ways of
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 6: shrinking and removing fibroids.
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: All right. And Mama Glow, that's the name of Lacey's.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 11: Yeah, Mama Glow.
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 1: She's the founder of Mama Glow and they're a maternal
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: health education.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 7: Yes.
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 10: All right.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 4: All right, it's time for the latest with Lauren LaRosa.
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 4: LL Cool Bay, Top Dog Low.
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 23: Yes, so let's start the latest this hour honoring and
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 23: congratulating Lisa Leslie. Over the weekend, she was the 16th
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 23: person to be honored with a statue outside of the
• 1:34:21
  Speaker 23: Crypto Arena, which is now known as Star Plaza. But
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 23: she's the first Los Angeles Sparks player to be immortalized
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 23: with a bronze statue outside of the Crypto Arena. The
• 1:34:31
  Speaker 23: first late, yeah, first Sparks player to be honored with
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 23: a statue, but the second woman, the first was Gigi Bryant,
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 23: who passed away alongside Kobe Bryant, so they honored her
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 23: there as well, too.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 18: But congratulations to Lisa.
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 7: Very well deserved.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: Congratulations, Lisa.
• 1:34:45
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry. Lisa, I was going to call her Leslie Lisa.
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God. Dropping the clues bombs to Lisa Leslie.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 1: Lisa Leslie should be in the conversation for new WNBA commissioner.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: Too, by the way.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, that would be amazing.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, she should be in the conversation. Yes. Wow.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 14: Wow.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 4: How does that work? I don't know. People just put
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 4: people in conversation.
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 7: Really?
• 1:35:05
  Speaker 22: Okay.
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 2: I didn't know how that works.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 5: Okay, go ahead.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 18: Do that.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 16: All right.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 23: Now, speaking of conversation, Drake's attorneys are about to head
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 23: to court on December 4th to have a conversation again
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 23: about this Universal Music Group lawsuit.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 4: It's still going on.
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 11: Yes.
• 1:35:21
  Speaker 23: So oral arguments will be happening then before a panel
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 23: of appeals court judges. And this will be the final
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 23: step before a decision is rendered on whether or not,
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 23: you know, how this appeal was going to look for him.
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 23: So you guys remember Drake sued Universal Music Group back
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 23: in the beginning of twenty twenty five. He alleged defamation,
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 23: harassment and deceptive business practice in regarding the release and
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 23: promotion of Kendrick Lamar's diss track, Not Like Us. And
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 23: then that lawsuit was dismissed in October of 2025. And
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 23: the judge basically said that the lyrics are a non-actionable opinion.
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 23: So there's nothing that can qualify as defamation. And Drake,
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 23: a couple months later, argued against the dismissal. and wants
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 23: to appeal it.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 1: I just will never understand why does he think this
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 1: couldn't happen to him for the things that he was
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 1: saying about Kendrick.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 4: You understand what I'm saying? He said Kendrick was a
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 4: woman beater and.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 1: Said Kendrick's... Best friend was the mother of Kendrick's child.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 4: Why does he think this wouldn't apply to him?
• 1:36:18
  Speaker 5: It was salacious assaults on both.
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 4: I don't even understand the point of this lawsuit at
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 4: this point.
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 8: Remember he was saying when somebody categorizes someone as a pedophile,
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 8: it definitely makes brands pull away.
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 4: So does being called a woman-beater. They both went to
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 4: hell on each other. I can't even believe we're still
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 4: having this discussion in 2020.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 18: We are still. We will have to have it again.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 4: So what happens in December just determines whether it goes
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 4: to court.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 23: Whether it can be brought back into court again. Because
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 23: as of right now, it was dismissed and it's not
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 23: moving forward because the judge doesn't see a reason for
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 23: it to. And what Drake is standing on, or his
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 23: team is standing on, is that dismissing a lawsuit like
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 23: that is a dangerous categorical rule because it prohibits other
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 23: people from filing defamation case against artists and labels.
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, in a rap battle, it shouldn't be any defamation.
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 4: Everybody should keep it moving. GNX came out, Kendrick did fine.
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 4: Iceman came out, Drake did fine. Like, everybody's fine.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 4: It's gone. It came... Gone, whatever I'm trying to say.
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 5: It came and went.
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 2: It came and went.
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 5: Somebody wiped it off.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: Oh, my God.
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 5: Now, stop with all that nasty stuff.
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: That's the wrong.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 5: Rapper that we're talking about.
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 8: Now, is it possible that his business could still be
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 8: affected by that.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 5: Accusation?
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 4: No.
• 1:37:33
  Speaker 5: It was people, every time he walked outside, imagine somebody
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 5: coming up to use him up.
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 4: This man just dropped three albums. Nobody, like, he did fine.
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 1: What are we talking about? This man just put out another,
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 1: what was it, FOMO two weeks ago.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 4: He's fine.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 7: Right.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 4: Everybody's fine.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 2: You don't know.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 8: If he fine, you only see what they put out there.
• 1:37:48
  Speaker 8: You don't know what he's dealing with at night.
• 1:37:50
  Speaker 4: Internally, he's hurting. That we know. That's what I'm saying.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 4: But him and his therapist got it figured out.
• 1:37:54
  Speaker 7: Oh, Lord.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 5: All right, well.
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 4: Career-wise, he's fine.
• 1:37:57
  Speaker 18: Yeah. Career-wise, he is fine.
• 1:38:00
  Speaker 23: Did y'all see people getting on Khaled because Khaled named
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 23: his top five artists? No. Let's take a listen to
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 23: Khaled's top five artists that he mentioned.
• 1:38:09
  Speaker 8: When it comes down to top five, Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls, Tupac, Nas,
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 8: and Ross.
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 5: Oh, Ross.
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 5: He said Jay-Z, Biggie.
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 18: He said Biggie, Tupac, Nas, I'm sorry, Jay-Z and Kendrick.
• 1:38:29
  Speaker 5: Kendrick and Rick Ruff.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 7: That.
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 5: Did he say Kendrick?
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: No, he didn't.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 7: Sorry.
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 1: I don't see the problem with that because even though
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 1: Khaled has definitely championed Drake and he would say things like,
• 1:38:37
  Speaker 1: I like what Drake likes, that's different than saying what
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 1: is your top five of all time.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 5: Right, right, right, right.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 18: But wait, why if.
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 23: If he decided to not have Drake on his list,
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 23: even though he was running around screaming about the Drake
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 23: versus and all that stuff.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: Did he have Drake in his top five before? If
• 1:38:52
  Speaker 1: he did, then that's different. But I don't know if
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 1: he did.
• 1:38:55
  Speaker 5: It can't change. No, it can change.
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 18: We know that he was running around. I like whatever
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 18: Drake likes.
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 5: It can change. I got the Drake versus.
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 1: Mine hasn't changed in years. I got a top seven
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 1: and mine hasn't changed in years. Ghostface, Scarface, Nas, Jay, Killer.
• 1:39:10
  Speaker 8: Mike, Jeezy, T.I., But you have lived through different eras
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 8: of rap, of music, whereas some people, maybe you came
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 8: into another era where you like this rapper and he
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 8: took the place of one of the others on the roster.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 11: Yeah.
• 1:39:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know. It can change. But he said the greats.
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 5: Those were the greats that he talked about.
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 23: But I think people are talking about it, though, because
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 23: he's always championed Drake so much.
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 18: It is said he's one of the greatest. Like, he
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 18: has said that Drake.
• 1:39:36
  Speaker 4: Is one of the greatest.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 18: And then Drake commented and said, well, Drake versus you
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 18: got Drake Bell.
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 10: And now all of a sudden.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 5: Well, was Drake ever making him a lot of money?
• 1:39:44
  Speaker 8: I mean, it could be a reason that she be
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 8: running around talking about Drake.
• 1:39:47
  Speaker 23: Drake is definitely... You throw Drake on a song and
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 23: it goes crazy.
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 18: Yeah, they've done a lot of things together.
• 1:39:52
  Speaker 11: But.
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 4: What else? You got anything else?
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 18: Yes, we do. Did y'all know that Fat Joe made
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 18: the Candy Shop beat?
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 2: He made the beat?
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 4: Did he say it?
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 18: Take a listen to Fat Joe on the real record.
• 1:40:02
  Speaker 4: Hold on, wait a minute.
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 21: I made Candy Shop with Scott Storch. I had Lil'
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 21: Kim dancing like this. Like, move your body like a snake, mama.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 21: I had her doing that to the Candy Shop. Scott
• 1:40:17
  Speaker 21: Storch called me 20, 30 times. Yo, you sure you
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 21: don't want the beat? You sure 50 Cent wanted it?
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 21: I was like, nah, I ain't got no problem. I
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 21: got no problem with 50 Cent.
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 2: Give him the beat.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 21: I made the beat. It wouldn't have been Candy Shop.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 21: It would have been something else. But the beat, I
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 21: made it. Whatever you say out your mouth, Scott could
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 21: play it. In any case, he called me 30 times.
• 1:40:38
  Speaker 4: I had no problem with 50 Cent. Wait a minute.
• 1:40:41
  Speaker 5: I'm reading it and 50 Cent needs people. And I
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 5: don't see that. I didn't know that.
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 23: 50 Cent commented on this video. He says, Joe's stories
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 23: be sounding like cat, but they not. He just make
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 23: it sound crazy.
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 1: That's why I can't dispute anything Fat Joe says for
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 1: that exact reason. Because Fat Joe has said some things
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 1: that sound unbelievable.
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: And then they always get verified. So I can't ever
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: say Fat Joe is capping.
• 1:41:07
  Speaker 8: You said that song when he came up here you
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 8: said that song.
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 4: I've seen it I've been proven wrong way too many
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: times I.
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 23: Know and Scott Storch has like pushed back on this
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 23: because I think he's arguing technicality though like yeah you
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 23: know we talked through it whatever but like he physically
• 1:41:20
  Speaker 23: made it but Fat Joe says I was talking him through.
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 4: What to do anything I can say Scott can play
• 1:41:25
  Speaker 4: it yeah yep Listen.
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 23: That may have been in many rooms and many historic moments.
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: You might can call Fat Joe a lot of things,
• 1:41:33
  Speaker 4: but liar is not one of them.
• 1:41:34
