• 0:31
  Speaker 3: slaughter in the video recorded subway killing of Jordan Neely
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: earlier this month. Rest in peace to Jordan Neely. Now, look,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: everyone is innocent until proven guilty. All right, did Daniel
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Penny kill Jordan Neely? Yes, we saw that on video. It'
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: stup to a court a law to determine whether or
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: not what he did was a criminal act.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: All right, don't be mad at me. That's just the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: way the law works.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: So in a situation like this, uh, you know, I
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: see it, I mind my business, wait for the facts
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: to come out. But Daniel Penny gave his first interview
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: with The New York and I would never understand why
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: it's so hard.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: For people to just shut the f up.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Okay, maybe it's the caucasidy, maybe it's the unmelanated gaul.
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is that makes someone who
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: has just killed a man in front of the whole
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: world on video feel like they have to have a
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: conversation about it.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to have a conversation about.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: It, show some empathy for the family and the life
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: you took, show some remorse. But Nope, nobody clearly prepped
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: Daniel Penny on how to do any of those things.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: And maybe they don't have to because in the eyes
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: of America, this might be an easy call. Daniel Penny,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: white male military veteran hero saving people from Jordan, nearly
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: black mail, threatening mental health issues.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we see the narrative that's being painted.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: And another narrative that's being painted is that Daniel Penny
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: is a racist, And in this interview with The New
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: York Post, he pushed back on the notion that he
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: is indeed a white supremacist.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Fox News for the report place.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: The marine veteran accused in the choke hold death of
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: a homeless subway rider breaks his silence. Daniel Penny addressing
• 2:00
  Speaker 5: the incident on the subway to that that now has
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: him facing second degree manslaughter charges, telling the New York
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: Post quote, this had nothing to do with race. I
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: judge a person based on their character. I'm not a
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: white supremacist. I mean it's a little bit comical. Everybody
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: who's ever met me can tell you I love all people.
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: I love all cultures. You can tell by my past
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: and all of my travels and adventures around the world.
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: this happened.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: Daniel, your penny got a hole in it. Okay, you
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: sound hopeless. Word to Dione feris all the uncles and
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: aunties know who that is.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: All you youngin is googlely.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Here's some words you don't use to describe a murder, Okay,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: when you are charged with manslaughter. Comical, Okay, Daniel Penny said,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: it's a little bit comical to call him a racist. Daniel,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you're a racist or not, but
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: you have to overstand that some people are trying to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: figure out why you would just strangle a man on
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: the subway, okay, and a white man doing that to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: a black man in America, we are always going to
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: go to race for so it's not comical to think
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: you are racist.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It's context. Okay, historical context that day. Blame your ancestors
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: and racist piers for people jumping to that conclusion. But
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: that's not even the reason you're getting donkey today.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I mean, personally, you could have just left it at
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not racist.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I love all people, I love all coaches.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: But no, did y'all catch you the reason why you
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: couldn't be racist?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Listen, listen to this one again.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: I'm not a white supremacist. I mean it's a little
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: bit comical. Everybody who's ever met me can tell you
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I love all people, I love all cultures. You can
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: tell by my past and all of my travels and
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: trip through Africa before this happened.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: this happened. Not as comical, okay, a road trip through Africa.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: White people going to Africa is what makes them less racist.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Daniel Penny, do you know anything about the European colonization
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: of Africa? I mean, what do you want to call
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: it to scramble for Africa, the partition of Africa, the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: conquest of Africa, whatever you want.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: To call it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: It was the invasion and coolination of colonization of most
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: of Africa by several Western European powers. So a white
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: man visiting Africa doesn't mean they have tolerance for black people.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Planning to go to Africa doesn't in any way mean
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you don't suffer from white supremacy or racism. That's like
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: saying a man isn't fat because he goes to whole foods. Okay,
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: fat people have access to whole foods, like racists have
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: access to Africa. Okay, what's next, Daniel Penny, You're gonna
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: tell us that some of your best friends are black.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: You're gonna tell us you voted for Barack Obama twice. Oh,
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Black Pants is your favorite movie too, Daniel Penny, how
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: you cried went to Charlie and Queen Ramanda died? And
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: for the record, I'm not saying that Daniel Penny is racist.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: I have no idea what this man believes in his heart.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I just know that this is absolutely from Some of
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: my best friends are black. Playbook and another example of
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: how we can't have real conversations about race. Okay, I
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: think white people like Daniel Penny have superficial relationships with
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: black people, and he doesn't even understand how race plays
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: out in a black person's daily life. If he did,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: he would probably understand why folks are calling him a
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: racist for scrangling a black man to death on the train.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I'm just here to.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Tell y'all this morning that proximity to blackness does not
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: stop white people from doing racist things. I repeat, proximity
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: to blackness does not stop white people from doing racist things.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I know, New York Post you always trying to humanize
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Daniel Penny.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: But in humanizing him, how about keep him from keep
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: him from sounding stupid? Please letr me MA give Daniel
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Penny the biggest e ull he ha he ha.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: You stupid motherfucker? Are you dumb?
• 5:34

• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the dilemma.
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: Just has a dilemma, Just has some mess.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So what's what's what's the situation?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Just Okay, So look right, so I do this segment
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: called Jess with the Mess, and somebody wrote when you
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: do it that on Carefully Reckless my podcast which is
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: on the Black Effect under iHeartRadio.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Thank you chall man, like y'all like that, you tossed
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: it away all right?
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: I had somebody that write me, that wrote me that
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: said they're in a relationship with some relationship and their
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: current man had a previous relationship that he was in.
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: He was attached to a child in that relationship. Now
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the child is his child. No it's not. It's not
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: as biological child. And the child even knows her dad,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: and her dad is in her life, you know, not
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: the best dad, but nevertheless still knows in her life
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: right now. When he was with this girl, he did
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: a lot for the girl. He built the bond with
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: the child. They were only together for maybe like a
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: year and a half or so, but he was very
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: drawn to this child.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And even with them breaking.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Up, he goes to like her graduations and stuff like that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: And and the girl that wrote me, she has a
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: problem with it because he has a problem with the
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: bond that her and her baby father had. And apparently
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: her and her baby father are like me and Jerome,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: which is why she first wrote me yes, And she
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: wants to know is this a deal breaker because she
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: feels like it's manipulative for him for her current boyfriend
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: to use the situation. Oh well, look, well I ain't
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: gonna stop dealing with my my my and we can't
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: even say my step daughter because you're not you was

  Speaker 4: she's young, you know, and she's graduating from what's the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: name and the whole, I mean, from elementary school.
• 7:27

  Speaker 4: He was like, I want to go to the graduation
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: and me and her mother will be staying side by side,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: saying I'm.
• 7:33

• 7:39
  Speaker 3: new man?
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Is that what you're saying?
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, it ain't even that, it's just like because
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: she's saying that he uses it in like a manipulative way,
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: like whenever her and her because he feels like he
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: feels like she can't talk to our baby fop unless
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: it's about the child, like they do business together. When
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: I said they're like me and Rome, They're like me
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: and Rome. So they do business together, they're friends, they
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: do talk outside of their child.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Romas your brother, baby daddy.
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah that is, that's what it is, and and and
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: that's it, you know. But her boyfriend has an issue
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: with that. If it ain't about the child, it should't be.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: But nothing, you know.
