• 2:43
  Speaker 1: tell you what's going on in Louisville. Will tell you
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: people's responses uh to the grand jury's indictment of former
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Louisville police officer A. Brake Hankinson will tell you what
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that indictment means and what's going on with the other officers.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. Keep a lot
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: this to this club. Good morning morning. Everybody is dj
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Envy Angela, Ye, Charlomagne the guy. We all to breakfast club.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Let's getting some front page news. What we're starting you Well,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: let's start, of course with Brianna Taylor and a Kentucky
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: grand jury did indict former Louisville police officer Brett Hankinson
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that was on three counts of wanton endangerment in the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: first degree, and neither he nor the other two officers
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: who were involved in that encounter were charged in her death. So,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: just to be clear, none of the charges that Brett
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Hankinson faced have anything to do with killing Brianna Taylor.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: This all has to do with the bullets that penetrated
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the wall of the residence and entered a neighboring apartment
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that was occupied by a child, a man, and a
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: pregnant woman. So Brianna Taylor, there's no charges regarding her killing. Now,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: even when you know, even when you know that you
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: know it's not gonna no justice is gonna be served.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It doesn't doesn't hurt any less, I'll tell you that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: And you could tell just by the way they were
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: setting up Louisville and shutting down the courts and making
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: sure everything was protected, they knew what was coming down yesterday.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Now Here is the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, at
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a news conference following the Grand Jerry's announcements where he
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: talked about the no knock. Evidence shows that officers both
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: knocked and announced their presence at the apartment. The officers
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: statements about their announcement are corroborated by an independent witness
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: who was near in a proximity to Apartment four. In
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: other words, the warrant was not served as a no
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: knock warrant. What officers were unable to get anyone to
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: answer or open the door to Apartment four. Decision was
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: made to breach the door. But the boyfriend is not
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: The boyfriends not considered. The witness wasn't the boyfriend was
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the Kenneth walking Kenneth Kenneth. If Kenneth says, if
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Kenneth says nobody knocked, his word doesn't mean anything. Yeah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but you know what bothers me is is who signed
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: off on that warrd? Like, who was the one that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: sent him to the wrong house. Who's the one that
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: didn't know that the gentleman was already in custody. Who
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: signed off on that, who allowed him to go into
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that house? That's that's what That's why I don't like.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know how he's not charged. That person's not
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: charged because he made a mistake. It was It's clearly
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: a mistake. It was clearly he was. It was clearly
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they didn't do the product work. No, they didn't send
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: him to the wrong house. He was. He was signed
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: off on a search one for Rihanna's department. They didn't
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: do it something to the wrong house. Wasn't the guy?
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: He was already in custody. He was already in custody.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So a little communication, all right. Now Here is a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Kentucky Attorney General, Daniel Cameron, talking about the investigation. He
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: says it was fair and so the length of the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: investigation was a reflection of how important it was that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: we got this right. We didn't want to rush it,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and we did not. These are prosecutors and investigators who
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: don't care about political distinctions, don't care about influence in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: any particular regard. What they care about is the truth,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and we presented that to the grand jury, all right.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He also talks about the claims to injustice to the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: black community. He responds to those claims, what do you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: say to people who say, this is just another example
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: of the black community not getting full of justice. I
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: certainly understand the pain that has been brought about by
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the tragic loss of miss Taylor. I understand that as
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: an attorney general who is responsible for all one hundred
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and twenty counties in terms of being the chief legal officer,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I understand that I understand that as a black man,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: how painful this is, which is why it was so
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: incredibly important for make sure that we did everything we
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: possibly could to uncover every fact. Here's the thing for me, man,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: when officers, you know, I guess, make a mistake, I'm
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: putting mistaken air quotes. When you are a victim of
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: mild practice, like you know, Brianna Taylor was, what's the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: punishment for the officers if it's not an arrest? What
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: is it if I'm make a mistake here on the radio.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: There's some type of consequences, Like what are the consequences
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: they like they still get to keep their job. They
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: don't get suspended without pay, Like what happens? Like nothing?
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Just a life is gone and it's just whatever. And
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I want to skip ahead to Donald Trump now because
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: everybody was talking about his quote response, and here's what
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he had to say. His message to the black community.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: What is your message to the black community who believed
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that perhaps justice was not served? Well, my messages that
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I love the black community and I've done more for
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: the black community than any other president with a possible
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: exception of Abraham Lincoln. And I mean, man, I don't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: know enough about it. I heard the decision was just made.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: We've been together here and so we haven't discussed it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: But after I see what the decision is, I will
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: have a commentary. Okay. Wow. And here he is talking
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: about the Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron, who you just heard,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and he thinks he's great, really brilliant. Kentucky Attorney General
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Daniel Cameron is doing a fantastic job. I think he's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a star. All right. That is your president, and that
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: is your front page news. All right, get it off

  Speaker 1: appreciate you, King, Love you King? Hello? Who's this are you? Guys? Um?
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: I would like to pick it off, um, Angeline Charlomagne,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I would like to pick it off my chest. I
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: have one daughter just graduated from Spellman last year. The
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: hurt that I feel for her mother is just unbearable.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And at this point in time, they're asking for us.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And I don't promote violence, but I honestly feel like
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it's just something to my child, you kill her. I
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: think you get to list how am I supposed to
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: John's Earth without my daughter? So I want a Maratha
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: to know how they're creating the Christ Turners, the new
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Nat Turners by consistently giving us in justice when it
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: comes to the school system, when it comes to the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: criminal system, like at this point, they're leaving us no
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: choice but to protect ourselves. And I agree with Charlomagne, um,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: it is time that we get our own guns because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: it's going to go down, not the president that's saying
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: he's not going to leave office. As if people stug
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: when it's confidentially, Um, we have to stand up. We
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: have to be strong. And I again I feel so
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: bad for Starna Taylor's MoMA, considering I have one daughter,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, if he hid anything to my baby,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: your kid will not be able to live in Your
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: mom's not gonna be able to live it. I'm sorry,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: but this is what we are they're asking us to.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: They're now I'm telling us, you have no choice, you
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: get no justice. So the only justice that I see
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: is if we saw it raising up like Nats in
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: the system turns in this blob because they're not going
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to give it to us. Top of the day, guys.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: You that's the best thing I thought about was to
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: make up Palmer Brianna Taylor's There's so much love and
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: prayers out to her because this is such a difficult
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: time to have to go through this. Yeah. Absolutely, And America,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: this is the energy that you're creating because you're not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: you know, you're simply not giving folks no justice and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you're leaving folks no choice. All right, And every black person,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: every black person in America absolutely needs to own a
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: legal firearm. That is a form of self care. Every
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: black person in America needs to own a legal firearm
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: that is a form of self care when you are
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: black in this country. Get it off your chest. Eight
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one oh five one. If you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: need to vent, hit us up now with the Breakfast Club.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club. This is your time to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: get it off your chest. Whether you're man here from
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you on the Breakfast Club. You got something on your
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: mont Hello, who's this? Good morning? Hatred should get it
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: off your chest? Hi, good morning, guys. I'm gonna say
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: stop by thing Bless you guys on the beautiful day.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: Bless you too, Queen. I just want to talk about
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: this situation with Brianna Taylor. It's just very disheart and
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: as a black mom, it's just so disappointed to see
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: that her mom is not going to get justice for
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: her daughter. And it's just like, we don't have no
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: trust in our system. We're raising kids and very hard time.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: It's like you don't know which way to turn. You
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: don't know what to tell your children about what's going on,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: especially if they're young. It's very hard to sit down
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and have these hard conversations with them. But us as
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the black community needs to have these hard conversations. We
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: need to expand and let our black children know that
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: the way they're being treated and the things that are
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: happening to them are not okay and it's not right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: It's because, you know, I feel like none of us
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: were surprised by the verdict, but a lot of us
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: did still feel disappointed, and we also kind of was like, okay,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: maybe this time, maybe this time. Absolutely, I didn't think
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: that none of us were surprised. I didn't have anything,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: but I still I still was praying for the family.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: And hoping that something good would come out of all this.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: You know, there were people who were very active in Louisville,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: occupying Louisville and protesting, and a lot of things were happening.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: The twelve million dollars sentlement, you feel like, Okay, maybe
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: they do realize something. Maybe this is an indication that
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: there will be some justice following that. And once again nothing.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I didn't think that all week on this radio all
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: week or then't no justice gonna be served in no way,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: shape or form. And I really don't understand how people
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: can use this to tell us to vote, Like, these
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: types of injustices happen under democrats too, doesn't matter who's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: in office locally nationally, We've been watching police and damn
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: there everyone else get away with these type of injustice
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: towards black people forever. So how was voting going to
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: help that? Somebody got to explain that one to me too, Like,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: I just don't think using in a moment like this
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: to say we'll go vote like it's been happening under
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: every administrat happens locally, happened nationally. How is voting gonna
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: change the way white people perceive black people in America.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Please tell me that get it off your chest. Eight
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: hundred five eight five one o five one. Now we
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: got rumors on the way. Yes, and we'll talk more
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: about Brianna Taylor because we just have to do that
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: this morning. And we'll tell you what some people have
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: been saying. We'll read you some of Lebron's tweets as well.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We are to Breakfast Club.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the rumors. Let's tell Brianna Taylor, she's
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: filling the team. This is the rumor report with Angela
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Yee on the Breakfast Club. Yes, and because we don't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: have enough front page news, I want to make sure
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: we address Brianna Taylor all morning. Attorney Ben Crump hosted
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Jefferson Grand County Jerry and DT's former officer Brett Hankinson
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: with three counts of wanton endangerment and first degree for
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: bullets that went into other apartments, but nothing for the
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: murder of Brianna Taylor. This is outrageous and offensive. If
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Bret Hankinson's behavior was wanton endangerment to people in neighboring apartments,
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: then it should have been wanting endangerment in Brianna Taylor's
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: apartment too. In fact, it should have been wanted murder.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden tweeted out, even amidst the profound grief and anger,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: today's decision generated. Violence is never and can never be
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the answer. Those who engage in it must be held accountable.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Jill and I are keeping the officers shot tonight in
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Louisville and our prayers. We wished them both the swift
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and full recovery because, as you know, there were two
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: officers who were shot yesterday during the protests. Kamala Harris
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: tweeted out tonight, I'm thinking of Brianna Taylor's family, who
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: was still grieving the loss of a daughter and sister.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: We must never stop speaking Brianna's name as we work
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: to reform our justice system, including overhauling no knock warrents.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: She goes on to say, Joe Biden and I are
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: keeping the police officers who were shot in Louisville in
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: our hearts, wishing them a swift and speedy recovery. Violence
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: is not the answer, and we must find a way
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: to express our grief, anger, and demands in ways that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: reflect the world we wish to see. Bernie Sanders tweeted
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: out Brianna Taylor's life matter. The result is a disgrace
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: and an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racist.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: The time for fundamental change is now. Colin Kaepernick tweeted
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: out the white supremacist institution of policing that stole Brianna
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Taylor's life from us must be abolished for the safety
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: and well being of our people. And Lebron said, I've
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: been lost for words today. I'm devastated, hurt, sad, mad.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: We want justice for Brianna, Yet justice was met for
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: her neighbor's apartment walls and not her beautiful life. Was
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: I surprised that the verdict absolutely not, but damn it,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I was and still am hurt and heavy hearted. I
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: said my love to Brianna's mother, family and friends. I'm sorry,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. The most disrespected person on earth is the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: black woman. I promise you I'll do my best to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: change this as much as I can, and even more.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Love to you queens all over this country and beyond.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: So Those are just some of the tweets that was
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: sent out yesterday. All right now, Chance the Rapper is
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: telling people to vote for whoever your mom is voting for.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: He said this a couple of days ago, and people
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: went in on him on Twitter, and he said, ask
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: your mom who to vote for? Vote for who she say.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Your mom had been through a lot, Ask them and
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: trust them. What do y'all think about that? I'll be
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: honest with ya. I mean, you vote for you woman.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: My mom got some good choices, you know what I mean.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Ain't never is anohing wrong to go with mama's opinion,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: especially if you don't necessarily know about politics and you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: haven't been paying attention. I don't have a problem with that.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know who your mom's mama good money. Yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it depends on who your mom is. I would say.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, you encourage people really to vote
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: for whoever you want to vote for. It might be
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: different than which but they were going in on him,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and then they went on him for this. He was
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: talking about Justin Bieber's new album and here here's what
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: he had to say. This album is really some of
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the best music I've made. Would you agree this is
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: no cap at all. I said, some of the best
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: music I've ever heard period. It reminds me of when
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Michael Jackson made Off the Wall. Everybody that's listening, I
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: am merging it right now. I promise you it is
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: literally groundbreaking music. So of course the headline was Chance
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the Rapper says that Justin Bieber's album is like Michael
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Jackson's Off the Wall. But Chance the Rapper was quick
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to point out he was saying it reminds me of
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: don't do that. Don't do that, Chance. You know what
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. Just say the music is fired. Just say
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the music is dope. Don't compare it to anything. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: if you're going to compare it to something, please don't
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: compare it to Michael Jackson Off the Wall, because now
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I am hoping to hear something as good as Off
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: the Wall. But it's not even about how the record sounds.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: It's about how the music makes you feel. Off the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Wall gives us a feeling, and it's a feeling that
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: is unmatched because we can all remember what we were
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: doing as kids when we first heard Off the Wall,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and we've all got different moments, you know, hearing Off
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the wall throughout the years that music Justin Bie was
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: putting out doesn't have that kind of cachier behind the chests.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: I don't do that to him, okay. And Michelle Obama
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: was on Conan O'Brien and she was talking about the
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: beginning of the pan demic, how things were really cool.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: They were organized with the girls. They would just have
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: all kinds of a little fun things and watercolor paintings,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and they learned how to play spades. But then she said,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: things went left, and now towards the end of the pandemic,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: everybody's kind of sick, and the kids are sick of
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: being around them. Listen to this. We've kind of had
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: phases of COVID. There was sort of the early stages
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: where we were all excited to be together and we
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: were being all organized. That went away, and it started
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: as the first our kids down a little sick of us.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: I will say, in the beginning of this, I was
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a lot more gung ho about being productive about things
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: in my home. And since then things have fallen apart.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, I'm Angela Yee and that is your
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: rumor report. All right, thank you, miss ye. Now when
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we come back front page news. What we're talking about,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: you know what we're talking about. We got to talk
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: more about, Brianna Taylor. I want to discuss this verdict
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: that came down and you know, just people being really
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: disappointed and what's happening in Louisville and what's happening all
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: over the United States. They were protests here in Brooklyn
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: yesterday that we're at the Barclays and we'll discuss the aftermath.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll get into that next. It's the Breakfast Club.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Go Morning, So Breakfast Club, your mornings will never be

  Speaker 1: for details. Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the guy. We all the Breakfast Club. Let's get in
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: some front page news. The last night it sports the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: heat beat of the Celtics. They lead the series three
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: one one one twelve, one oh nine. Let's get right
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: into it easy. Yes. Brianna Taylor, Kentucky Grand Jerry and
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: died in former Louisville police officer Brett Higginson, but there
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: were no charges brought up on the other two officers
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: involved in the encounter that killed Brianna Taylor. So the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: charges against Hankinson are basically he's facing a maximum of
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: five years in jail, and it specifically states that, under
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to human life, he wantonly shot
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a gun into the apartment. So this has nothing to
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: do with Brianna Taylor getting killed. This has to do
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: with him shooting and the bullets penetrating a wall of
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: the residents entering a neighboring apartment that occupied. So not
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: even the person who was killed in her own home
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: while she was sleeping in bed. These charges are for
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: a neighboring apartment where no one was injured. That's crazy,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: all right. Now, Let's listen to the Kentucky Attorney General
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Cameron is talking about these charges in talking about homicide
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: being considered. Did the prenury ever consider the charges of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: manslaughter reckless homicide? I will get into the specifics again
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of the proceedings themselves are secret, but what I will
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: say is that our team walked in through every homicide offense,
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: and it also presented all of the information that was
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: available to the grand jury, and then the grand jury
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: was ultimately the one that made the decision about indicting
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Detective Hankinson. I don't see how you don't at least
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: get a manslaughter charge, Like like doctors commitmental practice. There's
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: consequences I say something on this radio, you know, even
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: if it's by accident that I didn't mean to, there's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: consequences to it. Like how is there no consequences killing
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: a young woman in her apartment while she's sleeping. Of course,
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: once this happened, there was a protests across the United States,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: and in Louisville there were actually two police officers who
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: were shot during the protests. Shortly before the curfew began,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: there were reports of gunfire near one of the marches.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Two of the responding officers were shot. They have non
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: life threatening wounds, and there is a suspect in custody.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: The way that a lot of people feel right now,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: they should be happy that it's not more. And what
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: do you expect, seriously, like, you know, if there's if
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: there's no if there's no order, you know, what I mean,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: because people don't feel like there's getting getting justice. That's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: the justice system fault, the so called justices. Yeah, but
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: we can't. People can't run around to start shooting random people.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: That's the whole point. People and people. That's what we're
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: trying to tell. The political that's what that's what we're
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: trying to tell the police officers point. But we just
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: can't start shooting random people back all right, listen, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: agree with you, but what do you expect, Like, I mean, seriously,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: how do you keep putting this kind of energy y'all
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: keep not giving people justice and then expect people not
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: to be upset. I'm not gonna tell somebody how they
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: should express their pain. People are hurt. Hurt, people hurt people,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: People are upset, people are angry, people are venting, people
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: are frustrated. People the end of day wrote now. Donald
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Trump tweeted out praying for the two police officers that
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: were shot tonight in Louisville, Kentucky. The federal government stan
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: behind you and it is ready to help. And then
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: he also said law and order, but he didn't say
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: nothing about prays to the family of or nothing, you
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like Come on, man, nobody needs
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: to be hurting anybody at a time like this, all
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: right now. Donald Trump also was questioned during a press
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: conference yesterday about whether he will leave the White House
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: peacefully if he loses the election, and here's what happened.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Will you commit to making sure that there is a
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: peaceful transfer poll of power after the election? Cool, We're
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: gonna have to see what happens. You know that I've
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: or a disaster and that, but people are rioting. Do
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: you commit to making sure that there's a peaceful want
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to get rid of the ballots and you'll have a
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: very trans We'll have a very peaceful there won't be
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: a transfer. Frankly, there'll be a continuation. I mean, I've
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: been telling y'all. I've been telling y'all on his radio
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: for about a year and a half that the fastest
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in the White House was not leaving that man. Who's
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: going to retain power through voter suppression. They're going to voters,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: especially in inner cities. They're gonna suppress mail in voting.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: You already see them suppressing registration roles. They're gonna limit
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: physical polling locations, especially in areas with a high black population.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: The man is telling you he's not leaving peacefully, and
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: he's telling you just throw away the absentee ballots, don't
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: count the ballots, that we won't have to worry about
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: whether or not there'll be a peaceful transition of power.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: By the way, he benefits from the chaos, all of
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: this recklessness in the screech right now, everything out of order.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Now he can really say, oh, I'm the law nor
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: the president. I'm going to maintain order. Now. You actually
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: caused the chaos by not giving Americans what they deserve,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: which is justice in a situation like Brianna Taylor. But
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: he's gonna benefit from it because now they're gonna run
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: these images on Fox News over and over and over.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: They're gonna be in Donald Trump added Donald Trump commercial
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: saying oh, this is Joe Biden's America. No, this is
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: just America, period, and it's gonna be America. As long
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: as this crooked system is in place. He doesn't need
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: to be reformed, it needs to be overhauled. Since Ruth
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Bader Ginsburg died, they said there was a surge in
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: voter register. They said that vote dot org saw more
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: than forty thousand new voter registrations on Saturday and Satnday,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: which is a sixty eight percent increase from the prior weekend.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: That's good. Once again, I really don't understand how you
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: how you use this situation to tell people to vote,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: because these type of injustices happen under Democrats too, doesn't
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: matter who's in office locally. Naturally, we've been watching police
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: and damn there everybody else get away with these type
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: of injustice towards the black people forever. So you got
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: to explain to me how voting is going to change.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: In most places, you vote for your attorney general, and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: you vote for local officials, and then you have to
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: hold them accountable. It's not just voting but also being involved.
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: And so it is important who you vote for, hopefully
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: your governor, who might appoint the attorney general in some states.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Some states you vote for your attorney general. So it
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is important to make sure you tell people to vote
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: because who you want to represent you and I'm not
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: saying that that person has to be a Democrat or
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: a Republican, but at least know who you're voting for
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: and who has your edge. Absolutely, yeah, we should an
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: register vote and people should be voting, not just for
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the presidency, like you said, for all places, for mayors,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: for district attorneys for like, yeah, absolutely, we should be so.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Throughout the history of America, how can we always see
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: this this this type of scenario played out over and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again. A lot of times,
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think don't vote. A lot of we do
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: need more people to register to vote and to participate
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: in the process. And we also need more people to
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: be encouraged to run for these offices. A lot of
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: times you don't even know who's our local offices, Like like,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think, be honest, a lot of times we don't
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: know who's in our local offices, you know. I mean
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: we need to start we need to start doing ours.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: And I think we need people that are in these
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: local offices that are willing to overhaul the system, not
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: reform it, because this system is not for us. When
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: they do when when they defined justice for all, black
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: people were not included. And that's why encourage people to
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: run for office. And if you know somebody who you
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: think would being an incredible mayor or chief of a
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: city police Department, encourage them to run for our office.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Let them know that you'll support them and strategize. It's
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: not just always the processes. These are our candidates, but
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: maybe you know people who you think that person would
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: be a great candidate. Be involved. All right, a lot
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of your front page news. Now when we come back,

• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of transgressions that I had in my life,
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: but hopefully they look at the transformation the things I
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: went through in my life, seeing domestic violence, growing up,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: finding out that my stepfather was a contracted killer, going
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: through my marriages and all this stuff that I went

  Speaker 1: like Charlemagne and Monk's Corner down in South Carolina, the
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: same kind of background and whatnot. But you know, it
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: was it was. It was kind of crazy for me
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: because you know, people think you grew up in the Bronx,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: that's where you're going to find a lot of trouble whatnot.
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: But I found more trouble when I was in Alabama,
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: because you gotta understand, when I grew up down there,
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: it was the start of the crack era, and so
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of the country boys down there was doing
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of crazy stuff, and a lot of my
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: friends got caught up in a lot of the drugs whatnot.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: One of my best friends got killed in the drive
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: by shooting. One of my other friends was you know,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: on roeryp In twenty seven years of his life in
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: prison and all that type of stuff. So a lot
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: of the things that they grew up with I grew
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: up with. I just had some of the better decisions.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: I had some people in my life to kind of
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: put me on the right track. Or I could have
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: been doing the same thing that they're doing right now
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: or what they were doing. You know, Mike, you did
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: something that I did, and I think all men eventually
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: have to be intentional about doing. You went and you
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you started doing the work on yourself to get some
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: healing and some wholeness. When were you able to identify
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: that you had traumas you needed to deal with and
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: and and that you needed to go get help. You know,
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: it's crazy, is it wasn't until I actually started writing
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: this book. This book was my therapy. I didn't even
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: realize that I had so many traumas and pains and
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: anger and depression that was built up inside me until
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: I started writing this book. Then it became my therapy.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: I just know that at the age of forty seven,
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: when I started writing this book, that I see him
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: on the outside that I was happy. I was living
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: a great life. My job was wonderful, you know. I
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: was telling everybody I was happy, the happies I had
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: ever been in my life, professionally and personally. But I
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: would find myself at home just crying uncontrollably for no
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: reason whatsoever. I'd be on the road with the clippers
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: when I was working with them, and I would just have,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: you know, just tears was coming out of my eyes
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: for whatever reason. And something told me I needed to
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: write this book. So when I started writing this book,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: it felt like I was regurgitating. It just felt like
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: everything started coming out of me at once, and I
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: realized that I had all this stuff, all this trauma
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: and all this pain that I had suppressed for so
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: many years. And I think that's what we do as
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: black men, you know, we suppressed those the anger and
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: all that depression and all that pain, and I had
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: to let it go. When I finally was able to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: let it go, I always called that like my surgery.
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: And when I had the surgery, of course, you know
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: how it is that I got to be real abilitation
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: after the surgery, and that was when my therapy came in.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: So I realized that, you know, for forty seven years,
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I was a boy acting like a man, and it
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: wasn't until I actually wrote this book that I stepped
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: into my manhood. And now I'm still kind of continuing
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: that journey. Yeah, it's interesting when you put everything together
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: all at once because obviously, you know, as long as
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: you've been on this earth, we're reading this book, and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: then we're going through all these experiences that you went through.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: You know, you're joined the military, which that was something
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: about you. I didn't even know, you know, prior to
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: meeting you, and that's quite an experience already. And then
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: you got married at a pretty young age, just and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: it was kind of for selfish reasons, right, Yeah, everything
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: was for selfish reasons for me growing up, you know,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: like I didn't know I didn't have any male role
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: models in my life. I didn't know how I lived
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: my life. I just had to kind of go day
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: by day seeing other people doing what they were doing,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and I figured out they could do it, I could
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: do it somebody at my age whatnot. And then getting
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: married at an early age because I saw one of
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: my best friends in the military who was married with
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: a kid and he was making more money. So all
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the other stuff that I went through, it was because
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I saw other people doing or whatnot, and I didn't
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: have the right people in my life. Page basically kind
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: of guide me along the way, giving me that guidance
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that I need. And that's why I wanted to put
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: this out there, because if you can find yourself a
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: positive male role model or just a positive role model period,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: somebody that can take you under their wings would not
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: give you the direction to give you some of the
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: advice that I never received when I was younger. I
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: hope that you can understand and look at my life
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: and say, you know what he made some of the
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: mistakes that I'm still making right now, and I can
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: go and get the health and the therapy of Charlemagne
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: we was talking about that I need, so that you
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: can turn your life around at an earlier age and
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: stop affecting your life, because when you affect your life,
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: you also affect the others around you too. And that's
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: what people don't realize, is that you're not only hurting yourself,
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: but you're hurting a lot of the other trips that
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: are living. Yep, a contract and your stepdad was a
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: contract to kill them. Yeah, yeah, I found How did
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you find that out? Yeah? I found that out when
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: I came back from the military. I was just saying
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: it out with him. I knew we had done some
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: things in the past whatnot. Obviously when I was in
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: the middle of here, there was a story I wrote
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: about when I got a call when I was in
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: the Philippines and he got he had killed somebody and
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: they came and raided at the house. Whatever. I'maware around
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: the world, I can't do anything about it whatnot. He
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: got off on that because of self defense, so they say,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: but everybody kind of know what the real story was,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you. And then when I got home,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: he was kind of at his lower's point, and my
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: mom had left him, and I'm sitting on the porch
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: and I'm basically trying to save this man, and I'm
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: talking to him and he's telling me all the things
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: that he had done, and he just basically kind of
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: infested and then followed up talking to a lot of
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: his friends whatever. I found out all that type of
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: stuff was true. But you know, even my dad, my stepdad,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want to kind of come down on him
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: or whatever. He was a loving man, cared about me.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: He took me. I got his last name because he
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: adopted me when I was fifteen years old, and he
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: loved me. He just had issues. So this is the
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: main things I want to get people to understand about
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: this book is that we as black men need help
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: and we can't be afraid to ask for that help.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's okay to the emotion when so kay
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: To cries, It's okay to say, you know what, my
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: life right now ain't it ain't. It ain't going to
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: where it's supposed to go. So I need somebody to
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: reach out to and understand, and somebody to reach back
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: to me to give me the help that I needed.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: So I wish that my father would have gotten the
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: help that he needed at an earlier age. Somebody would
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: have pulled him in and basically told him, you know what,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: the path you're going down right now isn't gonna lead
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: you anywhere. It's gonna lead you to devastation, destruction. You're
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: gonna hurt a lot of people around you, just like
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: he did. And maybe he would have worked out okay,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: but unfortunately it didn't because he spent the last nine
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: years of his life in prison for murder for hire.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: And you'll see why. And it was a terrible story
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: why he did that too as well. All right, we
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: got more with Mike Hill when we come back, don't move.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: It's to Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody is DJ
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Envy Angela yee. Charlomagne, the guy we all to Breakfast Club.
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: We're kicking him with Mike kill. Charlemagne, did you receive
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: any backlash from anybody when you decided to go to therapy?
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: Because you know, every if you if you go on
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: YouTube right now, you see it's all Charlomagne talks about
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: his mental health and going to therapy. Every thing isn't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: about therapy. You know, I don't give, I don't care,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I mean, it's my life, you know, And
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: y'all understand ch'arallo man I got I got to be
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: honest with you. Reading your book actually helped me out
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: a lot too, because when I see you use your
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: platform and basically admit that you had some mental health
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: issues or whatnot, and that you aren't afraid to go
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and get the help that you needed, that was huge
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: to use your platform that way. And I encourage anybody
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: with a platform, don't care if you got ten followers,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: you got ten million followers. If you know you need
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: some kind of health in any kind of way, please
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: ask for so the people that do come out and
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: basically say, you know, oh you emotional when you're crying,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: you you know, calling your little names what I want
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: to call you, whatever, I don't care. I'm at a
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: point in my life where my mind, my life, and
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: the people around me matter more than anything in the world.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: So if you don't want to get the help that
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: you need and you want to kind of dog me
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: out for it, I pray for you, and I pray
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that you get the help, because I think when you
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: do do things like that, when you troll or you
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: trying to throw some kind of hate or disparaging remarks,
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: that somebody that's trying to get mental health. Those are
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: the main ones that actually needed. So are here to
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: help you out. I'm here to make you a better person.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: So all I can do is use my platform and
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: use whatever NOTORID y'all have to basically set myself as
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: an example and hopefully somebody can follow suit. Now, Mike,
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: I got to ask you a couple of questions because
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: you were very transparent about some things in this book. Okay, So,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: and I know that wasn't easy because there's some stories
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: that you told that I'm like, wow, so there's something
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: in here that you said because you said when somebody
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: asked you doing a Q and A, maybe you'll answer
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: that question. So let's ask you that question right now.
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: There was an incident with your ex wife, Camille, where
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: you stayed out all night. She was trying to call you,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: and you told her you were in the hospital. You
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: know how men lie, Either they're in the hospital or
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: they got arrested. That's how they excuse things. And she
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: couldn't reach you. You actually because you told her that
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: you actually checked into the hospital and intended to have
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: an asthma attack. And then you fax there's some proof
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: over but you had to change the time and everything
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: that you checked in. Now you said, I bet you
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: want to know where I really was. Maybe I'll answer
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: this as part of a Q and A after the
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: book comes out, if someone brings it up, but we're
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: bringing it up here. Where were you that night when
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: you told your ex that you were in the hospital. Yeah,
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: he's supposed to be my girl. Man, I've been loving
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: That's okay, I get it. I'm glad you read that part.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: You know. And this was before we were actually married,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: So I was actually still technically single, but you know, um, yeah,
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: but in a relationship. Oh yeah, I was across the
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: street hanging out with somebody I shouldn't have been hanging
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: out with whatnot. And when I got back home, my
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: phone was ringing off the hook. My ex was like
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: a detective. She was one of those women like if
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: you were missing for like five minutes, she was gonna
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: call you or whatever. And when I got back home,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: I had like twelve missed calls and thirteen messages. To
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, so I was, Yeah, I
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: was doing dirt. I was doing a lot. But because
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I liked her enough and we had gotten that deep
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: into the relationship. I went to the extent of acting
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like I was thick, which once again I am not
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: proud of acting like acting like I was in the hospital,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: like I had just gone to the hospital or whatever,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and that I had to go to the emergency room.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: And she said, prove it, so you had to go.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: It's how you know you really care? That is that
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: effective when a woman is on you like that, when
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: you know that you had a tendency you know previously
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to stray right? Does that work when women are constantly
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: on you? And like, havn't you check in? You think
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: that's an effective way? Nah? It not for me. It
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: because the person i'm were right now and like I've
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: gotten past all that stuff that I used to do
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: them my life. That's Cynthia. Yes, Cynthia and I finally
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: settled down, and I'm I want to do it the
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: right way. Like I said, I stepped into my manhood.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: But for me, when I want to do right and
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: when I've told you about my pasts, like obviously everybody
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: knows about my past, and I just want you to
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: give me an opportunity. I don't need you on top
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: of me all the time, you know, basically, telling me,
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: you know, or asking where I am whatnot, checking my DMS,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: checking my phone and things like that. I think for me,
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: for my personality, I think that pushes me away. I
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: can understand why somebody would do it. But if you
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: say you trust me, trust me, you know what I mean,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: give me an opportunity to prove that I'm doing something wrong.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Now if you give you a reason for you not
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: to trust me, then I understand being on probation or
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: being checked up on. But you know, I need a wife.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: I need somebody that's gonna be with me. I don't
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: need a CEO. I don't need I don't need a
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: correction officer. I don't need that, you know so. And
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: I definitely don't need a parole officer because you know what,
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I've never gone to your prison, you know what I mean.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: So I'm coming out. I'm not on probation for you.
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to being in a relationship. Just trust me
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: like you said you are. I'm not gonna lie. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: think I kind of need to see you just a
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: little bit, you know what I'm saying. Little, I don't
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: need a little bit of direction, that's all. That's it.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: Nothing crazy. Well, if you know that, I mean, but
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: it is. If you know that, that's that's cool. You know,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I understanding. You know, if you got a woman that's
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: you know, doesn't mind checking up on you and your
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: mind showing her where you've been, that's fine. But here's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the thing. What I've learned also is that it is
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: also our job to make sure that they are secure.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: So if I don't want to feel like that, Bob
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: or ten minutes or whatnot, I am the type of
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: person that you know what, let me get on the phone.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: If I'm hanging out with there's a woman with me,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna FaceTime my girl and let her know who
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: I'm hanging out with, how many people I'm hanging out with,
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: and I don't leave out details. That's the growth that
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I've had over the years. Now. Like that said, I
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: was doing my dirt back in the day, the infidelities
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: or whatever. I admit all that. You know, that's just
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: you know, me drawing up. But at the same time,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: I'll come a long way and now I want to
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: make my girl secure as possible. Yeah, we don't want
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: to feel we don't want to feel that way. We
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: don't want to feel like I gotta chat, make sure
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: he checks in. Where is he. I don't want to
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: call my man and be like, Okay, he's not answering
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the phone. He must be doing something. I want to
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: call him. And if he doesn't answer, but hey, hit
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: me when you get this and feel comfortable. Yeah. But
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: at the same time, if I'm at work, or if
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: I tell you I'm on an interview and I don't
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: answer the phone right away because I'm on the air,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: I'm doing television, I'm doing a radio show, and you
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: kind of know that, and you're blowing me up, and
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: you blow me up five or six times, and I
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: finally answering the first thing. You say, what f you've been? What?
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: You know? React tota way because you know what, I'm
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: doing my job. I'm not doing somebody else. So you
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: got to give me a little bit of leeway. That's all,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: you know. Men, we don't even know our habits. Man.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: I remember back in the day when I used to
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: be used to have my in the dirt. My wife
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: would always say to me, when I know you're when
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: I know you're messing around with a woman? Is women
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: that I don't know, meaning like like all a lot
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: of my most of my all my female friends, she knows,
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: so she's never met her. I've never introduced her to
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: introduce her to the person. Yeah yeah, yeah, But see,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: I think that's important. So I got a lot of
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: female friends, the majority of my friends and females. I
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: just always got along better with females that than me.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: That I'm out there, you know, being them down or whatnot,
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: just means that we got a ton of friends with her.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: They look at me like an uncle, they look at
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: me like a big brother. I give them advice a
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: lot of times. But one thing that's for sure. If
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: I got a female friend, my fiance Cynthia has that
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: female friend as well. If I'm hanging out with her,
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: she knows I'm hanging out with it. So once again
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: that pons were part of just making your g feel secure,
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: especially if you have that pass, because you want to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: make sure that you build up that trust whatnot. And
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: a lot of times some people do it, and I'll
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: be honest with you, some people do it because they
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: want to. You know, they might have somebody still doing
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: dirt or whatever. But I'm at a point in my life,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: like I said, I've done all this stuff. Man, I
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: don't don't judge me for the transgressions, look at me
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: for my transformation. I've grown up and I realized all
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: the mistakes I made in the past on lead those
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: in the past because I want to have a black
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: future with somebody I can grow with. I have a
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: don't move. We got more with Mike Kill when we
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning morning. Everybody
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We are
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club. We're kicking it with Mike Kill. Charlomagne,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: your fiance said, you probably never would have proposed and
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: she wouldn't have said yes if you didn't get the
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: help you needed. So so what traumas do you think
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: we're holding you back from being the man you are now? Yeah?
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I was. I didn't trust anybody. I mean, there was
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: something that happened to me, and you read the book.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: There was something that happened to me. I was fifteen
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: years old with a young lady and a lot of
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: people's like man, you held on to that for thirty years, yes,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: told me, and you understand we as men sometime hold
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: on to traumas for a long period of time. And
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: because when you told her you loved her and she
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: didn't say it back, that yeah, tell me that that
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: was it? I mean like she and she well, she
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: did not only did she not say it back, she
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: looked at me like I was freaking crazy, you know
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean? And that else, the first time I
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: told a woman that I loved her and she tells me,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: she looks at me and like, let's go. And then
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: two days later she's with somebody else who happened to
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: actually be a friend of mine or whatnot. And I
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize we had broken up. I felt that
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: her pain and and I didn't want to feel that again.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: So for a long time, I could not trust women,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: and after a while, I couldn't trust myself. So until
• 45:44
  Speaker 1: I started loving myself, I could never fall in love
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: with another woman. I could love somebody. I loved the
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: women that I married before, the mother of my children.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but there's a difference in loving
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: somebody and falling in love. I could never completely fall
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: in love because I couldn't trust them. But more importantly,
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: I couldn't trus myself until I actually wrote this book. Mike,
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry giving away some spoilers also, but I just
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: want to there's a lot to this book, so I
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: just I do want to, you know, give away little
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: bits and pieces, but I think that is important. You know,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: she's fifteen years old, I love you, and she's you
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: know at that age. Was there anybody to tool us?
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Was there people to talk to him during that time
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: when you said I love you and she didn't say
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: it back. Was anybody even saying, let you know what,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: let me because we don't have these conversations. We're just
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: starting to have these conversations now. But was there anybody
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: that you could speak with? You just talked through them?
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: Mike saying, she looked at me like she farted in
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: my mouth. Yeah, she looked at me like, yeah, like
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I farted, like I farted in her mouth. Like that's old.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Charlemaine heard he was. I heard everything. I'm like, how
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: do you mean how you talk over that? Like I
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: didn't hear that. That was the reaction, you know what
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: I mean? So when you imagine the first time you
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: pure in the way I described it, man, I felt
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: like I was in the moment, like Luke. I don't
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: even know who was playing in the background, but it
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: was just like this was like something out of a
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: love story. I'm like, you know of what looking at her.
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: She's beautiful, she's two years old. She's a saying y'am
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: the sophomore and like, I love you. I did it
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: just like that real school right there. I mean that's
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: where I said, I read a real school. And she
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: looked at me like, so I remember that now he
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: ain't or whatever. So, like you said, there was nobody
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: for me to talk to. There was nobody I could
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: go to. My biological father wasn't around my stepfather. I
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: couldn't talk to him about loving anybody because I never
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: saw him love my mom. I never saw them. I
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: never saw love in a household. So I didn't have
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: anybody that was a positive male role model that could
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: actually talk to about that. And if I talk to him,
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: they would say things like emptem holes. Seriously, man, you
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: you ain't supposed to love him anyway. That's exactly what
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: end that I got, Mike. I swear I was about
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: to say that to you. What's interesting about that? And
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: she broke your heart? And when the other options are
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: bitches ain't beholds in tricks, money over holes. When the
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: option is disrespect you adopt that, Yeah, exactly, that's what
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: you see growing up as a kid. It man. And
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: so that's why I once again, I wanted people to
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: see my pain and see the things that I've gone
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: through in my life, a lot of things, like Angela
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: just said, some embarrassing moments that you know, it's hard
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: for me to talk about or whatever at the same time,
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: but I wanted to put that out there because if
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: you can heal from my pain, then then that's my journey.
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: Then that's what I'm supposed to be doing on this earth.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: That's my purpose in life. One more teas I want
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: to give it. I'm not gonna give this theory because
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure everybody reads this book. You're
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: gonna love this, Charlottagne. There was even an incident that
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: you talk about where you got hit on the face
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: or in the head with a penis why Charlemagne gonna
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: love that? That That that happened to you too, Charlemagne, But
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: explain mic ahead. So that's the tease. When I was
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: starting my broadcasting career and I was an intern and
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: we was just say, we was in a tight locker room.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: I was holding the microphone talking to somebody while I
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: was on my knees because the locker room was real tight,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: and when I turned around, let's just say, I turned
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: around and another microphone hit me on my forehead right there,
• 48:59
  Speaker 1: because you know, because the players were so close to
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: each other. And the guy said, well, I'm sorry, excuse me.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: You know me so but you know, yeah, that that
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: that was a really thank you answer. I appreciate you,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: but that was that wasn't want for me to say too,
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: because that was part of my broadcasting career. That was
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: my introduction. I probably was. I was about to quit. You. Hey,
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: you won't be the first person to start a broadcasting
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: career because they got it on their head. So what
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: do you saff He says, I'm sorry, what do you say?
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: All right? Get up? I mean you know this well
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: he was. He was a superstar in the NBA. All
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: I can do is like was was damn at least
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: it was his? All right? Who were talking about? We
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: talking about? He wouldn't say that. I'm pretty sure he en.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of faith has been slapped by
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: that pigs. I'm been saying, a superstar or scribe man?
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Is it a hull of things? He's a Hall of Famer, obviously,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that. Yeah, all of thing. Yeah,
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: But you know, Mike, what you're doing with your book
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: is a great man, because we have to create space
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: for each other to discuss our brokenness and discuss our
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: traumas without being canceled. You know, yes, the person you
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: probably heard people and you know, we got to create
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: these spaces to have these conversations. We have to give
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: each other the grace you want God to give us. Yeah,
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: And I appreciate you guys giving me the platform to
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: be able to talk about that because, like you said,
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: Charlo Man, I appreciate you using your platform to basically
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: get that word out that we can't be ashamed. We
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: gotta stop manning up. If we continue to man up,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: soon or later, it's gonna be manned down. Man, I
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: mean six feet down, because I keep telling people, had
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: I not written this book, I would be dead right now.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Think about this as black people, every single person in
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: this country has had to deal with some kind of trauma.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: We're dealing with trauma right now. Basically, when you're afraid
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: to get in your car get stopped by the police,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: that's trauma. That's paint. Feel free to talk about that
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: type of stuff and not be ashamed of it, because
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: being a man is admitting that you have problems and
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: you need help with those problems. And that's why I'm
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: here for man, That's what I'm gonna trying to do.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep on using my platform for that regard.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: Another takeaway from this book is a lot of people
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: see you as a successful Mike Hill now, but they
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: don't know how long it took for you to get there,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: and all the trials and tribulations that you had to have,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: even getting fired, having to dumb yourself down to be
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: on a network and not show your real personality, feeling betrayal,
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: all of those things at work, and how hard it
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: is to just keep going when things aren't working out.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: And I think that's a really huge valuable takeaway for people.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: It's not an overnight thing. Yeah, I appreciate you saying that,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: because part of the book is about my professional growth
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: and my development and things like you said that I
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: had to go through and having to basically I lost myself,
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, to get a dream job at ESPN and
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: then basically be told you know at one time that
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I was being too ghetto, you know, and run of
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: the reasons why I wasn't moving up being too ghetto.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: And you know, I was talking about NVY the other
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: day when Ivy came out and he was talking about
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: what somebody at a network basically told him that he
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: wasn't black enough. So I've been that that guy that
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: in a lot of places that I've been. I've been
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: too black for some people. I've been too ghetto so
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: to speak to some people, and I've been too white
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: for other people. I've been corny or whatnot. So I'm
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: kind of in between, and it's kind of hard. So
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: once you realize who you are and you step into
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: who you are and you don't care what other people think,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: it's so liberating. But going through what I went through
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: in my life, being fired, like you said, for whatever reasons,
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: I got fired and you'll see it in the book
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: or whatever, the ups and downs at ESPN, and been
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: losing my personality and losing who I was. Can't look
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: myself in a mirror and realize that I lost who
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Mike kill was. I mean, that was tough and I
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: finally got that back. So you'll see the transgressions and
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: the transformation that I had with my professional career as well.
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: Absolutely appreciate you brother for checking in. Man, we really
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: do it. Definitely showing the bookie, Michael. We'll be doing
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: Angela Gue's book Club, the Well Read book Club, so
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you for that. We'll be announcing that date shortly.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: I got one more question though, because I know you've
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: been doing the work on yourself, so your ego isn't
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: as fragile as it used to be. But when you
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: saw the headline a couple of weeks ago that your
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: fiance says she's been having horrible quarantine sex with you,
• 53:19
  Speaker 1: how did that? How did that? How did that hit
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: for you? You know it didn't. It didn't affect you
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: whatsoever because I know what I'm doing in the bedroom
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: for us, so I know I know I'm putting it down. Dog.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, hey, bro, the reviews the okay, to
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, so late. You know how
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: clickbait is it if you're read. Yeah, that's not what
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: she was saying. He was talking. She was talking about
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: more the circumstance, the environment. R Yeah, because our kids
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: were in the house, so man, she couldn't you know
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: she couldn't get a scream on man, my girl, like
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, you come a long way from
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: from the beginning of this book when you were hunting
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: and releasing just from that, so grat's on that great?
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, thank you for joining us. Just Mike
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: killed us the Breakfast Club in the morning. So Breakfast Club,
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: your morning's will never be the same morning. Everybody is
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagne, guy, we all the Breakfast Club.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Let's get to the rumors. Let's talk Mariah carry listen,
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: oh Gosh reports Breakfast Club. Well, Mariah did a sit
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: down with Oprah and this is all about her new book.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: She did an interview for the Oprah Conversation and she
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: talked about some of the stories that she is sharing
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: in her memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey, that is
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: coming out on September twenty ninth. It's a lot going
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: on September twenty ninth. By the way, that's the first
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: debates between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. It's awesome my
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: brother's birthday. And she discussed as many things, including growing
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: up by racial and what that experience was like. It
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: wasn't that I didn't like my hair when it was behaving,
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: but as I grew up a little bit, it went
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: from baby hair to like matted, unruly hair that nobody
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: was combing through or understanding that you can't have a
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: little girl running around with matt in her head. Feel
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: like I was hated on by certain people in my
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: family for having the lighter hair, and but then if
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: they only realized, like, no, actually, I have like matted
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: hair which is frizzy and curly, and like it could
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: look good if we had some conditioner. So your mother,
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: did you know what to do with it? And many
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: times she just let it go. She also discusses dating
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: Derk Jeter and how that helped her get over her
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: relationship and get out of her relationship with Tammy Motola.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: He was a catalyst that helped me get out of
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: that relationship, and I think that it was beautiful and
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: his family was a healthy family, and they changed my
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: viewpoint that, oh, it's because of the biracial situation that
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: my family so screwed up, as opposed to it's them,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: you know. And yes, those things did play a huge
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: part in their dysfunction, but it was healthy for me
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: to see a functional family that basically kind of looked
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: like mine but didn't feel like mine. And then she
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: talked about her twins, the kids, and how they help her.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: They helped to heal me every day, every time we
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: have a moment that feels real and authentic and genuine,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: and it's them loving me unconditionally. The only other time
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: my fably got it, got it. You know, I am
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: actually interested in reading Mariah Carry's book. I really am. Yeah,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: ever since the time Mariah Carry came into the Breakfast
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Club studios and she was in full diva mode and
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: she had her own lighting team and she made us
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: turn our lights down and set hers up. And when
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: we said to her, well, you're not going to be
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: able to see us, she said, that's the point, darling.
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: I've always liked her. I like people who are unapologetically themselves,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: even if themselves is a total diva. Now it isn't
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: DJs one. Mariah is DJ also. Yes, he just such
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: one belongs to Windy Williams. And now you must not
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: know how this works. See, okay, how does this work?
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Wendy has a leash around sus one, all right, okay,
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: until that leash is off, he belongs to Wendy. That's
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: how this works. Suss Will realized that what he tries,
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: he's getting all the money. All right, Well better he
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: better hope Maria and Wendy have a good relationship. Because
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Maria don't come to Wendy's show to promote that book.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: Wendy will be quick to say, f Mariah and sus
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: you better not go on the road with her. Wow,
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: So is that how it works? Is that how you
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: sat on her lap? She has a leash on you.
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: And that's right. You see that little talk, sit down,
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: come down, sit down, tame puppet all right now. John
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: Legend says that he and Chrissy t can go to therapy,
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and he also said that therapy and communication are some
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: of the factors that has helped their marriage. Last he said,
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: it sounds obvious, but being with someone you really care about,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: respect and enjoy being around. I think that's the crucial
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: foundation than communicating, being concern are listening to your partner
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: and making sure their needs are met. And we go
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: to therapy sometimes. I think every couple who's been together
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: for a long time could use time to talk with
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: the third party to help with whatever concerns they have
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: and this was with Cosmopolitan UK. I agree with you.
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: I'll go to therapy with your other half. I've been
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: in therapy before. I've been before a long time ago.
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: But we still this people that we speak with when
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: we have conversations or is this a disagreement, but nah,
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: I mean we have a you know, you know what
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: helps us a lot, not be honest, taping the podcast
• 58:30
  Speaker 1: with each other. Yep. That podcast does everything because every
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: week we talk about what's going on in all relationship
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: or things that happen, and we just sit down and
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: talk to each other. There's no arguments, it's just discussion
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: and communication. So that podcast helps a lot. I love it.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: I do want to add a couple of therapy to
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: the repertoire. I mean I've been before, and you know
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I go individually every week, but yeah, I think a
• 58:50
  Speaker 1: couple of therapy is great. Felicia Rashad has joined social media.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: She put up a video and told her fans that
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: she's there. I told my sister Debbie, there are so
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: many Twitter, Facebook, Instagram accounts with my name already on it.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Why should I do this? She said, yeah, this, but

• 59:13
  Speaker 1: me talking to the real you, and I'm looking forward
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: to posting about things that matter. Was the video upside down?

• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: twenty fourth goes to the Jefferson County Grand Jury and
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: Attorney Daniel Cameron in Kentucky. Whoever else was responsible for
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: making sure for ensuring that justice was not served in
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: the shooting death of Brianna Taylor. Is Donkey is for
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: you too, if you haven't heard a Jefferson County grand
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: jury wednesday and died in One of the officers, Brett Hankinson,
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: on three counts of first degree wanton endangerment because jurist
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: said several bullets he fired inside Taylor's apartment. In March thirteenth,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: went into a neighboring apartment where a pregnant woman, a man,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: and a child were home, but neither him nor Sergeant
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Jonathan matten Lee our detective Miles cost Growth were charged
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: with killing Brianna Taylor, an unarmed black woman. Look, I
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: wasn't expecting any type of justice. This is America, Okay.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: When justice is served, I'm shocked, pleasantly, surprised, joyful even
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: which is why because we should never celebrate people for
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: doing what they're supposed to do. But when justice isn't served,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know what I am. Each case is different,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: each case feels different. I was talking to my dear
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: sister Angela Ry last night and I told her I
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: just feel bad, Okay, I feel humanly helpless because at
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, as a black man in America.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: I just want to win, that's all we want, you know.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: And winning to me isn't being the richest, it's not
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: being the most successful. Winning to me is just being free.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? I don't know. Winning to me
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: is just simply receiving liberty, equality, and justice. You know,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: those democratic values they tell us about. Those three words
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: is supposed to represent basic values of democratic political systems.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: At the bare minimum, a human in this country should
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: be able to get liberty, equal quality, and justice. But
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: we know that's not the case when you're black. All right.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: Democratic values are supposed to support the belief that an
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: orderly society can exist in which freedom is preserved. But
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: order and freedom must be balanced. Right, So when you
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: see all this civil unrest in the street right now,
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 1: after verdicts like Brianna Taylor happened, and people are acting
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: out of order, it's because there's no balance, all right.
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: Order and freedom must be balanced. There will never be
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: ordered when a people are not free. And it's hard
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: to feel truly free when you don't feel protected, when
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: you know, at any moment in this country your human
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: rights can be violated. So we keep talking about our
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: civil rights being violated. Let me tell y'all something. In
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: order for one to respect our civil rights, they have
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: to respect our human rights, which is my right to
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: simply live. Okay, what does this country say? What does
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: this country say? I think it's my right to life
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: and liberty that bs. This country says everyone is entitled
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: to these rights without discrimination. Where That's why I don't
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: feel that way. I'm a black man. If it wasn't
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: for my faith in a higher power in my right
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: to bear arms, I would never feel safe in this country.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: And that's what I mean when I say I want
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: black people to win. A win to me, is us
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: as black people feeling protected. Okay, hard to feel like
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: that when you live in the United States of anxiety. Okay.
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 1: I want black people to feel like we matter. I
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: want us to be able to deal with our generational
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: traumas in heal. But we are not ever able to
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: do that because we keep getting retraumatized over and over
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: in this country. This country will always remind us that
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: black lives simply don't matter. I got a beautiful black wife,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: three beautiful black daughters. I am a black man. I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 1: just you know, think about it today we matter about
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: Brianna Taylor. We're still mad about George Floyd. You got
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 1: Ahmad Aubrey, but all those names are interchangeable with Sandra Blain,
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: Walter Scott, Treyvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Natasha mckenne, Philando cast
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: still could be you like, it's just too much. And
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know, November look I play
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: into but police politicians, don't politicize black pain that scared
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: me in the voting because these injustices happen under Democrats too.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter what party is in power, because once again,
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: this isn't about civil rights, it's about human rights, and
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: white people in this country have always looked at black
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: folks as subhuman. So does it matter who's in office
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: locally nationally when we've been watching police and damn there
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: everyone else get away with these types of injustice towards
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: black people forever. Once again, I'm voting, but don't politicize
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: black pain that scared me to vote. Don't tell me
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: how the justice system needs to be reformed. No, no, no,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: because that system was never designed to provide equal justice
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: across the board. Okay, when they say justice for all,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: they were not talking about black folks. Bernie Sanders hit
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: it on the head yesterday when he said in a tweet,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: Rihanna Taylor's life mattered. This result is a disgrace and
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: an abdication of justice. Our criminal justice system is racing. Okay,
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: the time for fundamental changes now. Keywords and that our
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: criminal justice system is racist. There is no reforming or
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: racist system. Okay, you got to overhaul the whole thing
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: from top to bottom. Throw it out. The criminal justice
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: system in America is defective. Product, take it off the
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: assembly line. Let's build something new because this is not working.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: I don't have the answers, Okay, I'm just telling you
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: how I feel. I hate when I hear politicians get
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: asked about these situations and the first thing they say
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: is make sure you protest peacefully. We don't need any violence.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: How about tell that to the cops, tell them the
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: police peacefully, Tell them we don't need any more violence.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: Help show improve through actions and deeds, and hold them
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: accountable when situations like Brianna Taylor happened, and maybe they
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: will slow down on violence. What are the consequences to
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: their actions. They don't lose their pensions, they don't go
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: to prison. What will ensure that situations like Brianna Taylor,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: George Floyd and insert black name here don't happen again?
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: All right? These politicians have it more smoke for protesters
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: than they do the police. You have more smoke for
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 1: the people in pain than the people causing the pain.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: These politicians love acknowledging the effect, but not the cause.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 1: Is sickness, man, he really is. And I don't know
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: what to do. I don't know what to say. I
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: have faith in God, Okay. I go to therapy to
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: avoid going crazy. And I think every black person in
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: America should own a legal firearm and you should know
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: how to use it. That's all I got, Black people,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: That's all I got. If y'all got some great ideas,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: I'm all ears. But at this moment, today, right now,
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: I got nothing, just like Brianna Taylor's family got nothing
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: in regards to justice. And if there's no justice, there's
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: no peace in the streets. Okay. And that's the way
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: karma works in America, Almighty America. No one and I
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: mean no one can escape the law karma. Please let
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: remy Ma give the Jefferson County Grand Jury an attorney
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 1: Daniel Cameron, the biggest he haw he haw, he haw.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 1: You stupid mother? Are you dumb? All right? I'm well,
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: thank you for that, donkey, or today I wish I
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: didn't have to do it. Now when we come back,
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: let's open up the phone lines. Eight hundred five eight
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: five one oh five one. What you want to Usually yeah,
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 1: he does ask you here, right, yeah, this is normally
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: where I would do ask you. But today I want
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: the women to call after Brianna Taylor's family still has
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: not gotten justice. They have not gotten justice for Brianna Taylor.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: I want to hear what your thoughts are as women,
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: as black women here in the United States. Please call
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: up and let's just vent and get it off I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: guess get it off our chest. Today we want to
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: hear from you. All right, eight hundred five eight five
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: one oh five one, call us now, women, it's the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne the guy. We all the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. Now usually we do ask eye here whatever
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: and that's going on. We just want to open up
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: the phone lines and speak to everybody, speak to definitely
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: you women, you mothers, you sisters, you man. We want
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: to speak to black women in particular because black women's
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 1: experience has been really different in this country and around
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: the world when it comes to police brutality, when it
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: comes to feminism, when it comes to our rights, when
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: it comes to being respected, and it's a continuing issue
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: and we see this right now with Brianna Taylor and
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: no justice for her family. She was killed by police
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: officers and there were no charges based off of her
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: getting killed. So we want to talk to black women
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: and talk about how you feel. As you know, the
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: most famous quote, the most disrespected person in America is
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: the black woman. The most neglected person in America is
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the black woman. And you can see that when it
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 1: comes to finance is what women get paid. Women get
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: make eighty two cents for every dollar that a white
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: man makes, but black women may sixty two cents still
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 1: in the United States for every dollar that a white
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 1: man makes. So we're always still at the bottom of everything.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: And I want to get people. I want to get
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: black women to call and talk about how you're feeling
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: this morning. Black women also face police brutality, sexual assault
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 1: at a higher rate than white women. So I just
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 1: want to get your your thoughts this morning. Hello, who's
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: this Hello? My name is Kia from Jersey. I just
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: want to know where is face to be a black
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: female in this country because from a young age where
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 1: it's hard. You know, you're not safe around your family,
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: You're not safe in your neighborhood. Growing up, you know
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: you gotta be safe, Like it's one way, be safe, safe, safe,
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: But where's that police? Because now we're at a point
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 1: where you can't even be too sleep in bed. That
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 1: is scary, Like I'm feel afraid for black men, like
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: the police and everything I so annoying, But it's us too.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 1: Where's that place? Where's that place of safety? It's not happening,
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: it's non existing. And I replied, it's disgusting that the
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 1: outcome of this piece. It's disgusting. It's disgusting, and I
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 1: just want to know how long it's gonna lie. And
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 1: you know, black women show up for everybody else too,
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: everybody we don't we get talked about. But where is
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: a place of safety for a black female? And I'm
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 1: not anywhere? Yeah, Um, I agree with everything that that
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 1: everybody is saying, But I think we're all in the
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 1: same boat it comes to racism in America. You know,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: it's a system that's against black people. It was never
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 1: designed for black people. And we are all in this together,
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: and that's what I think we all need to understand.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: You know that there was a black man in that
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: house with her who actually defended her and his residence,
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: and I'm shocked that he's alive. And that's the situation
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: that as a black man, I pray I'm never in
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: NV I know, you pray you're never in it, you
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, we never, even though we
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 1: will defend our families, we don't ever want to be
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: in that situation. You know. Let's go to another We
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: do want to talk about black women in particular. This morning.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: They have a whole organization called Say Her Name that
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: started because there's so many black women that were killed
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 1: by police officers and people don't talk about it as much. Well,
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: let's go to another cola. Hello, who's this. My name

• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: I'm a professional. I grew up, you know, in hard times.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 1: I've overcome a lot. But I just feel like as
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: being a professional, as being a mother, I always have
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: to I always have to have that guard up. I
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 1: always have to go the extra mouth. It's exhausting. And
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 1: then just to just to come to be the revelation
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: that it's just not enough, It's just not enough. My
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 1: heart goes out to Brianna Taylor's family just, you know,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: just the thought that your child's life does not matter
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: in a country that you help built. Right, Well, thank
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: you for calling, Mamma. Eight hundred five eight five one

• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: Now it's the Breakfast Club, Goal Morning Morning. Everybody is
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlomagnicay. We are the Breakfast Usually
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: this is where we do ask ye, but today we're
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: doing things a little different, right, Yes, today we have
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: black women We want you to call in and just
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: tell us your thoughts. You know, we talk about black
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: women being neglected, being disrespected in this country, even financially.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: The Crown Act just recently is about to go to
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 1: the Senate now, and even our hair being and I
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: know it might be something that some people might think
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: of as small, but being discriminated again because of how
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 1: your hair is warned so much that we had to
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 1: pass a Crown Act or work on getting something like
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 1: that passed. Um. So it's just so many different things. Um.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: More than eighty percent of black women are heads of
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: their household too in the United States, and I wanted
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: to point that out as well. So the fact that
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: we make sixty two cents on the dollar in comparison
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 1: to white men but still have to be the heads
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: of households, Imagine what that does for an entire family.
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 1: So we want to get your thoughts on what's going
• 1:14:25

• 1:14:42
  Speaker 1: the energy. You know, it's kind of still I'm definitely
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: like hurt. Like I was playing before Heath and came
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 1: out and said it because it's kind of like, you know,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 1: everybody pretty much knew, you know, once they took the settlement.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: But um, you know they're still protesting. They you know,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: of course they want them charged, but you know, it's
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 1: just it's very sad. And I just wanted to also
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 1: say that I do agree with Lebron James tweaked because
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: it is hard for a black woman. It's like we
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: have to go out in the world and fight the
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: world and you know, try to make it and be successful.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 1: You gotta so called fake you to you make it,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 1: and then you come in at home. You gotta have
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: peace in your home. Makes you got peace at home.
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: So you know, it's just really hard and if we
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: just stick together, you know. But um, right now, like
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I said, they're everything's like kind of people. We gotta
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: nine o'clock curfew for the next couple of days. Um,
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: And I mean that's pretty much it at the moment.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 1: I can say that. So day Yep, it's pretty fat. Yes,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: it is all right. Well, thank you mama. How let
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: us go to another line. Hello, who's this Hi? This
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 1: is India, India, good morning, talk to us now this morning.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: It's emotionally dreaming. I found myself to my daughter, good morning.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: Did you just you You never know what a hole
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 1: it is going to fool you over that day? Um,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: our life is let's have in a life. I guess um.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: I mean granted being for the safety of the family.
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 1: You know that was behind the will. But at the
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 1: end of the day, I knew what was going to happen. Um.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: I have a family member who you know, she kind
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: of sort of works within the um ga here um
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: in North Carolina, and you know, we talk about it
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: every day. I have a friend who's been the healthcare field,
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: so she deals with ancients with mental health, and you know,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 1: we were into trying to talk about it every day.
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 1: I'm low key in education, so it's like, as a
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 1: black woman, like what what more can we do? This?
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 1: This is really drained. It's just really drenking. We just
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: need them. And I have my way to work now,
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 1: I work with kids. I meant to out here. I'm
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 1: on my way to work. Now I have to get
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 1: ready to put the smile on my face for parents.
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 1: But I am trying imagine, imagine what Angelie said just now.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker 1: It's very important. It is about support. And I just
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: don't want black women to feel like they're alone, because
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 1: that could Brianna Taylor. That could be our wife, our daughter,
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 1: or still mother. Things like this, Yep, when things like
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: this happened to Brianna Taylor and impacts us all there
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 1: is no Black women have it worse when it comes
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: to racism. Black men have it worse when it comes
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: to racism. We have a whole system against us, a
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: whole system oppressing us, a whole system that isn't providing
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: justice for any of us. So I don't want systems
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: to feel like they're alone. Because for every Brianna Taylor,
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: thats a George Floyd, for every Sandra bland As, a
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 1: Filando cast deal, for every Natasha mckinned as the Tamir Rice.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 1: So yes, I want this is defense, get it off
• 1:17:37
  Speaker 1: their chest. But I need everyone to know black people
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 1: we are in this together. The system is against us,
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: and while y'are fighting, we as black men are here
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 1: to defend y'all, because I'm gonna die by mind. And
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think America understands the position they are putting
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: us in as black people. I really don't think they
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: get it, all right. And I want to recommend a
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: book that I just started reading. It's called Invisible No
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: More Please. Violence against Black Women and Women of Color
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: is by Andrew or Richie, So just to get some
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: more insight into the history of what's going on in
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 1: our country. And yeah, that's just the support that we
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 1: need for people to pay attention when it's black women. Also,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: all right, we got rooms on the way. What we're
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: talking about, Yes, and let's talk about Kanye West. You know,
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: he's been calling out these labels and he got called
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 1: out as well. So here's what he said he's about
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: to do for good music artists. All right, we'll get
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: into that next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. This is the Ruble Report with Angela, Yes Breast.
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 1: So Kanye West has promised to return his fifty percent
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 1: share of all good music Artists masters, and he actually
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: challenged Universal to do the same. He said, I'm giving
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: all good music artists back the fifty percent share. I
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: have of their masters. Now, let's have Universal match me.
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: If Kanye doesn't fall through with that, then we know
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: he's full of it because he didn't tell people that
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: he owned the masters to his good music artists when
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: he initially went on his rant. So all good music
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: artists need to save that tweet. Not sure, it's not
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 1: sure it's good in the court of law, but save
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: it anyway. Well, he's been talking so crazy, he has
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 1: to stay on staying on his word right now. Big
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 1: Sear responded, Big Searan responded, thank you, This would help
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 1: so much, and Designer said thanks, and he put the
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 1: one hundred emoji. I hate knowing what I know, but
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: I wish Kanye West would tell people the whole truth.
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 1: Like he's not telling folks that he renegotiated with def
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 1: Jam Universal four times and chose the money over his
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 1: masters every time. He's also not telling people that he
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 1: owns the masters the Jesus and every album after that
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 1: he's talking about slavery is a choice. No, signing those
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 1: record contracts he signed is a choice. That was really it.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: He also tweeted out, I'm not releasing nothing on Gap
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: till I'm on the board, and he said, I'm wearing
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: Jordan's till I'm on the board of Adidas. I was
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 1: confused with that. You have your own sneakers. It's not
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 1: like you have a part now. You have your own sneaker.
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 1: You're not an in door serve Adidas. You have your
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 1: own Adidas, and you want to wear Jordan maybe just
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 1: like George Better. I don't know, or at least he's
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: wearing another black man sneak. And I just want the
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 1: record to show that I sit on the board of
• 1:20:13
  Speaker 1: the Black Effect podcast network and network, and I am
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 1: a majority owner of with iHeartRadio. But you know, those
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: type of things have to be negotiated beforehand. But what
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: do I know? All right now, Ed Sharon, As you know,
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: it is being sued and that is for using Marvin
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 1: Gays Let's get it on for his twenty fourteen song
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Thinking out Loud using the harmony, melody and rhythmic components.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 1: So I want to play both songs and I want
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: to hear if you think that this is official. So honey,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: nah take man timing off of the F stop sounds
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: very similar. Oh, I can definitely hear some some what
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 1: do you call it an interpolation? That you could definitely
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 1: have some Marvin Gaye is shit in it. So so
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 1: what are they doing on this norm Well, at Sharon's
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: at Sharon is responding to the lawsuit, and he responded
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: when it first was filed. He said that the core
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: progressions and drum patterns were extremely commonplace in the public
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 1: domain and unprotectable. All right, Well, the song Let's Get
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: It On was actually co written by Ted Towns, and
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 1: so it's the Towns in the state that is seeking
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 1: songwriting credit and they want a portion of the revenue
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: from the song. Now, Townsend family did file this lawsuit
• 1:21:36
  Speaker 1: against Sharon back in twenty sixteen, and a couple of
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 1: days ago, Ed Townsend's daughter, Catherine Townsend just spoke out
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 1: about this, and she said, theft and bullying has been
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: the only priority of the record label's agenda. It stopped today,
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: Sony Atlantic and all the rest of them. We're coming
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: for our forty acres in the mule plus an interest
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 1: and know that we're not going to be silent. It
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: don't stop till my casket dropped. Yeah. Ed is a
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 1: great guy. He's not a vulture, he's not a thief.
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm sure Ed would rectify that situation if if
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 1: there is indeed a problem, all right now, Academics says
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 1: he had a conversation with Quavo and Offset, and that's
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: after he was saying that the megos fell off. And
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: here's what he had to say about their conversation. I
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 1: spoke to off Set your suit to my man off Set,
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna lie yo. I want to really
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 1: give him credit for being mad or reasonable and understanding
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: and saying, hey, yo, listen. I listened to the segment
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: and I felt you were saying something that we needed
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: to hear. He literally said, I want you to expound
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: on those things. And we had like about thirty minute
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: conversation where for the most part he was listening. He
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: was like yeah. He asked me what feels different, what
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: looks different? Why? Why do you think this is happening?
• 1:22:45
  Speaker 1: And for him, it was about gaining information, all right,
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: y'all nothing to worry about there, y'all putting too much
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 1: pressure on artists. Man Mego's been around for damn near
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: a decade. They have changed hip hop, you know, like
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: like you're not gonna be that red hot artist every year.
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: You can only hope to be consistent. And I would
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: think the Megals were consistent. They they put out solo
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: albums last year. Could just have like a clout with
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: Cardi B last year, Like I don't. I don't just
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: say that they fell off. They had. They haven't fell
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: off now, they haven't fell off. And they stayed consistent.
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 1: They stay in the clubs, they stay in their lane,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: they stay on the radio. They all consistent. Plus there's
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: a COVID year. We don't know what artists would have
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: been doing, you know, if they weren't sitting at home.
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, like, I don't, I think y'all
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: putting too much pressure on folks man. All right, And
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: Kodak Black is asking Donald Term for help. He wants
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: him to commute his prison sentence. His attorneys sent a
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: petition to Trump and they're asking to cut Kodak a
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: little bit of a break. And so they said that
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: Kodak was sentence forty six months behind bars in his
• 1:23:48
