• 3:20
  Speaker 12: La tells about the Drake scoring Kendrick Lamark. The only
• 3:25
  Speaker 12: reason Drake is scored and he ain't even tho genders
• 3:27
  Speaker 12: storing the label.
• 3:29
  Speaker 13: Because prior to the beat where a lot of people
• 3:31
  Speaker 13: don't know that he was a negotiation with the labels
• 3:34
  Speaker 13: because the number was good the table.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: He like, hey, shut up man, you learned that off
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: TikTok and YouTube. Drake did a deal Drake?
• 3:43
  Speaker 13: Oh, actually I thought it entertainment news.
• 3:46
  Speaker 11: Entertainment news.
• 3:49
  Speaker 13: Because the shoes, the numbers, and the metrics to lord
• 3:52
  Speaker 13: the deal that was offering for his new contract.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not true. But let me ask you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a question. When when did When is the last time
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Drake did his deal? Since you following tament news when
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the last time he read up.
• 4:03
  Speaker 13: Drakes deal, he read up this deal of twenty nineteen
• 4:06
  Speaker 13: where him and him away and renegotiated after the little
• 4:10
  Speaker 13: to Bato.
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: No, it was twenty twenty two. He got four hundred
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: million dollars no forty million yes with UMG yes yes
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: two two.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Look it up, mister. I do my research, mister, I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. I follow entertainment news.
• 4:27
  Speaker 13: I do follow undertag of news, and I can miss
• 4:30
  Speaker 13: some point sometimes, but for the majority of it. And
• 4:33
  Speaker 13: there to get shoulder narrative where the stories the lawsuit
• 4:36
  Speaker 13: is not about him was stealing him over the falls.
• 4:40
  Speaker 13: He's stowing the label over them, edging the metrics to
• 4:43
  Speaker 13: make it look better for Darren dis.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing, man, nobody has benefited from that system
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: doing that more than Drake. Okay, like that's just a fact.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So so here's the thing. What you know, You know
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: how they say men lie, women lie? Numbers don't. Drake
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is telling you that numbers lie because he's telling you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that this is what the these systems do. You think
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: that system has never done that for him? You think
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Tusy slide was really a number one record, sir.
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Slide. You know what I'm saying, Like, really you
• 5:09

• 5:14
  Speaker 13: talks about he could.
• 5:15
  Speaker 5: Have kept in the vault. Yeah bye man.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But when you got when you got a system behind
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you that can inflate numbers, they can make things number one,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and they did that with Tousy Slide.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: But they they have to do that with not like us.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: I can tell you that much.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Get it off your.

• 5:49
  Speaker 4: Hey, get it off your chest.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Mama.
• 5:51
  Speaker 9: I'm a little nervous, but I really want people to
• 5:57
  Speaker 9: reach out to your friends and family, check on them
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: to make sure that they were okay. It's been almost
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: eight months since I lost my soulmates to suicide. And
• 6:09
  Speaker 9: when he committed suicide, we was on a break but
• 6:12
  Speaker 9: we were still very much in communication with each other.
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: But I knew something was wrong, and my gut told
• 6:21
  Speaker 9: me to go check, but my head said no, don't
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: do it. And had I listened to my gut, I
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: would have known something was wrong and could have been
• 6:32
  Speaker 9: able to help. Also, with women and their children, when
• 6:36
  Speaker 9: you have a man that wants to be in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 9: lives of their kids, you shouldn't use the child as
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: a porn to get back because no one never ever
• 6:49
  Speaker 9: thought that he would commit suicide because of what was
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: happening with his children. So I just want people to

  Speaker 2: Hell, Hell, hell, let's good morning, good morning, good morning.
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: How are you feeling this?
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I'm feeling good.
• 9:16
  Speaker 15: I am I'm really feeling good. It's good to be

  Speaker 15: back back with family. Chopped up, which y'all dropped some dimes,
• 9:21
  Speaker 15: named some names.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, here to get we're dropping dimes on test, dropping.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Dimes on everybody from top to bottom.
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: Let's start right off with the president presidential election. Why
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: did V P. Harris lose?
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: Oh man, I should have rolled my white board that
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: many yeah, that many yeah.
• 9:37
  Speaker 15: And and the reason why it's important, I literally have
• 9:39
  Speaker 15: my stuff in order because a lot of people V said,
• 9:43
  Speaker 15: you know, she lost because of this. Reason she lost
• 9:44
  Speaker 15: because of that. And it's really in the Midwest. The
• 9:47
  Speaker 15: tornado requires water, humidity, when you know multiple things.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: Reason it's not one reason.
• 9:53
  Speaker 15: And when I hear people saying, you know, if he
• 9:56
  Speaker 15: just did better with the messaging, Oh, if they did
• 9:58
  Speaker 15: better with the media. I've really kind of put together
• 10:01
  Speaker 15: a list of flow chart on how basically a colossal stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: From top to bottom. You yeah, we're doing, we're doing
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: to pull out top seat.
• 10:09
  Speaker 15: So if we just really take it from the top,
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: as we all said, Joe Biden should have never ran.
• 10:13
  Speaker 15: We have to first, you know, start there. Should have
• 10:16
  Speaker 15: never ran. He said it was the one time it
• 10:18
  Speaker 15: was gonna be a one term president. We talked about
• 10:19
  Speaker 15: it multiple times. He actually volunteered that life to say, hey,
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: I'm only going to run one term. I'm coming in
• 10:25
  Speaker 15: just to stop Trump immediately. Then they should have started
• 10:29
  Speaker 15: building a base immediately right out the gate. Trump was
• 10:31
  Speaker 15: still campaigning this entire time.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: We talked about it.
• 10:34
  Speaker 15: We talked about how it was constant rallies, constant organizing.
• 10:37
  Speaker 15: You and I talked about it on the Van Jones Show.
• 10:39
  Speaker 15: We're saying, you guys really have to continue the organizing
• 10:42
  Speaker 15: year round. And that's why I blame a lot of
• 10:44
  Speaker 15: the people at the top who have the ear of
• 10:46
  Speaker 15: the you know, of the candidates and campaign consultants because
• 10:48
  Speaker 15: they've been told this multiple multiple times. So we should
• 10:51
  Speaker 15: have found a white man right then and there who
• 10:53
  Speaker 15: was going to be next in line to build a
• 10:55
  Speaker 15: white man white man, absolutely young white man, right then
• 10:58
  Speaker 15: and there. And it's not good to do some by
• 10:59
  Speaker 15: the way, lot of people keep saying that govern Neuson
• 11:01
  Speaker 15: will get swamped.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: So you didn't think Kamala was gonna win you no
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: right at the game?
• 11:05
  Speaker 15: No, no, no, because he's a black woman, or yeah, absolutely,
• 11:07
  Speaker 15: so that's number three. So let's first get that. So
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: they should have establish a bitch saying didn't do that?
• 11:12
  Speaker 15: Governor knew somebody just want to put that out there.
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: A lot of people like him, great debate, and pe
• 11:15
  Speaker 15: would have got swamped. You have to remember he literally
• 11:17
  Speaker 15: passed to be O K through twelve to have shared
• 11:20
  Speaker 15: bathroom to a gender. So imagine what consernatives would have
• 11:24
  Speaker 15: deal with that all over the nation, the homelessness and
• 11:26
  Speaker 15: all of that. So then, yes, number three, America was
• 11:29
  Speaker 15: not going to vote for a woman of color period.
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: And no, in the history of black women and white women,
• 11:35
  Speaker 15: alliship A leeged Allyship, I have never known a white
• 11:38
  Speaker 15: woman to give a job to a woman of color
• 11:41
  Speaker 15: before they got it. That includes even McDonald's on fries
• 11:44
  Speaker 15: just not gonna happen. Have you ever if a white
• 11:45
  Speaker 15: woman ever said, you know what, I think you're more qualified,
• 11:47
  Speaker 15: can go ahead and take it.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: They didn't give it to Hillary Clinton. They were not
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: going to give it to her. I know there was hope.
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: I know you talked about, you know, believing in us,
• 11:54
  Speaker 15: but it was never about us believing in us. It
• 11:55
  Speaker 15: was about us knowing them. It's not about being qualified.
• 11:59
  Speaker 15: This was when it came down to saying, they didn't
• 12:01
  Speaker 15: give it to Hillary Clinton, why would they give it
• 12:03
  Speaker 15: to Harris? So that was to me an era right
• 12:06
  Speaker 15: out the gate. But we had no choice because.
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: Biden, I think Kamalo as a black woman is the
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: only reader.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: Well, first of all, two things the last two elections,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the the Democratic Party need to be thinking black women,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: right because if it wasn't for Jim Clydburn telling Joe Biden, hey,
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not endorsing you unless you promise that you're gonna
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: put a black woman on the Supreme Court, I'm not
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: endorsing you. So that's what made him endorse Joe Biden.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: He went south Caroline and changes the complexion of his campaign.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: If it wasn't for Kamala Harris in twenty twenty, I
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: think a lot of us wouldn't have went out there
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and voted for President Biden.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: I didn't vote for President Biden. I voted Vice presid
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: Kamala Harss. I also think in.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Twenty twenty four, when you look at the fact that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's presidency was dead, like completely dead in the water,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and Kamala Harris came to the top of the ticket,
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: raised all of this money, ended up having the second
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: most votes of any Democratic nomineee ever with seventy four
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: million votes.
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: I think that only happens because she's a black woman.
• 12:55
  Speaker 15: Well, two things can be true at the same time.
• 12:57
  Speaker 15: There can be some positives they came with that, but
• 12:59
  Speaker 15: they're also be some negatives. Where we look at the data,
• 13:01
  Speaker 15: we don't have to guess. We looked at where white
• 13:03
  Speaker 15: women aligned, we looked at where the Latino community aligned.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: We looked at the bottom line data.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: This show Latino men. That was a surprise.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, why was it a surprise?
• 13:12
  Speaker 10: No?
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: No, Latinos have always fifty fifty.
• 13:16
  Speaker 15: They've always When you look at one, you know, I
• 13:18
  Speaker 15: organized for the Bernie Sanders campaign in Michigan. I was
• 13:20
  Speaker 15: only black woman on the ground in twenty fifteen to
• 13:22
  Speaker 15: helped flift that state. Latino community has always been divided.
• 13:25
  Speaker 15: When you look at Florida and you look at the
• 13:27
  Speaker 15: Cuban community, they've always went conservative. When you look at
• 13:29
  Speaker 15: the Bernie Sanders the left side the California, they always
• 13:32
  Speaker 15: go left. They have always strategiced, and I ain't mad
• 13:34
  Speaker 15: about it. They've always strategically been able to have leverage
• 13:37
  Speaker 15: because they go fifty to fifty.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: You remember when Joe Biden told black leaders when he
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: won it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Right after he.
• 13:42
  Speaker 15: Said, yeah, right, and you said, I owe you black people.
• 13:44
  Speaker 15: Remember when they had the meeting and they leaked the
• 13:46
  Speaker 15: tapes in front of the Al Sharpton and all of
• 13:48
  Speaker 15: them and say, y'all need to go follow Latino community
• 13:50
  Speaker 15: because they're the ones that have the leverage. So I'm
• 13:52
  Speaker 15: not mad at it, but we need to talk about
• 13:54
  Speaker 15: it for what it is. There might be a black
• 13:55
  Speaker 15: and brown coalition in New York. You know, I've talked
• 13:57
  Speaker 15: about that all the time.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: Set that changed.
• 14:00
  Speaker 15: They're moving over when you talk about the South, when
• 14:03
  Speaker 15: you talk about the Midwest and particularly when you talk
• 14:05
  Speaker 15: about the West, there is no black brown coalition and
• 14:09
  Speaker 15: it's okay for people to vote their interests.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Also, got news for you, black men are conservative. Doing
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: my Joe Biden whisper.
• 14:16
  Speaker 15: Black people are conservative. I don't know why people want
• 14:19
  Speaker 15: to keep, you know, making that not an issue. So
• 14:20
  Speaker 15: when you're talking about black men and you're talking about
• 14:23
  Speaker 15: other black people with the majority of the country and
• 14:24
  Speaker 15: the South majority of moderate I know progressives want to
• 14:27
  Speaker 15: sell a different story, but black people, for the most
• 14:29
  Speaker 15: part of martyrn a lot of them lean conservative. We're
• 14:30
  Speaker 15: gonna get into that when we get into the messaging,
• 14:32
  Speaker 15: but let's just kind of go back a little bit.
• 14:34
  Speaker 15: I agreed that there was some positives to it, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 15: when it came down to it, when we looked at race,
• 14:40
  Speaker 15: white women, to me, just like they did in the midterm,
• 14:42
  Speaker 15: just like they did when they were with Obama. Then
• 14:44
  Speaker 15: they went with Trump, and then they went back to
• 14:47
  Speaker 15: Democrats in the midterms, and then they flipped back. When
• 14:49
  Speaker 15: you're talking about white supremacy and talking about positioning like
• 14:52
  Speaker 15: what they did with the women suffrage movement, I just
• 14:54
  Speaker 15: didn't see them doing it for a black women over them.
• 14:56
  Speaker 15: They didn't do it with Hillary Clinton. The only person
• 14:59
  Speaker 15: that ever beat Donald Trump is Joe Biden, and I.
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: Agree, but white women voted for Trump over Biden right to.
• 15:07
  Speaker 15: Align with white supremacy, to align because this is about
• 15:09
  Speaker 15: white supremacy. This is about would they rather have their
• 15:13
  Speaker 15: household ahead of you as as a black man. That's
• 15:16
  Speaker 15: exactly something's wrong and people need to stop these pundits
• 15:19
  Speaker 15: get on another they went against their own interest.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: No, their interest is their household. Your interest is your interest.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: My interest is my interest.
• 15:25
  Speaker 15: When I keep hearing people say that they went against
• 15:27
  Speaker 15: their own interests, no, they've actually aligned with their interest,
• 15:30
  Speaker 15: which is white man, white woman, black man.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Black woman. That's the order.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: That's how it is.
• 15:35
  Speaker 15: Black people on the side, check bottom line. We need
• 15:37
  Speaker 15: to just accept that. I know we want to say BlackGirl.
• 15:39
  Speaker 15: Imagine everyone say oh because black this and that black
• 15:41
  Speaker 15: women can't save this country.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: We need to stop selling that dream.
• 15:44
  Speaker 15: Let's get in position and understand what we can do,
• 15:46
  Speaker 15: which is why I was talking about the local and
• 15:47
  Speaker 15: state level. And stop trying to sell this timeshare scam
• 15:50
  Speaker 15: because to me, it was a timeshair scam. I agree
• 15:52
  Speaker 15: with you that there was really no other choice because
• 15:54
  Speaker 15: Joe Biden was trash.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: We get that he was trash.
• 15:56
  Speaker 15: So once they said, okay, let's rally around Harris. Now
• 16:00
  Speaker 15: she's a Democrat nominee.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, so cool.
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: We're with that.
• 16:02
  Speaker 15: Black women raise thirty million dollars after Gate, Black men
• 16:05
  Speaker 15: raise thirty million out of gate. So now we're having
• 16:07
  Speaker 15: to deal with who dropped this bag? Who dropped this
• 16:09
  Speaker 15: billion dollar bag? And that's the issue where we get
• 16:12
  Speaker 15: into how they spent the money. I didn't think she
• 16:14
  Speaker 15: had a chance in hell. But once you decided to
• 16:16
  Speaker 15: move forward, okay, so what do we do with the money?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Black voters? They lost Black voters across the board.
• 16:22
  Speaker 15: That one two across the board makes a difference when
• 16:24
  Speaker 15: you're talk about Michigan, makes a difference in North Carolina.
• 16:27
  Speaker 15: So that's where we get into your concern where you
• 16:29
  Speaker 15: talk about messaging, where the messaging was all wrong.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: All right, we got more with Teslin. Figure out when
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: we come back, don't move. It's the breakfast club. Good morning,
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: the breakfast club.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: For everybody.
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: We are the breakfast club. We're still kicking it with Teslin'
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: figaro Lauren.
• 16:46
  Speaker 16: So what you think about Trump's cabinet and I guess
• 16:48
  Speaker 16: his choices for his cabinet right now, because I mean,
• 16:50
  Speaker 16: these are the people that are be gonna have to be.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think nothing.
• 16:53
  Speaker 15: I think Republican's ran Democrats rant is going to be
• 16:56
  Speaker 15: a dictator. Guess what they want a dictator. We've been
• 16:58
  Speaker 15: saying this forever.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: We've been talking about this.
• 17:01
  Speaker 15: Day of bipartisanship, and let's just get it through Congress,
• 17:04
  Speaker 15: we said Charlamane know I said it a many times,
• 17:06
  Speaker 15: like with the George Floyd to Act reducing college debt,
• 17:09
  Speaker 15: do an executive order.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody said, you can't do executi order. You gotta go
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: through Congress. Republicans are gonna change it back.
• 17:14
  Speaker 15: If you get in, they're gonna change it back. Guess
• 17:16
  Speaker 15: what Republicans don't give damn about changing the back. They
• 17:18
  Speaker 15: changed back ro VERSU what about changing back a whole
• 17:20
  Speaker 15: bunch of Obamacare and everything else. Democrats refuse to work
• 17:24
  Speaker 15: as a dictator. They want a dictator. Everybody's saying, oh, man,
• 17:27
  Speaker 15: he's gonna be a dictator, right, that's why they want.
• 17:29
  Speaker 15: Oh yes, he's gonna take migrants out. Yes, that's what
• 17:31
  Speaker 15: they wanted. People need stop saying that online is driving
• 17:34
  Speaker 15: me crazy. Oh latinos, oh man, oh man, y'all about
• 17:36
  Speaker 15: to see. They want the immigrant people who are legal.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Who will come over to this country legal.
• 17:41
  Speaker 15: They are literally telling you, yes, we don't support illegal immigration.
• 17:46
  Speaker 15: So people they're thinking, they saying something on social media,
• 17:48
  Speaker 15: y'all gonna see. No, they want a dictator. We Democrats
• 17:51
  Speaker 15: ran on democracy, They ran on dictators. Shall be a
• 17:54
  Speaker 15: dictator day one. That's exactly what they want. A dictator.
• 17:57
  Speaker 15: Somebody's gonna push the line somebody ain't gonna get damn back.
• 17:59
  Speaker 15: Will Arress is talking about somebody to say, I don't
• 18:01
  Speaker 15: I don't care what the rules are.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna do what I want to do. They want
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: a gangster period.
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah I agree with that. I wouldn't say dictator, but
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: they want somebody that don't give up.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: Well, he said he was gonna be dictator on day.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: He said that on day one.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: But I think what people mean when they say they
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: just want somebody that's gonna say, you know what, as
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: long as things are getting.
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: Done for the people, I don't care how it gets done.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Like John Stewart did a great monologue and he was
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: just like Democrats always follow the norms, and Republicans don't
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: follow the norms, they gonna find those loopholes to break,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: which is.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Kind of like dictatorship. Though he said he gonna do
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: what he want to do.
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: That's what damn what you'll tka play politically.
• 18:35
  Speaker 15: You ain't gonna pay presus So I mean that's saying
• 18:36
  Speaker 15: I'm gonna do this, and if you don't do it,
• 18:38
  Speaker 15: it's gonna be hell to pay. If you don't do it,
• 18:40
  Speaker 15: you know, I'm gonna make sure you don't win. If
• 18:42
  Speaker 15: you don't do it, I'm gonna call you out. We
• 18:44
  Speaker 15: talked about this with Joe Manchin. They let they set
• 18:46
  Speaker 15: up now Joe Manchin sing this to a Republican. We've
• 18:48
  Speaker 15: been talking about this. This has been going on for
• 18:49
  Speaker 15: the last fifteen years. This loss was not just what
• 18:52
  Speaker 15: happened in the last one hundred days. This has been
• 18:55
  Speaker 15: at least from my experience two thousand and seven. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 15: can name year over year over year on what's what happened,
• 19:00
  Speaker 15: on how we got And then another thing I want
• 19:01
  Speaker 15: to bring up on this messaging abortion. Democrats ran on
• 19:04
  Speaker 15: reproductive rights and democracy fail right out the gate. You
• 19:08
  Speaker 15: had states like Arizona and Nevada that had abortion on
• 19:11
  Speaker 15: the ballot. So Democrats mindset is, let's put abortion on
• 19:13
  Speaker 15: the ballot and that's going to bring you know, people,
• 19:15
  Speaker 15: so people know get out to vote. Gotv that's how
• 19:17
  Speaker 15: you get out the vote. Oh, they're going to go
• 19:19
  Speaker 15: to the polls now that abortion's on the ballot. Well,
• 19:21
  Speaker 15: what you did, meet ballhead, You actually allowed Republican women
• 19:26
  Speaker 15: who were pro choice to actually vote for abortion and
• 19:29
  Speaker 15: still vote for Trump. There's no rule that says if
• 19:32
  Speaker 15: you support pro choice that you won't vote for Trump.
• 19:34
  Speaker 15: So Republican women in Nevada and Arizona literally had the
• 19:39
  Speaker 15: opportunity to bring abortion back and still vote for Trump.
• 19:43
  Speaker 15: So Democrats shopped themselves even in the foot if you
• 19:45
  Speaker 15: were expecting women to go vote for reproductive rights because
• 19:48
  Speaker 15: you gave them an out.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: So the messaging was wrong out the gate.
• 19:51
  Speaker 15: We talked about that not running on the economy, not
• 19:54
  Speaker 15: running But I still think though even if you should
• 19:56
  Speaker 15: have ran on all of those things, they still gonna
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: vote for. They still would have rather voted for Joe
• 19:59
  Speaker 15: By and have dead Weekend at Bernie's. You know, they
• 20:03
  Speaker 15: didn't even win Scranton. They didn't win Scranton. Joe at
• 20:06
  Speaker 15: least won Scranton, Harris lost Scringt.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: I think Joe would have got like sixty five million.
• 20:14
  Speaker 16: Said, okay, so if if what you're saying is true,
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: what was all because I felt how you how you
• 20:18
  Speaker 16: feel now, it's how I felt in the beginning, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 16: then when I saw the excitement and the money moving
• 20:22
  Speaker 16: and all that, Yeah, what was all of that?
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: Then?
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: Anything. We're not giving you no more money.
• 20:33
  Speaker 15: Joe have no choice, that's right. Yeah, So let's be
• 20:36
  Speaker 15: clear they did not have a choice because George. Yeah,
• 20:39
  Speaker 15: they said they didn't have no choice. So two things
• 20:41
  Speaker 15: to be true. At the same time, they had to
• 20:43
  Speaker 15: put Harris in no doubt about that. I'm not disagreeing
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: with that, but I still don't think they would have
• 20:46
  Speaker 15: voted us.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: They just would.
• 20:48
  Speaker 15: They're just not going to give something that they didn't give. First,
• 20:50
  Speaker 15: did she do the best that she could? Yes?
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: Did she do everything they told her to do? Yes?
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: Did she have one hundred days to do it?
• 20:55
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 20:55
  Speaker 15: This is not about on her. This is about setting
• 20:58
  Speaker 15: up a woman to fail in one hundred days to
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: do the damn near impossible. I think Joe Biden should
• 21:03
  Speaker 15: have took that l he's the one that said, you
• 21:05
  Speaker 15: know he was gonna run. He's the one that's set
• 21:07
  Speaker 15: up there the entire time. Let him take the l
• 21:10
  Speaker 15: would you advise it to run against because it's again,
• 21:13
  Speaker 15: we gotta stop with I don't know what this obsession
• 21:15
  Speaker 15: we got with federal Let him have it. Let's talk about,
• 21:18
  Speaker 15: especially republics now saying give it to the state if
• 21:20
  Speaker 15: you really want to make real change in your community.
• 21:23
  Speaker 15: I know it's not as sexy. I know it's not
• 21:25
  Speaker 15: as exciting, but it really is at the state level.
• 21:27
  Speaker 15: It really is at the local level.
• 21:29
  Speaker 5: If you believe in you.
• 21:30
  Speaker 15: Want to fund the public schools, you can do at
• 21:32
  Speaker 15: a local level. And you say, you know what I
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: want charter schools. I want to be able to educate
• 21:35
  Speaker 15: our own You can do that at the local level.
• 21:36
  Speaker 15: Why are we so infatuated with this White House. I
• 21:39
  Speaker 15: don't don't, I don't get it. Why not be an
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: Atlanta council with sixteen other people in Orlando, with six
• 21:44
  Speaker 15: other people, be able to say I'm gonna write a
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: check to the Black Business Investment Fund, you know, to
• 21:48
  Speaker 15: be able to say, hey, here's some money to go
• 21:50
  Speaker 15: start a business. You can pass reparations at the local level.
• 21:53
  Speaker 15: So I don't understand this obsession that we have with
• 21:56
  Speaker 15: this federal thing. And I'm gonna be honest with you, Lauren.
• 21:58
  Speaker 15: Black women a lot of time times we get caught
• 22:00
  Speaker 15: up and it's wanting to be validated so damn bad.
• 22:03
  Speaker 15: So when the excitement was there, when everybody's like, oh man,
• 22:05
  Speaker 15: we can do this, we can do this. Black girl,
• 22:06
  Speaker 15: manage we do this, we can do this. Do this
• 22:08
  Speaker 15: validation of needing to be affirmed, need to say you
• 22:11
  Speaker 15: are qualified enough, you are good enough.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: A lot of that played into it. A lot of
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: that played into it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 15: But let's not forget three thousand black women did a
• 22:19
  Speaker 15: petition and said, Joe Biden, keep your ass in. They
• 22:21
  Speaker 15: ignored that and went with the money. To charlet Mane's point,
• 22:24
  Speaker 15: they didn't have a choice.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: I agree with you, especially about the state thing.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: You know, there's something else Trump said that man landed,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: and I was I'm still trying to figure out how
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: did he land this because it's so hard to get
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: people to focus on this the abortion thing, right, He
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: told them I wanted to be in the hands of
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the state. So whenever you would have conversations with people about,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: you know, abortions on the ballot.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: They'd be like, no, Trump just wants it to be
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: in the hands of the state.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I've never seen a politician convince people on a national
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: level it's going to be local and that's fine, and
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: they buy into it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Well, Trump can get anybody to buy in anything he say.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's a total man.
• 22:55
  Speaker 15: Press have never been equipped to run against Trump. Let's
• 22:57
  Speaker 15: just name it, you know, let's just say they've never
• 22:59
  Speaker 15: been equipped run against them. He's too petty, he goes
• 23:02
  Speaker 15: too low, he don't give a damn what y'all talking
• 23:04
  Speaker 15: about the entertainer first, and so they've never been equipped
• 23:08
  Speaker 15: to go against this man.
• 23:09
  Speaker 17: Never.
• 23:10
  Speaker 15: But to your point, Charlemagne, for those who understand the states'
• 23:13
  Speaker 15: rights and when you go back to Reagan, the reason
• 23:15
  Speaker 15: why black people are against SET is because what it
• 23:17
  Speaker 15: does is it disenfranchise us. Even more so if you're saying, Okay,
• 23:21
  Speaker 15: in Oklahoma, you can't get access to health care, but
• 23:25
  Speaker 15: you can get access to health care in California.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Very liberal.
• 23:28
  Speaker 15: These are folks that can't just pick up, you know,
• 23:30
  Speaker 15: and go to California to get what they need, don't
• 23:32
  Speaker 15: have the money, so it affects poor people in a
• 23:34
  Speaker 15: very bad way. The States rights, but conservatives they like
• 23:37
  Speaker 15: states give it to the states their mindset.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: If you don't like it, move somewhere else.
• 23:41
  Speaker 15: But none of us had not enough of us have
• 23:43
  Speaker 15: the resources to just move, you know, somewhere else, to
• 23:45
  Speaker 15: just move where things you know may be favorable to you.
• 23:48
  Speaker 15: So as black voters were always trying to carry the
• 23:51
  Speaker 15: lease of these and everybody else and think about everybody else.
• 23:54
  Speaker 15: But the reality is, Charlotmage, people are only looking out
• 23:56
  Speaker 15: what's in front of their doorstep. Remember when governors us
• 24:00
  Speaker 15: the Santis reduced the gas when they was talking about
• 24:02
  Speaker 15: you can't do nothing about the gas when gas was
• 24:03
  Speaker 15: so high, he said, oh no, I can do something
• 24:05
  Speaker 15: about it. This is why I talk about stay. So
• 24:06
  Speaker 15: when people remember that, even though there's more liberal, more
• 24:08
  Speaker 15: Democrat voters in Florida, people remember what affected their pocket
• 24:12
  Speaker 15: and that Republican governor made a difference. Kemp and Georgia
• 24:15
  Speaker 15: made a difference was passing out Kemp cards. He did
• 24:17
  Speaker 15: the same thing Trump did when he signed his name.
• 24:19
  Speaker 15: He gave them Kemp cards.
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: People remember that.
• 24:22
  Speaker 15: So even if they don't like Republicans, even they don't
• 24:24
  Speaker 15: like Trump. When you're looking at how that affects your
• 24:26
  Speaker 15: money daily, it makes a difference. And that's where they
• 24:28
  Speaker 15: lost as far as really trying to understand, you know,
• 24:30
  Speaker 15: the economic conversation, especially with black people.
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: That's right.
• 24:33

  Speaker 15: I was still working up at like a lovern, not

• 25:48
  Speaker 4: five one, what are your thoughts?
• 25:49
  Speaker 6: What do you think about that?
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: I think it's crazy, I do.
• 25:52
  Speaker 15: I do agree that a lot more women feel that way.
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: I mean they have taken approach like, Okay, I don't
• 25:58
  Speaker 15: have to cook. I'm so caught up in my career
• 25:59
  Speaker 15: and work and everything, and I don't want a man
• 26:02
  Speaker 15: to get in the wrong mindset about me, like I'm
• 26:04
  Speaker 15: not a homemaker. But baby, you literally can cook. How
• 26:07
  Speaker 15: would you cook? How would you eat if you didn't
• 26:09
  Speaker 15: have a man?
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: You know?
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: Would you just go out every night?
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: You know?
• 26:12
  Speaker 15: Because I started off with me cooking for myself, and
• 26:15
  Speaker 15: then I had a shout cook for him.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Every man that I've had I've cooked for.
• 26:19
  Speaker 15: It's something that I like to do. Cooking is very therapeutic.
• 26:23
  Speaker 15: And then it's the way that I take care of myself.
• 26:25
  Speaker 15: It's like a survival thing. I see my mother do it,
• 26:27
  Speaker 15: I'm gonna do it. I don't understand why it's like that.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know any women who don't cook. All
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the women that are in my life cook Now. Are
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: some of those women over forty, yeah, you know, but
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: I know them in their thirty two and they enjoy cooking.
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: So I don't know who these women already speak of.
• 26:44
  Speaker 15: And then food is made with love, and be like
• 26:47
  Speaker 15: it's made with love, so you can appreciate a home
• 26:50
  Speaker 15: cooked meal made by a woman, you know what I'm saying,
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: more than you can in an end at a restaurant
• 26:57
  Speaker 15: in you know.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: So I wouldn't say this, you know. Charlamonne always jokes
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: that we were born in the nineteen hundreds. When me
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: and my wife first started, you know, dating, and when
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: we first got married, we can only order out two things.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: You can only get pizza in Chinese food. Those are
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: the only two things that would deliver. So we had
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: to cook. She cooked every night.
• 27:12
  Speaker 5: That was the thing for New York.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm saying my wife. My wife always cooked too.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: I mean my wife's dad, you know, one of his
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: side hustles. He's a caterer, so she always knew how
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: to cook. She was always you know, in the kitchen.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: That's her thing. We've been together twenty six years. I
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: usually do that breakfast cooked.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I usually do the breakfast. My wife does the dinner'
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: That's how it.
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: That's what Chris does.
• 27:32
  Speaker 15: He cooks breakfast because I think that's probably the only
• 27:34
  Speaker 15: thing he can cook. And he but he takes that
• 27:37
  Speaker 15: on all the time. He'll make breakfast, I make lunch,
• 27:39
  Speaker 15: I make dinner. That's why I love to see like
• 27:41
  Speaker 15: Ari Fletcher, money Bagger, your's girlfriend, she cooked well, wife,
• 27:46
  Speaker 15: she cooks. I love to see young girls cook, like
• 27:48
  Speaker 15: when they get it in the kitchen. I'm like, okay, girl, yes,
• 27:50
  Speaker 15: because you can still be fly business woman, you know,
• 27:54
  Speaker 15: and still cook meals and it looks good.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: You think it's a regional thing. You think, like you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: more women that's like down south towards the southern regions.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: That's what that's what that's what they do.
• 28:03
  Speaker 5: I think so yeah. I don't know.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: I think so yeah, and I think so.
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of the reason why is one,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I think the food tastes better in the South, and
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I think up here there's so many options. It's like, yeah,
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: no Live Bo, Dagger and fast food spots in every corner,
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: so much.
• 28:18
  Speaker 15: Food around here where you can just get all over
• 28:20
  Speaker 15: New York, Like so you can never ever be hungry
• 28:23
  Speaker 15: in New York.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: But it ain't great. Yeah, it's cool, ain't great food.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: But we got Jasmine on the line. Jasmine, good morning.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: What's your thoughts.
• 28:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I feel like there's too much being put on
• 28:37
  Speaker 10: women the days fact then women staying home with their kids.
• 28:39
  Speaker 9: Like now times have like we're.
• 28:41
  Speaker 11: Working, we have businesses. We're also taking care of the household,
• 28:44
  Speaker 11: like we're just doing a lot more. I feel like,
• 28:45
  Speaker 11: as long as we're making dinner, like I make dinner.
• 28:47
  Speaker 11: I was like, as long as I make dinner, that's fine.
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: I don't want to hear no complaints about breakfast.
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: I get it, I get it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 15: Thank you, Jazmine say that y'all have no complaints about.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Break Angie on the line, Angie, good morning, morning, Detroit.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: What's your thoughts.
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, the tripa Houston all day. So my thoughts
• 29:09
  Speaker 11: on this topic. So I'm a mom and I'm a wife,
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: and I also work. I enjoy cooking. I just think
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: that now in the current state and the current economic situation,
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: moms is working forty hours a week. So even if
• 29:23
  Speaker 11: we do like to cook, and I can teak to
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: my own, it's like I'm at work right now. I'm
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: here at seven, I get off at six, and then
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: the expectations be to cook the inner every single day.
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: That's a lot. That's a lot. And sometimes men don't
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: really understand that my husband.
• 29:38
  Speaker 12: Does because he switch it up.
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: But to go to work all day long and then
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: come home and then cook and go grocery shopping, it's exhausted.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I think you're making a lot of sense, but but
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because I don't know about your mom.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: My mom used to cook every night. My mom works
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: nine to five.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: She'd be home getting already by six thirty seven o'clock
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: every night, and it was like no choice.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I used to do it's my mother did it too.
• 30:02
  Speaker 11: My mother did too because my dad works afternoons. And
• 30:04
  Speaker 11: to this day I called my mom and now say
• 30:06
  Speaker 11: I don't know how she did it, and I'm very
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: thankful that was a different breed of person. But also
• 30:11
  Speaker 11: my mom didn't have to work. It wasn't required for
• 30:14
  Speaker 11: her to have to bring in money. Nowadays, it's a
• 30:17
  Speaker 11: lot of fifty fifty men that want you to bring
• 30:19
  Speaker 11: in half.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: My mama worked.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: My mom worked.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: That If I go to my mom house right now,
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: I don't care what my mom's doing. She was stopping
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: cook That's exactly She's gonna stop and cook me a meal.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: You know, we should ask our parents. I bet she's
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: a question you never asked.
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: What's that?
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: If you have a mom who worked forty hours a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: week and came home and kept food on the table,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: what areas did she have to sacrifice in? Because there
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: had to be some There had to be some areas
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: she had to sacrifice in the relationship between her and
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: your dad.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: In order to be able to do that, there had
• 30:54
  Speaker 5: to be something.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, my mama. I don't know about yours,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: but my mom had no life like there was no
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: outside life like. She didn't go out well, she always
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: was home with you.
• 31:03
  Speaker 5: Really don't know how to speak. My mom ain't had
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: no life.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Outside of our family, like my Ei. I know Robin
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: is probably excuse me outside she didn't. It was always
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: about her family.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: And those are questions that I think that we should
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: all ask our parents, because a lot of us don't
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: know our parents before they were our parents, and you
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: don't know the sacrifices they probably made to be your parents,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: to be somebody's wife, to be somebody's husband.
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: We don't ever have those conversations with our parents.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I think we should give you a better understanding of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: what they went through and what we're currently going through.
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: Now, that's right, all right, This is the breakfast level morning.
• 31:43

• 32:23
  Speaker 6: top legally, ethically, honestly, pay your taxes, do your stuff,
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: go from cashing a check to writing a check. So
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: Alex's story and mine are very similar. Like we had
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: very strong mothers who are great influences our lives. We're
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: both extremely nosy Quincy Jones, how'd you get so smart?
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: I'm just nosy as hell. I want to know everything
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: about everything. And when he got his first check in baseball,
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: he went to ask magic like, Okay, how do I
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: turn this from a check? Because of wealth and so
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: we start talking to the folks on the front row
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: at the games where business people, and he would trade
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: his influence for lunch. I'll go to lunch with you.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: I just need to ask a bunch of questions. That's
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: what have used to do. And it was just brilliant
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: because he gained a business acumen from that, got it
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: basically the NBA while he's playing baseball. Use that to
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: then buy some real estate and then buy some more.
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: I think you worked the first piece of real estate yourself.
• 33:12
  Speaker 17: Did, Yeah, duplex, duplex for two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: So we did a financial literacy episode on money and wealth,
• 33:19
  Speaker 6: which you know something about us on the Black Effect Network.
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: That's right, make sure you subscribed to that.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's actually the episodes out this week. We did
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: this episode together on financial literacy because we both leave.
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: It's a civil rights issue of this generation. You know better,
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: you do better, and we're talking about black and brown wealth.
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: How do you how does black and brown create some
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: green at scale? It's a conversation that many folks don't have.
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: Most athletes go broke. Seventy percent, Wow, of all NBA
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: and NFL players bankrupt within five years of retirement and divorced.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: So this brother just defying all the odds. He's cool,
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: he's a he's a humble dude. He wanted to meet you, guys.
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: You've been a bit before, a bit before.
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, but he wanted to get into it. He
• 33:55
  Speaker 6: wanted to he want to show. Yeah, he wanted to
• 33:57
  Speaker 6: get into it, go to another level. And so it's
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: it's a beautiful family re reunion.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: But let's jump right into it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: So you know what gave you the mindset to say
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: I want to learn more about investing and making sure
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: that I have wealth after retirement. Was it the fact
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: that you've seen so many athletes go bro Was it
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: the fact that you said, I'm never going back to
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: where I was, or what was it that said I
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: want to be different from seventy percent of those other athletes?
• 34:19
  Speaker 17: I would say that I saw my mother work at
• 34:21
  Speaker 17: General Mortars for about twelve years. She will have the
• 34:25
  Speaker 17: early shift at three o'clock in the morning to two,
• 34:27
  Speaker 17: come home now for two hours, and then go serve
• 34:29
  Speaker 17: tables at night at midnight.
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: And I saw this for.
• 34:32
  Speaker 17: Years and years and years, and I think my life changed.
• 34:35
  Speaker 17: One day, We're at Publix, which is a supermarket down
• 34:37
  Speaker 17: in Miami. I was about twelve years old, and the
• 34:39
  Speaker 17: bill is about seventy five dollars, and I see her
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: grab some of her tip money and she got like
• 34:44
  Speaker 17: fifty six dollars or whatever. And I see that she's
• 34:46
  Speaker 17: missing like twenty twenty five bucks. And she goes into
• 34:49
  Speaker 17: another pocket or purse and grabs what I call funny money.
• 34:52
  Speaker 17: And I said, Mom, what is that funny money? It's
• 34:55
  Speaker 17: like red I've never seen money like that only monopoly,
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: and she kind of with shame in her face, looked
• 34:59
  Speaker 17: down and she goes, Son, the government is helping us
• 35:01
  Speaker 17: out a little bit this month, and it changed my life.
• 35:04
  Speaker 17: I mean I can feel it today, and I know
• 35:06
  Speaker 17: so many families out there have felt this. And that's
• 35:09
  Speaker 17: kind of where my ambitious grew.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: What we used to call food stamps. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 35:12
  Speaker 6: food stamps, But I.
• 35:16
  Speaker 17: Never seen it raining right, and I think she would
• 35:19
  Speaker 17: hide it for me. We were probably food stamps for years.
• 35:21
  Speaker 17: She just never disclosed that with me. And then, like
• 35:23
  Speaker 17: John said, I met with one of my heroes and
• 35:25
  Speaker 17: mentors and great friend now Magic Johnson, about thirty years
• 35:28
  Speaker 17: ago and he was going out to dinner with Cookie
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: and it was near at Labeldale Drive, I think Mastro
• 35:34
  Speaker 17: for something, and it was supposed to be a thirty
• 35:36
  Speaker 17: minute meeting. We met for three hours. He called cooking
• 35:39
  Speaker 17: and said I'm not coming home. And years later I said, Magic,
• 35:41
  Speaker 17: why'd you give me like three hours? And I left
• 35:43
  Speaker 17: with nine notes of papers I still have today. He said,
• 35:46
  Speaker 17: because you're one of the few athletes that came in
• 35:48
  Speaker 17: all business on time, that no phone, and you were
• 35:51
  Speaker 17: taking notes, so you were engaged, so I engaged with you.
• 35:55
  Speaker 17: So that's my message to the next generation. It's just
• 35:57
  Speaker 17: like the reason why I played baseball for so long
• 35:59
  Speaker 17: is the fundament. Whether it's Jordan or Tiger or Lebron
• 36:02
  Speaker 17: or Magic or Bird, whoever, it's fundamental in sports that
• 36:05
  Speaker 17: makes you great. The same thing as in business, you
• 36:07
  Speaker 17: got to know the rules of engagement, and our young folks,
• 36:10
  Speaker 17: while they're getting better, there's a lot of room for growth.
• 36:12
  Speaker 17: To understand the way that money works and the relationship
• 36:15
  Speaker 17: with money in financial literacy.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: So from day one, did you blow any money? Like
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: like when you first got your first big check, did
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: you blow any of it?
• 36:21
  Speaker 17: I was fortunate that I played for almost twenty five years,
• 36:23
  Speaker 17: so I would say from age twenty to thirty, I
• 36:25
  Speaker 17: made a bunch of mistakes. And then when I realized,
• 36:28
  Speaker 17: like sports, when we won the championship with the Yankees
• 36:29
  Speaker 17: and O nine, we had a squad and we were
• 36:32
  Speaker 17: as solid as anyone. And in business, the same thing.
• 36:35
  Speaker 17: You got to create an incredible team that are way
• 36:37
  Speaker 17: smarter than you, that have complimentary set of skills, but
• 36:40
  Speaker 17: at the end of the day, ye're the quarterback of
• 36:41
  Speaker 17: that team. So then I put my lessons behind me.
• 36:45
  Speaker 17: It's been pretty good ever since.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: What was the dumbest thing you bought when you when
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: you first became and made all that money in Major
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: League Baseball?
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: One from Miami, so bends and a rolex. If you're
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: from Miami, you need a rolex. And that's the growth.
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: That So by the way, me, him and Don Peples
• 37:04
  Speaker 6: was going to show a few weeks ago the three
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: black men, I know, black and brown, same thing. We're
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: all the same family who have a couple hundred million
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: dollars in loan facility for real estate on as you know,
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: this non recourse basis, which means it's no personal guarantees.
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: That's credibility, and that's where we need to go. Like
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: you make money during the day, you build wealth in
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: your sleep, and too many of us hooked on that
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: W need that dollar and get that cash. When we
• 37:27
  Speaker 6: get that buck and we get that bag, it's useless.
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: It's called literally cash flow. And if your outflows at
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: your inflows and your overhead, it will be your downfall.
• 37:35
  Speaker 6: And if you don't understand financial literacy, somebody's gonna separate
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: you from your wallet. And this is just more Zero's
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: attached to it the first year. Every athlete spends everything
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: to get Yeah, every you know, it's just it's natural.
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Growing up in Queen's there was nobody around me making money.
• 37:50
  Speaker 5: Right, We were all the same.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: We didn't know anything about financial literacy.
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: My son goes to University of Miami, calls me yesterday,
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: him and his friends about to buy a restaurant, which
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: is crazy because at twenty years old, I wasn't thinking
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: about that.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: But it's the mindset and the people that he's around.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: So for people listening, and they might not have somebody
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: around him that is knowledgeable in business. They might not
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: have somebody around him that knows where to put money
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: or what to invest in on how to do it.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: What do you tell those in people to say, Okay,
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: I don't have a magic to speak to you know
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: what I mean. I don't have a Rod to say
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: let me sit down with you. I don't have a
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: John to say this is what I have and what
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I do. So what do you tell those indemdris.
• 38:23
  Speaker 17: Ye, first, this is one includes John. The power of
• 38:26
  Speaker 17: proximity to greatness or proximity to intelligence is so powerful
• 38:30
  Speaker 17: in baseball. I wanted to be around Cay Ripken, Keith Hernandez,
• 38:33
  Speaker 17: Doc Goood and Strawberry because they had sets of skills
• 38:36
  Speaker 17: that I needed and I wanted. And great athletes can
• 38:39
  Speaker 17: copy and paste better than anyone in baseball. Skills in baseball.
• 38:43
  Speaker 5: Now you go over.
• 38:43
  Speaker 17: Now it's business and it's the same exact Droe. I
• 38:46
  Speaker 17: want to be around John Hope because every time I'm
• 38:48
  Speaker 17: around him, I get better. He inspires me, he gives
• 38:50
  Speaker 17: me more hope, He gives me no pun intended, he
• 38:53
  Speaker 17: gives my self esteem rises. Our community black and brown,
• 38:57
  Speaker 17: the number one issue is self esteem issue, and they
• 38:59
  Speaker 17: don't want to engage. They don't want to engage in
• 39:01
  Speaker 17: a business conversation because they don't want to be embarrassed.
• 39:03
  Speaker 17: That's Wor're some of the most prideful people in the world,
• 39:05
  Speaker 17: but we pay around on time. We're hardworking people. We
• 39:08
  Speaker 17: have tremndous heart and grit, but we don't want to
• 39:10
  Speaker 17: be embarrassed. That's why Shark Tank works so well. You
• 39:12
  Speaker 17: get an education, we'll get it entertainment, and the America
• 39:16
  Speaker 17: gets an NBA from Shark Tank. That's why people say
• 39:18
  Speaker 17: when I walk around, oh, there's a Shark Tank guy.
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: I love.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: Is amazing, right, they learned so early.
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: So your job as an American citizen, as a youngster,
• 39:28
  Speaker 17: right man, boy, whatever you are, is to be around
• 39:31
  Speaker 17: proximity of greatness. So if you find a great mentor
• 39:34
  Speaker 17: from age twenty to thirty, forget about the money. Twenty
• 39:36
  Speaker 17: to thirty, go work for John, Go do an internship
• 39:38
  Speaker 17: at a Rock Corp. Go work for Magic, pay nothing,
• 39:41
  Speaker 17: pay whatever you got, get a roommate. But twenty to
• 39:43
  Speaker 17: thirty is your extended education. And then once you get
• 39:47
  Speaker 17: into the thirties you open up that that black book.
• 39:49
  Speaker 17: How we say your your ladyships, right, because when you're
• 39:52
  Speaker 17: eighty five, right, you look back, your net worth is
• 39:55
  Speaker 17: going to resemble your network.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Amen. Right, So start I had a mentor. Save.
• 39:58
  Speaker 17: If you don't have a breakfast luntion dinner every single
• 40:01
  Speaker 17: day to talk about money, you're falling behind because your
• 40:03
  Speaker 17: competition's doing it all.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: Right, don't go anywhere when we come back. We got
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: more compensation with Alex Rodriguez than John Hope Briant. It's
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the world's most dangerous morning show, the Breakfast Club. Yes,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: it's the world's most dangerous morning show. To Breakfast Club,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: we got Alex Rodriguez and.
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: John Hope, Brian here this morning with us. Now, Alex,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: who got you into the franchise game?
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Which, well, the rumor now is that you know y'all
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: got the cash ready the body Minnesota Timberwolves full owner shit.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: So just by the way, there's some things that he
• 40:28
  Speaker 6: can't talk about today, legal situation. He'll answer the question.
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: They can answer by the way. I loved by the
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: way they was like wish franchise he owned so much
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: like one. But there are some things he won't be
• 40:43
  Speaker 6: able to talk about today.
• 40:44
  Speaker 17: Just high level, I mean, just kind of my passion
• 40:46
  Speaker 17: for sports. I think if you talk to most athletes
• 40:48
  Speaker 17: and you do a secret Paul, probably ninety percent of
• 40:51
  Speaker 17: more will tell you I would love to own part
• 40:52
  Speaker 17: of a team someday. Who doesn't want to convert from
• 40:54
  Speaker 17: player to owner? Right that that's the American way. We
• 40:57
  Speaker 17: took a long run at the Mets and we can't.
• 41:00
  Speaker 17: And second to Steve Cohen, thank god, because you're doing
• 41:02
  Speaker 17: a phenomenal job and we're having a great time with
• 41:04
  Speaker 17: the Timbules and the Links. Links almost won a championship
• 41:06
  Speaker 17: a couple of days ago, came up a little short
• 41:08
  Speaker 17: but very proud of our young women. Look, this is
• 41:10
  Speaker 17: the ultimate dream. To be in room with Adam Silver
• 41:14
  Speaker 17: and thirty other owners. It's pretty spectacular. And I look
• 41:17
  Speaker 17: at that and talk about imposter syndrome. You're seeing Mark Cuban,
• 41:20
  Speaker 17: you're seeing Jim Dolan, You're seeing Tony Wrestler. You're seeing
• 41:23
  Speaker 17: guys like Mark Lazerie, people that I've looked up and
• 41:25
  Speaker 17: admired and studied my whole kind of adult life. And
• 41:28
  Speaker 17: now you're in the room with them as colleagues. It's
• 41:30
  Speaker 17: really an incredible feat. Yeah, I've been dreaming about it,
• 41:33
  Speaker 17: probably for a long time and finally made the move.
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: I just got to ask the sport questions. Since we're
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: on sports, how about them damn Yankees? Oh man, how
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: does it feel to see what is taking so long
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: to get back to? And what do you think about
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: the Yankees now? It seems like baseball is more exciting now.
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: I'm watching the games more. The games are a lot faster,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: it's fast pacing. So is your what is your thoughts
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: on baseball now?
• 41:54
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 41:54
  Speaker 17: I'm so excited. This is baseball has needed this moment
• 41:57
  Speaker 17: for at least a decade. I'm so hired. Of people
• 42:00
  Speaker 17: saying baseball was born and old. Then look we went
• 42:02
  Speaker 17: through a little bit. They got born, but get Commissioner
• 42:05
  Speaker 17: Rob Manford and Tony Clark, the head of the Union
• 42:08
  Speaker 17: of the Players, and they came up with the clock
• 42:10
  Speaker 17: right and made it a lot better pace made the
• 42:12
  Speaker 17: bigger basis. Now they look like Domino's Pizza right right.
• 42:15
  Speaker 17: Base It is a game that's driven by markets and superstars,
• 42:19
  Speaker 17: in tradition and history, and this world series.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Here has it all.
• 42:23
  Speaker 17: This is two franchises that have the two richest franchises
• 42:26
  Speaker 17: in revenue, in star power global Yankee may be the
• 42:29
  Speaker 17: number one franchise in the world, Dodgers may be top five.
• 42:32
  Speaker 17: And I'm talking about ative sports, football, soccer, you name, yeah, yeah,
• 42:36
  Speaker 17: number one. The Yankees are in that top five, right
• 42:40
  Speaker 17: and when you look at the Yankees, conglomerate is well
• 42:42
  Speaker 17: worth over ten billion. When you look at the Dodgers,
• 42:44
  Speaker 17: well worth over ten billion. Okay, I would say there's
• 42:46
  Speaker 17: Otani and Judge as two biggest stars as you can have.
• 42:49
  Speaker 17: You're gonna have probably fifteen million people watching Japan, another
• 42:52
  Speaker 17: fifteen or twenty watching here. The fan basis, it's interesting
• 42:55
  Speaker 17: when you go to Dodger Stadium. There's three type of
• 42:57
  Speaker 17: fan bases. You have the corporate financial institutions and Hollywood.
• 43:00
  Speaker 17: You have the Mexicans that you know at last Fernando ven.
• 43:04
  Speaker 5: As well, who died.
• 43:05
  Speaker 17: He was a big pioneer in that movement. And then
• 43:06
  Speaker 17: the other third is now Japanese. They're printing money like
• 43:09
  Speaker 17: it is no one's business because of Otani and obviously
• 43:12
  Speaker 17: the success they've had with Mark Walters to Boldi. They
• 43:14
  Speaker 17: have an incredible ownerships, but they've had one championship in
• 43:19
  Speaker 17: thirty seven years. The Yankees have one championship in twenty
• 43:22
  Speaker 17: four years. So both franchise are going to be starving.
• 43:25
  Speaker 17: Tickets that too on today are going for forty thousand dollars.
• 43:29
  Speaker 17: Behind him played one ticket, so if you want to
• 43:31
  Speaker 17: that's eighty grand.
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: Eighty grand. Beer is probably four thousand.
• 43:36
  Speaker 17: So it's it's going to be the most watched World
• 43:38
  Speaker 17: Series since the Cubs, and you want you won right that?
• 43:41
  Speaker 17: The last one was nine so we haven't been there
• 43:43
  Speaker 17: in fifteen years, So bring the glory days back to
• 43:46
  Speaker 17: the Bronx.
• 43:46
  Speaker 16: My question, don't I don't know much about the players.
• 43:48
  Speaker 16: It's not about the players. My question is about it's
• 43:51
  Speaker 16: back to the family stuff you were talking about. My
• 43:52
  Speaker 16: first thought was, so that moment with your mom changed
• 43:56
  Speaker 16: your thoughts on money and building money in family? How
• 44:00
  Speaker 16: do you keep now you got all these franchises and
• 44:02
  Speaker 16: all this stuff, how do you keep Like you take
• 44:05
  Speaker 16: care of a lot of people, but how do you
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: set your boundaries where it's like no, because you got
• 44:08
  Speaker 16: to keep the money.
• 44:09
  Speaker 4: To make the money.
• 44:10
  Speaker 16: But you also grew up watching so many people not
• 44:12
  Speaker 16: have Like what's that battle like for you? How do
• 44:15
  Speaker 16: you be like, no, I can't do that. That makes
• 44:17
  Speaker 16: no sense, right?
• 44:18
  Speaker 6: Discipline.
• 44:18
  Speaker 17: So, first of all, I'm almost fifty now, so I've
• 44:22
  Speaker 17: had a lot of learning experience. I would say when
• 44:24
  Speaker 17: I was in my twenties and thirties, that was a
• 44:25
  Speaker 17: lot more challenging, right, But now when you're running businesses,
• 44:28
  Speaker 17: you can give people opportunities where they can win. So
• 44:31
  Speaker 17: as an example, my sister does on my personal real estate.
• 44:34
  Speaker 17: So if I'm buying a house for you know, a dollar,
• 44:37
  Speaker 17: she's making you know three percent of that or six
• 44:39
  Speaker 17: percent of that, and my brother does.
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: But they got to be to be competent.
• 44:44
  Speaker 17: They know I don't play that game. You got to
• 44:46
  Speaker 17: be by the book. There's no nepotism. I'm a very
• 44:50
  Speaker 17: tough boss I would say that.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: But here are the.
• 44:52
  Speaker 17: Rules, rules of engagement, and you played by them, you're
• 44:54
  Speaker 17: gonna get first bid. And if you perform, I'm going
• 44:56
  Speaker 17: to come back to you over and over again. If
• 44:58
  Speaker 17: you don't perform, I have no problem quickly pivoting. And
• 45:01
  Speaker 17: it's that personal. It's business. That's right now when my
• 45:04
  Speaker 17: mom calls.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Whatever now for parents listening right now, When is a
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: good time to start getting your kids involved in financial literacy?
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: When you start breathing? So when you start spending money,
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: I mean you spend money. Twenty four hours a day.
• 45:20
  Speaker 6: When you sleep, you're spending money. The government by the
• 45:23
  Speaker 6: alarm clock, you did that. The governments not paying for
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: your life bill, right, So check this out. We have
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: a kid's account in Atlanta public schools Operation Hope. By
• 45:30
  Speaker 6: the way, everybody can go get financial coaching scholarship from
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: the compans of the breakfast club. Call Operation Hope will
• 45:36
  Speaker 6: give you a thousand dollars free scholarship just because you
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: mentioned breakfast club to get coaching accounts and get your
• 45:41
  Speaker 6: credit card.
• 45:41
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: So we have it with Mayor Andrey Dickens in Atlanta.
• 45:44
  Speaker 6: We have a kid's account in kindergarten, fifty bucks in
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: the kids account. Now you may say, what's the big
• 45:48
  Speaker 6: deal of that. If you have a bank account at kindergarten,
• 45:52
  Speaker 6: you're fifty percent more likely to go to college. If
• 45:55
  Speaker 6: you have fifty dollars in that account in kindergarten, you're
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: seventy five sent more likely to graduate from college. Because
• 46:02
  Speaker 6: now you're connecting education with aspiration. The kid, the lights
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: on the kid's head. Now you're talking about stocks and
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: bonds and investment, and I mean don't and don't put
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: don't create an investment account, don't get a rod or
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: me or you DJ and be going and talking about cars,
• 46:15
  Speaker 6: you know, talking about because what there's technology these days, right,
• 46:18
  Speaker 6: talk about it. But through that it's investment.
• 46:20
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 46:21
  Speaker 6: Now, now these kids, you hooked them, right, So it's
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: about role modeling. It's about the language of money at
• 46:27
  Speaker 6: the earliest age. Because this is the aspiration generation. We
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: can literally build the next generation of America. We have to,
• 46:34

• 48:08
  Speaker 17: personally lost thirty pounds because of her. I haven't really
• 48:11
  Speaker 17: thought about that. This is really the best place I've
• 48:13
  Speaker 17: been in my life. I'm very fortunate, grate phot to
• 48:15
  Speaker 17: be where I am. I'm helping out tons of people involved,
• 48:18
  Speaker 17: like you said, with the Timbles and the Links and
• 48:21
  Speaker 17: doing my Fox deal with the Yankees and the Dodgers.
• 48:24
  Speaker 17: I'm open to anything, but right now, I'll let you
• 48:26
  Speaker 17: know if there's some big announcement coming maybe I come back.
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: I would think it would be difficult for you to
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: trust anybody and really you know what I mean, like romantically,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: just because you are a rod So the celebrity within
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: the money like it's hard.
• 48:38
  Speaker 17: It's hard for sure, but you know, you take your time,
• 48:40
  Speaker 17: you try to surround yourself with people that are better
• 48:42
  Speaker 17: than you and but there's no questions.
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: It's difficult, all right, we come back.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: We got more with Alex Rodriguez than John Hope brian
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: it's the world's most dangerous more to show breakfast Club. Yes,
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: it's the world's more dangerous more than show to breakfast Club.
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: We're here with Alex Rodriguez and John Hope Briant.
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: Now, if you got a question, I was gonna ask
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: for somebody listening, maybe possibly thinking about buying their first property,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: a first investment property, or even at first house law,
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: even refinancing at home.
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: The average person listening to this, please listen to me.
• 49:08
  Speaker 6: As fast as you can buy a home. The number
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: one way you build was in America's home ownership, the
• 49:14
  Speaker 6: average African American we had forty one forty two, forty
• 49:16
  Speaker 6: three percent of us own a home compared to seventy
• 49:18
  Speaker 6: five percent of our white counterparts that thirty percent delta.
• 49:21
  Speaker 6: That difference is massive. Home ownership and prices are not
• 49:25
  Speaker 6: going down. When I started buying those seven hundred homes
• 49:28
  Speaker 6: from the Promise Homes Company, I ran it up to
• 49:30
  Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty million dollars of assets under management.
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: That partok the portfolio I bought for eighty eight thousand,
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: I sold them at three hundred and fifty thousand. No
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: one moved the house. It was no genius to it.
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: It's the magic of compounding.
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: Either.
• 49:42
  Speaker 6: They're not growing anymore land a lot. Most of the
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: places where we live are inner cities. What's an inner
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: city in France it's called Paris. What's an inner city
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: in Britain it's called the UK. Like we have centrally
• 49:52
  Speaker 6: located real estate and we're walking away from it to
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: rent from somebody we don't know. To spend money. We
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: don't have to impress people we don't know, to talk
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: about stuff that don't matter, like knock it off, buy
• 50:02
  Speaker 6: the worst house and the best block in the hood,
• 50:05
  Speaker 6: d a hyphen hod the hood adjacent, buy it near transportation, economy,
• 50:10
  Speaker 6: economic activity, activity, and a vibrant environment, buy it, rehabit,
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: live in it, use equity in a couple of years
• 50:16
  Speaker 6: later and buy I know you know what I'm talking
• 50:18
  Speaker 6: about here a DJMV by the second home three years later.
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: You do that three times over five to six years.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: This is my mother's story. Worked in an hourly job.
• 50:26
  Speaker 6: You're a millionaire, and you can get the down payment
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: through the Earning them tax credit. Right, you can go
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: to Operation Hope to we can help you get quality
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: vibor EITC. If you're making thirty eight thousand dollars and
• 50:34
  Speaker 6: have three children, the government owes you about seven thousand
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: dollars cash. So you just gave everybody listening to this
• 50:39
  Speaker 6: who makes thirty eight thousand dollars a check and it's
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: retroactive for three years. If you've never filed, that's almost
• 50:44
  Speaker 6: twenty thousand dollars. There's your down payment right there, right,
• 50:47
  Speaker 6: so we can and to get your credit score up,
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: get your debt down, get your savings up, get into
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: that house because it costs just as much to rent
• 50:53
  Speaker 6: as it doesn't pay in mortgage payment. You're right, interest
• 50:55
  Speaker 6: rates to two percent not coming back, that's fine. Four percent,
• 50:58
  Speaker 6: five percent is just fine. That's still very very low,
• 51:01
  Speaker 6: but prices are not coming down. You're all gonna wait, no, no, no,
• 51:05
  Speaker 6: don't wait, it's gonna get worse, go get more expensive.
• 51:08
  Speaker 6: Buy right now.
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you a question because I think
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: sometimes we have these conversations, and we have these conversations
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: from our perspectives. Right, Well, y'all in a different tax bracket.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, everybody here, for the most part,
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: has money. What about people who have no money? People
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: from our communities who have zero dollars? How do the
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: poor even get to the middle class?
• 51:26
  Speaker 5: I got you there. I mean, he's the master.
• 51:28
  Speaker 17: But I'm just gonna give you like really simple, right,
• 51:30
  Speaker 17: Money is the easiest part to get. And I know
• 51:32
  Speaker 17: this sounds crazy to the folks listening. Right, money there's
• 51:36
  Speaker 17: over a trillion dollars sit in the sidelines looking for
• 51:38
  Speaker 17: great deals.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: So if you don't have money, can you find deal flow?
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: Can you hustle?
• 51:42
  Speaker 17: If you find me an asset that costs ten million
• 51:44
  Speaker 17: dollars and you bring me, you bring it to me
• 51:46
  Speaker 17: for eight you basically own two million dollars of that
• 51:49
  Speaker 17: one hundred percent. So if you bring me a ten
• 51:50
  Speaker 17: million dollar deal, right, and I can buy it for eight.
• 51:52
  Speaker 17: You say, hey, give me a million dollars on that.
• 51:54
  Speaker 17: I'll give you because IM still getting a million dollar discount.
• 51:56
  Speaker 17: I'm paying nine for ten million dollar asset, so I'm
• 51:58
  Speaker 17: getting a discount. So looking for opportunities, understanding where the
• 52:01
  Speaker 17: trend is going, and you, as an entrepreneur, says, how
• 52:04
  Speaker 17: do I get in the way, so when that train
• 52:06
  Speaker 17: goes by, I can jump on and jump in that bandwagon.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: Right, it's creating opportunities if you find deals, you got money.
• 52:12
  Speaker 5: Is that possible for.
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: Everyday people to yes, yes, yes, yes, you know you
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: can buy a You can open a fractional stock account
• 52:19
  Speaker 6: and put in twenty five dollars to buy some stock.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: Now you spend that on Starbucks. You can do you
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: can do ten ducks. You can do five bucks a
• 52:27
  Speaker 6: fractional stock on any stock that you want. So there's
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: no excuse if you want to get in this game.
• 52:31
  Speaker 6: Operation Hope will help you again. If you're listening to
• 52:33
  Speaker 6: the Breakfast Club, will give you a scholarship for coaching
• 52:36
  Speaker 6: and counseling. We're gonna get your credit score up. The
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: average credit scorer for black people, by the way, is
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: six twenty Latino's are a little above that notch more,
• 52:42
  Speaker 6: but that means half of us are locked out of
• 52:44
  Speaker 6: the free enterprise system. You can't get a decent home
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: loan at eating below seven hundred, can't get a decent
• 52:49
  Speaker 6: auto loan below at six point fifty. You can't get
• 52:52
  Speaker 6: a business loan at all unless you're seven hundred better
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: because it's risky credit. So we think the issue is
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: racism or discrimination. It might be, but it also might
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: be that you don't understand there's a game. There's a
• 53:03
  Speaker 6: credit box, and you're not in it. But you have
• 53:06
  Speaker 6: to have discipline, you have to live below your means,
• 53:08
  Speaker 6: you have to understand this game. You've got to be
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: financially literate, and everybody can be a winner at this game.
• 53:15
  Speaker 6: I'd love to come back at some point. We need
• 53:16
  Speaker 6: to talk about a whole this whole thing or relationship capital,
• 53:19
  Speaker 6: which you talked about a little bit, like behind all
• 53:21
  Speaker 6: of us is a backer, sure, a partner that we're
• 53:24
  Speaker 6: not talking about magic has it. I know who they are.
• 53:27
  Speaker 6: I love talking about Tony Wrestler and Micaregetty. Right, they
• 53:30
  Speaker 6: backed me eighty million dollars and I paid them back
• 53:33
  Speaker 6: plus seven percent.
• 53:34
  Speaker 16: Right, it's important because our community feel like capitalists, you said,
• 53:37
  Speaker 16: talk about making smart sexy. They feel like that's a
• 53:39
  Speaker 16: bad thing. A lot of people, not everybody, but a
• 53:41
  Speaker 16: lot of people in our community feel like capitalism is
• 53:43
  Speaker 16: a horrible thing. Having people back you as a horrible
• 53:45
  Speaker 16: thing as well too.
• 53:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so people say, let's go for and set further. Oh,
• 53:48
  Speaker 6: I hate rich people.
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: No, you don't.
• 53:52
  Speaker 6: You hate rich people to you become rich. What you
• 53:56
  Speaker 6: hate is a game system to your point, right, what
• 53:58
  Speaker 6: you hated. The system is rig so that you don't
• 54:00
  Speaker 6: think you can succeed. The money's not evil. It's the
• 54:03
  Speaker 6: love of money that's evil. It's the greed and bassiar.
• 54:07
  Speaker 6: Angel Jung says that men and women fail for three reasons, arrogance, pride,
• 54:10
  Speaker 6: and greed. What did Malcolm X say. We've been bamboozled,
• 54:14
  Speaker 6: We've been tricked, we've been full, We've been hoodwink We've
• 54:16
  Speaker 6: been hoodwinked on this topic, black people, we have never
• 54:19
  Speaker 6: had an economic infrastructure in the history of us being here.
• 54:23
  Speaker 6: That's our problem. Govern's not gonna save you. Even if
• 54:27
  Speaker 6: you want to distribute money like a socialist, you gotta
• 54:29
  Speaker 6: collect it like a capitalist. What's the entertainment business, the
• 54:32
  Speaker 6: business of entertainment, the sports business. It is the business
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: of sports. What we don't understand is the business. I'm
• 54:39
  Speaker 6: gonna give everybody here free game. There are about one
• 54:43
  Speaker 6: hundred trillion dollars about to co hit the market in
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: the next ten years. All these baby boomers are retiring
• 54:49
  Speaker 6: at the same time. They're gonna give their cash in
• 54:50
  Speaker 6: their stock to their kids. They're gonna give their house
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: to their family. Kids don't want the business. Those businesses
• 54:55
  Speaker 6: have cash flow, client lists, real estate, a brand. I'll
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: say a minute ago, bring me an asset for ten
• 55:01
  Speaker 6: million that I can get for eight million, and you
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: have the upside between eight and ten. So if you
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: come to me and say I have a startup idea,
• 55:08
  Speaker 6: give me a million dollars so I'm gonna get out
• 55:10
  Speaker 6: of here right. You come to me and say, I've
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: got a business that's got a million dollars of cash flow,
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: that's got an evaluation of ten million dollars? Will you
• 55:17
  Speaker 6: finance that? The acquisition in this example says ten million
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: dollars a revenue. Will you've some answer a nine million
• 55:24
  Speaker 6: dollar acquisition. The answer to that is absolutely yes. Non
• 55:28
  Speaker 6: recourse mean no personal guarantee. Wall Street does that all dea.
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: It's called private equity. So you got literally trillions of
• 55:34
  Speaker 6: dollars with businesses that are about to hit the market,
• 55:37
  Speaker 6: and people listening to this can go become capitalists right
• 55:40
  Speaker 6: now with an existing cash flow business, existing assets, existing employees.
• 55:45
  Speaker 6: They're not no risk, but low risk because it's already successful.
• 55:48
  Speaker 6: So we need to stop being self employment projects because
• 55:51
  Speaker 6: ninety six percent of all black businesses don't have an employee.
• 55:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know what the Latino numbers are, but you
• 55:56
  Speaker 6: but again, you bill wealth and your sleep is compounding.
• 55:59
  Speaker 6: This is a huge opportunity.
• 56:01
  Speaker 17: So all of us here walking to opportunities every single day,
• 56:05
  Speaker 17: but it's taking your eyeballs and your brain and your
• 56:08
  Speaker 17: ears to think about opportunities when you hear them. So
• 56:10
  Speaker 17: you hear opportunities all the time. You know, poor guy
• 56:13
  Speaker 17: and a rich guy go through a bad neighborhood. The
• 56:15
  Speaker 17: poor guy goes, God, what a terrible neighborhood. I wouldn't
• 56:17
  Speaker 17: never want to live here. The rich guy goes, let's
• 56:20
  Speaker 17: try to see if we can buy all this stuff
• 56:21
  Speaker 17: on a cheap, because in ten years you're going to
• 56:23
  Speaker 17: be different. You go to a barber shop, and you
• 56:25
  Speaker 17: hear through a terrible divorce, and you hear this gossip
• 56:27
  Speaker 17: all the time, and you guys are here, Man, what
• 56:29
  Speaker 17: a terrible situation.
• 56:30
  Speaker 5: I have to sell their house. I have a sell
• 56:31
  Speaker 5: the car.
• 56:32
  Speaker 17: If you're an entrepreneur in the ear, you hear, oh,
• 56:34
  Speaker 17: that might be an opportunity. Well maybe I can not
• 56:36
  Speaker 17: to take advantage of anyone, but if you have to
• 56:38
  Speaker 17: sell your house quickly, maybe I can provide a quick
• 56:41
  Speaker 17: buy and sell for you off market, right person, And
• 56:43
  Speaker 17: there goes that seven million dollar deal for ten right.
• 56:46
  Speaker 17: So it's about rewiring of the brain and looking at
• 56:48
  Speaker 17: opportunities and not looking at problems, because problems is really opportunities.
• 56:52
  Speaker 4: Well, ladies and gentlemen, thank you for joining us so much.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: John O'Brien.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: Is happening December nineth to the eleventh in Atlanta, Georgia,
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: mass I'll be there all right.

  Speaker 1: Jelene White. Now he's twenty, so that means he was
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: born in two thousand and four. And he is confirming
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: my theory that after the year two thousand and the
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: universe just started making anybody. And I told you all
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: this because God sold the company that makes humans. He
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: sold it to some other higher power and they kept
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the name. Okay, same model, but the ingredients just not
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: the same because these little youngins is different. See, Jalen
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: has an eight month old son, and the mother of
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: the child had to run out real quick, so she
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: left the baby with his daddy. Well, Jalen decided to
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: do what most men do when they watch their kids,
• 58:03
  Speaker 1: and that's play NBA two K.
• 58:05
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm going to tell you right now this is
• 58:07
  Speaker 5: where a story gets dark.
• 58:08

• 58:09
  Speaker 1: bad news, let's go to CBS News Chicago for the report.
• 58:12
  Speaker 5: Please.

• 58:15

• 58:21
  Speaker 19: Jalen White was playing NBA two K. He was quote
• 58:24
  Speaker 19: down two points in the fourth quarter of the game.
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: Prosecutors say that's when he threw his eight month old
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: son against the wall. The criminal complaint states White told
• 58:33
  Speaker 19: detectives he heard his son's head hit the wall loudly.
• 58:37
  Speaker 19: Hospital staff discovered several injuries on the child, not all
• 58:40
  Speaker 19: of them from the wall incident.
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: This appears not to be the first abuse of conduct
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: with his child, based on the fact that there are
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: multiple stages of healing and broken ribs.
• 58:53
  Speaker 19: The baby has a dramatic brain injury and is not
• 58:55
  Speaker 19: expected to survive. If the child does die, prosecutors will
• 58:58
  Speaker 19: upgrade the charges against to homicide.
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: Somebody tell Donald Trump to add jailing to the mass deportationless. Okay,
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: don't be fooled because his last name is White, He's not.
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: This man was losing by two points in NBA two
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: K and got so upset that he threw his baby
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: against the wall in anger. What happened to throwing your
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: controller against the wall? What happened is simply resetting the game.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: What happened to instinctively loving your kids more than anything
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: else on this planet?
• 59:29
  Speaker 5: This man, Jalen, told police and I quote, he hit.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: His head hard on the wall. Bro I heard the wall.
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: It was hard on his head. I heard the impact
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: of the wall after I tossed him. This man's eight
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: month old child is not expected to live because his
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: daddy was losing by two points in the fourth quarter
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: in NBA two K. The craziest part about this story
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: is Jaalen said, uh, he said he didn't. He didn't.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: He didn't say he saw the baby hit the wall.
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: He said he heard the baby hit the wall. That
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: means he just lost the child without looking. Okay, he
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: tossed the baby away. He just tossed the baby the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: way tyree'se tossed those tissues the last time he was handing.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 5: Breakfast Club studios, crying, I'm not doing this me neither. Okay.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: Out of all the things you could have grabbed and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: threw at the wall out of anger, you tossed to
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: your child. And you're trying to tell me just the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: same original recipe for humans God been using. No humans
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: are under new management, and God and Ben. Okay, God
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: don't have his hands on none of those new model humans.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: You only hear humans of a certain age say God
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: not done with me yet, because we are some of
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: the last models that God created that he still got
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: his hands on. Okay, therefore we can still go the
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: God Repair Service Center lifetime warranty. But the reality is
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: God is done with some of y'all. And in the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: case of Julien White, God said, get somebody.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: Else to do it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I don't have nothing to do with that. I don't
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: have nothing to do with those humans boring after two thousand.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: Okay that after two thousand human business.
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: That's not me.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 5: I'm over here.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: I got my hands on the chain pansies, the dolphins,
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: the ravens. Have you noticed what I'm doing with the
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: orcars and the bees? They are the new intelligent life
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: and Ben, which is why the more you get to
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: know humans born after the year two thousand, you realize
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 1: why Noah only let animals on the arc. Now, Jailing
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: is being held on child abuse and child neglect charges,
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: and you heard the news report. If the poor eight
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: month old child dies from his injuries, Jailing's charges are
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: expected to be updated to include murder, and he is
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: currently being held on one hundred thousand dollars bond. All
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: those in favor of keeping him there forever saying I
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: I okay, all right, I mean yes, although the Poles say.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 5: No, okay, please let Remy Mark give Jailing White the
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 5: biggest he huff.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: Hee ha he ha, you stupid motherfu are you dumb?

• 1:01:58
  Speaker 15: He said that it was think the first time, like

• 1:02:03
  Speaker 15: I'm and all that like, that's that's crazy.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: So why wouldn't the baby taking out of the kid before.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: That's why he deserves everything he was about to get.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 5: If you get in prison, he get in prison. Okay.

• 1:02:55
  Speaker 1: You know, I always say, like, I know that there's
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of athletes who do podcasts and stuff. I
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: don't know anybody before y'all. I feel like y'all started
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: that whole wave. How did this come about? This just
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: for a podcast? Like I know, y'all was partnered together.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 18: I think I think Jack retired maybe one or two
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 18: years before me and we both got out. We're doing
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 18: ESPN and Fox and getting positive feedback and people said
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 18: we needed to do something together. And we were at
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 18: my house in the Bay one time smoking. I'm just like,
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 18: you want to do a podcast? And he was like, sure,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 18: what is it? I was like, I don't really know,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 18: but I think I think we can drink and smoke.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 18: Because we were working ESPN and Fox, you know, you
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 18: got to kind of walk that line. So it was
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 18: just a little bit more to our comfort zone. And
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 18: he said, yeah, So I started doing the homework and
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 18: we landed here. We landed the showtime.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 4: Kamala was your most recent we said, Joe Kim.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 18: Noah after her, But yeah, Kamala was yeah, a big
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 18: boy for us.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 5: And how was that?
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: I know you're a little reluctant a little bit at first.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 5: Oh no, you know that I called him and talked
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: to him about it. Me and Matt.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 14: We went at it for a couple of days about it.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 14: You don't want to do it at first, nah, because
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 14: I really don't want to get in politics.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 5: I don't.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 14: I don't even want to be involved, and a lot
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 14: of people that support me don't get involved.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. I look at it the
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 5: same way I look at it, but as a friend
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 5: and as a brother to him.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 14: You know, anything that he asks me to do something,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 14: you know, nine or ten times, i'm law to a fault.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 14: You know what I'm saying, even if it's something I
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 14: don't want to do, but I know it was beneficial
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 14: for our company. I know it's benefit. And I see
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 14: after I did the interview, I see now I have
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 14: a lot of women in my life. I have eight
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 14: aunts of six daughters, you know, so I would look
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 14: to them after I did the interview.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: I'm glad I did it now.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 14: Because they all look at her and they look up
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 14: to her and inspire to be great like her.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: So I'm glad I did it.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 18: You know, when he said he didn't want it, first
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 18: of all, I told him as a stack of I
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 18: ever let you wrong in a business decision or life,
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 18: and he said no. But you know, when he said
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 18: he didn't want to get involved with the politics, I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 18: told him, you know, I don't think that was his
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 18: choice because once he did that George Floyd thing, he
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 18: put his smack dab in the middle of the biggest
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 18: leading one of the biggest protests this world has ever seen.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 18: So a lot of things come with that, a lot
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 18: of good, a lot of bad, but a lot of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 18: things come with that. And I think that he implanted
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 18: himself in the middle. And I always will respect his opinion,
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 18: but I just thought, this can be an opportunity for
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 18: he has a very loyal following, and it could have
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 18: been a you know, it was a it was an
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 18: opportunity for him to you know, get some stuff on
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 18: his chest or ask straight to the face, and you know,
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 18: asked her asked her straight to the face those questions.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 18: So I'm glad he decided to come around. It took
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 18: him a minute, like, literally, let me tell you, bro,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 18: until she came in the room. Jack wouldn't right until so,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 18: so she came in the room, and then she took
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 18: us away from the group and and took us on
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 18: a walk throughout the house and started showing us these
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 18: this dope black art and sculptures.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: And Jack was still tough like.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 18: And then he saw this one piece of already liked
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 18: and she talked about it, and she had moved on
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 18: and I kept falling, and he went and.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 5: Touched the art and looked at it. I was like, oh,
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 5: she might be getting to him.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 18: And then he showed she showed this dope ass chandelier.
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 18: And then once she showed the chandelier and explained it,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 18: and then Jack started smiles like, all right, she got him,
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 18: so we were straight. So it took him a minute
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 18: to him up.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Did she know that you didn't want to do it?
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 5: She had, Yeah, she had a little bit. I guess
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 5: she had a little somebody to show him to handed her.
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: Did y'all smoke before you got there?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: I did, of course, I'm high now.
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 18: Yeah, it was too presidential to be able to try
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 18: to sneak it in and get went off. And we
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 18: was representing a lot of people, so we didn't want
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 18: to get in trouble. But yeah, definitely pregamed.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 5: You know, that was one of them smoke shower, you know,
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: Steve Hotel.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: You know, y'all had the last conversation with Kobe Bryant,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: last interview with Kobe Bryant, and I always wondered, was
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: that the last time either one of y'all actually.
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 5: Spoke to him.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 14: That was the first and last time I spoke to
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 14: him since we played against each other.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 5: Wow, I know, mad y'all had.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 18: Yeah, we would see each a little bit more because
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 18: he was coaching and I was coaching the Twins. So
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 18: we had talked maybe one time after that, and then
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 18: he had sent some shoes literally the week I think
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 18: he passed on a Sunday. He sent shoes that previous
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 18: Monday to the Twins and their whole team, so they
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 18: had just got fresh Kobe. So we had spoken then obvious,
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 18: like I said, he sent some shoes the week of
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 18: the actual past, so it was it was tough man, what.
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: Stands out from that conversation. I mean, you have it,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: y'all have it into all the small coffee table book.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: But what stands out from that competition just from that.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 18: We had a conversation in this office before we actually
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 18: got on camera, and he was really adamant about this
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 18: next twenty years and for the world to be prepared
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 18: for what he was doing in business. He was just
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 18: finishing writing one of those children novels he was working on,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 18: and he just like fellas like, I don't want people
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 18: to remember me for my last twenty years. I want
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 18: them to remember me for my next twenty years. You know,
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 18: he had the fund and had one Emmy's and doing
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 18: all kinds of stuff in the business space. And obviously
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 18: really saw when I got to see him coach Gigi
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 18: and just he didn't always never showed a ton of joy,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 18: but you can just tell he loved it. I mean,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 18: he had these little girls running the triangle offense with
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 18: take some grown men a long time to learn.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 5: He had these girls practicing four or five days a week,
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: three hours a day.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 18: Like the thing about COVID, he didn't take nothing light
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 18: when it came to basketball. So these were little young girls,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 18: but they were running the Lakers offense to a t.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 18: He was like a drill stargeant with it. But you
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 18: could tell he loved it. You know, all those little
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 18: girls loved him and looked up to him, and just
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 18: the passion behind that was.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 5: Beautiful to see for me.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 14: I think seeing meeting him as a teenager and seeing
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 14: him grow into the icon he was.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 5: I just admired that.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 14: You know, with so many players and basketball players you
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 14: come across doing AAU and traveling, you know, coming up
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 14: as a teenager, you see so many people that's supposed
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 14: to be great.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 5: That don't live up to it. You know what I'm saying.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 5: He lived up to it and exceeded it.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 14: So you know, just to be able to sit there
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 14: to talk to him after our careers, you know what
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 14: I mean, and go through the memories, you know what
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 14: I'm saying.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: Then you know before he passed them and everything. To me,
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: what do you think about the Lakers? Now?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: We see Bronnie played the last two games and people
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: are on Brownie's ass.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 14: That's a beautiful I show him there we got in
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 14: the car with That's the dopest picture when you're helping
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 14: his dad up there that's the dope.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 5: Whoever hate die.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 18: Yeah, I mean I think if anyone deserves this opportunity
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 18: to play with his son, I think it's him, you
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 18: know what I mean. And and the fact that that
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 18: whole thing was orchestrated for him to get to the
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 18: Lakers is amazing.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 11: And I was, I was.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 18: I had a moment this past summer because my twins
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 18: are fifteen now, so I take them and play against
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 18: grown men. And I remember one time me and the
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 18: twins were on the same team playing and we was hooping.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 18: I'm just like, man, this is so dope. I couldn't
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 18: imagine this on the highest level. So to me, I mean,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 18: the kid was a fifty fifth pick. I mean, the
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 18: fifty fifth pick doesn't even make it. So all these
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 18: crazy expectations for him earlier ridiculous, like allow him to develop.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 18: But you know, we don't live in a world where
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 18: development is allowed, especially on the highest level. So I
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 18: think from a father's son aspect, is incredible. But you know,
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 18: the Lakers are one of those teams where you got
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 18: to produce what have you've done for me lately? And
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 18: they haven't necessarily done that. So it's going to be
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 18: interesting you know scrutinage year.
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 16: I think we were talking about that earlier. Do you
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 16: think that Bronni will actually have the chance to develop?
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 16: But you feel like people going to pigeonhold him so.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 14: Much that it might get you even more of a
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 14: chance to develop because his father's death, Like that's the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 14: motivation you have, and he's seeing what it takes to
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 14: be great. So all that is in him already, and
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 14: now he's in the in the in the facilities where
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 14: you have everything here to be great. I think I think, yes,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 14: everything you need, and I think he's definitely gonna blosm mover.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 18: And I also think too, I mean, I don't think
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 18: you look at Bronnie in the same light as you
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 18: look at lebron.
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 5: Try.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 18: I just think I think he's going to be a
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 18: very solid role player. I mean, he's got a high
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 18: high i Q place defense, can make the right play,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 18: can shoot the ball. So I just think he needed
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 18: a little bit more time to develop, and now he's
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 18: developing on the biggest stage. But I think, you know,
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 18: two three, four years, he's going to be a very
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 18: solid rotational player.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 5: All Right.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 3: We got more with Steven Jackson and Matt Bonnes from
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: all the Smoke podcasts. When we come back, so don't move,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: It's to Breakfast Club, Good Morning Owning Everybody as the
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 3: j n VY. Jess Hilary is Charlamage the guy. We
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: are the Breakfast Club. Laura LaRosa is filling in for Jess,
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: and we still kick it with Steven Jackson and Matt
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: Bonds from all the Smoke Podcasts.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 5: Charlomagne, what was.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: The process of putting his book together? Like, how did
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: y'all choose which conversations to put.
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 18: Into shout out Dylan, Yeah, obviously, yeah, you and the
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 18: company and then Dylan just understanding you know, where we
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 18: the caliber of guests we had and the different topics
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 18: we spoke on. You know, again, there's a ton of
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 18: people in this space now as far as sports, but
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 18: I don't look as if as competition. I think everyone
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 18: had their own journey and their own voice and their
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 18: own experiences, and I think we still think with all
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 18: the conversations we had, our conversation is still different from
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 18: everybody else. So so just important, you know, family, mental health,
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 18: everything that comes along in this journey. And you know,
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 18: we've been able to transition from not just a sports
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 18: show to just kind of a more of a culturally
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 18: relevant show, you know when we're talking to the Kevin's
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 18: and the Wills and the Jada's and the.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 5: Jamis and and the VP.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 18: So I just think, you know, high level conversations with
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 18: high level people, and you know, being able to be
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 18: celebrated with that. I mean, if I'm not mistaken with
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 18: the first podcasts with the coffee table book, man, so
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 18: I think it's it's it's a tremendous opportunity. We're very
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 18: thankful for it and and hope that everyone checks it out.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 16: How did how did you guys know it was time
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 16: to You talk a lot about transition, that it was
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 16: time to transition in and like lean into like okay,
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 16: the podcast, the merch like just the business side of things,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 16: Like was that a switch? It probably was planned, But
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 16: when did you know, like okay, it's trying to jump
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 16: the fence now.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 18: The reason why I left the NBA the first year
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 18: of a three year deal, I happened to win a
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 18: championship with Golden State and I wouldn't get to get
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 18: after you got planned. I wasn't get a chance to
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 18: my kids, you know what I mean? So you know,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 18: it was kind of a perfect storm when we won
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 18: a championship and I was ready to move. So I
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 18: was just kind of excited. And I think sometimes how
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 18: why athletes have a hard time transitioning because they don't
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 18: get to leave on their on accord. Most of the
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 18: time it's injuries or a reputation, or just teams don't
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 18: want to know more. But you know, I was someone
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 18: that just you know, I was in the midst of
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 18: a contract and I'm just like, man, you know, this
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 18: is the blessing we won. I want I'm missing so
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 18: much time with my sons, my father first, so you
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 18: know that was my transitioning reason. And then once I transition,
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 18: I'm like, damn, what's next. You know, I had invested
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 18: well and you know, had some things moving, but I
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 18: knew I was still needed to find something to do.
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 18: And you know, media came knocking for both of us.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 18: You know, we kind of ran with it. So, I mean,
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 18: Jack is the kind of guy that you know, he
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 18: trusts very few, so if you're in his trust circle,
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 18: he's going to listen to you. And when I pitched
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 18: the idea, he trusted me to run with it and
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 18: make it happen, and you know that's what I was
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 18: able to do.
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 4: I want to ask some basketball question before y'll get
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: about of here, Klay Thompson, what you think about him
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 4: leaving the war is and you think it was time
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: for him to go?
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: I think it's a breath of fresh air for him.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 5: I mean some guys need that doing their career. You
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 5: know what I mean. You've played it service, Bob for
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: so long. It's a bad feel in the body.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 14: I ain't won last couple of years, so a lot
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 14: of times they're going to try to find somebody to
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 14: blame it on. And it fell on Clay, you know
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 14: what I'm saying, which which is unfortunate because he's the
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 14: reason why they have a big part why they have
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 14: all those championships over there.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: But this is how professional sports goals. Yeah, that's how
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: it goes.
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 14: And I think it's great for him because he's landed
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 14: in the spot where he can do what he do
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 14: best with two of the best one on one players
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 14: ever and Kyrie and Luca he could spot up and
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 14: shoot jumpers. So I think I think it's a great,
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 14: great situation for him because I've been in a situation
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 14: where I was somewhere and I needed to go to
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 14: a different team to be to flourish and be a
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 14: better player when I came to Golden State.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: So that's kind the same for him. Clay is a hooper. Yeah,
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 5: oh yeah, he played on both ends.
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 6: W NBA.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: What are your thoughts this year? What a new excitement,
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 4: new life. Sometimes I ain't go front. It feels better
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: than the NBA is it's what's your thoughts on WNBA?
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 14: The women's game is perier, man, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 14: They all played the right way. It's refreshing to watch.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 14: It's good to see them start to get their money
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 14: and get their attention that they deserve. I'm a hooper,
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 14: so I'm all for anybody that's hooping, that's putting in
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 14: that work, you know what I'm saying, that's grinded all
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 14: these years to get to the top of I'm happy
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 14: that they.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 5: They just do. I think the growth of the game
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 5: is tremendous.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 18: You know the fact that we're talking about it and
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 18: seeing it on ESPN and all the highlights and and
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 18: and you know, we're doing a piece that I'm excited
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 18: about on injuries and caith and Clark and just their
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 18: dynamic that they brought to the game, and and the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 18: vehicle of new fans they brought. And you've heard kind
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 18: of some of the good and the bad that have
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 18: come with that. You know, Angel spoke out on just
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 18: the negativity and the racism that'll come from some fans
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 18: and kind of using them.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: But is that normal though, because you know, it seems
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 4: like that's normal in the league. I'm sure that you
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: guys have been called a million and one names.
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 5: Absolutely absolutely.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 18: Utah, yeah, I just got and yeah that's back when
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 18: you still had the space between your teeth.
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. I had had a cardboard
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 5: cut out under the gold with me and a jail suit.
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 5: Oh no, it was funny too.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 18: We were all laughing signed it. Yeah no, But I
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 18: just I think the growth of the game is this.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 18: I think it's going to continue to grow. It's got
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 18: new eyeballs and new sponsorship and new money, and you know,
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 18: we just want to continue to celebrate them.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 16: There was a video last year in November that went
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 16: viral of you and Derek Fisher coaching the Twins together.
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 16: That was a really That video was like I think
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 16: the world was like, oh wow, the world.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I was.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 16: I remember twenty fifteen and everything before that, Right, what
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 16: was it like getting to that point where now were
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 16: on the court.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 4: It's important to do it, But what.
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: Was that like?
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 18: Standing me and Fish squashed that summer after it happened,
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 18: like that happened at the beginning of one season, and
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 18: then the next summer once I found out he was around,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 18: and then twins cared about him, Like we squashed it
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 18: because it wasn't about my ex and I no more.
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 18: It was about trying to raise these young men. So
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 18: Fish has been in the boys life for almost half
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 18: their life, you know what I mean. So we've always
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 18: been And I was real enough to sit down and
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 18: have a conversation with him, like, bro, I'm still playing,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 18: so you're going to see my kids more than me.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 5: I need you to teach them the ropes.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 18: Well I'm not around, so to me, you know, once
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 18: I got over, and once we talked about how I
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 18: didn't agree with the move and it could have went
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 18: a different way, Like it wasn't about saving that, it
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 18: was about harvesting and we got to raise two young
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 18: black men. So I mean, I think he's done a
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 18: great shot. I tip my hat to him all the time.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 18: I mean, he's he's their second dad, and he you know,
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 18: I coached him in the summer during au and he
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 18: coaches them during high school. So I mean when people
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 18: see us, they still kind of trip out. But like
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 18: we are, our beef was for a season that long
