- 5:41Speaker 8: Okay, hold the top, what's up?
- 5:43Speaker 13: You know?
- 5:45Speaker 14: Okay, let's get into it. So first off front page,
- 5:47Speaker 14: let's coick up where we left off last week. President
- 5:49Speaker 14: Trump traveled to Kerrville, Texas on Friday for a first
- 5:52Speaker 14: and look at the flooding devastation. He and First Lady
- 5:55Speaker 14: Milania Trump met with officials, local officials, first responders, and
- 5:59Speaker 14: families of the impacted by the flooding. Now, the President
- 6:01Speaker 14: spoke about the lives lost. Let's take a listen to
- 6:04Speaker 14: his comments in Texas.
- 6:06Speaker 15: All the beautiful souls and we're filled with grief and devastation.
- 6:10Speaker 4: It is the loss of life.
- 6:13Speaker 8: And unfortunately they're still looking.
- 6:16Speaker 14: And meanwhile, crews in Central Texas have recently suspended the
- 6:20Speaker 14: search for flood victims as heavy rain continues to slam
- 6:23Speaker 14: the region, causing more flooding. The National Weather Service says
- 6:26Speaker 14: heavy thunderstorms move through the Hill Country region devastated by
- 6:30Speaker 14: the catastrophic flooding last week. Cities city officials and Curville
- 6:34Speaker 14: issued evacuation orders for some areas near the Guadalupe River,
- 6:38Speaker 14: calling it a dangerous and life threatening situation. Nearly one
- 6:41Speaker 14: hundred and thirty people are dead and over one hundred
- 6:43Speaker 14: and sixty still remain unaccounted for following that deadly July
- 6:47Speaker 14: fourth flooding event. Now, this of course brings a lot
- 6:51Speaker 14: of talk about the status of FEMA under this administration,
- 6:54Speaker 14: especially following this event in Texas. Now, Homeland Security Secretary
- 6:58Speaker 14: Christy Noam says President Trump does not want to dismantle FEMA,
- 7:01Speaker 14: but rather rework it. She made those comments in NBC's
- 7:05Speaker 14: Meet the Press, where while speaking to NBC's Meet the Press,
- 7:08Speaker 14: Nome says the President wants to wants the agency to
- 7:10Speaker 14: be better implemented. Let's take or listen to her comments
- 7:13Speaker 14: in part from that interview.
- 7:15Speaker 16: I think he wants it to be remade so that
- 7:17Speaker 16: it's an agency that is new in how it deploys
- 7:19Speaker 16: in supports states. The President recognizes that FEMA should not
- 7:23Speaker 16: exist the way that it always has been. It needs
- 7:25Speaker 16: to be redeployed in a new way.
- 7:28Speaker 14: Of course, Trump has been critical of FEMA in the past,
- 7:31Speaker 14: but has praised the agency's efforts amid the devastating floods
- 7:35Speaker 14: in central Texas.
- 7:36Speaker 12: Norm also dis miss claims that.
- 7:37Speaker 14: A rule change delayed FEMA's response in Texas as absolutely false.
- 7:43Speaker 14: Any thoughts on that guy snow and if case you
- 7:46Speaker 14: missed it, just a other natural disasters. Over the weekend,
- 7:50Speaker 14: the Grand Canyon was on fire. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs
- 7:54Speaker 14: is calling for an investigation into a white sage wildfire.
- 7:57Speaker 12: At the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.
- 7:59Speaker 14: The dragon brought fire has consumed five thousand acres since
- 8:02Speaker 14: lightning started the flames on Independence Day. It also burned
- 8:05Speaker 14: dozens of structures, including a historic Grand Canyon Lodge that
- 8:08Speaker 14: originally opened in nineteen thirty seven. The facility is the
- 8:12Speaker 14: only lodging inside of the park at Northrim. Hobbs said
- 8:16Speaker 14: what has happened demands intense oversight and scrutiny into federal
- 8:19Speaker 14: government emergency response, which goes back to what no one
- 8:23Speaker 14: was saying about FEMA and all of you know whether
- 8:25Speaker 14: or not those resources are readily available just in case,
- 8:29Speaker 14: you know, something happens. And going back to the Grand
- 8:31Speaker 14: Canyon Park, officials noted that North Rim residents and staff
- 8:34Speaker 14: were evacuated before the fire rapidly spread. So we're dealing
- 8:39Speaker 14: with some national disasters here. You guys want to keep
- 8:41Speaker 14: your eyes on a swivel. Make sure you pay attention
- 8:43Speaker 14: to your weather forecast, and you know what's going on
- 8:46Speaker 14: around you.

- 19:26Speaker 4: It's the latest on the Breakfast Club.
- 19:28Speaker 9: Talk to me, all right, y'all.
- 19:30Speaker 19: So there's been a lot of clips Talk and jack
- 19:33Speaker 19: Boys two, which is Travis Scott's album, dropped over the weekend,
- 19:37Speaker 19: and people were wondering if he was going to respond
- 19:39Speaker 19: at all to push your t who has been having
- 19:40Speaker 19: a lot of conversation about him own the music and
- 19:42Speaker 19: in the interviews.
- 19:43Speaker 4: I never wanted that. I wanted to cross my mind.
- 19:48Speaker 19: I think people were wondering if he was going to respond,
- 19:50Speaker 19: especially because it was rumored that Travis Scott originally was
- 19:53Speaker 19: suposed to drop on the same day as the clip,
- 19:54Speaker 19: and then Clips and then it pushed to Saturday.
- 19:56Speaker 8: I ain't even know that.
- 19:57Speaker 9: Yeah, so let's take a listen to Travis scott response.
- 20:02Speaker 4: Man, I swear to he's on to your kids. You
- 20:04Speaker 4: know my wife's film.
- 20:06Speaker 8: They just walked through real Me.
- 20:08Speaker 2: Yeah, Blue bol Gotta, I'm dodging TMZ, I'm pushing t's
- 20:12Speaker 2: now my phone on.
- 20:13Speaker 3: D N D Y.
- 20:16Speaker 9: Yeah. So that was the attempt to respond came and went, uh,
- 20:20Speaker 9: at Joe, I.
- 20:21Speaker 8: Don't know what you mean.
- 20:22Speaker 4: I don't have no idea what talking about. Yeah, I
- 20:24Speaker 4: don't know, did justin Bieber respond? So that real?
- 20:29Speaker 19: There was a there was a supposed to be offensive
- 20:31Speaker 19: page that posted something, but I don't know if that
- 20:33Speaker 19: was real.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Okay, it's fun to what to who clips.
- 20:37Speaker 19: Basically because he was basically saying something about, like, my
- 20:40Speaker 19: album is the only album you're supposed worry about this
- 20:42Speaker 19: week because he drops swag when everybody was kind of
- 20:44Speaker 19: like having clips conversations and trying to put theirself in
- 20:47Speaker 19: a conversation.
- 20:47Speaker 4: But go ahead, try two different demographics.
- 20:49Speaker 3: Hell yeah, like the clips and just like saying somebody
- 20:53Speaker 3: as old is not a disc okay, because getting old
- 20:55Speaker 3: is the goal.
- 20:55Speaker 4: You should want to live as long as possible.
- 20:57Speaker 3: And when you're getting better with age the way malice
- 21:00Speaker 3: and push your t off, that's that's not at this
- 21:02Speaker 3: You should hope you still sound that good at fifty
- 21:05Speaker 3: plus in late forties, yeah, like fifty two and I
- 21:09Speaker 3: think pushes with forty four or something like that, but
- 21:11Speaker 3: like forty eight, forty is hey.
- 21:14Speaker 8: Ain't that much younger than male's he look good?
- 21:16Speaker 4: They both get busy too well.
- 21:18Speaker 19: According to Drake, it doesn't matter how old you are
- 21:20Speaker 19: and if you get busy or not because if you're
- 21:22Speaker 19: not in London, you're not a good rapper.
- 21:24Speaker 9: So Drake was in London.
- 21:26Speaker 19: He did the Wireless Bessy did three days at the festival,
- 21:28Speaker 19: which amazing, like Brady is Drake, but he was on
- 21:32Speaker 19: stage and he says something that got people a little
- 21:33Speaker 19: bit upset.
- 21:34Speaker 9: Take a listen when I was.
- 21:35Speaker 21: Talking about my love from Love and London rappers the best,
- 21:40Speaker 21: the best risist in the world, Mark I was, nobody
- 21:45Speaker 21: says nobody can outrap loved it.
- 21:48Speaker 15: Nobody, no disrespect to, no disrespect of our country, but
- 21:53Speaker 15: nobody can out rap London rappers.
- 21:55Speaker 4: This is the best level.
- 21:57Speaker 22: This is what I aspire.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I was gravy about. That is London. Don't even believe that, right,
- 22:02Speaker 4: that's why London.
- 22:06Speaker 3: But Nah, he didn't.
- 22:08Speaker 4: He didn't even have to volunteer that lie.
- 22:10Speaker 3: Like Drake, you just sold out three days at Wireldless
- 22:14Speaker 3: Festival history that he did different songs every nightfferent day.
- 22:19Speaker 3: They was already eating out the palm of your hand.
- 22:21Speaker 3: You didn't have to lie like that, Like that was
- 22:23Speaker 3: just crazy. You already had him on you side.
- 22:25Speaker 8: Did he bring out any London artists?
- 22:30Speaker 19: Yeah, people started circulating like a screenshot of I guess
- 22:34Speaker 19: Drake had listed like his top five rappers at one point,
- 22:37Speaker 19: no one from London. According to the screenshot, it was
- 22:39Speaker 19: hol Wayne Young, Tony Andre three thousand baby, So of course, yeah,
- 22:45Speaker 19: people were having a conversation about that.
- 22:46Speaker 2: But then he just got caught in the moment on stage,
- 22:48Speaker 2: and yes, what it was either that of Kendrick kicked
- 22:50Speaker 2: his ass so much.
- 22:51Speaker 4: He hate all American rappers. I hate y'all, stick all
- 22:55Speaker 4: of y'all.
- 22:56Speaker 3: The way, he probably got caught somebody beating you up
- 23:00Speaker 3: so much that you don't want to play with nobody
- 23:02Speaker 3: from that country.
- 23:04Speaker 4: Everybody from the.
- 23:05Speaker 9: Old coming out just keeping it Compton.
- 23:08Speaker 4: They got better rappers than Compton rappers.
- 23:11Speaker 3: I don't agree with that either, but you know, that
- 23:13Speaker 3: would have made more sense Kendrick came up, wouldn't, but
- 23:17Speaker 3: I would have understood it, more understood the more.
- 23:18Speaker 19: M I Yet that would have made no sense at all, though,
- 23:21Speaker 19: But Kendrick came up at the wireless best Drake. Fans
- 23:23Speaker 19: wanted to have a conversation with Drake about Kendrick.
- 23:25Speaker 9: Let's take a listen.
- 23:27Speaker 21: This is the best opportunity I've ever been given.
- 23:30Speaker 13: Three nights in a row three.
- 23:32Speaker 21: Nights, headlining three different sets, three different voves.
- 23:37Speaker 4: Do you name another artist that can do it and
- 23:38Speaker 4: bring him up here?
- 23:39Speaker 15: We can class down anybody's no one.
- 23:43Speaker 4: I'm here for nobody only Drake. Drake, you know what
- 23:51Speaker 4: grabbed me a shot? I'll drinks to that.
- 23:53Speaker 3: Oh so he was a drunk, That's why he said
- 23:56Speaker 3: that stupid stuff about the UK rappers versus American rapper.
- 23:59Speaker 2: But Drake is one of the I would say, one
- 24:01Speaker 2: of the only rappers that can do a different vibe
- 24:03Speaker 2: every night because he can do the Afro B vibe.
- 24:05Speaker 4: He can get the R and B vibe one night
- 24:07Speaker 4: and the vibe. It's not too many artists that can do.
- 24:09Speaker 4: Sure he just said that though.
- 24:10Speaker 3: Yeah, so why take away from all of that by
- 24:12Speaker 3: saying something stupid and duffecating on the same people who
- 24:16Speaker 3: helped you get to where you are.
- 24:17Speaker 4: But that's essentially what you did.
- 24:19Speaker 3: I mean, it's one thing to have an opinion, and
- 24:21Speaker 3: you can have that opinion that you think UK rappers
- 24:23Speaker 3: are better, but we just know that's not true. And
- 24:25Speaker 3: to one of y'all just said, they named it said
- 24:28Speaker 3: he named the top top name no London rappers like, come.
- 24:30Speaker 4: On, you're not here because of London rappers.
- 24:33Speaker 19: I don't know if I ever just played a I mean,
- 24:34Speaker 19: I'm not from London, but I don't know if I've
- 24:36Speaker 19: ever just played a London rapper enough to be able
- 24:38Speaker 19: to argue this.
- 24:39Speaker 9: But people were really arguing about this over over the weekend.
- 24:41Speaker 8: They were really like.
- 24:45Speaker 19: Him, I just don't know their music enough, and I
- 24:47Speaker 19: didn't know so many people did. I felt so out
- 24:49Speaker 19: of the loop. I'm like, oh, I don't know y'all
- 24:50Speaker 19: were paying attention that much, like okay, But also on stage,
- 24:54Speaker 19: there was a moment where Drake was performing and he
- 24:57Speaker 19: was performing NonStop and during the l we had the audio,
- 25:01Speaker 19: but it's not going to sound good, so I just
- 25:02Speaker 19: explained it. During NonStop he switches his line, so he says,
- 25:06Speaker 19: how I go from six to twenty three?
- 25:08Speaker 9: No Lebron.
- 25:09Speaker 19: Of course, he's hurt still about the Lebron pop out situation,
- 25:12Speaker 19: but over the weekend fans also brought up the fact
- 25:15Speaker 19: that they noticed that he.
- 25:16Speaker 9: Covered it.
- 25:18Speaker 8: Really nice. Mans no more that time, I said, listen,
- 25:22Speaker 8: look at how I said. Somebody said, yo.
- 25:24Speaker 5: Drake and strip of Decisions Decisions Yo, he got he
- 25:27Speaker 5: got that man said it covid he got it sad covert.
- 25:30Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 25:31Speaker 19: So apparently Drake went and covered up the Lebron James
- 25:33Speaker 19: tattoo and replaced it with a tattoo honoring shy guilt.
- 25:38Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 25:39Speaker 9: Yeah, I'd always say his less thing wrong. H Yeah, Yes,
- 25:42Speaker 9: I thought that was crazy.
- 25:43Speaker 8: I got got the tattoo covet.
- 25:45Speaker 9: I thought that was I know that's your friend, Envy, but.
- 25:49Speaker 2: You have none of the people my friends. But I
- 25:51Speaker 2: will say that I thought it was weird when he
- 25:53Speaker 2: got a tattoo.
- 25:53Speaker 4: Of a man, look like anyway he should have never gotten.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Thought that was like I understand if you some people
- 26:00Speaker 2: look at the idols like they might, you know, tattooed
- 26:02Speaker 2: Bob or tattoo Michael Jackson or pray.
- 26:07Speaker 4: But unless you my mom my, Pops, my wife, I'm
- 26:11Speaker 4: not Does.
- 26:12Speaker 3: Drake have anybody from Canada on his body? Does he
- 26:15Speaker 3: have anybody that he actually came up with like his
- 26:17Speaker 3: actual friends?
- 26:19Speaker 4: Yes, like.
- 26:21Speaker 3: Get a tattooed Chops, she get a tattooed people that
- 26:25Speaker 3: you shouting out all the time, do you have tattoos
- 26:28Speaker 3: of them on you? I don't trust anybody whose friends
- 26:30Speaker 3: are all industry celebrity, and you loved him so much that.
- 26:33Speaker 4: You get in their tattoos chops.
- 26:34Speaker 9: Not industry celebrity though, But you said all industry celebrities.
- 26:42Speaker 3: I said, I don't trust anyone whose friends are all celebrities.
- 26:44Speaker 3: That's why I asked if he have anybody from Toronto
- 26:47Speaker 3: on his body and get a tattooed, because that's his
- 26:49Speaker 3: actual man.
- 26:50Speaker 9: Lauren, I missed it. I missed it. I missed it.

- 28:27Speaker 2: Charlamagne the guy, we are the Breakfast Club. Let's get
- 28:30Speaker 2: in some front page news now quick sports Serranto.
- 28:34Speaker 3: Charlamague went to her fight over the week and how
- 28:35Speaker 3: was her fight?
- 28:36Speaker 4: Oh, it's Toronald Taylor fight. I mean it was good.
- 28:38Speaker 3: It's probably the least exciting of all of the three
- 28:40Speaker 3: times that they fought, but it was I mean it
- 28:42Speaker 3: was a good fight.
- 28:42Speaker 4: You know, Toronto lost. It wasn't a good weekend for
- 28:46Speaker 4: Puerto Ricans and boxing.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Yeah, Edgar Belonga loss as well, absolutely, but Charkaos Stevenson
- 28:50Speaker 2: didn't win.
- 28:51Speaker 3: Driving the Club Stevenson, he looked great. I was a
- 28:55Speaker 3: little nervous for him, just a little bit, because I'm like, Chicole,
- 28:58Speaker 3: you don't have to prove nothing to these people. Like
- 29:00Speaker 3: these people will be saying that you like to run,
- 29:02Speaker 3: blah blah blah. You don't have to prove anything to them, Like,
- 29:04Speaker 3: we know you're a great defensive fighter, right, so go
- 29:07Speaker 3: out there and showcase that.
- 29:08Speaker 4: And he did.
- 29:09Speaker 3: But he also went in there and mixed it up
- 29:10Speaker 3: as well, so you know, he looked great. Sokos Stevens.
- 29:13Speaker 4: That's right. What's up, Morgan?
- 29:14Speaker 6: Hey?
- 29:14Speaker 14: I hey, So it's been a year since the assassination
- 29:17Speaker 14: attempt on president or then presidential candidate. He was a
- 29:21Speaker 14: presidential candidate at the time, Donald Trump and Butler Pennsylvania
- 29:24Speaker 14: while speaking over while speaking to over fifteen thousand rally
- 29:28Speaker 14: goers at the Butler Farm showground. Shot ranked shots rang out,
- 29:33Speaker 14: fired by a would be assassin on a nearby rooftop. Now,
- 29:36Speaker 14: Trump had just happened to turn his head to reference
- 29:39Speaker 14: a chart and the bullet whizzed by his ear and
- 29:43Speaker 14: grazed his ear. Now, let's take a listen to the
- 29:45Speaker 14: audio from that attempt on President Trump's life. Just a
- 29:47Speaker 14: disclaimer that this audio could be difficult for some to
- 29:50Speaker 14: listen to.
- 29:51Speaker 15: If you want to really see something that said, take
- 29:54Speaker 15: a look at what happened.
- 29:55Speaker 8: Over well, Resident Peace. That a guy actually got killed.
- 30:07Speaker 12: Yes, the father who lost his life, the volunteer firefighter.
- 30:11Speaker 12: Absolutely so Trump was left with a bloody ear.
- 30:13Speaker 14: Of course, there was that, as you mentioned, Jess a
- 30:15Speaker 14: volunteer firefighter who was killed in that incident, and three
- 30:18Speaker 14: others were wounded. The gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed
- 30:22Speaker 14: by Secret Service agents during that as well. Now here
- 30:25Speaker 14: we are a year later, in President Trump says he
- 30:27Speaker 14: is satisfied with the investigation that went into his attempted
- 30:30Speaker 14: assassination at that rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Let's take a
- 30:34Speaker 14: listen to the president's comments on Fox News They're.
- 30:36Speaker 6: Very talented, very capable. They had a bad day, and
- 30:39Speaker 6: I think I'll admit that had a rough day. But
- 30:42Speaker 6: they briefed me and I'm satisfied with it. To other
- 30:45Speaker 6: one mistakes made and that you know, shouldn't have happened.
- 30:49Speaker 12: So Trump told Fox News he's been briefed by multiple
- 30:51Speaker 12: agencies and although he's acknowledged the Secret Service breakdowns, he
- 30:55Speaker 12: still has the utmost respect for the agency and trust
- 30:58Speaker 12: in his agents. Recently, six Secret Service agents on his
- 31:02Speaker 12: detail were suspended for that incident. Following that incident tm SO.
- 31:08Speaker 14: Meanwhile, on the topic of immigration and ice, Borderzar Tom
- 31:11Speaker 14: Holman is speaking out after a federal judge in LA
- 31:14Speaker 14: halted immigration raids in the city of LA and Los Angeles.
- 31:18Speaker 14: Now appearing on CNN State of the Union home and
- 31:20Speaker 14: said the judge is overstepping their authority. Let's take a listen.
- 31:24Speaker 12: I don't think any federal judge can dictate immigration policy.
- 31:28Speaker 17: That's a matter for congressman, for the President, and I
- 31:30Speaker 17: know Department of Justice is going to litigate this. We
- 31:32Speaker 17: won't take it to the pills card.
- 31:33Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 31:34Speaker 14: So the order bars agents from relying on race, language,
- 31:38Speaker 14: spoken type of work, or location when detaining suspects, saying
- 31:43Speaker 14: you need a little more than that.
- 31:44Speaker 12: Attorneys with Public.
- 31:46Speaker 14: Counsel and the ACLU argued recent ice operations in the
- 31:50Speaker 14: Los Angeles area amounted to racial profiling and speaking of immigration,
- 31:56Speaker 14: Democratic lawmakers touring Florida's Alligator Alcatraz detention facility on Saturday
- 32:02Speaker 14: say the conditions are inhumane. Now, this Alligator Alcatraz facility
- 32:06Speaker 14: is located what many say is kind of like in
- 32:08Speaker 14: a swamp area, and it's just not the best place
- 32:11Speaker 14: for any facility to be in. Representative Maxwell Frost said
- 32:16Speaker 14: that had this to say afterward, and also fellow Florida
- 32:20Speaker 14: Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz also noted how the detainees are
- 32:24Speaker 14: packed into cages, often nearly three dozen at a time.
- 32:27Speaker 14: Let's take a listen to Florida Representatives Maxwell Frost and
- 32:31Speaker 14: Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
- 32:32Speaker 1: We saw people, of course yelling for help. We even
- 32:35Speaker 1: heard in the background someone yell I'm an American citizen.
- 32:39Speaker 1: They started chanting leave it dot, freedom, liberty.
- 32:44Speaker 3: They are essentially packed into cages wall to.
- 32:48Speaker 23: Wall humans thirty two detainees per cage.
- 32:53Speaker 14: So the lawmaker said they had intended to visit the
- 32:56Speaker 14: site unannounced and believed a controlled thirty minute tour was
- 32:59Speaker 14: a ran after the state became aware of their plans.
- 33:02Speaker 14: Wasserman Schultz says Florida Governor Ronde Santus could have picked
- 33:05Speaker 14: anywhere in the state to build a detention center and
- 33:08Speaker 14: had it built in one of the.
- 33:10Speaker 12: Worst possible spots.
- 33:11Speaker 14: So yeah, it looks like we will continue to watch
- 33:14Speaker 14: out and see what's going on with ice and immigration
- 33:17Speaker 14: events across the country, whether it be in Florida or
- 33:21Speaker 14: whether it be in LA and California. So I'll keep
- 33:25Speaker 14: you guys posted as to what's going on with that.
- 33:28Speaker 8: But that's your front page.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Well, you know, you know, I want to say I
- 33:30Speaker 3: think that liberal media should never stop asking questions about
- 33:34Speaker 3: the Epstein List. Okay, liberal media should treat the Epstein
- 33:37Speaker 3: list the way Republicans treated the transgender.
- 33:40Speaker 4: And sports issue, like they never let it go.
- 33:42Speaker 3: Like liberal media should never ever stop talking about it
- 33:45Speaker 3: because it's the only thing that can build a bridge.
- 33:46Speaker 4: Between them in the MAGA base that so many of
- 33:50Speaker 4: them have been trying to get.
- 33:51Speaker 3: All right, forget them, corny ass podcast Gavin Newsoen was
- 33:54Speaker 3: doing when you're trying to talk to both sides. Nothing
- 33:57Speaker 3: brings people together like conspiracy theories, and it's one thing
- 34:00Speaker 3: or one conspiracy Republican the Democrats can agree on. There
- 34:04Speaker 3: is a cover up happening with the Epstein List, and
- 34:06Speaker 3: liberal media should never ever stop talking about it. They
- 34:09Speaker 3: should never stop asking questions about it. Don't let them
- 34:12Speaker 3: flood his own and make you forget about that issue.
- 34:14Speaker 3: Could I heard you talking about a whole lot of
- 34:16Speaker 3: Trump this morning?
- 34:17Speaker 4: All right, we'll bring that up.
- 34:19Speaker 14: All right, Well, let's get into it real quick. I
- 34:21Speaker 14: will talk about Trump and the Epstein List. So President
- 34:23Speaker 14: Trump claims that he is still confident and Deputy FBI
- 34:26Speaker 14: Director Dan Bongino, despite recent internal fighting over handling of
- 34:31Speaker 14: the files related to Jeffrey Epstein.
- 34:33Speaker 12: Trump was asked on Sunday if Bongino.
- 34:35Speaker 14: Was still in his position and if the pair recently spoke,
- 34:38Speaker 14: to which Trump said Bongino and him spoke on Sunday
- 34:42Speaker 14: and that he was in good shape. On Friday, multiple
- 34:44Speaker 14: news outlets reported that Bongino was debating whether to resign
- 34:48Speaker 14: from his position. The dj and FBI issued a joint
- 34:51Speaker 14: memo last week looking to counter claims about Epstein's long
- 34:56Speaker 14: promoted about Epstein, long promoted by conservative media figures now
- 35:01Speaker 14: including Bongino and FBI A director Cash Fattel. Now, the
- 35:05Speaker 14: memo said Epstein did not have a client list, even
- 35:08Speaker 14: though Attorney General Pam Bondi said earlier this year it
- 35:11Speaker 14: was on her desk for review.
- 35:13Speaker 12: So to your point, but I'm watching the situation.
- 35:15Speaker 14: I try not to, you know, give y'all too much
- 35:17Speaker 14: without having everything, or at least a lot of it.
- 35:21Speaker 14: You've got the conspiracy theories going, but you know, you
- 35:23Speaker 14: want to get all the facts.
- 35:25Speaker 4: And Trump also defended PM Bondi.
- 35:27Speaker 3: Pambondi is the one that looked like she lied the
- 35:30Speaker 3: most because she said that Epstein list was on her desk.
- 35:34Speaker 4: Exist now and.
- 35:35Speaker 3: Trump posted this weekend that it's the democrats fault. The
- 35:38Speaker 3: Democrats made up this lie in this room.
- 35:41Speaker 4: No they didn't.
- 35:43Speaker 3: That's why I said liberal media should should never stop
- 35:47Speaker 3: asking questions about the Epstein list treated the way MAGA
- 35:51Speaker 3: treated the transgender sports issue.
- 35:53Speaker 14: Yeah, but yeah, I'm watching trust and believe I'm watching
- 35:57Speaker 14: paying attention. But that's okay, you welcome, but that's your
- 36:00Speaker 14: front page news. I'm Morgan would follow me on socials

- 37:01Speaker 13: Sundown Media Group and Media and Technology Group. So that's Essence.
- 37:07Speaker 13: Refinery twenty nine, Afropunk Beauty Con and a few other
- 37:11Speaker 13: media assets, Sundial Financial, which is new voices fun in
- 37:18Speaker 13: which we invest in in businesses, one of the largest
- 37:23Speaker 13: investors in black owned businesses and people of color.
- 37:28Speaker 4: And then the consumer we have sun Now consumers.
- 37:31Speaker 13: So some of you guys know us for the brands
- 37:34Speaker 13: that we've built like Shade Moisture and then and Heritage
- 37:37Speaker 13: and Madam C. J.
- 37:39Speaker 4: Walker and now some of the newer brand like Alafia
- 37:42Speaker 4: and some of those things.
- 37:43Speaker 13: So we we we play across the economic landscape of culture.
- 37:51Speaker 3: And also if I'm not minatake, you said africon, I
- 37:54Speaker 3: mean Afro Afro punk, apropunk, okay, and a beauty con Listen,
- 37:59Speaker 3: he said, Okay, I'm just.
- 38:00Speaker 4: Making sure man.
- 38:01Speaker 3: I'm the reasoning I want to stress that is because
- 38:03Speaker 3: you said you got to come in here every couple
- 38:04Speaker 3: of years to explain yourself. But I want people to
- 38:06Speaker 3: know who you are, and I want them to know
- 38:08Speaker 3: how important you are to a lot not just you
- 38:11Speaker 3: know yourself, but to a lot of other black companies
- 38:14Speaker 3: than Black.
- 38:14Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 38:15Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, I mean we've invested in probably at this point,
- 38:20Speaker 13: well over one hundred black businesses. One of the last
- 38:23Speaker 13: times I was here now one of the last times
- 38:25Speaker 13: with the time before the last time, I came in
- 38:28Speaker 13: here and we're talking about me selling Shae Oisture, and
- 38:33Speaker 13: I said to you guys, I'm selling this company because
- 38:36Speaker 13: I am going to unlock wealth that's never been seen
- 38:39Speaker 13: in our community before.
- 38:40Speaker 4: I'm going to invest that wealth back in our community.
- 38:43Speaker 4: And you did it. I did that right. Six years later,
- 38:46Speaker 4: seven years later, Not only have we done that, we've.
- 38:49Speaker 13: Now had four or five exits that have delivered more
- 38:53Speaker 13: than a billion dollars back into black families in this country.
- 38:57Speaker 4: So very very proud of the journey that we're on.
- 39:00Speaker 13: And uh, but every once in a while, you know,
- 39:03Speaker 13: we don't get it one hundred percent right.
- 39:05Speaker 4: But what we do do is come back and fix
- 39:07Speaker 4: it and get it one hundred percent right. So that's
- 39:11Speaker 4: and I do want to say it's very important.
- 39:13Speaker 3: What you do and have done is so important and
- 39:17Speaker 3: even more important now when you see all these DEI
- 39:19Speaker 3: initiatives getting rolled back, when you see these fundings, when
- 39:22Speaker 3: you see this funding for these black organizations and black
- 39:25Speaker 3: companies getting cut. All we gonna have is us that's
- 39:28Speaker 3: to invest back in each other.
- 39:29Speaker 4: That's it. That's it.
- 39:30Speaker 13: You know, and and part of that is if you
- 39:33Speaker 13: don't create wealth, we don't have us to invest back
- 39:36Speaker 13: in each other, right, then we're constantly needing to have
- 39:40Speaker 13: other people support us to I mean, look, you know,
- 39:43Speaker 13: we've got changes in healthcare coming, right, We've got changes
- 39:50Speaker 13: in our abilities to get an education.
- 39:54Speaker 4: It's going to cost it.
- 39:54Speaker 13: We're going to have fewer opportunities and higher costs.
- 39:58Speaker 7: Right.
- 39:59Speaker 13: The only thing that we can control is our economic destiny,
- 40:03Speaker 13: and so I'm fiercely protective of that because if we
- 40:09Speaker 13: don't have that, we've got we've got nothing. And to
- 40:12Speaker 13: do that, we've got to build big businesses.
- 40:15Speaker 4: We've got to.
- 40:16Speaker 13: Build infrastructure to support those businesses.
- 40:19Speaker 4: And we've got to train up people so that they
- 40:21Speaker 4: can run those businesses. Right, all things that we all know.
- 40:25Speaker 13: Are missing from our community infrastructure today. So we've got
- 40:29Speaker 13: a lot of work to do, and we're here to
- 40:32Speaker 13: do the work now.
- 40:33Speaker 2: Of course, trendon on the last couple of days was
- 40:35Speaker 2: the Essence Festival yep thirty first Essence Festival. Some people
- 40:39Speaker 2: were upset, some people were mad about timing. Some people
- 40:43Speaker 2: said it wasn't as packed as it usually is.
- 40:45Speaker 4: They were mad that target was a sponsor.
- 40:47Speaker 2: So I know you're here today to break some of
- 40:49Speaker 2: that down. So, yeah, what happened I guess Essence Festival.
- 40:53Speaker 4: Wee can.
- 40:54Speaker 13: So, first of all, a lot of the criticism is warranted,
- 40:58Speaker 13: a lot of it is not right. There's always an
- 41:02Speaker 13: explanation for things that go wrong, and people are always
- 41:07Speaker 13: excited to take credit for things that go right.
- 41:09Speaker 4: Right. My job is to balance that all out, right.
- 41:14Speaker 13: So we have an incredible team that's running Essence Festival.
- 41:17Speaker 13: They have built something that when you look at it,
- 41:21Speaker 13: if you look at the scale of what it is today,
- 41:24Speaker 13: that competes against the best in the world, right, without
- 41:28Speaker 13: the resources of the best in the world, right, and
- 41:31Speaker 13: without the access that the best in the world has, right.
- 41:35Speaker 13: So I'm extremely proud of that team. I'm also proud
- 41:38Speaker 13: of the fact that they took risks that we don't
- 41:41Speaker 13: normally get to take in order to build something better,
- 41:45Speaker 13: and some of those risks worked out exceptionally well. Like
- 41:50Speaker 13: you go into the convention center, extraordinary, right. We had
- 41:55Speaker 13: problems in production with the mics that happens seems to
- 42:00Speaker 13: happen more in the super dome or in domes rather,
- 42:04Speaker 13: but we had problems there those problems will be addressed
- 42:08Speaker 13: because they are easily addressable. There's reasons for why that
- 42:12Speaker 13: happened at some point. We can get into that if
- 42:14Speaker 13: you want to. But look, we had over forty acts
- 42:19Speaker 13: over the three day weekend in the Superdome. Right, best
- 42:24Speaker 13: talent in the world, and they deserve the best acoustics,
- 42:29Speaker 13: they deserve the best production, and we'll give that to them.
- 42:32Speaker 13: We've given that to them for thirty years. This thirty
- 42:36Speaker 13: first year, we didn't do as good a job as
- 42:39Speaker 13: we normally do, and next year we'll do a better
- 42:42Speaker 13: job than we've ever done because we've learned what the
- 42:45Speaker 13: issues were.
- 42:45Speaker 4: So why would Lauren Hill so late? She said it
- 42:48Speaker 4: wasn't her fault. Absolutely was not her fault, She says.
- 42:51Speaker 3: She thanks y'all for actually stepping up and saying it
- 42:53Speaker 3: wasn't a fair Well, our job is to protect black women.
- 42:56Speaker 13: We're not gonna sit here and say, hey, you know,
- 42:58Speaker 13: because she's taking the heat for we're going to be
- 43:00Speaker 13: quiet because that's just not that's not what we are,
- 43:03Speaker 13: that's not what essence it's about, that's not what we're building.
- 43:07Speaker 13: There were there were production issues with the audio video
- 43:12Speaker 13: system that caused the delay in her performance. We own that, right,
- 43:17Speaker 13: those delays were primarily because we've been very aggressive in
- 43:24Speaker 13: as I said earlier, our job is to develop the
- 43:27Speaker 13: infrastructure that drives black businesses, right, So we also want
- 43:32Speaker 13: to make sure that we're investing in the local businesses
- 43:36Speaker 13: in New Orleans, right. And so our partner, our production partner,
- 43:42Speaker 13: from our mandate and my team's directive, which which again
- 43:46Speaker 13: we're very proud that we're able to do this. You know,
- 43:49Speaker 13: one of the things that that that that is also
- 43:53Speaker 13: satisfying but scary, is that there are no more black
- 43:58Speaker 13: festivals around, right. We're about the only independent one left, right.
- 44:04Speaker 13: And so what that means is that the people that
- 44:07Speaker 13: get to produce these festivals fewer and fewer and fewer
- 44:10Speaker 13: of them have the resources and the access and the
- 44:14Speaker 13: ability to run these large festivals because they're not getting
- 44:17Speaker 13: those opportunities.
- 44:19Speaker 4: Right. I said to my team a year ago, is
- 44:22Speaker 4: we need to go out and find the.
- 44:24Speaker 13: Types of partners that we can develop and grow so
- 44:27Speaker 13: that they have the opportunities to do these right. We
- 44:31Speaker 13: probably should have been a little bit more thoughtful in
- 44:34Speaker 13: the execution of that, but at the end of the day,
- 44:37Speaker 13: I'm proud of the fact that they took the risk right.
- 44:40Speaker 13: Next year we will have a local, well trained, well
- 44:45Speaker 13: developed partner in that area because we got the experience
- 44:50Speaker 13: we had this year.
- 44:51Speaker 3: Y'all doesn't have the right production team to pull off
- 44:55Speaker 3: a concert of that scale base for the sound. Yes, however,
- 44:59Speaker 3: our job is to train them up. It's not their fault, right,
- 45:03Speaker 3: it's our fault. Rest assured that will not happen again.
- 45:06Speaker 4: The Roses here as well.
- 45:07Speaker 2: We're still kicking it with the chairman and CEO of Essence,
- 45:10Speaker 2: Rich Dennis Lauren.
- 45:12Speaker 19: I was gonna ask you the production group company that
- 45:14Speaker 19: you're talking about, is that separate from the Solomon Group company,
- 45:17Speaker 19: because there was articles about them working with you guys,
- 45:19Speaker 19: and people throwing a lot of blame on the Solomon
- 45:20Speaker 19: Group people too.
- 45:21Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, at the end of the day, it's
- 45:24Speaker 13: not any of our partner's fault. It is our fault
- 45:27Speaker 13: because we hire them, we pay them, we manage them,
- 45:30Speaker 13: and it's our job to make sure that everything is
- 45:32Speaker 13: delivered properly.
- 45:33Speaker 4: I'm not gonna sit here.
- 45:34Speaker 13: And say that if a Solomon Group's foalder is this
- 45:36Speaker 13: group's father as that group.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Ball, right, richire a nice guy at the end of
- 45:39Speaker 2: the day. Well, if I pay you to do sound,
- 45:41Speaker 2: I'm not a sound guy. It sounds supposed to be right.
- 45:43Speaker 2: I'm paying you a certain amount of money. The sound
- 45:45Speaker 2: supposed to be perfect. That's what you're paying for. You
- 45:46Speaker 2: don't sit there with the mics and it just levels
- 45:48Speaker 2: and stuff like you pay somebody artist.
- 45:50Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the other thing I kept hearing. I
- 45:52Speaker 3: kept hearing people was, you know late first, let me
- 45:54Speaker 3: take this right. It's not that I'm a nice guy.
- 45:57Speaker 3: Is that I am trying to build something that's last.
- 46:00Speaker 3: If I don't invest in people and I don't have
- 46:02Speaker 3: the patience with.
- 46:03Speaker 13: Them, plenty people allowed me to fail, right, And because
- 46:07Speaker 13: they allowed me to fail, I'm where I'm at today.
- 46:10Speaker 4: Right.
- 46:11Speaker 13: My job and the role that I see myself playing
- 46:14Speaker 13: is to make sure that when somebody fails, I'm there
- 46:17Speaker 13: to pick them up, right, Because that's the other thing
- 46:21Speaker 13: that we don't have the luxury of as black people.
- 46:23Speaker 13: We get one shot, right and then you walk away.
- 46:26Speaker 13: So we're gonna take the hit. We will deal with
- 46:29Speaker 13: our internal partners. Our internal partners will step up and
- 46:33Speaker 13: if they then don't step up to the plate, then
- 46:37Speaker 13: they will be gone. But it will not be because
- 46:40Speaker 13: they made a mistake here. It will be because they
- 46:43Speaker 13: haven't been able to learn from those messas right. You
- 46:46Speaker 13: you you are asking the tardiness.
- 46:49Speaker 3: And I read the open letter that you know, Stephanie
- 46:52Speaker 3: Mills wrote, and you know, I love God, bless her God.
- 46:57Speaker 4: And what she said was, you know she's a professional,
- 46:58Speaker 4: this is an o G veteran in the game.
- 47:00Speaker 3: She said, The challenges I encountered were multifaceted, and then
- 47:03Speaker 3: my view indicative of broader organizational shortcomings. The scheduling and
- 47:07Speaker 3: time management were severely lacking, creating a chaotic and stress
- 47:10Speaker 3: stressful environment backstage, she said, beyond the logistical issues, the
- 47:14Speaker 3: technical difficulties was what we just talked about.
- 47:16Speaker 4: The sound system, she said, all that was deeply problematic. Yeah,
- 47:19Speaker 4: she said it. There's nothing that, There's nothing to argue there, right,
- 47:23Speaker 4: The I guess the why is what I'm asking.
- 47:25Speaker 13: Well, I think I think the why is one scale, right,
- 47:30Speaker 13: And when you have when you start with the technical issues,
- 47:34Speaker 13: as you guys are in this business, things have a
- 47:37Speaker 13: way of having domino effects and they impact they impact
- 47:41Speaker 13: other things.
- 47:42Speaker 4: Right, So we're tracking all of that down.
- 47:45Speaker 13: Whether it's Smith's Mills, or it's the security guard on
- 47:50Speaker 13: the floor, or whether wherever it is. We're talking to everybody,
- 47:55Speaker 13: and uh, we're making the adjustments that we need that
- 47:58Speaker 13: we need to make.
- 48:00Speaker 3: Understand what you're saying as far as production, because you
- 48:03Speaker 3: know we deal with that, especially in radio a lot
- 48:06Speaker 3: of times. Right, You're giving people an opportunity. You're giving
- 48:09Speaker 3: people a chance, but they may not have the experience.
- 48:12Speaker 3: And you said you got to train them up. But man,
- 48:15Speaker 3: when you got something that needs to hit the ground running,
- 48:17Speaker 3: I can't teach you how to run. I need you
- 48:19Speaker 3: already know how to run.
- 48:20Speaker 13: Yeah, yeah, well you know, and a lot of times
- 48:23Speaker 13: too because we don't get the opportunities. We may know
- 48:28Speaker 13: how to run, but we may be rusty. Right, I
- 48:30Speaker 13: may not have done it in a year or a
- 48:32Speaker 13: year and now, so things slip, Right, I may have
- 48:35Speaker 13: I may have new team members that haven't really run
- 48:37Speaker 13: it with me before.
- 48:38Speaker 4: So I've got it. I've got to figure out how
- 48:41Speaker 4: to do that.
- 48:41Speaker 13: So this isn't anything new to this business, or to
- 48:45Speaker 13: the to the the music or the festival business, but
- 48:49Speaker 13: I think it is particularly heightened because we care about
- 48:54Speaker 13: the people that we care about, and the people that
- 48:56Speaker 13: we serve.
- 48:58Speaker 4: Care deeply about what it is we're doing.
- 49:00Speaker 13: Right, So this this criticism, I don't take it as
- 49:04Speaker 13: criticism to criticize, although there is some of that, right,
- 49:07Speaker 13: there's some piling on this all that, but that's that's
- 49:09Speaker 13: part of the game. But people really care about what
- 49:14Speaker 13: essence means to them and it's a source of pride
- 49:16Speaker 13: for them, right, So we have to deliver that. That's
- 49:19Speaker 13: why I'm here, right, So we have to be able
- 49:21Speaker 13: to deliver that. We have to deliver that excellence every day.
- 49:25Speaker 13: And so you know, five hundred things may go right,
- 49:28Speaker 13: and one thing may go wrong, or two things or
- 49:30Speaker 13: ten things may go wrong. We owe it to ourselves
- 49:34Speaker 13: to say, hey, this isn't working and be.
- 49:37Speaker 3: For us to correct it. I want to talk to
- 49:39Speaker 3: you about Target. I totally get you need targets dollars
- 49:44Speaker 3: to even do this event. You don't have to explain that.
- 49:47Speaker 3: But was that a tough decision being that you know
- 49:51Speaker 3: the Jamal Bryant, the Tamika Mallory's, the Nina Turners have
- 49:54Speaker 3: you know staged this boycott against Target that a lot
- 49:57Speaker 3: of people are participating the Yeah, so this wasn't a hey,
- 50:01Speaker 3: we decided to go with Target against the boycott, or hey,
- 50:04Speaker 3: we decided to go with the boycott against Target.
- 50:06Speaker 4: Right.
- 50:07Speaker 13: The decision, first of all was we already had a
- 50:10Speaker 13: contract prior to all of this four years now, and
- 50:15Speaker 13: they've been good partners, right, They've they've done what they've
- 50:18Speaker 13: told us they were going to do. At festival, Brian Cornell,
- 50:22Speaker 13: their CEO, came on the ground, He's like, look, I
- 50:24Speaker 13: want to see the people.
- 50:25Speaker 4: I want to talk to the people. I want to understand.
- 50:28Speaker 13: But he also shared that we haven't stopped doing the
- 50:33Speaker 13: things that we had committed to. We're going to complete
- 50:36Speaker 13: We've made a two billion dollar commitment that was who
- 50:41Speaker 13: the black community, but.
- 50:42Speaker 3: Isn't at the whole point of the whole point of
- 50:44Speaker 3: the protest is that because they rolled back to DEI initiatives.
- 50:47Speaker 4: But they haven't you know, done those things from what
- 50:51Speaker 4: I've been told.
- 50:52Speaker 13: No, So what he shared was that they actually never
- 50:56Speaker 13: stopped those things, right, They're they're two billion dollars commitment.
- 51:00Speaker 13: He said that they are going to complete that two
- 51:03Speaker 13: billion dollar commitment at the by the end of this year.
- 51:06Speaker 4: They just can't label the DOCIA a Trump I'm not
- 51:09Speaker 4: going to get into the politics of it.
- 51:12Speaker 13: What I what I can say though, is that they
- 51:14Speaker 13: have shown me and provided evidence that they have continued
- 51:18Speaker 13: that they've continued those programs.
- 51:19Speaker 4: They've continued their.
- 51:20Speaker 13: HBCU program and the scholarships, they've continued their their their
- 51:25Speaker 13: their dollar commitments.
- 51:27Speaker 22: Right.
- 51:27Speaker 13: So, for our decision making was based on the economic
- 51:34Speaker 13: impact or the or the inadvertent economic impact that we're
- 51:39Speaker 13: seeing in the black businesses. So if that convention center
- 51:43Speaker 13: didn't happen, there's two hundred vendors that would have lost
- 51:48Speaker 13: their income for that weekend, right, which, as I said earlier,
- 51:52Speaker 13: for some of them, is the bulk of their income.
- 51:54Speaker 13: There are retail there are brands that have been preparing
- 52:00Speaker 13: all year to have a showcase to get retail distribution
- 52:05Speaker 13: greater than that is they've already made the investments, right,
- 52:08Speaker 13: Some of these people have not some of the many
- 52:12Speaker 13: of them, Because where do we go to get funding
- 52:14Speaker 13: in our community when we need to build.
- 52:17Speaker 4: A business today? You go for me? Right.
- 52:20Speaker 13: Part of what they use this weekend for is to
- 52:23Speaker 13: recoup the investments that they've made.
- 52:26Speaker 4: So how do they get these investments?
- 52:28Speaker 13: They're taking our second mortgages on their homes, they're drawing
- 52:32Speaker 13: down on their for one case, they're borring from their
- 52:36Speaker 13: neighbors and their friends and their family. Go for every
- 52:39Speaker 13: single person here, right, right, and if they don't get
- 52:44Speaker 13: these opportunities, what happens to them? So the boycott is
- 52:50Speaker 13: focused on the civil rights platform, I'm focused on the
- 52:53Speaker 13: economic rights platform. That's what I've done my entire career, right,
- 52:56Speaker 13: thirty something years now, almost forty years.
- 52:59Speaker 4: This is what I've done, right.
- 53:00Speaker 13: I started when I was nineteen years old, right, so
- 53:04Speaker 13: almost forty years. It's kind of crazy to think, right,
- 53:07Speaker 13: but that's all I've done, right, All I've done is
- 53:09Speaker 13: build businesses that invest back in black communities and develop
- 53:14Speaker 13: new businesses that can then stand on their own. So
- 53:17Speaker 13: I'm looking, I'm faced with this and I'm seeing the
- 53:21Speaker 13: impact that this is not just having here but also
- 53:24Speaker 13: on shelf. So yeah, the boycott, there is no doubt
- 53:29Speaker 13: about it. Our voice has been heard, fantastic, Right.
- 53:33Speaker 4: My question is what next? Right? And how do we now?
- 53:38Speaker 13: How do we now protect those businesses that have been
- 53:42Speaker 13: impacted because targets, traffic may be down, right.
- 53:46Speaker 4: Their revenue may be down, but think about those I
- 53:51Speaker 4: don't know how many there has.
- 53:52Speaker 13: I know that we're involved with maybe twenty businesses in
- 53:57Speaker 13: that sells to target at other retailers, but we're talking
- 54:01Speaker 13: specifically here. Some of them their businesses are down more
- 54:04Speaker 13: than fifty percent. Some of them their business the average
- 54:07Speaker 13: is around thirty percent.
- 54:08Speaker 4: Right, the black owned business target right.
- 54:12Speaker 13: Because the traffic isn't there. The boycott I think has
- 54:17Speaker 13: served its purpose. I think it has been one that
- 54:20Speaker 13: showed our economic might, It showed our voice, It showed
- 54:24Speaker 13: that we can be we can be united.
- 54:27Speaker 4: I'm all for that right. But what I have to
- 54:29Speaker 4: think about is how I make.
- 54:31Speaker 13: Sure that these people and these businesses that have made
- 54:35Speaker 13: these investments survive through this.
- 54:37Speaker 4: Until all of that is the.
- 54:38Speaker 2: Result, We're still kicking it with the chairman and CEO
- 54:41Speaker 2: of Essence, Rich Dennis Charlamagne.
- 54:43Speaker 3: Can you move on from a boycott if a demand
- 54:45Speaker 3: hadn't been met them? Again, if you have the whole
- 54:48Speaker 3: point of boycott is because you have demand. The target
- 54:50Speaker 3: hasn't met those demands. Why should we tell people to
- 54:52Speaker 3: move on if they have not met those if they
- 54:55Speaker 3: haven't meant thal demands, why should we tell the protest.
- 54:57Speaker 10: Is to move on?
- 54:58Speaker 13: I haven't told anybody, right, sounds like you're saying that
- 55:01Speaker 13: just no, No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm
- 55:04Speaker 13: saying is that my responsibility, the place that I've lived
- 55:08Speaker 13: my life is in building out that ecosystem.
- 55:12Speaker 3: Just from your standpoint, Just Essence, right, not the black
- 55:15Speaker 3: owned businesses within Target, Just Essence and Essence Festival. If
- 55:18Speaker 3: you would have said, you know what, I'm listening to
- 55:20Speaker 3: the protesters Target, I don't want you to be a
- 55:22Speaker 3: sponsor this hit.
- 55:23Speaker 4: How would that have impacted y'all business? Because I know
- 55:25Speaker 4: you had a contract.
- 55:26Speaker 13: Well, we have a we have a contract, so that
- 55:27Speaker 13: that would that would impact our business? I tell you
- 55:30Speaker 13: something else, Right, There's many others that have either pulled
- 55:35Speaker 13: out of supporting.
- 55:36Speaker 4: Black media and and and black businesses.
- 55:40Speaker 13: There are many others that have cut down what they have,
- 55:44Speaker 13: what their commitments had been, or or where they have
- 55:47Speaker 13: where they have invested before. So it's not just this
- 55:51Speaker 13: isn't just an issue that's related just to Target, right,
- 55:56Speaker 13: This is an issue that you know, we've had partners.
- 55:58Speaker 4: You know that didn't come.
- 56:00Speaker 13: Ford didn't come back, right, Delta didn't come. There's partners
- 56:04Speaker 13: in it, but we still put on the same, the
- 56:06Speaker 13: same show. We still put on the same, the same event.
- 56:09Speaker 13: So we're gonna ride for our community.
- 56:11Speaker 4: Right.
- 56:11Speaker 13: We knew we were going to take a loss going
- 56:13Speaker 13: into this, but it's better to me that we take
- 56:16Speaker 13: a loss and that those those that community, that business community,
- 56:20Speaker 13: the broader community of New Orleans, the broader community that
- 56:23Speaker 13: comes to Essence Festival has an extraordinary experience.
- 56:27Speaker 4: We did have hiccups. Yeah, why didn't those companies come back?
- 56:30Speaker 4: Some of them have? Have they got rid of they
- 56:32Speaker 4: got rid of the black programs.
- 56:34Speaker 13: There's no money, there's no there's nobody right, you know,
- 56:38Speaker 13: But this is the new world that we live in,
- 56:40Speaker 13: and I think it's very important that we are that
- 56:45Speaker 13: we're moving forward. Like we can't just we can't just
- 56:48Speaker 13: go to sleep or we're not gonna wake up and
- 56:50Speaker 13: it's gonna be better. We got to work through it, right.
- 56:53Speaker 3: I agree with you, And you know, yes, there is
- 56:56Speaker 3: going to be criticism for any event, But based on
- 56:58Speaker 3: what you just said, I wonder if people realize that,
- 57:02Speaker 3: let's say next year, these companies that pulled out this
- 57:06Speaker 3: year for DEI initiatives, they want they might want to
- 57:08Speaker 3: come back, but they're not going to come back to
- 57:10Speaker 3: something that is getting so criticized. They're not going to
- 57:12Speaker 3: come back to something that's getting so slammed on social media.
- 57:15Speaker 3: That's when they be like, I want to stay away
- 57:17Speaker 3: from that, like you know, yeah, you know.
- 57:19Speaker 13: And the thing is, what we did this year was
- 57:24Speaker 13: an extraordinary success. Our vision for this is not for
- 57:27Speaker 13: next year. Our vision for this is one hundred hundred years.
- 57:30Speaker 13: So we're building the infrastructure that allows us, that allows
- 57:33Speaker 13: us to do that will do the work. We'll make
- 57:37Speaker 13: the adjustments from the that we see from the criticisms,
- 57:41Speaker 13: the one that the ones that are that are reasonable
- 57:44Speaker 13: in that work will do that right. But the other
- 57:46Speaker 13: thing is we've also got to be able to the
- 57:48Speaker 13: thing that I'll notice that I'll say, now as I've
- 57:50Speaker 13: gotten on in years, is my community no longer has.
- 57:56Speaker 4: The grace it once had for each other, not at all. Right,
- 58:00Speaker 4: we go on these platforms and.
- 58:02Speaker 3: Did we did we?
- 58:04Speaker 4: I don't know if we know we maybe maybe yeah?
- 58:08Speaker 4: In my day, yes, there was grace.
- 58:11Speaker 13: You know, if if something went wrong, somebody pulled you
- 58:13Speaker 13: aside and said, hey, you know this is going wrong, if.
- 58:16Speaker 4: Your kid did something wrong, they're like.
- 58:20Speaker 3: Community.
- 58:23Speaker 4: But we've got to bring We've got to bring that back. Right.
- 58:26Speaker 13: It's like if we run away from these things, it
- 58:28Speaker 13: doesn't come back. If our kids grow up and don't
- 58:30Speaker 13: see they think that this is this is the way
- 58:33Speaker 13: it should be. So where did we get some things wrong?
- 58:37Speaker 4: Absolutely?
- 58:37Speaker 13: But I think if you measure us against any festival
- 58:41Speaker 13: that happened this year, I think we we we.
- 58:44Speaker 4: Rise to the top. Right.
- 58:47Speaker 13: I don't know of one festival that happened this year
- 58:49Speaker 13: that didn't have some sort of production issue. Right, Ours
- 58:53Speaker 13: is amplified because people care. Right, Ours is amplified because
- 58:56Speaker 13: our community is under a lot of pressure. Ours is
- 58:59Speaker 13: amplified because we have a boycott going. Ours is amplified
- 59:03Speaker 13: for a whole host of reasons. That doesn't mean that
- 59:05Speaker 13: we run away from it, right, It means that we
- 59:07Speaker 13: got to talk.
- 59:07Speaker 4: Absolutely.
- 59:08Speaker 3: I think the valid criticisms, and I know you gotta
- 59:11Speaker 3: get out of here. I think the valid criticism are
- 59:12Speaker 3: the production issue, the lateness, the costs for people, And
- 59:16Speaker 3: I do think the target, the target conversation is a
- 59:19Speaker 3: valid conversation to have. It's a valid criticism for people
- 59:22Speaker 3: that are boycotting to bring up. But I think with you,
- 59:24Speaker 3: the way you're explaining it makes sense to me.
- 59:26Speaker 4: Yeah, But here's here's the other. Here's the other, bigger thing.
- 59:29Speaker 13: I personally think a lot of this stuff is driven
- 59:31Speaker 13: by bots, right, I don't even think it's.
- 59:34Speaker 2: Well, not only that a lot of people weren't even there,
- 59:36Speaker 2: like the people that left those they weren't even there,
- 59:38Speaker 2: and they do those type of things. I say this,
- 59:40Speaker 2: and I tell me Charlam may talk about it all
- 59:42Speaker 2: the time. The bad thing is we reward this type
- 59:44Speaker 2: of behavior, right, And the way we reward it is
- 59:46Speaker 2: there's likes, there's views. They get paid for the amount
- 59:49Speaker 2: of views. So if I get a million views for
- 59:52Speaker 2: issue on essence and I get paid one thousand dollars
- 59:54Speaker 2: for it, you know what I'm gonna do tomorrow.
- 59:55Speaker 4: I'm gonna do it again.
- 59:56Speaker 3: Well, you're probably right, but let's not dismiss the people.
- 59:58Speaker 4: Who are there. People there. But there were people there,
- 1:00:01Speaker 4: and he said they did have some problem.
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: But what I want you to do, too, Rich is
- 1:00:05Speaker 2: instead of coming when is fed up to talk about
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: fixing it, or you want you to come before and
- 1:00:10Speaker 2: talk about what you're doing so we can get that
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: good word out to the people.
- 1:00:13Speaker 4: But you too, busy doing the work.
- 1:00:14Speaker 13: So that's I was going to say, yes, so let
- 1:00:16Speaker 13: me let me let me tell you what I.
- 1:00:18Speaker 4: Grew up by. Right.
- 1:00:20Speaker 13: My mother would always tell us, let's do the things
- 1:00:24Speaker 13: we're going to talk about.
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: Let's not talk about the things we're going to do.
- 1:00:29Speaker 4: So that's my mentality. Right.
- 1:00:32Speaker 13: If it's something, if I have something to share that
- 1:00:34Speaker 13: that I think like this conversation, I'm happy to share it.
- 1:00:39Speaker 13: But other than that, i'd rather be I'd rather be
- 1:00:42Speaker 13: working with my team solving these problems.
- 1:00:44Speaker 4: Right. And now you know I'm executive chairman.
- 1:00:46Speaker 13: We have CEOs in different roles, you know they're they're
- 1:00:50Speaker 13: doing that so I can sit here and talk. But
- 1:00:54Speaker 13: the reality of it is we have to give each
- 1:00:57Speaker 13: other more grace and we have to build more businesses.
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: Right, that's our.
- 1:01:03Speaker 13: Only way out of this, Right, we have to build
- 1:01:07Speaker 13: more businesses, and we have to treat those things that
- 1:01:10Speaker 13: allow us to build those businesses.
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: With that mindset. Right.
- 1:01:14Speaker 13: So I'll say this, Those sponsor dollars that come in
- 1:01:22Speaker 13: go into the investments to put on the free experiences
- 1:01:28Speaker 13: that you get, and they'll allow us to pay for
- 1:01:32Speaker 13: the talent that we won't.
- 1:01:34Speaker 4: Be able to pay for it just by ticket sales.
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: I gotcha, right.
- 1:01:38Speaker 13: There's nowhere else on this planet that you can go
- 1:01:41Speaker 13: and get what essence FST gives you. And that's why
- 1:01:44Speaker 13: I believe people are so protective of it, right, And
- 1:01:48Speaker 13: so I appreciate that, and I understand that, and we
- 1:01:51Speaker 13: will continue to do the work to make it continuously better.
- 1:01:57Speaker 4: But I will say this, what we put on lives
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: on the world stage.
- 1:02:04Speaker 13: Right.
- 1:02:04Speaker 4: It's not it's not that's.
- 1:02:07Speaker 13: Nobody's bigger, right. It's just that a lot of what
- 1:02:11Speaker 13: we do is free, right.
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: But nobody's bigger.
- 1:02:15Speaker 13: So our revenues don't match everybody else's revenues because they
- 1:02:19Speaker 13: charge it. The other thing is when you go when
- 1:02:22Speaker 13: you go to Cotella, you go to any one of
- 1:02:25Speaker 13: these other places, you're just there for the act that's.
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: On the stage.
- 1:02:30Speaker 13: When you come the Essence community, you're there for community.
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:02:34Speaker 13: So I think we did a great job with community.
- 1:02:38Speaker 13: We didn't do a great job with the production, right,
- 1:02:41Speaker 13: But I think that just the community of the talent
- 1:02:43Speaker 13: that was there. And we need to communicate more frequently,
- 1:02:49Speaker 13: earlier and more frequently, who's here, who's not here, what's happening?
- 1:02:53Speaker 4: Right?
- 1:02:53Speaker 13: So those are those are things that those are things
- 1:02:56Speaker 13: that are fixing when we're here, We're here to do
- 1:02:57Speaker 13: the work.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: All criticisms of validing essence is just gonna try to
- 1:03:01Speaker 3: do better next year.
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: There we go. That's it. That's it.

- 1:03:54Speaker 9: So here's how it went down.
- 1:03:54Speaker 19: So Mega Sigon posted these photos last week of hurting
- 1:03:59Speaker 19: a bathing suit and in the back ground was Klay Thompson.
- 1:04:01Speaker 19: But you had to zoom in and kind of see
- 1:04:03Speaker 19: him a bit, and people were trying to figure out
- 1:04:05Speaker 19: if it was him or if it was not. It
- 1:04:06Speaker 19: then came out later that it was confirmed that it
- 1:04:09Speaker 19: was him, but they the two of them, didn't say anything.
- 1:04:12Speaker 19: So then following Meg Thee Stallions up.
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: Little do we know if this is true because she
- 1:04:16Speaker 2: was just with the soccer players, so yeah, they could
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: have been at the same resort.
- 1:04:19Speaker 9: We're going to get there.
- 1:04:23Speaker 4: You like some tea, he was some ginger with itey.
- 1:04:28Speaker 9: He's a honey.
- 1:04:29Speaker 19: So following Meg Thee Stallion's post, you then had Klay Thompson.
- 1:04:33Speaker 19: He uploaded a swipe through and in his swipe through,
- 1:04:37Speaker 19: Magde Stallion and him sharing a kiss and then they're
- 1:04:40Speaker 19: holding hands walking, So it is official. I mean, they
- 1:04:43Speaker 19: haven't said anything, but the photos say all the.
- 1:04:45Speaker 9: Things that they need to say.
- 1:04:46Speaker 17: Right.
- 1:04:47Speaker 9: He actually posted it like it's on his install Yes,
- 1:04:49Speaker 9: it's on his Instagram. Yes. Now MV you had mentioned
- 1:04:53Speaker 9: that she was dating the not just.
- 1:04:55Speaker 8: Thought she was with homie, but and then Boston Tory
- 1:04:59Speaker 8: Craig guy last year.
- 1:05:01Speaker 19: Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, Megan has been single, she's
- 1:05:04Speaker 19: been dating. But I will say people did have a
- 1:05:06Speaker 19: lot to say about her. Well, once Clay doubled down
- 1:05:10Speaker 19: on what she had already posted. People, I mean, they
- 1:05:13Speaker 19: like the drag Megan, but people did have a lot
- 1:05:14Speaker 19: to say because they felt like she was openly dating
- 1:05:17Speaker 19: all of these people who are athletes and there were
- 1:05:19Speaker 19: some jokes flying.
- 1:05:20Speaker 9: But she's single. What is she supposed to do?
- 1:05:23Speaker 8: That's the thing. Are they relationships or what was she single?
- 1:05:25Speaker 7: Like?
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: Because she was popping out with them like her and
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: Clay give together, I mean and Tory Craig gave together.
- 1:05:31Speaker 8: They did a couple of challenge, did a couple of
- 1:05:36Speaker 8: there's a couple of challenges on TikTok that he did
- 1:05:38Speaker 8: a couple.
- 1:05:38Speaker 4: Of challenge or congratulations to them.
- 1:05:41Speaker 9: Yeah, congratulations, That's what I'm saying.
- 1:05:42Speaker 5: No, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it, but
- 1:05:44Speaker 5: I'm saying, like she's not single, like she's getting in
- 1:05:47Speaker 5: relationships with the you know, these are relationships. He's just
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: probably not working. But it was a sexual relationship. She's
- 1:05:52Speaker 5: not just out here.
- 1:05:53Speaker 9: Because she's going public with them as it takes it
- 1:05:56Speaker 9: to a different high. I do agree.
- 1:05:57Speaker 8: Sometimes things don't work, but yeah, these are.
- 1:06:00Speaker 19: I think that's It's just hard when you're a megda
- 1:06:02Speaker 19: stallion and you do like somebody enough to be public
- 1:06:04Speaker 19: with them or whatever.
- 1:06:05Speaker 9: It's like you got to pick and choose, I guess.
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: But like when you go public is official when.
- 1:06:11Speaker 5: Yeah, with somebody not up there posting it because she
- 1:06:18Speaker 5: she got nice bathing suits, like that's his girl, know
- 1:06:20Speaker 5: that is it?
- 1:06:21Speaker 4: For sure?
- 1:06:21Speaker 19: They give couple together and a couple of challenges on TikTok.

- 1:08:25Speaker 3: man actually makes a real commitment. You know what I mean,

- 1:11:15Speaker 15: Trump is calling for a total and complete chuckdount of
- 1:11:18Speaker 15: Muslims entering the United States. Would you love to see
- 1:11:20Speaker 15: one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects.
- 1:11:23Speaker 13: Our flag to say, get that son of up that
- 1:11:25Speaker 13: you're off the field right now out.
- 1:11:27Speaker 4: He's fired.
- 1:11:29Speaker 8: He's fired.
- 1:11:33Speaker 4: Please step up to the congregation. Yes you are. When
- 1:11:39Speaker 4: Mexico sends his feet, you're not sending their best. They're
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: bringing drugs, they're bringing crimes.
- 1:11:49Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not here today for Monday, July fourteenth, goes
- 1:11:51Speaker 3: to President Donald J. Trump and the whole Trump administration
- 1:11:54Speaker 3: because they are doubling and tripling down on the lie
- 1:11:58Speaker 3: that the Epstein client list does exists. Now, if you
- 1:12:00Speaker 3: haven't heard, the DOJ said they have no evidence that
- 1:12:03Speaker 3: convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein blackmailed powerful figures, kept the
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: client list, are was murdered, even though they were the
- 1:12:10Speaker 3: ones perpetuating that lie in the first place. Okay, Pam Bondy,
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: the Attorney General, said the files were sitting on her desk.
- 1:12:19Speaker 4: Let's listen.
- 1:12:20Speaker 25: The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: Well, that really happened.
- 1:12:26Speaker 23: It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's
- 1:12:29Speaker 23: been a directive by President Trump.
- 1:12:31Speaker 8: I'm reviewing that.
- 1:12:32Speaker 23: I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the
- 1:12:36Speaker 23: process of being reviewed because that was done at the
- 1:12:38Speaker 23: directive of the president from all of these agencies.
- 1:12:41Speaker 25: So so, have you seen anything there? You said, Oh,
- 1:12:43Speaker 25: my gosh, not yet. Okay, well, we'll check back with
- 1:12:49Speaker 25: you now. They don't exist allegedly.
- 1:12:52Speaker 3: Donald Trump himself said on Fox News back in the
- 1:12:54Speaker 3: day that he would declassify the Epstein files.
- 1:12:56Speaker 8: Let's listen, declassify the nine to eleven files. Ye, would
- 1:13:00Speaker 8: you declassify JFK files? Would you declassify the Epstein files?
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:13:05Speaker 8: Yeah, I would.
- 1:13:06Speaker 15: I guess I would. I think that less so because
- 1:13:09Speaker 15: you know, you don't know, you don't want to affect
- 1:13:11Speaker 15: people's lives if it's phony stuff in there, because there's
- 1:13:13Speaker 15: a lot of phony stuff with that whole world.
- 1:13:17Speaker 4: But I think I would, or at least do.
- 1:13:18Speaker 12: You think that would restore trust?
- 1:13:20Speaker 8: Hope, restore trust.
- 1:13:21Speaker 15: I don't know about Epstein so much as I do
- 1:13:23Speaker 15: the other there's certainly about the way he died. It
- 1:13:25Speaker 15: would be interesting to find out what happened there, because
- 1:13:27Speaker 15: that was a weird situation and the cameras didn't happen
- 1:13:29Speaker 15: to be working.
- 1:13:30Speaker 3: He sounded a little shaky, a little reluctant, But he
- 1:13:33Speaker 3: never said back then that the files didn't exist, did he. Okay,
- 1:13:37Speaker 3: you shouldn't have to sound that shaky about releasing something
- 1:13:39Speaker 3: that doesn't exist.
- 1:13:40Speaker 20: Now.
- 1:13:41Speaker 3: This weekend, Donald Trump put up a long ass post
- 1:13:43Speaker 3: on True Social and he blamed the Epstein files on
- 1:13:47Speaker 3: you guessed it? The Democrats. Yes, he said that the
- 1:13:50Speaker 3: files were written by Obama, Crooked Hillary, call me me Brennan,
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: and the luthers and criminals of the Biden administration.
- 1:13:56Speaker 4: Let's go to MSNBC for the report. Please.
- 1:13:59Speaker 26: Obviously, this is a story that has riled MAGA world
- 1:14:04Speaker 26: over the past three four days, and there seems to
- 1:14:07Speaker 26: be an argument coming out of the White House that
- 1:14:09Speaker 26: these files don't exist. And at the same time, the
- 1:14:14Speaker 26: White House is saying this.
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: Is all a set up.
- 1:14:17Speaker 26: These files were all set ups by Barack Obama and
- 1:14:20Speaker 26: Hillary Clinton.
- 1:14:22Speaker 4: Two things can't those two things can't. We often say
- 1:14:25Speaker 4: two things can be true at one time. Those two
- 1:14:29Speaker 4: things cannot be true at one time. You cannot have.
- 1:14:32Speaker 26: Files that do not exist that were set up by
- 1:14:37Speaker 26: Barack Obama, when in fact, all of this happened years
- 1:14:42Speaker 26: after Barack Obama, as far as the Justice Department launching
- 1:14:47Speaker 26: the investigation happened a few years after Barack Obama was
- 1:14:53Speaker 26: already golfing and windsailing and going on cruise ships.
- 1:14:57Speaker 4: Great points, O Scarborough.
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: Okay, never mind in fact that Epstein was arrested on
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: July sixteenth, July six, twenty nineteen, when Trump was in office.
- 1:15:05Speaker 3: Never mind in fact he killed himself on August tipt
- 1:15:08Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, while Trump was in office. I don't know
- 1:15:10Speaker 3: what Democrats have to do with this, but you can't
- 1:15:12Speaker 3: spend this with some Democratic hopes, not when it was
- 1:15:15Speaker 3: the MAGA crowd and the Trump administration who endorsed the
- 1:15:18Speaker 3: Epstein client list to begin with. Now, I personally believe
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: the reason that Epstein list didn't come out was because
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: it would be mutually assured destruction for everybody Democrats, Republicans, politicians.
- 1:15:29Speaker 4: And israel corporate CEOs, the royal family.
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: If the Epstein flight logs are any indication, then this
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: Epstein client list would hurt everybody. That's why Trump doesn't
- 1:15:39Speaker 3: want to put it out, and that's why you never
- 1:15:40Speaker 3: heard much about it from a certain class of Democrat. Okay,
- 1:15:43Speaker 3: Biden was in office for four years. I never heard
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: them talking about that Epstein list. Why because he probably
- 1:15:48Speaker 3: had people on there he needed to protect too. Okay,
- 1:15:50Speaker 3: the powerful protect the powerful people. I feel like if
- 1:15:53Speaker 3: they had Trump on the Epstein client list and just
- 1:15:56Speaker 3: Trump and nobody they needed to protect, they would have
- 1:15:58Speaker 3: let that list fly. But I am simply here to
- 1:16:01Speaker 3: tell a lot of Democrats this morning, don't let go
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: of the Epstein list.
- 1:16:09Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:16:09Speaker 3: I suspect it will be a lot of flooding of
- 1:16:12Speaker 3: the zone from Republicans trying to get the Epstein list
- 1:16:16Speaker 3: out of the headlines, but don't let it go.
- 1:16:19Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: Treat the Epstein client list the way MAGA treated the
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: transgenders in sports issue, all right, don't ever stop talking
- 1:16:26Speaker 3: about it, because the reality is the transgender in.
- 1:16:28Speaker 4: Sports issue was one thing we all could agree on.
- 1:16:32Speaker 3: Okay, MAGA could sound completely crazy about a number of things,
- 1:16:36Speaker 3: But soon as they say men who have transitioned to
- 1:16:40Speaker 3: women shouldn't be competing in women's sports. We all like, yeah,
- 1:16:43Speaker 3: I agree with that, that's true. That's what this Epstein
- 1:16:46Speaker 3: client list issue is for Democrats now. It's the only
- 1:16:50Speaker 3: thing that can build a bridge between Democrats and the magabase. Okay,
- 1:16:54Speaker 3: dims have been trying to court the MAGA base. That's
- 1:16:56Speaker 3: why Gavin Newsom will do a corny ass podcast where
- 1:16:59Speaker 3: he has to talk to both sides. Listen, if you
- 1:17:01Speaker 3: really want to talk to the other side, then you
- 1:17:03Speaker 3: have to talk about things the other side cares about.
- 1:17:06Speaker 3: And you know what MAGA cares about. Conspiracy. The base
- 1:17:10Speaker 3: of the MAGA movement is not conservatism, it's conspiracy and
- 1:17:14Speaker 3: white supremacy.
- 1:17:15Speaker 4: Okay.
- 1:17:15Speaker 3: The same way Republicans and conspiracy theorists couldn't let go
- 1:17:18Speaker 3: of Pizzagate and they demonized Democrats because they thought they
- 1:17:21Speaker 3: were running a child sex spring out of the back
- 1:17:23Speaker 3: of a pizza shop in DC. It's the same way
- 1:17:25Speaker 3: Democrats should demonize any Republican acting like the Epstein list
- 1:17:30Speaker 3: doesn't exist. Pour gas on the flames, ask questions, why
- 1:17:34Speaker 3: is paying BONDI lying to us? Why are pieces of
- 1:17:37Speaker 3: the footage missing? It's the most impactful thing Democrats could
- 1:17:40Speaker 3: be talking about. Okay, the magabase didn't budge on the
- 1:17:43Speaker 3: administration when they let Elon Musk take a chain saw
- 1:17:45Speaker 3: the government agencies left so many government agencies functioning worse
- 1:17:49Speaker 3: than they were before. The Magabas don't care about people
- 1:17:51Speaker 3: getting deported with no due process. They didn't care about
- 1:17:54Speaker 3: the insurrection. None of that mattered to them. But this
- 1:17:56Speaker 3: Epstein client let's issue.
- 1:17:58Speaker 4: Oh it does, and that's why.
- 1:18:01Speaker 3: Democrats should never stop talking about it. It's the only
- 1:18:04Speaker 3: thing to lean into. It's no downside, even if it
- 1:18:07Speaker 3: is powerful Democrats on this list. So what you're not
- 1:18:10Speaker 3: protecting pedophiles?
- 1:18:12Speaker 4: I would hope not. I saw a superman this weekend.
- 1:18:15Speaker 3: In one scene, a guide goes and I'm paraphrasing, Democrats
- 1:18:18Speaker 3: and Republicans can both agree Lex Luthor is a trader
- 1:18:21Speaker 3: or something like that. Well, guess what, Democrats and Republicans
- 1:18:24Speaker 3: can both agree that there is a cover up of
- 1:18:26Speaker 3: the Epstein list. This is how you make a connection
- 1:18:29Speaker 3: with the magabase because both parties can agree it's an
- 1:18:33Speaker 3: obvious cover up. Okay, Democrats, there's nothing else to discuss.
- 1:18:36Speaker 3: Don't blow the layup. I know y'all suck at messaging. Well,
- 1:18:40Speaker 3: this is the message. Okay, you've been looking for your
- 1:18:43Speaker 3: transgenders and sports issue.
- 1:18:45Speaker 4: Well here you have it. Every time Republicans try to
- 1:18:48Speaker 4: turn the channel, turn it back. Okay.
- 1:18:49Speaker 3: The only reason you wouldn't is because you trying to
- 1:18:52Speaker 3: protect the pedophiles and your party are the pedophiles that
- 1:18:55Speaker 3: from your campaigns are the powerful pedophile politicians.
- 1:18:58Speaker 4: From other countries. But the moral of the store is
- 1:19:00Speaker 4: we have no reason to protect pedophiles.
- 1:19:02Speaker 3: And that should be the constant question to the Trump
- 1:19:04Speaker 3: administration in regard to the Epstein files. Why are you
- 1:19:08Speaker 3: protecting the pedophiles by telling us this client list by
- 1:19:12Speaker 3: these Epstein.
- 1:19:13Speaker 4: Files don't exist.
- 1:19:15Speaker 3: Let's discuss.
- 1:19:16Speaker 4: Please give Donald Trump and the Trump administration the biggest
- 1:19:19Speaker 4: he hull what all right?
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that donkey of the day, Yes, ma'am.
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: Now during the Lads, now during the Latest with Lauren,
- 1:19:33Speaker 2: gotta ignore him. Some times during the Latest with Lauren,
- 1:19:36Speaker 2: she was talking about Drake and Drake got a tattoo
- 1:19:39Speaker 2: of Lebron and now he covered it up.
- 1:19:41Speaker 8: Yeah, as he rightfully.
- 1:19:43Speaker 2: So we're asking eight five eight five one five one.
- 1:19:47Speaker 2: Now Drake got Lebron or had Lebron tatted on him?
- 1:19:50Speaker 2: Do you think that's just a sign of respect for
- 1:19:52Speaker 2: greatness or do I think that's a little too much?
- 1:19:55Speaker 4: Oh our respect for gayness? But didn't put that one
- 1:19:58Speaker 4: in there?
- 1:20:01Speaker 2: Five going to be because you can't say you only
- 1:20:05Speaker 2: put it when people passed, because a lot of people
- 1:20:07Speaker 2: out there with Michael Jordan tattoos.
- 1:20:09Speaker 9: But he covered it up.
- 1:20:10Speaker 8: Then he covered up with somebody else's name.
- 1:20:12Speaker 4: Yes, okay, that's just.
- 1:20:14Speaker 3: That's by the way, that's big d riding too though.
- 1:20:16Speaker 3: Shy Ben from Toronto, shy Ben balling. You wait till
- 1:20:20Speaker 3: you get a championship and now I want to get
- 1:20:21Speaker 3: his name tattooed on you.
- 1:20:24Speaker 22: Like that?
- 1:20:25Speaker 2: That is the questioning what that five one?
- 1:20:31Speaker 4: Drake had a lebron tattoo and he recently covered it up.
- 1:20:35Speaker 2: Do you think that's just a sign of respect for
- 1:20:37Speaker 2: greatness or do you think it's going a little too far.
- 1:20:41Speaker 4: Too much?
- 1:20:41Speaker 9: My thing is seamagne.
- 1:20:43Speaker 8: You still got the windy said.
- 1:20:44Speaker 3: To got got it?
- 1:20:47Speaker 9: You know where it is too?
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, you got dj c's question mark logo right
- 1:20:51Speaker 3: over your belly button is question button?
- 1:20:54Speaker 13: Period?
- 1:20:55Speaker 4: Come you got how you're doing right over your butt crack? Doing?
- 1:21:00Speaker 4: Not too many letters?
- 1:21:00Speaker 11: All right?

- 1:21:03Speaker 4: Breakfast Good morning. The Breakfast Club.
- 1:21:08Speaker 3: Donkey today is brought to you by the law office

- 1:21:16Speaker 3: doctor Puma and Soaring Medical.
- 1:21:18Speaker 4: To help make sure you are taking heart health.
- 1:21:23Speaker 13: It's topic time called eight hundred five five five one
- 1:21:27Speaker 13: to join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.
- 1:21:30Speaker 2: More than everybody. It's DJ Envy, just hilarious, Charlamagne the guy.
- 1:21:35Speaker 2: We are the Breakfast Club now if you're just joining us.
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: During the Latest with Lauren, Lauren reported that Drake removed
- 1:21:40Speaker 2: the Lebron tattoo and put sg A on it. And
- 1:21:44Speaker 2: we're asking eight hundred and five A five one oh
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: five to one do you think Drake's tattoo of Lebron
- 1:21:49Speaker 2: is a sign of respect for greatness or do you
- 1:21:51Speaker 2: think it's a little too much?
- 1:21:54Speaker 5: The only you know, like the weird part about it
- 1:21:57Speaker 5: is like they hung out, like they were hanging out
- 1:21:59Speaker 5: there like close in age and Lebron is legendary, you
- 1:22:02Speaker 5: know what I mean, So like, yeah, he you know,
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: the reason why I say legendary is because I just
- 1:22:07Speaker 5: feel like you got to have like I don't know,
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: like I'm not saying that he's not a legend, but
- 1:22:12Speaker 5: like he's still currently active with It's that's why I
- 1:22:16Speaker 5: say legendary.
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: To me, I'm like, legendary. You know, when he retired,
- 1:22:19Speaker 8: you can be he's gonna be a legend.
- 1:22:21Speaker 5: But like I look at Michael Jordan's as like a
- 1:22:23Speaker 5: legend right now, already not in the make, and you
- 1:22:25Speaker 5: feel me so like they're like too close in age,
- 1:22:27Speaker 5: like they're homies. Like that's like getting your homeboy tatted
- 1:22:30Speaker 5: on you, you know what I mean. So it is
- 1:22:33Speaker 5: a little weird to me that Drake got uh Lebron's
- 1:22:37Speaker 5: name tag. I mean jerseys, you know, Oh it's just
- 1:22:39Speaker 5: a jersey. It was this jersey with it with his
- 1:22:42Speaker 5: name on the back of it. Yeah, in this high
- 1:22:44Speaker 5: school jersey. Okay, I just think it's weird.
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: I mean, the only people I would get tattooed is
- 1:22:48Speaker 2: my mom's, my PA's, my wife, and my kids.
- 1:22:50Speaker 4: Yeah, my grandmother, you know, grandfather.
- 1:22:52Speaker 8: You wouldn't get like Prince or Michael Jackson or like nah.
- 1:22:55Speaker 2: But I do like Odell, Odell has O'Dell Beckham, Junr
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: has a lot of the legends that passed away tattooed
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: on him, and I think they look it looks guess
- 1:23:03Speaker 2: Michael Jackson, he he has what else does he have
- 1:23:07Speaker 2: on there?
- 1:23:08Speaker 8: But he has like a lot of the legends like that,
- 1:23:10Speaker 8: And with that, I don't think that's weird, you know
- 1:23:12Speaker 8: what I mean.
- 1:23:13Speaker 5: But if we hang out like you know, I don't know,
- 1:23:16Speaker 5: that's like if I hang out with Tianna Taylor or
- 1:23:18Speaker 5: I'm gonna go get Shorty name.
- 1:23:19Speaker 8: On me, like you know, I can't do that now.
- 1:23:22Speaker 3: Besides, Wendy, what are your thoughts, I've never gotten a
- 1:23:25Speaker 3: Windy tattooed.
- 1:23:25Speaker 4: I mean, you know it's interesting, right, I don't think
- 1:23:27Speaker 4: I don't think he should have ever gotten it simply
- 1:23:29Speaker 4: because that's not his friend like that now, But maybe
- 1:23:33Speaker 4: maybe that's the reason why he was so hurt, because
- 1:23:34Speaker 4: he thought it was his friend like that. But that's
- 1:23:36Speaker 4: my point.
- 1:23:36Speaker 3: If you love him as a ballplayer, I get it,
- 1:23:39Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Because you know, people get
- 1:23:41Speaker 3: teams that they like tatting on them, they get athletes
- 1:23:44Speaker 3: that they like tatting on them.
- 1:23:45Speaker 4: Sports fandom brings out something different.
- 1:23:47Speaker 3: I mean there's guys out there right now that got
- 1:23:49Speaker 3: tattoos of players that they've never met, right, just because
- 1:23:52Speaker 3: they love.
- 1:23:52Speaker 4: Sports so much. Correct.
- 1:23:54Speaker 3: But if you got that tattoo because he's your friend,
- 1:23:57Speaker 3: that's conny because that man don't know you like that.
- 1:24:00Speaker 3: Y'all ain't come up together like you got people around
- 1:24:03Speaker 3: you that you came up with. Do you have them
- 1:24:05Speaker 3: tatted on you us have a place on your body.
- 1:24:08Speaker 9: You know what I mean?
- 1:24:08Speaker 4: Does Baca? I don't know who is his other friends?
- 1:24:10Speaker 4: I don't know that. I think he does have a
- 1:24:12Speaker 4: forty tattoo from what I.
- 1:24:15Speaker 3: So, yeah for me, if you got the tattoo because
- 1:24:18Speaker 3: you thought that was your close friend, that's corny because
- 1:24:20Speaker 3: you don't know that man like that. If you got
- 1:24:22Speaker 3: it because he was a great ball player, I understand.
- 1:24:25Speaker 3: But clearly you didn't get it because he was a
- 1:24:26Speaker 3: great ball player, because you got to cover you up
- 1:24:28Speaker 3: soon as you lose friendship. And I know one of
- 1:24:31Speaker 3: his other good friends now, but no, that's d D.
- 1:24:35Speaker 3: He's from Shy is from Toronto, But you've been new
- 1:24:38Speaker 3: Shy was from Toronto. While you wait until that man
- 1:24:40Speaker 3: win a championship.
- 1:24:42Speaker 4: That's d riding. That's like, that's like your wipe it off.
- 1:24:46Speaker 3: You know, it's like your wipe it off. You wait
- 1:24:50Speaker 3: to this man win a championship to get him tatted
- 1:24:52Speaker 3: on you. He wasn't good enough to get a tap before.
- 1:24:54Speaker 3: And then you had Lebron's high school jersey on you.
- 1:24:57Speaker 3: He got even one nothing when he was in high school,
- 1:24:59Speaker 3: not knowing bah what.
- 1:25:00Speaker 8: If he was been following his story.
- 1:25:02Speaker 3: But that's what I mean.
- 1:25:03Speaker 4: If it was just about athletics, I get it. You
- 1:25:05Speaker 4: thought that was your friend. You thought you was cool
- 1:25:10Speaker 4: like that.
- 1:25:12Speaker 2: Because there's a lot of people that have Michael Jordan tattoo.
- 1:25:16Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that have I'm trying to
- 1:25:17Speaker 2: think of another person, Shaquille O'Neill.
- 1:25:20Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that have.
- 1:25:26Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know.
- 1:25:27Speaker 4: I just wouldn't another one. Wayne Gretzky another one.
- 1:25:30Speaker 17: Hello, Hey the KP from man.
- 1:25:33Speaker 4: Hey, what's up? Brother? Talk to us?
- 1:25:34Speaker 2: What's your thoughts about Greg replacing the tattoo, having a
- 1:25:38Speaker 2: tattooed Lebron James on him and replacing it.
- 1:25:41Speaker 3: What you think, Well, well, him having its kind of
- 1:25:44Speaker 3: you know that already with charlone name said him, You
- 1:25:46Speaker 3: know what I mean?
- 1:25:48Speaker 17: And yah, I'm sorry that these cars are here. And
- 1:25:51Speaker 17: then you and then if you don't cover up the tattoo, you.
- 1:25:53Speaker 4: Might try to cover up the song too, cover up
- 1:25:55Speaker 4: the what the song?
- 1:25:57Speaker 17: You might gonna try to get that off the rady
- 1:25:59Speaker 17: roll and off the wish everybody play with because you

- 1:26:04Speaker 17: what you gonna do about that?
- 1:26:06Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 1:26:07Speaker 4: Yeah, Hello?
- 1:26:07Speaker 13: Who's this?
- 1:26:08Speaker 9: Hey?
- 1:26:09Speaker 7: This cruise from sir, Florida.
- 1:26:10Speaker 3: What's up cruise?
- 1:26:11Speaker 4: How you feeling?
- 1:26:12Speaker 7: I'm doing good doing girl?
- 1:26:14Speaker 22: About this stuff?
- 1:26:15Speaker 4: Good and favorite, sir.
- 1:26:16Speaker 8: When you think about Drake having Lebrother's jersey tattooed on
- 1:26:19Speaker 8: his arm, in.
- 1:26:21Speaker 7: My opinion, I thought it was a sign of restake
- 1:26:23Speaker 7: into the whole, you know, kenjry Lamar beat. For one thing,
- 1:26:27Speaker 7: I kind of agree with Shalla may is when he
- 1:26:30Speaker 7: put Shay on there, that's definitely you riding, because one
- 1:26:34Speaker 7: he never show loved to shave, and two if y'all
- 1:26:37Speaker 7: peep at the tattoo, he also got thunder on there,
- 1:26:40Speaker 7: which he never you know, has his association with Oklahoma City.
- 1:26:44Speaker 18: So it kind of blew my mind.
- 1:26:46Speaker 7: Putting him on there. Did you get what I'm saying, Like,
- 1:26:48Speaker 7: it's just crazing me.
- 1:26:50Speaker 3: It said thunder on it too.
- 1:26:51Speaker 4: I don't know about that, yeh, Pete, it says thunder
- 1:26:54Speaker 4: on it, damn. And don't you have Kevin Duran and
- 1:26:56Speaker 4: Steph Curry on him too? I don't know.
- 1:26:59Speaker 7: I believe Saw. I'm not too sure, but.
- 1:27:02Speaker 2: I understand that if he's putting the grapes on him
- 1:27:04Speaker 2: in because they're all great play.
- 1:27:08Speaker 4: Like Charlema said, they're not your friends, and obviously they showed.
- 1:27:11Speaker 3: I tell you one thing, man, You know how they
- 1:27:12Speaker 3: say money doesn't change you, It just magnifies who you are.
- 1:27:16Speaker 4: Drake must have been a D rider for a long time.
- 1:27:19Speaker 5: Some high level D riding going on bro bro or
- 1:27:22Speaker 5: maybe like he just wasn't like the cool kid before,
- 1:27:25Speaker 5: you know what I mean?
- 1:27:28Speaker 4: First of all, yeah, and then.
- 1:27:30Speaker 5: It's like, yo, now if I'm good at he found
- 1:27:32Speaker 5: something he was really great at rapping, and that that
- 1:27:34Speaker 5: got him bitches that got him like all the greatest
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: celebrities and rings represented by one of the best rappers
- 1:27:40Speaker 5: of all time. I mean, yeah, so, but I think
- 1:27:42Speaker 5: he's getting a harsh lesson now because I really think
- 1:27:44Speaker 5: he thought these were his friends. Like I really think
- 1:27:47Speaker 5: you know, when you're up to every when you want
- 1:27:48Speaker 5: to tee, everybody's your friends.
- 1:27:49Speaker 3: How could he think that this man made the song
- 1:27:51Speaker 3: no new friends, You got all those tattoos after making
- 1:27:54Speaker 3: that song?

- 1:29:00Speaker 20: Hey, man, I think the whole thing, uh, even back
- 1:29:04Speaker 20: to the beef, it's all about Drake needing some sort
- 1:29:06Speaker 20: of validation. Man, I went, I think he should have
- 1:29:09Speaker 20: stayed locked in with Wayne, like this generation should know
- 1:29:13Speaker 20: Wayne how big Wayne was years ago, and I feel
- 1:29:17Speaker 20: like Drake should have did that so well, Lebron, I
- 1:29:20Speaker 20: think he wanted to have like a big bro. He
- 1:29:22Speaker 20: wanted to have somebody got validated, and now he ain't
- 1:29:25Speaker 20: got that, so he just gonna flip flop to the
- 1:29:27Speaker 20: next person, the same thing that Kendrick was saying.
- 1:29:29Speaker 5: He always been doing, you know what I mean, But
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: he got Wayne whole face on him, so he started
- 1:29:34Speaker 5: with that Hello, who's.

- 1:29:52Speaker 17: Brother best believed man al Mama be jan the thirty
- 1:29:56Speaker 17: four years. Man, I kind of believed that Drake is suspect,
- 1:30:02Speaker 17: which I know man well, for one, when he was
- 1:30:05Speaker 17: with Cash Martin the good a man as A quipped
- 1:30:09Speaker 17: after something where he's bout he brom Wade said that
- 1:30:15Speaker 17: it was kind of like line I left Braine, you know,

- 1:30:22Speaker 3: Man, Damn, I just saw that he got a tattoo
- 1:30:25Speaker 3: a skeptic too. Hell no, yo, that's what it says,

- 1:30:37Speaker 3: and I guess Skepta has an overo tattoo as well.
- 1:30:40Speaker 8: Okay, well they all right, well they did that together.
- 1:30:42Speaker 3: That's that's what I've b B b k is kept

- 1:30:49Speaker 3: on him.
- 1:30:50Speaker 8: Okay, I mean they did it together, you know what
- 1:30:52Speaker 8: I mean?
- 1:30:53Speaker 4: Hello, who's this a car from Maryland?
- 1:30:56Speaker 10: Uh?
- 1:30:57Speaker 22: I'm just calling to say I think you got I
- 1:31:00Speaker 22: was looking at it the wrong way. You just seen
- 1:31:01Speaker 22: a lot of viral clips with drinking the background courtside.
- 1:31:05Speaker 22: He just spend a lot of money on games, and
- 1:31:07Speaker 22: he could tell you what saying. He might even own
- 1:31:09Speaker 22: the team one day, so he's just invested. So why
- 1:31:12Speaker 22: not get it pet?
- 1:31:14Speaker 3: Well, we know I said that a little while ago,
- 1:31:16Speaker 3: but we know it's not about basketball, because if it
- 1:31:18Speaker 3: was just about basketball, he would keep the tattoo. You
- 1:31:20Speaker 3: don't get the tattoo covered up just because you don't
- 1:31:23Speaker 3: like your friend no more, because that don't take away
- 1:31:25Speaker 3: Bron's greatness on the court.
- 1:31:27Speaker 8: And then you got to cover it up with another
- 1:31:29Speaker 8: basketball player.
- 1:31:29Speaker 4: That's right.
- 1:31:30Speaker 22: I mean, But if the other basket, I mean, if
- 1:31:32Speaker 22: Lebron is like Viral leak this at him by singing
- 1:31:35Speaker 22: out Kendrick Labar, you might think, Hey, let me do
- 1:31:38Speaker 22: a different player, because I don't want to assimiate.
- 1:31:40Speaker 4: One no more.
- 1:31:42Speaker 5: But damn, I can't go to a concert and dance
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: to the greatest song that came out of the year
- 1:31:47Speaker 5: like I like damn Damn.
- 1:31:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say the other day, I will say
- 1:31:54Speaker 2: I think it's a little crazy when when you get
- 1:31:56Speaker 2: when you idolize these people like this, right, I would
- 1:31:59Speaker 2: also say this. I think my father will smack fire
- 1:32:02Speaker 2: out my ass if I put another man tattooed on mom.
- 1:32:05Speaker 2: But if you tell your daddy, but Daddy, this man
- 1:32:07Speaker 2: smacking fire out my ass too.
- 1:32:08Speaker 4: That's why I got the tattoos, you know, I had
- 1:32:12Speaker 4: to get the tattoos. Who's smacking fire out? Smacking the fire.
- 1:32:23Speaker 9: Everything?
- 1:32:23Speaker 3: Tell you what my dad told me when I got
- 1:32:24Speaker 3: everyone at one time.
- 1:32:25Speaker 4: That's right nineties Gaate Sler definitely fragg you know left side.
- 1:32:33Speaker 3: I guess the only thing I would say the Morlers man,
- 1:32:35Speaker 3: don't treat your body like it's just some freaking train.
- 1:32:39Speaker 13: You know what I mean.
- 1:32:40Speaker 3: You know you don't just put ink on you for
- 1:32:42Speaker 3: no reason. It always means something like I want to
- 1:32:46Speaker 3: get stuff off me. I hate all my tattoos, probably
- 1:32:48Speaker 3: except for like one. But it should mean something to
- 1:32:51Speaker 3: It shouldn't be something that you can just easily replace
- 1:32:53Speaker 3: just because you get mad at the person.
- 1:32:55Speaker 8: Right, I mean, then you do that when you're young.
- 1:32:57Speaker 8: I was doing that when I was young.
- 1:32:59Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
- 1:33:00Speaker 5: Is like that he just got the tattoos seven years ago,
- 1:33:02Speaker 5: just covering it up over the weekend, like he's still
- 1:33:04Speaker 5: doing that type of stuff.
- 1:33:05Speaker 2: Yeah, I got my kids and my wife name. I
- 1:33:07Speaker 2: can't get mad at him and take it off like
- 1:33:09Speaker 2: they always one.
- 1:33:10Speaker 3: I really need to know who which one of his
- 1:33:14Speaker 3: day ones did Drake have tattooed on him? You got Skeptic,
- 1:33:17Speaker 3: you have Lebron James, you got n Ga.
- 1:33:19Speaker 8: Kepta is from where London? Oh he loved London rattlers.
- 1:33:24Speaker 4: I can, by the way, I understand little way Little
- 1:33:27Speaker 4: Wayne put you on.
- 1:33:28Speaker 3: But but then that's what j Prince Junior tattooed like
- 1:33:31Speaker 3: where like who are your day one that you got
- 1:33:35Speaker 3: tatted on you?
- 1:33:36Speaker 8: Club is his tattoos? Like the Breakfast Club? Wall, Yo, everybody,
- 1:33:41Speaker 8: it's just like, oh Wall getting us all taded.
- 1:33:44Speaker 2: All right, Well we got the latest with Lauren coming up,
- 1:33:46Speaker 2: so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club in morning, the
- 1:33:49Speaker 2: Breakfast Club. Let's get to the latest.
- 1:33:53Speaker 4: With Lauren.
- 1:33:54Speaker 8: Lauren did come on the straight thing.
- 1:33:57Speaker 4: She gets them somebody that knows somebody to detail.
- 1:34:01Speaker 9: I'm the homegirl that knows a little bit about everything.
- 1:34:03Speaker 3: And she'd be having the latest on it sounds the
- 1:34:06Speaker 3: pas just the latest with Lauren la Rosa. Sometimes you
- 1:34:09Speaker 3: have facts, sometimes you have details, sometimes you have a
- 1:34:11Speaker 3: little bit of everything.
- 1:34:12Speaker 4: The d on the Breakfast Club to me.
- 1:34:16Speaker 19: So originally t Tiny were awarded seventeen point eight million
- 1:34:19Speaker 19: dollars in the verdict, and then they were awarded fifty
- 1:34:21Speaker 19: three point six million dollars in punitive damages. Right, But
- 1:34:24Speaker 19: they've been to court a couple of times over this
- 1:34:26Speaker 19: for different reasons. But one of the reasons more recently
- 1:34:29Speaker 19: is the judge is trying to show more proof or
- 1:34:32Speaker 19: asking for more proof of the fact that whether or
- 1:34:34Speaker 19: not MGA did or did not intentionally mean to infringe
- 1:34:38Speaker 19: on the og girls.
- 1:34:40Speaker 9: So as of right now, the judge a judge has ruled.
- 1:34:44Speaker 19: Judge Selna has ruled no that the intention wasn't there
- 1:34:48Speaker 19: on purpose, so he reduced the damages from that fifty
- 1:34:52Speaker 19: three over that fifty three million to a dollar. But
- 1:34:54Speaker 19: ti in Tiny's attorney has rejected that of course, and
- 1:34:58Speaker 19: they will be going back to court for that as well.
- 1:34:59Speaker 19: So not like a final decision, but that came out
- 1:35:01Speaker 19: over the weekend and people were like, what the heck
- 1:35:04Speaker 19: is it.
- 1:35:04Speaker 2: The same judge that awarded them fifty three million or
- 1:35:06Speaker 2: this is a different judge different.
- 1:35:08Speaker 9: So the way that I'm reading it here from these docs,
- 1:35:10Speaker 9: it is the same judge. And they've been to court.
- 1:35:12Speaker 9: This is now the that was the third time that
- 1:35:14Speaker 9: they have been to court. There's been.
- 1:35:18Speaker 19: I guess like the first time they were in court
- 1:35:19Speaker 19: there was something that was said in the court room
- 1:35:20Speaker 19: that the joy wasn't supposed to hear. And then the
- 1:35:22Speaker 19: second time they went to back to court over the ruling,
- 1:35:26Speaker 19: there was like a case law study that they brought
- 1:35:28Speaker 19: into court to prove that the money should be awarded
- 1:35:30Speaker 19: that didn't necessarily line up. So the judges like, we
- 1:35:33Speaker 19: got to revisit this again. And now they're having a
- 1:35:34Speaker 19: conversation about the puniti of damages and then they'll be
- 1:35:36Speaker 19: back in court again over this because of course Tiny
- 1:35:40Speaker 19: are fighting it and their attorney gave a statement Tiny's
- 1:35:42Speaker 19: and said, this just shows how hard it is for creatives,
- 1:35:45Speaker 19: especially black artists and young entrepreneurs to protect their intellectual
- 1:35:49Speaker 19: property from billion dollar corporations just because of all the
- 1:35:53Speaker 19: like the fighting that they're going to have to do.
- 1:35:55Speaker 3: So hopefully that is a lot of times these corporations
- 1:35:58Speaker 3: can weigh you out because they just got more money.
- 1:36:00Speaker 3: You big bank takes a little bank, they can keep
- 1:36:02Speaker 3: you in court.
- 1:36:03Speaker 9: Forever, one hundred percent. But I didn't even know that.
- 1:36:06Speaker 19: You know, once these rulings come down like that, like
- 1:36:09Speaker 19: the back and forth. I mean, I guess because MGA
- 1:36:11Speaker 19: is fighting it. Yea, it makes sense, but it's like
- 1:36:13Speaker 19: at what point where it's like do we just get
- 1:36:16Speaker 19: or something and we get going?
- 1:36:17Speaker 9: Because how long can this go?
- 1:36:18Speaker 4: I wonder what cases like that?
- 1:36:20Speaker 2: You remember with I'm just gonna use the rap of
- 1:36:22Speaker 2: the game, right, the game got sued for like twenty
- 1:36:24Speaker 2: thirty million and loss, but then he couldn't go back
- 1:36:26Speaker 2: and fight that. So how can that company go back
- 1:36:29Speaker 2: and fight their lawsuit when artists like the Game couldn't
- 1:36:31Speaker 2: go back and fight his And so many different times
- 1:36:33Speaker 2: you hear artists couldn't go back and fight there. So
- 1:36:35Speaker 2: that's I guess, Like Charlay said, a big bank take
- 1:36:37Speaker 2: a little bit and they got the money to do it.
- 1:36:38Speaker 19: I'm not for sure in the game situation, but in
- 1:36:40Speaker 19: this one, they they're fighting, they are and so there
- 1:36:42Speaker 19: will be another hearing on the damages.
- 1:36:44Speaker 4: I hope t I don't get it. I do too, say,
- 1:36:47Speaker 4: it's clear that there was some stuff going.
- 1:36:50Speaker 9: On, one hundred percent like so clear, but then they win.
- 1:36:53Speaker 3: Seventeen million, but it was the fifty three million.
- 1:36:55Speaker 4: I was up in there.
- 1:36:56Speaker 9: Yes, so that's what I'm saying.
- 1:36:57Speaker 19: They got the seventeen right, Yeah, so the seventeen still stands,
- 1:36:59Speaker 19: but the wit was reported over the weekend was as
- 1:37:01Speaker 19: if it was just everything was dropped to a dollar,
- 1:37:03Speaker 19: and that is not correct.
- 1:37:04Speaker 4: That's why I was bursting down that way.
- 1:37:05Speaker 19: The seventeen point eight will still be owed to them.
- 1:37:07Speaker 19: The fifty three point six, which is the big number,
- 1:37:09Speaker 19: the punitive damages is what they you know, they want
- 1:37:11Speaker 19: all that. They're going back and forth about that right
- 1:37:13Speaker 19: now because the judge is saying, I don't think that
- 1:37:15Speaker 19: j'all showed enough proof that they did this on purpose, gotcha?
- 1:37:18Speaker 9: Okay not.
- 1:37:19Speaker 19: In other news, as we wrap up over the weekend,
- 1:37:21Speaker 19: boxing star Javonte Tank Davis was arrested for domestic violence.
- 1:37:25Speaker 19: He was booked early Friday morning, and there was video
- 1:37:29Speaker 19: of him like leaving the like the precinct where he
- 1:37:33Speaker 19: was booked at. So this was broken by a reporter
- 1:37:36Speaker 19: named Andy Slater. So he alleged that there was an
- 1:37:39Speaker 19: altercation between Javonte Tank Davis and his ex girlfriend that
- 1:37:42Speaker 19: happened a few weeks ago, and that Javonte Tank Davis
- 1:37:45Speaker 19: was wanted on a warrant because of that by the
- 1:37:48Speaker 19: police ever since the incident. He was pulled over by
- 1:37:51Speaker 19: the cops in Miami because his license plate tipped off
- 1:37:54Speaker 19: authorities and then that's when they took him in. Yeah,
- 1:37:58Speaker 19: So this alleged altercation went down around Father Day a
- 1:38:00Speaker 19: little bit after nine o'clock apparently or allegedly, Geronte was
- 1:38:05Speaker 19: picking up his child from the mom one of his
- 1:38:08Speaker 19: ex girlfriends, and during that exchange, the alleged victim told
- 1:38:12Speaker 19: police that she got into a very reable argument with
- 1:38:14Speaker 19: Tank which then turned physical and yeah, led to the
- 1:38:18Speaker 19: warrant and things of that nature.
- 1:38:19Speaker 3: So, yes, I wonder what that impact Lamart Roach Tanked
- 1:38:25Speaker 3: Part two because they're supposed to fight August sixteenth, I
- 1:38:28Speaker 3: think it was, But.
- 1:38:29Speaker 9: Why would it he can still would they stop the
- 1:38:31Speaker 9: fight because of these charges.
- 1:38:32Speaker 2: And I think boxing is the only one that when
- 1:38:35Speaker 2: this charges like that, they just keep it moving. If
- 1:38:37Speaker 2: this would have been any other sport, he would have
- 1:38:39Speaker 2: been suspended, it would have investigation. If this had been
- 1:38:41Speaker 2: any other profession, they would have definitely been looking.
- 1:38:44Speaker 3: But not.
- 1:38:44Speaker 4: I've never seen that happen in box.
- 1:38:45Speaker 8: So he's still in jail.
- 1:38:46Speaker 19: No, no, no, he's really There was a video of
- 1:38:48Speaker 19: him being released and he was like covering his face
- 1:38:49Speaker 19: in the video. So yeah, he's released. I mean unless
- 1:38:52Speaker 19: he I don't know why it would. I don't think
- 1:38:55Speaker 19: that it would though. In fact the fight.
- 1:38:56Speaker 4: Well that is the latest with Lauren.

- 1:41:28Speaker 2: for joining us this morning. He's the chairman and CEO
- 1:41:31Speaker 2: of Essence Ventures. He was talking about everything that happened
- 1:41:34Speaker 2: with Essence. You know a lot of people were upset
- 1:41:36Speaker 2: saying that things didn't necessarily go to where that they expected.
- 1:41:40Speaker 4: So he was there clearing everything up. So from to
- 1:41:43Speaker 4: the States for joining us, but.
- 1:41:44Speaker 3: Because you wouldn't give a hot guy man, because it's
- 1:41:47Speaker 3: hard to talk business with people who don't got none,
- 1:41:50Speaker 3: you know what I mean. So listen, you listen to
- 1:41:52Speaker 3: the criticism, which he did, and you just try to
- 1:41:54Speaker 3: do better next year.
- 1:41:55Speaker 4: But you know, coming up here they explain it. You know,
- 1:42:00Speaker 4: if you're a consumer, I'm sure you appreciate it. Right.
- 1:42:02Speaker 4: That ain't gonna change.
- 1:42:03Speaker 3: People's mind because some people just want to hate, some
- 1:42:07Speaker 3: people just want to be negative.
- 1:42:08Speaker 4: Some people weren't even there. Correct, he ain't got something
- 1:42:11Speaker 4: negative to stay right about what happened at and I'm
- 1:42:14Speaker 4: with you, I don't. I don't think I would. I
- 1:42:15Speaker 4: would do it.
- 1:42:16Speaker 2: If there was issues and there was problems, I would
- 1:42:18Speaker 2: release the statement like he did, and if it was
- 1:42:20Speaker 2: under my control, I would fix it for next year.
- 1:42:22Speaker 2: Like the sound messing up, that's that's not under his control.
- 1:42:25Speaker 2: He had a sound company to do it. There was
- 1:42:27Speaker 2: some you know, mishaps, and it happens.
- 1:42:29Speaker 3: But valid criticism. But criticisms are cool. Criticism is about
- 1:42:33Speaker 3: production being late. Criticism is about the sound being messed up.
- 1:42:37Speaker 3: Criticisms about things costing too much.
- 1:42:39Speaker 4: That's that's cool.
- 1:42:40Speaker 3: When you got a bunch of people saying why y'all
- 1:42:42Speaker 3: doing Joel of Wright context, it's like, come on, man,
- 1:42:45Speaker 3: it's too African.
- 1:42:48Speaker 9: Creoles, like is in a creole city, like they have rights?
- 1:42:53Speaker 8: Not ever that just you know the convention center where
- 1:42:55Speaker 8: they have fifty thousand people a day, it's free.
- 1:42:59Speaker 4: Did you know that?
- 1:43:00Speaker 22: No?
- 1:43:00Speaker 4: I didn't know that either. It's free for people to
- 1:43:02Speaker 4: go into the convention Center and see.
- 1:43:04Speaker 2: All the podcast, the stages, all.
- 1:43:06Speaker 3: This performing at times it's free.
- 1:43:09Speaker 9: Wow, you know that damn.
- 1:43:12Speaker 3: Talking about But it's wild because if you Creole culture
- 1:43:18Speaker 3: is a blend of a lot of different things, African traditions,
- 1:43:24Speaker 3: you would honor all of that if you're in essence.
- 1:43:27Speaker 3: But it just blows my mind and you anybody black
- 1:43:30Speaker 3: is mad because something is too African.
- 1:43:33Speaker 8: That is wild and everybody black. What it's like.
- 1:43:40Speaker 4: Wow, I don't know, man, I don't know.
- 1:43:42Speaker 3: Some criticisms are valid, some are just like, all right, man,
- 1:43:46Speaker 3: don't just don't come next year. And then I guess
- 1:43:48Speaker 3: we don't say that. Go support what the people that
- 1:43:50Speaker 3: want to support will support that.
- 1:43:53Speaker 2: Festivals and things like that where we have and we
- 1:43:55Speaker 2: have control of and we do so. I like to see,
- 1:43:58Speaker 2: you know them, when I like to see Sindbad's festival,
- 1:44:01Speaker 2: him and his brother's festival when they do it. Don't
- 1:44:03Speaker 2: like to see black people put things together and it's safe.
- 1:44:05Speaker 2: There's no fights, there's just positivity. And both those festivals
- 1:44:09Speaker 2: are like that, so smooth to both of those brothers.
- 1:44:11Speaker 2: All right, well you've got a positive note.
- 1:44:13Speaker 4: I do, and it's simple. Our character is what we
- 1:44:17Speaker 4: do when we think no one is looking. Always remember that,
- 1:44:21Speaker 4: have a blessed day, breakfast club bitches.
- 1:44:23Speaker 8: You I'm finished for y'all.
- 1:44:24Speaker 4: Dump
